About: I have had animals since as far as I can remember I am now in a position to help look after others and want to do so as it’s something I truly enjoy, growing up on a farm in Ireland I have a wealth of experience around taking care of animals and multiple breeds. I currently work from home quite regularly as does my partner Jamie so we have loads of time to fit in looking after your loved one. I have a fenced in garden that your pet can spend time in and I am more than happy to have them in my home / visit your home. I live beside bushy park and can take them for walks. Alternatively if you wish for them to be crated in my home etc I can facilitate that, whatever works best for you and your animal I can work with !

“Jason took care of our cat for 3 weeks. He was very attentive and Cikol was very happy after his visits. We would definitely recommend him and would like him to take care our cat for next times as well.”


“Ella was a fantastic sitter for our cat. She was professional, friendly and kept us update throughout her visits which was really reassuring! We can’t recommend Ella highly enough! Thank you Ella!”


“I was so happy with the amazing care and kindness that my dog received. Will be booking again and trust that they are perfect for my dog x”


“Wow what can I say. It was a little daunting handing over my keys and placing Cassie and Perse in the care of someone I’d only met once before. I had no need to worry Sophie was amazing. I had regular daily updates and sooo many wonderful pictures. Sophie is a great communicator, warm, friendly and above all loves my cats. I highly recommend her.”


About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was a young child. I have looked after other people’s dogs for a couple years. I have trained my own dog which has now sadly passed away. I retired this year and so I am available all week now! I am very flexible and can do most days of the week ! I have a fenced garden for dogs to play with a ball or just relax! I usually put the dogs bed my side during the day in the kitchen/living room . At night time we have an area off the kitchen where the dog has their own space and they can also be here during the day. Whenever the dog feels comfortable is fine with me. However I don’t have dogs upstairs in bed.

“Thank you Trung for responding to my urgent drop-in visit request promptly. When I was aboard and realized I hadn't received notification from my pet camera for a while, I was in a panic. It was late night in London. Trung confirmed he could go in 20 minutes, and he arrived as promised. He quickly confirmed my cat's safety, and provided me with peace of mind. I highly recommend Trung for his responsiveness and reliability!”


About: As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals -dogs, cats, hamsters, and birds, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience in pet care. Since I was 11, friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets, and I’ve always provided reliable, loving, and attentive care. While I adore all animals, I have a special place in my heart for energetic, playful pets who love to engage and explore. I’ve grown up with dachshunds (and still have the cutest wire-haired one in the family!) and now they’ve become a bit of a special interest for me 🐾 I am a part time waitress, with plenty of time on my hands. I am available 5-6 evenings each week, and spend the majority of my time at home, giving me plenty of time to spend with your lovely animals! Living right beside the riverside and multiple green spaces gives me plenty of opportunity for enriching walks, whilst the pet free home environment allows for a calm space for shy animals.

About: From an early age I would always beg my family & friends to be able to walk their dogs, and would be out for hours walking & playing with their dogs when they let me. I would make the lengthy trip to stay with my gran so that I could cuddle up to her two labradors. I would always be out in the garden playing with them, and I helped care for them when they got ill. When my friends go away I tend to go over and look after their dogs, feeding them, washing them, walking them, and having fun with them! I work part time, so can fit all dog walking around my schedule in order to benefit you & your pet! This also means I can be available last minute. Whether it’s an early walk, a late walk or any time of the day, I will ensure they get a lengthy walk, some good exercise, have some fun, and not come back too dirty! From my experience of looking after animals and pets I know how important it is to follow the owner’s instructions, as they know best, in order to keep the pet safe and comfortable! Whilst walking your pet they will always have my full attention, especially on main roads and when off leash. I will care for them as if they are my own!

“Leah is amazing!!! She’s very professional and friendly. It’s obvious she has a lot of experience and has a love for animals. I also got sent updates throughout the home visit :)”


About: I adore dogs of all shapes and sizes & I have looked after my friend’s Labrador, Cookie. He would always stay over, so I know when to take them out to the loo, safe and unsafe leash habits and which treats to help them avoid. Also, I'm observant as to when to offer cuddles or to give some space. Very keen to form a bond and become a regular pet sitter :) As a stay-at-home parent, I'm very flexible and free most days as I work part-time from home. So unless I’m away, I can usually do both weekdays and/or weekends :) Keen to meet local pet owners to lend a helping hand. I have a fenced communal garden great for playtime and loo breaks, plus I’m a 10-minute walk from Richmond Park! Perfect for longer adventures, where I always ensure any dog is on a leash (unless permitted to be let off.)

About: I studied animal care at NESCOT college which had a farm, cattery and a dog kennel. I have my own tabby cat Pepper who is 7. I also help out my friends looking after there pets. I've always loved animals everywhere since I was little! Pet care fits in with my schedule perfectly!. I have alot of spare time on my hands and hoping to turn pet care into a full time career as animals are a passion of mine. I have a fenced off garden and a cat of my own to keep your furry friend company. I have 2 nice parks near my house so perfect for dog walking! I do prefer to go to the owners house to look after pets.

About: Hi! Lovely to e-meet you, here is a brief description of my previous experience and why you should choose me as a pet sitter! Previous experience as a dog sitter with a variety of dog breeds and sizes including border collies, whippets, cockapoo, pomerians, schnauzers. I have looked after dogs for a while now as well as growing up with a miniature schnauzer as a family dog! Love looking after dogs after moving away from home and no longer having my family dog around! Happy to look after all types of breeds and for a varied lengths of sittings. Open to dog sitting at houses dependent on duration and availability. Looking for opportunities to dog sit open availability's please message to discuss! Will meet up first to discuss requirements and allow you to see me interact with your dog! I worked full time but spend three days working from home. I have the flexibility to look after your dog and spend time with them whilst wfh. Ability to take them for walks and potty breaks. On the weekends if booked on advanced can pet sit, walk or do overnight stays! I take time to let your dog settle in to a new environment, making sure to bond with them when they are comfortable. Happy to play with their toys, cuddles and go for exciting walks!

About: I’ve always had dogs in my family and loved them growing up. Me and my partner have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and even though he no longer has the time I have no plans to stop! I have had many dogs in day care and have quite a few regulars that i board now. I’m enjoy learning about animal behaviour and dog training in my free time.I do not discriminate! I love all breeds and will happily accept any breed if we are a good fit for each other. Feel free to message me for dog walking services too. If you are living in Kingston I’d be happy to walk your dog regularly. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule and a lot of free time. I also live with my partner so there is always someone home. I live in a flat with a fairly big communal garden that can be used. I also live about 5 minutes from 2 local dog parks and I’m always happy to visit bushy park or Richmond park. I currently do not drive but I am not afraid of a really long walk! As I have been doing this for a while now, I’m fully equipped with bowls, treats, toys etc. I also have enough space for a crate if needed. Having such a flexible schedule means I’m able to spend a lot of time playing and interacting with the dogs that I look after. We are always interacting and getting to know each other. I think this is why the dogs I’ve had settle in so well and usually very quickly. I do have some experience with nervous dogs and I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I’m currently working part time from home which is extremely flexible and doesn’t limit me at all. I am at home most days but I am happy to bring your dog with me wherever I go. There really is no better company than a dog or two! Even though I have mostly had bookings at my own home, I’m happy to house sit if that’s more comfortable for owners or for the dog.

About: I’ve always been a huge lover of dogs, cats, and pretty much all animals. I can’t have a dog of my own yet due to living in a flat, so I really enjoy being able to look after other peoples pets. Everyone who knows me, knows how much I truly love dogs. I’m excited to use my spare time walking dogs or pet sitting in the Surbiton/Kingston area, which is local to me. My main experience comes from 9 years with my sister’s 9-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who I consider my best friend. I regularly take him for walks, play with him, feed him, and look after him for extended periods when the family is away. Some of my long term experience includes: • 2+ years with a large Goldendoodle and a rabbit, who I have looked after regularly for long-term pet sitting while the family is away. This includes taking care of the rabbit, walking the dog, feeding them and looking after the home as if it was my own. • 1 year with a young Springer Spaniel, whom I walked and dog sat twice a week until the family moved away. Other experience and animals I’ve cared for: • Dogs: Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, Springer Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, Romanian rescues, Chow Chow, Cavapoochon, Labrador retriever, Vizsla, Cockapoo and more! • Other Pets: Cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish Although Rover bookings are insured, I also have my own public liability insurance for dog walking and pet sitting. I work full time remotely with few meetings (usually 1-2 hours daily) allowing me to provide your pet with plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for house stays and can adapt to your pet’s schedule to ensure they are happy and well-cared for. I think its important to keep animals in the routines they are used to and in their comfort zone. I look after your pets in your home and always treat them and your home like they are my own!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. I currently have a small Dachshund who I adore. I’ve looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and clients, and I always treat every dog with love and care. I’m gentle, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. Your pup will be safe and happy with me! I have a full-time job, but I often work from home. I’m available in the evenings after work and on weekends to care for your dog My home has a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely play. I live in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I also have a small, friendly dog who loves having company and can be a great playmate for your pup.

About: I have always had a dog in my life as far back as I can remember, from Yorkshire Terriers to German Shepherds I love them all. My most recent dog sadly passed away after a long struggle with a heart murmur but she received the very best care until the very end. Currently I frequently look after out friend’s Maltipoo puppy who is just such a joy! I am currently taking some time off work to focus on my art which gives me plenty of time to spend time with dogs! I am available on weekdays anytime and some weekends. I have a fully fenced garden and no dogs of my own so your fur baby will receive my full care and attention! I would love to hear about your dogs routines and habits so that I can provide them the best care

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for more than 15 years of my life and my children really love animals! I have a very big garden where the dogs can play all day and I love to take them on walks around the neighbourhood I am currently working from home and have all my time free to be with the pets at home and give them all the love they deserve I have a very big garden and live in a 3 floor house so there is lots of space to play and have fun! I have already hosted several dogs here and they love the environment I provide

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for my family and friend’s dogs (of various ages and breeds), I provide loving, dependable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cleaning up mess, your dog will be in the right hands! I work part time (freelance) so my schedule is very flexible. I can easily work around my job in order to be there for your pet, however I will need at least a week in advance for bookings! I only offer pet care in the owner’s home (as there’s too much going on in my house!) I can either drop in and out for feeding, walks, toilet breaks, or I can stay over/house sit. Whichever you prefer!

About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.

Ksenia K.
“Ksenia grew up with two very different dogs, one of them was a very capricious standard dachshund who didn’t tolerate much of children around him, but allowed Ksenia to be his guardian, and another dog - English working Coker spaniel- who demanded a lot of energy and taught Ksenia to be patient and be able to take a charge. Few years ago Ksenia got to know puppy wire-haired dachshund who has a very distinctive character but always would be happy to agree with Ksenia’s demands. There is also a ginger cat in Ksenia’s life, who is always happy to spend time on her lap. Ksenia understands complicity of human-animal relationships and can be trusted with any kind of animals.”


Katie S.

Nicola S.
“I have known Nicola for over 10 years and have always found her to be very kind, thoughtful and super caring about any of her own pets and of course with other peoples' as well. She has a really lovely nature and connects immediately especially with dogs and always tries to understand exactly what they're thinking so they're not anxious in any new situations. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs as I understand she has owned or cared for dogs most of her life. She is very responsible with the care provided to any pets as she always looks at all situations from the pet's point of view so as to ensure the pets are always happy and safe. We always feel very happy letting Nicola look after our two dogs knowing they will always be safe and happy under her care.”


Renee F.
“Renee takes regular care of my two dachshunds and takes them on walk and works really well with them considering they suffer from anxiety and need to have a medicine twice a day. They always come back really happy and even on the walks she makes sure they’re always coming back fresh and happy ❤️❤️”


Fred B.
“I recommend Fred to be a pet caregiver because he is very responsible and caring. He has proven how attentive and compassionate he is whilst caring for my dog. He was very gentle and affectionate, which made my dog Waffles feel happy and comfortable! He always fed Waffles on time and took him out for daily walks, whilst playing with him throughout the day. Fred’s calm presence and genuine love for animals makes him someone I trust completely with my dog’s well-being and safety.”


João G.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to recommend my friend joão as your next dog walker/pet sitter. For as long as I’ve known him he has always been an animal lover, His dedication and love for animals are evident in the way he cares for my pets when I’m away, He is the only person I trust with my dogs as he goes above and beyond to give them the best care. I wholeheartedly believe you should trust him as much as I do and enable him to further carry on doing what he loves!”
