“Rhea is amazing with Cleo and all her little quirks! Cleo is always excited to see her. Rhea is great at communicating and I some super cute pics of Cleo.”

“Michelle was so attentive and communicative as she looked after Theo. We received regular updates - all with Theo living his best life!! We felt safe leaving him in Michelle’s capable hands, and he seemed to absolutely love his time with her. Thanks so much Michelle”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a dog owner myself, so I truly understand the care, patience, and consistency dogs need. I have a beagle of my own and hands-on experience working on training skills such as leash manners, basic commands, and reinforcing positive behaviours. Beagles can be curious, stubborn, and scent-driven, so I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need calm, patient guidance and extra attention on walks. I’m a caring, reliable sitter who treats every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their individual needs, routines, and personalities—whether that’s supporting training, providing gentle care, or simply making sure they feel safe and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule as I’m currently not working and have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dog and household, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and unrushed care. I enjoy having the time to focus on each pet’s needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, exercised, and well looked after. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or theirs. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, walk preferences, and any special needs, and I provide plenty of attention, patience, and reassurance. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable, well exercised, and cared for—just as they would be at home. I do not take other pets in my own home.

“Keyleigh was amazing from start to finish. Betty loved Keyleigh as soon as she met her on the house visit. Keyleigh listened to us, and made us feel at ease. Whilst we were away there was clear communication which made us trust Keyleigh and we could enjoy our holiday knowing Betty was in safe hands. In the future I will definitely be asking Keyleigh to look after Betty.”

“Sacha was very happy with Lewis who looked after her and our house with no problems what so ever. Lewis is a great guy who’s approach to both Sacha and ourselves was relaxed and professional. We will definitely use him again in the future. Highly recommend.”

“Sally is so lovely with Cleo. She makes her feel really safe and assured when she is a bit uneasy about us going. Sally is such a great pet sitter and we are so pleased to have her looking after Cleo.”

About: I’ve taken care of a young cat aged 1 and a Rottweiler aged 11. Both at separate times and from a the shortest of 8 days. I have also owned my own pets including my cat aged 1 and a few German Shepard’s throughout childhood into adulthood. Currently unemployed meaning I am available fulltime to look after the pets that need to be cared for which is always a good thing for pet owners Nice big fenced off garden with currently no pets at the home. My cat stays with my ex gf mostly so the house is free of pets

“Megan is an absolute dog whisperer and a brilliant house sitter. We would book her again in a heartbeat. Our dogs don’t always take to people too quickly but they absolutely adored Megan and were a little disappointed when we came home. She treated them like they were her own and would send funny updates and pictures during the stay. She got to know their quirks and made sure they were loved and entertained - even ensuring they stayed cool and calm in the extreme heat we’ve been having. Megan also left the house absolutely spotless (despite my incredibly moulty dogs) and very kindly did the laundry. Thank you Megan!”

“Jacqui was great with Joey. She is patient, punctual and very good with animals. Highly recommended.”

About: I have moved to Portsmouth from NZ and here for my husband's job. Unfortunately, we had to leave our dog Remy in NZ with family. He is a 5 year old schnauzer. I love animals, I'm reliable, friendly and great with small/medium sized dogs. Happy to help with regular walks or the occasional extra hand and dog sitting. As I work part-time, I make sure I’m not working on days I care for a dog, so they receive lots of attention and companionship. Your dog will join me for morning and evening walks. If I need to pop out for groceries or errands, your dog will be safely left in their crate. At night, they’ll sleep in their crate in my room, so they won’t be alone overnight — and I’ll be right nearby. I provide attentive and responsible pet care in my apartment. Dogs are always kept on a lead during walks, and I take them out for morning and evening walks to ensure they get enough exercise and fresh air. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I miss having a dog around, I’ll happily soak up all the tail wags, walks, and puppy love your dog has to offer.

About: I have had animals my whole life. I’ve pet sat for friends and family many times. All shapes and sizes from Rottweiler to sausage dogs. I have always been a caring loving person with my previous jobs being in childcare. I’ve looked after kittens from birth and supported my cat throughout end of life care. I’ve looked after a cat with diabetes that need daily insulin injected. I have been working at Chester’s dog walking company but have some free slots each week. I love walking dogs from all different background. I enjoy the pets visits providing stimulating play. I’m a mum of three Sen beautiful children and I fit my dog walking and pet sitting around them. My husband is flexible when I’m needed to do extra. I love my days with my dog and others at the beach park or woods. I also work at Chester’s dog walking with I love so much but I have few daily slots so can fill. I have a warm loving home with two cats my puppy and three rescued guinea pigs. I have a small but secure garden with lots of access to parks

About: I have had dogs around me since I was a child. I have experience with small dogs as well as larger dogs. I have the most experience with larger dogs such as Border Collies, Labradors and Foxhounds. I am currently self employed, working as a security guard. I have a lot of notice when it comes to security shifts so can always prioritise work with your animals. My cats are indoor cats. So I have various cat trees and toys that they play with on a daily basis. I am comfortable with giving flea treatments as well as rewarding them with treats.

“We felt completely relaxed knowing our dog, Brew, was in good hands. Julie was easy to arrange with, communicated well before and during the stay, and was clearly very caring. Brew is already looking forward to having Julie come over again soon.”

About: Hi, I'm Kimberley! I've lived with cats ever since I was born which means I've grown up knowing how to care for them. I work as part of a civil service and my schedule is fairly flexible. I also have a valid DBS. My cat is called Eva and she's a 13 year old sassy tortie! I've had her since she was rescued as a kitten and my mum has her brother. In my spare time I love reading, crafts and journalling! I work full-time so my availability is mostly weekends when I am available to spend all day with your pet or drop-in visits on weekdays. Let me know what your pet needs and I can make it work! E.g. if your pet needs a certain amount of exercise, or sticking to a set routine, that's not a problem.

“Samantha was a star 🌟 , she was amazing and my westies loved her , had updates and pictures throughout the day , and came back to 2 tired out dogs . Will definitely book Samantha again x”

“Aliya and Amir were the completely perfect sitters, they were communicative both before and during the sit. My dog is 'special' in so many ways and they understood and dealt easily with all his quirks. The house was left in a great condition. I wouldn't have even a moments hesitation in inviting them back. Thank you Aliya and Amir.”

“My Floof is an anxious dog with extreme separation anxiety, but quickly loved Kate and was relaxed while I was away on a trip. I got lots of cute photos of them having cuddle time. I have come home to a happy, healthy dog, so I am very pleased.”

About: Grew up with a border collie (lots of long walks and training). I recently lost a Romanian Princess (rescue dog) and want to care for other people's beloved pets (cats and dogs) the way I took care of her. I'm working from home full time. This means I can visit in the morning, lunchtime and evening. Alternatively, I could work from your house (WiFi please). I live with my husband (a bigger live of pets than i) and my 2 year old son. My son is at nursery or other childcare during the week. For boarding or day care, your fur baby wouldn't see him during the weekday. However, he knows to "wave hello and give them some space", they are given separate spaces to eat and rest. I can walk your dog on lead or drive them to a safe location for them to be on or off lead. We could do a little training (commands or sniff). Cuddles as wanted by your pet (cat or dog). I find this question tricky because I care for your pets as they need. Each dog or cat are very different in their wants and needs. Due to childcare responsibilities, and to be fair to my partner, I can only house sit for 1 or 2 nights.

About: I have worked as a veterinary assistant for 3 years now, and I absolutely love caring for animals! I work with cats, dogs and small furries everyday with plenty of experience in handling, caring, behaviours etc... I have been pet sitting and dog walking since January this year, and after a very successful few months on Pawshake I have decided to join Rover too. I work full time at my Vets and I pet sit and dog walk in my spare time so please give me a message to see if I’m available. I do not offer services for pets at my house as I live in a house share and pets are not allowed. I am willing to stay at pet owners house.

“Kerry was great for dog sitting for us. Her communication was really good throughout and our dog looked like he had a lovely weekend with her - would definitely recommend!”
