“Shannon looked after Cosmo and Tokyo and was absolutely brilliant. The cats took to her straight away, which says it all. She was reliable, professional, and a real pleasure to deal with. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend.”


About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets very seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away. I am a uni student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets outside of my studies. I am quite flexible. I am able to look after pets on some weekdays, evenings and weekends, and I am available full-time outside of term time. Due to my flat's pet restrictions, I only provide pet care services in my clients' homes, such as house sitting and home visits. This also helps your pets feel more at ease as they remain in a familiar environment while you are away.

“Leanna was brilliant. My cat took to her straight away. Leanna left me regular updates and photos. Very professional and made me feel safe leaving luna. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks Leanna.”

“Emily has been absolutely amazing! She has been providing regular updates and photos keeping me at ease that my boy is well looked after whilst I'm away. Thank you again and will be definetely returning when needed again 😊”

“Sapphire was great with my cat Whiskey! She was very reliable, and gave us a peace of mind while we were on holiday by providing regular updates on him & his activities including eating habits. We will definitely rebook Sapphire again in the future! (:”

About: Hi there! I'm an experienced pet sitter and walker, as well as owner, and have always done it as a favor since I love all kinds of animals and have had some friends who needed somewhere to leave their pets sometimes. I decided to make it professional to help whoever needs a little extra help! I've had pets all my life and was always good with them. At my flat I only have one cat, Nala. I'd love to petsit your cat/dog or take them for walks, making sure to keep them company and provide toilet breaks whenever needed, as well as play and relax a lot! If your pet has any special needs, please tell me, I'll gladly accept and cherish them! I'll also gladly take photos of the walk/daycare with your pet and keep you updated throughout the day! (: Currently working full-time and a Photographer but still looking after your little ones whenever possible! Limited availability but I'm more than happy to help (: Currently not offering boarding services but I can drop in at yours for either a quick check in or a day of fun and relaxation! I usually have some work to do or shows to watch so if your pet is a laid back one, I'll have no problem just chilling with them (:
About: Back in my hometown I take care of my dog and my two cats so I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of animals! Since growing up with animals I have always been able to fit into my schedule taking care of pets as i am a very organised person. in the UK pets do not come in my home very often I said do not have a pair of my own but back home I have so many animals in my home.
“Dipali showed respect for all my requirements, and gave me regular updates (including photos) of how my pet (a cat) was doing. It was clear when she visited, and from the photos, that my often nervous pet felt relaxed around her, and she was calm and happy to engage with them. She didn't hesitate to raise a minor issue with me when she encountered it, and on return everything seemed to be in order. She contacted me in a timely fashion to arrange return of my keys. I would not hesitate to use her services again in future.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. Family and friends have always relied on me to check up on them and give them the care they need! I’m available at any time during the week and weekends so I have plenty of time to look after your fury friends! Just let me know when suits you best :) I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. In my home, pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if required), and any special care instructions to help pets feel relaxed and secure. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I respect their home and maintain the pet’s normal routine to minimise stress. I ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and enrichment, clean up after pets, and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and wellbeing and would promptly contact the owner or a veterinarian if I noticed any signs of illness or an emergency. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: I’ve always been around animals but dogs have always had my heart. My sister and I got our pup Nala in 2023 when she was just 8 weeks old which feels like forever ago and like yesterday at the same time. Loosing teeth, medication, emergency vet appointments, potty training, heat cycles, I’ve done it all ! And confident in my ability to care for your fur baby I’m currently at uni studying paramedic science and love every bit of it. Demanding course so I’m normally free weekends and weekdays but after 4pm I care for dogs in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow their routine, give them plenty of walks, playtime, and love, and make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away.

About: I've helped train and care for pets from a young age, both my own and wider families, having sat for family friends in the past on an occasional basis. I have various other commitments to my ongoing university degree and voluntary organisations including Air cadets, but am incredibly flexible on time and can work around any schedule With some experience caring for unruly (although small in that case) dogs, I feel confident to look after dogs of any and all shapes, sizes and personalities, on walks and in any home

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who had no one. I have hands-on experience caring for 9–12 dogs daily, including feeding, walking, playing and providing basic medical care. In India, I was responsible for looking after stray dogs—ensuring they were safe, healthy, and never hungry. This taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different dog behaviours, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve handled: Daily walks and exercise routines Feeding schedules and hygiene care Basic medication and health monitoring Dogs with different temperaments and needs I truly love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Now based in UK, I’m excited to give the same level of care and dedication to your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate: Morning, afternoon, and evening walks Last-minute bookings Regular daily walks or long-term care I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can tell my own experience- Before relocating to the UK, I ensured that all the dogs I cared for were responsibly handed over to local authorities so they would continue receiving proper food, medical care, and protection. I take long-term responsibility seriously and always put the well-being of animals first.

I am currently training for a few hours during the day for varying days of the week but other than that, my schedule is pretty open and we can discuss what you need. I just want your dog to feel comfortable in my apartment. I feel like that's the most important thing, so any advice you can give me would be helpful, so that your dog or cat feels at ease.

About: Hi there! I’m Begum. I’ve been working as an interior designer for about 8 years now and also I am an aunt of my brother’s (of course mine more:)) cat Leyla for nearly 5 years. My life goes around my professionality, my hobbies and my loved ones including all the animals I meet even on the street.
About: I currently work at Dogs Trust, so I've got lots of doggy experience, of all breeds, shapes and sizes. I've also had lots of experience working in other rescue shelters across the world, such as in Asia, South America and in Europe! I have done dog sitting for friends and family and send regular updates and photos to make sure the owner can relax, knowing that their pet is happy and safe :) I completed an Animal Behaviour and Welfare Degree at University and have always had a keen interest in animals! I'd say that animals are better companions than humans (lol). I've volunteered at a Canine Hydrotherapy Pool which was very interesting to be a part of and also worked at a dog training and boarding kennels, so I feel I have lots of experience working and being around dogs :) I am available most Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work Tuesday - Friday, so am unavailable in the daytime, however some evenings could be possible. Feel free to message me with any availability enquiries :) I am patient, attentive and caring, so always giving your doggo the best time, whether that is popping round for a visit, a play and toilet, or having a nice walk in the park. I love an adventure and love walking so I'm very happy to walk! If your dog prefers a more chilled atmosphere, I am also more than happy to relax at home. I have walked many dogs in public and non public spaces, so I am confident walking your dog on lead. I can also be trusted in your home with your dog (I have had many responsible roles in the past, I was a keyholder and managed a shop by myself). I am always happy to answer any questions about myself.
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Leicester
Maisie has been so lovely! Partner and I have never used Rover before and dogs have only ever been left with family once so we thought the dogs would be far more nervous. They seemed really happy in every picture. Maisie was also so accommodating and agreed to an extra check in last minute. Would definitely book again x
This was Ruby's second meeting with our dog Elsie after an initial meet and greet a month ago. Elsie is nervous of strangers and a little reactive. Ruby was calm and happy to go at Elsie’s pace and the pair of them went on a successful walk together ending the time with a tummy rub! Hoping to rebook Ruby to build on this relationship. Thank you Ruby!
