“Thank you Eleanor for your great communication when looking after Clover. I knew she was in great hands and really appreciate how reliable you were. She looked like she was having the best time in all the photos you sent. Will definitely be trying to find some times you are free to look after her again!”

“Claudia was amazing as always! Our third time working with her and I can’t say enough hood things! Knowing she’s keeping an eye on my little guy and receiving her updates gives so much relief when I’m away. Definitely recommend.”

“Nicola was exceptionally accommodating and we felt we could trust her very quickly. She managed to get our very nervous cat to come out and play after just a couple of visits. Would definitely recommend.”

About: After many years in the corporate world, I recently retired and decided it was finally time to do something I genuinely love, caring for dogs. Dogs have been a huge part of my life, at one point I had four of my own. Caring for them through every stage of life has given me extensive hands-on experience particularly with rescue and senior dogs who need extra patience, understanding and care. Although I am new to Rover, I have spent many years looking after friends' dogs while they travelled, I understand how important it is for owners knowing that dogs are safe, relaxed, cared for. Your dog will stay in a spacious four bedroom house with a large secure garden. Dogs are welcome throughout the house, this is very much a home from home environment with no restrictions on where they can relax or sleep. There are comfortable dog beds around the house, plenty of sofa options if they prefer or my own bed if they so wish. I am fortunate to have four parks within walking distance of my home but I also regularly drive to larger walking areas and country parks where there is more space, quieter routes and plenty of shade during warmer weather. The walks are always tailored to the individual dog I am caring for. The younger and energetic can enjoy adventure walks, while older or senior dogs are given a gentler pace with shorter but more frequent walk. This is not just a business venture for me, it's an opportunity to spend time doing something I really love, giving dogs a caring comfortable home and their owners complete peace of mind. i almost forgot, I am insured and DBS checked. I am at home full time so fully adaptable to your dog's routine. I do have my own dog, she gets two walks a day. The boarded dog would have a minimum of two walk as well, more if needed. 4 bedroom house in Brockley with large secure garden. Many parks all around me. I very often head off to Kent for adventure and beach walks.

“Thank you so much for dropping into Nellie on such short notice and also squeezing in a drop in the day before too. So helpful, she warmed really well ☺️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family since I was a kid. I have also had my own animals and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I am reliable, caring, and absolutely love animals! I am very active and enjoy walks as well as playing with animals to keep them entertained. I currently work full time with 3 days being from home. I can do walks before work, at lunch or after work. I can also come and look after your pet for the day if I work from your home. I can come into your home and can quickly learn your pets routine, what their needs are and what is needed of me as a sitter.

“Lucyann looked after my cat Mia for 10 days and took such great care of her, lots of updates super attentive to Mia’s needs. Would definitely recommend! :)”

About: I’ve had dogs since the age of 7 and am now the proud mum of two cats! I truly love cats and dogs like family! I’m a teacher who loves animals. I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats. I’m available for drop ins or walks at weekends. From Monday 13th July I’m on summer holidays so can be available during the week too for your summer holidays. The most important thing to me is listening to the owner when they tell me about their pets needs. Their favourite walk, toy or treat can all help me to get to know their pet and ensure they are comfortable and content!

“Wandy has been looking after our cat, Harry, when we go away for a couple of years now. Wandy is so caring and attentive and our cat is always so calm when we get back. We get regular updates and photos/videos and we know he's in such safe hands.”

“Diany was wonderful--she's super sweet, took great care of our little cat while on holiday and kept us updated. We would very happily ask her to look after Dinosaur again 🥰”

About: Hello! My name is Ana and, with some help from my husband, Paul, I care for your furry family members with lots of love, patience and attention 💖🐾 I have over 10 years of experience rescuing and caring for cats in Brazil. Throughout the years, I’ve rescued many cats and today I have three rescue cats of my own — we even brought them with us from Brazil, because once they become family, no one lets go of anyone’s little paw 🤝🐾 I also have many years of experience with dogs, including bathing, simple grooming, medicated baths, administering medication, and wound care. I’ve cared for different types of pets, including rabbits and even a very special Syrian hamster (Professor Gerald Flufling 🐹 — you can see him in my photos!). Having only arrived from Brazil in 2024, I'm still improving my English. Whilst I understand most things, I have Paul on hand to translate🤭, making sure I understand every detail and instruction perfectly, so your pet’s routine is always followed with care and respect. With our combined experience, your pet will always be surrounded by attention, affection and a calm, safe environment. Whether your pet loves cuddles and company, or prefers space and a gentle approach, we will adapt to their personality and needs. We respect every routine and every little detail that makes them feel secure and happy. We have a small, secure pet enclosure in our garden, which is suitable for cats and rabbits to have some time outdoors without risk of escape or being visited by the local foxes. We also love to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away — so you can relax knowing your baby is safe, loved and well cared for 💕 We would love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I have a flexible routine and can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. Every animal is different - some are ready to make friends straight away, others are more nervous and find the experience of being separated from their owners or their normal environment quite traumatic. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment, either in my home or the owner’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I also have a small, secure pet enclosure (roughly 6sqm) in my garden, providing an outdoor space for animals without the risk of escape.

About: Experienced with small, big , puppies and elderly dogs . Of all personalties . Experienced and confident with anxious animals with an understanding for their needs and patience with all personalities. Since I was a little girl I have loved animals , I have been lucky to raise and train my own dog from puppy to fully grown . I currently live with two beautiful cats so Am lucky to be surrounded by furry friends. I have looked after animals for many years , simply because I love them and animal welfare is so important to me , it brings me peace of mind when I know they are in safe hands I also come from a scientific background so have good knowledge and a personal interest in animal behaviour and psychology and believe it’s something paramount to optimal wellbeing of our animal friends. I love being outdoors and taking dogs on long walks , equally I am happy to cuddle or play with them at home. So long as the little one is happy I am happy and finally working with animals is not a chore nor does it feel like work , I enjoy it I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting on a full-time basis. This allows me to dedicate consistent, one-to-one time and attention to the animals in my care, rather than splitting my focus. My routine is structured around fitness, which means I naturally maintain a disciplined and active lifestyle. On the days I am caring for pets, I am able to prioritise their needs whether that’s regular walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being present to ensure they feel calm and secure. I live close to two large, safe parks which are ideal for dog walking, enrichment, and exercise. I also have access to a private back garden for additional outdoor time in a secure environment. Overall, I am able to offer a high level of availability, consistency, and attention, ensuring your pet is never left feeling unattended or unsettled. Providing a safe, calm, and secure environment is my top priority when caring for any animal whether in my home or in an owner’s home. My home is very pet-friendly, with no carpets and a layout that allows for easy cleaning and hygiene. There are secure doors and the ability to section off areas if needed, which is particularly useful for introducing animals gradually or keeping them separated for comfort and safety. I live with two friendly cats, and I have extensive experience managing multi-animal environments. However, I fully understand that not all animals are comfortable around others, so I am completely happy and confident separating pets. The house is set up with both upstairs and downstairs spaces, making it easy to keep animals apart in a calm and controlled way if required. There are no children in the home just myself and 2 other female house members who are all animal lovers. During the day, it is usually just me at home, though occasionally house members may be working quietly in separate rooms. The environment remains calm, predictable, and low-stress. Alongside my hands on experience, I have spent time independently learning about animal welfare, behaviour, and safety. I am confident in recognising signs of stress or discomfort and always aim to create an environment where animals feel secure and understood. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will fully respect your space and follow your routines closely to maintain familiarity for your pet. I understand how important consistency is, and I will ensure their usual feeding, walking, and care routines are followed as closely as possible. Most importantly, I prioritise your preferences as an owner. I am always open to guidance and happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and any training approaches you would like maintained. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for safely, thoughtfully, and with genuine attention.

About: I have experience pet-sitting, most recently for a very sweet 5 year old Shiba and 15 year old cat, whose owners kindly left a 5* review: "Tania did a great job looking after our pets and home. Our dog and cat seemed very content and happy when we got home". Friends and family have often relied on me to check in on, walk and sit their pets - both cats and dogs, which I've always loved to do. And having grown up with a dog and spent the past few years living with cats, I also feel comfortable with different temperaments and routines, and I understand how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy the day-to-day aspects of pet care, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing calm companionship. I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so have time to walk, check-in, feed and play with your dog or cat! I currently cannot take pets into my home ad so unfortunately do not offer this service, but am available and reliable for walks and home check-ins.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, with experience ranging from Beagles and Rottweilers to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Over the years, I’ve built a strong, natural connection with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m calm, nurturing, and always respectful of each dog’s individual needs and personality. My partner also has extensive experience with dogs, and we work together as a team. There is always one of us at home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I’m more than happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident. My partner works from home everyday and I am home from Sunday till Tuesday every week. There is always someone at home and we are happy to take care of you precious dog. We live in an apartment on the 1st floor. Not recommend big dogs for us. We accept only dogs that has a relax temper and not barking much. We have a separate bathroom and bedroom and living room and plenty enough space to host a dog.

“Frances was able to drop in on Bessie while I had to be out all day at super short notice, she responded and we were able to get everything sorted really quickly which was much appreciated. Came home to a very happy dog!”

“Steve was a fantastic companion to our fur baby during a short trip to Paris in January. He always left detailed accounts of what our kitty was up to and some lovely photos of him too. Steve even offered to pop in and see our cat once between scheduled visits when our cat wasn’t at home for breakfast, which put our minds at ease! Thanks so much, Steve! We will definitely book again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
