5. Lesley R.
“It was so reassuring to have Lesley coming round to see my cats while I was away over Christmas. I loved that she stayed for 30-40 mins each time to feed them, give them a treat, play with them & give them some love. She’s very experienced with cats and I always felt they were in great hands! Thanks so much Lesley, I highly recommend to anyone!”

“Natalie provided a nice care for my cat while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned.”
8. Katherine M.
“Kate is an avid cat & dog lover, often noticing the various animals that are around and being excited to say hi to them (especially sight hounds!) Kate has looked after 2 of my dogs - a 4.5kg Shih-Poo and a 23kg American Staffordshire Terrier. Kate's calming presences and thoughtfulness of the animals allows them to warm up to Kate at their own pace. Kate often observes and reflects on what would be best for my dogs based on each of their personalities. I highly recommend Kate as a sitter your fur baby will be happy!”

“Miranda was so great! She took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She sent lots of photos and we felt really comfortable knowing she was there.”
15. Emma J.
“Emma is a family friend and I knew that she looked after dogs so when we booked a holiday I asked her to look after my 6 month old dog Coco. Emma took great care of Coco, just like I knew she would. She is a caring and kind person and I completely trust her and know that she would give every dog the same care. Emma sent me photos of Coco and messages to let me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. She took Coco on some lovely walks and Coco had a favourite spot on the sofa with Emma. Emma's family are also great with dogs and Coco loved playing with Emma's girls. I would recommend Emma to any dog owner who wants their dog to be well cared for.”

“Elena is a very caring and loving person She looked after my dog very well to the matter that every time she picks up David, he always jumps on her and he doesn't even look back for me Furthermore she is so friendly and kind and this is one more reason that makes me feel safe about my dogs security xx”

“I've known Simona for years, and her love for animals is truly something special. Simona has a natural talent for connecting with pets. She’s patient and kind. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or an older dog needing a little extra care, Simona gives them all the love and attention they need. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Simona is the perfect choice. She’s caring, trustworthy, and truly passionate about animals. I can’t recommend her enough!”
18. Lauren M.
“We were nervous to leave our shy whippet Mari with a stranger, but Lauren became a quick friend to both Mari and us! She is incredibly warm, gentle but energetic - great for entertaining a needy dog. We would 100% recommend her to anyone needing anything from dog walking to overnight stays.”
19. Franzi S.
“Franzi has been looking after teddy a number of times so far from when he was still a little puppy. She always gives him the best care, so good he always loves to go back to her and gets excited whenever he sees her. Also, he loves playing with her dog, Neo, who is super friendly. I would highly recommend franzi for both dogsitting and boarding.”

About: We both love dogs and grew up with a range of pets in our home. We're not quite ready to be full-time pet parents so provide dog-sitting services instead! We've used Trusted Housesitters three times to house and pet sit and are looking forward to using Rover to look after your pet in our home. We both work full-time from home so your pet will never be alone. We both have flexible jobs so are able to give your pet attention and walks throughout the day. We have a four-bed home on a quiet road with a secure and enclosed back garden. Our garden has enough space to go to the toilet and have a sniff round, and we're a few minutes walk from Hilly Fields. We have no pets, and don't dogsit for more than one person at a time.
