“Matilde did a fantastic job with Zelda during her hour drop-in. She was punctual, reliable, and clearly very confident with dogs. Zelda was relaxed and content in her care, which was lovely to see. She followed all instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us real peace of mind while we were out. We’d happily recommend Matilde and would absolutely book her again.”
“Vitoria was great. Minnie can be quite shy with people she doesn’t know but she took a very quick liking to Vitoria, immediately demanding cuddles! Vitoria was very punctual every day, provided us with timely updates, pictures and videos, and was very kind throughout the process. We will definitely book her again.”
“Pablo was great with Pepper. He sent regular updates and photos. Pepper is a very nervous and shy cat but she warmed up really quickly to Pablo and was clearly comfortable in his care. I highly recommend Pablo to other cat parents.”
About: Hi! I’m a soon to be graduate from vet school and in the meantime am looking to help my community before I start working! I helped raise my family dog from the age of 8 and as I have grown older have helped care for dogs and cats of all ages! Since I have experience working in a veterinary hospital setting I am capable of handling and caring for kittens, puppies, senior pets and any age in between. I also have 10 years experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering. No dog or cat is too big or too small for my heart ! Please note the summer can be quite hectic for me at the moment so I do my best to update my availability calendar ! I have recently finished my degree as a vet student and am waiting to graduate. I am currently available to help outside of weekends mainly before I start working as a vet. I try to update my calendar availability as soon as I can. I apologize if you reach out and I can’t be of assistance in advance ! The only service I do not offer is bringing the pet to my home. All other ROVER services are on the table and I try to care for your pet just as you would! I have no problem with walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, or any other needs your pet may have. Let me make you feel comfortable with leaving your furry family member with me for a while! I also am okay with meet and greets beforehand if necessary.
About: My passion - and respect - for pets, especially dogs and cats, started very early...actually since i was born i have shared my life with these amazing creatures. This has allowed me to learn more about our friends. I've always considered them as relevant part of my existence and have always been rewarded with the same love. Looking after a pet, going together for long walks, playing games in open doors is one of the most satisfying things in life. Vegetarian, animals lover. I’m currently not working and have plenty of time I can spend looking after pets. So I’m available to cover different owners needs and hours I work at building trust first. When the pet is comfortable with my company, food and walks become easier because of comfort and attention to detail.
“Enrica was amazing! Our dog can be shy, but he got along with Enrica right away! She definitely has a way with dogs : ). We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“Belle had the bestest time with Camila! Thank you so much for being available with short notice and for taking care of Belle! Camila was nothing other than professional and friendly! Would absolutely recommend”
About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and I used to live in Spain before coming here. Here in London I have taken care of two of my friends' cats and the dog of a third friend when they have gone on holidays. I have stayed at their houses as is easier for the pet to feel safe and at ease, I have made sure that they are feed, change the cats sand and taken the dog on walks and to the park to play. I am currently working 2–3 days a week in the mornings, up to 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, or 2:30 PM per day in retail, and three evenings a week as a childminder from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM (sometimes 5:30 PM). I am always free one whole day per week (mostly Tuesdays), most evenings, and Saturday afternoon. First of all, I make sure to follow all the instructions that the owner gives me. I keep an eye on anything they can eat and I play with them.
“Matthew is incredible every time! I’ve gotten pics and vids every day and my baby is the happiest she could be with him. I feel so much more relaxed knowing she’s so well taken care of with him!”
“Annie was great with Koji from the moment she met him and I could tell he was at ease around her so felt really comfortable. During her visit with Koji, Annie kept me well informed and sent photo updates and I could see Koji was really happy and being well cared for. I highly recommend Annie and I look forward to next time she can look after Koji as he clearly is a fan too.”
About: Hi! My name is Bridget, and I’m a kind, caring, and responsible animal lover offering dog walking and pet sitting services. I’m very flexible with my schedule and happy to stay in your home to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I’ve grown up in central London so I know all the best parks for engaging and enriching walks. I also have a car and am more than happy to take your dog out of the city for a big countryside walk and a proper adventure. Sadly I can't have a dog where I live, but I’ve had my own cat for over 10 years and have regularly looked after friends' and family’s dogs. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, warm-hearted, and experienced, I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home on my own schedule. I occasionally work in a shop where I would be able to bring a dog in and look after throughout the day. I am available every evening and almost every week day in the day time. I have a relaxed cat who keeps to himself and am walking distance from many central london parks. I provide lots of attention and cuddles but allow pets to come to me in their own time.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, with my family growing up with dogs of various breeds and taking care of neighbours and friends pets as well. Have experience training puppies and in senior animal care, and would be excited to meet your furry friend and provide them with the care they need whilst you are away. Although working full-time, I am able to work from home most Fridays and would be able to take your dog to a local park to relieve themselves and get rid of some energy, before a longer walk (suited to your pets needs) during lunch time. The rest of the day would consist of relaxing, playing and puzzle games for your pet, before another evening walk to make sure they are tired out by the end of the day. Naturally since not all pets are able/want to go outside, this will depend on your dogs needs and wishes, with a relaxing and quite environment suitable for every pet, and loads of activities for those who want it. I have lots of experience with pets of all ages, and am happy to adjust to your training methods and your pets needs. I have personally crate trained puppies until they are old enough to not cause mischief but am happy to continue with this method, or not, depending on your preference. Pets would be allowed in every room of the house, with windows and doors being secured well during their stay. I would not have any guests over during your pets stay, unless advised that they would not mind this, as your pets comfort is of top priority. For house visits, I would make sure your pet is well fed and watered, has been eating and has not made a mess anywhere, as well as check up on their condition visually and physically as much as is possible. I will also send up frequent and detailed updates on what your pet has gotten up to, with loads of cute pictures!
About: , I’m Milena and I just moved to London! I’m an enthusiastic, curious and outgoing person who loves dogs :). I’ve grown up with dogs since my mom’s in the industry, she takes cares of anything from training (basic education, rescue, guarding…), day care, pet sitting, dog shows, and even has her own litters up to twice a year. I currently own a Doberman, Weimaraners and a Jack Russel (+ a cat) at my parents’ home! I’ve always been surrounded by dogs (small and big) and have tagged along to learn the basics of dog training for both puppies and adult dogs. Since moving out for uni, I have been focusing on dog sitting and walking since I can’t see myself spending a week without at least one furry friend! I enjoy taking them on walks (that I call “little adventures”), playing with them, cuddling, you name it. I will be starting a full time internship in Knightsbridge on July 1st. But my early mornings and evenings are free during the week, and I have my weekends free! I am very a adaptable person, so I know I can manage balancing out social life, sports (I do athletics) and taking care of your best friend :) I am renting out a room for my time in London, and would thus prefer if I could take care of your pet at your home. I can easily move and come around if needed, whether it is pet sitting or taking them outside :)
About: I come from a big dog loving family and have had dogs since I was a kid. We currently have two very sweet german shepards named Kai and Mak! I pet sit frequently when I am back home in San Diego, CA, and I love animals of all kinds! When I was getting my bachelor's degree, I fostered some very sweet cats and we were able to find both of them their forever homes! I am currently getting my masters degree in London, but I am only working on a paper until September so I have a lot of free time this summer to pet sit or do some dog walking! Currently, I am just working on a dissertation, and since I can work on it from anywhere, I have plenty of time for dog walks or just spending time with them! I enjoy going on walks daily so it is easy for me to get good walks in for the dogs! I don't have another job right now, and I enjoy going to the gym for about an hour a day, and might spend some time with friends, but my schedule is very open and I understand the importance of being with pets often while pet sitting! While pet sitting at the owner's home, I typically just spend a lot of time with the pet, whether it is playing with them or just hanging out by them. If the pet is slightly hesitant on my presence due to shyness, I would have no problem with giving them their space until they are feeling more comfortable. I would follow the owner's instructions, for example, stick to their feeding and walking schedules, and if there are any special circumstances like necessary medications, I would work with that. My goal is to make sure the pet feels safe, happy, and well looked after while the owner is away, with lots of attention and affection throughout my visit.
“Sevinj was an absolute star with our sweet Poppy! She took really good care of her while we were away. We contacted her with very short notice, she was super flexible and helpfu. She sent us lots of videos and photos and she’s was super sweet. We definitely recommend her and we will be booking her again in future for sure! Thank you Sevinj, absolute star 💖”
“Xixi was incredibly attentive and caring throughout the whole experience. She got along wonderfully with all of my cats and clearly took the time to understand their different personalities. I loved the adorable photos and updates she sent—they gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful cat sitter.”
“This is the second time Alba looks after my cat. I came back to a happy pet again - Alba sent regular updates from her daily visits and took very good care of Chewy. My very shy and nervous pet has trusted Alba and does not hide with her visits and actually comes out of hiding and is comfortable. Thank you massively”
“Rosie took amazing care of my cat Bailey while I was out of the country for 10 days! She sent me detailed daily updates and lots of photos, which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Rosie to anyone looking for a cat sitter who will care for your pets as if they were her own.”

Ruo Xuan took care of my very shy kitty for three days and I could not have asked for a better sitter! Not only she completed all the detailed tasks perfectly and efficiently, she really made efforts to lure out my shy and hiding kitty with love and compassion. My cat has NEVER opened up to anyone but family but he actually opened up to her in only two days! Even let her pet him. By day 3 he was completely relaxed and I could tell by the photos Ruo Xuan sent me, he completely opened up to her. I cannot be more grateful and finally I feel like I can go on more trips. Thank you!!!!
Claire was very nice and very straight forward. She kindly came and met me ahead of looking after Paris for a few days. And she went above and beyond to make sure Paris had company and some fun game time. She also supplied some really nice photos. I highly recommend.
Douglas took wonderful care of our two maine coons, Basile and Cannelle, while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout, with quick responses and regular updates that gave us real peace of mind. He was reliable, respected the agreed visit times, and even brought toys to drop ins to keep the cats hunting :) . It was clear that he genuinely cared about their wellbeing. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and would not hesitate to book with Douglas again. Highly recommended!
If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, look no further. We will book with her again in a heartbeat and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We absolutely adore Alba and cannot recommend her highly enough! 🐰✨ Leaving your pets behind while travelling is never easy, especially when you’re on the other side of the world but she gave us something every pet owner hopes for… complete peace of mind! 🙌🏻🤍 Every single visit came with thoughtful updates, lots of photos and videos and detailed notes about how the bunnies were doing. Not only did she show us our sweet little fluffballs 🐇🐇 but she also showed their food, water, hay, enclosure, and even that everything was safely secured and locked before she left which gave us such peace of mind.🔒✨ What we loved most of all was how much attention she paid to their personalities. 🥹💕 She would tell us about their funny little habits, what they were up to that day, who was being mischievous, who was being cuddly, and all the adorable details that made us feel connected to them even from thousands of miles away. Most importantly, we trusted her completely. ❤️ Even while travelling through India where communication wasn’t easy, we never once found ourselves worrying whether the bunnies had been cared for. We simply knew they were safe, loved, and receiving excellent care. That level of trust is priceless. ✨ She is kind, thorough, reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals! 🐾🖤
Every step of booking Erin to look after my cat was so easy. She was very attentive and offered a free meet and greet beforehand. She sent regular updates and sent me some lovely pictures. I would 100% recommend her and will be asking her to look after my cat again. Thank you
Lucrezia was amazing! She was very punctual, communicative and sent me lots of photos and updates while I was away. She took such great care of Neto and I could not have been happier with my choice of cat sitter. Knowing he was in such good hands helped me feel much more relaxed while I was away. I would definitely recommend Lucrezia to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to look after their pet!💯
I have two cats who had absolutely amazing times being looked after by Jess on her drop-in appointments. To be honest, I have never seen my cats reacting in a way they reacted at Jess - they fell in love with her and trusted her completely immediately on her first visit. She cared after them amazingly, played a lot, petted them and gave lots of love and attention - and I am even a little jealous of how much they have fallen in love with her! I will definitely be reaching out to Jess as the first go to person for all my catseating needs!
