“We had a wonderful experience with Vitoria as cat sitter for our little girl. She kept us updated on all necessary info during her stay and made us feel at complete ease. Our Missy can we be quite shy with most but she seemed to take to Vitoria very quickly - no easy feat. It is also worth mentioning that as well as our cat, she also looked after our home while we were away, and we came back to find it just as we had left it. I cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely trust her again in future with our cat and home. Thank you so much! 😊”
“Val was perfect! She stayed in our flat to look after our shy and skittish cat, but within hours our cat fell in love with her. We received daily messages with photos and updates so we never worried once and could enjoy our holiday. She also left the flat clean and tidy. Our cat misses her very much and will look forward to our next time working with Val!”
“We loved having Lowri look in on our cats while we were aware for a long weekend. It was great seeing how happy and playful the cats were with her, and her thoughtful and detailed updates with each check-in gave us a great peace of mind. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a caring cat sitter in London.”
“Douglas is the absolute best, I always come home to a very happy cat after I’ve left him in Douglas’s care. I always receive photos and updates on a daily basis and it really gives me the relaxation I need when I’m away to know that my cat is well taken care of 😻”
“Helped me out of a really tough situation- Yan is really friendly and was up for collecting my keys from hospital, going to my home and feeding my cat, and then dropping the keys back off to me in hospital. I had no idea how I was going to get my cat fed and Yan came through! Would def recommend”
“Matilde has been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Zelda. She’s been so caring, attentive, and thoughtful, and it’s clear from the way she’s looking after her that she genuinely loves dogs. She’s kept us updated and reassured, which has made being away so much easier. We feel completely at ease knowing Zelda is in such safe and loving hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matilde to anyone looking for a trustworthy and truly caring dog sitter.”
“Thank you Zeynep for looking after our fur baby! Zeynep was very responsive to messages and super easy to work with. Our cat is very shy but became comfortable with Zeynep.”
“Pablo was so sweet with our bunnies and made us feel secure while we were on vacation, always letting us know he arrived and communicated every step of the way! We are so grateful! ☺️🙏🏻”
About: Hi! I'm Maria! I'm a dog mama from Colombia, currently residing in West London. I have extensive experience, looking after pups of all ages and sizes, l'd love to help fellow dog owners as a dog sitter. Your pup's company would bring me immense joy too! With a flexible schedule, I can provide consistent attention, regular walks, and playtime throughout the day according to the owner's requirements. At the moment I am available for boarding, walks, drop ins and doggie companionship, and with more advance notice I can be available for boarding or repeat companionship if you don’t work at home or are going away for any reason, you can be sure that your pup will be well looked after in a happy home away from home ♥️ I live in an apartment with a secure garden, providing a safe space for outdoor pees and poops and a nearby park for a longer walk through the day. On pleasant days, I anlso enjoy taking the pups on longer walks, maybe to the nearby reservoirs (only with your blessing as I know some doggies are in different points of training such as walking off lead/on lead, recall, etc) Inside, I engage in playtime and companionship - l've been a great playmate for my own dog (he told me that himself!) Feeding is tailored to your preferences. Rest assured, your pup won't be anxiously waiting by the door with an empty stomach while in my care. I'm committed to making their time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
About: I’ve always been a dog lover since I was a kid. Growing up, I had an English Setter named Mia whom I took care of for 14 years. Now that I’ve moved to London, she’s back in Istanbul with my family. I love taking care of dogs as a passion. I am a student at the University of the arts London studying interior design and I have a bunch of free time to spend and I am willing to spend it with your friend! I used to walk my dogs on a leash, but after a while I stopped and started walking them without one. I’m an honest person who will always prioritise your dogs’ needs.
“Matthew is amazing! I have a senior cat that requires medicine, liquid supplements, and decides when she wants to use her litter box and when she doesn’t. He did laundry multiple times for me, sent the cutest videos and pictures, and was so nice picking up and dropping off keys. I could tell she was as happy as she could be without me home. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Annie is a fantastic find. You can tell she truly loves what she does; my cat was completely at ease in her care. She’s a very experienced sitter who is both reliable and proactive with updates. Since this was my first time using the app, her guidance on what to expect was incredibly helpful. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter! Thank you Annie!”
“Our 3rd time using Samantha and can't recommend her highly enough. She keeps us updated regularly with sends pictures. It's lovely to see how comfortable my cats are with her and means I can go away without any worry. Thank you again x”
“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 💖”
“Lara was incredible to say the least! She went above and beyond what we asked of her and was such a joy to have her watch our cats. She was always keeping us informed and updated. She took lots of pictures, spent extra time playing with our cats, and kept our cats litter nice and tidy. I didn’t worry a single minute while I was gone and that was because I knew our cats were in great hands! Our cats loved Lara! Even our timid and shy cat warmed up to her quickly! I would highly recommend Lara! She is the best!”
“Sofia made everything very easy. From coming to my flat before hand to meet the cats to being in constant contact with me. I appreciated all the pictures she sent me of the cats and I felt massively reassured that they were in safe hands whilst I was away. Thank you Sofia 💖”
“Max is a dog whisperer. Our dog is standoffish with strangers & can take a few days to give trust but Max clearly knew how to manage that so the dog was relaxed & friendly with him from the off. Making arrangements with Max was easy; he replies promptly & gives informative answers to questions. He was punctual, provided good updates & he even re-confirmed in the morning of the booking. We won’t hesitate to ask Max to sit our dog again.”
London cat owners share their Rover experiences
Shixin (Niki) looked after my two ragdoll kittens when I went on my first holiday since getting them. I was quite nervous to leave them but thrilled to find a proper cat lover to check in on them and Niki was brilliant 💖 She gave really thorough updates, followed every note to a tee and spent quality time with the cats. She was very respectful of my home and the girls seemed very happy with her! I’d be really comfortable leaving her in charge again and will definitely be booking her for my next trip 🫶
We loved having Lowri look in on our cats while we were aware for a long weekend. It was great seeing how happy and playful the cats were with her, and her thoughtful and detailed updates with each check-in gave us a great peace of mind. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a caring cat sitter in London.
Weronika was an excellent care taker for my cat! She came exactly on time for the 3 days she looked after him, and was very respectful in the house. She is also skilled at giving oral medications and followed all other care taking instructions. She is also a very kind and friendly person, and made me feel very comfortable about leaving my beloved cat in her care while I was out of the country. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet carer! Thanks again Weronika :)
Jakub was amazing! He did drop-in visits for me fof 3 days, and came exactly on time every day. He was very diligent in following all instructions and was great at giving my cat oral medication. He was also very respectful in the house and left the place spotless. I came home to a very well-fed and happy cat - I could not be happier with the services! Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Jakub!
Kennedy was so great! She was available on short notice and came to meet the cats and see their routine. I got so many great photo updates. She gave them treats every day and I could tell my cats looked very comfortable and happy with her. She was so communicative which made traveling and leaving my cats behind a lot less stressful. Would definitely be booking for my next trip!
Maria was great! Met me for a meet & greet prior to the scheduled date so that I could give her detailed instructions — she did everything I asked for including giving my cat medicine! Very much appreciate the help and will definitely book again :) Thank you Maria!
Irem was truly exceptional and everything we could have hoped for in a cat sitter. She went above and beyond with her care, sending us thoughtful updates and adorable photos twice a day that completely put us at ease while we were away. Her communication was outstanding, and it was so clear how much genuine love and attention she gave Fitzie. He was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned, which says everything. Irem is kind, reliable, and incredibly attentive - we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for the very best care for their cat.
