“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.”

“We felt totally confident leaving our puppy Zelda with Virginia. She was thoughtful, communicative and clearly has a lovely way with dogs. Zelda was very happy and well cared for. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“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.”


About: Hi there! A little bit about myself – my name is Kamil, and I grew up with a dog in my family. I miss that special bond every day, and being around dogs has always brought me so much joy. I’m really missing it here in London. I work from home three days a week, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog, giving them the attention and care they deserve. I live near Haggerston Park and absolutely love taking dogs there for walks. If there’s more time, I’m happy to head over to Victoria Park for a longer stroll. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more relaxed, I tailor each walk to fit their needs and ensure they have a great time. I treat every dog like family, and I’m committed to making sure your dog has the best experience while you’re away! I work from home three days a week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your dog. On those days, I can offer flexible pet care, whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply hanging out with your dog to keep them company. On the other days, I’m happy to arrange dog walks or visits to suit your needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take only one dog at a time, ensuring they get my full attention and care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
About: I have looked after small/mid sized dogs for years in my flat in Covent Garden. I work from home a lot as I'm self employed so can provide constant care, and am available on weekends. I am also very responsive on my phone and love to check in, so feel free to message me anytime! I'll probably be sending you cute pictures anyway! I am a working voice over artist (who largely works from home or in studios within a mile radius) so I'm very available during the week/weekends/bank holidays. I also work part time at a dog friendly gym near my flat. I have a lot of free time throughout the week and am a fan of fitness so if your dog needs a lot of walks, I'm happy to accommodate! I am happy to take the parents' lead on this, if you'd prefer your dog sleeps in a certain set up I am 100% happy to accommodate, I'm also very happy to have dogs sleep in my bed! My flat is on the second floor of our building (but am happy to carry dogs who are unable to climb, which has happened!) and I have two bedrooms and an atrium where the dogs can rest without access to the bathroom/kitchen areas. I also live near several parks/green spaces.

About: I grew up in a home surrounded by dogs - particularly two energetic, but loving, Labradors. After leaving home, I began fostering dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs before long-term fostering a senior dog for the past three years. I've dog (and cat) sat for numerous friends, family members, and coworkers over the years and have experience with crate training, basic command teaching, and potty training. I have just recently moved to England from Canada and am looking for something to do with my free time where I can be with dogs and help others with my previous experience! I am a postgraduate student studying in Central London with a very flexible schedule. I am only in class for a maximum of four hours at a time and I only have class three times a week. I enjoy going for walks in my free time and exploring the city - both of which I hope to do more of with the help of Rover. In terms of caring for your pet(s) in your home, I am a major advocate for routine and respecting an owner's space. I will maintain consistent meal times as well as frequent washroom breaks. As an avid walker, dogs will be walked twice a day with lots of love in between. Based on the rules/guidelines provided by each pet owner, I will follow them diligently to provide the absolute best care for your pet, whether that be involving a crate, grooming after a walk, or whatever helps maintain that sense of normalcy for your pet.
“Matthew was amazing! Came around before to meet Oscar and learn about his needs and was very communicative and helpful throughout. Even offered to water our flowers. We couldn't be happier and would love to have him look after Oscar in the future!”

“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.”


About: I grew up with 2 dogs in my house and always been passionate about them. Started to work as a dog sitter in 2019 in Sydney Australia and continued doing it on ad off for the next years in Mexico City during 2022\23 and also here in London I take care of a family friend's dog when she's out of town. I simply enjoy bonding with pets and I feel I don't just take them for a walk or spend time with them but create a connection. I'm currently modelling full time so my schedule is pretty free during the week if not for some castings or jobs that will be scheduled before, but usually always free during the weekends. I live a 3 minute walk distance from Haggerston park, so will provide walks and park runs daily. In the flat is only me and there is a spacious living room connected to the bedroom where their bed can be placed, and can be supervised all the time. Will give the dog only the food provided or told by the parents.
“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: I live in a 2 bedroom flat in Covent Garden with a spare bedroom dedicated to pet sitting, I live close to several parks and work from home everyday. I grew up with a dog and a cat and I would love to help take care of your pet because I miss having a furry friend around! I work from home full time in marketing & pr so I will always be in the house and have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I’m available for boarding, walking and general company throughout the week! I do not have any current pets in my home and clean thoroughly after each pet visit. My spare bedroom/ office space is dedicated to pet sitting so your pet will have space and privacy.
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’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.

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!
“Auss was great with providing good care to both our cats over the holidays. Both our cats do not get along and Auss had the magic touch with them, making them friendlier to one another. He also provided multiple photos, videos and daily reports throughout our vacation, making us feel totally at ease while away. We highly recommend him and hope to work with him again soon!”

London pet owners share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for better care for our senior cat Betty. Ella was incredibly gentle and attentive with her. She sent beautiful photos every day along with updates on Betty’s eating and how she was doing, which put our minds completely at ease. Betty seemed happy and well cared for the whole time. We would happily book with Ella again and highly recommend her to anyone with a senior pet!
I am very happy to have found Blaise as a carer for our elderly poodle. She is warm, knowledgeable, able to read his needs and empathetic. He has taken to her quickly. Blaise is proactive, keeps me well informed with messages and photos of her visits and competent in administering medication. I feel confident about leaving our pet in her care.
Raquel was amazing with my cat, Elio. She was very communicative before and during the sit, putting my mind at ease right away. She managed to win his affection quickly and I could tell from the photos and videos she sent that he was relaxed and happy. I would 100% ask Raquel to look after Elio again and recommend her without reservation! Thank you so much, Raquel!

I can’t explain how appreciative I am for Annie. She helped me last minute with cat care for the week and was nothing but a pure angel. Not only is she a lovely, down to earth girl; she’s been amazing with my cat Cora (who has fallen IN LOVE with Annie!). Thank you so much🩷I will most definitely ask Annie again if I need a Cat sitter🥰🩷

Ray is reliable and was very good with our cats. We received daily updates and photos. All instructions were carried out perfectly. We returned to happy cats that were taken care of so that we could enjoy our holiday with confidence. Would definitely book again.

Sophie is the best cat-sitter we have used in the area. She is so good with all three of our cats, taking time to get to know them individually; and they all adore her in return. She is very communicative while we're away so we can totally relax knowing they are in good hands. Highly recommend.
