“Bad weather meant i got stuck in Lake District an extra day. Quick mesage to Michael and he sorted to take Archie another day. Amazing service and meant Archie got more fuss, attention and tummy rubs. Win-win”


“Julia and Tony were fantastic! It was the first time we went away without Charlie and we had total peace of mind. Julia and Tony sent us regular updates with plenty of photos and videos so we could see what Charlie was up to! They have wonderful facilities for doge with an amazing agility course which Charlie seems to really enjoy ☺️ I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thanks again Julia and Tony!”


“Valeria is a caring and considerate pet carer. She is responsible and responsive everyday. Lucy like to play with her and boyfriend, and enjoyed staying at her home with her dog Johnny. Valeria helps to bring Lucy to me at a train station to my convenience, which helped me a lot in the night! I received the photos and video everyday and see Lucy adapted well in her home, which relieved my worry. Will contact her again when I travel again!”


“Lucy really put mine and my partner’s minds at peace whilst we went on our first holiday together since adopting our cat (Pablo). We chose for him to stay with her at her flat. I was nervous to leave him as it was the first time I’d been away from him for more than one night, but I needn’t have worried. Lucy handled him beautifully, kept track of what he was eating and even had him happily cuddling up with her in the few days that we were gone. She was very forgiving when he decided to meow all the way through one of the nights, which is unlike him but we soon figured out the reason! She also accommodated us when my phone broke during my holiday and managed to get photos and videos to my partner instead. One of my new favourite photos of him is one that she took! Pablo came back very happy, safe, and with better litter habits (something we have struggled with!). Thank you so much Lucy!”


“Benji seemed to really enjoy staying with Karla, She keep us informed about how he was settling in and photos to reasure us how he was throughout the day. We will definitely consider using Karla again.”


About: Whilst I have been in the pet sitting game for long, I’ve recently been taking care of two dogs over the last two months along with my girlfriend. The feeling of always having a little buddy by your side makes me feel warm and comforting, and I always love playing with and teaching them new things. My partner on the other hand has had pets since she was a child and grew up alongside dogs her whole life. She has plenty of experience training them, and understanding dogs in order to give them the best environment. We can take them on regular walks, feed them on time and play many games with them. We love to maintain the hygiene of dogs, by cleaning them, feeding them the right food, and ensuring they stay healthy so they can live their best life. We love cuddles and love giving them our attention so we would be delighted to have the opportunity to petsit. As I work from home I would be able to take care of them every single day and give them full attention. My partner is working at the moment (8-4) but once she finishes work she has all the time in the world to pet sit aswell. Whilst we live in an apartment, there will be plenty of space for the dog to run around and play with their toys. Additionally, have a really nice and peaceful area surrounding us where we can take them on walks safely. We have already established many different routes which are safe and open for the pet to roam around and take a walk.

“Shalina is an excellent dog sitter, she sent me lots of updates about my dog Mira and took her for a long walk with play time. I would recommend Shalina as a dog sitter and will book her again!”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring a dog sitter (Oluyemisi) who truly exceeded my expectations! From the very first interaction, it was clear that they were passionate about animals and dedicated to providing top-notch care. Throughout my time away, they sent daily updates, complete with adorable photos and messages about my dog's activities. It was such a relief to know that my furry friend was in good hands and having a great time. The updates not only reassured me but also allowed me to feel connected to my dog even from afar. It was evident that my sitter took the time to engage and bond with my pet, ensuring they felt loved and cared for. I highly recommend this Oluyemisi to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care for their pets. The daily updates made all the difference, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future!”


“Carolina and Guille were great with Cookie and myself. Easy to arrange a meet and greet. Kept me well updated how she was doing and put up with me, being a worrying human.”


“Alice and her partner were such a wonderful, friendly, dog loving couple who did an amazing job of looking after my dog overnight. He was clearly well looked after, taken on some lovely walks and I’m grateful for all the photos of him while he was staying with them. I would recommend Alice to anybody and I will be keen to use their service the next time I need some help.”


“Katie is very friendly, helpful and reliable. It was a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate Kylo. She ensured Kylo’s well being is to the upmost importance. He was well looked after, seemed comfortable and had a great time. Highly recommended and we would definitely book Katie again to look after Kylo. 🙂”


About: Myself and my boyfriend Toby are both animal lovers and have had plenty of experience caring for pets. Toby has owned dogs since he was a baby, particularly the border collie breed. He has experience feeding, walking and giving dogs medication- we have both looked after an elderly jack Russell in our current flat. Esme has owned cats throughout her life and loves all animals. We are young professionals who are looking for some furry friends to keep us company. We love the outdoors and going for adventures in green spaces and think a dog would be the perfect companion. I (Esme) work 9-5 as a community nurse, but I am free past 5pm and in the morning for walkies. Toby works from home everyday so can watch over your pups and provide regular toilet breaks. On the weekend we are both available. We have a spacious two bedroomed flat where your pet will be free to roam. Our flat has direct access to the terraced where they can be assisted. During the day, we would make sure to go on walks around the greener areas of the city so they can go to the toilet, sniff and get regular exercise. We particularly love walks around Castlefield and peel park.

“Wilson came home a very happy pup! Sophia is so lovely and made sure Wils felt safe & so looked after. Lots of photos during his stay which put our mind at ease knowing he was being given such attention. Wilson can’t wait for his next stay 🫶🏼”


“Ronnie went for a weekend and he was so settled and happy! Grainne kept in contact all weekend sending photos and it was so nice to see how well looked after Ronnie was! Would 100% recommend and definitely use Grainne again!”


“My high-energy collie had the best time with these two. Easy organizing, easy communication, the calmest, sweetest kind of humans. It was Nix's first time away from home after many changes, moving countries and stressful transitions, so I was a bit nervous about how things would go. These two are phenomenal. I picked up a healthy, happy, more confident pup! So grateful for this Rover find. 100 stars! Thanks for taking such good care of Nixy!”


“Mohammed was very thorough in asking questions about Mehlu's daily routines and habits before confirming the booking. He wanted to ensure he could handle Mehlu properly. I had informed him about Mehlu's resource guarding issues, and he carefully noted all the precautions needed. When I picked up Mehlu on the last day, I could tell Mehlu was reluctant to leave Mohammed! This shows how well they bonded during the stay. I will definitely book Mohammed again for Mehlu's future pet sitting needs.”

Esme H.
“Esme helped me out by taking care of my pup Tommy. After relocating to Canada, Tommy was a bit nervous and was struggling to get situated and leaving him with someone was a scary thing when I went away for the weekend. I was a bit nervous but Esme ensured that he was well taken care of, got his walks in and was calm. I requested she send updates (which she did) and he looked very happy and content with her. She really made my first experience leaving him calming where I didn't have to worry about him and knew he was enjoying his time as well. Definitely recommend Esme and will continue to get her to care for tommy in the future.”
