“I highly recommend Susanna, she has been absolutely amazing and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout our trip. Our cat is normally very shy and hides when he sees new people but was very comfortable around Susanna which was lovely to see. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much ❤️”
“Sarah was very attentive and curious about Yvie and was in communication throughout my short trip away. Every instruction was followed and Yvie seemed to take to her from day 1. Super friendly and always responsive, I would highly recommend Sarah for your dog or cat. Thanks again!”
About: We have raised Carlton from puppy whilst living at a flat. He is well house trained and very good with other dogs. We have the knowledge and patience for puppies and are open to all dog personalities. Carlton is a Shetland sheep dog which are known for their barking and intelligence. We know how to deal with excessive barking and how to keep a dog mentally occupied. We are both working from home full time. One is us is self employed so has a very flexible schedule which can be helpful with collection/ drop off. We are out with Carlton around every three hours, so your dog will be sure to get exercise during their time with us! As mentioned, we have a very friendly dog who loves to play with other dogs. We have space to crate your dog if necessary (we would just need to borrow the crate). Plenty of toys for them to play with!
About: I've had my own furry friend for a solid decade now. I've been his trainer, his caretaker, and his playmate, 24/7. So, rest assured, your pets are in for a blast with me! Hi, I’m Froso aka Frostie! I’ve always been a huge dog lover and even have my own pup back home in Cyprus, so I know how much they mean to us. Since I work from home for a pet food company, I have lots of time to give your dog love, walks, playtime, cuddles and treats😉. I’ll care for them like they’re my own and keep you updated so you know they’re happy and safe. 🐾❤️ In my flat, pets are family. I ensure a safe, loving environment, always prioritising their well-being, their fun and entertainment while they're under my care.
“Saffron and her partner were BEYOND amazing with our two timid at first kitties. They played and fed them, even clearing the litter box when it was a little too full. Before booking they came and spent some time meeting our cats and getting to know their little personalities a bit, which we were so impressed and happy with. They regularly communicated with us and sent lots of photos and videos when we were away, so we knew our cats were in good hands and getting all the treats and fuss. Would 1000% use again, a really great experience and we’ll be booking Saffron again in the future.”
About: Hello! I'm Graeme, and I am so excited to meet your furry friends! My partner Rob and I have both grown up with dogs all of our lives and we're really missing the love and affection we want to give as we can't commit to having one of our own at the moment. My family have always had dogs from I was a kid including Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and mixed breed rescues. We regularly babysit our friends Maltese (Daisy) for weekends, and any dog welcomed to our home becomes part of our wider family. Rob and I both work a mixture of office based and home hybrid Monday to Friday so are flexible in our availability for day care, drop in and boarding mid-week and weekends so get in touch. Please note that my ability to work from home is reducing so longer stays cannot be guaranteed, and I will need to review what’s possible. We kindly ask that if your dog has separation anxiety, and cannot be left alone for any period of time (even for us to go to the shops) we are unable to accept your request for sitting / boarding. We live in a decent sized apartment, with a securely fenced balcony with lots of good walking routes close by near canals, parks and quieter green spaces.
“Thank you so much to Elizabeth for taking care of Fleefer while we were away for Christmas. Elizabeth was amazing with Fleefer from day 1 and really got along well with her. The daily updates were amazing and we could really see how comfortable Fleefer was with Elizabeth, and I think she looked forward to every drop in visit! Elizabeth is very trustworthy and we would absolutely like her to come and take care of Fleefer again when we are away in future. Thank you!”
“Sofie has started drop ins with my rescue dog Rita, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Rita has always been super anxious with people coming in the house, but she already loves Sofie after a couple of visits. That's testament to Sofie's patience and how much she cares about dogs.”
About: Both my partner and I have been animal lovers all our lives! We've previously used borrowmydoggy, and we jump at any opportunity to mind, walk and play with our friends' pups! I owned 2 cats previously in my family home I work from home two days a week, and my partner is remote 95% of the time so we're really flexible with our schedules depending on what you need. I am also open to house sitting Thurs - Sunday where I can WFH and be available to your pet around the clock! We live in an apartment in Manchester City centre, which is very open plan. I will only take your dog on walks in areas which are pre-approved and follow any specific instructions for looking after your pet very precisely. For doggy day-care, I can provide round-the-clock car, and we have a couple of dog-friendly parks close by that we'd make full use of for any furry guests!
About: I am 52 years old and have fed, walked, mucked out and administered medication (pills) to: dogs, cats, budgies pigs, pigeons and a rabbit. I have had a loving connection to animals since childhood. I respect their right as individuals being mindful of their needs for companionship and down time. I can provide caring and respectful interaction with your companion animal and carry out instructions for feeding and their other routines as well as make sure that your property is kept secure and tidy. I am physically fit, (running, cycling, swimming and climbing). I love to get out and about especially hiking/walking/running at your dog's pace and I love to play them at their own games, tug of war and fetch! I provide regular photo and video updates and supervise their care routines. I have 11 years of monthly volunteer experience at a vegan ran animal rescue sanctuary, which keeps rescued pigs, sheep, cows, turkeys, geese, ducks, an alpaca and also had a sadly departed rescue deer. I have also volunteered at Kerala animal rescue in India for stray dogs (rescue, neuter, vacinate and release). I can provide references upon request. I'm currently working from home and enjoy taking breaks to exercise and interact with companion animals. We usually play their favourite game or walk/run either locally or on an exciting trip. I usually sit with companion animals in their home, and get a sense whether they want to play or chill out. I also provide their food and medication per regular routine.
“Gabriella was fantastic, great communication throughout the booking process, meeting of Baron and throughout the visit. I would highly recommend Gabriella if you are looking for a extra love in your dogs life.”
About: I've had pets the majority of my life, before moving for uni I lived with 3 cats, a dog, and two guinea pigs! As well as caring for my own pets, I was also responsible for walking my grandmothers dog during his final years when she was unable to keep up with what he needed for fitness. Looking after pets isn't just a chore in my eyes its enjoyable and I love learning animal's personalities! I'm currently a PhD student which means I have a lot of control over my work hours, so I'll be available to care for pets any time during the work day, as I can come and go when necessary or work from my laptop if I'm pet sitting in yours or my own home! Care for pets in my eyes is treating them like a member of the family! I'll play with, feed, walk, and love your pets. Adaptability is key as well, for example, where my household is big on spoiling with treats (within reason of course), I wouldn't do this without express permission when caring for someone else's pet!
“Jack is absolutely amazing. We feel really lucky to have found him on Rover. Our dogs love being with Jack. They have the best of times. Booking Jack has been a wonderful experience. He keeps us fully informed with lots of photos and updates on our dogs. It’s clear that Jack has a heart of gold and takes great care of our dogs. They couldn’t be in better hands. We really appreciate his kindness and flexibility. Highly recommended.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was young, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic pups to gentle seniors, I’m comfortable adapting to different temperaments, routines, and needs. I understand how important consistency, exercise, mental stimulation, and affection are for a happy dog. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, structured routines, or simply calm companionship, I tailor my care to suit your dog’s personality and energy level. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed and following specific feeding, training, or behavioural guidelines to keep everything consistent while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I joined this app after having a disappointing experience with a sitter for my own cat, which inspired me to become the kind of pet sitter I wish I’d had, attentive, reliable, and genuinely invested. I’m also very happy to tailor communication to suit your needs. Whether you prefer frequent photo updates, detailed messages, or simple daily check ins, I’ll keep you informed in a way that gives you real peace of mind. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I’m a remote worker, which means I can spend the full day with your pet and provide consistent companionship and supervision. I work flexibly, so I’m able to adapt my schedule to fit your pet’s specific routine and needs. If you’re looking for full day sitting, I’m happy to work from your home to ensure your pet has company throughout the day. For drop ins, I’m available before work, during my lunch break, or after 5pm, and I can tailor the length of visits to suit you. For the comfort and wellbeing of all pets involved, I provide care in your home, as I have a cat of my own. I find that most pets feel more relaxed and secure staying in their familiar environment, surrounded by their usual scents, routines, and comforts. I treat every home with the utmost respect and responsibility. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and house rules, and I make sure doors, windows, and outdoor areas are always secure. Cleanliness is very important to me, whether that’s refreshing water bowls, keeping feeding areas tidy, or maintaining spotless litter boxes. My priority is creating a calm, safe, and stress free environment where your pet feels completely comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly misses having a pet of my own. I grew up with animals — my first dog was a rescue, and my second was a Shih Tzu. Having pets around has always felt natural to me, and while I’m waiting until I’m more settled in my 20s before committing to one of my own, pet sitting is the perfect way for me to share that love and care in the meantime. I work flexible times and from home which is in the city centre on Mon, Thurs and Fri. On weekdays I finish work at 5:30pm and I’m free all weekends. When caring for a pet in their own home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and secure. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding times, portion sizes, exercise, and any behavioural preferences.

I honestly couldn’t have made a better choice than choosing Susanna as my pet sitter. From the very first moment, I felt I could trust her completely and I was right. She’s not only amazing with animals, she’s genuinely a beautiful soul. You can see how much she truly cares. My cat was super relaxed the whole time I was away, and that says everything. Usually when I come back from a trip, she’s a bit stressed and act weird for few days. This time it was completely different. She was calm, happy, and totally herself. Susanna went above and beyond her duties. She didn’t just check in on my cat she really took care of her, with so much attention, love, and respect. I even had the chance to see them interact, and I was honestly surprised (in the best way). My cat absolutely adores her. I don’t think I will ever change pet sitter again. The care and dedication she showed went far beyond my expectations. I truly couldn’t have asked for anything better. Highly, highly recommended. Thank you my dear from me, my partner and my little baby Mya.
Solveig as always is the very best of pet sitters I have ever encountered! She takes such good care of Eros and is very easy and efficient to communicate with. If you have the chance to book with Solveig, absolutely do and you will have the most stress free vacation!
Imagine looked after my cat whilst I was away for a few days and was amazing. She offered a free meet and greet and took very good care of my cat, including feeding, litter tray and play and provided me with frequent updates and photos giving me that piece of mind that he was okay whilst I was away. Would highly recommend
Joanna was recommended by a friend, and we're so so glad we booked her. We were away for 3 weeks and usually rely on friends but thought 3 weeks was a long time. Joanna is absolutely brill, we have a very nervous senior rescue cat and when Joanna first came to meet us (and bella) we gave a lot of back story into bella being aloof and anxious but little did we know theyd be best buds within only a couple of days! The rover updates became a regular highlight, and I appreciated joanna messaging when bella had a couple of voms. We just need to book another holiday now so bella can see joanna again!
They were amazing sitters with our little ones, went above and beyond to make them feel as comfortable as possible, will definitely recomed them for any owner who is anxious about leaving their pets alone, wonderful communication and lots of updates, they also knew how to give my dog his medication properly and calm down his anxiety. My dog loved them so much which is surprising as he is usually very grumpy with new people. My cat was so content and happy in their company. 10/10 sitters, we will contact them again for future trips for sure :)
Nadine was really great looking after my sensitive cat, Baby, last week! She persevered and was really patient trying to make her feel comfortable. The flat was kept really clean, litter tidied, and it made such a difference when i got home after a week. My cat, usually gets sad and unsettled when left (there are signs), but she was really content when i returned even though someone new had been looking after her. Nadine did two meet and greets initially so Baby could get a feel for her before i left which i really appreciated. Nadine is clearly good with cats and is an animal lover. I felt comfortable with Nadine and would definitely book her again.
Francesca provided daily visits for our cat Bixby during the holidays. She was punctual, professional, and took excellent care of him, feeding, cleaning, and, most importantly, giving him playtime and attention. We loved receiving her updates and photos! It's clear she genuinely cares for animals. We felt completely at ease knowing Bixby was in her hands. And she very kindly watered our plants also! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much to Elizabeth for taking care of Fleefer while we were away for Christmas. Elizabeth was amazing with Fleefer from day 1 and really got along well with her. The daily updates were amazing and we could really see how comfortable Fleefer was with Elizabeth, and I think she looked forward to every drop in visit! Elizabeth is very trustworthy and we would absolutely like her to come and take care of Fleefer again when we are away in future. Thank you!
Maryana was great, kept us updated when she dropped in to visit our cats and provided us with plenty of photos to keep at minds at peace knowing they were being looked after whilst we were away. Really good communication and prompt replies which was excellent.
Hayley has been such a lifesaver over the christmas period! accepted my booking the day before i needed her and was communicative the whole way through! definitely put my mind at ease to know someone was actually caring for them and not just dropping in and out, would highly recommend!!
Safa and her husband took such good care of my cat, Khaleesi, while I was away! I felt completely at ease, knew she was being looked after perfectly, and the communication was fantastic throughout my trip away. I received lots of photos and video updates, and I could see Khaleesi loved the company so much! She followed them right to the door before they left which only goes to show how well she got on with them! Thanks again🥰
