“We have been using Aimee for a couple of weeks now, and she’s been nothing short of amazing with our two little babies! Keeps us updated with pics and gives us a little message on how their day went. Very thorough with what dates she can do, and lets us know well in advance days she can’t do. Thank you so much Aimee for looking after our little ones.”

“Ieva stopped by for another bonding session with our "difficult" Rommie rescue Toni. She is wonderfully patient with him and understands his reactive behaviour is him being a terrified old boy because of his troubled history. She takes the time to learn his boundaries and is very good at asserting her boundaries too. Toni was even offering his paw and listening to her recall commands, and this was just the 2nd session of bonding. Long may this continue up until and beyond our vacation in June, where Ieva has provisionally agreed to house sit Toni and his cat sister Zora.”

“Ying-ying did an amazing job caring for our cats while we were away. She was attentive and reliable. We came home to happy, relaxed cats. Highly recommend! We will be booking her again!”

About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was young, I also had my own staffy when I was 8 years old, he unfortunately passed away at the age of 13. I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes including but not limited to husky’s, chihuahuas and spaniels🐶. I have a huge love for dogs. I can teach basic commands, I also drive so can do appointment drop offs and pickups too🚗 I’m currently working part time, I’m available everyday from 11:30am and Wednesdays from 10am so will have plenty of time to look after your furry friends 🐾 I have a fenced front and back garden and a quality camera on the front of the house to keep your dogs safe. They will have free roam of the downstairs of the house and will only ever be left for an hour tops. If needed I will be there through the entirety of their stay.

About: I’m a qualified veterinarian from Newport with a degree in Veterinary Medicine and a lifelong love for animals. I provide reliable, caring pet sitting and dog walking, giving every pet plenty of attention, affection, and safe care. I’m also very active and enjoy exercise, so I love taking dogs on long, fun walks tailored to their energy and needs. I am currently waiting to start a new job in September and therefore am free full time to take care of your pets, drop me a text for more info. Able to care for pets at your home or provide walking services. I will consider sitting for pets at my own home also, I have a fenced garden which is secure and have no other pets at home.
“Mel is absolutely excellent with our Cat Monty! He is always well cared for and Mel sends wonderful updates throughout her visits so we are always up to date with how our boy is without us! When we get home it is always clear to see that he has been very happy with Mel looking after him and we will always re-book Mel when we can! Thank you Mel for being great! 😊”


About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and will always follow your care instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, toilet breaks, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. Because I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and provide regular attention and care. As an experienced dog owner and former cat owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet's routine, and treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets.
“Claudia was lovely l. She answered any questions I had and replied quickly to my messages. She sent regular photos and updates when visiting. My cat loved her. I would definitely use her again and would recommend. Thanks Claudia !”

“Hannah made us feel so reassured our cat was safe and in good hands a followed our fussy food instructions perfectly. Our cat is normally timid around new people but took a liking to Hannah straight away and we know this because she only ‘boops’ strangers hands with her nose for scritches when she likes and trusts you. Hannah kept us updated with photos and videos and we could tell from our cats behaviour she was happy to see Hannah. We would highly recommend Hannah and will continue to book her in future.”

“Our cat sitter was lovely with my three cats—Thor, Athena, and Luna. Thor warmed up to her straight away, and she was so gentle and patient with the others too. You can really tell she loves animals and takes her time to make them feel safe. I feel so confident leaving them in her care. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old and have always known how much I loved animals, which is why I’m now a registered veterinary nurse. I treat every animal as if they are my own and I know the stress and worry it can cause having someone else looking after your pets, so I’m here to make that experience much easier. I have experience with training young and old pets and my qualification has solidified that even more. I also have experience and knowledge when it comes to caring for older pets or those with more complex needs. I work 4 days a week and have Saturday-Mondays off so will be able to longer visits/walks on these days. I can also pop in for a visit in the morning before and evenings after work. Whether I’m looking after your pet(s) in my own home or yours, they will be treated like my own with nothing but love and comfort.
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since the age of 7, I’ve always been an animal lover. I regularly take care of relatives and friends pets and have been trusted to do so from about the age of 10. I am so happy to have discovered this app, nothing makes me happier than spending time with animals and being out in nature, I find it very beneficial for my mental health. I currently have a very free and flexible schedule since finishing uni, so plenty of time to play, walk and take care of some doggos! I’ve had experience with all different breeds and sized dogs. I consider my dogs to be members of my family, so I would always treat other people’s pets as I would my own and shower them with love and attention.
“Highly recommended pet sitter. Steve was fav throughout the time we were away. Mimi was as comfortable with Steve as she is with us. Definitely will expect Steve to help with any of our future pet sitting needs.”

About: I have always loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. Myself and my husband share a love of all dogs and can't resist making a fuss of them! We have looked after others dogs for long periods and welcomed them into our home wanting them to feel loved and comfortable whilst away from their families. My experience is mainly with small/medium breeds and have two Chihuahuas myself now who are loving and friendly dogs. My youngest dog Olive is only a year old so have recent puppy experience, and my eldest dog Lola is 11 so I also have experience with more senior dogs. I am experienced at medication administration as this is something I do daily for Lola, and have experience doing this for dogs in my care also. We want any furry friend staying with us to feel relaxed, comfortable and like they are at a home-from-home whilst their humans are away. We know the importance of being able to relax and trust someone else with your companion whilst you are away and love being able to offer that to others whilst they enjoy holidays or weekends away. I currently work in a flexible role where I work from home the majority of the time. This allows me to spend time with dogs whilst working and breaks usually consist of walks around the neighbourhood and out in the garden (in the nicer weather). We are mainly available for long weekend (Fri-Mon) boarding, however with some notice we can accommodate longer boarding. We have a secure home with a front gate and fully secure enclosed back garden which is small but ideal for smaller/medium dogs to stretch their legs and bask in the sun during the warmer months. Dogs will have free roam of the downstairs area and we are happy to accommodate their routines and quirks as much as possible whilst you are away. Our youngest dog is only 1 so we live in a 'puppy proofed' environment. Having small breed dogs I am very protective and aware of extra care with safety and security so your dog can relax in our home with peace of mind that they are safe. We have a child-free home and our dogs are the centre of our world so we understand that your dog is not just a pet but a family member and would treat them as we would our own.
Newport pet owners share their Rover experiences
After our previous pet minding arrangement had fallen through, Anna was luckily available at short notice. We hadn’t used this kind of service before but we instantly felt at ease, Anna is very sweet and friendly and took time to get to know our 12 year old cat, Simmy. We got regular updates and pictures and felt so much more comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We would definitely book with Ana again! Thank you so much Ana! :)

Thank you so much to Krisztina for taking such wonderful care of my little cat, Elaf. She kept me updated after every visit with photos and messages about how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Elaf was clearly comfortable and well looked after. I will definitely be using your services again — thank you!
