“Ana is fantastic! My cat Izzy never comes down the stairs to anyone she doesn't know but Ana is the exception. I don't think my cats were happy that it was us that walked through the door instead of Ana when we got back. Highly recommend”

About: I studied animal management in college where I took care of domesticated animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. I volunteered at a stables and took care of larger animals and did my work experience at 2 vet clinics, taking care of both sick and healthy cats and dogs. I'm currently a university student in Newport so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your beloved pets. I also don't work right now so I don't need that long of a notice. I am able to provide complicated service at your home where your pet will feel the most comfortable. With a notepad and pen, I'm sure to provide excellent care.
“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.”

“Melanie was absolutely amazing and gave my cat the best and most loving care I could have hoped for! I was nervous about leaving him but Melanie made it so easy as she sent lots of photos updating me on how he was doing and posted such lovely updates with lots of detail 💓 I cannot recommend Melaine enough and will be rebooking with her when we next go away! xxx”

“Ying-Ying was brilliant at looking after our little dog Lewie! She was communicative with updates and pictures whilst we were away and she is super friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Ying-Ying again :)”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs with my family owning french bulldogs for years. I always appreciated the joy dogs bring to people’s lives. When I bought my own home, I got my first labrador puppy. The process of raising a puppy made me research and clue up on all things dog care and training related and I have been both challenged and humbled by the process of raising a high energy breed. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey and now would like to dedicate more of my time to looking after other people’s four legged friends as well. I work from home majority of the time and my schedule can be flexible to fit around the pets. I normally have best availability before 9 or after 6. I have a fenced garden which offers space to stretch legs and live just around the corner from a large park which is great for playing fetch or just running around.
“Ellicia took great care of my boy and communicated with me throughout, uploading photos even though she was only there for a 30 minute check-in. Would 100% recommend and will happily hire again :)”

About: I have 2 small Romanian rescue dogs who I couldn't love more, I have taken care of them plus family and friends dogs over the past 3 years during holidays and love getting to know them, playing, walking, teaching new tricks and then at the end of the day cuddling up with them with blankets, I'm a passionate dog owner and care about the protection of animals and want to ensure dogs can have the best life. I currently work from home full time so have rhe flexibility to have dogs in my home alongside Mt 2 furry friends, so if your dogs like to play with others and want someone who is engaged and playful then please reach out. I have a fenced garden more than 6ft high. Plus 2 small dogs myself under 10kg so they will have lots of time to play and explore whilst here.
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.
“Jess was very happy with Krisztina visiting and even waited on the drive for her. Krisztina knows her stuff about cats and I was very happy to leave Jess in her care.”

“Maria was such a great help when I needed someone to check in on my cats. I received lots of pictures from her visit and updates on how my boys are, she fed them and played with them. They can be a bit wary of new people but Maria understands that a slower approach with cats is needed sometimes and they quickly got used her. This was the first time I’ve used Maria but will definitely keep her in mind for future when needed. Highly recommended, thank you!”

About: I have had dogs all my life, but bailey was my 1st as a adult. I had him from a puppy, so trained him into the dog he became. yes he was spoilt rotten but well trained he could be taken everywhere. I also have had many years of looking after gamily and friends dogs while they go on holidays and have also helped fostered a few until a new forever home has been found. I’m currently off work caring for my mother, and since we’re home all the time, there’s no shortage of love and spoiling to go around. We recently lost Bailey very suddenly to a short illness after nearly 12 wonderful years, and it’s left us feeling heartbroken. While we know we can never replace him, we miss the sound of four little paws padding around the house. We’d love to welcome visitors to help fill that hole, as we miss all the cuddles and love he gave us. I will be the sole carer for your pet but my mother will be in the house also and may come on the odd walks during the nicer weather. Every pet that comes into our home will be treated like Bailey—part of the family. They’ll have free access to the house and garden, and can snooze on sofas or beds wherever they’re most comfortable. Our enclosed garden and CCTV ensure no one comes or goes unnoticed, and a baby gate at the front door prevents contact with postmen or other visitors. I also have my own insurance cover for extra peace of mind while your little one is with me. I also have a Basic DBS certificate.
“Lianne replied to my advert immediately, we organised a “meet and greet”. As soon as I met her I knew we were in safe hands. It was a huge relief to find someone kind, caring and trustworthy. Lianne sent me photos and a video of Lulu who looked happy as Larry. Would definitely use again if she is free and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Your dog will be well cared for. Thank you. Emma/Matt and Lulu”
“Hannah was a brilliant sitter for Pasha, she was great before we went coming to meet him and then updates every time she visited. 100% would recommend and yes again! Pasha seems like a different cat since we got back!”
“Huge thanks to Steve for taking such great care of our puppy, Rolex. When we got home, Rolex was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. Steve was calm, attentive, and provided truly top-class care. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

About: I’ve looked after many dogs for friends and family, including my parents’ German Shepherd, working Cocker Spaniel, and Jack Russell. I have experience with both small and large breeds and enjoy adapting to each dog’s needs — from energetic playtime to gentle care for older pups. I can’t have my own dog at the moment because I sometimes travel for work, so caring for other people’s pets is something I genuinely love and take seriously. I work Monday to Friday so my main availability is evenings and weekends. This depends on the week though. Sometimes I may be available. On weekends I can take dogs on longer more interesting walks! I live right next to Glebelands Park in Newport, which is my go-to spot for daily walks — I usually take dogs there in the morning and evening. There’s also Turner Street Park nearby, plus a large grassy area right outside my flat for quick playtime or bathroom breaks. My car has a spacious boot, so on weekends I love taking dogs on longer, more exciting adventures to different parks and trails.

Newport pet owners share their Rover experiences
Dominika is fantastic, she is very attentive and knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure your pets are very well looked after. Dominika looked after my two cats and uploaded lots of photos to reassure me they were in good hands. My boys took to her instantly and were very grateful to have her look after them, as was I. Thanks so much Dominika, I look forward to being able to book you again soon :)

Melanie was amazing. Took such good care of our two mogs and sent the most heart warming updates. She really made our trip away worry free, they were in such good hands and I am already trying to rebook with her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Thoughtful, kind and very nurturing of our fur babies. Melanie was fantastic.

Huge thanks to Steve for taking such great care of our puppy, Rolex. When we got home, Rolex was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. Steve was calm, attentive, and provided truly top-class care. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

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!

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.

Beth was brilliant with my cat, Emily, from a pre-visit to morning drop-ins. I was kept well informed and sent lots of photos while I was on holiday. Emily really appreciated the fuss! Beth also fed the fish as a last minute request. I would definitely ask her to look after Emily again.
