“Thank you so much to Courtney for checking in on my two girls (cats) while I was celebrating my nephew’s 10th wedding anniversary in Rhodes. The cats seem very happy and healthy on my return. Thanks again for everything and putting my mind at rest that they were being looked after (even if you didn’t see much of them!)”
About: Hi! We’re Leon and Natassha, a pet-loving couple with a passion for caring for animals. We know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and we’re committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment where your pets can feel happy and at home. 🐶🐱 We’re both currently on vacation in the UK for the next two months, so we have a very flexible schedule with no work commitments. This allows us to offer 24/7 care, including overnight stays and house sitting. We’re fully available to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day and night. We care for pets in their own homes as if they were our own, making sure they stay in a familiar, safe, and stress-free environment while receiving plenty of love, attention, and respect. We follow their usual routines closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so everything feels consistent and comforting for them. Natassha loves taking photos, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away.
“Rob was fantastic! After a last minute request, Rob came round the same day to perform a meet and greet at such short notice and having been at work the full day! We were so grateful that he agreed to take care of Maverick for an hour the following day! We received some beautiful photos of Maverick during the visit and were kept well informed… it looks like Mav had a great time and trusts Rob already! We will definitely be using your services again Rob, thank you ☺️”
About: I am a huge animal lover and have owned my own dogs all of my adult life. I grew up with dogs in our family too and always enjoyed helping to look after and walk them from a young age. I have walked and looked after dogs professionally for the last 3 years but have also looked after friends and neighbours dogs for many years as well. I can be flexible with dog walks and dog sitting services. I can provide drop in visits to your home and I can provide sitting services for dogs in mine. I can also do drop in services for cats, rabbits and other small animals. I have a safe, fenced garden to look after your precious pooches! My home backs on to country side which is ideal for lovely walks.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and other animals over the years since i was 16. I have a terrier mix who is reactive I have helped care for since she was 6 months old, she is now 9. A rescue and my beloved baby. I also recently had my family buy a German Shepard who is currently 10 months old, and consistently help to keep her entertained, many fun walks alongside my Terrier mix and overall just have had the great experience of watching her grow into her personality! I also have a cat who has lived with me for the past 2 years and my sister recently got rats which I also help care for. Back in April 2026 I looked after my uncle's three schnauzer's, one of which was a diabetic and needed insulin ever meal, and also 2 needed medication every day also , so if you have dogs with health needs I am more then able to accommodate that ! And at the end of May 2026, I looked after my aunts dogs, a cockapoo and a crazy but lovable cocker spaniel. Many walks with those two spent mostly getting soaked and throwing a very wet ball. I can work with dog walking any dog of any size, having grown up walking dogs of all sizes all my life. I know about medical routines any dogs may need and can stick to them. Also with dog walking i know how to tire a dog out so they are happy without it being a stressful experience for them. I have no work currently, and if I do get work it'll be part time! Looking after pets is something I really enjoy , and I believe any and all pets should be able to get the care they deserve ! Currently I have no other obligations, so I am free to come look after your pets whenever you need. I am DBS checked and have insurance ! Also have basic pet first aid knowledge and i' on a course for pet sitting and dog walking. Keep to routines the pets know! It can be confusing for a pet to have someone they don't fully know coming out look after them so I know sticking to the routines they are use too is a big way to help them feel more comfortable and safe. Same with if a pet has any medical issues and such, I would stick to routines with that too so they get what they need daily. Ensuring I have my eye on them when walking or if they out in a garden to make sure their safe is something else I ensure I do .
About: I grew up around dogs and have extensive experience caring for them. I regularly look after dogs for family members when they're away on holiday, so I'm comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and routines. As I work from home three days a week, I have the flexibility to check in on your pup throughout the day, whether they need care, company, or a walk in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Being a dog owner myself, I understand the love, attention, and care our dogs deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and it would be a pleasure to care for your pup while giving you peace of mind that they're in safe and caring hands.
About: I’ve had dogs and pets in my life since a child. I have two dogs myself that are 7 and 8 years old. I have helped family and friends with dog walking, feeding and boarding I currently do not work so I will have plenty of time during the week to pet sit, walk, feed and play with your pets I have a fenced off garden that your dogs can run around freely in. I’m happy to crate them at mine if this is what you prefer or happy for them to have a dog bed or sleep on the sofa
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old and have experience with hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and cats. I grew up with two Yorkshire Terriers, including one that needed regular medication and wound care due to skin allergies, and another who is now blind, teaching me the importance of patience and understanding a dog’s needs. I also care for my two rescue cats every day and am comfortable around both small and large dogs. I’m currently studying for my Level 2 Animal Care and Welfare qualification while working towards starting my own pet care business. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to provide safe, loving, and reliable care. Family and friends trust me with all their animals and often say it’s what I was born to do. I’m currently a part time worker usually morning shifts 5-9/10 so I have plenty of time in the day Thursday-Monday to look after pets. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am fully available. My messages are open for discussion. I prefer to visit dogs and cats in their own homes. I’m really looking for dog walking experience. I’m happy to offer a variety of services whilst at visits including simple pet grooming, litter tray cleaning, bringing in bins or post, playing with pets as well as cleaning garden. More on my services available please message me<3
“Gosia looked after our 2 cats very well. We received photos and daily updates from her. Our cats seem to love her too. She did a great job and we will happily come back to her. ”
About: Hi, my name is Joshua and I have a great affection for all dogs that I have had the pleasure of meeting or owning. During my childhood, I had the pleasure of caring for a rottweiler, golden retriever, Shih Tzu, and pug whom I adored deeply. It was heartbreaking when I had to leave them behind when I moved to the UK. Over time I have gained vast experience in various dog-related services such as caring for pets, taking them on long or short walks, providing shelter, and to some degree, training as well. Additionally, I am proficient in administering medication to dogs of different ages and breeds. Do you have any particular requirements for your dogs? You need not hesitate to let me know. I am more than happy to welcome your pets onto my bed and couch but if you prefer otherwise, I respect your wishes. I guarantee that your pet's water bowl will always be full, and their overall health and happiness will be my top priority. I am currently working a part-time job, so I will have plenty of attention and time to give to your dog(s). I am available for boarding on weekdays and walks every day. Just let me know when you'd love me to meet your dog! I have a fenced yard in my apartment and also plenty of space in the house for your dog to play around but also just enough to keep an eye on, as your dog's safety is very important to me.
“Polly was great! very responsive on messages and our cat is very happy with her visits, will definitely be reaching out to polly for any future cat visit needs. Greatly appreciate it!”
About: I have a devoted separate double room in my house where animals can feel safe before they are ready to join the household (see pictures). I know rover prices can seem pretty high sometimes, feel free to message me if you want to negotiate . I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, chickens, ducks, goats, horses, fish, reptiles, amphibians, parrots, birds of prey and some exotic animals. I personally own two dogs, one cat, and two snakes, and I occasionally foster rescued animals. I’m confident handling different routines and temperaments, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work a regular 9–5 schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care for pets before and after work. I’m available for morning and evening walks, feeding, medication, and general care, ensuring pets stick to their normal routines. I’m attentive and reliable, and I plan my day around the animals’ needs so they feel comfortable, settled, and well looked after at all times. My garden is fenced. I have large living room and dining room,plenty of space for dogs to play. When I care for pets they spend time with my family and my dog. They never feel lonley
About: Over 5 years experience in dog and cat care. I understand the love and care animals require when their paw’rents go on their holidays ❤️ I take care in providing a service to ensure your fur babies are comfortable and more importantly loved whilst you are away. *please note, I work in a school so my availability is dependant on school holidays ONLY with occasional weekends (please request) I work full time Mon - Fri 7am - 4:30 but I work at home on Tuesdays and Fridays. During my days in the office I can pop over on lunch breaks to let the dogs out. N/A. I live in a flat where I have to request pet care so this will not be an option for me to provide unfortunately.
About: As a dedicated pet lover and proud owner of a lively Maltese named Luca, I understand the joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. Since welcoming Luca, I’ve discovered the true happiness animals add to my day-to-day life, and I often find myself connecting more with pets than people. Caring for Luca has taught me patience, understanding, and the importance of nurturing a pet's unique personality and needs. This deep connection drives my motivation to become a pet sitter, where I can extend the same level of love and care to other pets as I do with my own. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. With me, your pets will not only be in trusted hands but will feel like they are a part of my own family. Pet care is woven seamlessly into my week, making it just as essential (and enjoyable) as my morning coffee! Working from home means Luca is my little “coworker” most days, keeping me company and reminding me to take breaks (which usually means playtime or cuddles). Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my "away days," but I've made sure those are full of extra treats, comfy spots, and toys for Luca to enjoy while I'm onsite. On all other days, I’m here to provide all the attention he could want, from belly rubs to outdoor adventures. For other pets I’d be caring for, I bring the same level of attention and love. I work around their schedules, whether it’s feeding time, walks, or just time to snuggle. My daily routine with pets is as fun and flexible as they need, with Luca as the best assistant anyone could ask for! Living in a cozy one-bedroom home with a fenced garden gives me a perfect setup for pet care! The garden is a safe spot where pets can roam freely and explore without any worry. I love that there are parks nearby, so daily walks and a change of scenery are always on the agenda—great for stretching legs and sniffing new scents. Inside, I make the space as welcoming as possible with comfy spots to lounge, plenty of toys, and some tasty treats for rewards or just to brighten their day. With Luca’s stash of toys and our little routines, pets here can enjoy a mix of indoor comfort and outdoor fun, all with a loving companion to keep them company. Whether they’re looking for playtime or just a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home!
About: Hey, I’ve owned pets all my life, grew up with dogs and have owned my own dogs for 5 years from a puppy. I recently rescued a young dog called Nemo, who has issues with her mobility due to a club foot. I’d love to run a doggy day care full time in the future so I’m taking the first steps towards that goal opening my home out to others. I work from home so I’m available to look after dogs throughout the day, my job involves occasional travel but I will know about this in advance, should it be a problem. I am a single mum, with a young boy called Rory. I share custody of him with his Dad so my availability varies depending on where he is. He loves dogs, and is great with them, however a toddler, my two dogs and any additional would be a bit much for me! My dogs Archer and Nemo are friendly, they absolutely love the company of other dogs and they’re always been happy to share their home when we have looked after relatives animals before. Depending on times of drop off/pick up I’m happy to take the dogs on walks along with their normal daily walks, they would love it! I currently work from home, with a small amount of travel required, which I know about in advance and can arrange pet care around this. We have an enclosed garden, stone fences all around. There is a separate dog room, to ensure maximum safety (nothing gets left lying around in there!) I work from home, so, I am on hand to let them out to play/use the toilet, and play with them as well.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since my childhood. I’ve had many pets of all ages, adapting care to meet each of their needs attentively ! I can work from home so I am pretty much free and available any time on any day. I work until 4 on weekdays only with a lot of flexibility to provide all the care I need to. It’s not a barrier in caring for your pets at all, so I'm here should you need 24/7 care too. I care for pets safely in their own home, following routines closely to build trust and ensure a comfortable, secure comfort while respecting owners’ instructions
About: Growing up I’ve always been around dogs, from little chihuahua‘s to Great Danes. I frequently dog sit my grandparents yorkie when they go away, and shes old and a little reactive. I can confidently say I can care for any size dog, however if your pup is on the larger side and has reactivity issues Im not the sitter for you as I don’t have the experience or knowledge to safely care for your pup. That’s not to say big dogs are a complete no! As long as they’re friendly I’ll be happy to meet a few fur friend of any size I currently work Friday mornings part time, so plenty of time for your pets needs. Im flexible with how long I can spend with your pet, wether they need to be with me 24/7 (there is an option for them to be able to come to work with me, however it involves a lot of car travel. Please feel free to ask more about this!) or just need some company for an hour whilst your busy I currently have one cat, and shes very low maintenance. I get most of my experience from pet sitting for family members or volunteer work at shelters. I currently am able to pet sit in your own home and drop-ins for any animal, as well as solo walks for dogs (group walks can be discussed if the dogs know each other well or live together!) Your pet will be played with and loved, and above all, cared for

Lisa has looked after our dog Margot on several occasions - dropping in to see her when we have been out for long periods. This has sometimes been at short notice, which has been much appreciated. Lisa gives great updates, lots of notes and pictures and communication is always quick and easy. Margot loves Lisa and always has a great time. Would highly recommend Lisa to anyone!
This was my first experience with a pet sitter and I was anxious to leave my pets. Adrienne was amazing since the start she tried to understand their needs and how we would make Boston get used to her. She communicates super well and seriously has put my mind at ease. My pets absolutely loved her. She was gentle, patient, and made my dog feel totally comfortable during my time away. It’s such a relief knowing my pets are happy and relaxed while I’m away. Highly recommend — the whole experience has been smooth, caring, and stress-free. I will definitely book again with Adrienne Thank you so much for all the support to my pets I am forever grateful
Caitlin come to provide company for Albie as he has separation anxiety and struggled to be left alone for any length of time. Albie really seemed to enjoy the time spent with Caitlin, which helped him to relax in the house while I was out. Caitlin was so nice, very professional, reliable and super punctual. I would definitely recommend.
Rob was fantastic! After a last minute request, Rob came round the same day to perform a meet and greet at such short notice and having been at work the full day! We were so grateful that he agreed to take care of Maverick for an hour the following day!
