“Odie can sometimes be touch and go depending on who he stays with. He seemed totally calm and happy in the many updates that Ella sent us as well as when we got home. Would highly recommend - thanks Ella!”

“So good to be able to go away for a weekend, knowing my girls will be happy, safe and well cared for with Zuzanna. The house is left tidy. All round we are delighted with her services.”

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
“Ashika was great with our dog. Was a bit nervous leaving her with someone new but ashika made sure she took her time so she could get used to a new person in the house. Lots of updates throughout the day and followed our instructions. Will use again”

About: The reason i am a pet sitter is because I love getting to know and looking after all animals of many shapes and sizes. This is my only job and I have been looking after my mums and friends dogs and cats for years but have only been doing this professionally for a year. I am available 6 days of the week but wednesday. I have always gotten along and connected deeply with animals, even when just meeting them. I dont have any issues I've your pet is hyperactive, shy, not vaccinated, or not spayed, but I would like prior notice. You'll be glad to know i have never had to deal with an emergency situation but on the off chance i will collect your vettinary service and pet insurance if applicable. When it comes to anxious pets i will let them come to me in their own time and ofcourse let them do the sniff test first. If you are considering me for looking after your fur baby in my home, please note, my partner likes to come with me and pet sit beside me and if you are not comfortable with that please let me know. I live with my partner in a flat and we have two kittens who are shy to begin with but very welcoming to new animals. I can't wait to meet your gorgeous fluff babies, I would be very happy to hear from you and to be considered to treat, play, and look after your pets. This is my current job so I have plenty of availability and time to play with your dogs and cats. I am available for all the pet care you need. I have a spacious and open living/dining room and my bedroom door is always open when boarding for pets, I work with my partner as its always good to have extra support if needed. If your pet needs crating, I dont provide that in my home and cannot do this, if I am looking after your pet in your home I am able to follow your pets routine, whatever it may entail.

About: I have taken care of many dogs and other animals , however I don't think my lab when I was a kid counts. 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 8 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 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. 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 .
“Wow what a find Christine was! Was great before we went and absolutely fantastic while we were away. Sending daily update’s, be it a photo or video at least once a day. We were a little nervous to leave our fur babies as it’s the first time we have left them with anyone apart from our immediate family but wow would recommend Christine to anyone that needs your fur babies to be looked after in their own home. 5 stars 🌟 all the way.”


“Luke came to meet us and our dogs Bear and Aura before our agreed date. He kept in contact with us and was punctual and polite. Made us feel at ease knowing he was there and although for a short stay the dogs were looked after. I would recommend Luke as Bear is a fussy dog but accepted Luke which is a thumbs up. Would use again in the future.”

“Eve is a nice young lady compassionate and kind. Rocket looked happy healthy and well hydrated after her stay with Rocket. She went beyond and collected our parcels and post. Thank you Eve 🤩”

About: I have about 5 years experience looking after my mother in-laws dog. He is a cross between a labrador and a husky, he was rescued from the streets of Romania, at 4 months old. I feed him, give him treats, I change his water, take him out for walks & I play with him. At the moment I'm available immediately to come & look after your furbabies, whether it's a visit or pet sitting overnight. I'm really looking forward to sharing my love for them all. I will only be able to visit your home, as I have 3 cats of my own. This way I can pay them more attention in your own home, or take them for walks if this is their normal routine.
“Isabelle was fantastic, she moved her world to take care of Daisy following an unfortunate situation that meant I had to go to hospital following an accident the night before. Isabelle and Daisy became great friends too in such a short space of time, I had to stop her getting into the car as Isabelle was leaving, all things considered it was a successful first meeting, and we are all looking forward to our next encounter.. 😂😂 seriously a lovely person with a great kindest for animals, it's the second experience on Rover and both have been truly satisfying. Keep up the good work you dog lovers 🥇”

“What a wonderful experience! Martina could not have taken better care of Twix & sent some many pictures & updates on her stay. We would not hesitate to welcome her into our home again.”

About: I am a family dog lover with hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have my own dog and understand routines, boundaries and reassurance. I offer calm, reliable care, regular walks, feeding, playtime and plenty of affection. I treat every dog as part of the family and always follow your instructions so your pet feels safe, settled and well cared for. Dog care fits easily around my routine. I work flexibly, so I am available morning, afternoon and evening for walks, feeding, play and company. I am used to sticking to routines and can follow your dog’s usual schedule, including exercise needs, medication and downtime. I am available on weekdays and weekends and can be flexible where needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. My home is calm, clean and dog friendly, with clear boundaries and supervision. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks and rest time. I am confident managing different temperaments and will separate dogs if needed. I can also care for dogs in their own home, keeping things familiar and low stress. I keep owners updated so you feel reassured while you are away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine lifelong love and experience with animals. I grew up with five cats and a Springer Spaniel–Jack Russell cross called Eddie, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. My boyfriend and I also regularly take care of our friends’ two dogs — one small and one medium-sized — so I’m used to handling different sizes, temperaments, and routines. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after while their owners are away. I’ve always dreamed of having my own pet day care, surrounded by lots of happy animals every day. Caring for pets is something that truly brings me joy — it’s not just a job, it’s something I love doing. Whether I’m walking dogs, playing with kittens, or just keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always treat them like my own. Me an my boyfriend work part time so we have some availability for house sitting and pet care. We can easily fit in walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day and we make sure they have company, comfort, and attention. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I always follow their normal routine — including feeding times, walks, play, and any special care instructions. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. When pets stay with me, they have access to a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, as well as several nearby parks for walks and play. I’m around throughout the day to keep them company and make sure they get the care and attention they need. I live with my boyfriend who also has a Rover account and is experienced in pet care. I also have a basic DBS.
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with pets, but my real hands-on experience began when I rescued my Spanish Greyhound, Luna, in 2020. She came from a difficult start. Found on the streets and never having lived in a home, so building her confidence, routine, and trust has been an incredibly rewarding journey. She’s now a happy, well-adjusted dog and a huge part of my life. Through caring for Luna, I’ve developed a strong understanding of patience, consistency, and reading a dog’s behaviour, especially with more sensitive or nervous dogs. While I’m at the beginning of offering pet care professionally, I regularly look after pets for friends and family, and I genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. It’s not just about walks or feeding, it’s about trust, routine, and making sure they feel safe and happy. That’s exactly what I aim to provide. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, I’m here to give you peace of mind and your pet the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I currently work full time so the majority of my availability would be in the evenings during the week, I also have availability all day over weekends. I have a fenced garden and have my own dog that is very sociable with others to keep them company on walks. I’m also happy to visit your home and spend time with your animal in their own environment as I know not all dogs are comfortable in new places.

Wow what a find Christine was! Was great before we went and absolutely fantastic while we were away. Sending daily update’s, be it a photo or video at least once a day. We were a little nervous to leave our fur babies as it’s the first time we have left them with anyone apart from our immediate family but wow would recommend Christine to anyone that needs your fur babies to be looked after in their own home. 5 stars 🌟 all the way.

Millie looked after our pets really well whilst we were away. It was the first time we’d left them with anyone other than family and she was amazing even with our youngest who can try to wrap you round his little paw at times. They obviously adored her and she treated them as though they were her own. She provided daily feedback and pictures which was lovely to see. Would definitely use again in the future.

Louisa was fantastic with Paco , taking him for regular walks , daily photos so I could see he was ok , she really became part of the family I would say if you want someone to look after your pet while you are away Louisa is your best person to turn to , totally amazing

I honestly can't recommend Zak highly enough. Although Bennie (staffy rotty cross) is a big softy at heart, he can be a boisterous handful - he's still very young and loves to play. Zak made an effort to meet Bennie beforehand and understand all of his needs, he was incredibly attentive and Bennie adores him. Zak looked after Bennie in our home and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with him, he sent photos letting us know Bennie was having as good a time as we were. Zak was the perfect house guest and I'm so pleased we've found someone trustworthy and genuine who Bennie felt right at home with...I don't think he missed us at all :) Thanks again Zak

Danielle came across very professionally throughout, she was quick to respond and took the time to come over and meet us and our dogs before the booking. On the day she arrived on time, and took into account all our instructions. Our dogs were very happy with her and well looked after!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Reece dog sit over the weekend! He was wonderful with Stan, who can be a bit difficult with new people, but they got on straight away and it really put our minds at ease knowing we left him in such great hands. The house was left spotless and we will definitely be using him to look after Stan again :)
