“Patricia is a very kind, responsible and caring sitter that my rescue dog loved her. She responded my messages quickly and shared photos and videos while I was away. I appreciate her communication and gentle approach. She is a real dog friend, and a great person. I highly recommend her 🩷🫶 Thank you for looking after my dog as if she were your own. It really means a lot to me. 💐”
“Paul had our dog for 1 week, Paul was absolutely amazing. Very professional & Kept us updated daily and send brilliant pics. Highly recommend! Thanks again Paul I will definitely be rebooking :):)”
“Basil had a great time with Nicola. We met a few days before the booking just so Basil could be introduced to Nicola first. This certainly helped him settle in. He enjoyed his walks in the park and I got a couple of updates throughout the week. Would thoroughly recommend Nicola if anyone is looking to leave their dog with someone. Brilliant.”
About: I have been pet sitting for quite some time now and have experience sitting for an array of breeds and dogs of differing ages right from the puppy stage all the way to more elderly dogs requiring a slower and more relaxed pace. I have also pet sat for dogs of differing sizes and breeds and can provide longer walks for more high energy, younger dogs. I have grown up with pets all my life, having owned miniature schnauzers since the age of ten. I absolutely adore them and can assist in caring for any range of age of dogs from young puppies to elderly, both through the experience of owning my own pets and the other dogs that I have cared for. My experience in sitting for others ranges from a lively cocker spaniel puppy recently to an elderly shih tzu and I would love to leave others with a peace of mind that their pet is being well cared for in their absence. I can also teach some tricks, such as roll over and paw depending on how cooperative your pup is :) (My mini schnauzer took some convincing and lots of treats 🤣) When I am not required to be in the office or travel for work (i would mark myself as unavailable/not accept bookings in these cases) I have great flexibility and can work from home so I would be able to accompany your pet all day and take them out for multiple walks throughout the day, they would not need to be alone for stretches of time over an hour or so, and even then I can adjust my schedule to ensure any anxious pets that need more company are not left alone and I am with them. I enjoy long walks daily so your pet would be well cared for and well walked. I have a large outdoor balcony with a high and contained fence but also I live beside large green spaces more importantly with great areas to walk the pets. I am also located beside Victoria Park for long walks and fresh air. My apartment is well locked up and no easy access at all for pets to get out onto the street as it is on the third floor and doors and windows can all be easily secured. It is also not overly cluttered and there is very little in terms of hazards, Overall I would be a available to stay in the home of the pet if you would prefer that and am willing to travel within London to accommodate this.
“Anabela was absolutely amazing with Douglas, she was so patient with him and the updates on Douglas every single day along with photos made me feel more relaxed knowing he was having the best time with her & her family! I would definitely recommend Anabela. Couldn’t thank her enough for looking after Douglas x”
“Danielle allowed me to feel very at ease leaving my 16 year old sheepdog with her. We met first and I was impressed by her knowledge and comfort with my dog, but could also tell she’s a true dog lover herself, which was so reassuring. She sent lots of pics during my dog’s stay and periodic updates which I really appreciated! I’d definitely leave Sjena with her again and easily recommend her to others 👍👍”
“Winston stayed with Niall and Henrique for the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. Winston has some behavioural issues which need carefully managed and also takes medication. These were no problem for Niall and Henrique and they sent us regular pupdates of how Winston was doing. I’d highly recommend their services and will be rebooking in the future.”
“We left Boo with Elaine and her family for a second time for 4 nights just now. Once again he was really well looked after and had a great time. We received regular messages & photos and felt reassured from the very start that he was in good hands. We will definitely take Boo to stay again when we need a dog sitter. Richard”
“Agnieszka was a lifesaver! She took my dad's dog at the absolute last minute during a sudden hospital emergency. She was fantastic, providing excellent care and peace of mind during a very stressful time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Fiona is lovely and welcoming, she took our girl for 3 nights to help us get a well needed break. She kept me well updated an Phoebe seemed to settle well an feel right at home. Will definitely use Fiona in future!”
“No problems giving Charley 5 ⭐️ for her love and care for Austin on his stay. From our meet & greet we knew Austin would be happy and well looked after, giving me great peace of mind leaving him. Charley managed Austin’s daily medication and high maintenance hygiene routine perfectly. My boy was absolutely immaculate at pick up. Also to note a last minute issue lead to an extra night of care which Charley accommodated so kindly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you Charley ❤️”
About: Hi, I'm Stacie. I've worked with dogs in a variety of settings in both Ireland and Barcelona, including dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding kennels. One of the main reasons I started offering dog walking and pet sitting services is because I've seen firsthand that many dogs are much happier and more relaxed staying in a home environment. I know from experience that being cared for as an individual rather than a group and keeping their usual routine, and receiving one-to-one attention can make a huge difference to your dog's wellbeing. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including anxious, nervous dogs. I take the time to get to know each dog as an individual, building trust and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Whether your dog loves long walks, sniffing adventures, or simply needs company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same care, patience, and affection that I would my own dog Indie 🐶🐾 I'm currently very flexible and happy to work around your schedule to find what suits both you and your dog best ☺️ Having returned from Spain, where I worked with dogs, I now have plenty of availability for regular walks and pet care. Whether you're looking for daily walks at set times or more occasional support, I'd love to help and provide reliable, personalised care for your dog. Your dog's wellbeing will always be my top priority, and I'm happy to work with you to create a care plan that suits their individual needs and personality. 😁🐾
“I have been absolutely delighted by the professionalism and dedication to detail of this couple. I have a much older dog with many challenges including a lot of medication and he was looked after in my home by Sarah. Communication was amazing throughout my stay. I was given regular updates and was able to relax fully knowing my dog was in good hands. Toby really bonded with Sarah. She took him on walks, gave regular meals and medication. The couple both went above and beyond to understand Toby and my own anxieties. My home was left impeccably. Highly recommend.”
“Sonia was absolutely brilliant, she looked after my baby for a week, every day she give me updates without even asking nothing was a bother to her at all, she also had my dog spoilt rotten, I know princess will miss her, I would highly recommend Sonia to look after your pets she’s absolutely amazing.”
“Aine was absolutely amazing looking after our little puppy. Charlie had the best time ever & was pooped when he got home from all his playtime and adventures. Aine kept us updated and sent some photos to put our mind at ease. Highly recommend Aine. Thank you so much ❤️”
“Cooper thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Niall and Nelly he came home happy and content. Niall also sent me updates and pictures of cooper enjoying his time there. I would 💯 recommend 😊”
“Highly recommend Caitlin and Andrew to look after your dog. Bobby settled in very quickly and they clearly lavished him with care and attention during his stay. Great communication in sharing photos to reassure us all was well. We would definitely use Caitlin again.”
“Sharleen was really amazing! An amazing sitter, cared for Radish so much and I couldn’t have wished for a better person to care for her. Highly recommend, radish will be back !!! Xxx THANK YOU”

“Caitlin did an amazing job looking after my cat! The photos she sent were excellent, and I could see Tom was having fun during her visits. It was reassuring to know he was in good hands. Communication was clear throughout the entire process. Will definitely rebook. Highly recommend!" 👍🐱📸”
“Courtney has watched my three cats twice now and I’d definitely book her again. She gave updates and pics. The cats were well cared for and relaxed when we got back. ”
About: Always happy to fit your preferences and the cat’s. I don’t mind temperamental cats — I have experience with rescue cats. Services include cutting nails, changing litter, and of course feeding. I work full-time but am currently off on extended burnout leave. Car available.
“Kind and gentle. My dogs are friendly but my Yorkie can be a little suspicious of people and get shy. She instantly attached to Ciara which was super nice to see. Ciara is respectful and seems to really love cuddling with dogs and playing with them (wasted on my lazy girls). Very happy and delighted to have met her - have booked her to come look in on the girls again this weekend.”
“Lisa was really great with our floof ball, she doesn't always take to people but she did with Lisa which was reassuring. We got daily updates and videos. I'd be very happy to recommend Lisa to anyone and use her services again. ”
“Paige was fantastic and made the whole experience a breeze. We felt very comfortable trusting her with our cat and house for the night and she kept us regularly updated with messages and cute pics, and Honey has made a new best friend! We highly recommend Paige”
“Brilliant sitter, felt so at ease from the beginning. A pleasure to talk to about Winnie and she was very attentive making sure the cat got everything she needed while I was out of the country. Will book again for sure!”
About: Have previously had two cats, one recently passed at 17 years of age. She had arthritis and early stages of dementia, so we are used to dealing with difficult scenarios and administration pain medicine.
About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off for the last three years and can provide references - I’m also the go to girl for friends of mine who own cats, always happy to work my schedule around feeding times, providing affection, and of course, cleaning out that litter tray!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I've grown up with dogs, including a Husky and a German Shepherd, and I've also cared for smaller dogs and multiple dogs at once. I've completed a 4-hour training course covering dog safety, prevention, everyday care, and responsible handling. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, giving medication with instructions, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. I love going on long walks, playing with dogs, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I offer boarding and daycare and am happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your pup is doing! 🐶❤️ I’m home most of the day with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to give dogs plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, walks, and care throughout their stay. I’m also available for regular photo updates. I provide a comfortable, pet-friendly home where dogs are welcome on furniture and receive plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and attention. I’m happy to follow each dog’s routine and their owner’s instructions.
About: Hi, I'm Shireeka and I live with my best friend Brick the pug. I'm in my thirties, Brick is 3 and we live in a lovely 2 bedroom house with a garden. Being a dog Mammy I know what it's like to worry or feel guilty when you leave them for any period of time ❤️ so I really wanted to give back what Rover sitters provide for me: a safe and loving place to take care of fur babies. It's also Brick and I's dream to have a full wolfpack one day but for now making new besties will be great! I work from home and have a decent sized enclosed garden and house for dogs to roam in. Me and Brick love going for regular walks and live close to a couple of great parks so would love some friends to join us! I work from home so myself and my pug Brick will enjoy the company for daycare or boarding! We love going for regular walks in the local parks everyday too and would LOVE some friends to join us. I have a fully walled concrete back area for toilets and have a great sized living room with lots of dog toys, beds and a comfy sofa to nap and play on. My fun, socialble 3 year old pug Brick is very excited to make new friends.
About: Absolutely adore all kinds of pets- I have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was 10. I’ve grown up with animals and was raised on a farm. I’m currently working part time so I have decent flexibility to take care of your pets! I live next to botanical park so I can take your dog on plenty of walks! Lots of cuddles with your dog, making sure that they go out regularly and are fed exactly to your instructions! Would love to teach your dog tricks
“Fiona was really friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Selma with her for daycare. She gave me regular updates and Selma seemed to have a great time, and warmed to Fiona instantly! Would definitely book with Fiona again 😊”
About: I have had dogs and small animals my whole life! I am well experienced with both low-energy level as well as high-energy level (I grew up with Australian Cattle dogs), and so am able to provide an environment that is mentally enriching and suited to your pet! Additionally, I've had rabbits and guinea pigs in the past, and so am used to managing the needs of unique/diverse animals. I am currently enrolled in my Masters of Law online, and so spend majority of my day in or right around the flat studying. I do work part-time in a bar, but this is only a 2 minute walk from my house, and at the moment I am only working Saturdays, so your pet would never be left alone too long. As I am home most of the day, your fur baby will always have the option of my attention. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I take several small walks a day already to maintain a clear head. I am also only around the corner from the Botanic Park, so outside time can be easily adapted to your pets needs!
“Niall and Henrique were great, they were very accommodating with a last minute booking which was amazing. They were very friendly and I felt reassured leaving Selma with them. I was provided with updates which was much appreciated and Selma seemed to have a great time and seemed very comfortable. Would definitely recommend them 😊”
“Finding a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter was crucial for me. 🐾 Luckily, I stumbled upon Sarah and I couldn't be happier with their assistance! 🙌 Not only do they take amazing care of my fur baby, but they also send me adorable photo updates throughout the day. 📸 It's such a relief to know my Luca🧸 in good hands while I'm away. ❤️ If you're in need of a pet sitter, I highly recommend Sarah without a second thought. Trust me, your furry friends will thank you! Luca love you Sarah♥️”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, have experience with many different breeds from giant newfoundlands to toy poodles. I have experience with puppies and training as well as elderly dogs needing extra love and attention. I am a dog mom to a little maltipoo Bella, she is great with all dogs big and small and will happily share her toys with her new friends. I work from home so can give your fur babies all that attention they need while you are away. I live close to ormeau park and it’s the perfect place to go for walks during my breaks. I’m available evenings and nights during the week for dog sitting and walking as well. I have a fenced garden and 1 little maltipoo to keep your doggie company. I have lots of experience training dogs so happy to spend some time teaching them new tricks. Your pups can make themselves at home here with a cosy and loving environment, the perfect home away from home!
“Absolutely brilliant service from Stacie, would highly recommend her. We came from Dublin so literally arrived, handed our dog over and headed off for the day. Murphy was in great form when we picked her up and had clearly been spoilt!”
“Aidan is absolutely lovely with dogs and very knowledgable, I would highly recommend him. My very lively Springer Spaniel had a great time with Aidan including big walks and she was cuddling him on the settee when I went to collect her.”
“Maja was beyond awsome looking after our dog Snoopy and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Snoopy came home relaxed after a very pampered night with lots of walks, playtime and cuddles. Maja gave us regular updates and reports with photos. Very professional and concerned for Snoopy’s wellbeing. Clearly an animal lover and so nice to deal with. We can’t thank her enough”

I work at queens university, just two minutes from my house. I would be available every evening and all weekend too.

About: I’ve had pets for 12 years, cats and dogs! I have experience of dog sitting and dog walking for family, friends, and on rover. I absolutely love all animals and I volunteered in a turtle conservation centre in the Maldives where I cared for the injured sea turtles and the stray cats on the island. My degree is in wildlife ecology and am now seeking work in. As I’m not settled in a home yet I can’t get my own dog so I would love to be able to help others and have a little companion. If I was to look after your pet I would prioritise that! I get out for walks daily and apply for jobs in the house so it would fit in pretty well with my lifestyle. Very chilled and available most of the time! I won’t be looking after pets in my own home. In your home I will provide a calm and safe environment for your pets, I will prioritise their happiness and make sure they are comfortable at all times.

I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I will always prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. I recently moved to Belfast, I am from Canada, I have dogs back home but they will not be here with me in Northern Ireland.

“Stacie made a fantastic first impression. It was immediately clear how passionate she is about dogs and how much she genuinely cares about them. She is also incredibly kind, punctual, reliable, and professional. Taking care for Zeus, Stacie kept us updated and sent us lots of lovely photos. It was wonderful to see how happy and entertained Zeus was in her care. What really reassured us was Zeus’s reaction when he saw Stacie the next day — he was clearly so happy to see her again! That alone showed us how much he enjoyed his time with her. We would highly recommend Stacie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their dog. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Having Dave take Dylan out twice per week is fantastic. Dylan seems very happy with his walks and Dave is very reliable meaning that I am assured Dylan will get the exercise he needs. ”

About: My partner Sarah and I both love animals and give them as much attention as they require ☺️ We currently have an 8 year old beagle who is diabetic and blind in one eye.

We have senior cat experience with our late cat Tabby who had arthritis and was on multiple medications. My partner and I work from home with one of us available to stay with the animals, available most evenings and weekends with enough notice. My own dog will be in the house. The back garden is completely fenced and covered, even my own little escape artist hasn’t found a way to escape just yet. House is fully free to roam for all animals.
“Very last minute bookings and Joshua had no problem taking Barry, Barry is awfully nervous with new people to which Joshua took his time getting to know him. A really great help and a lovely guy.”

About: I have always grew up with dogs. My husband and I travel a lot for work and this is the main reason we never had a dog. I recently have taken a career break and want to do the things that I enjoy. I love animals and I feel they are a humans best friend. I am currently on a career break. I do travel with my husband however I can work my schedule around any dog walking or sitting. We live in a lovely area in Belfast on the Malone Road. We live in an apartment that has lots of garden area and we are close to Malone park. Our family dog Duke who was a black Labrador always stayed with us and just loved it here.
About: Hi my name is Fiona, I'm a healthcare professional recently returned to Belfast after living in NZ for 4 years.

I appreciate her communication and gentle approach. She is a real dog friend, and a great person. I highly recommend her 🩷🫶 Thank you for looking after my dog as if she were your own. It really means a lot to me. 💐”
“Danielle allowed me to feel very at ease leaving my 16 year old sheepdog with her. We met first and I was impressed by her knowledge and comfort with my dog, but could also tell she’s a true dog lover herself, which was so reassuring. She sent lots of pics during my dog’s stay and periodic updates which I really appreciated! I’d definitely leave Sjena with her again and easily recommend her to others 👍👍”
“Agnieszka was a lifesaver! She took my dad's dog at the absolute last minute during a sudden hospital emergency. She was fantastic, providing excellent care and peace of mind during a very stressful time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“No problems giving Charley 5 ⭐️ for her love and care for Austin on his stay. From our meet & greet we knew Austin would be happy and well looked after, giving me great peace of mind leaving him. Charley managed Austin’s daily medication and high maintenance hygiene routine perfectly. My boy was absolutely immaculate at pick up. Also to note a last minute issue lead to an extra night of care which Charley accommodated so kindly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you Charley ❤️”
About: Hi, I'm Stacie. I've worked with dogs in a variety of settings in both Ireland and Barcelona, including dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding kennels. One of the main reasons I started offering dog walking and pet sitting services is because I've seen firsthand that many dogs are much happier and more relaxed staying in a home environment. I know from experience that being cared for as an individual rather than a group and keeping their usual routine, and receiving one-to-one attention can make a huge difference to your dog's wellbeing. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including anxious, nervous dogs. I take the time to get to know each dog as an individual, building trust and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Whether your dog loves long walks, sniffing adventures, or simply needs company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same care, patience, and affection that I would my own dog Indie 🐶🐾 I'm currently very flexible and happy to work around your schedule to find what suits both you and your dog best ☺️ Having returned from Spain, where I worked with dogs, I now have plenty of availability for regular walks and pet care. Whether you're looking for daily walks at set times or more occasional support, I'd love to help and provide reliable, personalised care for your dog. Your dog's wellbeing will always be my top priority, and I'm happy to work with you to create a care plan that suits their individual needs and personality. 😁🐾

About: I’m a huge dog lover and have spent the last few years looking after dogs for family and friends while they’ve been away on holiday. I understand how important it is to know your dog is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll always treat every dog as if they were my own. I love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, giving them plenty of attention or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, caring and will make sure your dog gets lots of love and care while they’re with me! I work from home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to arrange my working-from-home days around pet sitting and care. I’m happy to fit regular walks, playtime and plenty of attention into my day. I’m also available at weekends for boarding and can be flexible with arrangements where possible. I live in a comfortable flat with plenty of green space nearby and a lovely trail right beside me, perfect for regular walks and letting dogs explore.
“Samuel was amazing with our dog Murphy over Christmas. He brought him on so many fun walks and there were lots of updates to keep us reassured. So pleased with how much fun he had and would definitely use him again.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for Pixie! Leaving a high-energy, loving Border Collie cross behind is always a bit stressful, but Mirja made us feel completely at ease from day one. Pixie was instantly comfortable and came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. Communication was fantastic throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and professional pet sitter! 🐾”
“Sas seemed to have a great time with Aidan. He took to him straight away. We felt really relaxed whilst away knowing sas was happy. Would recommend and will ask Aidan again for a stay”
“This was the first time i had used Grace for my 2 labradors. They were clearly very well looked after, happy and healthy after an 8 day stay in lovely surroundings on the south downs. Thankyou i will definitely use your boarding services again. Very happy.”
“Left Deeney for the first time today with Fiona and Dave and he had an absolute ball. Had regular updates and photos throughout the day which was very reassuring. Lovely couple who very obviously love dogs. Would highly recommend.”
