Thanks Diana. I know you were there 9.50 - 10.30 so thank you! Like me, you're getting to grips with how the Rover App works as I know I'm your first customer. Importantly, you followed all my instructions and clearly, Millie had a lovely walk and cuddles!

Sarah was brilliant. Clear communication throughout, lots of photos and she even managed to get my grumpy cat to sit on her lap - she is definitely a cat expert! I would happily ask her to look after Kiwi again.

Tuesday looked after our two very shy cats while we were away, we were a bit nervous about leaving them but we're very reassured by her pre-sitting questions and visit, and by the videos and pictures she sent during the time we were away. Thank you for facilitating a lovely Christmas for us seeing family we'd not seen in years, would definitely recommend and we'll be coming straight to you for future sitting needs :)

Our cat must have enjoyed Taegan's visits as she was very relaxed when we returned home. Taegan is a friendly, softly spoken person with her own pets. She is efficient, friendly and kept us informed. The area where the cat feeds and her litter tray were clean and tidy. Good job all round

I never felt so confident leaving my house and my cat alone for a longer time. I received a lot of pictures and updates about my cat from Emily - twice a day! On average 15 pictures a day, so I was sure my cat is happy. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who loves their cats and their house. Thank you Emily!!!!

About: I have a little 9+ year old pug myself so have first hand experience with dogs. I’ve had other dogs in the past so experience handling multiple dogs at one time if needed. I work Mon-Fri, however have the flexibility to work from home several days a week so pet care can be provided during the day with notice. Fully available on evenings and weekends. I would prefer to pet sit at pet owners house. My garden is not fully secure. Caring for pets looks like providing walks, taking time to play/cuddle and generally being around to ensure the pets welfare.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable around them and confident understanding their needs, behaviour, and routines. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, including Pitbulls, Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, Jack Russells, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Dobermans, Akitas, Dachshunds, and mixed rescues. This has given me the confidence to handle both large, strong breeds and smaller, high-energy dogs and puppies. I have built up a number of regular dog sitting and walking clients. I currently care for a Staffordshire Bull Terrier every other week, as well as a Doberman on a weekly basis. I also provide dog walks for breeds including a Rottweiler and an Akita Inu, and have experience caring for a Dachshund puppy, supporting early routines and consistency. In addition, I regularly look after a household with three dogs, including a Cocker Spaniel, a mixed rescue, and an elderly Retriever. This includes administering medication twice daily, so I’m confident caring for senior dogs and managing additional needs. Alongside dogs, I also have hands-on experience caring for cats within my family. I’ve looked after cats for extended periods, ensuring they are fed, safe, and comfortable, while also building trust, especially with more cautious cats. I always aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so pets feel safe, secure, and well looked after while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and adapt to each animal’s individual personality and routine. I’m a recent university graduate and I’m currently unemployed, which means my schedule is completely flexible. I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening bookings. This flexibility allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care, and to adapt easily to owners’ routines and needs. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a pet owner’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking schedules, and any specific care requirements. I’m attentive to pets’ behaviour and comfort levels, and I make sure they feel calm and secure at all times. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and ensure everything is left exactly as I found it. I’m careful with doors, leads, and routines to keep pets safe, and I provide regular updates for reassurance. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and reliable environment so owners feel confident their pets are in safe hands.

About: I have looked after my own pets for as long as I can remember! When I was younger we had a wildlife pond, chickens, cats and always a dog by my side! I have studied Animal care and applied sciences at university so my passion doesn't just come from a well rooted personal life but also years of study and interest in providing the best possible care for our furry, scaly and feathered friends. I will update my schedule to show an accurate representation of when I am available for boarding, sitting or drop ins. My schedule fluctuates, but I will always put the needs of an animal first! When your pets stay in our home, they will find a warm and welcoming environment that is kept clear of any risks such as harsh chemicals or toxic plants. I will always ask to discuss the needs of you and your pets before we take them on and we will agree on the rules of your household to keep things consistent for your pet. This includes any command words, dietary or medical needs they may be used to.

About: I grew up with dogs and understand the need to leave your pooch in the hands of someone you trust. I would be happy to meet up before you put your dog in our care to see if we are the right fit for you and to talk through your dog’s routine/requirements. I work in education (DBS checked) so therefore have a lot of time in the holidays to look after your dog. I also work part time so can offer dog walks/drops ins on days I am off. I have 2 children who adore dogs so I could only offer our services to dogs who are good with children. We would only be able to care for small or medium sized dogs due to their ages. We have a secure garden to provide enrichment for your dog whilst they stay with us. We live close to some gorgeous parks and the beach so could provide some lovely long walks. I work part time so am available Mondays and Fridays and most weekends. We are an active family who enjoy long walks on the weekend so would love to have a dog join the fun. We provide a secure garden for your dog to have enrichment outdoors. We would listen carefully to your dog’s requirements and routine and will provide photos of your dog having lots of fun. We would prefer it if your dog would be happy to sleep downstairs.

Our cat was very content around Roxana who visited him for a week while we were on holiday. She sent videos every day which was invaluable in allowing us to relax in the knowledge that our friend was in good hands. We won’t hesitate to pick her again if she’s available. Top class

About: From a very young age, I’ve been the go to person for friends and family whenever their pets needed a little extra love and care. Whether it’s quick drop in visits, daily walks, or fortnight long stays, I’ve spent years building trusted bonds with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. My passion for animals led me to complete a National Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management, giving me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, welfare and health. But beyond the qualifications, it’s the genuine joy I get from being around dogs that really sets me apart. I treat every animal like part of the family, making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. Expect plenty of tail wags, playtime, cuddles and regular updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in great hands! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, as it’s something I genuinely love doing rather than seeing it as a task. I structure my days to ensure I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding and giving each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop ins, or evening cuddles, I’m flexible and organised to meet each animals specific needs and routine. Because I prioritise reliability and routine, you can feel confident that your dog will be cared for on schedule, with lots of affection and attention built into every visit. My partner also has roughly 15 years of experience with looking after cats, dogs and reptiles, who may accompany me with some visits. She also has experience in sitting for medicated pets. Just for your peace of mind she’s loves every animal as if they are her own! When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make it a priority to keep everything as familiar and stress free as possible. I stick closely to your fur baby’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, giving them plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while you’re away. Whether your fur baby loves energetic walks or prefers a more relaxed pace with lots of cuddles, I adapt to their individual personality and needs. I also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, tidy and secure at all times. You’ll receive regular updates, photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
