Cat Sitting in Portsmouth

“Aimee has been absolutely fantastic, very responsive and clearly someone who cares a lot for the animals she is caring for. Aimee made sure to understand our young cats food and litter needs, sent lovely photos of how they were doing and did all of this on Christmas and Boxing Day! Would recommend Aimee’s services wholeheartedly. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and neighbours – whether that’s day care, walks, or overnight stays – so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and routines. I genuinely enjoy building a bond with each dog and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. From energetic walks to relaxed evenings at home, I always try to match their usual routine so they feel as settled as possible 🐾 Since moving into my own place, I’ve also volunteered as a foster carer for cats, which has strengthened my patience and understanding of animals with different temperaments – something I bring into my dog care too. I joined Rover to offer the same level of care I’ve been providing informally for years, just in a more structured and reliable way for owners looking for someone they can trust 🤍 I offer availability throughout the week for dog and cat drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding and doggy day care. Feel free to message me to check availability for your specific dates 😊 I always try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible, as I know that’s what helps them feel most comfortable and relaxed. I’ll follow your instructions carefully when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific needs or habits your pet has. I’m calm and patient, so I’m happy to give pets space if they need it, but also give them attention, play, and affection when they want it. I’ll make sure they feel safe, settled, and well looked after while you’re away. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with respect and keep everything clean and tidy. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

“Always a great experience with Emma and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you for taking such good care of Maruv for us again 😸 x”

About: I have had dogs in my life from when I was a child right up to recently when we had to say goodbye to our 14.5 year old, Ozzie. I miss having a dog around and would consider it a privilege to care for yours and to get some very much missed doggy love. My husband Phil will accompany on any overnight sits. I’m currently not working after returning from working abroad in France for the past few years so am available at short notice, I also have a car so can easily get to your home. I will look after your pet in your home and respect both and treat them with the utmost care and love. I am happy to follow all instructions that you leave.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve recently set up my own dog walking and pet care business, The Harbour Dog Co, where I offer dog walking, pet sitting, cat visits, and puppy visits. I’m confident caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to more nervous or senior pets. I’ve also looked after cats for friends, family, and clients, including feeding, litter care, and providing calm companionship while owners are away. I’m also pet first aid trained, and I pride myself on being reliable, calm, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, always prioritising safety, routine, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and happy. I run my own dog walking and pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends, and I always aim to work around your pet’s usual routine. I care for pets in their own home environment, helping them feel comfortable by sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I take the time to build trust with each pet and understand their individual needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or calm companionship. I am pet first aid trained and always prioritise safety, keeping a close eye on behaviour and wellbeing at all times. I treat every pet with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have had animals all my life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and everything in between. I have always been passionate about looking after animals and finally have an opportunity to do something with it. Whilst I have no professional experiance, I have a lifetime of personal experiance looking after my own pets and those of friends and family. I have a Level 2 in Animal Care and I'm currently working through a diploma in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking I'm not currently working so I have full availability across the week. Ideally I would love to turn this into a 9-5 Monday to Friday role with limited availability for evenings and weekends. Eventually I will be looking at a boarding liscence as well. At first I wont be offering care at my own home. So I will be looking after your pets in the comfort of their own space. Dog walks will only be off lead with permission and with good recall/no aggression. I will only walk 2-3 dogs at a time and will offer solo walks for dogs who need to be walked alone. Walks will be an hour long except in the Summer when walks will either be shorter or swapped with a home visit. Home visits can be once or twice a day as needed. Unless requested for Pet Sitting service

“Zuzanna was amazing with our little Peanut! She played with him and gave lots of cuddles. You could tell that Peanut was very comfortable with her and that Zuzanna loves animals. 100% recommend!”

About: Hi! I am a kiwi who has recently moved to the UK and a big animal lover. I’ve grown up around animals and have plenty of experience caring for pets of different kinds. Back home we have a dog and two cats (who I miss very much), so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking and playtime. I’ve also helped care for animals on my bosses farm, including horses, chickens, pigeons and dogs. Occasionally friends have also trusted me to look after their dogs whilst away for long weekends etc. so I’m used to keeping pets company and giving them lots of attention. I’m an active and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I am new to the UK and the Rover app so I am trying to build trust and make connections. I would love to have a chat about whether I would be a suitable carer for your pet so feel free to reach out :) Pet care fits well into my routine as I work week-on/week-off as a live-in carer, which means every other week I have full availability. During those weeks I’m flexible for walks, drop-ins or overnight pet sitting and enjoy spending time outdoors with animals. I will make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. This includes feeding at the right times, regular walks, playtime and plenty of attention. I will also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“Thank you feeding and playing with our cat noah!”

About: Hey there! First things first, I completely understand your hesitation about letting someone else care for your beloved companion. So, let me share a bit about myself. My name is Jessica, and I live in Portsmouth. Pets have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles—you name it! Back at my family home in Kent, we have two lovable dogs: Ruby, a sweet Staff X Lurcher, and Boomer, a unique Patadale X Chihuahua X Silver Lab (I know, it’s quite the delightful mix with a long story of its own!). I'm genuinely excited to offer my services because, at the moment, I can’t have a pet of my own. This way, I’m not only helping wonderful people like you but also getting my daily dose of cuteness and the chance to care for your pet just as much as you do! With a diploma in Animal Management, I have a good foundation of knowledge about various animals. I eagerly look forward to getting to know you and your precious companions! I work full time remotely now, which means I’m home all day and able to give your pets loads of attention and company.

Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care during weekdays and weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure dogs receive proper walks, feeding, attention, and rest, rather than being rushed or left alone for long periods. I take safety and trust very seriously. I follow all care instructions closely, keep dogs secure at all times, and maintain a calm, controlled environment. I’m attentive to behaviour, routines, and any signs of stress, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident their dog is safe and well cared for.

I have Public Liability Insurance and a Dog Boarding Establishment License. I currently work part time so have plenty of time to look after and play with your companions!

When taking care of your furry friends I have a spacious house with a garden for your dog to play in anytime they want! There is also a field close by for us to go on plenty of walks and have fun playing together. My house is well secured and has plenty of places for your pet to snuggle up after a long day.

I have grown up with them and still continue to have pets, including my 4 cats, Molly, Oreo, Rosie and Ash and my dog Buddy.

I can accommodate to any needs whether thats morning and evening walks or being with them all day. I can also house sit and pet sit overnight on weekends. I will make sure to feed and water your pet when needed and give plenty of walks throughout the day. I will interact with them and give affection if wanted.
