Florence was amazing with our cat Derek! Derek immediately took to Florence, and Florence took really good care of him. We were sent updates and pictures which helped put our mind at ease while we were away. Derek clearly enjoyed all the fuss and attention! We will definitely book again.

I contacted Atlanta for drop-in visits to care for our puppies, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the very first interaction, she was prompt and professional, taking the time to visit our home beforehand to meet my family and the puppies. Atlanta’s nurturing personality and genuine love for animals really shines through. She’s incredibly thorough in following instructions to care for our puppies, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’ve now booked weekly drop-ins, and the puppies absolutely adore her! It’s clear that Atlanta is dedicated to providing the best care possible. We trust her completely to look after our puppies while we’re at work. If you’re looking for a compassionate and trustworthy animal lover to care for your pets, look no further—Atlanta is the one! Thank you, Atlanta, for all that you do!

About: I have had years of experience helping family and friends out with their pets. I would always jump at the chance to look after any dogs & cats if the opportunity was given to me. Weekends, I’m free all day and night to take care of your pets, go for walks, check ins or even over night stays within your homes. I’m currently working full time, however I’m flexible to work within the evenings Monday- Friday to do evening walks or check ins or over night stays. During walks I respect the owners wishes, so I'm happy to keep them on lead if someone isn't confident about them being let off, and if I do let dogs off it's only in an open but secure park / grass area. When taking care of your loving pets, I will always take lots of pictures and videos to give owners daily updates on how they're settling in and what they might have been up to that day - Dogs they've been socialising with, walks they've had and any other updates in general.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. I bought my own dog in 2022 at the age of 20 and she’s my best friend. I’ve fully trained her and look after her everyday. I absolutely love animals and would love to help owners look after theirs too! I am a self-employed counsellor for children and young people, specifically for parental separation and divorce. Outside of client sessions, I would love to be there for support you with pet care. I have a fenced garden and a small dog to keep yours company. She’s very friendly and is always wanting to play. I have a crate if necessary and plenty of toys.

About: I have been around animals all my life, having had dogs and cats, as well as hamsters. I look after my sister's dog when I can, she is a yellow Labrador. This also includes house-sitting at their house in London. I also sometimes look after my aunt and uncle's dogs (Labradors and a Sheep Dog) at their house in the Lake District. I have been a member of Borrow my Doggy in the past to help look after dogs or take them for walks. I use Trusted House Sitters for when I want to go further away from home and have stayed at homes with multiple animals including dogs, cats and sheep. I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment due to accommodating limitations, but I plan on getting them when I am able to. Some of the pets I have looked after recently: - Bozo: he was a gentle giant and I miss him very much, I only knew him as an older dog but he was always up for a walk and would communicate when he'd had enough. - Winnie: an energetic young lab, loves walks and playing fetch. I've looked after her both in the Cotswolds and in London. - Juniper: a loving black lab, she's so affectionate and is always climbing on my lap. Not a huge fan of the rain which doesn't help when she lives in the Lake District! But she's always the first in the sea when at the beach. - Polly: an older girl who is more of a cat to be honest, she loves spreading out in the sun or in front of the fireplace. She's not as active as she used to be so prefers being left at home for longer walks, but will have a good run around the garden. - Willow: a French Bulldog. I spent three weeks looking after her while her owners were abroad. She’s the sweetest pup and was crazy for a tennis ball. We went on many adventures and walks around the countryside. I work in Education and am also a student. I am often up early in the morning and would love to fit in some visits around work. I have flexible working and work from home benefits so I can work from your home with plenty of breaks, or do a half day at home and half at work. My weekends and evenings are mostly free so plenty of time then too. I am unable to take pets in my accommodation so am not able to host. However for owner’s homes I am always respectful of property, I clean up after myself and bring minimal belongings. I like clear instructions/guidance on what each pet needs and will always follow these.

Holly is an absolute natural with animals ..our Arthur took to her immediately 😂 She has been so caring and very playful with Arthur, he has learnt new tricks! Also his hair appears more shiny on our return..he's been brushed a lot which is great...he loves that! All in all we would 100 percent recommend Holly and hope she returns time again 👏.

About: For any dog owners that know me, I am their go to dog sitter. They know their dogs will have an amazing time and be in capable hands. I work nights, I am home by 7.10am, I take the dogs out for an hour, then I go to sleep (dogs usually sleep with me as they’re tired from the walk). I wake up in the afternoon and take the dogs out again. My girlfriend, Ria works part time so she is home a lot. Your dogs wouldn’t be alone very often, if at all. We take multiple bookings from different owners at the same time, so it is likely that your pet won’t be the only pet under our care at one time. For this reason, you must pre-warn us if your dog has aggressive tendencies. I have a gated back garden, I am knowledgeable in dog behaviours, so I can tell if your pup needs to be removed from a situation. I have experience with nervous dogs and reactive dogs, and little yappers.

About: Ive aided in assistance dog training for 2 years, have a level 3 animal care diploma within that was taught canine first aid, I currently do go to uni doing veterinary bioscience and hopefully want to go onto doing veterinary medicine. I have a passion for taking care of animals and providing the best possible enrichment :) Right now at the moment since I’m back home I don’t really have much going on so it fits in perfectly with my schedule giving me something to do. Within homes I often do basic supervision such as sending text updates on what is happening and fun photos of your pets so you know they are always safe and sound :)

About: I’m a third-year veterinary medicine student with experience in veterinary practices, animal shelters, dog sitting, equine care and animal rehabilitation. I’m Fear Free Certified in dog, cat, feline-specific and equine handling, so I focus on calm, low-stress care and making each pet feel safe at their own pace. I have experience with rescue animals, nervous pets, senior animals, young animals, post-operative care, medication, enrichment, feeding routines and behaviour support. Through my veterinary placements I’ve assisted with consultations, inpatient care, anaesthesia monitoring, discharge appointments and post-operative monitoring, so I’m confident spotting changes in behaviour, appetite, mobility or general wellbeing. What sets me apart is that I combine genuine animal love with veterinary training, patience and welfare-focused handling. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine closely, keep you updated, and treat them with the same care and kindness I’d want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m a veterinary medicine student, so animal care is already a big part of my daily life. I’m used to planning around university, placements and animal responsibilities, and I’m reliable with feeding times, walks, medication schedules, litter tray cleaning, playtime and owner updates. I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats around their normal routines, whether that involves walks, drop-in visits, feeding, enrichment, medication, quiet company, or keeping them settled while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine as closely as possible, as familiar routines help animals feel safe and relaxed. I make sure food, water, litter trays, medication, doors, windows, garden access, leads, harnesses and any household instructions are managed carefully. I use calm, low-stress handling and never force interaction. I’m Fear Free Certified in dog and cat handling, with additional feline-specific certification, so I focus on patience, choice and reading each pet’s body language. I’m comfortable with nervous pets, rescue animals, senior pets, young animals and pets who need a gentler approach. Because of my veterinary placement experience, I’m confident noticing changes in appetite, toileting, behaviour, mobility, grooming, breathing, wounds or general wellbeing, and I will always keep owners updated clearly.

About: Hello! My name is Inna. I recently moved to the UK and would love to spend more time with dogs again. I’ve had several dogs in the past — two wonderful Rottweilers, a playful Pug, and a sweet French Bulldog. They were all part of my life and my heart. At the moment, I don’t have my own dog, but I really miss the daily joy and energy they bring. That’s why I’m here on Rover — to walk, play, and care for your furry friends as if they were my own. I live in a quiet, comfortable home with a safe garden, perfect for dogs to relax and feel secure. I enjoy taking dogs on calm walks, giving them attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m reliable, calm, and responsible — and I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog needs a short walk, a friendly daytime companion, or a warm home for the night — I’ll be happy to help! 🐶💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I offer flexible pet care depending on your needs: – I can visit your home to feed, check on, or spend time with your pet. – I'm happy to take dogs out for walks in parks or quiet streets. – I can also host small or calm dogs in my home if you're away on holiday.

Atlanta organised a last-minute visit with us, which we really appreciated! Being super helpful with us getting a key to her, as we didn’t have a safe place to leave it. We got lots of pics of our puppy, which we loved. If we need a sitter again then we’ll 100% be asking Atlanta if she’s free! 🥰

Alex has been excellent from start to finish. A pre-start appointment was arranged so that paperwork could be completed. Plus the details of where food was kept and the location of my cat’s feeding station. Alex is a genuinely warm and caring person who loves cats. He communicated with me during my vacation and sent pictures of my cat to reassure me. I would have no hesitation in recommending him, 100%
