“Thank you so much for taking good care of Annie and Dora. First time using a sitter and 5 star service provided. Was lovely to have daily updates, photos and videos whilst we were away. Highly rcommend and will definitely book Aljona again. Thankyou 😀😊👍”


“We are so glad that we found Emilee to pop in on our cat while we were away 😊 we would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again! She took fantastic care of our 8 year old cat and always kept us up to the date with pictures too, can’t thank you enough. Xx”


About: I have been around dogs since I was little. I am used to big dogs and small dogs, and have helped my mum with rover before! I am currently on a gap year, and have a few months where I am available! I feel that dog walking/sitting would fit into my schedule really well as I am used to walking my own dog when I have days off! I have a fenced front and back garden, and I have a loving chocolate labrador! I can follow your requests and update you throughout the sitting!

About: I have grown up with dogs most of life so I do have years of experience in interacting with our 4 legged friends. Unfortunately, my personal circumstances do not allow me to have a dog of my own but I do currently live in a household with 2 springers and I regularly look after my friends 4 year old English springer who I have known and looked after since he was puppy. When in my company, your pup is my main priority and will do all I can to ensure their time with me is an enjoyable one. I love walking and the outdoors so you can be assured your dog will get lots of fresh air and they will be able to run around and play burning off all that energy. I would prefer dog sitting rather than provide boarding as I do not currently have my own home and this way it assures that your dog is their own, safe environment to avoid any additional stress or anxiety. To ensure your dog is cared for in the most effective way, I would like to meet you and your pet before hand so you can put a person to the profile and also your fur baby has an opportunity to know who I am before they are in my care so they are assured I am not a stranger and they feel safe. I will also ask questions such as: feeding habits, what kind of treats they like, how many walks are required and for how long, Can they be left alone and if so, for how long and how they are in social environments so you can leave your pup knowing they are in safe hands and will be following their same routine and of course it goes without saying that you will be provided with regular “pup dates” . I look forward to walking and spending time with your fur babies 🐶🐾 I do work full time hours (9-5) Monday - Friday however, I can assure you your dog will be walked first thing and taken for a lovely long walk in the evening and made a fuss of. I appreciate this routine may not be for everyone however, I hope you wound still consider me as I truly will give your fur baby the best care. I love dogs and have always wanted one of my own however, my current circumstances do not allow me to have one. My love for animals will ensure your fur baby will be in a safe environment and you can guarantee they will have lots of fuss, play, aswell as fun walks. You will also get regular pup dates whilst they are in my care.

About: Hi! I’m a long-time animal lover with over 8 years of pet care experience—and a soft spot for furry (and feathery!) friends. It all started by helping out with my siblings’ pets whenever they were busy with work. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cuddling, and making sure they didn’t get into too much mischief! Then friends started asking me to care for their pets too, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter ever since. I even spent a year working as a carer for the elderly, which taught me how to be extra patient and gentle, all things that help when looking after pets with their own unique personalities. I've always wanted a job where I get to hang out with animals and give them the love and attention they deserve. That’s why I became a professional pet sitter because tail wags, happy purrs, and pet snuggles are my idea of a perfect day! I’m currently available 5 days a week, so your pet will get plenty of attention and care whenever you need it! With flexible availability and lots of free time, I’m ready to be your pet’s new best friend—whether it’s for daily visits, playtime, or longer stays. How I care for pets in a pet owner’s home depends on each pet’s needs, but my main goal I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, or special routines to ensure I keep everything consistent. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise, lots of cuddles, and a calm environment where they can relax. If I’m doing overnight stays, I stay attentive through the night and keep a watchful eye to make sure they’re comfortable and stress-free. I also update the owners regularly with photos or messages so they know their furry friends are in good hands. Every pet is different, so I always take time to get to know their personality and preferences to provide the best possible care.

About: I've grown up with pets all my life and my love for animals outweighs anything else. I have just returned from 6 months in SE Asia mainly Bali, where I spent my days riding around on a scooter feeding strays and providing basic medical care to any I saw in need, I also started to walk a local dog that was kept on a chain, I cant bare to see animals suffer. I ended up rescuing two manurished pups off the streets which you can see in my photos and nursed them to good health, they are now back in the UK safe. I have my own adorable Cavapoochon who goes everywhere with me. Any animal I look after will be treated as if they were my own and will be doted on. I currently work in a school and my hours are short 8.30 - 1.30 however I am off for the summer holidays and looking for something to keep me busy. Due to recent return from travelling im residing back at my parents so I am able to pet sit knowing mine are taken care of. I will provide loving care for any animal, I am patient and that was shown with my rescues, one took weeks to come to me and I never pushed him for contact until he was ready. I will treat any pet I take care of as they were my own and will listen to each pet parents asks and wants for their beloved.

About: Growing up with pets always being apart of my household I understand how scary it can be leaving a member of your family in someone else’s hands whether that be for a walk or a night away. No pup is the same and I am passionate about tailoring each experience to best suit your fur baby and their needs. No dog is too big or too small! I’m work 9-5 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday so am available before or after. I am very flexible on the other days I’m not working and will be happy to accommodate. I have a fully fenced back garden with a dog flap that allows them in and out freely, but will always be close by for those puppies that don’t understand how it works. I also make sure to take my shoes off and leave everything as it was when going to a clients house.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have grown up in a family where we have taken care of other peoples dogs. I love pets and I am very confident in my ability to care for them. I am currently working part time in a bar on the weekends and so I have spare time in the week so it fits perfectly in to my schedule. I have a good sized garden and a spacious downstairs area where they can roam freely. I also live very close to a big park where I can take your pooch for walkies

About: I grew up with a family dog, giving me a strong understanding of canine care. I have a friendly approach to dogs and love spending time outdoors, ensuring your pet gets plenty of exercise and play. My daughter also loves dogs, creating a nurturing environment for your furry friend; which is why I chose Rover, allowing me to not just care for your dog but also create memories with my daughter as we both love them as if they were ours..I’m committed to providing a safe and caring experience tailored to your pet’s needs. As a full-time stay-at-home mom and carer, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dog. While my daughter is at school, I can provide focused care and enjoy outings with your pet. After school, we love spending time together at home and going for walks, ensuring your dog receives lots of attention and exercise. I’m flexible with my schedule, so you can trust that your furry friend will be well-cared for in our loving environment. In my one-bedroom flat, I prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort. With locked doors and child safety locks on the windows, I ensure there’s no risk of escape. Although I don’t have a garden, I have a designated area for walks and playtime. Additionally, if needed, I can provide a separate room for your pet to feel secure and relaxed. You can trust that your furry friend will be well-cared for in a safe environment.

About: My family had owned pets pretty much my whole life, from small animals like gerbils and budgies, to dogs and cats! As a somewhat paranoid pet owner myself, I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets care to someone else, and as a result I aim to give the same standard of care as I would for my own pets. I am also able to provide care for birds. as I am at home from university over the summer period, I am very flexible in terms of when I am available to provide pet care. The care I provide can vary depending on the needs of your pet. I will ensure their environment is safe at all times, paying careful attention to any specific hazards or concerns you may have. And of course walking/feeding/playing.

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.

Ruth D.Star Sitter
“Ruth was amazing with our cockapoo Teddy! He is an extremely energetic dog that needs lots of attention and Ruth made sure that Teddy was well looked after with lots of long walks at the beach, constant ball throwing and tons of cuddles from the whole family. We received regular updates and photos whilst we were away for the week on holiday. We could completely relax knowing that Ted was being so cared for and loved by Ruth and her family. Without doubt we would highly recommend Ruth for dog sitting or boarding for your pet!”

“We are so glad that we found Emilee to pop in on our cat while we were away 😊 we would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again! She took fantastic care of our 8 year old cat and always kept us up to the date with pictures too, can’t thank you enough. Xx”


Ayla A.
“Ayla has had large choc labs in her life from an early age. As any labrador owner knows they are boisterous hooligans & don't mellow with age until they are 5 or 6 years old if you are lucky 😉 So Ayla is used to caring for & walking this type of excitable dog. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ayla to look after anyone's animal. I have personally been on Rover looking after dogs for over 4 years & Ayla has helped me look after small & large dogs on many occasions in our home. Ayla has completed her studies & has taken a year out to travel & do adhoc work & am pleased she is home for the summer hence able to offer her services on Rover.”


Jacoba B.

“Jacobs was absolutely brilliant, even with the problems at the house, she immediately sorted it for me, thank you!!”


Chloe H.
“Chloe was amazing with my springer spaniel, Boris. Chloe arranged a meet up in advance of the booking, not only to not be a stranger before arriving in his home, but also to spend time with me to best understand how to best care for him and maintain his routine while I was away. Chloe was considerate of my home and left it all clean and tidy for my return. If anything, I think Boris prefers her to me! I would happily recommend Chloe and will definitely consider booking her for future requests.”


Gabrian C.
“Gabe is clearly a natural animal lover, and we have been extremely happy with the care he has provided for our two dogs and cat. Our dogs can be quite nervous and so it was lovely to see them bond with Gabe so quickly! Gabe has taken our dogs out for fun and safe walks, popped in to give toilet breaks, and offered top class pet sitting. We were able to go on holiday for a week with the comfort of knowing that our dogs were being cuddled, walked and comforted... not forgetting lots of cuddles and love for our cat! He sent regular pictures of our dogs looking very happy on their walks and all our pets looking relaxed at home. So lucky to have found such a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Highly recommend Gabe!”


Jordan P.
“I have known Jordan for 17 years and during this time she has always presented as a responsible, reliable and caring person. Jordan has looked after my own dog numerous times and has always ensured she is well looked after and cared for. Jordan was able to administer my dogs medication correctly as well understanding her medical needs. Not only this, she always ensured my dog was walked and given lots of love and cuddles.”


Sophia P.

Vanessa S.
“Miss Stazzone is a friendly sitter, she’s been very reliable and my dog is always happy to be with her. I thought my dog wouldn’t like the fact that there was a child present in her own but to my surprise, her daughter is gentle and I haven’t had any issues.”

Kayla T.
“Me and my partner used Kayla to cat sit my two babies for a week whilst on holiday. My cats aren’t very fond of new people and can be a little skittish but Kayla was very loving and patient with them and allowed them to get comfortable in their own time and were best buds by the end of the stay. Kayla was very professional and strictly followed the dietary requirements provided. Litter trays were constantly cleaned, babies were played and cuddled with… couldn’t have asked her for anything more. Also got updates on my kitties whilst away which was very reassuring as was worried to leave them with anyone. Would definitely recommend! 🥰”


Keeva F.

“We booked Keeva for x 2 drop in visits for Luna. Everything was perfect and Luna was extremely happy and settled. Highly recommended and would book again.”


Hayley W.
“Hayley has looked after my spaniel many times and I always know she’s well looked after. My dog is quite timid and Hayley is always cautious and attentive around other dogs to make sure she’s ok. She provides updates and photos too which puts my mind at rest and is so nice to see what a lovely time she’s having! Would recommend.”

Ashleigh D.
“Ash & her little man Jonah looked after my 8 year old rescue rottie Loki, he's a bit shy/nervous in new places and I'm very particular who I leave him with, he also has sensitive stomach so can't be given human food or unknown treats but I was very relaxed leaving him with Ash as she was very careful to check with me what he did/didn't like and how far he prefers to walk etc when I came back to get him after a weekend away I think he was disappointed 😂 he was living like a king with a blanket laid out on his bed! 10/10 if I need Loki looked after in the future Ash will be the one for us!”
