About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I’m skilled at providing personalized care that suits each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup or offering extra comfort to a more relaxed dog, I know how to create a safe and happy environment. I’m experienced in managing different temperaments and providing both playtime and downtime. You can trust that your dog will feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. I offer very flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs - whether it’s a one time sitting or recurring. I work from home almost every day and have availability most weekends. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing is my top priority. I’m fully committed to following any special instructions or routines you have, ensuring consistency in their care. With a focus on trust and transparency, I can update you with photos and messages so you always feel confident your dog is in safe hands.
“Chloe was very friendly and proactive in setting up a meet and greet before committing to looking after our two kittens. She was prompt and reliable and very patient with the kittens who were rather shy when faced with a new person in the house.”
“Tatiana looked after our cat brilliantly, I'd recommend her services 100%. After each visit, when she came to feed him, change litter box, and interact with Hunter, she sent us photos showing how well looked after our pet was, which was very reassuring and made our holiday stress free. Thank you Tatiana, we'll be in touch. We'd love to use your service again and again. Hunter was really chilled and relaxed when we were away :)”
About: I love a dogs playful and kind nature. I’ve been around dogs all my life and strangers dogs always come up to me which must be a good sign! I adore cats, why I could have my own but my landlord doesn’t allow it! I work full time so I’m only available weekends for dog walks. I could do some week day evenings but I would need notice for this. I know safety around animals, I’ll always keep them on the lead unless you’ve told me otherwise and I’d keep them away from aggressive dogs etc
About: Hi, I’m Deborah. I live on a widebeam canal boat with my husband and son, and I offer reliable, calm, and attentive care for dogs and cats and other pets in their own homes. I’ve had animals my entire life—from a Springer Spaniel growing up to rescue cats, chickens, rabbits and more. I currently live with a rescued Bulgarian street dog and two rescue cats, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, including nervous or sensitive animals. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a good walk and stimulation, others just want a steady, reassuring presence—and I’m happy to adapt to what they need. Before this, I worked as an office manager in a school, so reliability, organisation, and trust are second nature to me. If I say I’ll be there, I will be. I’m happy to help with: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Feeding, medication, and basic care • Keeping your home secure and your pet well looked after while you're away I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe and settled. I offer flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. As I’m home-based, I can often accommodate daytime walks and visits, as well as regular bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine where possible, and I always recommend arranging a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everything is a good fit. I only offer care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Keeping to their usual routine helps reduce stress and ensures they stay settled while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my priority. I keep dogs on-lead during walks and I’m always mindful of their individual needs, behaviour, and surroundings. I’m respectful of your home and will leave everything as I find it. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, from feeding routines to medication or household preferences. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly.
“Ching is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My cat warmed up to her right away. I appreciated her regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a spotless space. I can’t recommend Ching enough!”
“Lucy was wonderful popping in to Martha today. I was kept up to date with everything and sent photos too. It was such a relief to know that Martha was is great, capable hands today, and I came home to a happy dog who clearly enjoyed herself too. Thank you Lucy!”
“Thank you Shubham for taking care of Bluey and Pixie and informing us on a daily basis of their wellbeing with photos and videos. I recommend Shubham if you need someone to take care of your cats!”
“Aimee was fabulous! She was a delight to deal with in making arrangements and understood exactly what I needed her to do. she came when she said she would. She topped up Lucy’s water bowl and took her for a walk. She left everything as it should be and I definitely book her again. Thank you Aimee!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for my own dogs, as well as previous experience with a wide range of pets, including exotic animals. I’m confident and comfortable with pets of all temperaments and stay calm in new or unexpected situations. I also have an academic background in biology, which helps me better understand animal behaviour and body language. I always respect each pet’s boundaries, carefully follow owners’ instructions, and keep up to date with best practices in pet care to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a contract part-time job and have plenty of free time. I am free most of the days with exceptions for Monday and Sunday evenings and some occasional events. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine at all times. While I do not offer boarding or in-home stays, I provide attentive dog walking services in the local area and drop-in care for cats. During walks, I ensure dogs are handled securely, follow owner instructions closely, and choose safe, familiar routes. I provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and informed. For cat care, I focus on maintaining a calm and respectful environment in the owner’s home, following feeding and care instructions precisely, and engaging in play or interaction only if the cat is comfortable and receptive. I always respect pets’ boundaries and aim to keep their environment stress-free and consistent with their normal routine.
“She was amazing at taking care of my cat while I was away on holiday. Sent me photos and little updates on how my cat was doing which helped tons in knowing she was well cared for. My cat fell in love with her and will definitely come back when I go on holiday again.”
About: Hi, I’m Laura 👋🏻 - your seasoned pet sitter and I’m thrilled to offer a warm and personalised experience for you fur baby! A little bit about me...I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I used to look after my nan's puppies every day after school. At my parents' house we've had a cat for as long as I can remember, so I've got plenty of experience looking after cats too. My first graduate job was working in frundraising at Guide Dogs. We had a dog friendly office as well as a training center on site, so I was surrounded by pups on a daily basis and learnt vital skills about their care and behaviour. I'm experienced and confident around dogs and cats of all breeds, shapes and sizes. 😊 I have a lot of experience looking after puppies, rescues and senior pets. As I work remotely, I have a pretty flexible schedule and I'm available to take care of your pets most weekdays/weekends. I'm offering doggy daycare at my home, dog walking (30mins+), house visits and house sitting services at your home. I'm comfortable with staying for longer periods of time and looking after the house too, including holidays. I can host dogs in my flat, which is right in front of a lovely park, or provide care in their own home where they feel most at ease. Wherever they stay, I’ll make sure they get the same love, attention, and routine they’re used to — with plenty of updates for you too!
“Ed looked after our two cats for a few days while we were travelling. He sent frequent updates with beautiful pictures, and we came home to two happy cats! We will definitely be using Ed as our catsitter in future!”
“Highly recommend, had to book last minute so couldn’t set up a meet and greet but Liliana listened to all instructions and looked after our dog so well. Great communication and provided updates. Will definitely rebook in future.”
About: I’ve had pets in my family since I was young and am from a family of animal lovers! I am renting and so unfortunately cannot have pets of my own and so I relish any opportunity to spend time with animals :) I have a lot of experience feeding and caring for a range of pets from dogs and cats to small animals. People in my life have trusted me to walk, feed and sit with their animals whilst they were away. I have recently returned to Rover after a long break. I am available on weekends, evenings and some weekdays to walk, feed or sit with pets. I have some flexibility across the week and work from home regularly. I’d be better suited to someone looking for a sitter here and there rather than someone looking for a regular walker/sitter as my schedule is changeable and I’m in full time work. My job is pretty emotionally demanding and so sitting is something I do for enjoyment to connect with animals :) I will be very mindful of any instructions you leave for pet care and will follow your lead on this. I always endeavour to be respectful of peoples space and boundaries and so as long as I know the expectations I will provide great care to your pets and can’t wait to meet them :)

Ivory is a lovely cat sitter - she's kept my cats happy and made an effort to keep with their routines. She's also kept me up to date and proved to be highly reliable and I never found myself worried. Thank you for taking such good care of Hazel and Brazil who loved spending time with you!
Patricia is the BEST catsitter in Reading! This was the second time Patricia looked after our two cats, Mario and Luigi, and once again she did a fantastic job. She came daily to feed them, set automatic feeders, fill water bowls and clean litter box. Patricia always stays a little longer to provide pets and play with the cats. We received daily detailed updates and pictures, which was super helpful. We will be using Patricia’s services again and we recommend you do the same!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Chloe provided for our cat. This is our first time getting someone to look for cat but Chloe reassured that our cat will be fine. She gave us updates through the app which really put our minds at ease. Cooper seemed so relaxed and happy when we got home, which is the best sign of all! From the meet and greet to the actual sitting, we knew that Chloe clearly has a natural bond with cats. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Ching Man did an amazing job looking after my cat Heinz! She was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and clearly really cares about the pets she looks after. Heinz seemed totally relaxed and happy when I got back, which says it all. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
Charlotte was so lovely with our little babies! Sphynx cats can be a handful and quite needy. Not to mention not everyone is fond of them :’) but Charlotte adored them and vice versa. We love when it’s clear someone cares deeply for animals. Charlotte Gave us lots of updates and pictures everyday as well! We will 100% contact again when we need someone to watch our boy and girl x
I had an emergency out of town trip and I needed a cat sitter. This was my first time using the app and I had just moved house. Tommy was able to reassure me, both with his relaxed presence and clear experience with looking after animals. My cat is very skittish and I’m sure she wasn’t the most entertaining but Tommy persevered and was able to look after her and send pictures (when he could Catch a glimpse). Would recommend and would use again.
