“Yevheniia took wonderful care of my small dog for a few days while we were on vacation. Right from the start, Yevheniia was very caring and made sure my pup had everything she needed. She kept us constantly updated while we were away, and our pup was incredibly well looked after. Thank you so much for looking after our pup! Would highly recommend.”


4. Tommy J.
“I can’t say enough good things about Tommy and their dedication to pet care. Their passion for animals is evident in everything they do, from their deep knowledge of pet health and behavior to their gentle, loving approach. Whether it’s providing top-notch playing and walking, ensuring pets get the right nutrition, or simply showering them with affection, Tommy goes above and beyond.”


5. Chaiwat V.
“I cannot recommend Chai enough for anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable cat sitter. It was clear that he has an in-depth understanding of feline behavior and a deep love for cats. He took the time to get to know my cat, Kiki, and was incredibly attentive to her specific needs and quirks. Not only did he provide excellent care by keeping my cat’s routine consistent, but he also went above and beyond in noticing small details—like her favorite hiding spots and how she prefers to be petted—that made all the difference in helping my cat feel comfortable and safe. Throughout my time away, Chai also kept me updated with regular check-ins, sharing pictures and updates that reassured me that my cat was in the best hands. It’s clear that Chai has a true passion for animals and a wealth of experience in understanding them. I returned home to a happy, healthy cat, and I will definitely be reaching out to Chai for any future pet sitting needs :)”

About: I have experience of caring for dogs and cats from puppy/kitten right up to senior ages and love them all! Happy to help in any way I can☺️ I currently work as a teaching assistant in a primary school - so am used to chaos!! Love all animals and would be happy to help over weekends or for an after school drop in☺️ I live on a quiet road with a fenced secure garden and currently have no other pets in the home so would be happy to help in any way I can! Living with my husband who is also a dog lover means there can always be someone around the house to help look after your pet if needed!


7. Walaa F.
“Walaa used to pet sit my golden retriever and beagle every time i needed her to. She was very strict when it comes to their feeding and walking schedule and never missed a tiny detail. She is very responsible and understands how important and helpful it is to take care of a pet. She also took them to the vet on numerous occasions when needed and always kept me updated when I was not around. I would definitely recommend Walaa as a pet caregiver, she is absolutely perfect for the job and has great passion and love for animals.”


8. Elias Jade P.
“Ella is a very bright girl she will make a good dog walker/sitter. she was brought up looking after many furry pets, her mother studied at Bellmead kennels at Windsor which was part of the Battersea dogs home, she still dog/house sits, Ella does look after my rescue dog Teddy from time to time plus my previous rescue dog Zena, I am sure Ella will make a good member of your team. Regards Mrs Gillian Yapp”


9. Chloe E.

“We recently used Chloe to look after our cats, Penny and Sybil, for the first time, and she did an amazing job! She kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she truly cared for our cats and took wonderful care of them. We’re so happy with the service she provided and will definitely be asking Chloe to look after Penny and Sybil again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”


10. Katie T.
“Katie has looked after our cats on multiple occasions, coming into our house to feed and give them cuddles whilst we’ve been away on holiday. The cats love her! She is also always on hand to walk our dog, and we feel as though he’s really safe and cared for when in Katie’s care, he loves it when Katie knocks to take him out for a walk!”


11. Sarah C.

“Sarah did a great job at checking in on Basil, ensuring he was fed and given plenty of playtime and attention which was shown through lots of updates that kept our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend and use again!”


12. Katsiaryna Y.
About: I have always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I used to have two cats and two Boxer dogs, so I understand their needs, behavior, and how to provide proper care. Unfortunately, I am not able to have a pet of my own at the moment, which is why I would love to help take care of yours. I am responsible, attentive, and genuinely care about the well-being and comfort of animals. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, and general care to ensure your pet feels happy and safe while you are away. For health and safety reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets. If you’re looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter, I would be happy to help! Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, whether it’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or simply providing companionship. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they stay in my home or I visit theirs. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep their routine, and make sure they feel relaxed and happy. I always treat pets and homes with respect and care.

“Great having Cheryl to check in on Tairrie (and the cats!) while I was out for the day. Lots of pics sent so I knew they were being well looked after and enjoying their visits 😊 Thanks Cheryl!”


14. Haresh R.
“Haresh regularly took care of my pets when my family and I were away from home. He was extremely caring and responsible with our Labrador and Indie breed dogs. He also took care of my granparents' cat a couple of times - their cat is normally a little antisocial but has always been super friendly with Haresh! Don't ever have to think twice about leaving our pets in Haresh's care!”


15. Elisha T.
“Elisha has looked after our 3 dogs and 2 cats numerous times when we have gone on holiday or for weekends away. I always feel completely relaxed knowing they are at home with Elisha. She adores animals and I would highly recommend her to look after your animals. Rest assured they will be in great hands.”


16. Amelia T.
About: I’ve loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped care for family dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I’ve always had cats at home—so I definitely miss having a furry companion around the house! During my teenage years, I also volunteered at Oak and Furrows Animal Rescue Centre, where I gained hands-on experience looking after a wide variety of animals with different needs, personalities, and temperaments. I’m confident, caring, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently a final year undergraduate student meaning I only have a few hours per week where I’m required on campus. This means I have plenty of time at home and would love to have a furry companion to look after! I’m available for boarding Tuesdays-Mondays but can work out other arrangements if you give me a message :) I have a securely fenced garden where pets can safely explore under supervision. Animals have full, supervised access to the ground floor and basement of the house, with plenty of space to relax and play. I can also crate dogs if needed, based on your preferences. I live with three other girls who live on the upper floor— they’re also animal lovers, so your pet will be surrounded by care and kindness at all times.


17. Mei Wa L.
“Mei Wa has been an incredible pet caregiver for many years. With 13 years of experience caring for her pug and 3 years looking after my cat, Miso, she truly understands pets' needs. She always brings healthy food, spends quality time playing with them, and ensures their hygiene is well-maintained. She is the best person I know to take care of your pet when you are away.”


18. Tatiana V.

“I’ve had various cat sitters through Rover and genuinely Tatiana is the best I’ve ever come across, even professional companies didn’t do as good of a job as her. It was a fairly last minute booking and Tatiana was very accommodating. She reassured me with lots of pictures, videos and concise updates through the days. I have a very messy Ragdoll and she went above and beyond cleaning up after him! She even gave him brushes and treats and treated him just like I would. When I got home he was very happy and cuddly and I could just tell how well he had been taken care of. I can’t thank Tatiana enough for looking after Leo so well and I will definitely be using her from now on as my go-to cat sitter ❤️”


19. Florina D.

“Florina is a happy presence and I'm sure our boys had a great time with her. She took notes and easy very easygoing. Can't wait to book her for housesitting.”


20. Ptolemy R.
“Ptolemy is a responsible and reliable person who has cared for my dog on a number of occasions. Being an outdoorsy chap he loves walking and isn’t deterred by the elements, taking care of to dry my dog when they have been out in the rain. He seems to have a natural affinity with both dogs and cats.”
