About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 9 years old. A few family and friends always had them around, loved taking them for walks and giving them treats! Im currently self employed, so I have some flexibility to look after and walk your pups! Free most week days & Sundays - also happy to help whilst you’re away Happy to look after and care for them in your environment and taking them for walks local to you, if I had a bigger place I’d 100% take them in here :)
“Brilliant experience! Ainhoa took care of my two cats who were wonderfully looked after, played with, and fed precisely as requested. I loved the frequent photos and videos. Kind, reliable, and polite—we'll definitely book again.”
“Adrianna was lovely! Great communications before, during and after. Looked after our very old dog with kindness and understanding. Am using her again without hesitation. Can highly recommend.”
“Kady stepped in for us at very short notice and was brilliant and really communicative from start to finish! Our boy clearly felt very safe and happy with her. She also left our flat in great condition on leaving. We would highly recommend her if you're looking for a cat sitter in the Central Bristol area.”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of cats and dogs, including tabby cats, British Shorthairs, and Sphynx cats. I have also looked after many different dog breeds and have grown up around animals, having owned Rottweilers and a Poodle, and I currently care for my Shih Tzu and two tabby cats. I am very confident handling pets of different personalities and needs, including dogs with separation anxiety. I genuinely enjoy working with animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My aim is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are in safe and loving hands at all times. I am a full-time SEN secondary teacher, however I spend my spare time (after 15:00) caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I have a strong passion for animals and really enjoy providing them with attentive, reliable care outside of my working hours. I am also available throughout all school term holidays, so if you are looking for a full-time pet sitter during these periods, please feel free to get in touch. In addition, I am open to last-minute weekend bookings where possible. With owner permission, I also love taking dogs out for enriching walks to places such as local parks or forests to ensure they are happy, stimulated, and enjoying their time while in my care. I have a fenced garden with plenty of space for pets to safely roam and enjoy themselves. I also have a female, friendly Shih Tzu named Paris, who is very sociable with other dogs and is also comfortable around cats, as she has lived alongside my two tabby cats. My cats are generally independent and often spend time outdoors in the neighbourhood or relaxing in their own space indoors, so visiting pets are able to have a calm and low-stress environment. I always ensure any pets in my care are introduced slowly and safely where needed, and I prioritise their comfort and wellbeing at all times.
“First class service! Alice was incredibly reliable and took excellent care of Wasabi. She arrived on time and looked after him attentively throughout the day. Wasabi was clearly very happy and comfortable in her care. We will definitely be booking Alice again and would highly recommend her to others without hesitation.”
“Isaac was phenomenal with my puppy Pixel. We had a confusion with the booking - which was totally my fault. Isaac didn’t make a fuss and rescheduled to another time. When he arrived he immediately put Pixel to ease and looked after the whole evening whilst we managed to get some City time. He comes across kind and trustworthy. I wholeheartedly recommend him and will be booking again.”
About: Will care for and love your dog like my own. Have grown up with dogs and cats in the family. Whilst I prepare for a dog of my own, I enjoy walking, training and playing with friends dogs and would love to get to know your dog. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so happy to have a regular canine companion on those days. I may be available on some Tuesdays but couldn’t commit to every Tuesday. I can be available on weekends, day or evening. I live in a flat on the 5th floor with a balcony. Your dog would only be allowed on the balcony under full supervision. Your dog is welcome on my sofa. There is a large park less than a 10 minute walk away. I don’t have any pets so your dog will have my full attention.
About: I've been caring for pets of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember ( a long time! ). I'm great with keeping structure and routine and adapting to the needs of your pet to keep them comfortable in your absence. I have taken a career break which allows me to be fully flexible with my time to take care of your pets. With advance notice I can accommodate nearly all requests. I live in a secure first floor flat. Your pet will only be able to access the outdoors when accompanied by me. Directly opposite my flat is a large park ideal for frequent long walks and bathroom breaks.
About: Hello! My name is Karolina and I am a corporative receptionist. On my spare time I love to paint, draw and read. The love for cats is something very special for me. The independence, curiosity and most importantly their spontaneity is always ending up surprising me on how entertaining cats can be. As having a little boy named Kisa myself, he makes my life even more wonderful. I am currently a full-time worker, but I am very flexible on morning and evening visit, so as weekend. Time can be negotiated, as per request. The type of service I’d offer as a cat sitter, is very much similar to the care I provide to my own cat. I will be taking care of cleanliness, food top up, cuddliness, play interaction and most importantly making sure the cat gets full attention
About: I've been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, from energetic young ones to slower, older dogs who just want company and a comfortable routine. Senior dogs are where I'm happiest. I've got a lot of patience for the extra care they need, whether that's shorter, gentler walks, keeping an eye on how they're feeling, or just being around so they're never on their own for long. I work from home most of the day, so your dog isn't shut in waiting for me to get back. There's someone here, the routine stays steady, and there's always time for a walk, a play, or a nap on the sofa. I offer boarding at mine, dog walking, drop-in visits and day care, and house sitting in your own home, so we can find whatever suits you and your dog best. I look after other people's dogs the way I'd want mine looked after: carefully, calmly, and with a lot of affection. I work from home, so my day is built around being here rather than rushing out. Mornings usually start with a proper walk before I settle into work, with breaks through the day for play, toilet trips, and a bit of fuss. Lunchtime is another walk, or a longer wander if the weather's good. Evenings are relaxed: dinner on time, a final stroll before bed, and plenty of company on the sofa. I keep to whatever routine your dog already knows, since that's what keeps them settled. If your dog has set feeding times, medication, or a walking schedule, being home all day means I can stick to it. In my home, your dog gets a calm, clean space with room to relax and somewhere comfortable to sleep. I keep doors and gates secure, never let a dog I don't know off-lead until I'm sure they'll come back, and introduce new dogs slowly so nobody feels crowded. In your home, I stick to your house rules, keep things tidy, and send photo updates so you can see your dog is happy while you're away. I'm careful with keys, alarms, and locking up. Either way, I'll always ask about vet details, feeding, allergies, and anything that makes your dog anxious before the first visit, so there are no surprises and your dog feels safe with me from the start.
“Sepideh is a dream cat sitter. She kept my Zinnia very happy and safe. Plus, she sent me lots of photos and updates. She was flexible, communicative and very friendly. Would 100% recommend and rebook. Thank you!”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals—cows, chickens, dogs, and cats—and began taking care of them independently when I was just 10 years old. By profession, I am a legal assistant with a flexible, work-from-home schedule that allows me to spend quality time with animals throughout the day. I enjoy taking walks, playing, and running with dogs in nature—it’s one of my greatest joys! I currently have a beloved 9-year-old black-and-white cat named Alisa. While my lifestyle and personal circumstances don’t allow me to have a dog full-time, I’m passionate about helping others care for their dogs and cats. This gives me the wonderful opportunity to make new furry friends. At present, I assist several people by visiting their homes to care for their cats and occasionally accommodating one at my place. I pride myself on being responsible, caring, respectful, and attentive, while also bringing a playful and engaged presence to the animals I care for. I love walks and jogs in all weather conditions and believe that pets are equal members of the family. They deserve to be cared for, protected, and treated with the same respect and love as any family member, ensuring they feel safe, engaged, and comfortable with their carers. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, allowing me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. I ensure daily walks, feeding, playtime, and grooming are incorporated into my schedule. This setup also lets me quickly address any needs or emergencies, ensuring my pet’s well-being while maintaining a balanced workflow. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, allowing me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. I make time for daily feeding, playtime, and grooming, ensuring my pet’s well-being while maintaining a balanced workflow. While I don’t have a garden or yard, I do have a spare room that can be set up comfortably for a cat if needed, providing a cozy and safe space for them.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs with my family for more than 10 years and have taken care of them both. I can follow instructions easily and have experience in giving prescribed medications to dogs due to one of ours taking medication for most of his doggy life. I currently work 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home and off on weekends. I can care for your pet on the days I’m off and working from home easily. I’m comfortable with whatever the owner need and want for their pets as long as instructions are communicated. I own a car and can travel to places if needed.
About: I have taken care of and had animals in my home since I was a young child. I have had the pleasure of meeting and caring for family, friends and acquaintances' pets throughout my life; being around animals will always be my comfort zone. I am currently freelancing from home so I can be very flexible with the dates and times of bookings! Plenty of time to look after the pets. The house has a large living room and ground floor, including a large fenced grass garden for dogs to play or relax. I also give dogs the option of fresh air and play at daycare bookings if the owner permits.
About: Since I was younger, my family have always had pets & I have a lot of amazing memories with them! When I was living in Spain, I was in charge of walking, bathing and feeding my mum’s dog & I loved it (even tho she did not enjoy the bathing time🐶) I’m currently working full-time, mon-Fri, with remote work which gives me the autonomy to manage my time and be able to enjoy my free time doing things that I love. I cannot take care of my place as they do not allow pets. However, I’m happy to take care of other’s pets in their houses & going for long, fun walking 🤍
About: I've always been an animal lover especially with dogs as they're loving and loyal animals. I'm happy to travel and take on board your doggys for the day! My rates are great and your dog will have a great time with me. I have a lot of free time on my hands to go on walkies! I’m good with all size dogs , but I mainly have experience with small and medium dogs , if you have any questions at all just ask. If you are wondering , my pup usually gets on with all dogs. If they do not get along I’m happy to walk them separately. I’m new to Southwark so don’t know the area much but I’m close to two big parks. Hope to see you soon! (Message me to arrange a Meet and greet!) I’m currently on starting MAT leave so I’m available throughout the week. (Availability could change for a few weeks once my baby arrives) Note that I charge extra for travel and additional services I don’t normal have other dogs in my home due to me living in flat with a communal area but I’m willing to take on small dogs if they get on well with Bailey. I would take your pup on 3 walks a day and they would have separate meal spaces so there is no dog fights and everyone is happy!

Redbridge pet owners share their Rover experiences
Nicole - what can we say! ❤️ It was the first time we’d left our little Willow with anyone other than family ever and a big occasion at which we were having to do so (our wedding) You cared for our sweet, old girl (17yrs), kept us updated throughout and completely put our minds at ease - we were feeling pretty stressed about leaving her From the very first communication you were brilliant, so communicative, understanding and you listened to all her quirky old dog needs! You are a wonderful person and we’d have no hesitation to recommend you to everyone! For Willow to be doing her old girl zoomies she must have felt incredibly happy and comfortable with you ❤️ Thank you for everything Nicole J&J x
Sansel was absolutely excellent. She came to meet with Jerry before her cat sitting to introduce herself and let Jerry get to know her. She sent me lots of updates and pictures during the cat sitting and left our house clean and tidy after she left. Would definitely book again. Thanks so much Sansel!
Susanna is such a great find on rover. She was able to accommodate us last moment and was so understanding of all the requirements of our demanding animals. Returned to a very neat house and happy pets, she also sent us the cutest photo updates. We would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Khushi looked after our dog for the day and we had a great experience. She was kind, reliable, and clearly very caring with animals. We came back to a very happy and relaxed dog. We felt completely at ease and would happily trust Khushi again in the future. Highly recommended!
Annie has been great looking after Zeus! Communication was great and she made sure she followed Zeus’s routine and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. The communication beforehand was great as well - making sure we felt comfortable before the handover! Would recommend Annie! Thank you!
Karly was a great sitter! One of those people you can just tell loves cats! Our boy is very clingy, but when we came home he barely even glanced at us, which is a sure sign that Karly gave him all the attention and love he needed while we were away (and he needs a lot!). She really went the extra mile with his care and was super helpful with things like bins and mail, asked clarifying questions about his care, sent regular updates and pictures, and left the house exactly as it was when she arrived. We also have catcams and she was very fine with them remaining on the whole time we were away, which I think really says good things about her trustworthiness. Very responsible and trustworthy, I definitely recommend her as your next catsitter!
Kelly did an amazing job looking after Lady- I would throughly recommend her and hope to rebook in the future. Kelly sent regular photos, kept the house spotless and even bought Lady a gift! We know Lady had a wonderful time with her and we felt completely at ease during our trip with this in mind. Thank you Kelly!
Faith was a phenomenal sitter for us and took exceptional care of Ophelia. Prior to the booking, Faith took the time to properly understand Ophelia's needs, play style, and overall well-being. Throughout the week, she provided daily updates and even helped Ophelia develop better habits—like sitting patiently while her dinner is prepared—which is something we’ve struggled with in the past. She even taught her new tricks that we are looking forward to practicing! We absolutely loved Faith's care and attention to Ophelia's needs, as well as her understanding of our communication style while we were away. It gave us total peace of mind during our first holiday apart from her. We would absolutely recommend Faith to any pet owners seeking a knowledgeable and caring sitter who treats your pet like their own. Thank you so much, Faith; we came home to a happy, playful cat who truly enjoyed the time she spent with you.
Rebecca was such an amazing sitter for my cat and dog. She is a super proactive communicator and genuinely showed care for my pets. She remembered all the little keep-in-minds (I have an anxious kitty on a prescription diet!) which I really appreciated. She went above and beyond, even getting extra treats for the dog and keeping the flat in lovely shape. My pets instantly took to her warmth and they look forward to the next visit already :)
First class service! Alice was incredibly reliable and took excellent care of Wasabi. She arrived on time and looked after him attentively throughout the day. Wasabi was clearly very happy and comfortable in her care. We will definitely be booking Alice again and would highly recommend her to others without hesitation.
Shakira was exceptional. She was attentive, professional and tremendously caring with all 3 of our cats (our babies!). She is a natural, Mist & Toby and our older fur-boy Oscar was right at ease the moment they met her. Oscar is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day and Shakira was able to do this along with administering oral medication for him effectively during the house sitting. Shakira gave us the peace of mind we were seeking, by keeping us informed and sending cute pics of all 3. We knew our babies were in good hands and we remain deeply grateful for her kind care and professionalism. Shakira is a super-star and we will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Shakira, you done great! Lots of love Saira, Tom & Co (fur-gang) xxx🥰🤩🐾
Polina was an excellent dog sitter! She helped us out quite last minute on a bank holiday and Pesto was perfectly happy spending the day with her. She was communicative and followed the instructions we have her (especially around pestos sensitive skin). We heartily recommend Polina!
Zoe is absolutely wonderful! She’s so friendly, caring, and professional. Our cats adored her and were so well looked after during the three weeks we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which really reassured us and showed just how happy and relaxed the cats were with her. We were able to enjoy our holiday without a single worry. Coming home to a clean and tidy house was the cherry on top. We completely trust Zoe and feel so lucky to have found her—she’ll always be our first choice!
