About: Whether you’re away for the day, or perhaps a few nights, I make sure your pets stay comfortable, safe, and happy at home. Daily walks, feedings, playtime, and updates included. Peace of mind matters as much as good company. I offer dependable pet sitting with a flexible schedule that works around you and your pet’s routine. I’m a fitness enthusiast, so I’m often out walking local parks and nature trails, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy staying active and getting fresh air. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I adapt to what your pet needs. I keep things simple, safe, and stress-free. I work full time- but flexibly, affording me time before and after my working hours. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d expect from someone looking after mine. I follow your routines and instructions closely, so your pet feels secure and settled in their familiar environment. I keep things tidy, stick to agreed boundaries, and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and rest they need. Whether it’s watering plants, collecting post, or keeping things in order, I’m happy to help with the little things that make your time away easier.

“I had a fantastic experience with my cat sitter, Habiba. She was great, sweet, and super professional. She kept me up to date with regular communication throughout the time she was taking care of my cat. I will definitely book her again in the future. I highly recommend her! Thank you Habiba :)”

“Frangelica was simply amazing. I was so excited when I came across her profile — her extensive background with animals in shelters and veterinary clinics was so reassuring. As someone who’s never had to hire a sitter before, I was very nervous because my kitties are attached to me. When we met, I immediately knew Frangelica had the same extreme love, care & empathy for all animals as I do, so I knew she was the perfect fit for my babies. She went above and beyond, didn’t just stop by and take care of the usual duties. She spent quality time with them each visit, which was twice a day because of their need for medication every 12 hrs. One of them is a very anxious cat & usually hides, so I worried he wouldn’t come out for his medication while I was gone and I have another one who is scared of his own shadow — but both of them came out for her and I truly believe it was because of her calm, caring energy. My little nuggets felt safe with her even though they’d never met her, which is rare. I got pictures during each visit and she communicated with me the entire time about any necessary updates or questions. Frangelica was very thorough in following the instructions I left for her, which were A LOT because they are spoiled rotten and I’m a little crazy with the lengths I go through to make sure they live their best lives. I’m so glad I found her, she will absolutely be my sitter on a permanent basis when I need care in the future.”

“Melek was lovely and looked after Menace and Nala well whilst away and kept me updated with pics and videos. Will definitely use her services again!”

“What can I say… Carina was absolutely amazing! My boys adored her, and she sent reassuring updates so I was able to enjoy Christmas away. I came back to two very happy and relaxed chaps - thank you so much, I couldn’t recommend her more! 🌟”

About: I am a vegan and animal rights activist with extensive experience caring for and walking a wide range of animals. Over the years, I have volunteered at animal sanctuaries, supported rescue efforts, and cared for animals through TrustedHousesitters, which has given me the opportunity to live with and look after pets in different parts of the world, always adapting to their unique personalities and needs. I have the best prices because I do this for Love & Joy! as I have my currently job (: Being with animals makes me feel happy. That makes me a busy Sitter but I'll always do my best to help 🩷 I'm also in other apps for sittings but Rover is my fav! Spending time with animals brings me deep joy, and I offer walks that go beyond just physical activity. I aim to provide meaningful outings that include connection, play, and mental stimulation, always tailored to the character and energy level of each dog. I am also experienced in administering medication, supporting elderly dogs, and following specific care instructions with attention and dedication. I have travelled extensively with my own dog, Sirius, which taught me to prioritize safety, calmness, and comfort during every walk. At the moment, my dogs are back home in Argentina, and I miss them deeply. That is one of the reasons I decided to start walking dogs here, because I truly love being around animals and this allows me to stay close to what I care about the most. You can trust that your companion will be in loving, responsible, and capable hands 💗 Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I make time to engage with animals through walks, play, or quiet companionship, depending on their needs and personalities. I believe that consistency and attentiveness are key to helping pets feel secure and happy. During the week, I also dedicate time to ensuring all care tasks are completed, such as feeding, administering medication if needed, and providing mental stimulation through interactive play or exploration. When I am housesitting through TrustedHousesitters, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my day, balancing it with household responsibilities like tidying and managing the home environment. Caring for pets is more than a task for me; it is a joyful routine that enriches my life and brings calm and connection to the animals I look after. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or the pet owner’s home. I take time to learn each animal’s unique needs, routines, and preferences to create a comfortable and secure space where they can feel relaxed and happy. In the pet owner’s home, I respect their rules and environment, ensuring everything stays as they expect. I maintain cleanliness, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation suited to each pet’s personality. Building trust is essential, so I approach every interaction with patience and gentle care, allowing pets to feel safe and confident in my presence. My goal is always to make the pet feel loved, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away

“Tom is really great. He loves animals and Monty loves him. It is such a comfort knowing he’s in good hands while I’m out and Tom sends reassuring updates so I can relax. Highly recommended and appreciated.”

“Frances was great and looked after our kitties very well, going above and beyond when one decided to wander off for a while! She was calm and kept us fully informed and even made an extra visit to make sure he made it home and had some food after his travels! Will certainly use her again.”

Maura S.

“This is the first time we've used this service and we couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter for our two little kittens. Sophie was so kind and sent us regular updates while we were away - Pippin & Frankie were clearly very happy and comfortable with her. Thank you, Sophie! We'll definitely contact you again. ”

About: Hello! I have dog walked and sat for the last 3 years, looking after many and a wide range of dog breeds and ages! I very much enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it's relaxing at home or going for fun ans interesting walks. I'm always vigilant and my focus is very much on the dog during walks. It's great to form a bond and so far every dog seems to have liked me! I'm a full time dog walker and while very busy I still have time and would love to meet new dogs for fun walks and I'm available a lot of the time for dog sits in the evening and overnight stays every day of the week! I always make sure dogs under my care are safe by being vigilant and showing common sense, eg keeping on short lead in busy areas/crossing roads, keeping away from deer/grass seeds/food on the ground etc. I follow the exact instructions from owners and will do as much as I can do what the dog wants so that they are happy, within reason!

“Kat and her mother took an incredible amount of time and care with my very anxious and shy senior dog. Each time they visited her, they made sure she had plenty of enrichment time, and worked to build her confidence with new people. They went above and beyond what was asked of them, and I’d highly recommend them to any doggy parents who are in need of a little extra help.”

About: My name is Aga , I'm a mum of 2 children (14 and 18) and we would love to have a dog( I was an owner of 2 dogs before) but as we are renting we are not allowed to have one. We have had a cat for 10 years. I would love to have the possibilty to help someone and at the same time me and my children can give your dog a good time and exercise if essential:) we love spending time outdoors in parks and always dreaming to have a doggy with us. I m sure if you choose us your dog will have an amazing time and come home happy and fit. I’m often busy but my kids can be trusted to treat your pet with love and an amazing walk if you are comfortable with that and have walked dogs before through Rover. I'm currently quite busy but my children are often free and have experience in walking and looking after other people's dogs. We once had our neighbours go on holiday and we offered to look after their dog for 2 weeks and it all went well. Our house is a very safe environment for pets. We had a cat for around 10 years and have now introduced another one into our home.

“Had to go to work for 5 days this week, so was worried about how our anxious little Cosmo would cope. He did brilliantly with Gail's care & company!”

About: Your local pet sitter in Richmond, flexibly available! Note: I have a small dog of my own, a friendly male Coton Du Tulear, Merlin 🐶🐾 Our home is nestled centrally in Richmond, where we have access to a small fenced garden. We also live nearby beautiful parks and can take your dog for short or long walks as needed. My husband, Anders, and I work from home with flexibility most days so perfect for day time walks and ensuring your dogs receives our attention and care. We can host dogs up to 15 kgs, as our house is small and I want your dog to have enough space to play and relax. Your dog will have free run of the house and can sleep wherever you prefer if boarding. Our dog, Merlin, is friendly and gets on very well with other dogs, he loves to play but will match your dog’s energy and respect their space. We usually take Merlin out for a 1 hour walk a day or for two shorter walks (about 30 mins each). We can fit into your dog's schedule though as Merlin is happy to go out at any time. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at home. I understand that every dog owner has their own set of peculiar rules and I will take great care to follow all instructions and schedules provided. We only host one dog at a time, that way your dog can have our undivided attention. We'll provide regular updates, photos, and videos via Rover or WhatsApp, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is settled and having a nice time. Merlin, Anders and I are all eagerly anticipating hosting and getting to know your four-legged friend ^.^ We work from home so our schedule is quite adaptable to your pup. We take Merlin for 2-3 walks a day (each ranging from 20-30 minutes, for a minimum of an hour a day) and for a nice longer walk on weekends. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a comfortable and safe environment where they can feel at ease. This includes offering designated spaces for them to rest and play, regular walks or outdoor activities, and adhering to their feeding and medication schedules as instructed by the owner. Additionally, I ensure that my home is pet-proofed and free of any hazards.

About: Having lived with cats and been around animals my whole life, they have always been my happy place. Always happy to help out and take care of any kind of animal! From bringing up kittens to having a current very adorable 16 year old black lab (with plenty of bunnies and fish in between) i've seen animals through all stages of life and understand what they need to thrive. I am currently available to help out every day with the exception of Saturdays, with availability all throughout the day. I am very flexible with days and times, so please don't hesitate to reach out. Throughout the years, I have always been the go to person in my circle of friends and family to take care of the pets. I am very comfortable going into client's houses to perform tasks around their pets, and have done tasks such as walking/ letting out the pets, changing the food and water bowls, and cleaning up after them/ changing litter boxes.

“Martha came over to help me with Merlin’s desensitisation training. It was so much fun, our 30 minute drop in session ended up lasting longer. It was a pleasure to get to know you a little bit 😊”

“Nicole was fabulous, a great communicator, she made an effort to understand the cats different personalities and habits. Nicole went above + beyond, can’t recommend her highly enough - and she was very local to us which was wonderful. ”
