“Sophie came and looked after our pets this weekend and we couldn't have been happier, she put us at ease keeping us updated regularly and both pets took to her immediately, I know they will be in good hands when Sophie looks after them again in the future!”


2. Archie S.

“Some things are just meant to be! I can not recommend Archie enough! After being let down by somebody else just three days before the holiday, we Arranged for our dog Buddy to meet Archie. Buddy is a super energetic and playful dog, which is too much for some people. Archie thrived from it, throughout the holiday we had pictures and videos as updates and could see how genuinely happy our pooch was. The house was left immaculate too. We will definitely be using again in the future. Thank you very much👍🐕”

4. Nina S.
“Nina has looked after my dogs on numerous occasions. Having owned dogs herself for many years, she understands the concerns I have as a dog owner, especially as they enter the later stages of life. She is friendly and caring, punctual and professional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“Absolutely brilliant. Genevieve kept in contact before the sitting and also during . Would definitely recommend. I would use her again without hesitation. Thankyou”


6. Fay D.
“My dogs were really happy with Fay and got on well with her own dogs when they played in the garden and were happy to sleep over in a separate room. Their food was kept at the right temperature and they enjoyed lots of cuddles. Highly recommended”

8. Emma B.
“Hello, Emma would be a great pick to choose for caring for your pets. As someone that is very close to Emma, I know that she has always loved animals ever since been little. She is always watching things that involve animals, whether it's dogs, cats or even big cats she just loves animals. She always walks both of my dogs for me as I am working full time, I have two Shih Tzu Bichon that she loves spending time with and they love it just as much. I really think Emma would suit the role very much and you wouldn't look any further.”


9. Emily-Angelina E.

“Would happily rebook - no question! The dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home, the house was arguably cleaner, even than we left it 😆 And they were wonderful with our two dogs, one of whom has anxiety issues. You could tell how relaxed they were when we got home, felt like we’d not even gone anywhere. Communicative, kind, and clearly animal people. Will happily have back again! Thank you so much!”

11. Victoria W.
“Victoria is honest, tends to trust animals more than people so will get on well with your pets. And is sweet natured and good mannered so will be well suited to you as the owner as well. She has good patience with animals too.”


12. Nageswararao K.
“We couldn’t have asked for better caregivers for our pup! Nani and Navya truly love dogs and provide a safe, welcoming, and affectionate environment. Their pet-friendly community, secure garden, and friendly Cavapoo puppy made our dog feel right at home. It was heartwarming to see how much they genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, not as a business but out of pure love. We received regular updates, and our dog was always happy, well-exercised, and cared for. Knowing they have years of experience, plus a home filled with other friendly pets, gave us complete peace of mind. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet sitters! -Sravs”


13. Lauren D.
“Lauren did an amazing job looking after my cat! She was incredibly attentive, making sure every little detail was taken care of, from feeding schedules to playtime. I could tell she genuinely cared, as my cat was happy and well looked after when I returned. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’d highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


14. Amy Anna S.
“Amy is very kind and trustworthy. She is very knowledgable on dogs and their training. I know she has experience with a variety of dogs and has helped raise dogs from troubled homes.”


15. Ziwei Y.

“My husband and I booked Yan for house sitting services 19th-21st February. It was our first time using Rover and Yan. Yan agreed to two meet and greets beforehand so we could introduce her to our girls Jasmine & Aurora, our sweet and spicy cats. Yan, also brought her partner, Morgan with her as he would be stopping one of the nights. We were happy to meet Morgan, and for him to stay in our home, as he was friendly, approachable, polite and has experience with cats, including his family cat who is a similar nature to Jasmine. Morgan proved to be an asset and great support, with Jasmine approaching him on the second meet and greet, and eventually rubbing her face on the back of his hand, one of Jasmine's preferred methods of contact, as she is completely in control. Jasmine, who is spicy and only accepts affection on her own terms, was our main worry. However, to our surprise, Yan was able to make her feel comfortable and safe enough, for her to sit within less than a foot of Yan on the sofa, on the third day of house sitting. Jasmine rarely sits this close to us. Jasmine spend the whole day (we did not get home til after 5pm) on the sofa with Yans company. Yan also advised that Jasmine had allowed Yan to touch her once during her stay, something that I thought wouldn't happen as Jasmine takes a long time to warm up to new people. Yan has a very calm and gentle nature, and I think Jasmine responded very well to this. Aurora, who is sweet & chatty, but initially is timid until she feels comfortable with new people warmed up to Yan quickly. Aurora loved Yan's company enjoying frequent fusses and playtime. Yan gave both the girls their preferred treats and food, and ensured both girls were happy & content during her stay. When we arrived home, it was clear both girls had been well looked after and had enjoyed Yan's (and Morgan's) company. The house was clean and tidy and Yan provided feedback of her stay. Yan also updated us daily (as requested) with how the girls were doing. We appreciate Yan taking such good care of our girls, we would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again.”


16. Andrew S.

“Andrew was fantastic, I trusted him with the care of my animals immediately. He came and met me and my dog before hand and she adored him right away which says it all really. He left my home perfectly as he found it and I am so happy to have found a go person for future trips, dog walking and cat drop ins. Thank-you.”

About: As a child I’ve owned rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters so I feel I have good experience with all kinds of animals including my dog who I’ve had since I was 12. I have studied animal management at Sparsholt college and have worked as a veterinary care assistant previously. I am flexible most days however from September I’ll be going on maternity leave. I would prefer to look after your dog in your own home. I will give my time to your dog and provide plenty of enrichment, offering two to three walks per day and playing games with them in the garden.

20. Cara B.
“Cara is very reliable and caring young woman. She cared for my house rabbit for 10 days, feeding, cleaning trays and sitting with him as he spent time running out in the garden! She keeps in touch about any arrangements and responds promptly to any messages. She also took good care of my house as she was sitting while I was away. Most importantly she has a caring and kind nature and evidently loves animals.”
