“This is the first time we’ve used a service like this and we’ve been really impressed. The cats have been so happy to stay at home, and we’ve loved the twice daily updates and photos. Our very shy cat seemed to love Rebecca which is HUGE! Will definitely use Rebecca again”
About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and they've always been part of my family. While I haven't owned a dog myself as an adult, I regularly care for my sister's dog, both in her home and in my own flat, so I'm comfortable with day-to-day routines, walks, feeding, playtime and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for pets. This means I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules and toilet breaks, rather than being limited to mornings and evenings. For dogs boarding with me, they will have company for most of the day and won't be left alone for long periods. I can provide regular walks, playtime and attention alongside maintaining their usual routine. I'm also available for house sitting and can work remotely from your home, allowing me to spend more time with your pet and minimize disruption to their normal environment and schedule. Your pet's safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a first-floor flat in a quiet area and take care to provide a calm and safe environment for any dog in my care. Although I do not have a garden, I live next to a canal, with plenty of nearby green space and walking routes, making it easy to provide regular exercise, enrichment and outdoor time throughout the day. As I work remotely, I am able to keep a close eye on pets in my care and ensure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I will always follow your instructions carefully to help them feel settled, happy and secure while you're away. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after.
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong pet lover who simply adores being around animals. While I don’t hold official professional certificates, I offer something just as valuable: over 10 years of genuine, hands-on experience looking after dogs from playful puppies right through to sweet seniors. I’m lucky to have a natural bond with dogs—they usually sense my love for them straight away! It’s a running joke that usually female dogs end up giving me kisses on our very first meeting. Back home, I'm a proud owner of two lovely bunnies, so my life truly revolves around animal welfare and happiness. My Doggy Experience • A Decade of Love: I’ve spent the last 10 years learning exactly what dogs need at different stages of their lives, from high-energy pup play to gentle senior strolls. • Breeds I’ve Loved & Looked After: I used to own a wonderful Mongrel in Hong Kong and have plenty of experience dog-sitting Poodles and Shiba Inus. How I Can Help You • Holiday Dog Sitting: I’ll stay at your home to keep your furry friend company while you’re away, ensuring their routine doesn't change and they feel completely safe. • Dog Walking: Reliable, fun walks to stretch those legs and burn off some energy. A Little Note from Me: I might not have a piece of paper qualification, but I have a huge heart and a home-from-home approach. I promise to treat your dog like a member of my own family! I work for a consulting firm with highly flexible working hours and a remote-working environment. I could control over my schedule and can easily work from your home while keeping your dog company. Mirror their usual day-to-day life : Before you head away, I will make sure to fully understand your dog’s exact daily routine—including their precise feeding times, favourite walking routes, sleeping habits, and any specific quirks. Your furry friend won't be left alone for long periods; I will be there to offer tummy rubs, toilet breaks, and attention throughout the day while I work!
About: I grew up in a 'dog family,' having always been surrounded by family and friends' pets. My background is deeply rooted in animal welfare; my family and I regularly rescue and foster dogs in need. This hands-on experience has made me naturally adept at caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it is a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a rescue dog that requires extra patience to build trust, I am comfortable adapting to their specific needs. I pride myself on building a natural bond with every dog I meet, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while their owners are away. I mostly work from home, which allows me to be very flexible with my time and provide plenty of companionship for your dog. My typical routine includes a long morning walk before I start work, with additional walks in the late afternoon or evening depending on your dog's specific energy levels and needs. I am also fully available for boarding from Friday through to the end of the weekend. have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely outdoors under supervision. Inside, I provide a calm and spacious indoor environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. Whether they prefer a quiet corner for a nap or plenty of space to stretch out, I ensure they have a dedicated area that meets their needs.
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life, I've never had a year go by without them! I've had experience with elderly dogs I've volunteered walking rescue dogs for 3+ years, and helped out with walking and watching elderly people's dogs and house sat with cats. I've just recently graduated from university and am currently looking for a work-from-home job in the comics industry, I am fully at home and present and will be able to give your beloved family members the attention they deserve! I have a fenced garden and no pets living here, although there is a dog in the family who visits, upon request. I can separate your pets if they need space as our house is nice and big, there's plenty of room for them to stretch their legs, and a park in close proximity.
About: I have just qualified as a vet, and am having some time off over summer, and I’m looking for some animal company over this time! I have grown up around animals and always had a passion for pet care. My time on the vet course has given me experience looking after a large range of breeds from the very small to very big. It has also given me plenty of experience with medical care for animals, and I may be able to accommodate to pets with more complex medical needs. I have also have experience taking care of puppies, including orphaned new borns, and of senior dogs. Please feel free to message me with any more specialist needs your pet may have :) I enjoy walking and spending time outdoor and it would be lovely to have a furry friend to come with me. I have an elderly pet dog at home who likes her own space, so will only be doing housesitting, drop ins and walks. Currently having a break after finishing vet school. Have some plans in summer which I would love to care for pets in between, so may be able to accommodate longer stays as well as short. Happy to meet prior to stays, to ensure I get on well with pets! I will stay with pets as much as is required for them and ensure lots of photos are taken to keep you updated on long stays.
About: I started walking my friend’s dog when I was small, which gave me experience in taking care of a dog and ensuring it has a good walking experience. I’m currently a full-time sociology student studying in university but my course workload isn’t heavy, so I have plenty of time for dog care jobs. For bordering service, I have a large grassy garden that provides a comfortable and safe space for dogs to run around. There are also plenty of green areas near my home, which are great for walking dogs.
About: I have years of experience looking after pets, I grew up around cats and dogs and even looked after a family friends tortoise when they went on holiday. Nowadays I have my own cat and dog who I love and take care of every aspect of their lives, from playtime, walkies, litter trays, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience working on a farm and assisting with looking after the farmyard animals and am attuned to their unique needs and feeding schedules. I am currently studying at university full time so I have plenty of free time to help with walks or check-ins. I keep my calendar up to date and on my days off and weekends I am flexible I take your guidelines very seriously and your pets safety is my priority. I will ensure that your dog is kept on the lead at all times and maintain good road safety. I make sure to keep them away from other dogs. I will ensure there are no escape routes from the garden when letting your cat/dog outside and that the house is secure so they cannot get into rooms they shouldn’t have access to. I keep your pets in my sight at all times and can provide updates for you.
About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for cats, from growing up with my family’s 12-year-old senior cat to co-owning a cat for 4 years. I truly understand feline behavior, boundaries, and how to make them feel safe. I've even successfully trained cats to walk on a leash and play treat-guessing games! I am a regular, trusted cat sitter for my friends' pets, and I recently completed a wonderful month-long boarding stay for a cat at my place. I live on my own in a large, quiet house with a big garden, making it a peaceful, stress-free environment for your pets. I have a lot of love to give and plenty of free time right now to focus entirely on your furry friends, whether they stay at my home or I visit yours. While cats are my specialty, I am also very open to hosting or visiting calm, friendly dogs to expand my care experience! I work completely from home, which means my schedule is highly flexible and I am around all day. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. My daily routine revolves around providing consistent companionship, sticking strictly to your feeding and medication schedules, and building in plenty of dedicated time for play, grooming, and mental stimulation (or leash walks if they are trained for it!). Because I have a lot of free time right now, your pet will truly be my top priority. In My Home: I live alone in a large, quiet house with a big, secure garden, offering a peaceful environment free from the stress of children or other resident pets. Before any stay, I meticulously pet-proof the space. Your pet will have full freedom to roam, explore, and find their favorite cozy spots. I am extremely mindful of open doors and windows to ensure absolute safety. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. During drop-in visits, I focus entirely on making your pet feel safe and loved while you are away. Communication: Trust is everything to me. I will send you daily updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how much fun and love your furry friend is getting!
“Sam was really helpful with a late notice booking and adaptable to last minute time changes. He was very calm with my nervous Italian greyhound and kept me updated with pictures - highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the range of hands-on experience I’ve had with animals. I worked in a vet clinic for a month and have volunteered at rescues such as Moohaven and Guardian Angel Bird Sanctuary, which gave me experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also cared for a variety of pets at home and through volunteering — from dogs and cats to chickens and turtles — so I’m confident handling different needs and routines. Growing up with two dogs and a cat of my own has also given me the patience and understanding to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. As a sixth form student, I have a fairly flexible routine. I’m usually available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends, which works well for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural. I can adjust around my school schedule to make sure pets get the time, attention, and care they need. For drop-ins, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a potty break, and some playtime or cuddles so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I always check that everything is safe and secure before I leave. For dog walks, I focus on giving each dog the right balance of exercise and fun, whether that’s a brisk walk or a slower pace for older dogs. I keep walks safe by using secure leads, being aware of surroundings, and tailoring the walk to each dog’s needs and energy level
About: I’ve always had pets growing up, both cats and dogs and have had a hand in training them all. I’ve also worked as a dog walker before and love looking after pets with all different energy levels and needs. I’m a full-time university student so the periods I will be pet sitting during (holiday periods and summer), I’ll be able to fit pet care in whenever needed 7 days a week. I can follow any routine you’d like me to with your pet, having a lot of experience with different pets and their unique personalities I can adapt easily to whatever individual care and fuss they need.
About: I've been caring for dogs and other pets for many years and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's unique needs and personality. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have my pet and human first aid certificate. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I work in a kennels but will try and accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m committed to keeping your pet on their normal routine and providing updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I always follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions you provide. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and care throughout their stay.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember but was never allowed my own dog throughout my childhood. So, when I was 12 years old, I started taking the neighbour’s dog for walks instead :) What began with one friendly old German Shepherd that I walked once or twice a week, turned into so many different dogs of various breeds, ages, and personalities over the years that I can barely count them all anymore. Every dog I have ever taken care of over the past 14 years still has a very special place in my heart. I always try my absolute best to make every dog as comfortable and happy as possible, whether that’s in my home or in their own, and adapt my routines to their unique personalities and needs. I have experience with dogs of almost all sizes and ages, including puppies and seniors as well as dogs with disabilities. Whether your dog is super playful and outgoing or more on the anxious side needing a little more time to settle in, I will always make sure they receive exactly the care they need in a way that works for them. If you think your dog would enjoy going on adventures with us, please don’t hesitate to send me a message! 🥰 I work as a bartender in the city centre, which means I’m usually free until 4/5pm on most days except for Friday & Saturday, where I’m typically working earlier in the day already and therefore often unavailable. When given enough notice, I am able to be somewhat flexible with overnight stays as well as weekend visits or other requests outside of my usual availability, so please feel free to drop me a message either way to see if we can work something out! ☺️ Polli is allowed to go everywhere in the house that I go, including on beds and sofas. Whether it is in our home or in yours, your dog will be treated and cared for like a true member of our little family.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Rushcliffe
Youngkyung has looked after our cat Ava three times now, once at her flat and twice as drop in visits at our house. Ava adores her and was totally relaxed at her place, and seems to love the fuss she gets during drop in visits. She’s well looked after and we get loads of photos and updates. Ava will absolutely be being looked after by Youngkyung again :)
Ada and her daughter did a fantastic job looking after our cat Rocco. Everyday we recieved photo and video updates from her. It completely put our mind at ease while we were away knowing that Rocco was so well cared for and having a wonderful time receiving lots of fuss and playtime. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Ada again for my next trip and highly recommend her to others.

It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
