Katie's dog sitting service exceeded all expectations, providing exceptional care for my elderly rescue dog, Betty, who currently struggles with behavioural issues. Katie's expertise and genuine love for dogs shone through in every aspect of her service. From the moment I stepped into her home, I felt reassured by the clean and welcoming environment she had created. It was evident that Katie had tailored her space perfectly for dog sitting, ensuring it was both comfortable and safe for furry guests like Betty. What truly set Katie apart was her patience and understanding. She took the time to connect with Betty, recognising her unique needs and quirks. This level of attentiveness instilled confidence in me, knowing that Betty was in capable hands. Throughout Betty's stay, Katie provided regular updates and delightful photos, allowing me to relax knowing she was in good spirits. These thoughtful touches demonstrated Katie's commitment to transparency and ensuring pet owners remained connected with their beloved companions. In addition to Katie's exceptional care, I must also commend her wonderful dog, Daisy. Daisy's presence added an extra layer of warmth and comfort to Betty's stay. It was apparent that Daisy embodied the same attributes of nurturing care, remarkable patience, and endearing charm as Katie. Their dynamic duo made Betty's experience even more enjoyable, and I am grateful for the positive influence they had on her during her stay. Katie and Daisy truly make an unbeatable team, and I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding service In summary, Katie's professionalism, genuine care, and expertise make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a dog sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her services and look forward to entrusting Betty to her care again in the future.

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have spent my whole life caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved in their owners’ absence. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their routines, needs, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and attention while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care. Whether your pet enjoys company, playtime, regular walks, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a secure fenced garden and a friendly indoor cat. While she is gentle and calm around other animals, she can be a little nervous around unfamiliar pets. To ensure a stress-free environment for everyone, I can keep her on a separate floor of the house when needed. My home has three floors, providing plenty of space to safely separate pets if required. I will always make sure that both your pet and my cat are comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a passion for animals. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own, I have developed a strong understanding of their needs, routines, and behaviours. I am home full-time and available seven days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have my own Lhasa Apso called Romeo, who I walk twice a day, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, shorter strolls, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to tailor my care to their individual needs.

About: I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs, cats, and even a reptile, each with unique personalities and needs. I’m a big fan of walking with dogs. I am currently working during the week, and so I am free to dog/cat/house sit during evenings or weekends. From 6-7pm onwards in the evening. I will ask for detailed instructions on the pets requirements and routine and maintain this the best I can. I am able to give dogs medication or eye drops etc. I can provide regular updates to the pet owner on their pets well-being.

We were so thrilled to welcome Ella into our home to look after our cockapoo Phoebe for a weekend. She took Phoebe for walks and snuggled on the sofa and in bed - just what Phoebe loves! We came home to an immaculate house and wouldn't hesitate to book Ella again.

All I can say is fantastic. From start to finish Margret (Vicky) was so lovely. She came to meet our two pups at our request and they loved her immediately. She even brought them a toy each. Vicky looked after them in our home the following day and was great. We instantly knew she was a super fit. Vicky was very respectful of our home whilst here and again left gifts. I will definitely ask Vicky to come back and look after our pups again and I would recommend her to anyone.

Highly recommend Jonny to care for your furry family! My first time leaving Barney and Bessie with anyone other than my family, and I was unnecessarily anxious. They’ve just had a fab 24 hours in his care with all their needs met and more. I’ve come home to two happy, content, and tired out pups.

This was the 1st time we have used rover.com, our Spaniel Rosie won’t settle at other people’s homes and we won’t use kennels. Kate & Jake were absolutely fantastic from the start, they came to visit before we went away to meet Rosie, and we got a daily ‘pupdate’ on where they had been and how she was. We will 100% ask for there help again as we can now go on holiday knowing she is safe and will be with two fantastic people who Rosie settled with straight away.

Leah personality matched very well my little cutie. Benny is very selective and introverted but he followed her when she left, he really didn’t want to see her go.

About: I have been previously cat sitting/dog sitting on ........ from 2017-2021. I own a cat named Mila she’s 8 years old and a husky named Mishka who is 9 years old. I work from home, which allows me to have more flexibility over my schedule. This means I could potentially extend any time requested or any special request I can work with. I have a fenced garden, or if I go to the owner's home, I usually like suggestions on where they would like me to take their pet. Due to previous experience it helps me adjust to your pet needs.

Emily was brilliant throughout, she visited my house prior to looking after Judge to meet us both. Communication was excellent and Judge was content when I arrived home. Emily remained very flexible over the two days which was key and enabled me to enjoy my time away.

About: Hi! I’m Georgia (Gee) I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and looking after them has always just been part of who I am. I’m often the one in my family who ends up taking care of everyone’s dogs, and I honestly love it—walks, playtime, cuddles, all of it. I’m also a keen runner, so if your pup enjoys a good run or a faster-paced walk, I’m always up for it! I treat every dog like they’re my own and just want them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me. Would love to meet your dog and give them a great time! 🐾 Weekends Friday 9am-Monday 9am School Half term and summer holiday care can be discussed further. I am a teacher so very flexible in school holidays. I have a fenced garden and we have a secure house. I live by a large amount of lovely walks and enjoy weekends exploring. The house is suitable for pets and kept clean and tidy.

About: I grew up with three cats and two dogs. I have a deep understanding of feline body language and emotional needs. I am patient in building their trust and happy to play with them. I have just completed my Master's degree at the University of Leeds and am approaching graduation. I'm currently in a free and fulfilling life transition, travelling and writing as a way of exploring the world. My schedule is highly flexible, and I'm available for most of the day to give cats my full attention. Pet care isn't a chore for me, because it's a natural part of daily life, and I genuinely cherish the quiet, gentle moments spent with animals. I have lived in both a house with a private garden and a high-rise city apartment, which gives me hands-on experience caring for cats in very different environments. I understand the specific considerations each setting requires: in a garden, that means monitoring escape routes and keeping an eye out for other animals; in an apartment, it means securing windows and ensuring balcony safety. Wherever I am, I always carry out a quick safety assessment so cats feel relaxed and well looked-after even in an unfamiliar space. I'm also a passionate photographer, and I love documenting the little moments of a cat's day through photos and videos. Owners can always count on regular updates, so they feel connected and reassured even when they're away.
