“Emma has been absolutely awesome. She has looked after my furball so well and I felt safe to have her in my home. Nothing was too much trouble I just wish I'd found Emma sooner. Definitely will rebook and recommend.”
“Devon was absolutely brilliant with Kuda. He was reliable, calm, and clearly confident with dogs, which put me at ease straight away. Kuda was well cared for, happy, and relaxed during the visits, and communication throughout was great. I really appreciated the updates and the care shown — it’s clear Devon genuinely loves what he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“Rebecca was fantastic! I eeally appreciated having someone come who greatly enjoys spending time with cats, even those that are very shy. My cats seemed to really enjoy meeting her and playing with her (one of them)! I really appreciated the thorough updates and pictures. It was a big relief to know my cats were so well cared for!”
“Aliyah is amazing! Our dog absolutely loves her and we can trust Aliyah completely with our senior girl. I would highly recommend her - she is responsible, caring and flexible and you can really see how much love she has for the animals she cares for. We are grateful to have found her!”
“Rhiannon looked after my 2 cats for long weekend, and they were very happy and content we I got home. Visits were regular, communication and great, lots of photos of the cats playing :-)”
“First time using Donna and she’s been brilliant. She fed the cats messaging us before giving them extra food as one was extra greedy eating the others. She also changed the litter, would recommend!”
“Kerenza was a great help taking care of our cat Sushi when we had to be away for the day while she was recovering from surgery with a feeding tube and medication. Her vet training meant that we could depend on her to administer the food and medication properly. It took so much of the stress out of having to be away for the day. I really appreciated Kerenza’s knowledge, reliability, and caring approach and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
“Hannah did the best job that she could've with our very timid cat. She was happy to do a meetup in advance of the booking which was very useful. Hannah arrived on time for the bookings and was happy to follow the instructions we left and gave updates on Evie. Would book again if we go away!”
About: I am a Volunteer foster carer for an animal shelter and have taken care of multiple dogs over the last couple years. My experiences mainly focus on small-mid sized dogs, such as Pomeranian, Bichon, Yorkshire terrier, Staffordshire, Doberman, etc. I have a cat myself so I fully understand dogs’ and cats’ everyday needs, I have the right mindset for understanding their behaviours and am equipped with basic training skills. I’m working part time so am reasonably flexible. I live in NG5 area, but I could travel further as I drive. I’m open to short notice booking too. My partner (who’s also a volunteer foster carer) is home most of the time, although I will be the main carer giver in terms of walking the dog or playing with them. The house has a fenced garden, a spare room for the dog if they prefer, and it’s ideal for dog that doesn’t cope with being alone very well. Except from our bed, doggies are welcome in all around the household.
“Alice and her Partner have been absolutely brilliant. They have looked after Winnie so well, even taken her out for longer and to the Pub for tea with them! They genuinely love your dog like you would want them to and they have handled her well when she can be a bit tricky around Cats! I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Paulina has done a fantastic job looking after my cat whilst I was on holiday. I’ve received daily updates with images every day. This really put my mind at easy that my cat is in safe hands and well cared for. Thanks again!”
“Shani was great with our cat Enid. She made sure Enid had the right portions of food and that her litter box was clean. The detailed photos Shani sent of Enid's food and litter were very reassuring. She was so lovely, even watered our plants and left a little gift for Enid. If Shani's available, I'd definitely recommend booking her.”
“Nicola did a 30 minute drop in for our dog Trudy. She came to meet us and Trudy a few days before. On the day she gave us a great update and info on her time with Trudy and also sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”
About: I've done a lot of cat sitting, usually over a long period of time. Additionally I've had a pet dog for the majority of my life. I'm currently at NTU in my second year. So I should have lots of spare time to walk and care for pets. I'm avaliable mostly in the evenings from 4 and in gaps during lectures and seminars I'm very accustomed to caring for pets, especially dogs and cats. So I will have no trouble feeding and walking pets in a pets owners home.
About: From growing up I have always loved animals from dogs and cats, caring for my friends and families animals when I have been asked to. I work as well as being a father, my times would mainly be in the mornings, but I am open to flexible availability upon request. I care for my own pets at home by feeding them, playing with them, comforting them, also if needed medicating them if they require it
About: I have grown up with cats my whole life, and have always been an animal lover. I have experience looking after not only my own pets but multiple other's dogs, cats, rabbits, and even birds I am currently not working, so have large amounts of availability to care for pets! I am happy to do house sittings, extended visits, pop-in visits, and walks as needed. I regularly go on foraging walks, and would love to bring your dogs along. I have a car with ample space to pickup and transport pets as necessary. I have a large secure garden full of green space to run around and explore - there is a friendly dog next door too, as well as my cats who frequent indoor and out .
“I can throughly recommend Yeru for looking after your pet. She came and spent an hour of her own time, to meet Mopsy (he doesn’t like strangers) and see if they would get along. He loved her as soon as they met, so I knew he would be okay. I went through everything Yeru needed to know about his care, and felt confident she would be okay with him. She did everything I asked of her, was clean and tidy and respectful of my property. On many days, she also spent longer with him then the 30 minutes that Rover allowed, I can only guess they were having fun together, and lost track of time. From the video and pictures she sent me on a twice daily basis, I could see my dog was happy and well. She’s polite and punctual and a really nice person, and I really hope she will be available the next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Hiu Yee did drop in visits to my place to take care of my cats while I was away for 2 weeks. She was very flexible, open to communication and did a really great job ! I would definitely engage in her service again.”
“Sarah is super calm and relaxed, our rescue dog Hazel is a bit anxious around new people but Sarah put her at ease and looked after her for us with plenty of updates and photos. Thanks so much Sarah! xx”
Sherwood cat owners share their Rover experiences
Linda, Looked after Jasper perfectly, keeping us up to date with photos and messages. We were very pleased with the attention and care which Linda gave to Jasper. We would thoroughly recommend Linda and would definitely choose for Jasper to be looked after by Linda again.
This was the first time I’ve ever used Rover or any type of cat sitting service as I’ve always used a cattery, so I was very nervous about what to expect. Laura was reassuring and very quick and responsive to my very last minute request one evening! She came to visit us for a chat the next morning and I felt instantly at ease when speaking to her. The booking process was smooth and easy. Laura was friendly, helpful and caring. She was brilliant with my cat who was nervous, and was able to give her the medication she needed morning and night with no issues. Laura sent pictures and videos after each visit which was so reassuring, and I will 100% be booking Laura again when we go away. My cat was happy and content when I returned home. Thanks so much Laura! 😊
Hannah did the best job that she could've with our very timid cat. She was happy to do a meetup in advance of the booking which was very useful. Hannah arrived on time for the bookings and was happy to follow the instructions we left and gave updates on Evie. Would book again if we go away!
Emma and Margot were amazing! We had some lovely updates and photos and Mo got lots of fuss, cuddles and playtime. They had to deal with a right stinky mess one of the days and a plant pot disaster another but they went above and beyond and we came home to a saved plant and clean carpets Thank you so much, will 100% recommend and be booking again xx
Kerenza was amazing while I was away, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She looked after my cat Pumpkin so well, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. She was very caring and attentive, and Pumpkin loved her, which means a lot to me. I also really appreciated the regular updates, she kept me informed with messages (and photos), which made it so much easier to relax while I was away. It was also really reassuring that she’s a vet trainee, which gave me extra confidence that Pumpkin was being looked after by someone knowledgeable and capable. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Rhiannon came for a pre-visit and collected the key. We talked about our cats needs and schedule. Rhiannon then arrived, on time, each day she was visiting Shadowfax and Wesley and sent us lots of photos and updates. Would definitely book Rhiannon again to look after Shadowfax and Wesley.
It was so lovely to have Donna come for drop in visits for our little Pickle !! She was very professional and friendly, and made sure that she had all the required caring information for him before the first visit. Extra photos via text and the house in great condition when we got back. Also just an all round fun and caring person. 10/10 would defo rebook!
Shani saved my holiday. I booked a cat sitter who was supposed to show up the day before I fly and never did. I found Shani and she came round the following day, could do everything I asked and send some amazing updates. Thank you for taking such good care of my cat!💜
