“I highly recommend Donna! They were reliable, caring, and took great care of my (3!) cats while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in good hands. Thank you!”
“The cats were very well looked after by Gosia on our recent trip. She is so kind and caring. She is responsible and organised - which really puts my mind at ease leaving them. We got photos and feedback for each visit which was really helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gosia.”
“Vivian took care of our two cats for 9 days. Throughout this entire period, I received up-to-date information if anything looked disturbing, photos of cats and information about visits. Great communication. When we came back home, we found the cats fed, calm, and the house was clean. She's a fantastic pet sitter. I would highly recommend.”
“caring, conscientious, reliable and fun! I had to throw Shani in the deep end as I had a sudden work thing meaning I was away from home for 2 days. She got on with it and cared well for my "characterful" cavachon and also unoffically cleaned up after my cat! I have rebooked and hope to sort a semi-regular arrangement. A real find!”
“We booked Olivia with short notice to help us with our dog Phoebe during the day while we were at work, she gave great communication throughout sending daily updates, was flexible with her timings and Phoebe absolutely loved her! definitely recommend 😊”
“Yi-Fan was absolutely lovely and provided a professional service in taking care of my beloved cat with daily updates. I was super impressed with how my Charles was at ease with them when they interacted (normally, she doesn't like strangers). This reassured me immensely for future bookings. Thanks, Yi-Fan!”
“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!”
About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from pets boarding in a different room I am currently off work until the middle of July, so I will be at home most of the day. This means I can provide regular walks, plenty of playtime, toilet breaks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date with messages and pictures
About: I provide dog walking, check-ins, and both dog and cat sitting. I had over 10 years of experience taking care of my own dogs, and experience dog and cat sitting others’ pets. I’m happy to care for young or old pets, as long as you let me know your pet’s needs. I’m currently a student with a lot of summer availability, so my schedule is flexible to take care of your pets throughout the week. :) I’m currently working part time and so I have plenty of free time over the summer to take care of your pets, as long as notice is given :) I am happy to adapt to your pet’s schedule, take them out as needed for them, and match whatever their energy level may be
“Emma was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Emma made it a great experience. She had great communication, gave daily updates and provided some really lovely photos for us to look at. I would highly recommend Emma to friends and would definitely choose her again. Thank you! x”
“It was an absolute pleasure to meet Jo. She is reliable, friendly and punctual.From the first contact, meet and greet and actual visit all went well and smooth! Thanks Jo for the photos and attention to detail. You made us feel relaxed and able to have stress free days away from home knowing that Zeeno is well cared for!”
About: 🔖 Full Enhanced DBS Certificate (+ registered on the Update Service), June 2025 🐕❤️ Full Insurance for Pet Care Services, Present ❶ About Me Hi! I'm Weronika, a highly reliable and knowledgeable Pet Sitter and Dog Walker with over 20 years of hands-on experience looking after animals, both professionally and personally. As a deeply caring and empathic person, I’m also a current Graduate Entry Medicine student. My lifelong passion for animals began at age 5, when my family first started providing temporary, emergency home care for rescue dogs. We cared for pets in severe physical and emotional distress, ranging in size from tiny Terriers to remarkable Caucasian Shepherds. This experience further deepened my passion for and commitment to caring for animals, teaching me patience, empathy, and expert handling. I’ve since worked with pets of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, and truly believe that any animal can thrive when their needs are properly understood and met. I’m comfortable and confident caring for pets of all kinds and sizes. As a former owner of eight dogs, I know how much of a difference trusted support can make - whether you need a reliable walker, an expert pet sitter during long-term travel, or attentive in-home care whilst you're at work. Even as I'm starting my training to become a doctor, I remain committed to offering compassionate, evidence-based care to all pets. I continuously engage in further CPD-accredited training in animal behaviour and care to ensure my services stay effective and informed with the current specialist knowledge. ❷ Additional Services Offered • Dog Training & Behavioural Support - Please contact me to discuss → currently gathering funds for a Professional Qualification as a Dog Trainer; I am attending CPD-accredited courses on the subject in the meantime -- I'm more than happy to use my current expertise to help with training your dog or any behavioural difficulties. 💡 Travel costs vary based on distance - I cycle 🚲 to help reduce these costs and am happy to discuss a fair total based on your location. Please note I do not provide boarding services at this point in time but am happy to dicuss Day Care & 24h House Sitting at the Owner's House. 🏠 ❸ Education & Professional Qualifications ✔︎ Higher Education: • BA Criminology (2021) • MSc Clinical Mental Health Sciences (2022) • MSc Psychology (Conversion, 2023) • BSMS Medicine (2025 - Ongoing) ✔︎ Pet First Aid & Safety: • Pet First Aid and CPR (2025, CPD Accredited) • Pet First Aid for Bleeding & Choking (2025) • Common Household Poisons for Pets (2024) • Health and Safety During Dog Walks (2024) ✔︎ Behaviour & Training: • Dog Health: Dog Breeds and Basic Anatomy (2025, CPD Accredited) • Dog Training Essentials (2025, CPD Accredited) 📚 Current Studies: • Level 3 Award in Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare - AIM Qualification • Diploma in Veterinary Medicine (CPD Accredited) ✔︎ I have experience in caring for: • Dogs (Small, Medium, Large, Very Large Breed) • Cats • Birds (Cockatoo) • Fish (Aquariums/Tanks of various sizes) • Reptiles (Turtle, Chameleon, Bearded Dragon, Gecko) • Small Pets (Hamster, Gerbil, Mouse, Rat, Guinea Pig, Rabbit, Chinchilla) • Other (Tarantula, Phasmatodea aka Stick Insects, Phylliidae aka Leaf Insects) 24/7 availability - as a mature student, I will happily fully adapt based on your schedule and the pet's needs! I can also accomodate any urgent, late notice service requests. I cycle to efficiently commute between owner's houses and to reduce any additional costs 🚲 🏠 At your home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping everything as familiar and routine as possible. I follow your instructions closely - including regarding the feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, bedtime routines, and any quirks your pet might have. I make sure they get plenty of affection, playtime, and calm companionship. I also keep your home clean and tidy, ensuring your pet is safe to roam around and explore their usual territory. You’ll receive regular updates with photos so you always know how things are going. I am more than happy to follow any training and behavioural requirements based on your instructions, including the use of tools and specific collars/leads/etc. before heading out for a walk with your pet (if requested).
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 10 and have always been involved in caring for them. I’ve helped raise and train puppies, including feeding, walking, playtime, and teaching basic routines. As all of my family have dogs, I’m very comfortable around different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand how important it is to give them patience, attention, and care. I currently work full time, but have Thursday and Sundays off with the chance of finishing the rest of the days at 15:30pm. From Thursday to Sunday I can board the dogs from 5pm. I have a large outdoor space at the back of my flat which is perfect for dogs to safely enjoy freedom, playtime, exercise, and relaxation. I will provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and well looked after. We have space in the flat for a crate if this is what your dog needs.

This was the second time Olaya took care of my cat Mimi. Olaya is so very conscientious, friendly, and just amazing with cats. Mimi trusts and opens up to Olaya easily. Olaya is also very gentle with cats and I’m very grateful that she is very diligent about things like locking doors and handling the keys. She also sent me any photos during the sit which I appreciated. I highly recommend Olaya.
Olivia came to meet my dog before her drop ins. She asked many questions in order to understand our needs and has been professional , from initially meeting Walter to the latest drop in. Each visit I received a check in report and follow up messages. She handled my recently rehomed dog like her own. Calming, soothing, and befriending Walter while providing him with reassurance. It was definitely noticeable in Walter's behaviour the second day I arrived home and I can't thank her enough. I wouldn't hesitate to book Olivia again and can only hope she says yes.
She did a great job looking after our two cats! She was very considerate and communicative, and you can tell she loves cats! She even made sure to ask about something we had forgotten to go over or include on the instructions. We will definitely be booking her again!
I cannot be more happy with the service Katherine provides. As a nervous cat owner, she made me feel reassured that they were being well loved and looked after. I received detailed updates and lots of photos of my cats, i will definitely want her to look after my cats in the future. Highly recommend
Yifan took great care of our cat Muffin for a few days. Muffin is very timid and takes a while to warm up to people but they were best friends in no time! It was amazing to see how much care and love she had for our cat. All instructions were followed and everything kept clean and tidy. The communication was excellent - we were kept informed throughout and with every visit came lots of pictures and notes on how Muffin was getting on. Muffin was well looked after, had lots of play and cuddles. She was really relaxed and truly happy with Yifan! We will gladly rebook with Yifan. She was reliable, on time and followed Muffin’s schedule. We appreciate all the love and care :D

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.
