About: My name is Eva, I'm 35 and I absolutely love dogs! I’ve got lots of experience over the years - walking and sitting dogs through Rover for over 6 years - please check out my reviews! And sadly, I recently lost my dog, a Norwich terrier that my family had from a puppy to her amazing 16.5 years so I understand just how much love and attention dogs need at every stage of life. Whether you’re looking for dog walking, drop-in visits, or sitting services, I’d be happy to help you. Dogs naturally gravitate towards me. I'm confident with dogs of all sizes and all ages. Very experienced with caring for senior dogs and cats, can administer medicine and always be gente with them. I also love taking care of puppies and young dogs! Every dog is unique and if it's necessary I always spend the extra time to earn the dog's trust and make it comfortable with a new person. I also sponsor a guide dog in training through Guide Dog's UK for the past 3 years. Security is important. I understand very well how to handle a dog while walking on the street and busy areas with traffic, people, other dogs and everything that can possibly distract the dog. I also know how owners of small breeds feel when seeing a huge dog coming up to them. I would be delighted to take your dog for a nice long walk, perhaps run a little bit in a park if it's full of energy or maybe a slow walk somewhere nice if it's a bit older or recovering..? Totally depends what your dog prefers :) If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks, Eva I am fairly available. I live in Trumpington so it's easy for me if you are from that area too but I have a bike so I can get around Cambridge easily. I am not allowed to keep dogs at my rental property for now. That's why I can only offer dogwalking or dogsitting at your property.
About: Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, each bringing unique experiences and joys. I’ve owned cats, whose independent yet affectionate nature taught me patience, and dogs, whose loyalty and energy made them delightful companions. My love for animals expanded to include bearded dragons, requiring careful attention to their reptilian needs, as well as fish, a gerbil, and birds, each adding their own charm. I’ve also raised chickens, enjoying their quirky personalities and the daily reward of fresh eggs. One of my most memorable moments was rescuing a robin, deepening my appreciation for wildlife and the bond between humans and animals. Pet care remains an important part of my life, even while balancing my current schedule at university. My cat, Coco, stays at my family home, where she’s well cared for, but I make it a priority to visit regularly. During these visits, I ensure her needs are met and spend quality time with her, strengthening our bond. These moments not only allow me to care for Coco but also provide a comforting break from university life, reminding me of the joy and grounding presence pets bring. When caring for pets in my own home or someone else’s, I prioritize their well-being and happiness, offering attentive and compassionate care tailored to their needs. I ensure they are fed on schedule with the appropriate diet, have clean living spaces, and receive plenty of interaction, whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply comforting companionship. I’m experienced with a range of animals, from cats and dogs to reptiles and birds, so I understand the unique care requirements of each species. Additionally, I’m attentive to their health, keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or condition that might need attention. Whether it’s my own pet or someone else’s, I approach every animal with the same level of love and dedication, creating a safe and happy environment for them.

About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and genuine love for animals. I work from home, so I can provide care throughout the day, including for pets that need extra attention or companionship. I'm also able to drive, making it easy for me to travel to your home. I've cared for pets with separation anxiety, high-energy dogs that need long walks, and pets that require more frequent care and supervision. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Working from home allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, regular playtime, companionship, or extra supervision, I can easily adapt to their routine. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety, so I'm happy to spend extra time with them to help them feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Every pet receives plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. While I'm unable to host pets in my own home because I have a cat, I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your pet in their usual routine. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love while you're away.

About: With 25 years of hands-on experience, I've grown up caring for a wide range of animals — from Golden Retrievers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to cats and other companion pets. Over the decades, this has meant everything from daily walks and grooming to managing feeding schedules, vet visits, and the different temperaments and needs each breed brings, giving me a deep, practical understanding of how to keep pets happy and healthy across all life stages I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule that isn't particularly busy with meetings. I can fit in 2–3 dog visits or walks throughout the day, including regular check-ins for feeding and potty breaks." I have a fenced garden and I can take care of all your dogs needs, and I follow any feeding, medication, or routine instructions closely.

“So grateful we found Georgia - she looked after our people-shy Schnauzer for a drop-in-and-out-day and was so incredibly understanding and patient with her (and us!). From dropping in a for a first meeting and staying a while to wait for Winter to get comfortable with her, to learning the games and snack-strategies we use to get her comfortable, and even patiently and slowly persisting on the day until Winter was comfortable to play with her (unprecedented for her to play with a new person so soon!). I highly recommend Georgia for her understanding, calm and thoughtful approach, and lovely presence.”

“From the first few moments meeting Danuta, we felt at ease that our cats were in good hands. She was professional and caring of their personal needs. We were so impressed with the daily reports, cleaning & photos sent to us too! We will definitely use her service again when needed.”

About: My name is Kinga and like many people I grew up with dogs and have had dogs throughout my adult life. I love living with dogs, looking after them and simply being around them.I have experience of caring for dogs of various breeds such as Greyhounds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Labradoodle, German Shepherds, and Cane Corso, to name a few. As a dog owner I know how important it is to have your pet looked after by someone who is reliable, dependable and trustworthy and who will make your pet feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m happy to help look after your pet/s whilst you go away or when you are at work. I’m patient with animals and confident with looking after dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m working from home and therefore will be around to look after your pet 24/7 and can be flexible to accommodate your pets needs. I love walks with the dogs and snuggles on the sofa. I have a medium size, secure garden where your pet can chill in the sun or have a playtime. The safety of your dog is paramount when out and about thus I am mindful what areas and walks I chose.
About: Having grown up with more than 6 cats (Burmese, tabby, and gingers) and 2 dogs (lab and yorkshire terrier)- as well as being a part time nanny for families with dogs for over three years- I am very experienced and equipped to care for your dog/s and cat/s needs. No matter the breed/personality/size/age I can and have cared for dogs as small snappy and sassy as chihuahuas and big, intelligent and energetic as border collies!! I also am very happy to care for more than one dog/cat as well as more attentive dogs such as senior dogs and/or puppies. My fun, compassionate, and nature loving personality will ensure great treatment and care of your pets and I cant wait to care for more amazing cats and dogs!! I am currently a university student in Cambridge studying law so I have a lot of flexibility with my timetable to fit into your pets caring needs. My availability usually tends to be every evening and weekend- although during this summer I am free mostly every day! Safety and trust is so important when caring for pets- to ensure your dogs/cats are safe I always take measures such as opening doors slowly to avoid escapes or injuries, using backup leads on walks incase of breakage, avoiding other dogs during dog walks, keeping medication and human food out of reach for pets, ensuring pets don’t overheat in the sun, and so much more! Also meeting the dogs/cats for the first time is so important for setting up the trust relationship- so i always make sure i am calm- go down to the dogs level- and allow them to come to me!!
“Jirka took great care of my cat through the drop in visits. He was quick and easy to communicate before and during the visit and also followed my cat’s care instructions. I would have him look after my cat again!”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - South Cambridgeshire
Theodora stepped in at very short notice because our regular cat sitter is ill at the moment. The service was really excellent and friendly, with regular photos and a happy cat (and fish). Theodora definitely has a way with cats, since Sky took to her immediately, which is highly unusual for him. Very highly recommended!
Charlotte was exceptionally good at looking after Mochi. We had regular updates and pictures showing that our nervous cat soon warmed to her new friend. Mochi was in the best mood on our return and had clearly been well looked after. Would definitely have Charlotte cat sit again.

Sarah was fantastic, really tried to get our shy kitty to interact, even swapping round her visit order so she could be there at his meal time and tempt him to play afterwards. Even when he didn't want to emerge for more than a cursory sniff, she hid treats for him so he had something to puzzle out later on. He just about trusted her after a week and gave in to cuddles, so we would happily recommend.

Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was kind, attentive and affectionate, and made sure all of our cat's needs and wants were taken care of. Her daily updates and photos gave us complete peace of mind, and our cat seemed happy, relaxed, and very comfortable with her. Elizabeth was professional, punctual, and completely reliable throughout. Everything went smoothly. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

Josephine did a wonderful job looking after our cat Mollie while we were away for a week. She worked hard to build a relationship with our shy and sometimes grumpy cat, and was brilliant with communication and following our instructions. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!

Freya was wonderful! She cared for Muffin beautifully and kept us up-to-date on how he was doing with lots of photos. She even watered my plants which were looking thirsty in the warm weather! Muffin had a lovely time with her and we will definitely book in with Freya again in the future 🥰

Paloma did a fantastic job looking after my cats during the latest heat wave. She's very attentive and quick to respond to messages. Even my shy girl took to her quickly and she often hides behind the sofa when people she doesn't know come into the house. I'd highly recommend Paloma and will be using her services again.
