House Sitting South Gloucestershire

“Eleanor is an absolutely lovely young lady who is polite and respectful. But most importantly my grumpy old Cocker Spaniel Bailey immediately took to Eleanor and would sit by her side, even when we were in the same room - and that, to me, says a lot about a person. I would highly recommend Eleanor to anyone needing a loving, caring pet sitter. ❤️”

“Both my boys had a great time with Erin. She was very prompt clearly loved animals and I would definitely use her again and recommend her to all Thank you for covering at such short notice”

“Siobhan and Hannah were both very friendly from the outset. They responded to my request on the app quickly and put us at ease straightaway. We have quite a quirky dog but Siobhan and Hannah were happy to take her specific needs on board so I felt really happy leaving our dog with them. They sent photo updates throughout the day and left the house as they had found it. Our dog loves them. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone.”

“Our dogs are not easy to look after and they (and we!) were left even more anxious than usual after a negative experience with another sitter recently, but at the initial meeting our Yorkie, Dexter, took to Millie straight away and Dinah, our over excitable Shar Pei cross, settled down more quickly after Millie arrived than she does with some of our oldest friends! When it came to the booking itself, Millie put our minds at rest by arriving early to let the dogs settle in with her before we left. She kept to their normal routine as instructed, gave Dinah her meds when she had a little allergic flare up, and updated us throughout. We were able to relax knowing they were in safe hands and we came home to two happy and comfy pups! Millie was brilliant, we can't thank her enough and will definitely be in touch next time we're thinking of going away!”

“Emma is a real star! She kindly agreed to look after our Dalmatian called Blue for the day so we could go to Wimbledon. She updated us throughout the day which put our mind at rest. Blue had a wonderful day with Emma and didn’t even hear us parking up which just proves how relaxed he was with Emma. We will definitely ask Emma to look after Blue again . Thank you! 🥰”

“Jess has been an absolute lifesaver! When we had to cancel our dog sitters at the last minute due to our puppy showing early signs of being on heat, we were in a tight spot. The vet recommended maintaining a normal routine, so we urgently needed an in-house sitter. Thankfully, Jess came to the rescue, showing remarkable flexibility despite the short notice. From the moment our puppy met her, there was an instant connection. Despite it being our first time leaving her for an extended period, we felt completely at ease knowing Jess was taking care of her. Not only did she go above and beyond in caring for for our puppy but she even took the initiative to hoover the floors before we returned! We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Without a doubt, we'll be rebooking Jess for future pet-sitting needs!”

“Gigi took excellent care of our dog Puck & cat Bob, keeping us well updated and left the house spotless! Puck needed medication while we were away and she sorted it just fine.”

About: Hello! I'm someone with a lifelong love for animals, having shared my home with cats and fish throughout the years. My passion for animals runs deep, shaping a significant part of who I am. I offer both visits (always including cuddles) & overnight stays. Whatever you and your furry baby needs.

“Georgia was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Fergie, while we were away. From the moment she picked him up, she kept us constantly updated with thoughtful messages, photos, and videos, which honestly gave us so much peace of mind on holiday. She followed his routine so carefully, asked great questions about his routine. We were especially impressed that she noticed and respected all the little things we’ve been working on with him, from toilet training cues to waiting patiently before meals. She even commented on how well-trained he was and how much work had clearly gone into him, which meant a lot to us. Fergie absolutely adored her. It was obvious from every update how relaxed, happy, playful, and cuddly he felt with her. Georgia went above and beyond by making lick mats for him, trying out his harness, taking him on walks, and giving him loads of affection and attention throughout the day. She genuinely seemed to love spending time with him, and that really showed. We came home to a happy, settled puppy and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’d trust Georgia with Fergie again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, attentive, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs. 💕”

About: I’ve never met a pet I didn't like! Growing up in a house full of diverse animals, from energetic pups to unique reptiles, has taught me how to bond with all kinds of personalities and species. I understand that every pet has a distinct "voice," and I pride myself on being a patient, observant caregiver who treats every animal like a member of my own family. I offer dedicated dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. For High-Energy Dogs: I love hitting the trails for long, vigorous walks or runs to ensure your pup burns off that extra steam. For Seniors or Shy Pets: I’m experienced in providing gentle companionship and following specific medication or feeding schedules. Beyond Dogs: Thanks to my background, I am also very comfortable caring for cats, small mammals, and reptiles. I work full time but my job has a different schedule every month, and I've got plenty of days off during the week and some availability during work days. I get my schedule one month in advance so I can commit to long term bookings and I've always got some availability for last minute bookings. I'll take care of any pets as if they're my own. With all the care and love they'll need. I've got plenty of experience to know what they'll want to feel safe and comfortable.

“Laura has stayed to look after our (not so simple) cat Winnie twice now. She’s been great both times, keeping us updated with very welcomed photos. We will be using Laura again in the near future. ”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember. With a genuine love of spending time and caring for them, I grew up around my Aunt who would always have two dogs by her side. Usually a German Shepherd and a Labrador, so I am very comfortable with larger breeds and learned how important, exercise, attention and consistency is for a happy dog. I myself am a very energetic person, I enjoy people, animals and company, this is one of the many reasons I wanted to sign up to Rover. For the past two years I've been regularly looking after my friends poodle, Luna, who you may see in some of my photos. Unfortunately, my friend moved back to London a few months ago and I have found myself missing having the occasional furry friend. Caring for Luna including walking, feeding, playing with her, generally just making sure she was happy while her owner was away (As well as keeping her away from any open bins). Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime or simply keeping a dog company while their owner is out, I'm happy to adapt to their routine and needs :) I am comfortable with both small and large breeds. The largest size I'm able to walk is around Labrador or German Shepherd size and the dogs would need to be reasonably lead trained. I have a spinal condition, so very large dogs that strongly pull on the lead wouldn't be suitable for me to handle safely. I work on a rotating rota (9-5) and receive my schedule about a month in advance. So I usually know my availability several weeks ahead of time. I have two days off each week, which are usually during the week rather than weekends. On those days I'm typically available from morning through to afternoon or early evening. At the moment I've listed my main availability as Monday - Friday, as weekends tend to be busier for me. I can sometimes offer evening visits or occasional overnight stays, particularly when I have two days off in a row. Daytime care hours would roughly be between 8am-6pm dependant on how far I'm travelling. I can only offer pet sitting at the owners home. If we've already built a good relationship, I am always happy to discuss occasional flexibility where possible. When caring for pets, their safety and comfort always comes first. I will always make sure to follow any instructions left by the owner so that the pet can keep to their normal routine as much as possible. Especially if they are young. In the owners home I will ensure that their is fresh water available and they are fed according to their schedule and receive plenty of attention, playtime and exercise (where appropriate). As well as making sure that I am careful when entering and/or leaving a home, so that pets won't slip out. I am also more than happy to provide updates via photos and/or videos to the owners throughout my stay for reassurance that their pet is happy and well looked after.

“Vivian helped us look after Arthur during the Christmas period. She was lovely and caring, and Arthur really enjoyed her company. She kept us updated with photos and videos several times a day. Arthur would love to spend more time with her.”

“Megan was wonderful with our Schnauzer. He can be quite shy, but he warmed to her fast, and she clearly looked after him well :) Thank you Megan!”

About: I have grown up in a family home with two cavapoos. I absolutely love animals, they bring me so much joy and they deserve the same in return 🐾 I am a personal trainer working Tuesday - Friday. I have lots of time during my week that I want to dedicate to my other love of looking after animals. I’ve always grown up with pets so I have lots of experience. I currently have a few pets that I look after regularly and would like to share my love to more 🐾 I have a secure garden and home where your pet will be well looked after and taken care of. I live on my own so it is always clean and tidy, the perfect pawtel for a fur baby. I am home outside of my working hours

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and proud cat parent to two lovely cats of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone caring, trustworthy, and patient to look after your pets. I’ve always been happiest around animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know all their little personalities — whether that’s playful zoomies, cuddle time on the sofa, or giving nervous pets the space and reassurance they need to feel comfortable. I’m reliable, friendly, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just a calm companion nearby, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am available to come you your home early mornings before 7:30 and evenings after 18:00 during the week, as well as any time during weekends. I care for pets by following their usual routines, giving plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their own homes

“Lana was very good with Sabre, she took him on two walks when she really didn’t need to, which we really appreciated and also made sure he was fed when he was getting abit restless, she also washed up his bowls which was a really nice touch! Thank you Lana for looking after my son 🐾”

About: Thomas here, I’ve had pets of many kinds growing up, always loved playing with them and taking care of them. Recently my girlfriend Claire and I have done house-sitting for many friends which includes cats and dogs, sometimes two pets at a time (although happy to do more than two if needed). We’ve followed their feeding and walking schedules as needed, and always checked in with owners whilst they’re away. Any questions just ask :) Between my girlfriend and I, we both work from home a few days a week so often will have full-time coverage at home between us. We take turns doing dog walks in the morning, and evening. We have office hours so can always be sure to maintain a good feeding schedule in both mornings and evenings, along with a walking routine or any other tasks needed in your pet’s schedule. It varies from pet to pet, so we always ensure to adhere to any specific requirements from the owner first (medication, feeding requirements, routine). For some pets, that could be barring off certain areas to avoid hazards, or keeping certain things out of reach. Ensuring a good distance from other pets when out on walks if needed, monitoring for any worrying or unusual behaviours. Claire’s parents have a sensitive dog, so she is used to adapting to the pet’s behaviours to make them comfortable.
