About: I have experience looking after dogs from puppies to 16 year olds. I love being around animals and am very active making me the perfect dog walker! I currently work from home so can be flexible with day time walks and have availability most evenings and weekends! Happy to work around your schedule Open plan space with a closed off balcony. Very close to nearby parks and walks that your dog will enjoy while they’re staying with me!
“Emma has been brilliant with our rescue dog Pippin. He warmed to her very quickly and she played with him and kept him active- which is exactly what we need. She has been very reliable and communicative, sending through great pictures and updates. We will Absolutely book with her again!”

“Heather was absolutely amazing with our elderly cat Saphira. It was great to know she’s is well looked after while we were away for few days. I highly recommend Heather as she was just wonderful with our pet. Thank you Heather.”

“Sophie is our favourite cat sitter and I’ll always recommend her. She sends detailed updates everyday with photos. Our cats are always relaxed with her and she doesn’t just feed and go, she stays with them and brushes them etc. also cleans up any mess and waters my plants. Couldn’t be happier :)”

“Isabel was brilliant with Simba, and just so flexible when our holiday didn’t go exactly to plan. I had daily photo updates and messages about how he was doing which was really lovely and helped me relax! Came home to a very happy boy. Would 100% recommend Isabel 🩷”

“Roshonara she’s just a fantastic person, professional and has amazing communication skills. It was my first time having a pet sitter over and I would definitely recommend her and call her again. She didn’t just came and fed my cat, she cleaned, and she spent sometime with him in the most professional and caring way you could ever imagine. If you need someone and it’s your first time and you not sure ,just book in with her! 💯💯💯💯💯💯thank you Roshonara !”

“Daniel took great care of our cats whilst we were on holiday, providing regular, much appreciated updates on their activity with photos. We returned to two happy & well fed girls. Along with feeding, Daniel took care of their litter tray (and accidents), played with them and gave them plenty of attention. Would recommend to anyone in need of drop-ins :)”


“Joe was absolutely fantastic. Really on it with communication and kept us up to date with our cats. I felt very at ease knowing he was taking care of them. He is incredibly personable and we will definitely be using him again. I would 100% recommend!”


About: We are Friday Timan and Tanaka Lusengo - and so excited you are considering us as your dog sitters or walkers! Having taken every opportunity we can to sit, walk and spend time with furry companions over the years, we know just how precious pets are and what an awesome responsibility it is to sit them. Frida (33) grew up in a home with a parent allergic to dogs and cats - so the dream of having a pet became true later in life when she lived in Canada and cared for a retired service dog when owners were away on recurring trips. She has also sat her close friends’ cocker-poo Charlie (pictured!) and loved every second. Charlie lost his vision a couple of years ago, so special precautions must be taken to make him comfortable around other dogs. Slow and steady wins the race. Tanaka (32) grew up in Peckham and know all the best parks and walks like the back of his hand. The love for dogs came later in life, when he began sitting his mates dogs when they needed. Most recently, Tanaka has been sitting Maple, a vivacious puppy wispa who just adores him and all the training they do together. We are both working from home, so we can be with your pet 24/7. We live together, and both enjoy being active outside - which suits taking dogs on walks and doing training activities as instructed by you. We’re 5 minutes from two seizable parks (Goose Green and Peckham Rye Park) where we’d love to take your dog to walk and play. We’re available weekends too - just let us know what weekends you need support with. We’re used to having dogs in our home, so we set up a space for a dog bed, food bowl and water bowl. In our home we make sure all poisonous substances are placed high up so they can’t be reached by curious little ones.

About: My husband and I lost our beautiful 13 year old Weimaraner a couple of years ago and still miss her so much. While not quite ready to get another dog just yet, I hugely miss having a dog around the home and going for long walks. Rover seems like a great alternative right now. I work from home every day and decide my own schedule for breaks and walks etc. At weekends we like to go for long walks either in London parks or by the coast. We have a communal fenced off area at the back and there is a huge park at the end of our road. We don’t currently have any other pets and we don’t have children.

About: Ive had and grown up with dogs my whole life, I have two golden retrievers at home who I miss lots, and would love to share my dog love with some beautiful london pups! Available for walks, house sits, day care! Your dogs will be in trusted hands :) I can be super flexible with looking after dogs / taking them for long walks and just just having lots of fun playing in the park with them! Dog sits, weekends sits, walks in the park! Will took wonderful care of them. I can easily follow whatever you wish your dogs schedule to be! Your pups safety is my priority! I can be flex with how many walks they need and cater to all their needs ❤️
“Christina was wonderful with our girls (a viz and a gsp) on her drop in visits. She is confident, calm, and clearly experienced with high-energy breeds, which immediately put us at ease. She shared great photos and videos… the girls clearly loved both the play and cuddles. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs - they hadn’t gone on a stealing spree either! We wouldn’t hesitate to book Christina again and would highly recommend her.”

“Susan had a wonderful time with Rukiye. I was sent regular updates, photos, videos and could see that she was happy, well cared for and, frankly, spoilt! I think having me home is a bit of a disappointment to her. I will definitely request her again.”
About: Ive looked after cats and dogs my whole life and have been doing it professionally for the past 4 years and absolutely love it! I’ve had animals that have needed medication, lots of attention, not that much attention and everything in between. Every animal is different and I try my very best to accommodate to whatever they need 🫶 I work a Monday-Friday job and get home at around 4.30pm which means I have all evening and weekends to give all the attention they need. I live in a first floor up which is very cosy and have lots of soft blankets etc for your pet to feel comfortable in.

About: I can't remember a time when I wasn't caring for animals. With over 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, birds (you name it) I treat every pet as if it were my own. That includes your beloved companion, who'll get my undivided care and attention. Beyond household pets, I've worked in more formal animal-handling settings. At the zoo, I assisted full-time keepers with husbandry tasks like preparing enrichment items and food, and cleaning habitats. In my spare time, I volunteer at Paws and Pause Dog Daycare because I simply can't get enough of dogs (though I love caring for every animal, no matter how many legs, beaks, or wings it has). I've handled young puppies and kittens, small pets and very large ones, and senior animals with special needs so I'm confident I can fully care for yours. I bring high standards and professionalism to this work because I know how much your pet means to you. They're family, and I'll treat them like my own. Feel free to reach out and we can set up a first meet! I currently work part-time, which makes me extremely flexible and available throughout the day for your pet. I offer walks, home visits, and overnight stays in your home, and I structure my day around your pet's routine. I'm available for early morning walks before work, lunchtime visits to break up your pet's day, and evening walks to wind down. Weekends are wide open too for me. I'm also reachable throughout the day for updates and photos, so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing. Because I care for pets in your home rather than mine, my first priority is respecting your space and keeping your pet comfortable in the environment they already know and trust. Before our first booking, I'll walk through your pet's routine, feeding instructions, medications, and any house rules. During visits and stays, I stick closely to your pet's normal schedule, keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times, and stay alert to anything out of the ordinary including appetite, energy, and bathroom habits so I can flag concerns early. On walks, I keep pets leashed and under control, choose safe routes, and adjust for weather, age, and energy level. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own: tidy, secure, and exactly how you left it. And I keep you updated throughout with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe and happy.
About: I am from Swansea and have lived in London for three years. At home, I grew up with my Labrador Tilly who is my best friend, and now her younger sister Nala too. Since moving to London, I have been missing my dogs very much, as I only get to see them a few times a year. So I would love to use Rover as a way to be around dogs again whilst I am in London! I am currently a student, training to be a primary school teacher. So I have plenty of spare time to play with your pet and take them on some long walks! I enjoy being outdoors a lot, so your pet would be getting a lot of fresh air and play time outside. I am happy to travel around London to stay in your home to care for your pet, as i would like them to be as comfortable as possible in their environment.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up caring for dogs of all different personalities and sizes. I have three dogs of my own at home, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playing with and caring for them. I’m patient, responsible and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a slower, relaxed walk. I’d treat every dog I look after as if they were my own. I am currently at University so have plenty of free time everyday to look after your dogs. I tend to prefer walking on weekdays and am happy to look after your animals when you are away and give them the love they need. I have friends and company around me all the time so I can socialise your dog and keep them happy. I am happy to walk them in quieter areas if needed and super happy to take them on long walks where they are stimulated yet comfortable.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Southwark is £13

Abi was absolutely super with Gloria! She sent us loads of updates and even emptied our bin before we came back from holiday. She was really thorough when she came round to meet Glo and we had no worries at all leaving the cat with a new person. Especially knowledgeable if you have an indoor cat. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Abi! X

Steven was a fantastic sitter. He sent regular updates of the cats every day and made sure they were fed and played with. My flight also got cancelled upon my return and so Steven stepped in for an additional day to make sure my cats were looked after. 10/10 cat sitter. I would use him again in a heartbeat.

Amanda was absolutely amazing looking after Misha and Barney. She was very caring, loving and playful with the boys as upon my return I could see how relaxed and happy they were. Amanda’s attention to detail, interaction with the cats, and daily updates went a long way in reassuring me of the fact the boys were happy and enjoying Amanda’s company. Cannot recommend Amanda enough. Dear Amanda, both Misha 🐾 🐈 and Barney🐾🐈⬛ say thank you! 🌷🌷🌷

We are so lucky to have Raffaella taking care of our baby. She often spends a little extra time with her, playing and giving her lots of attention, and we can always tell how happy and comfortable our cat is with her. Raffaella is incredibly responsible and thoughtful. She keeps us updated with photos, videos, messages and even video calls, which gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. We completely trust her and feel so reassured knowing she is there. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable and truly caring ♥️

Daniel took great care of our cats whilst we were on holiday, providing regular, much appreciated updates on their activity with photos. We returned to two happy & well fed girls. Along with feeding, Daniel took care of their litter tray (and accidents), played with them and gave them plenty of attention. Would recommend to anyone in need of drop-ins :)

It was lovely meeting Natasha, and she took great care of my very fluffy ginger cat Milo while we were away for a few days. Milo looked well looked after upon our return, as well as the litter box and house in general. Thank you Natasha for looking after Milo!! 😸

This was my first experience using a cat sitter, and Claire made me feel completely at ease. She was very communicative and attentive to the details throughout, spent time and played with the cat, and he was clearly very well cared for. I’d happily recommend her

Tiziana was absolutely wonderful with our cats! 🐈⬛💕 Reliable, caring and attentive, she kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to three very happy cats! Would definitely recommend her and happily book her again.
