“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: Hi! My name is Brenna and I’ve been looking after animals of all kinds for 11 years and counting! Personally, I’ve had dogs, lizards, and fish but I’ve looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, birds, and fish. I love animals of all sizes and personalities and make it my mission to care for them as if they were my own. I work part time, my schedule is Mondays, Tuesdays, and half days Fridays but I’m available all day Wednesdays, Thursdays, and weekends and open to keeping any schedule required. I always take care to follow any instructions to a tee and I like to go the extra mile for pets. I’m careful of locking doors or gates and triple checking I’ve done so so that nobody takes an impromptu walk! On walks, I make sure to keep a close eye on our surroundings looking for anything that may cause issue so that I can avoid it and make sure we have a fun but uneventful time out.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a kid, I had Pug/ Collies/ Golden retrievers and Maltese. I had experienced taking care of senior dogs. Working 9-5 full time weekdays in a pet friendly co-working space. Monday to Wednesday - office days. Thursday to Friday - working from home. Welcome boarding/ Day sit/ dog walk Thursday to Sunday. I am 3 mins away from a park for walks up to three times a day. I can offer basic training to puppies. I have a fenced garden in the flat.
“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.”
“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.”

About: Hello! 🐾 I'm your pet-loving neighbour in South London and I'd be delighted to care for your four-legged companion! I connect with animals very deeply and enjoy their company and the little adventures we go on together. We had two cats and one small dog at home when I was growing up and I loved spending time with them. I went on to work in a pet shop as one of my first jobs and in the past five years, working as a pet sitter in homes across the UK. During that time, I looked after indoor and outdoor cats (Maine coon cats, Bengal cats and everything in between), dogs and senior dogs (Wippets, dauchunds, chihuahuas, labradors). And I also looked after chickens, ducks and on one occasion, three cheeky ferrets! I only care for one pet at a time and I have a flexible schedule to adapt around your pet's timetable. I can care for your cat or dog at any life stage and am experienced with giving medication to sick cats and dogs. Feel free to reach out to me with your request or any questions you may have before booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend 🐈⬛ I'm currently working part-time as a personal assistant and visual artist so my schedule is flexible and I can adapt around your pet's timetable and needs! I usually visit the home of your pet but on the odd occasion, if you need to have an overnight stay in my home, I live on the second floor in a secure apartment with no other pets.
“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 !”

“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!”

“The first week of hopefully a very long friendship between Naomi and my dog Poppy couldn't have gone any better. I was a bit apprehensive to leave my baby with someone completely new but Naomi kindly agreed to a meet and greet and I knew straight away that they would get on brilliantly. Poppy loves her and im so reassured seeing the River cards everyday. I've not seen Poppy look happier! Thank you Naomi!”

“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 :)”

“Peter is an amazing dog-sitter, who is very caring, reliable and attentive. Our dog loves spending time with him, and we always get plenty of updates and photos. Highly recommend!”

Southwark pet owners share their Rover experiences
Tiarna has been a fantastic cat sitter and has helped us out on several occasions. She was happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand, and we all agreed she would be a perfect fit. The cats warmed to her straight away, which is especially rare for one of ours as he’s usually very reserved. Her communication has been excellent throughout, and we’ve been very happy with the care she’s provided. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat or pet sitter.

Mara was amazing with our two cats while we were away, sending lots of photos. Our cats are usually very shy with new people particularly as we had just moved house and they are adjusting but they absolutely loved Mara. Will definitely be booking with her again next time we are away!

I am very happy to have found Blaise as a carer for our elderly poodle. She is warm, knowledgeable, able to read his needs and empathetic. He has taken to her quickly. Blaise is proactive, keeps me well informed with messages and photos of her visits and competent in administering medication. I feel confident about leaving our pet in her care.
Mariam is super professional and reliable and Storme our kitten really loves her. We’ve booked Mariam like 3 times now and she looks after storme so well, sends regular updates and makes sure Storme is well looked after. Can’t recommend her enough🩷 thanks Mariam xx

Tanya was lovely with Mitzu and kept us updated with messages and videos. She followed all the instructions carefully, including Mitzu’s medication, and was very patient with our shy little cat. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty. Would happily book again!
Ray is reliable and was very good with our cats. We received daily updates and photos. All instructions were carried out perfectly. We returned to happy cats that were taken care of so that we could enjoy our holiday with confidence. Would definitely book again.

Sabine was super attentive to my cats needs. One of my boys is very anxious and stayed hidden under my bed so she made sure she left a plate of food in my bedroom for him. She played with my other cat too. It really reassured me to know they saw someone everyday whilst I was away. Will book Sabine again for sure!
