Hannah took great care of our cat, Sweep while were away. Great communication along with updates and photos. He was in safe hands and I would have no hesitation in booking Hannah again or recommending.

About: In my family home we’ve had over 8 dogs - currently 5 as you can see in my picture! That means I have heaps of experience when it comes to looking after breeds of all different personalities, shapes and sizes. Now I’ve left home to live in London, I take whatever opportunities I can to look after my friends pets while they’re away and feel they have always been very happy with the job I’ve done I currently work from home 3 days a week. And I go into the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, leaving me free from Thursday to Monday In general, I’m a very reliable, trustworthy and friendly person. Having grown up around dogs and just being a genuine animal lover, I understand how important they are to people and their families. I would never do anything to put your dogs safety in jeopardy and my experience looking after dogs also means that I am aware of potential risks, something which unfortunately many are not aware of. Not only will your dog be kept safe but it will be loved and made as comfortable as possible at home in my spacious 2 bed flat, where they will also have the use of a garden (this is currently not fully fenced so this will be via the use of a lead). We also have nice parks nearby which we will be sure to use for walking as to your dog’s delight I am also an avid step-counter!

Mei was amazing! She did drop ins for my 3 cats whilst I was away for the weekend. Each visit she shared updates and photos of my cat babies which I loved and was really reassuring. It also meant I knew when she had arrived and left so I felt so happy knowing my cats had some company too whilst I was away and was kept safe. Would 100% recommend Mei and will definitely book again next time.

I couldn’t be happier with the cat drop-in service! From the very first visit, it was clear that Hollie genuinely cares about animals and went above and beyond to make sure Hattie felt safe, comfortable, and loved. I received excellent, thoughtful updates and the sweetest photos every day, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Hattie is usually shy with new people, but she warmed up to Hollie so quickly and looked completely relaxed and happy in every picture. I highly recommend Hollie for anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and professional care. I’ll definitely be booking again!

About: An animal lover through and through! With a City & Guilds in Dog Walking, a Dog First Aid certificate, and a background working for various professional dog companies, I provide expert, high-standard care. I am a 5-Star Star Sitter on Rover, committed to maintaining a premium service for my clients. I’m best suited to dogs that require at least 30–60 minutes of activity, whether that’s getting their steps in on a walk or time spent playing. Location: Based in the Sutton and Reigate area, I’m currently offering services locally. I have previously travelled further afield for sits and may expand my coverage again in the future. Dog Walking: I love taking dogs out for walks and making sure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. I’m happy to offer solo walks when needed, as well as longer or more active outings for dogs who enjoy extra time outdoors. I’m happy to walk your recommended route and make every outing safe, structured, and enjoyable, so your dog comes home happy and settled. Pet Sitting & Home Care: While pet sitting, I offer total peace of mind through a premium level of pet and home care. I take great pride in being a respectful and reliable guest; I maintain a clean, tidy, and well-kept environment so you can return to a home exactly as you left it. Beyond pet care, I provide a high level of property security, remaining vigilant and attentive while staying in your home. I also manage essential household tasks such as watering plants and managing bins, ensuring your property is secure, lived-in, and perfectly maintained in your absence. My days are structured around providing reliable and professional pet care. Having managed schedules for various dog walking companies, I am experienced in creating a consistent routine that prioritises individual needs. My current focus allows me to balance quality time, playtime, and structured outdoor adventures, ensuring every dog in my care maintains a healthy and active rhythm throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own homes, my primary focus is sticking to their routine and adhering to the owner's instructions. I understand that dogs thrive on a familiar routine and I aim to minimise any disruption to their usual day. During visits, I ensure they receive fresh food and water, administer any necessary medication, and provide ample opportunities for exercise and play as requested. For dog walking, I follow the owner's preferred routes and ensure a safe and enjoyable outing. I also take care of essential tasks like cleaning up after pets and ensuring their environment remains tidy. I provide regular updates to owners, including photos and messages, so they can feel reassured their pets are in good hands. I am always available to answer any questions or address any concerns and treat the owner's home with the utmost respect.

With over 5 years as a primary dog owner, as well as two cats and other furry and scaly pets, I have an understanding of their needs.

Connor was kind enough to help me out at short notice and came to my house to sit with my pup for a few hours. Communication was great from the outset - Connor was super friendly and punctual and immediately a clear hit with Ted! I had absolute confidence in leaving him (and the house) in Connor’s care and came home to a very happy and tired pup, who’d been spoilt rotten with cuddles and ball games 😊 I would have no hesitation in recommending Connor to anyone looking for someone kind and trustworthy to look after their pets. We hope to see you again soon!

About: I currently do not have any pets of my own. so, plenty of time to spoil yours. During my childhood/ teens I had a dog and a cat. I adore animals and they seem to adore me. Looking forward to caring and spoiling your fur babies while you’re away I am currently working part time which gives me lots of free time to care for your pet. I have a beautiful garden and live close by parks and commons for plenty of walks. While looking after your fur baby I will cuddle, pet and hang out with them. I adore animals and treat every animal I care for like they are my own. I adore cats and dogs.

About: Growing up in South Africa, I’ve had dogs all my life. My husband (Russell) and I are huge dog lovers and animal activists, we have 2 pugs of our own (Daisy & Lola). They are both extremely friendly and always looking to make friends! I welcome dogs into my home for when you have plans and are looking for a home away from home for them. I’ll keep you updated with photos and info and your dogs will be spoiled with love! We will head to the park each day for an outing and fresh air. We have many local parks and may take a drive in the car sometimes to head to a different place to mix it up (if your dog is happy in the car). Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or queries. Jess xx

I couldn’t recommend Georgie enough! She has been nothing but caring and loving to our beautiful cat and I wouldn’t hesitate one bit to recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. Georgie makes sure to give your pet not only food and water, but care, love and lots of cuddles. She also makes sure to write a full report of everything she’s done for your fur baby during the visit, which is a greater information for us owners and also gives you peace of mind.

We had already booked our holiday to celebrate a truly special occasion when we received even more wonderful news: our offer on a new home had been accepted! Everything was in place — except one little detail… who would look after our two furry family members while we were away? A careful local search led us to the Rover website, where we contacted Angle. Admittedly, we felt a bit hesitant about leaving our beloved cats with someone we didn’t know. But all those great reviews turned out to be absolutely true — Angle was fantastic. At our initial meeting, our curious little Oscar immediately went up to her and started rubbing against her legs — what a lovely welcome! Milly, our more reserved one, took her time (as usual), but soon accepted Angle’s gentle affection. We agreed on a daily schedule—about an hour with the cats—and everything went perfectly. What truly made us feel at ease was the daily stream of photos and videos: each day we enjoyed seeing our two treasures being cuddled, played with, and cared for. It felt like they had a “temporary cat mom,” or as we jokingly called her, “Zia Angle.” Then, just before our trip ended, another surprise came up, and we needed to stay away for four more days. We asked Angle if she could continue caring for our kitties, and she said yes without hesitation. Angle was simply wonderful — responsible, caring, and genuinely affectionate with our pets. We are so grateful we found her, and we will definitely reach out again whenever we need someone to look after Oscar and Milly. Thank you from all of us — Oscar, Milly, and ourselves! 😺❤️

Gemma has been an absolute lifesaver! She took care of our kitten Milo while we were away for 10 days, and she’s been nothing short of amazing. She made sure Milo had plenty of food and water, and she has spent plenty of time playing with him. She really made him feel loved and cared for. We’ve been getting regular updates and pictures from Gemma, and it’s been so reassuring to know that he’s doing well. We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our little guy. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!
