“Rita was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for our 20-day trip! From the very beginning, she was warm, reliable, and clearly experienced with cats. She took excellent care of Freya—administering her medications as advised, keeping up with her routines, and most importantly, bonding with her beautifully. Freya took to her instantly. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Rita also kept the house spotless and even left us a lovely plant as a thoughtful surprise. Her presence made our travels truly worry-free. I would highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and genuinely kind cat sitter—and would absolutely have her back again!”

“Chloe is a outstanding dog sitter always updates you through her stay, she looked after our dog for a week and I was very happy that I choose her and confident that she was getting looked after, response time from messages was instant I have already asked Chloe if she would look after Layla again next year that’s how brilliant she is highly recommended. Big thanks again can’t wait to see you next year.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was very young, growing up with both dogs and cats and developing a genuine love for animals of all kinds, including rabbits and hamsters. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a small Bichon Frise, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Because I have my own dog at home, I focus on caring for small and medium-sized breeds, where I can ensure a comfortable and safe environment for everyone. While I don’t take on larger breeds, I’m more than happy to provide attentive, reliable care for smaller dogs—whether that’s walks, day sitting, or home visits. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. My schedule is provided a week in advance, so it can vary slightly from week to week. However, this also allows me to plan ahead and offer good availability for pet care. I’m generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m flexible when it comes to arranging walks or home visits in advance. I always do my best to help As a pet owner, I make my dog Freddy’s happiness and wellbeing a top priority. He gets plenty of walks every day—even if that means spending my work breaks outside with him. We usually enjoy shorter walks around the block or by the river, along with one or two longer walks in the park for extra exercise and stimulation. At home, I’ve created a very dog-friendly environment filled with toys, cozy blankets, and (of course) treats. While the whole house is welcoming to dogs, the sofa is definitely a favourite spot for relaxing and feeling comfortable.

“Matt was brilliant with Loki. He was able to help us out last minute after another sitter cancelled and we couldn't be happier. Great communication, very friendly and trustworthy and we came back to a tidy house and a very happy, tired dog!”


About: Hi there fellow cat people! My name is Emily and I’m 28, my passions in life are animals (especially cats, art, music and books! I have 2 gorgeous black cats of my own, one is a 14 year old who I raised from the day they were born in our rabbit hutch and a 5 year old lock-down kitty. I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have also volunteered a couple times at SCAR (animal rescue) in the cattery, and a wildlife conservation centre in Bali. So I have extensive experience with pets in general, but cats are my true love. My experience also highlights my passion for animal rights and fighting against animal cruelty, so I hope you can trust your animals will be in the best care.

“It was our first time booking Nikki, and also our first time having someone look after Fiadh in our flat. Add in that Fiadh had just had her spay and was still in recovery. Nikki was fabulous from point of meet and greet to her calm and reassuring presence on the night. Fiadh settled quickly with Nikki and as a result we were able to go out for the night feeling calm. We highly recommend Nikki and look forward to seeing her again.”

About: Hi! 👋 I live in central Tunbridge Wells with my partner and our three cats. Growing up in a family that regularly adopted rescue pets, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've looked after and owned pets with all sorts of personalities – from large, energetic dogs to independent cats, cuddly companions, and senior pets who enjoy taking things slower. These days, I'm often the first person family and friends call when they need someone reliable to care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal is unique, so I'm happy to tailor my visits to suit your pet's individual needs, whether that's walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. I'm also great with smaller animals and have previously owned birds, chickens, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you know your pet is happy, comfortable, and in safe hands while you're away. I have access to my own car and can also walk to local bookings. I'd love to meet you and your furry family members, let's to arrange a meet and greet today! 🐾 I currently work from home for a national animal welfare charity in non-vetanarity role, which offers flexibility across the week. Because of this (and my lifetime of cat ownership!) have a solid understanding of behaviours and best practice - particularly around cats. Your home is just as important to me as your pets. I'll always treat it with care and respect. Before booking, I'm happy to chat through your pet's routine and any specific instructions you may have. My goal is to make sure you feel happy, comfortable, and reassured from the start.
About: We are a couple, Diana and Pieter, both 50 years old, with a lifelong connection to animals. Pieter grew up on a farm in South Africa, surrounded by many different animals, not just dogs and cats, which gave him a natural ease and confidence in caring for them. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, and rabbits, so taking care of animals has always been part of my daily life. We both still have our own pets today, so caring for animals is something that comes naturally to us. We’re used to their routines, their needs, and the responsibility that comes with them. If you see that we’ve selected the option to bring a pet, it would occasionally be our Springer Spaniel, 10, Qtoy, calm and friendly, but of course only if your pets like to be social. We also have a lovely black Labrador Retriever, american style, named Beny , of 3 years. We both work remotely, which means we spend most of our time at home and can be very present with the pets we look after. We like to keep things simple: respecting each animal’s routine, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For us, pet and house sitting is a way to stay close to animals, experience places more deeply, and take care of a home with the same attention we would give our own. We currently work remotely and part-time, so we have plenty of time to spend with your pets and keep them company. We’re available for pet and house sitting, staying in your home during the week and/or weekends. We take care of pets by staying in the owner’s home, so they can remain in their familiar environment and routine. We follow all the instructions given carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific needs. Since we work remotely and part-time, we spend a lot of time at home, so pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention and companionship. We like to keep their routine as stable as possible, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Shannon was so great looking after our dog, we were a little apprehensive as it was the first time we have left her with someone who isn't family but Shannon was the perfect sitter for our dog and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. We got updates throughout that day and came home to a happy content dog. :)”

“Eleanor recently sat for our three dogs over a long 4 night weekend. We had met the week before so she could get to know them and the set up here beforehand and was prompt, quietly attentive to all the info coming her way and clearly at ease with the dogs. She doesn’t drive but was pretty local to us and had arranged her transport to and from our home. During the booking we kept in touch via WhatsApp and she sent some photos of the dogs out for walks and at home which I appreciated. She left the house in good condition and the dogs looked happy and had obviously be played with. Eleanor had also spent some time giving the oldest dog a good comb as he was mid moult and looked much more handsome than when we’d set off! I would happily ask Eleanor to sit for our dogs again.”
“Amy looked after our 5 month old Labrador puppy, Scooby, for a weekend whilst we were away. I have never used Rover and we were apprehensive, as Scooby is a puppy, to leave him with someone but I had no reason to worry at all, Amy was amazing! Amy came to the house and met Scooby a few weeks before we went away and straight away I felt at ease. Scooby loved her and Amy is a natural with dogs! Whilst we were away Amy provided regular Pupdates and Scooby loved his weekend with a new friend. We will definitely ask Amy to look after Scooby again when we next need a dog sitter. Thank you so much Amy!!”

About: P.S. I’m now only taking boarding bookings from April 2026 Still accepting walks and drop in visits booking I always had pets back living in Brazil, the last ones were a dog and 2 cats! I have nursing degree and worked at hospitals for nearly 10 year in Brazil. After moving to UK in 2019, i had a career break to look after my children. When the youngest started school in 2022 i’ve decided to change my career and started working on a preschool to spend more time with my family. We were missing have a pet and as we normally go on long holidays to Brazil it’s difficult to have one. With this i was introduced to Rover and it’s being delightful to care for pets at our house. I’ve started looking after my friend’s pets, while they were on holidays and got the joy of boarding. I’m confident and responsible to give a great care to your pet. I also have a big garden they can freely play and enjoy. I work part time in a pre-school, so can easily manage to spend plenty of time and walk with your pet. My husband and children also love to spend time with them. The pets are treated as part of the family, our house is safe with a big fenced area. We like going on family walks with the dogs and have plenty of good walks, parks and woods to walk close to my house. I’m passionate in delivery care, with sure i will pay attention on your requirements and look after your pet with love and care.
“Ben looked after our two dogs and formed a bond with them even though one of them is really nervous of strangers. He kept us informed with pictures and updates and left the house immaculate. Would thoroughly recommend.”

Chloe was easy to communicate with before and during the sitting session. She arrived promptly for meet and greet and sitting afternoon. This was the first time we had left Charlie with anyone other than family and so we and he were a bit nervous but Chloe was brilliant and was very calm with Charlie which was just what he needed. Would book again!

Isabella & Adam were perfect sitters. I came back to a very happy Freddie, who had clearly enjoyed having them look after him. The house was tidy and well cared for, and I was incredibly impressed with everything they did. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Freddie and my home were in such good hands while I was away. I can’t thank them enough and would happily recommend them to anyone. Thank you both for everything! 🐾😊

Rita stepped in at the last minute to house-sit and watch our cat, Loki, following a hospital visit he had. Since we weren’t in town, Rita had to administer medicine (pills) and watch to ensure Loki did not have a repeat incident. We were nervous to leave our cat and home in the hands of someone we had never met before, but Rita did a fantastic job! She provided us regular updates on Loki, responded to our questions quickly, and left our house in better shape than when we’d handed over the keys originally! I couldn’t recommend her enough, thanks Rita!
