Solange was very quick to learn and remember all the instructions I gave her (my dog is deaf so we use a lot of hand signs and is a picky eater too!). Most importantly, my dog was immediately at ease with her. Solange communicated very well throughout the sit. I had great peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely recommend her!

About: I’m Ally :) by day I work in creative advertising and by night I’m training as a relationship therapist. I love animals for their personalities, intelligence, companionship & beauty! I’ve owned 4 wonderful black cats and 3 fabulous medium-sized dogs over the years. I’m capable of caring for pets with kindness & consideration for their needs. I make sure to prioritise pet care around work schedules to ensure their comfort and happiness! I can easily pop out to take them for a walk between meetings or an impromptu play date as required. I have a secure 2 bed apartment with tall infolding windows which pets can’t climb/jump from. I never buy flowers or plants that can harm fur babies!

Daniela and Luca have been amazing with Rocky. We would have absolutely no hesitation to recommend Daniela for future boarding and sitting - Rocky was soooo happy with them and I really feel he was sad to come home with us. Daniela and Luca kept us up to date with posts and photos which bought peace of mind given this was our first experience with them.

Katherine house sat for my 2 year old Labrador Lenny whilst I was out for the day. Lenny can sometimes still be full of energy and can be a bit stubborn on walks but Katherine was able to provide all the walks, care and attention that Lenny required. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

About: I have been looking after friend's and family member's dogs and cats for a number of years but sadly I currently don't have a pet of my own (due to renting) which is why I'm signing up to rover and looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I currently work full time with some days working from home. I have free time in the evenings and weekends to pet sit and am open to doing this either at your home (including popping in and taking for walks etc) or mine and am able to be flexible to you and your pets needs :) I'm open to looking after your pet in whatever way best suits you and them - just let me know more about them and their routine etc :)

Hi Kerri was professional and reliable when looking after venom. Kerri had a couple of unforeseen issues come up but had stayed professional and put Venom’s care first and looked after him until we returned from our holiday. Thank you Kerri for looking after venom and our house while we were away.

This was our first session with Ally. She took the time to come and visit with us to meet Olive ahead of the booking so we could show her around. She arrive ahead of time for the booking and sent me regular updates. She even managed to get Olive out on a walk which is unheard of for a new person! We look forward to Ally being a regular sitter for us.

Slavina took such great care of our cockapoo Disco who requires daily medication and has separation anxiety. She was so careful with her, particularly during the hot weather, and made sure Disco was always comfortable. Slavina sent us regular updates and photos of all their walks, play and cuddles. She also left our flat in immaculate condition!

This is the first time I've used the services of a dog / house sitter but it went very well and I'll be asking Kerri to help out again for my next holiday. Kerri came round to meet Charlie and me.... Obviously a great match so we booked her ! Kerri sent me photos of Charlie the very happy Cockapoo through out my time away. .. Didn't miss me at all by his doggy smiling furry face!
