“Liv was wonderful looking after our dog lloyd . Especially as he has a paw injury so he had to be in an inflatable donut collar and watched a bit. she is really friendly and caring and highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Adrianna was lovely! Great communications before, during and after our dog sitting. She looked after our old dog with kindness and consideration. Am rebooking her without hesitation. Can highly recommend.”

“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 :)
“Wish we could give more than 5 stars! It was our first time using the platform and Giovanna made us feel at ease and looked after cat Leo so well. We had regular photos and updates and our flat was absolutely spotless. We'll book Giovanna any time we go away! Thank you so much again!”

“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.”

“Sofi was great with our greyhound, Pongo. She handled the shoes she wears really well, and was communicative and responsive throughout. Would recommend and hope to use again - thank you Sofi.”

“Another wonderful day stay Arthur had over the weekend! Lots of cuddles and we were so pleased he was so excited to see both you! Arthur had the best day exploring and was well and truly tired and happy after a busy Saturday! Thank you both again you are fab! ⭐”

“Hannah house sat for me and was just amazing with my two cats! They tend to be very anxious with strangers but she got them to warm up very quickly and they loved her by the end. She’s super professional, updates often and a safe pair of hands - would recommend her for sure! Thanks so much again, Hannah x”

“Sophie looked after my very lively quite large dog for a week and was really excellent. Communication was easy and straightforward, she followed all our instructions and gave us very detailed daily updates. We came home to a very happy dog!”

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!
Wish we could give more than 5 stars! It was our first time using the platform and Giovanna made us feel at ease and looked after cat Leo so well. We had regular photos and updates and our flat was absolutely spotless. We'll book Giovanna any time we go away! Thank you so much again!

Chayo and his partner Bea have done pet sitter for my 10 year old dachshund many times. Chayo is lovely, and snoop is very fond of him. He takes really good care of Snoop and keeps me updated with pictures of Snoop on their walks. I would absolutely recommend Chayo.

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!
