“Our experience with Kate has been, once again, amazing! Luna absolutely adores her, and Kate makes sure to always send lots of photos and a meaningful summary of her visit, which takes away all the stress of leaving your pet with someone else.”


“I was thoroughly impressed with Sarah. She visited my home before I went away and listened carefully to all instructions, asked questions, took notes and kept me reassured whilst I was away with regular updates. On my return home, I found everything clean and tidy. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet care.”

About: I have experience of looking after cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters & fish. I am a huge animal lover who is trustworthy and reliable. I have a lot of free time and would really love to spend this walking and taking care of dogs and looking after pets in their homes. Whilst I am unable to look after pets in my own home (we have three dogs) I would be happy to care for pets in their own homes.

About: Love animals, great experience with dogs. Will take a good care of your pet, I know they will have the best time with me as well as I will have with them!!

I will ask for instructions on your furbaby’s routine to ensure they are as comfortable as possible while you’re away, sending pictures and updates to keep your mind at ease.

“Teresa was absolutely incredible. From our initial meet and greet you can tell that she absolutely loves animals. I was really nervous leaving my cat Annie since she is timid and doesn’t like new people. However, Annie instantly went up to Teresa when they first met which she never does with new people! I felt comfortable leaving Annie with Teresa since I knew she would be in good hands. Teresa was incredibly accommodating and sent me photos with every check in. She’s an absolute star, I’ll most definitely book her again next time I need a pet sitter.”


About: I’ve always loved dogs and have been surrounded by them since childhood. While I’m not a professional trainer or long-time sitter, I’ve looked after friends’ and neighbours’ dogs over the years—whether for a quick walk, a weekend stay, or just to keep them company. I take the time to understand what each dog needs to feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, quiet cuddles, or a good routine, I’m here to make sure your pup is comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or company, your pet won’t be left alone for long. I’m flexible during the day and available most evenings and weekends as well. Your dog will be cared for in a calm, safe, and clean home environment. I have a securely fenced yard where they can play or relax, depending on their energy level and routine. Whether staying with me or in your home, I stick closely to your instructions—feeding, walks, medication, or crate time if needed. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the respect they deserve.

“First time using Rover.com for a cat sitter, and if Chloe is anything to go by, I'll do it again. Chloe was a lovely person and perfect for combining looking after our cats with house-sitting. Both cats were relaxed in their known surroundings, and enjoyed having human company (although it wasn't their usual humans). Chloe sent me regular photos of the cats happy at home, which was a great comfort to know while abroad. The house was left as it was when we left, and Chloe even stripped the spare bed before leaving, which was a lovely surprise to return to. If we need an in-house cat sitter in the future, I'd gladly ask Chloe again.”


“Anna was fantastic with Gaia (cat), Anna was so kind and showed her so much love. I will be booking with Anna all the time from now on. Great service, lovely photos and videos on how well Gaia was great on. Thank you xx”


“I cannot recommend Adrien enough. She provided regular updates of my cat and I found her to be preofesional and responsible. She went above and beyond during the heatwave to ensure that Cleo was cool. 10/10!”


About: With several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality and unique needs. From energetic puppies who need structured play and basic training, to senior pets who require gentle care and medication support, I provide personalized attention and a calm, loving environment. What sets me apart is my patience, intuition, and ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in crate routines, administering oral medications, and recognizing early signs of stress or discomfort in pets. I treat every animal like family—because they are. Im currently working full time from 9-5:00pm. I am available after that timing and weekends too. However I can be very flexible because I can work from home and I can take my laptop everywhere if you need an urgent and saver pet sitter. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and creating a calm, familiar environment. I follow your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to minimize stress while you’re away. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being, updating you regularly with messages, photos, and videos for peace of mind. I always treat your home with the utmost respect—cleaning up after myself and your pet, following any house rules, and ensuring everything is left just as I found it. I double-check doors, gates, and litter/waste areas to maintain a safe space, and I’m comfortable administering medications or managing special care routines if needed. You can trust that I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention to detail, and lots of affection.

About: Hi, I’m Hayleigh! I’ve been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember and have hands-on experience training and caring for them. I’ve raised and trained two wonderful dogs from puppies: my Rottweiler and my chocolate Labrador, Pippa. Pippa has been a joy to train, and we’ve built a strong bond through consistent training and fun activities. I’m also currently working on scent training with my Rottweiler, which has been an exciting and rewarding experience. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs belonging to neighbors, family, and friends. I love spending time outdoors and make sure every dog I walk is happy, engaged, and having fun. Whether it’s a game of fetch, hide-and-seek, or exploring areas full of interesting scents, I tailor each walk to suit the dog’s personality and needs. I work part-time in a school, which allows me to offer flexible availability for dog walking and sitting. Your dog will always have my full attention and care, and their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I’m currently working part time therefore have the time to dog sit or walk in my free time. I can also work remotely when needed so can be available to dog/ cat sit. My children are at school so can work around school hours. I am experienced in crate training, toilet training and walking small and big dogs. I make sure that enough toilet breaks and walks are given. I can administer any medicine as have had to do this with other dogs and my own dog regularly.
