Sherry did a wonderful job with her drop in visits for my two dogs. The dogs were well looked after, settled, and communication was great. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend.

Always excellent. Cats very well looked after and Kathleen always sends me photos and a few words to let me know how they are doing - which is always very reassuring.

About: Hi, I’m Amin – a dedicated and experienced pet care provider based in AL10 Hatfield, with over 5 years of personal and professional experience caring for pets. I’ve spent the past 1+ year working hands-on in a busy pet shop and grooming salon, where I gained valuable skills in handling dogs of all sizes, grooming, and recognizing individual pet needs. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’ll work around your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Last-minute booking? No problem! I’m happy to accommodate where I can. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide a calm, secure environment in my one-bedroom flat, perfect for pets who prefer a quiet and stress-free space. While I don’t have a garden, I’m just a short walk from several green areas where your dog can enjoy safe and supervised walks. I never leave pets unattended, and I follow any specific instructions you provide—whether it’s for feeding, medication, leash rules, or crate preferences. I also keep all hazardous items (cleaning products, cables, etc.) safely out of reach, and I always do a safety check before welcoming a new pet into my home. With my experience in a grooming salon and pet shop, I’m used to recognizing signs of stress or discomfort early and responding calmly and professionally.

We’d never left our cats to be looked after by anyone before. Upon meeting Diana we were very confident that she would take good care of our boys while we had a week abroad. We were not disappointed. Diana provided little updates and photos while we were away. Upon our return we could tell Benny and Fredo had been well loved in our absence. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diana and would definitely book her again next time we go away if she’ll have us. 😊

About: My name is Chenai im 19 years old with 5 years experience. Over the past 5 years I have cared for a variety of breads, which has has allowed me to gain knowledge and confidence about the different behaviours and temperaments each bread has and what their needs/wants are as well as the owners. Iv worked with all different ages from puppies to senior dogs, over the past 5 years i have learnt how to administer medications and supplements if needed. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I make sure to feed my pet(s) at consistent times, provide fresh water, and spend time with them—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply giving them attention and affection. I also set aside time for grooming, cleaning their living area, and monitoring their health and behavior. Weekly tasks might include more thorough cleaning, restocking supplies, or scheduling/checking up on vet appointments if needed. Taking care of my pet is something I prioritize because it helps keep them happy and healthy, and it also brings structure and joy to my routine. When caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I make sure they have everything they need—fresh food and water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special care needs. I also make sure to spend quality time with the pets through play, walks, or just relaxing together, depending on their personality. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own, always keeping their safety, comfort, and happiness as the top priority.

Really good with the cats and made sure they were very well cared for during our first trip away in four years. I felt calm knowing they were in good hands, despite one of the cats being quite shy and nervous around any new people. Highly recommended, and a genuinely nice person.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have plenty experience in caring and looking after them. I’m confident with any breed of dogs and particularly with larger breed dogs and high energy dogs as I’ve had a Vizsla and German Shepherd’s in my family previously. So, I’m happy walking any dogs of any breed and temperament, including larger breeds and high energy breeds. I have walked multiple dogs together and so am confident to walk multiple dogs if you have more than one furry best friend! I have completed countless hours of training from training for puppies and adult dogs. So I’m happy to support with following any training routine you have. I have experience with puppies all the way through to senior dogs and so can support with walking, training, administering medication, feeding, bathing and of course lots of play time and cuddles. I have flexible working and I can often work from home and so have plenty of time to walk or come round and play with your furry best friends. I can be flexible on the times of day’s I can visit/walk your dog during the week and have the most flexibility on the weekends. I will treat anyone’s home as if it’s my own. You know your pets best so I’ll work with you to follow any routines or instructions you have, for example, off lead or lead only walks and road safety.

Julia was wonderful with Ginger! She took the time to visit beforehand to get to know us and understand Ginger’s routine. She was also very flexible and available at short notice. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’ll definitely be using her services again soon.

Louise and her partner were absolutely brilliant! It was the first time I had ever left Rodney in hands of someone I never met before. He was super happy and excited to meet them and they reassured multiple times that he was ok, went to the toilet, fed him dinner & sent pictures of him out on a walk and in the garden so I was left at ease and able to enjoy my evening out for my partners birthday. Thank you both xx

About: I love all animals, but most of my experience is with cats. That being said, I’ve cared for many dogs in the past, as well as other small animals such as hamsters. I do my best to match the energy I get from the animals. If they are shy and quiet, I won’t push them to the point of discomfort. Equally if they are playful and cuddly, they will get as much cuddles and playtime as they need! I am currently on maternity leave with my 3 month old baby, and we go on walks multiple times a day, so would be great to take a pet with us! If not a walk, I have plenty of time each day to feed pets/provide company! My approach is to match the energy the pet gives me; I won’t push a pet out of their comfort zone, and will respect their wishes as much as possible.

About: I have taken care of dogs since very young. Starting with a family dog, a border collie, who we were lucky enough to have from a pup to 14! To now, I have a 3 year old vizlsa who I have had since 9weeks.. I have trained him since he was a tiny puppy and now have my very own Velcro dog! However if your fur baby prefers to be the only pet, I have my parents living local that love to take care of my Barney. I also look after friends dogs when they are away, these range in size and age from a 8 year old kelpie to a 2 year old cocker poo. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and will welcome them into my home like they are my own 🐶 I currently work as a serving firefighter, my shift pattern allows me a lot of time off. However each week is not the same for me, I work an 8 day rotation so each week is slightly different. Please feel free to message me with queries. I have a small securely fenced garden. I also have 3 different walks on my doorstep, some of which are very quiet! I also have a large crate/ bed that can be used if you wish.

About: Caring House Sitter with a Heart for Animals | Welwyn GC · Hatfield · St Albans, Hertford, Hatfield With three years of experience as a devoted pet caregiver, I genuinely understand the importance of providing loving and respectful care for your furry family members. My approach emphasises creating healthy boundaries while ensuring plenty of fun and companionship. I deeply respect not only your space but also the unique personalities of dogs and cats, treating them with the kindness they deserve. As a true animal lover, I'm committed to ensuring that every pet feels safe, happy, and cherished in my care. Mon–Fri: 7–9am · 12–2pm · 5–8pm (walks & drop-ins) Weekends: Flexible daytimes + overnight house sitting Cats: AM/PM routine is ideal (feed, litter, meds, quiet company) Dogs: Solo walks matched to age/energy; enrichment on rainy days I keep my calendar up to date and respond promptly; all bookings include photo updates. How I care for pets (and your home) Your pet’s routine is my script. I follow your instructions exactly, feeding, meds, walk times, play, and quiet time, so cats and dogs feel safe and settled while you’re away. I’m gentle, tidy, and keep communication clear with notes and photo updates every visit. In your home (house sitting & drop-ins) Security first: I double-check doors, gates, windows and keep leads by the door. No visitors, no parties—ever. I respect your privacy and only use agreed areas. Calm, consistent routine: I match your pet’s normal schedule and preferred style (shy cats get quiet company; playful pets get enrichment). Hygiene: Fresh water every visit, bowls washed, surfaces wiped. Litter scooped/reset each visit; waste disposed of properly. Medication: Comfortable with oral/topical meds when clearly explained; I log each dose in your Rover thread. Home care: Lights/blinds as instructed, plants/bins/mail handled, everything left clean and secure. Dog walks (solo only) Lead policy: I use a secure harness/collar you provide and a fixed lead. No off-lead unless you’ve given written OK and the area is safe and enclosed. Safe routes: I avoid hazards, busy roads at rush times, and stressful dog clusters; I adjust for heat, cold, or rain and bring water on longer walks. Accountability: You’ll receive Rover Cards with timing, route, and a short summary. Cat care specifics Doors and windows stay closed; I check common hide spots so indoor cats don’t slip out. I refresh water, litter, and feeding stations, then match their vibe—quiet company, play, or brushing if allowed. Multi-cat homes are fed separately as needed. Emergencies & consent I keep your vet and emergency contact details on hand. If anything seems off, I contact you immediately, follow your instructions, and, if urgent, seek vet care while keeping you updated. Trust & communication I reply quickly, keep my calendar accurate, and send clear updates (photos + what we did). My goal is simple: a safe, calm environment where your pet’s day feels normal—and you feel fully informed.
