About: I’ve always believed pets deserve the same love and comfort they get from their family, even when their people are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. I understand how important routines are, and I do my best to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and attention to detail. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, or spending extra time with a shy dog, I treat every pet like my own. Your pet’s happiness and comfort always come first! I work from home full-time, which means I’m around throughout the day to give your pet plenty of love, attention, and care. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my workday around feeding times, walks, and play sessions, so your furry friend always feels cared for and never lonely. I can also easily work from your home, making it simple to provide consistent company and care while keeping your pet comfortable in their own space. My flat is bright, open, and designed with pets in mind! I have comfy dog beds, fun toys, and a big shared outdoor space that’s perfect for walks and potty breaks. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved — like part of the family. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s routine consistent so they stay relaxed and happy!
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.
“Emma was a great sitter - she was very friendly, clearly loves dogs and was reliable so we didn’t have to worry whilst we were out! Would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“Mel continue to be a reliable sitter for us - we always use her for drop-in visits for our cat while we are away on holiday, and she always visits on time and makes sure that Kona is well looked-after. Thanks Mel!”

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.

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.
“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.”

“Jordan was so good with our girls. They had a great time with loads of walks and playtime which we really appreciated giving us peace of mind whilst away. Communication was excellent and we received multiple videos and photos throughout! Will definitely use your services again Jordan, thanks so much :)”

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.

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.

“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”

Welwyn Hatfield pet owners share their Rover experiences
We wanted to have a day out in London. Our initial thought was to board her but decided to arrange drop in visits instead so our dog can stay in the comfort of her own home. We were lucky to find Amanda. She is very friendly and dog loving. We arranged for her to visit twice, once for a toilet break and second one to give her dinner and another toilet break. Amanda visited at the agreed time to make sure our dog was ok and to spend a bit of time with her. Amanda is reliable and trust worthy. We will definitely use her again. Highly recommended.

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.

Thank you both xx

We were delighted to find Lili. A wonderful person and perfect for our cats. Lili always stayed in touch and kept us updated after each visit. It was a relief to find somebody who was local, trustworthy and who would care for our cats and home, whilst we went on holiday.

It's always difficult when moving house to a new area to find from scratch responsible and caring dog sitters! I'm glad Pui Ki was available and responded - her and her husband as a team have been absolutely perfect - arriving consistently, and engaging thoroughly with my 3 year old German shepherd to provide stimulation for an hour in the morning and again in the evening while I've been away. They have definitely eased my worry and helped me enjoy my trip knowing that they would give Nova the best time. Would definitely recommend and rebook if and when needed!
