“Dannii provided a reliable and professional service for our 7 month old kitten Rosie. She visited us to meet Rosie and we showed her where everything would be in terms of food/cat litter supplies. We booked Dannii for 8 visits in total, she is is quick to respond to messages and as first time users of "Cat in a Flat" we enjoyed the report cards of each visit where she wrote about Rosie and added new pictures from each visit. Dannii provided an excellent service to Rosie and cared and played with her at each visit. When we returned home Rosie was her usual happy, relaxed and playful self which we feel is a strong sign of the excellent care she received from Dannii. We would highly recommend Dannii and we would book her for cat sitting again in the future.”

About: We understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, which is why we're committed to providing a safe, loving, and relaxed home-from-home environment for every dog in our care. Over the years, we've cared for a wide variety of family pets and have hands-on experience with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. Alongside owning pets ourselves, we've looked after a range of dog breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even a tortoise. My wife, Kirsty, also works in a pet shop, where she has gained valuable experience caring for and advising on the wellbeing of many different animals. To give you even greater peace of mind, I am certified in Canine First Aid and CPR, ensuring I'm prepared to respond quickly and appropriately should an emergency ever arise. We know that every dog is unique, so we'll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, plenty of playtime, or simply relaxing with lots of fuss and cuddles, we'll make sure they feel happy, secure, and part of the family throughout their stay. Pet sitting fits naturally into our routine, allowing us to dedicate quality time and attention to every pet in our care. As I work Monday to Friday during term time, we primarily offer weekend pet care, making us an ideal choice for weekend breaks, weddings, family visits, and short getaways. We also have additional availability during school holidays and selected weekdays throughout the year. When your pet stays with us, they'll be welcomed into our home and cared for as if they were one of our own. We'll take the time to follow their usual routine, provide plenty of love, enrichment, exercise, and cuddles, and ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always our highest priorities. Our home is pet-free, allowing us to give your pet our full attention and providing a calm environment without the added stress that some animals can experience when meeting unfamiliar pets. We're fortunate to live close to plenty of green spaces and scenic walking routes, giving dogs lots of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, mental stimulation, and play in a safe environment. Whether your pet enjoys energetic adventures or a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing, we'll tailor their walks to suit their individual needs and routine. Inside our home, your pet will have a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space where they can relax, feel secure, and enjoy plenty of love and attention throughout their stay.

“Have had Chloe look after our 2 dogs, both as a drop in and staying overnight with them, several times now. She looks after them really well and sends regular updates. Highly recommended, and won't hesitate to use her services again.”

About: I am a 3rd year Veterinary student looking to make a little money on the side while i’m in university. I have been looking after dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, pet birds, sheep and goats for 15 years. I have taken care of pets with specific medical conditions and other medical needs. I can care for your pets in my parent’s home or your home. I have a very flexible schedule due studying at university and to using Rover as my sole job for the school year. I am available during the week and weekends. As a vet student, I provide attentive, compassionate, and safety-focused care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining a pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, exercise, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In my veterinary education I have learned how to handle certain pet behavior, training, keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“It was my first time using Rover or this type of service, so I was a bit apprehensive. Demelza did a great job and made us comfortable leaving our babies to her care. She sent daily updates and was very good at communicating with me. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I have been fortunate to grow up around many different animals and I couldn’t imagine not having animals in my life. I regularly look after cats and dogs for friends and family while they are on holiday. I have experience with many different animals, for example I worked abroad teaching horse riding. I currently own a rescue dog who was nervous of people and dogs which has given me extensive knowledge with reactive dogs and I have completed training on this. I have had and currently have animals that require medication so I ensure all pet care requirements are met. Animals are my passion and I follow this up with different courses such as canine massage therapy. I want to help people provide the best care to their dogs and any others pets. I currently work full-time but have quite a lot of holidays from work throughout the year. I would be available after 5pm on weekdays and anytime weekends. If you require a different time please message as we may be able to arrange a time. As I have experience with reactive dogs I understand body language well and will ensure the safety of your dog when out on walks. I am happy to follow any rules or guidance you have when visiting your home and looking after your dog.

About: Having gained a level 2 and 3 in animal care and management, and then a BSc (Hons) in Animal behaviour and welfare, I have worked with various species of animals from cats and dogs to horses, sheep, pigs, bearded dragons, geckos, and multiple aquatic animals of the like. I have been an animal management and care specialist for a HE college, then moved to a veterinary specialist hospital as a technician. I have now turned to human nursing post covid. I currently work as a nurse, from 0830 till 5 pm Monday to Friday, I am free nearly every weekend. I am more than happy to have your furry child over night or to look in on them after work or on weekends. Having an open-plan flat, the rooms are filled with natural light; CCTV will be an option, but daily updates will be included as standard. I will insist on password pickup (you and I agree on a secret password if someone other than the person who drops them off is picking them up). If visiting your home, I will be wearing body-worn CCTV and will text or video chat during my visit to ensure that you are aware that I have attended to your goodest boy/girl.

About: Over the years I have had 6 cats, 2 dogs, hamsters, parrots and fish so I have always had a love for animals! I have plenty of experience in caring for them and know what they need. I have had pets who have had ongoing medical needs including regular medicine. I’m the go-to contact for friends and family when they need someone to pet-sit! My partner, Huzaifah, will be helping take care of your pet. He’s an animal lover and has looked after cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, and iguana and a tortoise. I work part time and my partner, who also adores animals, works full time from home so your pet will always have company! We don’t work weekends or bank holidays. We currently have 2 gerbils in a cage in our spacious upper cottage flat with an unfenced garden. The gerbils are elevated so there shouldn’t be any issues, they love the company of other animals!

About: I have rich experience looking after dogs and cats for friends and neighbours. I am patient, responsible and will send regular photo updates to keep owners informed. I can provide timely toilet breaks and playful interactions to keep pets happy and relaxed. I have flexible time throughout the whole week. I can respond quickly to pet care requests and arrange walking or home visits anytime as needed I will carefully look after pets in the owner’s home. I keep a calm and quiet environment and pay close attention to pets’ safety and feeding routine all the time.

“Dylan took great care of my very high energy Cocker Spaniel puppy. It was my first time using the app so I was a little anxious about the whole thing but he was super patient, friendly and accommodating of meeting us beforehand! It's clear that he loves dogs 🐶 Will definitely be booking him again - I'm sure my pup will be delighted! Thanks Dylan ☺️”

About: Although I don’t have little formal experience, I truly love dogs and am excited to start caring for them! I’m responsible, reliable, and love learning what makes each dog happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet company, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe and loved every step of the way. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule and can work from home, which allows me to give plenty of attention to your pup throughout the day. I can easily adjust my breaks for walks, playtime, or check-ins. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’ll make sure your dog gets the care, love, and activity they need while you’re away. I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. I ensure their environment is secure, follow all medical and routine instructions from the owner, and provide regular updates. I maintain a clean, engaging space for pets to feel happy and safe, and I treat each animal with respect and gentleness to build trust and a positive experience.

About: Hi I am Frances, anyone that spends five minutes in my company will tell you that I love all animals but especially Dogs, I feel as though they are just beautiful, caring, compassionate, clever and all round awesome beings that we don't deserve. Can't help but smile when in their company, Living their best life every day in the moment. No coincidence that their name is God backwards. I have had 2 dogs of my own in the past who I consider to be my family and am at a loss without my Son at the moment. I babysit for my friends Dogs if they have commitments elsewhere and consider it a privilege to do so. You don't have to own a dog to be my friend, but it helps :). Rest assured your fur babies are spoiled with me and we have fun playing, and chilling in between the adventure walks with lot's of Pink Panther sniffing / investigating to be done as well as special treat sausages from the Local Butchers with your permission of course. I have recently returned from Rwanda and Uganda where I had an amazing experience trekking in the National Forest Park to see the mighty Silverback Gorilla and his family. I have also travelled to Borneo where I volunteered at an Orangutan Sanctuary ( Jungle School - on Netflix ) and have also volunteered with the SSPCA in the past too. It would be an absolute pleasure to look after your furry family member and would be awesome to be their honorary Auntie and included in their pack. I currently work from home Monday and Friday from 8.30 to 3.30 and in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8.30 to 4.30. I am therefore able to look after your Fur babies for long weekends Fri to Mon easily fitting in with their own specific schedules. I am hoping to be able to make this a full time job in the future, as it would be a dream come true to be able to care for your pets and be paid to do so?! In an ideal world I would have won the lottery and I would pay you for the privilege of your babies company. I have a private fenced garden that allows security and safety for your pet to be able to go out for fresh air throughout the day in between the bigger walks - minimum of an hour of sniffing if allowed. Your pet will be allowed up on the couch and bed with fluffy blankets for comfort if allowed only, as I would not allow if not the norm for pet. All their requirements will be adhered and catered for, so as not to disrupt their usual routine.

About: Ever since I was younger I have helped walk and look after family and friends pets. Ive also helped to train some of these animals. Ive got an NC and a HNC in animal care. I'm also a RVN. I am confident in walking all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am also able to administer medications I work full time at a veterinary practice. I have Tuesdays, most Saturdays as well as all Sundays off. I can be quite flexible during weekends for doing both walks and visits. I may also be able to do some evenings. I am happy to try and work around my schedule. I will listen to the owners instructions and the needs for their pets. If house cats I will make sure they will be still in the home before I leave. For dogs I will cater walks to their needs and energy requirements.

About: Family and friends have asked me to look after walk cats and dogs, I always loved doing this as it gets me out and any cat or dog I meet I love instantly. I am currently volunteering at oxfam once a week on tuesday and more than happy to pop in and check or sit with your cats or dogs. I love going on walks so I am happy to walk dogs I am happy to work around your schedule I always ask more questions than needed about your pets to make sure they safe and looked after. What matters to me most is that the animal are looked after and feel safe and secure

About: I have had animals my whole life, dogs, cats, tortoises, hamsters, hedgehogs you name it. I adore all animals and cant wait to look after all your fur babies! Any more info dont hesitate to message me! I would be happy to water your plants as well when you are away. I am a uni student, so currently working part time. I only work 3 days a week so have plenty of time the rest of the days. I live in a flat, and keep it clean and tidy at all times. I sanitise everything and clean everyday. The pets would be in the living room, or my bedroom.

About: Along with taking care of my family dog for over 10 years, I have just completed my veterinarian degree. As I wait to find a job, I would love to spend my extra time with your furry friends, whether that is on a walk, playing inside, or cuddling up on the couch. Currently job hunting, so very flexible to do that anywhere. Whether after going on a walk with your dog, or while cuddling your cat, my hours are flexible. I think it is essential to make sure that your dog gets time outside (if you agree) whether it's a walk down the road, playing in your backyard or going somewhere in the woods. I make it a priority to make sure I give dogs and cats plently of fun stimulation while sitting. In addition, when I am with your pet they have my full attention. I love cuddles or playing with toys and I most definitely talk to them as if they are a human hanging out with me:)
