Lewis is so lovely with our dog, Snoopy! I instantly felt at ease on meeting him and Snoop has been absolutely thrilled with his walks - so much so, we booked Lewis to do some dogsitting for us and couldn't have asked for better care. You can totally see how much Lewis loves animals, how much time he has for them, and the attention he lavishes on them. Thanks so much, Lewis; highly recommended, we'll be calling again. :)

La garde de mes deux chats s'est très bien passé. Céleste a bien suivi mes instructions, et a passé beaucoup de temps avec eux. C'était la première fois que je les faisais gardé donc j'avais de l'appréhension, mais elle a bien gagné ma confiance !

Cannot recommend Richard and Bee enough! Wonderful sitters who clearly love animals and treat them with such care and attention during their stay. We had an initial meeting at their home to see how our two dogs would settle and were instantly reassured, even our anxious pup Deke made himself at home. We have left them overnight and had regular updates and photos. It is such a relief to find people you can really trust and who genuinely adore your pets, we will def be using Richard and Bee again!

About: I’ve lovingly cared for family and friends’ pets, from Cavapoos, Miniature Schnauzers, and American Bullies to an eight-week-old Cane Corso puppy, gaining hands-on experience with different breeds and young pups. I also owned a Scottish Fold cat named Mochi, which gave me a strong understanding of feline care and behavior. I’ve been an animal lover since I was young and treat every pet with patience, warmth, and genuine care. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available every weekday from 7:00 PM onward for walks, playtime, and evening companionship to make sure your dog or cat feels cared for and never lonely. I also have weekend availability and am happy to help with house sitting or extended pet care during that time. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. My home features a fully secure garden where dogs can play safely. I always maintain a clean, pet-proofed environment to ensure every animal in my care stays happy, healthy, and secure.

About: Hi, I’m Emmanuel and I’ve had the opportunity to cater to Fur besties for 7 years! I owned 2 dogs back in my country and I have taken care of dogs and cats here in Leicester. I really cherish and value fur besties. I don’t see pet sitting as a chore and I’m able to connect to pets easily. I have a part-time job but I can easily make plans to sit/walk/care for your pets, I’m pretty flexible with my work schedule and I can make room for my fur besties with a 1-day prior notice. I love to think of every pet in my care as mine, accordingly, I give as much love as I can. I’m very much attentive and aware of your pets thus I do a proper scan of their environment every now and then just to make sure they are alright.

We highly recommend Megan. She did an amazing job looking after our dog and cats while we were away. She was awesome with Patrick, our dog who is a nervous boy and takes time getting to know people. She not only looked after our pets like they were her own but she looked after our home like it was her own. We got updates from her which put our minds at ease and helped us enjoy our trip. We have already booked Megan again for when we go away next month.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and cats especially have my heart. I love getting to know each cat’s personality—whether they’re cuddly, curious, or content doing their own thing. I’ve grown up with a grand total of 3 dogs, 7 cats, 4 rabbits, and I now have my own fur baby Ozzie who is a cheeky Norwegian Forest Cat! I have been cat and dog sitting for years before joining Rover. I am DBS cleared and hold the highest level of U.K. government security clearance due to my profession so you can be 100% sure your baby is safe with me. I have dealt with shy and anxious cats, reactive dogs, totally chill dogs and cats, and those that require a lot more attention due to being that extra bit playful! 😻 I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind as a frequent traveller myself, so I care for them with the same love and responsibility I’d expect for my own. As a slightly OCD person, I’m highly attentive to routines, feeding schedules, litter hygiene, and behavioral cues, and I’m comfortable caring for shy, anxious or completely relaxed cats and dogs. I pride myself on being dependable, respectful of your home, and communicative, with regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels as relaxed as normal and loved, until their person returns home 🩷 I currently work from home 3 days a week so available for early morning and afternoon cat drop ins or dog walks. I also am available on weekends. I will meet with you before you go away, to understand your pets needs and routine, to keep it as normal as possible for them and give them the love and attention they need until their person comes home 🩷

Jack was amazing, honestly couldn't rave about him enough. He was so good with our fur babies. We were not nervous about leaving them with him, even after we found out we were his first booking. We got updates both via text and on this app the whole time we were away. Jack went above and beyond to make our pets holiday away from us a good one. We will be using Jack again for sure.

As first time user of Rover and never having left our Dog with a sitter before, we were quite nervous on how it would go. However, Ellie was absolutely great - our dog had an amazing time, warmed up to Ellie immediately and looked very happy with her. We were sent frequent updates and pictures, and Peaches was looked after very well. I would 100% recommend Ellie for others wanting a dog sitter and we will be booking with Ellie again in the future. Thank you very much for taking such good care of Peaches! ☺️
