“Becky was amazing, ensured that our cats were fed and had some much needed attention while we were away! Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


2. Rachel W.
“I would just like to say what a professional attitude Rachel has towards the pets in her care. She has home-sat for our 2 DDB/Rotty crosses and they love her so much that they didn't want her to leave! She is a very caring and thoughtful person and we would certainly prefer to leave our dogs with her rather than any kennel or boarding home. We are looking forward to her staying at our house to sit with our dogs while we are away on holiday.”

About: I’ve taken care of peoples pets from a young age friends and family’s dogs and cats house sitting from 15 for family when they’ve gone away on holidays and needed someone to walk, love and feed their animals to drop in visits to play and let them out. I have free time to kill whilst at university in the mornings, afternoons and evening and my weekends are completely free to help out whenever I’m needed. I’m away from home at university so no pets in my home but I have cared for pets like family and friends before so I have experience in looking after big to small animals.

“Sapphire looked after our cat for 4 days whilst we were away, it’s the first time we’ve used a cat sitter and we were a bit nervous but as soon as Sapphire got to ours, our minds were put at ease 😊 She sent us lots of great pictures and kept in touch throughout the 4 days and even made sure our plants were watered before she left! 100% recommend Sapphire, I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after our cat any time. She’s absolutely brilliant and we can’t thank her enough for being so great! Thanks Sapphire! Xx”

10. Khadeejah P.

“Had to find a cat sitter urgently. Downloaded Rover in desperation as nobody was willing to help out & came across Khadeejah. She had great reviews & responded instantly. Came to my house & readily listened to everything I had to say. Her check ins were always on time. My cats love her. She also cleaned up after them even though she didn’t need to. I am truly very grateful & will be making her my regular cat sitter. ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I have 20 years of experience in caring for dogs. Currently, I am the guardian of a beautiful, eleven-year-old York terrier ,I have experience in washing, combing and deworming dogs, and I also know their behavior I currently work full-time for Leicester Racecourse as a groundsman. Most weekends are free, I can also look after animals after 5 p.m. Currently, my wife and I look after cats, a dog, rabbits, chickens and ducks on a daily basis. The house where we live has two large gardens where our animals find a lot of space to play. Everyone is friendly. Contact with the chickens makes the animals feel very comfortable.


12. Fynn K.
“Further to your recent email, I am writing to say that Fynn would make a very good pet sitter/dog walker and would give great customer service. All his life he has had dogs in the family and looked after them well. He has shown great care and love for my dogs too. I would fully trust him to be left in charge of my pets and show them the love and care they deserve.”

15. Ellie B.
About: I am a passionate dog lover with over 13 years of experience as a dog owner. After sadly losing my own dog, I truly miss their companionship, which is why I love spending time with and caring for other dogs. I am fully DBS-checked and have my own insurance, ensuring your pet is in safe and loving hands I am currently a dancer/performer in between contracts which means I have lots of time and attention to give to your furry friends. Please feel free to reach out and I can see what I can do. At the moment, I’m only able to offer dog-sitting services in the owner’s home. This is due to ongoing renovations at my house, which means it’s not an ideal environment for pets right now. I believe that caring for pets in their own familiar surroundings is often the best option, as it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. If this arrangement works for you, I’d be happy to discuss your dog’s needs further and how I can best support them while you’re away


16. Asimina P.
