Bethany was lovely. She came twice a day to feed our cat, who she obviously became friends with, sent us messages and photos and was just perfect. I hope she will help us again. I feel I've made a friend. I'd recommend her to anybody."

Tegan was absolutely the best babysitter ever!! Tegan was very warm and set our hearts at ease the minute she walked in the door. She helped us for about a month 7 hours a day. Our daughter was three and a half months old and she was amazing with her. Though our daughter just is a little, she bought age-appropriate toys to her. Since that time our daughter only likes Tegan's toy:-) So I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to Tegan. She is truly a professional, which not all babysitters are. She is passionate about children and doing her job well. She asked us about our baby's likes/dislikes. Tegan did a wonderful job with our baby and made our time away easier! Thank you very much indeed!"

I am canine first aid trained, insured and have a clear DBS police check. I have a lifetime of experience with a wide range of animals. I currently have 4 rescue dogs, a cat, 3 rabbits, 1 guinea pig, and a crazy ferret!

I have dealt with and rehabilitated dogs with spinal injuries, a brain tumour, incontinence and heart problems. I have a keen interest in canine psychology as after adopting 2 dogs from oversees with various behavioural problems and I have had to learn behavioural training very quickly, because if these experiences I am currently training to become a canine behaviourist and myotherapist. I can help out with dog walking, cat/small pet visits and also puppy visits if they require loo breaks, feeding or socialisation.

Trusted and reviewed pet care and house sits
| Hi I do house sitting and pet care via rover and trusted house sitters mainly. I enjoy looking after other people's pets as unfortunately I cannot have my own for the next couple of years. As I'm still in university and want to wait till I have a secure job. I study accounting and finance at Southampton university and enjoy crochet and kayaking in my spare time. I have plenty of time for pet care as my course is mostly independent study preparing for seminars. I enjoy a quiet life, I don't drink and my ideal evening is spent either baking with friends or sat in front the Tele crocheting next to a cat/dog . I started pet sitting for neighbours when I was thirteen where I looked after my neighbours 3 legged cat and chickens for the weeks they went on holiday. I now regularly petsit via trusted house sitters (+rover) and have even looked after several fields of sheep. Therefore I have plenty of reviews I can share.
