“Walter was great for our puppy, easy to communicate with, followed instructions and sent great updates and pictures! I will definitely use him again and would recommend him to others!”
About: Andre has grown up with a dog and birds, while Michelle has grown up with guinea pigs. We have always been around dogs. More recently, we have been dogsitting for family and friends for various periods of time. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, rescues, anxious ones and the most playful ones. Andre works an afternoon shift, Monday to Friday and Michelle is a teacher and has summers off. The gap between Andre leaving for work and Michelle getting home will be no more than 2 hours. We are caring people that love to be around dogs. We have a fenced in backyard which allows them to run around and play. We are fairly flexible to take on dog walking and feeding schedules. Your dog will loved and cared for like they never left home.
About: Since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to be a vet. Helping animals has always been a calling of mine. I am an avid animal lover. I have done co op in two different veterinary practices and have had all kinds of animal experience throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, a bunny, rats. I also have experience fostering many animals. I have experience dealing with senior care and medications as well. I am very passionate in making sure animals live healthy and happy lives. I look very forward to taking care of and spending time with your furry friends. Feel free to contact me to talk more and set up times! I’m available for both long and short term care. I just recently lost my beloved 19 year old pug terrier so now I have an empty nest. My other dogs are family dogs and live with my mom, so your animals will be the only ones in the home and have my undivided attention. I have senior stairs available as well to help get on to the couch/bed.
“Melanie was very fast to respond, friendly and professional. She followed all instructions and took great care of my cat, fish, and plants. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for drop in care, and I will definitely be contacting her in the future!”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life. I begged my mom for years to get one as a child, and ever since age 10 I have had a beagle almost non-stop. Currently, I have a 2-year old beagle named Floyd whom you can see on Instagram as The_Biking_Beagle. If you live or work in downtown London, it's possible you've seen us biking to the dog park, which we do almost every day. I raised him since 2 months old, so I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. My last dog Odie was a rescue from Kentucky, and he was likely about 8-10 years old when I got him. So I love dogs of all ages-and breeds. If you think your dog would like to join us on a bike ride to the dog park, that could be arranged. Either way, I will be happy to spend time with and walk your furry friend! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to choose my hours. Let me know when you need, and I will make time for you. I have a very friendly 2 year old beagle who gets along with almost any dog and loves to play. I also have a beautiful and very talkative cat, who has her own space if necessary, but also loves to socialize if the dog is friendly to cats. But if not, she does have her own highway of ledges and cat trees and closet space so there is no worry about her safety. I am also happy to care for your cat or dog in your home. I love to play with and spend time with animals, so you can be sure your fur baby is in good hands!
“Ally was reliable and a good communicator. We’ve booked her twice now for cat check-ins. Sunny enjoyed seeing her and we got pictures to reassure us that he was doing well. Would book again!”
“She did a great job looking after our two dogs and cat while we were away! We really appreciated the pictures and updates after each visit. She was very thorough and we felt confident knowing our pets were well taken care of. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Jiale is a sweet and caring companion for pups. My dog instantly was comfortable with her and climbed right into her lap. He had so much fun with her and I felt very relaxed as an anxious dog mum that he was in good hands.”
About: Growing up my family and I used to rescue dogs, making me very patient with all types of furbabies! I can take on any challenge. My baby was a special needs dog who needed attentive care 24/7 which helped me learned a lot about animal care. I have experience with my senior pets as well as both my husband and I care for our family pets when our parents needs us to! Both my husband and I have a wide experience in bird, rodent, reptile care as well. Any animal is welcome in our home, guaranteed a safe environment that would accommodate your pet needs. To get to know about me and my love for animals check my highlights on Instagram at allykatigbak or potato.the.bully. Since we have cared for our own pets as well as foster dogs in the past we have lots of toys, beds, treats, apparel for cold weather ranging from small to XXL and a crate if needed. We’re happy to share these with your babies during their stay with us to ensure safety, enrichment and comfort. I work from home and only go into the office once a week, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My own dog recently passed, and caring for him, especially as a special needs pet. This taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of attentive care. I’ll make sure your furry friend receives the same love, comfort, and dedication I gave to mine. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. My home is a calm, pet-friendly space filled with toys, treats, and cozy beds to help them feel right at home. Pets are always welcome on the furniture, because I want them to feel like part of the family. Whether they love to play, nap, or snuggle, their environment is always clean, secure, and full of care. A crate is also available if they prefer their own space.
“This was our second time booking with Lidiya, and we were just as happy as the first time. She is caring, reliable, and keeps us well updated. Knowing our cat is in such good hands gives us great peace of mind. Highly recommended!”

About: Hey - I'm Virginia, and I would be honored to help take care of your pet! I provide most services including walks, drop in visits, house pet sitting, boarding, and day care, and I am also happy to discuss unique options. I have a flexible, work from home schedule. I have the most experience with dogs, including veterinary clinics, formal dog training skills, and dog walking. I love cats as well, but provide only drop in visits or house sitting at this time for cats. I am comfortable with almost all kinds of dogs and can handle reactive and energetic personalities, or particular health/social needs. I will keep you well updated during the visit. Please feel free to ask any questions! I am available most days except sundays and saturday afternoons and have a flexible schedule! So, I'll be able to keep a close eye on and give attentive care for your pet. I care for pets by looking out on their behalf. I will ask you for information regarding their needs, fears, and favorite activities. During walks, I keep them away from other people and animals who we don't know. I ensure they are hydrated and not stressed. I also maintain a calm demeanor, and I am very proactive in making decisions for their comfort and safety.
“This is the second time we’ve had Carole take care of our pups, and we’ll definitely continue to hire her again! She is great with our boys, and they are very comfortable with her. She arrives promptly at the designated time, provides great care and leaves the house tidy. She is a gem and we are glad to have connected with her through Rover!”
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family dogs, and loved my own dogs and cats as a pet parent, so I’m very comfortable caring for both. I am also a volunteer at the Humane Society London & Middlesex. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, litter care and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable and experienced with administering basic medications if necessary. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to spend time with pets while house sitting, providing regular outdoor breaks, companionship and supervision throughout the day. My laptop is pretty easy to carry anywhere! For house sitting visits that are overnight, my husband and I will often work as a team, especially if there is more than 1 dog involved to provide the best possible care. Let me know in the request if for some reason you prefer just me (ex. If your animal is more comfortable with females or something). Most importantly, I know how much trust is involved in leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I’d want for my own — and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. 🐾 I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my day. I can easily bring my laptop with me while house sitting, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day rather than being away for long stretches. As long as I have Wi-Fi and a place to plug in, I’m all set! This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime and lots of companionship. Pets in my care are treated like family. I know how important routines, comfort and consistency are, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed and loved while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and mindful of things like secure doors and gates, feeding schedules, medications, walks and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
About: Ever since elementary school, I’ve been caring for animals—starting with walking my neighbors’ dogs just because I loved being around them. In middle school, I began rescuing stray cats, nursing those hit by cars or injured by wild animals back to health. That’s where I mastered essential skills like administering oral meds and cleaning/wrapping wounds. Now in college, I’m a proud dog mom to my own pup, whom I spend most of my days with. I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from hyper puppies to calm seniors. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just giving lots of love and attention, your pet will be in safe, experienced hands. I have a very flexible schedule right now, with plenty of energy and time each day to spend with your dog. My apartment is located just a short walk from a park, so I can take your pup out for walks and playtime every weekday afternoon and throughout the weekend, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and companionship daily. My apartment is in a quiet, secure building, providing a safe space for your dog. Being close to the park means I can take them outdoors regularly for walks and socialization to meet their activity needs. I’ll strictly follow your feeding and care routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your dog will receive patient companionship and attentive care while with me.
About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat et des animaux de mes parents. En étant plus vieille, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper des chiens de ma sœur. J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins. Lorsque j'aurai réunis assez d'argents, j'aimerais ouvrir mon propre studio de photographie animalière et faire du pet sitting en plus de cela. Ce serait mon plus grand rêve. Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète. Si je pouvais adopter tout les animaux qui existe, je le ferais sans hésiter.
About: My family owned dogs most of my life and I was the main caretaker of her. I took care of all her needs including administering prescription pills. I have also volunteered with a cat rescue charity, taking care of up to 14 adult cats and kittens at a time. I was in charge of their water, litter, play, diets/food as well as any ointments or pills. I’m currently not working and would love to do more with my time helping pet parents where I can as I can never get enough animal love! I’ve taken courses both in person and online about animal welfare and behaviour and have cared for many different pets throughout my life. I am a quiet individual who knows when to let a pet choose the pace of interactions.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - London
Heather was very quick to respond to messages and assured me my pets would be in good hands! It's easy to worry when we have a senior dog with medical needs but she put us right at ease. We only needed a drop in visit but if we ever need a longer stay we'll definitely book with her again.
Shacelle was fantastic! She did an incredible job visiting and grooming our dog. She is professional, friendly, prepared, efficient, and communicated so well throughout the booking. She clearly has a magic touch with dogs - our pup loved her from start to finish! Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!
Our first experience with Jenna was amazing, she was prompt on time as it was a key requirement for a us for a time sensitive appointment. She even took the added initiative of arranging a quick meet & greet before the actual day of the appointment. Our pet really took a liking to Jenna and the dog sitting appointment went seamlessly. We would love to have Jenna back again for our future dog sitting requirements.
Stefanie did an amazing job with our four legged family members! Her care and attention to detail were obvious, she provided many photos and details for each visit and was even able/willing to change my dogs walk one day due to weather. I am really glad we booked with her ☺️☺️
Caitlin was amazing with Piper! She fed her and gave her all her medication! Not only that, she played with her and gave her the love and attention she needed while we were away. Communication was great and I loved seeing pictures of her visits. Will absolutely be booking with Caitlin again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a London stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in London choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
