“Katie looked after our two cats while we were away for the weekend and did such an amazing job! She was so great to communicate with and wrote us a note after each drop in visit with the rundown of how the visit went! Came home to two happy cats and grateful for the time away! Would definitely recommend and will be using Katie’s services in the future!!”

“Melanie was great! She came over for a meet and greet prior to our scheduled drop ins and was very friendly and well informed. My cat got along very well with her (and he’s a timid boy, so that says a lot!) and it was very comforting to know that he had someone caring looking after him while I was gone.”

About: I’ve taken care of my pets (four cats and one dog) my whole life. This requires feeding, walking, picking up after/ changing littler, and best of all; cuddles. I’m currently a second year student at Western University. I am taking a few online classes each semester so I have a lighter schedule of in-person classes to attend. I will have only a few three hour blocks during the week I will be at class, otherwise, I am available. To care for pets in my home and/ or at my clients home, I am willing to adapt to how the pet owner would like me to care for their pet. I am very easy- going and able to change my care style per request. We do not have any pets in this home, so if your pet isn’t comfortable being around other animals, that won’t be a problem.

About: I've volunteered with pet value to take care of cats. I am new to the platform but have experience of helping my friend take care their cats while travelling. Living with two adorable cats together. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your adorable pets! Please contact me 1 day before to make sure we both not in rush;) I provide detailed and attentive care, taking time to communicate closely with each client about their specific needs. I carefully follow instructions, monitor each pet’s behavior and health, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

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 twice 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.

About: Proud pet mama to 2 cats and 2 bunnies, so you could say my home is full of paws, whiskers, fluffy tails, and a whole lot of personality! 🐱🐰❤️ I'm the kind of person who talks to animals like they're my best friends (because, honestly, they are!). I love getting to know each pet's unique quirks, whether they're a cuddle bug, a playful troublemaker, or a shy little soul who needs extra patience. I'm also comfortable giving medications as needed and carefully following your pet's specific care routine. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, enrichment activities, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I'll treat them like one of my own. Expect lots of love, attention, and adorable photo updates while you're away! 📸💕 Fun fact: I even successfully trained one of my cats to use talking buttons to communicate with me! 🔊🐾 Through lots of patience, positive reinforcement, and probably a few too many treats, we've learned to understand each other in a whole new way. I work full-time, but my day wraps up by 4 PM, leaving plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and cuddles! I'm available most evenings and weekends, with flexibility to accommodate your pet's routine and scheduling needs. I'm always happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your furry friend happy and cared for! 🐶🐱 Your pet's safety and happiness come first! 💕 For walks and drop-ins, I follow their routine, provide lots of love, and send photo updates! 📸 I'm not offering overnight boarding just yet, but I'd love to care for your furry friends during the day!

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: 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 formal dog training skills, working at various veterinary clinics and of course, lots of dog walking. I am comfortable with almost all kinds of dogs and can handle reactivity, large dogs/working breeds, 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 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, behaviour, health, routine, 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. For boarding, my house is very quiet, which would be a plus for any dogs who have reactivity.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been actively involved in their daily care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m very familiar with different pet personalities and understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent with their routines. As a university student, I’m responsible and organized, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—especially since being away from home has made me miss my own pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to provide a calm, caring, and positive environment. I currently work part-time at a restaurant, mainly in the evenings, so I’m available during the day for walks, playtime, and care. I’m able to provide morning walks consistently and ensure pets get regular attention throughout the day, with potty breaks typically every 4–6 hours or more frequently when I’m home. I’m usually around during the day and enjoy staying active, so I’m happy to take dogs on walks or runs. I live in a house with no other pets, providing a calm and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow specific routines and send regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is well cared for. I live in a house with no other pets, providing a calm and comfortable environment for your pet. While I don’t have a fenced yard, there is a large field across the street where I can safely take dogs out on leash for walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I make sure pets are always supervised when I’m home and kept in a secure environment. I carefully follow any instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and crate use if needed. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and well cared for.

Jenna was great and was prompt in respoinding to queries; also very cooperative in assisting us with the booking requirements. She arrived right on time for a time sensitive appointment. Our puppy loves seeing her every time which is a great sense of relief to us when we leave the puppy with Jenna. Jenna is always very attentive to what the puppy needs and also provides us with helpful feedback if she notices something during her session. We would love to have her back again the next time we need someone to look after our pup.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - London

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in London is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 527 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in London. About 84% of London sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.

For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
