“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: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for the past four years, so I’m very used to the everyday parts of dog care, like walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up, and just spending time with them. I know every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine your dog is used to and give them time to get comfortable with me. I’m currently a graduate student, so my schedule depends a little on my classes. I’m usually pretty flexible outside of class and can arrange my time around walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. I’ll only take a booking if I know I actually have enough time to take good care of your pet. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you give me, especially for things like feeding, walks, and anything your pet should or shouldn’t do. I always keep dogs on leash outside and pay attention to how they’re acting, especially in a new place or around other dogs. I’m also happy to send you pictures and updates while you’re away.

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: 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: 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: 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.

About: My love for pets is a family tradition, passed down from my mom. I grew up in a home filled with love and dogs, where pets weren't just animals—they were family. I believe growing up with pets teaches kids empathy, responsibility, and how to celebrate the uniqueness of each animal, which is an experience I am passing on to my own children. In my home, I am dedicated to providing a safe, clean, and loving environment, ensuring your pets feel comfortable and happy while you are away. You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos throughout the day! To ensure your pet gets all the attention and dedication they deserve, I host a maximum of 2 dogs at a time (from the same or different households). Your fur baby will be treated like one of our own. I’m currently working full-time during the week but with a lot of time and love to take care of your pet. I’m available for boarding on weekends, holidays, and weekday nights after 4 pm. I live in a beautiful, spacious townhouse with a fenced yard. My neighborhood is very green, with many trees, parks and plenty of space for relaxing walks with your dog. I also can nail trimming (free) brushing their furs (free) brushing their teeth (depending on if they are used to it or owner provides the supplies) and bathing (extra $10).

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 owned animals (mainly dogs) since I was 7 years old and learned about the responsibilities that come with caring for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets, especially when they're busy or away. I’m comfortable following different routines and adapting to new personalities. I’m currently job searching so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m free for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I have one dog myself and am used to the routine of taking care of an animal. In your home, I will stick to consistency and comfort. I will stick to your schedule (ideally written down for me) and keep you updated with photos/check-ins.

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after Mango. ❤️ Liting was so incredibly gentle, patient, and understanding with him, and from the very beginning I could tell that she genuinely cared about him. Going away on vacation is usually stressful for me because I worry about Mango, but this time was different. I was actually able to relax and enjoy my trip because I knew he was safe, happy, and being so well cared for. Liting treated him like he was her own cat, and that meant so much to me. She sent me lots of photos, videos, and updates, and always kept me in the loop. Seeing Mango so comfortable and happy with her made me feel completely at ease. She was also very reliable and punctual with her visits, just sooooo sweet and thoughtful. I’m genuinely so grateful to her for taking such wonderful care of my little guy. 🥹❤️ If I travel again, I would absolutely love for Liting to look after Mango again, if she’s available and would have us back! I highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet with genuine kindness and love. 🐾❤️thank you Liting 😻😽”

About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - London

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in London is $22 per visit as of October 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 504 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in London. About 85% 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 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

sitters on Rover , 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 .
