“Jenna was so wonderful with my dogs. Spent so much time with them and really was caring. My young puppy is full of energy and a bit crazy. She was more than willing to work with her with no complaints. Jenna sent pictures and text messages during the visit.”
“I highly recommend Heather! I had never used Rover before or had anyone I didn’t know watch my 10 month old puppy. Heather kindly came over to meet me and my dog before the first drop in to make sure we all felt comfortable with each other. She was responsive to messages and flexible with changing the schedule. I appreciated the photos she sent which gave me peace of mind that my dog was having a great time. Thanks Heather!”
About: A Home Away From Home for Your Pup 🐾❤️ I truly believe dogs are family, and when they stay with me, I want them to feel right at home. I provide loving, personalized care and make sure every pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and outdoor time. I have two friendly dogs of my own - a Golden Doodle and a Shih Tzu, both almost 5 years old. They love meeting new friends and get along wonderfully with other dogs. We have a large, fully fenced backyard with lots of space to run, explore, and play. I love giving dogs the freedom to enjoy the outdoors while also making sure they feel comfortable and safe inside the home. I keep the number of dogs I care for limited so I can give each pup the attention and care they deserve. I keep pet parents updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and having a great time. 😊 Whether your dog loves running around the yard, playing with furry friends, going for walks, or simply curling up beside me for some cuddles, they’re always welcome here. Your pup’s happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priority!!! I’m home full-time and available on both weekdays and weekends, so your pet is never left alone and receives constant supervision, attention, and care throughout their stay. We’re also flexible with drop-off and pick-up timings to make things easier for you! 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that every animal receives individual attention. I stick to your pets' usual routine, including feeding, playtime, walks and sleep schedules. They are monitored and supervised at all times during their stay. VACCINATED PUPS ONLY.
“Absolutely amazing. Jess went above and beyond when it came to taking care of our dog - I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her help in the future. You can tell she just loves animals and my dog took to her immediately!”
“Daniel is terrific. It's evident that he strives for perfection, as he clearly makes the effort to ensure things are done right. I had a few minor requests and he didn't miss a thing. He's always on time, polite, and willing to accommodate. You can count on him. Thank you Daniel.”
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting Reid with the care of our beloved furry companions, Leo and Bella, during our vacation. We were impressed beyond measure with Reid's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine affection for our pets. Without a doubt, we can confidently say that Reid provided exceptional care and went above and beyond our expectations. Throughout our vacation, Reid regularly updated us with texts and photos of Leo and Bella, offering peace of mind and allowing us to stay connected with our furry friends.It was clear that Reid genuinely cared for their well-being and took the time to establish a bond with them. Upon our return, we found Leo and Bella in excellent health and spirits. They were relaxed, content, and it was evident that they had received exceptional care in our absence. We cannot express our gratitude enough to Reid for the outstanding care provided to Leo and Bella. It is genuinely challenging to find someone who treats our pets with such devotion and dedication. Reid's professionalism, reliability, and evident love for animals make them an exceptional choice for pet care services.”
“First of all we will absolutely be booking Katie again! She did a wonderful job of checking in on our cats and making sure my diabetic cat was well looked after. She sent updates when she did her check in with lovely photos (even of the kitty who is very skittish). Thank you for taking such good care of them!!”
About: Hi/Bonjour! I’m looking to make some extra money during these interesting times, and why not do something I love! I grew up with what felt like a zoo, and my love of animals has grown tremendously over the years. I’m here to provide your pets with a safe and fun loving environment. It’s so beautiful these days and I love going on long walks. I am able to care for dogs and cats of all ages. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, having grown up with them for most of my life. I’m actually sitting here writing this with my cousins cat sleeping beside me hahah! I’m also willing to try my hand at other animals, just might need a few instructions haha! If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to reach out! :)
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!

“Jiale did a great job looking after my senior cat. She followed my instructions perfectly, my apartment was clean and tidy when I got back, she provided lots of details and photos on the rover card and was super responsive.”
About: I have been looking after dogs of all sizes since I was a child. I am particularly good with timid and nervous dogs, as all of my dogs have been rescues. I provide gentle care and build trust over time. I can help leash train dogs of all sizes. I am quite good with senior dogs and can adjust care easily to fit their needs. I have volunteered as a veterinary assistant and have been taught how to restrain dogs to administer medications properly. I can consistently provide pet care in the mornings (6-9am). I work a part time job but can work with you to find days and times that I am available to provide the appropriate care for your pet. I would like to sit down with you and your pet before any care is provide to get a better understanding of how you care for your pet. I would like to know your routine with your pet, if they are crated when you leave home, where they are allowed to be in the house/yard, and if there is any health concerns that will require my attention.
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.
“Anna was awesome. Really good communication and my cat instantly loved her. She also was great a giving photos and videos of my boy while we were gone over the Christmas holidays. Definitely recommend”
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.

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.
Derlene was absolutely wonderful with our two Ragdoll boys, Mochi and Guinness! She did twice-daily drop-ins while we were away for our wedding, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands! 🐱🐱 Mochi can be quite shy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, so we were especially happy to hear that he absolutely loved Derlene and warmed up to her so quickly! Derlene sent us updates and lots of photos every visit, which we really appreciated while we were away. We’re so grateful she took such great care of our boys and would absolutely recommend her! We’ll definitely be booking with her again.
Alex is really nice and you can tell she really cares about animals and understands them and how to care for them. She looked after my 2 cats while I was out of town and right after our meet and greet I felt comfortable knowing they would be in her care. She is thorough and detailed oriented. She sent me videos, pictures, & updates on how my cats were doing each visit, and I never felt worried about them during my trip. I will definitely request to rebook with her next time I go out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 547 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in London. About 86% 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
