“Heather was awesome! We were away for just over a week and booked her to check on our 3 adult cats each day while we were gone. She was very responsive and punctual with visits while we were away, and everything went perfect. Our kitties were well taken care of and we came home to a tidy apartment with the litter boxes clean and their food bowls washed. 10/10 experience and would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone!”
About: My love of dogs comes growing up with two successive Airedale terriers - both had tons of energy. My family's dogs have been such a comforting and positive presence in my life. I love the ritual of caring for and walking dogs; dogs give me so much joy. As someone who aspire to own a dog in the future, I will love and care for your dog like it is my own! I am currently job searching so my schedule is wide open for dog walking. I am very active and love the outdoors so I'm always up for a walk or a run! I will follow the structure and schedule that is so important for most dogs and will make the dog feel as comfortable and happy as possible. I am adept at soothing anxious dogs with toys, play and exercise.
“This is the fourth time having Stefanie look after my cat Lucy and I will definitely book her again! Lucy had to start medication the day before I was going away so I booked Stefanie for a second visit each day last minute and she was very accommodating. I trusted her to administer the meds and she provided thorough updates. She always follows my instructions, answers my questions while I’m away, and takes the best photos of Lucy!”
“Alissa is fantastic! She made sure my cats were well looked after while I was away, and provided updates and photos to keep me on the loop. She even went above and beyond to find some cat toys that had disappeared under the radiator! Very appreciative of Alissa and will definitely book with her again.”

“Katie was very good at looking after my shy cat. She looked for her in the hiding place I told her about and made friends with her so that by the end of the two days that Katie was looking after her she came out of her hiding place and allowed herself to be brushed (her favourite activity). It was also great to have the pictures and report on her toilet activity. I would certainly be comfortable leaving my shy darling in Katie's hands next time I have to go away”
“Jayden did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Copper. She independently took care of him for over a week and was reliable. She handled all responsibilities with utmost care and properly secured my home locks between visits. I would definitely recommend Jayden and welcome her back to take care of Copper!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats through friends and family, and I’ve always enjoyed caring for them. I have a 10 y/o dog of my own, so I’m especially comfortable with the patience, attention, and extra care that senior pets may need. I also have experience caring for cats and have spent years looking after pets for friends and family. When I first moved to Canada 8 years ago, I regularly dog-sat for a family friend, which is where I really started enjoying caring for other people’s pets. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra patience, or simply a little company and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I work during the week, so my schedule is generally busy from Monday to Thursday, but I can accommodate visits times after 5pm. From Friday through Sunday, I have more flexibility and extra time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy spending my weekends outdoors, staying active, and being around animals, so dog walking and pet sitting would fit naturally into my routine. I’m excited to use my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. For now, I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits only. Although I may offer house sitting in the future. My top priorities are always safety and trust. For walks, I make sure your dog is securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe areas or situations, and follow your instructions regarding their routine, behaviour, and needs.
“Katie was a great sitter for my older cat Samuel! She perfectly followed his twice-daily medication and feeding schedule, and replied promptly in our correspondence. I would not hesitate to re-book with Katie in the future.”
“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!”
“Brittany was so easy to work with and very trustworthy. She was available last minute and even help when someone was unavailable last minute. She went above and beyond to support. We loved having her support our family”
About: I've spent decades with a full cast of characters - sassy cats, shy kittens, senior pups and high energy dogs - so I know how to meet every pet exactly where they are. I am calm, patient and full of love. Your pets will be treated like they're one of my own, with lots of care and attention to their unique personalities. I work Mondays and Thursdays from 7 AM to 2:30 PM, and Saturdays from 7 AM to 11 AM, so I’m free in the afternoons on those days. I am free all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine - I'm used to juggling animals with daily life, so I can provide walks, playtime, cuddles and meals consistently around my work schedule. I treat every pet like part of my family! I follow their routine closely - feeding, walks, playtime and snuggles so they feel safe and comfortable.
“Erin was amazing to work with. She took such good care of our Hazel. And the added piece of mind that someone dropped by the house daily was the icing on the cake. We will definitely book Erin again!”
About: I specialize in caring for high-energy dogs who need more than just a walk. As the owner of a young, energetic American Labrador, Reni, I understand how important exercise, patience, enrichment, and mental stimulation are for dogs with lots of energy. Reni has taught me how to channel that energy in positive ways through training, enrichment activities, scent work, and engaging play. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up with family dogs and other animals. I also have experience caring for neighbours’ pets and have developed hands-on experience with positive reinforcement and managing some dog reactivity through my own dog. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about helping high-energy dogs feel happy, fulfilled, and well cared for. I work an 8am-4pm schedule from home, allowing for some flexibility during the day and I can largely accomodate walks before and after work and on weekends. I strive to make your time away as stress free as possible for your pet. By following their regular routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection and excercise.
“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.”
About: In my family, we've always had pets. My last pet was a German Shepherd, who died of an illness. In my home country, I helped my neighbors take care of or walk their pets when they didn't have time or were traveling.With my family's pets, I usually cared for them after school or when they wanted to go out of town, so I was in charge of them while my family was away. I can administer oral or topical medication, but I don't give injections. If the pets have a special diet, I can prepare it and serve it to them. My experience ranges from small to large breeds. As such, I don't know how to train pets, but I have taught the pets I care for a few tricks. I can work part-time, although right now on vacation I can work much longer, It all depends on the availability you want and what things I have scheduled. Being in the client's home makes me feel safer for pets, so they'll be comfortable. Depending on the pet's personality, I know they'll have to get used to my presence, so there will initially be a familiarization process. I always ask my clients for a list of things the pet can and can't eat, and if they have food or insect allergies. Emergency contacts and veterinarian numbers. If you need help giving oral or topical medications, I can do that as long as they're not injections. From my own experience, I know that pets are more than that. I know they're family and very precious, so I care for my clients as if they were my own.
About: Growing up with five goldens I was always surrounded by dogs. Walking and playing with them was always my favourite part of the day and it still is! Most of my experience is with either puppies or senior dogs, however I am great with all types and sizes of fur babies. I’m currently working full time on a four days on and five days off schedule at noon so I have all of my five days to walk and play with your fur baby! I love being outside and caring for dogs of all sizes! Making your dog comfortable is my number one priority, whether that be going on lots of walks or just playing at home in the backyard, your dog will be treated like the king or queen that they are!
“We discovered a gem in Jess, especially being in our neighbourhood. She quickly and easily helped to set up a Meet & Greet visit and asked lots of questions about Pepper’s likes, needs, etc. so she was able to provide her with the best possible care. Right away, you could see she is so passionate about her four-legged friends and Pepper instantly seemed to love her. It was so great to receive her report card and some very sweet pictures of my girl from their visit, which is always so much appreciated! We definitely will book again!”

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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in London on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 529 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in London. About 82% 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.
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
