About: Owned dogs for majority of my life, a couple rescues and one that the owner could no longer care for. Get along with every dog I have met. Willing to drive them to different locations for walks and to get them out of the house. Very trustworthy with people, animals, and homes. Have experience walking animals and house-sitting. Want to help people with their pets to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I feel dogs deserve so much in life and my hope is that I can repay them for what they have given me by making sure they are happy. Also want to help their owners because I remember how stressful it was when I would go on vacations or even short trips and worrying about our dogs and if they would be cared for.
“I have a puppy and Lisa was able to come take care of him twice a day while I was at work and on short notice, she sent me pictures and kept my worry at a minimum while I was gone. I came home to a puppy who was fed and happier than he would have been otherwise. Ill definitely be using her again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child. I’m a lifelong dog owner and have experience training my own three-year-old miniature red poodle.

Whether I’m in your home or mine, I prioritize, positive reinforcement and lots of affection. I believe in plenty of exercise and will make sure your pet gets frequent walks and playtime. Your dog will be cared for in my comfortable apartment, where they can enjoy a friendly atmosphere. My three-year-old miniature red poodle is a sweet, well-behaved companion who loves meeting other dogs and is always up for a walk. To make sure all pets feel safe and happy, I only accept dogs that are dog friendly and enjoy the company of other canines. Your pet will be part of our daily routine, including our regular walks and cuddle sessions.

“Keaira was so professional in making me feel at ease with our first drop in visit; she kept me up to date with the entire visit and my dog had a blast.”
“Kara did an incredible job handling my anxious big boy. Talking through some things she was seeing and keeping me incredibly well informed. Her care and attention is clear to see from the moment she starts interacting to the conclusion of the visit. Many thanks Kara!”
“Rachel did a great job with Louie! Her love for animals is clearly apparent and patience appreciated as Louie is only 12 weeks old! She refreshed his crate as needed, fed him lunch, and gave him some good old TLC! Daily visits around noon were a great break to his mom's busy work day. I would highly recommend her! Thanks for your care!”
About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!
About: I have about 10 years of caring for pets, from cats, dogs and even rodents! I also have experience in giving vaccines and pills to animals. I have fostered and rescued animals over the years, I know how to care for new born puppies/kittens. I am currently working part time and doing online school part time. I have plenty of time to help with your pets, whether it’s walking or staying over night with them! My husband and I have 1 dog and 3 cats, my parents live with us, they have a dog and a cat. Everyone gets along great.
“Kyra is great! It feels so good knowing our fur babies are in good hands. Kyra is responsive and easy to communicate with. It’s evident she cares a lot and we would definitely book with her again. We are so appreciative!”
About: I’ve been in love with pets since I can remember. I used to have pets most of my life and really enjoy their company. I have experience on how to train them to potty I’m currently a Stay at home mom, and work from home which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets. I’m available Mondays through Friday from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm. As well if you want your fur friend to spend the night with us I have a big backyard and big yard area for walks and play. I can also provide comfortable bed for your pet, as well as toys and pads if they need to go potty inside.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up dog-sitting for neighbors and can provide a lot of experience when it comes to caring for your pet(s). I work Monday through Friday, so I’m aiming to sit on the weekends. But if you don’t mind that I’m gone during the day on weekdays, I’m happy to sit for you anytime of the week. I have a large fenced in yard for potty breaks and usually do at least one long walk a day. My cat has her own room where she stays (separate from dogs) when I’m not home or if there is a need to keep her separate. Dogs are welcome in the bed and on couches!
“Katie visited our senior girl twice a day for a week while we were on vacation and she was great! Her response time was quick, and her check-in messages were thorough and left us feeling assured everything we requested while we were away was being handled as we hoped. We would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have a wide range of experience with animals (dogs, cats, horses, rats, rabbits, goats, etc.) I grew up around animals and am currently going through school on the pre-vet track. I have helped some friends and neighbors care for their pets (baths, walks, nail clipping, etc.) I also currently work at petsmart I currently work and go to school. My classes aren’t long and are spaced out throughout the day so I have free time in between classes. I work 4 days a week, usually for 3 hour shifts during the week I have one pet in my home and it’s my border collie Bailey. If your dog needs some training, I can help provide that as I used to train dogs from time to time and teach basic commands. I’m also very active and am happy to take your dog for a walk or on a trip to the dog park
“Kyra is helpful and friendly and she takes great care of our senior cats who both need medicine but hate taking it. We truly appreciate all that she does. Would 100% recommend.”

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 traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty 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 to 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.
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 are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in London with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
