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.

During this time, my daughter, who is a responsible high school senior, is home daily by noon.

“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!”


About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for almost 12 years, including five years of teaching them to be well-behaved and nearly five years of taking care of big animals. Right now, I have two children; My dog, Kodie and Callie (who’s a calico, of course!) When I’m not home, they head to their grandparents for a vacation, and they always have a blast! Having worked on a farm, I’ve had to keep an eye on up to 10 dogs running around freely, and I’ve got a lot of practice letting them play together and explore while keeping a close watch on what they’re doing. I know my way around giving different medical treatments such as oral, topical, or injections. I’m patient and encouraging with younger pets who are still figuring things out, but I’m also extra gentle and attentive with older pets who might need a little extra help or attention. I make sure to get to know their routines, special habits, personalities, and favorite things so they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home! I update my schedule often throughout the week! I am available for all services throughout the week, please check on what days I’m available for which services on the booking calendar! I am located in an apartment. I provide full-time daytime care, overnight stays, drop-ins, or walks at clients’ homes or nearby. When visiting, I respect the clients belongings and know which rooms are accessible during each stay. I’m aware of security cameras. Respectful of bathrooms, showers, Kitchens, Bedrooms. I bring and make my own food. I also discuss how to handle outgoing/incoming mail, trash, and ensure all doors, windows, and garages are locked and secure.
“Fantastic..its an uncomfortable feeling having a stranger in my home but she came to my house to introduce herself & i very comfortable with her taking care of my baby...this is the 1st time ive had a unknown person watching my pup so im a little anxious because bailey is 18 & i worry when i leave him...we both hav separation anxiety..lol but i feel less anxious..which means alot..kyra is a wondeful person & i know she took excellent care if bailey!”

“My dog always has a great time with Kearia! I also appreciate that she keeps me up to date during her visits. She was also to accommodate my visit last minute, very professional and reliable.”

“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!”

“Paige is wonderful! She has looked after my cat for years now and always does a great job. She somehow gets my very shy cat to want to come out from under the bed, which is a feat in itself. She is very communicative, reliable, and has always treated my home with respect. Highly recommend!!”

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!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
About: I've taken care of at least 3 dogs on a consistent basis since I was 10. I've handled all types of breeds. I've been asked to watch dogs for extended periods of time and am willing to do what I can for any pet in need. I've had some medical issues that required me to lose some weight and walking pets is a big part of my journey and still is and I want to help other pets in need. I have a fenced in yard with three friendly dogs. I've had to go through training with two of them for a couple years and I have a lot of patience. I live near medvet and multiple veterinarians.
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.
About: I’m a born animal lover! Have had and cared for animals my entire life. Any and all animals from wild to domestic are my ultimate passion in life. I promise to care for your pets at the highest level in order to give you peace of mind while you’re apart from them. I’m dependable, reliable, responsible, easy to work with/communicate with, I’m a diverse person who is comfortable in any setting and I’m very solution oriented. I hope you’ll give me an opportunity to help out with your animals. I’ve just recently relocated here to Columbus,OH area from Los Angeles California. I’m looking to help others with their pets because animals are my life’s passion! I’ve taken care of pets consistently for 10+ years and it simply never grows old. I have full open availability and I am very flexible and understanding. I’m easy to communicate with. At this time I can offer services at clients homes. I have two dogs of my own and so I am able to give your pets the one on one attention that they need I provide care in clients homes. I’ve found that pets do best with a sitter when they are inside of their domain.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all sizes my whole life, though I’ve owned my personal dog for less than a year. For years I’ve been the go-to friend and family member to watch dogs and cats and I love it! My family bred bulldogs growing up so I have experience with the youngest of puppies to old friends in their senior years! I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t love!! I work full-time as a pediatric ICU nurse rotating days and nights, so on my days off, I am completely free for multiple check-ins or walks. I work 3-4 shifts a week. I live in a spacious, open-concept apartment with a semi-private courtyard. I own gates for a play-pen as well as a crate if I ever need to separate dogs from one another!
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 was wonderful as usual. We’re so lucky to have a consistent care taker for our cats. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had a last minute change in plans. We can’t thank her enough!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. My family has three of our own. We have a shih tzu chihuahua, Boston terrier mix, and French bulldog so I have experience with dogs of all sizes.

I currently work 2:30-11 pm Sunday-Thursday so I’m available most mornings/early afternoons. I do also have the flexibility to drop in during my shift. I’m completely off Friday’s and Saturday’s. I will play with them, bathe them, take them on regular walks and provide them with any other additional care they may need. I absolutely adore all dogs, big and small!

I can’t say enough good things about Ann! My Scarlet girl doesn’t deal well with change or other dogs, so it was such a relief to find Ann so she didn’t have to go to a kennel. Ann loved Scarlet like she was her own and did a wonderful job communicating with me every day. I HIGHLY recommend her!

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.

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.
