“Ella was brilliant with my three cats! I was nervous hiring a cat sitter since I’d never had to use one before, but they all took to her straight away! Nothing was too much trouble, and all three were very happy when I got home.”
About: I have five years of personal experience caring for my own dog. He is now 9 years old and lives with my mum in Ukraine, but he was part of my everyday life for five years. Caring for him taught me a lot about a dog’s daily routine, walks, feeding, playtime and the importance of patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy. Although I’m new to Rover, caring for my own dog has given me genuine hands-on experience with dogs. I would treat every dog in my care with the same patience, kindness and attention that I gave my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I can usually accommodate morning, afternoon and early evening bookings. I’m happy to discuss specific days and times with each owner and will always make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and take the time to understand their dog’s routine, personality and individual needs. During walks, I keep dogs secure and pay close attention to their surroundings and behaviour. I always use the equipment provided by the owner and follow their instructions regarding leads, treats and other routines. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets have everything they need, including fresh water, food if requested, and plenty of attention and playtime. I treat every pet with patience, kindness and respect, and I will always contact the owner if I have any concerns or notice anything unusual.
About: I have babysat dogs since I was 13 it is my dream job and I hope to make a business one day, I love animals and It makes me so happy and gives me joy in the life doing something I love with the best and most loving animals. I do love my walks too I go very far in some beautiful places and atmospheres I love to give dogs the lovely experience on or off the lead. I also am a freelance photographer on the side of babysitting animals and serving pints, so if you ever want any photos, free of charge let me know and I will take some beautiful photos of your pets, if not that is totally fine, just an extra free service on the side for my portfolio and you can get some free lovely photos of your pets. Babysitting cats does fit really well into my schedule since I do work at a pub too but I do babysitting on the side so I don’t do as many shifts anymore. If you have a cat that is independent that doesn’t like interacting that is lovely and if you have one that loves cuddles and some love that is also perfect so either way I will always make time for them even if I’m at work. I care for pets in anyway the owner wants me to, I follow the rules and requirements any owner has, some cats like to be left alone and not interact and if I that’s the case I will give them the space they need but also try and make them comfortable around me. If a cat wants a lot of attention I will reciprocate that back to them and give them as much love as I can, I will spend time with them and make sure they get fed and they are taken care of as many times as the owner requires me to do.
“Michelle was lovely. She came for a meet and greet and we had a lovely chat. She asked what she needed to know to look after my girl. My cat is not a sociable girl and Michelle understood that so was happy to leave my cat in Michelle's care. Michelle sent me updates when she stopped by which was reassuring. Will be booking with Michelle again.”
About: Here’s what I can offer: 🐾Home visits & house sitting 🐾Dog walking & playtime 🐾Feeding & fresh water 🐾Medication administration (oral & injectable) 🐾Regular photo and message updates 🐾Loads of cuddles Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! As a final-year Veterinary Nursing student, I do a lot of my university work from home, so I really enjoy the company of pets throughout the day. I only attend classes two days a week and have large gaps in my schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide care and attention. During holidays and study breaks, I’m even more flexible, making pet care a natural and fulfilling part of my routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by tailoring each visit to the pet’s usual routine and personality. I offer house sitting in the pet owner’s home, which helps reduce stress and anxiety, especially for more nervous pets. I also provide free pop-in visits before the booking to help anxious dogs feel more at ease. With my veterinary training, I confidently manage pets with medical needs, including oral and injectable medications. I always maintain a clean, secure environment and provide regular updates so owners feel reassured while away.
“Sue looked after my very old cat brilliantly. The house was lovely and tidy when I got back, as my cat flits her litter everywhere. Communication was very good throughout and I would definitely use Sue again to care for my cat.”
“Martin was brilliant and exactly who we wanted to look after our cats while on a short trip. We had no worries at any point and loved the picture updates after each visit. Everything was perfect and the cats were happy on our return.”

About: Having owned my own dog, I've gained valuable experience in providing comprehensive care and ensuring a happy, healthy life for my furry companion. From daily walks and playtime to regular vet visits and training, I've learned the importance of consistency, patience, and love. This hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills needed to care for other dogs with the same dedication and attention. You can trust that your pet will receive the same level of care and affection that I give our family dog. Please note I work Monday to Friday until 4pm and am available for pet sitting after work during the evenings and/or overnight and most weekends. I ensure flexible, reliable care for your pets.

About: Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a fully licensed and insured pet carer with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care & Management, as well as Pet First Aid certification. Caring for animals has always been my passion. I grew up on my family's farm, where I helped hand-rear lambs, calves, and foals. From there, I went on to work with horses, greyhounds, and hunting hounds, giving me experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I started my pet care business because I struggled to find someone I truly trusted to look after my beloved pug, Teddy. That experience inspired me to create the kind of service I was looking for myself—a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where every pet is treated like one of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My priority is ensuring both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you're apart. Pet care at In The Doghouse is around the clock! Our bed is your bed, your pets needs is my priority, they're not just your family they're mine too. I have a fully secure good sized garden with plenty of toys. Double locked gate, with CCTV. Dog cam is also used inside the home.
About: Welcome — my name is Molly, and I run this pet care service personally. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, and fish. Every pet is treated as an individual, and I always follow their established routines, from feeding schedules to exercise and specific care needs. I offer consistent rates for all pets, regardless of size. Please feel free to get in touch for further details — I look forward to caring for your pet. I am available most days and am flexible for a range of services. I always put your pets needs first and prioritise their routine to fit into mine. Care for your pets all depends on the services you require. I will always focus on your needs and change activities based on whatever your pets energy levels are.
About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and have loved every minute. As I've been able to get to know so many different personalities that come with all pets, I've learnt some tricks and games to play to keep them entertained and happy. I've cared for many different breeds and ages of dogs, including older ones that required medication and extra care. I've also had experience with puppies who need that extra little bit of attention and help with training. I'm currently working from home so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet's special attention whilst you're away. My schedule is flexible so walks and special requirements can easily be fit in to my day or week. I always want to leave a home I've stayed in as clean as possible so owners can come back and instantly relax (I hate the stress that comes from cleaning after travelling home too). When a pet is at home, they tend to be relaxed and comfortable, so my main priority is keeping it that way and keeping things clean and organised, so there are as little disruptions to their environment or routine as possible. This service requires a level of trust that I always want to keep at the highest level as it can be daunting to leave your pet or home with a stranger. But I hope to gain your trust with the assurance that I respect your space and your pets and want the best outcome for us both.
“Our dogs took to Anna instantly during the preliminary meeting so we booked a drop-in visit straight away. We received gorgeous photos of Anna interacting with the dogs throughout her visit and excellent communication before/after. Thanks Anna!”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
