“This was my first time using Rover to find someone to house and dog sit. Keely replied to my request very quickly. The app I found a bit troublesome as it would not permit me access to messages. So, I used text messages instead. Keely was very accommodating which was much appreciated as we had some last min changes to timing and arrangements. My 2 dogs were very excited on our return and seemed happy and content. Keely kept me informed and sent photos of them on walks and tucked up sleeping. I can only apologise for not leaving the WiFi code. I did try sending a photo copy but it was not successful :( .... Lesson learned on my account.”
“Lucy was fabulous and communicated well throughout the 24hour stay. She even dealt brilliantly with my murderous cat bringing a pigeon into the house (sorry Lucy). I will 100% use Lucy again. Both my cat and dog were happy and well when I got home and she did exactly as asked ☺️”
“This was our first time leaving Loki with a sitter and Lucy was great, we felt completely at ease and she kept us updated with how he was doing and photos. Would definitely rebook! Thank you Lucy😊”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years looking after dogs and cats for friends and family. From caring for them for a few days to looking after them for several weeks while their owners are away, I absolutely love having them around and have always received lovely feedback. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I’m also naturally active and enjoy daily walks, so having a four-legged companion join me would be a bonus! Most importantly, I want every pet in my care to feel happy, safe and completely at home while their owners are away. I’d now love to bring that same care, attention and affection to pets in my local community. 🐾 I work from home, so I’m around for most of the day and have plenty of flexibility to give pets the attention and care they need. I always take a lunchtime walk, usually around 30 minutes to an hour, and I also enjoy a longer walk after work. I’d love to have a dog join me on these walks! I’ve cared for my mum’s dog, Charlie, and her two cats, Milo and Casper, for over two weeks at a time on several separate occasions. During these stays, I was responsible for Charlie’s daily routine, including taking him for at least two walks each day, keeping him company and making sure he was happy and entertained with plenty of playtime, toys and treats. Charlie can be quite a picky eater, so I also made sure he was eating properly by patiently encouraging him at mealtimes and rewarding him afterwards. I also looked after Milo and Casper, making sure they were well fed, comfortable and cared for while their mum was away. I’ve also looked after my friend’s cat, Molly, over a weekend while she was away, making sure she was a happy kitty and got all the attention and affection she deserved. I understand how important it is to give pets a safe, calm and familiar environment, while following their individual routines and giving them plenty of attention and affection.
About: I’ve always looked after dogs whether they were my own, a family members or a friends. I also did a little work experience while I was in school looking after dogs at a daycare as well as going to they homes to feed and walk. I work part time on the weekends so I am free most days through out the week. However I could do weekends between 10am and 6pm if needed. I have worked with many types of dogs before and have a few of my own, I always ensure to stick to a schedule they may have for they benefit.
About: I have had cats for 19 years. Currently have 1 cat of 2 years old. My other cats reached 18. I love cats. They are so affectionate and great company. I work Monday-Thursday in an office but I am available on Fridays (I work from home) but that’s not a problem to do drop-ins. I can also do these at any time Saturday and Sundays I give cats lots of love and affection, stroking their fur and rubbing their bellies, feeding them, ensuring they have fresh water, toys to play with, ensuring they are safe, happy and secure
About: Having a dogs and cats of my own has given me valuable, hands-on experience in understanding and meeting a dog’s individual needs. In addition, I regularly house-sit and care for my family members’ dogs, which has further strengthened my confidence in managing a range of temperaments, routines and care requirements. I had worked in the veterinary industry for numerous years, gaining practical experience in animal health, welfare and clinical environments. I also completed an animal-based degree covering animal behaviour and animal nursing, which provided me with a strong foundation in both the practical and theoretical aspects of animal care. I now work within animal-based education, where I continue to apply and develop my knowledge within the animal care sector. My weekday availability is primarily in the evenings. However, during school holidays, my availability increases and I am able to offer greater flexibility. I work full time but i am available most evenings. Please enquire further if you have any questions at all. I am more than happy to help. Within my own home I have a high fence. Within clients homes I expect it to be fully fenced. I also expect a waiver and small questionnaire to be answered so I am best equipped to deal with your animals.

Lucy did a fantastic job of looking after Mabel, especially grateful as it was short notice. It’s so lovely to meet such a genuine nice person with an affinity for dogs. It was a pleasure to have her in the house and I had 100% confidence in her abilities and Mabel took to her straight away.
Eli was amazing with our pets- one of our dogs is nervous and Eli was able to put him at ease straight away. Eli sent us lots of updates and pictures of all our pets and they were very happy and well looked after. Thank you Eli, we highly recommend you to anyone 😊
I could not be more happy with the care and attention given by Charlotte to my elderly boy Cooper. He was sadly diagnosed with lymphoma a week before we went away. When I informed Charlotte she immediately asked what extra care he might need and details of out of hours contact information for Cooper’s vet if it was required. Charlotte kept in touch every day with updates and pictures. I came home to a very clean house and a happy dog. I would not hesitate to recommend Charlotte to anyone looking for a caring, reliable person to care for their pet.
Emily came to our home to sit with Domino for the day. Emily was absolutely brilliant with Domino, she understood he is a rescue and how to read his body language. Emily sent us photos and messages throughout the day with updates which put us at ease. From the outset Emily had a great rapport with Domino making a fuss of him and playing ball, and knowing when to give him space. Domino has a new best friend. All in all we can't rate Emily highly enough, she respected our home and was great with Domino. Will definitely be booking Emily again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Ashford walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
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.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
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 Ashford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
