Even though I was out of the country I felt like I knew exactly how my two dogs were doing, the videos and photos showed my girls relaxed and happy. Will definitely be rebooking with Hannah and Charlie!”

“This was our first time using Rover, and Lucy has set the bar very high. Lucy came to the house a few days before our trip to introduce herself and meet our elderly cat. She was on time, asked all the right questions, and you could see she has done this many times before. Lucy kept us up to date throughout our trip on how our cat was doing and sent pictures too. Great service and we had peace of mind the whole trip knowing Lucy was looking after Sheba AKA Beanie.”
About: I have experience working with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. Having worked in a dog-friendly environment, I am confident handling dogs with different needs and temperaments. I have also personally trained two dogs, giving me valuable experience in obedience, behaviour, and positive reinforcement techniques. My passion for animals ensures every dog receives safe, reliable, and caring attention. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to easily fit dog walking and pet sitting around my schedule. This allows me to offer reliable availability throughout the week and provide your pets with the time, care, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I ensure pets are kept secure and comfortable at all times, following any instructions provided by the owner. I take care to check that doors, gates, and feeding areas are safe, and I always provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet and home will be treated with the utmost care and respect.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs I did have another rover profile but sadly for some reason my account got hacked so I’ve had to make a new one. But I got lots of great reviews I’m now working part time since having my son. My son , partner and myself adore dogs so thought why not help people who need their precious dogs looked after. I’m currently working part time and I’m home the majority of the time so your pups will never be alone and always looked after here I have a large garden which is very secure and a separate room to the main living room incase dogs aren’t to get along so they are always safe
“Elle was great. Really helped me when I needed someone at short notice. Came and visited prior without hesitation and understood my boys behaviour when he displayed some anxiety. A great understanding of dogs and would definitely use again 🐾”
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
“As usual Keely was great with Sadie. Dropping in for feeds and medication. Even took in a parcel for us (which had arrived early). Communication was good lots of photos to keep my mind at rest.”
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.
“Couldn’t ask for more! Took great care of our 2 cats, taking time to play with them and clear up after their mischief! Also very kindly put our heating on for our return and left us a really sweet card and some chocolates! Highly recommended!”
“Dr Zohreh was amazing. This is the first time we have used Rover and we’re very nervous about leaving our precious kitties. She was so kind and patient and treated Mac and Mitsy so well. I actually believe they still miss her. We will always use her in future Thankyou so very much”
About: I have 2 cats at home. Dog sat for family members and loved every second of it. Had a healthy dog when I was younger, sadly he passed due to cancer. Currently working part-time. Love all kinds of animals. Will need time to work around my work schedules but I will be willing to help you. I have 2 cats at home. Unfortunately will not be able to care for animals within my home but I am more than happy to travel to your home to care for your animal
About: I have been babysitting dogs for a few years now. I have always been a dog lover and fostered several dogs growing up. In the last few years, I have hosted dogs in my house over holidays and vacations. I also live an active life and take dogs for long walks and hikes. I know it can be hard to go out and make plans when you have a dog, I am always down to take care of your baby if you have dinners or date nights planned. I have also helped owners take their dogs to the vet or provide other kinds of support in taking care of their fur-babies. I currently work hybrid and have to be in the office only once or twice a week. My office is pet friendly and once I bond with your fur baby and I know their temperament, I can take them in (if needed). I live in an apartment with a decently sized balcony with high railings. Any fur baby that comes over can make themselves at home and explore the house. There are no sharp objects or harmful plants. I am very attentive to the needs of your pets, I have previously taken pets to the vet on behalf of the owners. There are a few lovely parks nearby where I can take your babies for a walk.
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs from birth, naturally they are my favourite animal and I love to be around them. I have dropped in, walked and looked after various family friend pets over the years as well as looking after mine. We have recently adopted our foster dog Willow 🐶 I work from home full time with accessibility to schedule morning, afternoon or lunch time walks/drop ins ect . I am flexible with times due to my job, but please let me know ahead of time. I have a fenced off yard that is roughly 10 metres long so plenty of space for play! Access to the garden whenever and access to indoors. Let me know what your pets love as well and I will accomodate this! 💗

Iva was highly reliable and so importantly, kind and caring with Simba, who loved her! Iva sent us daily texts and pics of Simba, which was very reassuring. We'd have no hesitation recommending Iva and we will be asking her to help again with our next holiday.
Dr Zohreh was amazing. This is the first time we have used Rover and we’re very nervous about leaving our precious kitties. She was so kind and patient and treated Mac and Mitsy so well. I actually believe they still miss her. We will always use her in future Thankyou so very much
Emily recently looked after our cats, Poppy and Oscar, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She gave our cats so much attention, and it was clear they were comfortable and happy in her care. We really appreciated the regular daily updates she sent, which always included great photos of Poppy and Oscar. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands and that everything was going well while we were away. Emily's communication was excellent, and her love for animals really shines through. We'll definitely be rebooking with her for our next trip. :)

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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Ashford pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
