About: Lifelong dog lover but sadly can’t be an owner as travel overseas too often. I am very experienced handling dogs as I used to be a volunteer dog walker for Hearing Dogs for the deaf plus another charity called the Cinnamon Trust. I have also been walking my neighbours black Labrador once a week for the past six years (he is featured in my profile picture). I am a retired gentleman so I am generally available all the time. I can easily travel and am happy to take dogs in my vehicle. I walk for at least an hour every day and know many varied walking routes in the Aylesbury Vale area. I am friendly, approachable and easy to communicate with. Through membership of another website I walk two labradors separately over three separate walks each week. With regards to the two Labradors I occasionally have them for overnight stays at my home. I have been doing this since February 2022 and have built up deep trusted relationships with both dogs. I have been fully retired since 2013 and am generally available for dog walks most days between 10am and 5pm. I do travel both in the UK and overseas for a total of 3 months a year spread throughout the year. I have a large very secure garden and keep no pets of my own at my property which is very private and detached. I live adjacent to open countryside and have a car which I am happy to take dogs in.

About: I grew up in a very animal loving family, our Jack Russells were the centre of my world as a child. I was brought up by my grandparents, they frequently looked after dogs, and still do, I had the chance to help out regularly with both dog walking and housesitting. I developed a quick love for taking care of many different animals. I’m the type of the person that will absolutely ditch an event just to sit with a furry friend in the corner. - I’ve taken care of many different animals having volunteered on a farm for two years and frequently helped out on my aunt’s farm in Devon. - 5 years experience of drop ins, 3 years total experience of housesitting and dog walking. At 15, I had become a young carer and that got in the way of any GCSEs qualifications and my animal management course at college. Now that things are settled, I’m hopeful to get back to my passion and what I grew up doing. This means that my schedule is extremely easy to work around; I’m available all days of the week. My usual routine for a housesit would usually consist of things like reading, studying for my resits, watching a show, engaging with your furry friends. Everything quiet and relaxing, unless it’s the playing! Any rules I’m made aware of will be followed to the point and there’s no doubt from me that I can gain your trust and your pet’s friendship.
About: I love all dogs and have owned many breeds. I am comfortable playing with my Dad’s Pomeranian or my sisters Staffordshire bull terrier. I grew up with jack russells and setters. I love making sure they have a good run around and also get to play indoors and are kept engaged. I love cuddles on the sofa and making sure they got lots of attention. I’m fit and active and can make sure they have a good walk. I’m a dog lover currently inbetween jobs (and usually work from home or in a hybrid capacity) so am fully available at home and living next to a park. I am in a ground floor flat so White Hill park is technically my garden. I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently live vicariously through helping friends and family with theirs. I miss the cuddles, playing and company of dogs so being able to help people with theirs perfectly aligns with my current schedule. I don’t drive but the park is right outside. Although I have access to a car if need be. I live in a ground floor flat with the security door just outside my front door so there are no safety/escape issues. I can let them out for the toilet whenever they need it. I have throws on my sofa so dogs are welcome on my furniture. I’ve always considered dogs part of the family so I don’t mind them on the sofa. My flat is quite big so there is plenty of room for their beds, crates and toys - whatever the owners preference.

“We needed our dog looked after at very last minute and reached out to Jaimee. She responded back so fast and accepted the booking which we were so thankful for. Jaimee was great with milo and sent us updates and we instantly felt comfortable having Jaimee in our home. We will definitely be in contact if/when we need milo looking after again. Thanks so much for this weekend x”

About: I have had several dogs during my lifetime. Most recently I have taken to looking after neighbours, family and friends dogs for a day, weekend or a week at a time. My availabilty will depend on my work rota - I will be working 2 days per week from beginning of April 2025. I have taken early retirement but will be returning to work on a part time basis at the beginning of April. I will have 5 days per week where I may be available for dog sitting, dog walking. I have a fully fenced and gated large back garden at our property. Lots of good, long walks within a short distance of where I live which will normally involve a short drive.

“I had every confidence that we were leaving our dogs and home with a reliable sitter and it was lovely to have a relaxing weekend away knowing all was taken care of! Holly provided pictures and updates and managed our two dogs seamlessly, along with all their quirks! Thanks again x”

“This is the first time I have left my dogs and I was worried about Bailey because he doesn’t get On with everyone, he is a rescue and was beaten badly he’s 11 now. I didn’t need to worry at all He took to Natalie and she cared for my three dogs very well. Natalie is a very caring person and I would have no hesitation in leaving my three with her again.”

“Norma arrived 10 minutes early as she'd suggested and asked all the right questions about feeding, playing and walking our dog. He was clearly very happy and relaxed with her from the outset. She sent a detailed run-down of his activities and well-being including photographic updates. Norma was a delightful, respectful and responsible sitter in our home, and we look forward to using her services again.”

Clare was fantastic, really friendly. Right from the beginning she was really responsive to messages, while we were away she sent messages and photos everyday. I know Rosie felt safe and happy with Clare because she did not give me the cold shoulder when I got home. I would highly recommend Clare to take care of your cat.

After being let down by another sitter we contacted Emma and she was able to help on very short notice, even fitting in a meet and greet with our dogs. My youngest dog is historically very prickly with strangers in the home but he took to Emma straight away and they all had a peaceful time together with lots of contact and pictures to ease my mind while I was out. Would highly recommend and will be inviting Emma round again!

Michael was amazing with Nuka, taking her on loads of adventures and outings to keep her busy and sending amusing photos and videos of their time together to keep me updated. She hurt her foot a little bit engaging in shenanigans on a walk and Michael let me know and treated it so she was right as rain. He's easygoing and very professional. Absolutely recommended!

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 Aylesbury Vale 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 Aylesbury Vale 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. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 80% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
