“Ian is a natural with our dog, Mo. She doesn’t rake to everyone, but seemed to really like him as soon as she met him. He came on time to the meet and greet, was communicative, punctual, responsible and did everything we asked for in the 36-hours we were out of town. Couldn’t have asked for more and really happy with the experience.”
About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been surrounded by animals. Over the years, I've regularly looked after the pets of friends and family, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and care needs. A few years ago, I volunteered at a dog shelter in Cape Town, which strengthened my passion for working with dogs. Since then, I've cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments in my local community. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication when needed. Most of all, I have a big heart and a genuine love for animals. I'm honest, reliable, and attentive, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pets will be treated as if they were my own. I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, care, and attention, and I'll enjoy every moment spent with them. I always adjust my schedule to meet your pet's individual needs. As pet sitting is my full-time focus, I'll be with your pets for the majority of the day, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship. Your dog will enjoy regular walks suited to their personality and energy level, whether that's exploring the countryside, playing fetch at a local park, or socialising with other friendly dogs. Every walk is designed to keep them happy, active, and engaged while maintaining their usual routine. Safety and security are my number one priority. I will always discuss your dog's recall, temperament, and how they interact with other dogs and people, and I will carefully follow any advice or requests you provide. Your dog will only be let off lead with your permission and only in safe, secure areas. I aim to keep to your dog's usual routine so they feel comfortable and settled while you're away. If they enjoy the company of other dogs, I can provide group walks. If they prefer one-to-one walks, I will happily accommodate that too.
About: Ever since I can remember I have been surrounded with cats and loved every minute with them. Family and friends always know that they can rely on my to take care of their pets. Although I have not professionally looked after animals, I have been surrounded by them my whole life and have always had a close bond with animals. Thank you for reading! I am currently a student at university so my time is quite flexible. I also look after a cat which has been coming to my home every day and giving them plenty of play time and comfort! When looking after someones pet I always make sure to check with the owner of common places that their pet likes to go to, if they are indoor or outdoor, and things which make the pet happy, such as certain foods or ways to be pet. I also am completely able to follow a heavy detailed schedule, but may ask a few questions about certain details!
About: Hi, I'm Jess! I've been boarding and pet sitting through Rover since 2021 and have a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I grew up with energetic Collies and have a senior Labradoodle back home, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities. I share my home with my two friendly cats, Lana and Mali, who are well socialised and used to dogs. My home is best suited to dogs that are comfortable around cats, and I'm happy to arrange a Meet & Greet to make sure everyone gets along. I work from home most of the week, so your dog will get plenty of company, attention and supervision. I also have experience caring for dogs with complex medical needs, including administering daily medication and managing special feeding routines. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed walk or a more energetic adventure around Bath, I'll tailor their day to suit their needs. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, either through Rover or WhatsApp-whichever you prefer. I'd love to meet you and your dog! My Availability & Daily Routine: I work full-time with incredible flexibility. Because I work remotely four days a week, your pet will enjoy constant companionship, supervision, and care throughout the day. Office Days: I am only required in the office one day a week. If my listed calendar availability does not perfectly match your dates, please send me a message! I can frequently shift my office day to accommodate your booking. A Day Working from Home: When your dog is with me during the workday, they become part of the family. They will receive regular garden breaks, plenty of cuddles right next to my desk, and a long, energetic walk during my lunchtime break. Cat Drop-Ins & Walks: Because my hours are flexible, I can easily time my drop-in visits or dog walks around your pet's specific, preferred morning, midday, or evening routines. Safety, Trust & Peace of Mind: Your pet’s safety and emotional well-being are my absolute priorities. Because I have been sitting since 2023, I treat every guest pet with the same hyper-vigilance and care that I give to my own animals. Secure Home Environment: I live in a secure flat, meaning there is zero risk of a sneaky escape. The indoor environment is fully pet-proofed, quiet, and kept clean and organised. Controlled Multi-Pet Safety: Because I have two resident cats, I use a strict, slow-introduction protocol for all visiting dogs. I am fully prepared to use secure indoor zoning (such as separate rooms or baby gates) to ensure everyone has a safe space to relax. Outdoor & On-Lead Security: When out walking through Bath's open spaces, your dog will stay securely on-leash at all times unless you explicitly instruct otherwise. I strictly follow your precise training commands, behavioural directions, and road-safety preferences. Emergency Preparedness: I am highly experienced in managing complex canine medical conditions and administering multiple daily medications. I keep the details of local 24/7 emergency vets on hand at all times, and you will receive frequent, transparent photo updates throughout their stay.
“Smaranda looked after our cat at short notice, she was completely reliable, unphased about giving him his medicine and obviously has a way with cats as he took to her straight away. Couldn’t have asked for more.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I volunteer at the city farm once a month. Friends, family, and neighbours trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m available for boarding and for walks or visits. I have a flexible schedule and will work around your requirements and with my workplace only 15 minutes from home. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. As a dog owner myself, I understand how precious they are. I have a secure home with everything necessary for them!
“Brooke was great. It was my first time leaving my two girl cats with anyone but friends or family so I was a little nervous. Booked stepped in last minute when my friend couldn't check in on them for a long weekend away. The girls even came and spent some time with her which is huge as the youngest one can be timid around new people she doesn't know. Will 100% call on Brooke again, she put my mind at ease through out the whole thing and the girls clearly felt comfortable with her”
“Ania looked after our cat Kingsley for the first time this weekend. She was a great communicator, clear and friendly, both before and during the sit. We came home to a very tidy house and a very content cat. Thank you Ania!”
About: I’ve both potty trained and behaviour trained a springer spaniel puppy. I have also looked after and cared for elderly dogs and cats, both of which required medication in their food I am currently a student at bath spa university studying geography in the hopes of entering the conversation field post graduation. I have a deep care for animals and nature and have been raised on these values. Outside of term time I live in Switzerland where I look after my 3 year old springer spaniel and 15 year old maine coon cat who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and requires daily medication. Unfortunately i cannot offer pet sitting in my own home as it is a student property, however I am more than happy to pet sit in your home. I will make sure areas are secure, walks are a sufficient length for your pet and try to provide walk both on and off lead depending on location. Food will always be given at the time requested.
“Lesley was great—very flexible and super accommodating, even though our booking was last minute and our plans ended up changing. She was so kind and patient with Winnie, giving her the time she needed to feel comfortable, and Winnie warmed to her really well. It was lovely to meet Lesley, and I’m sure she and Winnie will be great friends going forward!”
“I have used Renata 3 times for occasional drop in visits when my work schedule needed me to be away for the day, usually at short notice. She is always very happy to help, communication always spot on and my dogs seem to have a good time when she visits.”
About: I have always had a dog growing up and sadly recently had a GSP pass away. Still have two friendly dashunds in the house currently. I love walking, caring and playing with dogs of all sizes :) I am a full time midwife that does a mix of night and days with no set routine. I would love to do walks etc on my days off. I have an enclosed garden and have a very chilled out household. We don’t allow dogs upstairs so our dogs are closed in to the big kitchen that we have. This includes wooden flooring and a big dog bed
“Shniele was our first dog sitter for our rescue, Tazzie, that’s only been with us for 3 weeks. We kept telling her she’s a dog whisperer because of how relaxed and comfortable he was around her (which normally takes him a while). She was great at managing his separation anxiety, sent checkin photos and messages, and came to the house to meet us the day before. We will definitely be booking Shniele again and anyone would be lucky to have such a trustworthy sitter care for their pup! Thank you x”
About: I have always adored animals and was lucky enough to get my soul mate in pup form at the age of 8, and we got him a little brother a few years later. After moving away from my family home and sadly loosing our adored boys - I am longing to care for some furry friends to keep me busy (and I’m hoping it will persuade my boyfriend to get a long term companion, although not much persuasion is needed 😂) although my family have always had smaller dogs - I do not discriminate and love all dogs of every size and floof! I am currently between jobs after moving out of London (nannying&dog sitting) as I wanted to be closer to my partner so at the moment I have all the time in the world to devote to your precious pooches! We adore having canine company 🥰 We have no pets in the property , a fairly spacious fenced garden (in the process of fixing a panel) but I will always be in the garden with them anyway. We are so blessed to live less than 1 min walk away from a lovely calm peaceful park which goes on to the canal perfect for both short snappy walks and longer treks depending on what your pup needs!

Fran did an excellent job looking after the elusive Mr Basil, our big fluffy boy. She found him in his various hiding places around the garden and took pictures to send us each day - very much appreciated and also entertaining. He was relaxed and well fed on our return. Entirely reliable and cheerful - will certainly rebook Fran whenever Basil needs looking after! Thanks for the support Fran and CatinaFlat. JW
I can't thank Ian enough for his help during our little getaway. I knew after meeting with himself and his partner that Shadow would be in good hands. He took notes on our first meeting, and had no problems giving medication. I was sent pictures which kept my mind at ease. I'd recommend Ian to anyone who needs a kind and trustworthy sitter for their little one!
It was fantasic having Natalya come and feed Ray for a week when we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures and you could tell that Ray had bonded with her in the short time he had to get to know her. We will definitely look to book her again next time we're away :)
Michelle was absolutely lovely and took great care of Luca, we felt very comfortable knowing she was there. We also appreciated how quickly she responded to us and adapted to our chaotic booking process - thank you Michelle! We will definitely book again when needed :)
We can’t thank you enough, Hayley! It was such a comfort knowing our boys were in your care while we were away. Your regular updates and the lovely photos meant so much to us and really put our minds at ease. It’s clear how much you genuinely care, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything you did. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to ask you again, thank you so much!

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.
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.
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 Bath 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.
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.

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 Bath 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.
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.
