About: I've been caring for cats and dogs for the past 7 years and genuinely love being part of a pet's life. Over the years, I've looked after friends' cats and regularly cared for my parents' dog, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's beloved companion very seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits throughout Bath and Bristol. You can expect reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the loving, attentive care they deserve! I work from home 3 days of the week so I can easily do house visits during the week - Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays! Whether this may be for playing, feeding or simply giving your little fur baby a little bit of company. I can also take your dog out for a walk during my lunch breaks and play tug of war (the real way to a dog’s heart)! I am also available weekends, I simply want to care for your pet in the best way possible :) As I live in a flat, I won’t be able to take care of your pets in my own home but I am more than happy to do house sits, check ins, and daily walks - whatever works best for you!
“Lesley did a fantastic job. She was super kind to Dora and the vid and photos she sent showed me that they had a fab time playing in the garden and going for a walk. Dora ate all her food and Lesley left everything neat and tidy. Many thanks 🙏”

“Kenna is fantastic. She makes me feel so at ease leaving our 6 month old puppy. She keeps his routine and implements current training! Her communication is second to none and the pup dates are always an added bonus!”

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

“I needed Juliette to drop in several times during the day for my teenager terrier. We met before to get aquatinted. Juliette did a great job and kept me up to date with each visit. My dog very happy when I returned.”

About: I have 5 granddogs, 2 grandcats, 2 grandpigs, 2 goddogs and numerous canine and cat nephews and nieces (not blood of course, they are the furry kids of my friends). They’re family 😁 Usually only available between June and January as I live in Colombia January to May. However do feel free to ask, especially if the dates that you require are close to the limits. If I'm here I can adapt my schedule. I work remotely as a geeky historical writer, so can be pretty much anywhere and what can be better than doing that whilst making new furry friends. I treat them as family, except when the sharing of food is the question. I don’t share food, just like my English goddog, Percy, doesn’t share his bone. With regard to communication - the number listed is now obsolete - my new number is Colombian because I live in Colombia for six months each year - Unfortunately Rover does not have a Colombia option. So best to email me or communicate through Rover.
“Renata was amazing. The first time meeting Rita and Renata was brilliant with her. Great communication. Some lovely reassuring photos and I would definitely recommend her. Steve.”

About: I have grown up always having cats or dogs in my home so caring for animals has been part of my everyday life. Over the years I have also helped friends and family by pet sitting, walking, and giving lots of love and attention to their pets. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Being around pets brings so much joy, which I am now missing due to no longer living in a home with them. I am currently unemployed while I search for my postgraduate job, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pets! When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe in their familiar space. I ensure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent, whether it is walks, playtime or feeding. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while I am responsible for it.

About: - Experience with multiple dogs and cats (3 dogs + 1 cat in my family) - Familiar with daily routines: feeding, walking, basic grooming - Experienced with long-term care (my pets lived up to 18 years) - Comfortable handling both small and large dogs - Able to follow detailed care instructions from owners I take this job as a part-time job. After May, as a graduate student at the University of Bath, I no longer have classes. So I hope to find a part-time job to support my living expenses in the UK. I can be available at any time during the day when you need me. But sometimes I will travel outside and need to confirm the time with me three days in advance. But most of the time, I am in Bath, UK. In China, I have three dogs and one cat. Usually, I take my dogs for walks in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. This is because over the past few years, I have been reading a lot, so I have plenty of time to take them for walks. I also pay close attention to their diet and avoid giving them anything they can't eat. I spend one to two hours playing with the cats every day, and the rest of the time I can be by their side, which is the ideal situation.
About: As a 60 year old retiree I have 46 years of experience of dogs since getting my first dog when I was 14. I have constantly had dogs ever since, all rescues and mostly from puppies. I'm experienced in basic training and will be very happy to keep up your training routine as necessary. Dogs mean the world to me, and I'll treat your dog like my own. I keep myself fit and and can take your dog on any length of walk, short or long. I have now retired so have time and flexibility. I have a dog of my own. He's a rescue and a little timid so I wouldn't bring him on a walk with your dog unless you particularly wanted your dog to be socialised I have a fenced in garden and am more than happy to bring your dog to my house or care for them in your home.
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!
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, I genuinely love dogs and prioritise their well-being. I care for their needs, ensuring they are happy and healthy. I have grown up with German Shepherds, I am used to walking, bathing and playing with them. My current dog is a beautiful miniature Australian Shepherd. I trained him with my father, he has a great temperament. Dogs are a gift, they spread joy and affection. I love interacting with my friends, families and strangers dogs. I hope to do it more through this app. I’m a teacher so during the holidays, I will have plenty of time to look after your furry friends! During school periods I will be able to look after your pups on weekends. I live in a pet friendly, brand-new apartment block. It has two-outdoor areas which are both grassy and secure for the dogs to enjoy. Less than a 10 minute walk away from Victoria Park and plenty of other green spaces just a short walk away. There are plenty of lovely walking spots to explore. The flat is spacious, filled with lots of natural light and plenty of areas for your dog to relax and play.
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.
“Absolute Star - Cat did a phenomenal job with Louis, responding with great care and efficiency when Louis became unwell with a tummy upset during his time with her. She looked after him as if he was her own beloved and I cannot recommend her highly enough. There aren’t enough stars available to capture the full extent of our gratitude and now, happily, Louis is fully recovered and I think he can’t wait to see Cat again so he can thank her”


About: Hi! I’ve always been an animal lover and grew up surrounded by pets, with the added bonus of learning a lot from my aunt, who’s a vet. Whether it’s a curious cat or an energetic dog, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a first year university student living in Bath, and I have a flexible schedule to fit around your needs. I’ve looked after pets for family and friends over the years, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and quirks. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and safe while you’re away. While your pet is in my care, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I’m experienced with basic commands, and helping puppies get used to routines. I’ve cared for older pets who require gentle handling, medication administration, and extra comfort and patience. I would structure my day around feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship to match each pet’s needs. Whether in my home or the pet owner’s, I prioritize safety by pet-proofing spaces, following care instructions precisely, and maintaining a calm, secure environment. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and plenty of positive attention. In my home, pets have access to clean, cozy areas, outdoor time (if appropriate), and a low-stress atmosphere. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or the pet owner’s home, my focus is always on providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s routine and personality. In my home, pets have a quiet, secure space with access to cozy bedding, toys, and regular outdoor breaks (if applicable). I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with minimal hazards, and I supervise all activity closely. I follow any dietary, medical, or behavioral instructions precisely and ensure pets feel at ease through gentle interaction and a predictable schedule. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space while keeping pets on their usual routine. I stick to their established feeding, walking, and play schedules and maintain communication to offer peace of mind. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, and go above and beyond to make sure both the pet and the owner feel completely at ease during the stay.

Many thanks for looking after Tyoma again. I can recommend Felicity to anyone with a cat. I love how reliable Felicity is, daily updates are not generic - these provide enough details I need to feel that my cat is looked after well, pictures are great too. I can truly be sure my cat is in good hands while I am 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!

Bryony took very good care of our three cats. She ensured that they were fed and watered and kept us updated on how they were. Bryony is a very friendly and pleasant person to deal with. We would thoroughly recommend her. (And as first time app users we found the system of notifications to be very good).

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.

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.

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.
