I am extremely happy with the care my pets received. Everything was even better than I could have expected, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in her care. Olga was always punctual, communication was excellent, and she sent beautiful photos along with detailed and thoughtful updates, which gave me great peace of mind. Knowing that my cats were in such wonderful hands made my vacation so much more enjoyable and completely stress-free. Olga treated my apartment with respect and carried out every task with great care and attention to detail. Most importantly, my cats quickly trusted her and were happy to play and spend time with her, which says a lot. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my pets. I would definitely book your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! See you soon Olga! 💝

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. My family home has never been without one. I have 2 dogs currently a 13yrs bichon frise cross and a 2yr old golden doodle cross living at my parents. They come and stay with me when my parents need dog sitting. I have looked after friends dogs of all different breeds and sizes from dachshunds to cane corso. So no matter the age or size, we would get on just fine. I’ve had cats since I was 12yrs old. My first cat was a 14yr old rescue that required extra attention with medication etc. At my parents I Currently have a cat called Nelly and her son Minford. He was 1 of the 4 kitten she had that we kept. Having a pregnant cat that gave birth in your care is an amazing experience in itself so I’m very familiar with looking after and meeting the needs of cats and kittens of all ages. I’m currently working self employed at the moment on call waiting for jobs. I can be out of the house for 1-2hrs at a time during the day or some days not at all. I live in an apartment block but have an outdoor courtyard and grass park 2 minutes walk away. They would have access to any many toilet breaks as they need and we can take a walk to the park.

About: I offer professional dog walking and overnight boarding services tailored to your dog’s needs. With over 2 years of experience and a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to give your furry friend the attention, care, and love they deserve. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment. I have an open schedule every day, so I’m able to give pet care my full attention. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play, and any other needs the pet may have. I enjoy caring for animals and make sure they feel safe and well looked after. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow any instructions from the owner closely—especially when it comes to feeding, routines, and any special needs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, make sure they’re never left alone for too long, and create a calm, friendly space where they feel secure. I also take time to build trust with each pet, so they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away. In addition to this I offer a spacious fenced garden where the dogs can safely play with my friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets, which can help them feel more at ease and provide companionship.

About: I used to work part-time as a dog walker in New York City whilst living there from 2016-2018 and it doesn't get much more stressful than that! I walked dogs all over the city with the Wag app and had a 5⭐️rating. I have experience walking all different types of dog breeds in one of the busiest cities on earth, so rest assured I will provide your dog with a safe and enjoyable walking experience. I am the go-to petsitter for my friends and family and have cared for small, medium, and large dogs, puppies and senior dogs. I am a lifelong animal-lover and grew up with a Dalmatian dog (Pebbles) and two cats (Poppy and Iris). I do not have any pets so your dog will get my undivided attention! I am currently working from home on a freelance basis so my time is flexible. I can structure my day around your pet's needs and provide plenty of walks and breaks outside. I live next to several green spaces and can easily access fantastic walking routes of all different lengths for your dog. I am an incredibly structured and reliable person, so I can cater my time around your pet.

About: Hello, I’m Amberley, based in Edgbaston near Harborne. I’ve loved animals all my life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, tortoises and lizards. My family have a Lurcher called Luna and a 15-year-old cat called Bowie, so I’m very used to looking after pets and their different personalities. By day, I work as a Community Liaison Coordinator, but I started dog walking to spend more time with furry friends after moving away from my family home. I’m a keen rock climber and gardener, I love being outdoors and am always happy to get out for a walk, whatever the weather! I have a hybrid working role at so spend equal amounts of time at home to out of the house. I am able to dog walk and keep pets company around my working week as I can work my schedule around my care commitments. To make sure everyone is happy and comfortable, I like to arrange a quick meet and greet before any booking. It gives me a chance to get to know you and your pet, learn about their routine, and chat through things like feeding, exercise, medication, and any quirks or preferences they might have. Every pet is different, so I want to make sure I can give them the best care possible. If you have any questions, just ask!

Natalia did a lovely job of caring for our cat while we were away. He was clearly happy and content when we got home with all of his needs met. Natalia was very communicative and helpful, sending very cute photos to us to keep us updated. I would definitely rebook with her next time we need help.

About: I’ve looked after dogs for as long as I can remember. From family pets to neighbours dogs I’m always outside with animals getting fresh air. I’m currently a student in University so I have a lot of time evenings and weekdays to look after your precious fur babies. I’m a very active outdoor person so it makes sense for me to do it with a fur buddy too! I have a fenced in garden and live close to many parks and dog friendly areas. I will work with you for the best care possible for your pet!

About: I grew up with dogs and have been pet sitting for my friends and family several times in the last few years. I am a gap year student so my schedule is very flexible! Since I’m on my gap year, my schedule is very flexible- I am happy to take any overnights, day time pet sitting, dog walking and boarding at your own homes When caring for pets in my own home, I will make sure they are kept in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I will provide fresh water and food according to their routine, give them plenty of exercise and playtime— I also have a fenced yard at home. I live near Epsom down so we can go for walks there! When looking after pets in an owner’s home, I follow the instructions they leave as closely as possible to maintain the pet’s usual routine. This can include feeding, walking, administering medication, cleaning up after them, and spending time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I also make sure the home is left secure and tidy after each visit.

We booked Beatriz for home visits over a long weekend and she was wonderfully attentive to our 3 needy cats, as usual. She even managed to win over our big scaredy cat, Mickey. The frequent photos and videos meant we were truly able to relax. Would 100% book again and recommend!

About: I am patient with dogs, but I will stop them from doing the wrong thing in time. I will use food to train dogs, such as sitting, shaking hands, lying down, etc. I am currently studying, and usually I have a lot of free time on Saturdays and Sundays, but I also have different periods of free time on Mondays and Fridays. My home is a two-room apartment, which is very large. And the apartment I live in is a pet-friendly apartment. Many residents here have their own pets. I believe your pet will have a good time in my home.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs all my life. I grew up with a dog who I absolutely adored, and later had my own dog, Monty, who was a huge part of my life. I loved taking care of every part of his day, from walks and feeding to bathing, playtime and giving him lots of love and attention. I also regularly care for family members’ dogs and always make sure they have everything they need to feel safe, happy and comfortable. I genuinely adore dogs and treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I work during the day, but I’m home every evening and have plenty of time to give dogs attention, affection and care. I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits and house sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to follow each dog’s usual routine. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and any specific instructions from their owner. I’ll always treat their home and belongings with respect.

About: Hi, I'm Yasmin. I'm a dog lover and have a lovely 10 month old miniature dachshund. I work from home and live in an apartment in Birmingham City Centre, we go outside for walks/ toilet breaks around 3 times per day. I have lots of time available to look after little fur babies and my pup is a complete princess so anyone that joins us will be well loved. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs. I am more than happy to share lots of updates and photos🩷. I have previously had a senior Bichon Frise with medical needs, so I am also confident with senior dogs and administering some medications. I work from home in a very flexible job so can give attention and walks as and when needed. Our current routine is a toilet trip outside in the morning as soon as we wake up, a proper walk at lunch time, a toilet break outside after dinner and another quick trip outside before bed. I work from home so can be very flexible on this. I am happy with dogs on furniture etc. Any outside time is always on a leash. I have an outdoor area at my apartment but often go for walks beyond this around the city or local parks. My dog is a miniature dachshund so we always use the lift rather than stairs to protect her back when going in and out, I also have foam stairs for her to get onto furniture.

Niall is just the nicest person, loves our cat as if he’s her own and makes sure he is looked after perfectly. Extremely good communicator and we would trust Jiale with any of our pets. We’re lucky to have found such a lovely person with pets and their wellbeing at the centre of her heart. We have used Jiale a couple of times now and will always choose her in future . Thank you ❤️

About: Used to have an Australian Shepherd of my own so am well versed in dog needs for active breeds, as well as calmer ones. Having worked with a dog trainer for approx a year, I’m comfortable handling reactive dogs too. I’ve been looking after friend’s and neighbour’s dogs and cats for a couple of years now, as I love pets and miss having one of my own. I’m an active person no matter the weather and love to have a 4 legged companion join me as I explore the city. Equally enjoy looking after cats, so if you need someone to pop in to feed and play with them for a bit, I’d be very happy to do so. I love taking photos, so expect lots of photo updates of your furry baby while you’re away! I work from home most of the week, so I can easily go for walks before 9am, during lunch time and after 5-6pm. I’m available for onboarding from Thursdays 6pm all through the weekend if I’m in town. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and can sleep in the bed with me if that’s more comfortable for them. I do not have a crate, so if you prefer your furry baby to use one, please make sure you’re able to provide it.

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.

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 Birmingham 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.
