“Natalia was amazing and really made me feel at ease leaving my little boy in her care. She sent me lots of pictures whilst she looked after him, kept me updated and reassured me that he was being very well taken care of. She also left the house spotless as if she hadn't even stayed - I will definitely use her again. Thank you so so much.”
“Chi was a superstar dogsitter: reliable, responsible, and loving towards our senior dog. She sent pictures throughout and left our house spotless.

About: I've basically grown up surrounded by paws and wagging tails - there's been a dog in my life since before I was even born! I adopted my two golden fur babies from different families, and they're now living the royal life back home in India with my family while I study overseas. I miss them every single day, so spending time with other dogs here would make me so happy. I've got around 22 years of experience with dogs and a lifetime of love (and slobbery kisses). If you ask me whether I'm a dog or cat person - honestly, I'd pet a crocodile if it dont think I am food! 🐾♥️ “I’m usually available from 2 PM to 10 PM, and sometimes till around 11:30 PM if I don’t have early classes or assignment deadlines. I’m doing my post-grad right now, so my schedule can change a bit depending on unisveristy ~ This isn’t just a job for me — I really love being around animals and taking care of them I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I follow their routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times
About: Hello! My name is Vanda and I have been taking care of cats and dogs since from an early age. I am an animal lover and I love to see them happy and comfortable. Currently I don't work full-time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. I am available during week days as well as weekends. I will be sending frequent updates with pictures and videos too :) - I have my own cat, Yuki. She is neutered and vaccinated. She is a bit shy at first but can easily adapt to other friendly cats in case you need boarding. - In case of boarding, your cat will have access to all divisions in the flat and it's cat prepared. Lots of toys and a cat tree to keep him/her entertained, safe access to windows to watch "cat tv", litter box scooped every single use, food and water bowls regularly changed and in a safe place. I have also a supply of treats that I'm gladly to share with your cat. - For drop in visits and house sitting, I will clean bowls and refill them with food and water. I will clean litter boxes, pick up poo and clean other mess your pet might have done. I will also play with your pet if he's feeling playful, lots of cuddles if he enjoys it and give him some treats :)
About: I have years of experience working with all types of pets, from dogs to cats to birds, and I know how to handle any situation that might arise. I also take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality and preferences, so I can provide personalized care that meets their needs. Whether it's extra playtime, snuggles, or just a reassuring presence, I go above and beyond to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet Care would fit purrfectly with my schedule, as im currently on my summers break away from college. I am available throughout the week, and happy to look after your fur baby! When pets stay in my home, I make sure they have a safe and comfortable space to relax and play, with plenty of toys, treats, and attention. I follow their owners' instructions closely to ensure they receive the same level of care and attention they are used to. When caring for pets in their own homes, I maintain their routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I also make sure to keep their environment clean and tidy, so they can feel comfortable and relaxed in their own space.
About: I was around dogs and cats since I was 4. Over time developed strong passion and deep understanding of their mood. Big part of my childhood summers spent with dogs at my grandparents house. I was caring about a lot of cats and walked some of them on backyards. Overall had experience with different pets - my own, family’s and friend’s My studying year in university ended and I don’t have other job at the moment, so I have a lot of time to care and play with your dogs or cats at any time Since I will be standing in your home, your pet will be relaxed, feeling safe and comfortable in their familiar territory. Can give attention or space depending on their mood and personality
“Aleksandra did a brilliant job when looking after my rescue dog Freddie. My husband and I have used her twice now for sitting and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Freddie was cared for brilliantly and our house left clean and tidy which was really appreciated. He quickly settled and soon accepted fuss from Aleksandra. From the updates and photos shared we could see Freddie had lots of fun with walks and play too which was lovely to see while we were away. So glad to have found Aleksandra as a sitter 😊”
“Tatiana was fantastic with our little zoo. She was conscientious and thorough in their care. Jackie took to her immediately and Lucy overcame her usual shyness. We will ask her to look after them again whenever we are away and she is available.”
About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats of my own, friends and family, I have developed an understanding of their unique needs and personalities. My journey began at home where I honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care for my own fur babies. Over the years, I have looked after pets of all breeds and sizes, ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being while their owners are away. My commitment to creating a loving and stress-free environment has earned the trust of many pet owners, making me a reliable and dedicated pet sitter. Working hybrid allows me to be home most of the week, providing ample time to tend to pets' needs and ensure their comfort. Even on office days, my local commute enables me to check in and take pets for walks during lunch breaks. I ensure that pets receive consistent care and attention throughout the day, keeping them happy and well-exercised. Caring for dogs is my passion, and I approach every pet with the same love and dedication I would give my own pets. I prioritise their safety by maintaining a secure environment, whether it's ensuring doors are closed or keeping hazardous items out of reach. I provide regular walks, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to each dog's needs. My goal is to create a nurturing and stress-free experience, giving dogs the affection and attention they deserve while their owners are away.
“This girl is simply amazing, she was able to memorise a hell of a lot of information in such a short amount of time and she took care of my darling cats the best way possible not to mention that she is extremely accommodating as well. My cats also loved her which is a massive thing in and on it’s own. I will be booking her again for sure and I would definitely recommend her. Worth every penny.”

About: Currently apart of the ItsNotADogKennel Team, I’m a cat mom with two fur babies of my own so I’m confident handling cats of all ages, from tiny kittens to senior sweethearts. I’m comfortable giving them lots of love, keeping their space clean, and understanding their unique little personalities. On top of that, I have light hands on experience from helping in a reptile store and a bird store, which gave me basic knowledge and confidence around a variety of animals, from snakes and lizards to parrots and budgies. I’m always willing to learn more about different types of pets and their specific care needs. exploring my next steps in the animal care field. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m now looking to build more hands on experience while figuring out where I want to go long-term, I’m currently available full time and pretty flexible so whether it’s short notice, overnight stays, or longer term house sits, I’ve got the time and commitment to make sure your pets and home are well looked after.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
I was initially anxious about my cat spending the weekend with someone else, but Rosie and my cat immediately hit it off!! Rosie was clearly emotionally intelligent with my cat, easy to reach out to, and sent me daily pictures. Rosie is definitely someone I'm happy to continue to use to house-sit when I'm away.
Nicole was amazing ! She stayed in my home and looked after my Yorkie. She was very timely , asked all the right questions , administered his medication and took great care of him. She sent me photos and regular updates. It was clear that my dog really liked her and had a great time with her ! She made me feel at ease leaving him with her. I would highly recommend! I’m definitely booking with her again 🥰
Adline took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive and it was clear she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’d happily book with her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter. ☺️
Sophia has been an excellent house sitter looking after Jessie while I was away for 10 days. She kept me reassured with regular updates and Jessie was able to bond with her quickly. She was diligent in her attention to Jessie picking up on minor issues and making me aware. She also maintained the house very well. Would happily recommend to anymore for pet care
Mani looked after my ragdoll, Maverick, while I was away and honestly I couldn’t have asked for more. Came back to a spotless apartment and a very happy cat! He played with Maverick every day and sent updates without being asked. The bit that I loved the us most was that he ask me if he could introduce him to his two dogs (both lovely, properly well behaved). I of course said yes, because I wanted him to know other animals. Maverick was cautious at first, but actually grew to trust them, which is amazing. Would book Mani again without thinking twice!
Linke was an absolutely wonderful catsitter for our two cats! She took fantastic care of them and they felt comfortable and happy around her really quickly (even our very nervous cat!). They were in very safe hands with Linke and we absolutely recommend her to anyone ☺️🌸✨
Alma was absolutely lovely - I warmed to her as soon as I opened the door. She was brilliant at looking after Hugo and was very careful to follow our suggestions of how to look after him. I felt very safe with her and Hugo had a wonderful day. We will definitely invite Alma back and really look forward to seeing her again.
Benjamin looked after our toy poodle Darcy for a week. He gave her all her medication needed took her on walks and also gave her plenty of cuddles and sent lots of updates. We had never used a dog sitter before so Darcy had some separation anxiety, however Benjamin preserved and put Darcy and us at ease. He left our house clean and tidy. Would recommend him as a dog sitter and would use again!
Frida was absolutely amazing! She kept me reassured the entire time with consistent morning and evening updates, and was quick to flag any issues or concerns straight away. She truly went above and beyond, spoiling my little boy with plenty of playtime, treats, and cuddles. I was away for two weeks, the longest we’ve ever been apart, so I was initially very anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Frida made the whole experience so much easier. Waking up each morning to a photo or video of my little boy was such a comforting way to start the day. I can’t recommend Frida highly enough! 🤍 🐾 🐈⬛
Anthony did an amazing job! I'm really thankful to him. I love my dog, but she isn't socialized, and Anthony came by 16 times, almost every weekday, to get her used to him. At the end, I could travel with peace of mind that my dog would be in good hands! During my trip, we kept in touch, and he updated me on everything with photos and videos. I highly recommend his service!
We can’t recommend Anita highly enough! She stepped in at the very last minute after we were unexpectedly let down by another sitter, and she was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, kind, and incredibly loving towards our three Fox Ref Labradors and our Cavachon. It was clear straight away that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. She gave them daily walks, lots of attention and affection, and kept them happy and settled while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. She also left our home clean and tidy, which was such a lovely touch. The boys absolutely adored her, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to use her again. Thank you, Anita, for being so caring and dependable, you truly went above and beyond!💖
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this wonderful woman! She took care of my cats like they were her own, kept me updated constantly and took away ALL the anxiety I had about hiring a cat sitter! This was my first time using Rover and Nikki was spectacular! She was super interactive with them and gave them so much love and attention I couldn’t ask for more. I had no issues whatsoever and neither did the kitties! Thank you so very much again Nikki I’ll give them a cuddle for you :))

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 Birmingham 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 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!
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.
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.
