About: I've been looking after my friends' dogs since 2021 whenever they're away on holiday or travelling for work. Over the years, I've learned how to take care of dogs. I'm a patient, responsible, and caring person who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. Whether it's going for walks, playing, sticking to their usual routine, or simply giving them plenty of attention and cuddles, I always aim to provide the same level of care that I would want for my own. I am currently finishing up my PhD, so I have a very flexible schedule since I don't have a traditional 9-5 office job. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I enjoy spending time with animals. I always care for each pet according to their individual routine and the owner's instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn about their feeding schedule, exercise routine, favourite activities, and any special requirements. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I'm doing this for one simple reason: I genuinely, deeply love being around furry friends! Cats have always had my heart. I have my own sweet Indie cat back home in India named Nanni, which translates to little one, who I miss terribly every day. But when my girlfriend brought her two Golden Retrievers into my life, they completely won me over and showed me just how incredible dogs are, too. Now I'm totally hooked on both! I know your furry kids aren't just pets,they're family. Whether it's going for long tail-wagging walks, playing around, or just sitting together so they don't feel lonely while you're away, I'll treat them with the exact same warmth, patience, and affection I give my own. Your furry kids will always be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention with me. Because I work part-time, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to give your furry friends all the attention they need! I'm completely free every day from early morning until 4 PM, which is perfect for morning walks, breakfast drop-ins, or mid-day play sessions. I also have full days off each week, so I can offer dedicated, full-day care and spend extended quality time keeping your furry kids safe, happy, and cozy while you're away. Safety and trust mean the world to me. Whether I'm caring for your furry kids in your home or out on walks, I treat your routine with complete respect. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to keep them totally secure, strictly follow your feeding and care instructions, and make sure they feel calm, loved, and completely safe every second I'm with them!
About: I have the most hands-on experience with cats—I’ve raised my own rescue kitten from the time he was tiny, feeding him every few hours, cleaning, and helping him through every stage of early development. I’ve also cared for other cats, including those who were shy or adjusting to new environments, and I take pride in earning their trust through patience and calm attention. I have professionally cared for dogs , I truly love them. Back home, I volunteered with rescue groups and helped save many street dogs, making sure they were fed, safe, and supported until they could find proper homes. That experience deepened my compassion and adaptability with animals, especially those who are nervous, elderly, or in need of extra patience. What sets me apart is my calm, observant nature and my commitment to making each pet feel safe, respected, and cared for—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their home. I’m currently job hunting, which means I have plenty of time to care for pets at home. My days are flexible, and I’m usually around for most of the day and night. I already live with my own cat, so my home is quiet, calm, and pet-friendly. I’m very used to maintaining clean litter trays, keeping a regular feeding routine, and giving cats the space—or affection—they need. Whether your pet needs a peaceful place to stay or regular visits, I can adjust to what works best for them. I used to live with my own cat back home, and that experience taught me how to create a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. Now that I’m living in a flat, I make sure every window is secure, and I maintain a quiet, tidy space where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I’m careful with household items, keep routines consistent, and always prioritise their wellbeing. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or visiting them in theirs, I treat each one with patience and respect. I follow care instructions closely—feeding, cleaning, giving medication if needed—and take time to build trust with the animal. I know that being away from their owner can be stressful, so I do everything I can to help pets feel safe, seen, and cared for.
“Ben has been absolutely amazing looking after my cats while I was away for 4 days. He took such great care of them and followed all the instructions perfectly. He was incredibly helpful, very responsive, and kept me updated daily, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and will definitely be booking with him again. Thank you so much, Ben, for everything, you’re the best!”


“Maddy was fab with Cooper! I came back to find him just as chill and settled as he was when I left. She’s clearly taken good care of him. She also took some brilliantly hilarious photos of him that are some of my new favourites!”


About: Animals have always been one of the greatest joys in my life. I genuinely cannot imagine my world without them! If I had a bigger home, I would happily welcome even more furry companions into my life because I truly believe a home is happier with animals in it. I’ve been lucky enough to share 13 wonderful years with Rocky, our family dog, whom I’ve loved and helped care for throughout his life. Although Rocky lives at my family home rather than with me, he remains a very special part of my life. I also have eight years of experience with Socks, my beloved cat. Having both dogs and cats in my life has taught me that every animal has their own unique personality, needs and little habits. Some want endless cuddles and attention, while others prefer their independence. I love getting to know them and building a bond based on patience, affection and trust. For me, pet sitting is so much more than a job. It’s an opportunity to spend time doing something that genuinely makes me happy, while giving pet owners peace of mind that their beloved companions are being treated with kindness and care. I understand how precious our pets are because I feel exactly the same way about mine. Whether I’m taking your dog for a lovely walk, keeping your cat company or looking after your pets in their familiar home, I’ll treat them with the same love, respect and attention I would want for my own. I work Monday to Friday, from 9 AM to 5 PM, so my weekends are when I can dedicate more time to something I truly love which is caring for animals! I’m primarily available on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Friday evenings, for house sitting, dog walking and drop-in visits. I may also be available on weekday evenings by arrangement. I love spending my free time with animals, whether that’s going for a lovely walk, enjoying playtime or simply providing cuddles and companionship. I always plan my schedule carefully to ensure that every pet receives the attention, affection and care they deserve. I’m happy to discuss individual routines and needs with owners before confirming a booking. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving them in someone else’s care. When looking after your pet, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe and relaxed. I know every animal is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality, little habits and what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime or just keeping them company on the sofa. I’ll also make sure your home is respected and everything is left as I found it. I’m always happy to send photos and little updates while you’re away because I know how lovely it is to see that your pet is doing well. Most importantly, I’ll look after your pet with the same love and care I give Rocky and Socks. Animals bring so much happiness into my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them.

“Sophia is very nice, friendly, caring and reliable with my cat "Min Min". Min Min was a little cautious at first, but she recognised her very quickly and relaxed soon after. Sophia gave her some attention, brushing her hair and giving her cuddles. Sophia warmed to her and made friends quickly. We will definitely be booking you for the next time!”

“Fantastic cat sitter! My cats tend to be really nervous around new people but when Nicola first visited they both came up to her and not ran away. She was great at following the specific feeding instructions and gave great updates each feeding sessions. I would absolutely use Nicola again in the future.”

“Flexible, easy to contact and replied really quickly. Took great care of our two cats at short notice. Followed all feeding instructions and sent lots of pictures while we were away :)”

About: I own a small dog in China. I am good at getting along with dogs. I have more than 5 years of experience in raising dogs. As I am now working in the UK, I miss my dog very much, so I hope to relieve the missing by taking care of other dogs. I now work remotely and have a lot of time to spend with and take care of your dog. I would love to come to your house and take care of your dog while you are away. I am familiar with my dogs' dietary restrictions and health problem. I will pay attention to them when I walk the dog. Above all, I will take your advice to heart.
About: I am an experienced and highly reliable pet sitter with many years of experience from both having my own pets and caring for other people's dogs and cats (and the odd tortoise!). I am also fully DBS checked and insured, so you can have peace of mind leaving your pets with me :) I have 3 pets myself, 2 cats and a rabbit, and have always loved looking after animals. I have looked after both senior and young dogs and cats, and I would love to take care of your pet! I work part time, so will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I currently provide house sitting, day care and drop in visits in the comfort of your own home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and is well looked after while you are away. I love exploring in and around Birmingham, especially green spaces, and I'm sure your pets would love to join me!

About: I’ve been lucky enough to live with pets for the majority of my life including my family’s dogs Gizmo & Roland, a quirky pair. I’ve also helped out looking after my parents’ many foster dogs of all sizes & ages over the years which I have learned a lot from :) I’m currently working part time, and would love to hang out with pets in my free time. At the moment Thursday & Friday mornings are best for me! I’m always attentive & making sure your pets are having a good time! I’m able to drive to meet up and take pets to new & exciting places.

About: I have taken care of a couple of dogs in the last 3 years. A Shih Tzu and a Schnauzer. I had no prior experience beforehand and have adapted well. I do thorough cleans, play time, walks, feeding, bathing, medicine administration and general care and attention I work from home most of my week and look after my Shih Tzu. I live at home with my wife and I am close to my work so I am very flexible with care commitments if I am ever called into the office I live in a secure apartment with gated access, access to 2 patio gardens, 2 roof top gardens. I have plenty of space, green areas and walkable places near me. I have a small Shih Tzu that is very playful with other dogs
“Jasmine has looked after our dog Frankie a couple of times. She is always punctual and thorough, clearly very knowledgable and caring. Frankie always has a lovely time and is brilliantly well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her!”

About: With every dog I care for, I genuinely try to spend a lot of time with it whether it be playing or sitting and relaxing, rather than just letting it roam around by itself. I am an extremely active person as I was a 4 year athlete at the University of Virginia in the States but do also love my relaxation to chill and get comfortable when needed, meaning I am very capable of matching the highs and lows of the dogs energy. When in high school I cared for our neighbors’ dog very frequently for a couple years and cared for other dogs for different families here and there. I have received nothing but positive feedback and tried to continue my efforts in college but time management with school and a sport was very difficult. I know how important a pet can be to someone as I had lost my puppy in 2014 in a bad accident, so I try my best to treat every dog as if it was my own. I hope I get the chance to care for your dog! Have a nice day! I am currently working part time so I sill have plenty of time to meet the needs of the pup and also work around a good schedule for yourself I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always be nearby it so they don’t do anything or go anywhere that they are not supposed to. I will heavily monitor them
About: I love dogs and have my baby for 3 years. I take care of him very carefully everyday and he loves to play with me! I like to help my friends to walk their dogs once a week. I really enjoy it and want to have more opportunities to do it. I am very experienced about taking care of dogs and have all the medicines and food for dogs. It would be a nice condition for dogs to be with me.
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.

Vanda was amazing with my shy cat!!! She kept me updated while I was away and made sure Abbie was comfortable. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands, and I could actually relax while I was away from home, especially knowing how anxious Abbie can be around people. Vanda also kindly watered my plants, which I really appreciated! Thank you so much for everything! I’ll definitely be booking Vanda again in the future. Lots of love from me and Abbie! ❤️

Jusy bloody amazing, god really have him an awesome blessing gift!! He’s really REALLY sweet in texting as well as taking care of my cats, even if they were a bit skettish at first immediately fot warmed over eventually. Will be booking him again in future. (Even as my first time on this app he walked me through it and showed me everything that needs to be done and explain everything to me in the most simplest way I could ever ask for, he’s truth amazing and a gift. 1st best booker out there, helped me in my toughest times Where I had no one to watch my cats) my god bless him!!

Zakk was simply incredible. It's very obvious that he has a genuine love for cats. He went above and beyond what was expected. We had comprehensive and daily updates with photos throughout our holiday. Really proactive as well. I plan to ask Zakk when we have our next holiday and I fully recommend him 100%. Thank you Zakk, we really appreciate you!
Yifan lovingly refreshed Theo’s food and water, tidied up the litter box, and spent a lovely long time playing with him!She also sent me lots of adorable photos throughout the visit, which really made me feel at ease. Thank you so much for giving Theo such thoughtful care and keeping him company with so much love!
I can’t thank Chapa enough for all her love, care, and patience with our little girl. She is an extremely polite, kind, and friendly sitter who provided our cat with what she needed most – plenty of attention and playtime. Being a cat sitter myself, I have very high standards when it comes to pet care, and I wanted to find someone who really cares, not only in words but also through their actions. Someone who understands the issues and challenges that can come with rescue cats, and Chapa was perfect for that, as she also owns two beautiful rescue cats herself. I don’t think I will ever want to book anyone else for our Gabrielle 🥰❤️

Liliia was brilliant. She came round before I left to ensure Ernie was comfortable with her. He can be very shy but after a few meetings and some Dreamies he trusted her completely. He was very happy when I returned having been very well looked after with food, water and treats. Liliia has a natural love and affinity with animals and her caring nature came through in every interaction with Ernie. Thank you Liliia, we hope to see you again soon!

100% would recommend Maisie! I came home to a safe happy cat, everything was done exactly as I instructed and, while I was away I received plenty of reassurance and photo updates from Maisie, keeping me at peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with Maisie again ☺️

Teanna is very professional, respectful and polite. I felt completely comfortable leaving my kitten in her capable hands. The litter tray was always cleaned and Teanna sent me lots of cute photos of Nunde, which I really appreciated. It was my first time using a pet drop in service and I am picked the correct person. My Nunde got on with her very well. I will certainly book again and highly recommend anyone else to. I will only use Teanna for my holiday trips now, Nunde likes her and I do not like the idea of meeting different strangers. It is consistency for both myself and Nunde. Nunde also sends her approval on my choice and already misses Teanna.

Yes. There are up to 2,512 pet sitters offering care in and around Birmingham. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
