“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.”
About: I have always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a residential childcare team leader, I am responsible, trustworthy and confident managing routines, safety and individual needs. I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel comfortable, secure and well cared for while their owners are away. I am happy to provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and regular updates for owners. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and affection. I work a rotating shift pattern, so my availability varies from week to week.

Whether your pet needs feeding, companionship, playtime, litter tray cleaning or regular check-ins while you’re away, I will ensure they receive attentive and consistent care. I am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and keeping their environment clean, calm and stress-free. As a cat owner myself, I am experienced in feeding routines, litter tray maintenance and recognising when a pet may need extra attention. I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own, and I am happy to provide regular updates throughout my visits.
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

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.

About: Hi! I’m a young professional living with my boyfriend in a spacious ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. We are both huge animal lovers and grew up with dogs and cats, so we’re very comfortable caring for pets and understand the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I work from home one day a week and am available to look after dogs on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We love spending time outdoors and would ensure your dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout their stay. I am available for check ins/ dog walking lunchtimes in the Edgbaston area. We have a car, which means we can also take dogs out to the countryside for longer walks and adventures. Whether your dog is energetic and loves exploring or prefers a more relaxed pace, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. We’re genuine dog lovers and would treat your pet as if they were our We would love to look after dogs from Thursday through to Sunday. I work from home on Fridays, which means I can provide plenty of company throughout the day and take dogs out for lunchtime walks as well as morning and evening exercise. We’re very relaxed when it comes to pets and are happy for dogs to be on the sofa and feel at home with us. Our day usually starts around 7am on work-from-home days and around 8–9am at weekends, so we’re well suited to dogs that enjoy an early start as well as those who prefer a slower morning. We’re happy to tailor activities to your dog’s needs, whether that’s long countryside walks, shorter local walks, trips to the park, or simply relaxing at home. If your dog is sociable and enjoys being out and about, we’d be happy to take them to dog-friendly pubs or restaurants. Equally, if they’re more of a homebody, we’re more than happy to spend cosy evenings on the sofa with plenty of attention and cuddles. We live in a spacious one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, with easy access to several local parks and walking routes. We enjoy getting outdoors and regularly go on walks around the local area, and we also have a car, which means we’re able to take dogs on longer walks to larger parks or out into the countryside if they enjoy exploring further afield. We’re very flexible and like to tailor our routine to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog prefers a quick stroll around the block, a trip to the park, or a longer adventure, we’re happy to play it by ear and do what makes them happiest. We’re very laid-back pet lover and want dogs to feel completely at home with us. We’re happy for dogs to be on the sofa and, if permitted by their owners, on the bed too. The apartment has hard flooring throughout, making it practical, easy to keep clean, and comfortable for dogs.
“Vanda is so friendly, calm and was able to pick up on my care instructions for Luna quickly. Luna was receptive of her at first but later on got on well. I’m happy with Vanda’s services and would recommend her to others!”
“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: While I don’t have formal experience in dog care, I genuinely believe that my friendly and understanding nature makes me a trustworthy company for your puppies. I am very calm and caring person who would love to provide the care and love your pets deserve. :) I work from home 9-5 and available on weekdays exclusion Thursdays to look after your pets. I am also open to take care of them on Saturdays and Sundays I live in an apartment with no balcony access but have lovely glass windows which gives plenty of sunlight and views for your pets to enjoy as they roam free. I have a cozy, spacious hall with a joint kitchen where they can relax and be comfortable while I cook meals. I am sure they will feel at home here.
About: I have spent my life surrounded by animals, and I cannot imagine it any other way. Over the years I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, turtles, fish, sheep, and many others. Each one has taught me something new, and that range of experience has made me a calm, observant, and adaptable carer. I have a particular soft spot for dogs. I see them as gentle, loyal little companions who give so much love so freely, and I believe they deserve to be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Because animals cannot use words, I pay close attention to their behaviour, body language, habits, and small changes in mood. To me, this is how real trust is built. A formative experience for me was caring for a rescue Corgi who had a limb amputation. Over two years with her, I came to understand how much consistency, gentle handling, and emotional reassurance can mean to an animal who has been through difficulty. I never consider myself an expert, because every animal continues to teach me more. I currently share my home with two cats, and I have experience with small and exotic pets, including a wonderfully long-lived hamster. I am comfortable following detailed feeding routines, keeping food and litter areas clean, giving medication when needed, and sending regular photo updates so you can feel reassured while you are away. What matters most to me is simple: your pet should feel safe, loved, and understood. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m available for both short-term and long-term care—feel free to get in touch anytime. I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow routines carefully, monitor behavior, and provide updates. In owners’ homes, I respect their space and pets’ familiar habits.
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 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.
“Booked again Jan 2026- Rosie went out of her way to help me out last minute. Will send lots of photos of your pets and is very accommodating on preferred times. Came home to a very content cat and I can feel relaxed going away knowing that he is being taken good care of. Would recommend!:-)”
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.
“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!”
“Sophie was very friendly and nice and seemed to have a very nice way about her with my dog Delilah when I introduced her. She communicated well with me and sent me pictures of Delilah which was lovely :)”

Zak is fantastic. That is it. We have used him repeatedly. Totally reliable; goes above and beyond and is really caring. We have four cats with a variety of personalities and Zak navigates them all brilliantly and wins them all round. I wouldn’t have anyone else.
Qali was an absolute joy to look after my kitten. My kitten warmed to her quickly which was lovely to see ! She provided me loads of pictures and updates and for that I will be 100% booking her again. If you are ever in need of an attentive sitter, Qali is the person for you! I can’t recommend her enough 💕
Absolutely fantastic cat sitter! She provided plenty of updates and photos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. She followed all care instructions perfectly and clearly took great care of my cat. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend!
Rosie is absolutely lovely and friendly. She was always punctual for every visit, and our cats adored her (they even gave her a little grooming session, haha!). She was very tidy, attentive to detail and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any pet parent. Thank you so much Rosie x
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 🥰❤️

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!

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.
