“I reached out to Liam and Tim for daily check ins on Kobe while I’m out at work. They came to our house to meet Kobe in their spare time before starting the check ins and Kobe fell in love with them both! He is very big and bouncy and they were fab with him! They send me so many pictures of Kobe playing while they’re with him which just makes my day!! Lovely guys that I will continue to use for daily check ins!”

About: Hi, I’m Shannon! I provide dedicated one-to-one pet care, focusing on one household at a time so your pets always receive my full attention. I’m fully DBS checked, insured and CPD certified. My calm, patient approach makes me especially suited to nervous, rescue, elderly and reactive pets. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, relaxed and loved in their own environment, and I always tailor my care to their individual routine and personality. Regular photo updates and meet-and-greets are all part of the service. 🐾 Pet care fits around my part-time schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to every booking. I only care for one household at a time, so each pet receives my full attention without juggling multiple families. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, depending on the service required. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I care for pets in their own familiar environment where they feel happiest and most secure. Before every booking I arrange a meet-and-greet to learn about routines, personalities, feeding, medications and any special requirements. I’m fully DBS checked, insured and provide regular photo and video updates throughout every stay.
“Katie was awesome! We booked her to visit our little bichon 4 times while we were away and she did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is in need of pet care services.”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have had small and large dogs and experience of walking and caring. My dog Luna now is a great Dane and enjoy walking up mountains and to rivers. I have a good level of fitness so able to take dogs on similar walks if wanted. I work full time as a nurse but looking for enjoyment on my days off I currently work full time as a nurse. I do shift work so am able to dedicate time to something I really enjoy. I love being outdoors and have a good level of fitness. I have experience of looking after dogs and have my own dog since a puppy. She initially was a very nervous puppy but with patient she is a fab dog now who enjoys being out and with my children.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my strong background in animal care combined with years of hands-on, real-life experience. I studied Animal Care at college for almost five years, which gave me a solid understanding of animal behaviour, welfare, and the importance of proper daily care. Alongside my studies, I have spent much of my life caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as looking after pets for friends and family who trusted and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their animals while they were away. This experience has taught me how important routine, patience, and individual attention are for keeping pets happy and relaxed. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every pet is different, and I take the time to understand their needs, personalities, and routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Although I work full time Monday to Friday, I have plenty of free time before and after work, allowing me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 17:00, as well as throughout weekends, when I can dedicate even more time to walks, play, and companionship. My routine is calm and structured, which helps pets settle quickly and feel comfortable in my care. Mornings and evenings are always focused on feeding, walks, playtime, and one-to-one attention, ensuring pets never feel rushed or overlooked. Weekends offer even more flexibility, making them ideal for longer stays, extra walks, and relaxed time together. Whether it’s weekday evenings or weekend boarding, your pet will be welcomed into a safe, caring environment where their routine and wellbeing always come first. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. My home is fully fenced, providing a secure outdoor space where pets can enjoy fresh air safely under supervision. I also have CCTV cameras both inside and outside the property, offering an extra layer of security and constant monitoring for complete peace of mind. While in my care, each pet will be fitted with an AirTag, allowing their location to be tracked at all times. This added precaution ensures that, should the unexpected ever occur, your pet can be located quickly and easily. In addition to these measures, I closely supervise all pets, follow their usual routines, and take time to understand their individual needs and boundaries. My aim is to create a safe, calm, and secure environment where you can feel confident knowing your pet is protected and well cared for at all times.
About: Loads of experience being a dog mum to three different breads, different temperaments and different needs to a GSP , Beagle and a Mini Dachshund With a flexible university schedule, I’m often home, making it easy for me to care for my own dogs and look after other fur babies. I assure care, safety and full attention towards my pets and other owners dogs. I’m a great sitter as patient, responsible whilst also keeping the environment clean and comfortable for them. My flexible university schedule means I can spend quality time with pets, and my experience with my own dogs has taught me how to handle different temperaments and needs with care and confidence.
About: I once cared for a goldfish named Chuckie for 13 years, and have since taken on my partner's pets (1 dog, 2 rabbits and 4 rats). I regularly feed them and walk Shadow (our handsome husky) and my partner is happy for me to keep doing these. I also help with litter changes and enrichment, and have recently helped with vet care for one of our rabbits, including administering medications. I'm currently out of work and looking to set up a business, so I have lots of time to care for and play with animals of any kind I feed the dog, rabbits and rats regularly, and walk our dog as often as possible. I also help with vet visits when a pet is unwell.
“A big paws up from Esmae and Gizmo ! 🐶🐶 My two Chi's took to Brooke straight away during the intro visit so we decided to book her for 3 sits whilst we were attending a wedding. Brooke was punctional and shared lots of lovely photos so I knew all was fine. My Chi's can be pretty are to please but from the photos they were clearly enjoying all the cwtches and treats. Brooke was polite and clearly loves animals. Would recommend and book again 😊👍”
About: I'm back!!! Im back on Rover after giving birth to my beautiful daughter to care for your little loved ones. It's fair to say I have missed my furry friends. Unfortunately we are no longer taking boardings due to having our daughter, but I am willing to help with everything I possibly can to make your pet feel safe and loved whilst your at work, on holiday, working on late or even have some last minute plans. For the ones that I haven't met... I would consider myself a huge animal lover all big and small. Me & my partner have cared for various animals over the years including reptiles, dogs, cats, aquarium you name it... When booking can I please kindly ask after we have discussed arrangements that you confirm your booking as this can affect my diary and the opportunity for other furry friends! Thank you 😀 I will try my best to accommodate as much as I can, as I will be working with Rover along side my SAHM role. So will be available most days come rain or shine, so even on those wet dreary days you dread walking I'm here to help. Please be sure to let us know of your dogs nervous surroundings or allergies. What they love and also dislike And also they're comforts and bad habbits ?

Fabulous service from Liam and Timmi. I'm very sorry I have unsociable cats!! I have felt totally relaxed being away from them and I can't thank Liam and Timmi enough for the expert care my pets have received. Thank you very much. I would definitely recommend Rover, they were so helpful, when I made a mistake with the booking. I would 100% use again.

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.
