“Alison went over and above to ensure that my cat was fed, watered and happy during our absence, sending regular updates and pictures. I would have every confidence in using her again and in recommending her to other pet owners.”
“Katie is awesome! She responded to messages very quickly and was very kind and polite. We have already booked two visits for our little boy and we were so pleased with her service, so we booked another two visits again for the next few days! Our little boy seemed very happy and was well looked after. Thank you so much Katie!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. What started as a natural love of animals has since become my profession. I'm now a qualified animal behaviourist with a Postgraduate Certificate in Companion Animal Behaviour and Welfare, which means I don't just look after your dog — I understand them. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer sit, you can trust your dog is in safe, knowledgeable hands. I know what to do to keep your dog happy, settled, entertained and safe. I run my own dog and cat behaviour consultancy, which means my schedule is flexible. Drop ins fit naturally around my working day and I'm used to planning my time around animals and your pets will always be my priority during a booked visit. I'm available across the week and can discuss timing to suit your routine. When I visit your home for a drop in, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd give my own. Your pet stays in their familiar environment, with their own smells, routine and comfort which is often far less stressful than going somewhere new. As a qualified animal behaviourist, I'm trained to read dog and cat body language and respond appropriately, so I'll always handle your pet calmly and confidently. I follow your instructions to the letter and will always update you during every visit.
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.
“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 😊👍”
“Laura was an exceptional dog sitter and proved to be both reliable and absolutely amazing with our three dogs. From the moment she arrived, she engaged them with genuine enthusiasm, taking the time to play and interact in a way that clearly delighted them. She carefully followed every instruction we provided, demonstrating both attentiveness and professionalism throughout. Our dogs formed an immediate and affectionate bond with her, which spoke volumes about her natural ability and gentle approach. We would not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone seeking a trustworthy, capable, and truly wonderful caregiver for their pets.”

“Shannon is a very kind and conscientious sitter, always double checking whether everything she does is up to your specific requirements and went above and beyond keeping our kitty happy while we were away, provided loads of photos and videos and put us at ease. Even gifted a toy, which our cat really enjoys despite not being much of a toy lover. Highly recommended, especially if you have a timid cat, Shannon is very gentle and patient.”
“Laura has had my dog a few times now, from overnight to pop in visits. I was very worried at due to never have left him with anyone other than family. Arlo now loves seeing Laura and I would highly highly recommend Laura as she is great with dogs. keeps you updated through the day with info and pictures etc! no reason to use anyone else going forward!”

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 Blaenau Gwent 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.

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.
