“Our dog Betty has just had 2 weeks with Karl & his family, and she has been so well looked after. I didn’t have to worry once while we were away, she was enjoying walks and lots of cuddles, and made a friend for life in their dog Kev! She had the best time and it was like home from home for her! Thank you so much 💕”
“Amazing experience! My dog stayed for 2 weeks and had a great time. He usually has separation anxiety, but Andrea and her family gave him so much love and care that he settled in right away. Will absolutely book again next time!”
“We are very happy with the care Reggie had .We received loads of photos and information on how he was getting on.Would definitely use Samantha again she was amazing.”
“This is my second booking with Wai Han and another brilliant experience! I was sent regular updates, photos & videos of Porridge clearly having a brilliant time with her and I was completely relaxed on my holiday knowing he was in such good hands. She really pays attention to your pet’s needs and treats them like a part of the family. We’re both so happy to have found her and I 100% recommend! 🩷”
“Olivia did an excellent job of caring for Oakley, she was very friendly for the meet and greet and could see he would be well looked after, pictures during the stay was appreciated and he returned calm and content, I would absolutely recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, lost my vizsla of 11 years in Aug 2025 and currently volunteer for Makants greyhound rescue. WFH full time, single person household. Have had dogs from puppy and trained them myself, also experienced with senior dogs through the rescue and my own dogs decline in health. I work from home full time so my routine is whatever your dog’s routine is, I follow their usual schedule. I can walk, feed, cuddle and play anytime during the day. I have a fenced in garden and a single person household with no other pets. Your dog will have access to the garden all day and walks down the canal and through Worsley wood daily.
“Hannah is so lovely! The dogs loved her and her garden 😂 would highly recommend Hannah, plenty of updates and photos sent too, felt very at ease with leaving my two babies with her. Thank you again! X”
“Absolutely fantastic. This was our first time using a dog boarder via Rover and was naturally a bit apprehensive. Can’t fault Eleanor one bit, she did a meet and greet with us before booking which reassured us that Dougie would be looked after. Dougie had a fantastic 9 day holiday with her whilst we were out of the country. She kept us updated with photos and videos of Dougie whilst he was with her and he absolutely loved his time there. Have already rebooked for our next weekend away.”
“Kate was fast to reply to my messages and to answer my questions, and she was kind enough to let Peppa visit before I made a booking. I was a bit apprehensive at how Peppa would settle with a new sitter given she has separation anxiety, but upon arrival it was obvious that she immediately felt at home. Kate kept me updated throughout with pics and messages letting me know how everything was going. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks very much, Peppa can't wait to come back!”
“Gemma has been looking after my my staff (Nyla) Who is very energetic, but a softy, she has taken well to Gemma, which is all you want for your baby. Gemma, has taken on board the needs of my dog as I need something consistent, which makes me happy as a dog owner.”
“Chen was amazing, she helped us out with just a couple of weeks' notice with Obie. Her communication was excellent and she made a real effort to get to know Obie, including a no obligation "get to meet you" session with him. Through the whole booking period Chen was brilliant at keeping in touch; sending photos, what they had been up to, and how he was doing with food and function, which was so reassuring. Highly recommended and I will definitely book with Chen again.”
“We have a cockapoo aged 8 who has been very clingy, nervous and at times reactive to other dogs on his walk due previously being attacked by another dog. Sarah was amazing from the first point of contact, listened to everything we shared and provided reassurance that she has previously supported dogs with similar needs. We arranged a trial stay over in advance of the date our dog was going to Sarah, Sarah was warm and friendly from the minute we went into her home, our dog went straight over to Sarah and we could see he felt at ease; such a relief! Sarah kept in touch with photographs an dour dog had a lovely time, was not stressed or anxious when we picked him up; the same on the following stay over. We would highly recommend Sarah and will definitely be booking in for the future with her.”
“Absolutely brilliant sitter. Sophie had our 4 month old pup and he had a blast. The videos and pics were so welcomed and we were kept informed of how he was doing the whole way. Would definitely book again.”
“Karen was lovely and approachable, you can tell she's very experienced with dogs, which was reassuring. Ellie had a great stay, we got plenty of pics and videos which was great. Thanks!”

This was the first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. We had a pre stay visit which was very reassuring. My dog loved Hannah and immediately looked confident with her dogs and in her home. Whilst away Hannah was kind enough to keep me updated with messages and pictures, which meant I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. We will definitely be using Hannah again as regulars!! 😀 Thanks so much Hannah xx
Janet took care of Toby extremely well. She was very sensitive to his needs and kept me up to date with photos and updates about him. He loved her big garden and was free to roam in it. Janet is a very kind and caring person and I will be asking her to look after Toby again.
Absolutely wonderful service, clean home, 2 other lovely friendly dogs, adorable little family. She was treated as one of the family with plenty of company and fuss which she loves. Our dog was kept well looked after and we were kept well updated on how she was the whole time we were away. Plenty of photos received. Remi even took the time to give the dog a bath which she loves and helped to keep her cool in this hot weather and all around made sure that our beloved pet was kept well looked after whilst we were away. We will definitely use Remi again.
Absolutely awesome from start to finish. 🥰 Angela is the perfect choice to look after your furry friends. Communication was outstanding and the fab pictures were a treat for us, clearly showing what an amazing time our Nige was having without us. I just hope Angela’s diary is free for the next time we need someone to love our Nige as much as us. 🤞😎
I couldn’t recommend Pat enough. We’d never left Olive with anyone outside my parents but as we were getting married abroad, we needed to find somewhere else for her to stay. I was nervous about sending her somewhere new but I really didn’t have to be. Pat was lovely from the get go, answering any questions I had and letting me pop round for a chat before we booked. While we were away, we had regular updates and photos which we loved! Olive looked like she was having the best time being spoiled by Pat. Thank you so much for having her Pat. Olive will definitely be back for another staycation!
Ross is an amazing dog sitter! Fast to reply to messages, invited me and Peppa over for a meet and greet before making a booking, and has a lovely home and family too. When I dropped Peppa off for her first overnight stay she settled in immediately and was clearly made to feel at home. Ross sent me loads of pics, and took Peppa on a long walk, which she loved. I couldn't have asked for more. Pretty sure Peppa agreed given she wasn't in a rush to leave when I arrived to collect her! Thanks very much.
Jessica and Chances were amazing with Mehlu! Before confirming the booking, we had a meet & greet, and they asked lots of questions about her daily routine and personality, which really showed how thoughtful and attentive they are. Jessica also kept us very well updated with lots of photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. Mehlu looked so happy and relaxed – clearly enjoying all the attention and cuddles 😂 You can tell they genuinely love dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving her with them. Highly recommended – we would definitely book again! 😊🐶
Denielle and her boyfriend looked after our Frenchie, Lola for a weekend while we got married (we wanted her there but she is far too excitable around lots of people). They were absolutely amazing with her, they suggested a home visit before the stay so that she could have a wonder around and make sure she was comfortable there. They kept us updated with how she was and sent us pictures from on her walks. Lola had a fantastic time there and was treated as if she was their own family pet. We would highly recommend booking with Denielle and we will certainly be booking with them again next time we need a dog sitter.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
