“Alison and her family are so friendly and welcoming, they took excellent care of my dogs, keeping me updated with photos of their time, I would definitely use Alison again”
“Excellent communication. Lovely to receive photo and video pupdates while we were away 😀 Pippa has returned home today and is definitely missing you guys - think she may have been spoiled rotten 🤣 Thank you for taking such good care of her 🐕”
“Absolutely fabulous. Puggy and Tess couldn’t have been happier. Alex is great with dogs and straight away they both were happy and settled in. The garden is prefect for dogs and fully enclosed.”
“As a dog owner who's never used a boarder before, Amy was an absolute dream to have come across. She was great communicating and my dog absolutely loved her. He had the best time and I felt so confident leaving him with her. Thank you and will absolutely be back in touch when I next need to 😊”

“Oscar had a wonderful time with Matthew and Raissa. He was happy and relaxed. He enjoyed all his walks and spotting squirrels. We were updated with photos while we were away. I can’t praise Matthew and Raissa enough for the care Oscar received.”
“Lauren and her partner took the best care of cocoa! They regularly sent us updates and pictures of her, and she had the best time with them. Even got her a pup cup! Would definitely recommend them if you want a happy doggo❤️ Thanks guys x”
About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.
About: We’ve been dog owners for 15 years and sadly had to have our dog put to sleep earlier this year. Home feels different without a dog so happy to host yours! Husband works from home and has the time to look after pets whilst working. Will also be able to fit a short walk in whilst working if needed. Also operate the coffee trailer down at Dukes Drive,Monton so are used to seeing all different dogs! I don’t work Monday or Tuesday and my husband works from home so always someone in the house. Morning, lunchtime and evening walks are no problem. Large fenced garden with plenty of space for playing. I have a good sized home with space for dogs to snooze and play. Quiet area, ideal for dog walks.
“I can recommend Chen 110%, such a lovely lady, she has been fantastic with our German Shepherd. Lots of communication, pictures and videos and I feel completely at ease now. I have booked Chen in again for when we go away and I can guarantee Hunter will love his stay. Thank you so much and looking forward to seeing you soon 😊”
“Anthony had Benji, our Jack Russell Dachshund for a night and safe to say it was a success! Anthony kept us well informed and Benji had a great time. Will absolutely book Anthony again!!”
“Nancy stayed with Gabriella and her family for 17 nights whilst we went to Australia. Within the first 5 mins of meeting Gabriella I wanted Nancy to stay with her. She is such a warm caring person who genuinely wanted to know about Nancy (and me). Nancy had a play date and two over night stays to get her ready for her long stay - just to ensure Nancy, Gabriella and her family were all happy - these went great. Nancy’s long stay was a huge success. Gabriella kept in contact with me whilst I was away - there were no issues at all. When I picked Nancy up she was immaculate - not an easy job with a cavapoochon. Gabriella had also washed all her blankets etc which was not expected but greatly appreciated. I would 100% recommend Gabriella and her family and would not hesitate to book Nancy in with her again in the future. It is such a relief to know that Nancy was so well cared for (and loved) whilst we were away.”
“Camilla was absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough!! I knew from the moment I met her, her delightful daughter and partner that my dog would be in the most exceptionally safe and kind hands. Camilla is warm and empathetic as a person - she knows how to look after animals with dedication and professionalism. She regularly sent pictures of videos always keeping me updated. She will always be the first person I will ask going forward to look after my dog when I’m away and require someone to look after her. Thank you so much Camilla!! 🙏🤗😀”
“Sandra looked after Storm for an evening and Storm had a great time and settled in so quickly with her and her partner. I got lots of videos and photos which helped put my mind at ease that Storm was having a great time. Storm can be unsure of new people, but Sandra agreed to a pre meet and also made sure she asked lots of questions so she knew how to best look after Strom. Storm also had a day visit with Sandra and her partner for a walk and had a great time. Thanks so much!”
“We can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of our dog Millie. All of the lovely photo and video updates were great for settling any nerves we had for leaving her for the first time with someone besides family. She seemed very happy, content and comfortable. A real home from home, we would definitely use you again!”
“Michael was brilliant, and the best care I've had for my dog yet! He and his family truly love dogs and that is reflected in the care they provided. Communication before and during the stay was brilliant and I could tell on pick up how comfortable my dog was with them. I would book again in a heartbeat!”

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.

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.
