“Ryan looked after our 2 cats and 2 dogs and did a brilliant job! We didn’t recommend walking our dogs as they can be a bit much but he did so anyway and got on well. House left clean and tidy! Very much enjoyed the summary and pictures we got sent. 100% would recommend Ryan - such a lovely guy as well”
About: I've always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs. Growing up, I've cared for many different breeds of dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals. I've also cared for dogs for friends and family, including feeding, playtime, companionship and keeping to their usual routines. I have experience with senior dogs, having adopted a 10-year-old rescue dog and caring for their individual needs. I've also been around puppies from the very beginning, supporting a family dog through giving birth and helping care for the puppies from birth. These experiences have taught me to be patient, attentive and understanding that every pet is different. I will always take the time to learn each pet's individual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I work full-time during the week, so my main availability is weekday evenings and weekends. I hold a full UK driving licence, allowing me to travel to clients for dog walks and home visits. I'm happy to arrange visits around your pet's routine and will always do my best to accommodate your preferred times. I can offer regular or one-off visits and am happy to discuss your pet's individual needs. Your pet's safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. During home visits, I will follow your instructions and your pet's usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime and companionship. I will make sure doors, gates and other exits are secure and will always treat your pet and your home with care and respect. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away.
“Maggie was so lovely - she came to meet the dogs before looking after them! Great communication and the doggies loved her!! Thank you so much for taking care of them xx”
About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
“Jess C. Was an excellent sitter for Clyde. A very nice and pleasant young lady. She sent us regular reports and photographs. She left the house and a very clean and tidy state. I would not hesitate to book Jess C. In the future. And I can highly recommend her to any one else who wants a pet sitter in the future. Thank you Jess C. ?”
“Jake came to stay overnight for us when we were away. He turned up on time and I felt really confident that the house and Zeus world be in excellent hands while we are away. He kept in regular contact with us and when we returned it was clear that he had taken really good care of Zeus and the house. Would recommend and look forward to Jake coming back to help us again.”
About: I've been taking care of my friends dogs for years now, used to have a dog of my own, that I loved and cherished for years. I am available in the evenings and during the weekends as I have a full time job, but have free evenings from 5 and all weekends. I can take care of your pets depending on your dogs needs and would follow strictly directions on how to take care of your furry friend.
“We have just got back after being away for 4 days. Oscar has been fantastic with the dogs and the house is immaculate. I think he really loved his time here and the dogs were certainly happy and well cared for. His communication skills are excellent. Thoroughly recommend..”
“Very much appreciated the patience and care Jon and his wife took whilst looking after Polly. She appreciated the relaxing walks in the orchard near the house and they were very understanding when managing her reactivity. I would absolutely book them again.”
“Maria is definitely a 5 star sitter, my two dogs and cats adore when she comes to stay. I'm kept up to date with how tings are going and Maria takes the time to understand the needs of both the pets and the poor human servant who is being relieved of care. Maria is now our go to sitter!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and sizes. I regularly provide boarding, walks, and day care in our home in Peterborough. We live in a spacious house with a garden, close to several parks, where pets can enjoy safe walks and playtime. Animals are treated with love, attention, and care, as if they were part of our family. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my priority I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets every day. I am available throughout the week and on weekends, making sure your furry friend gets all the attention, playtime, and walks they need.

I live in a spacious home with a secure garden where dogs can play safely. Our neighborhood has beautiful parks nearby for daily walks.

If needed, I can also follow specific routines or instructions to match each pet’s needs.
“Was a bit apprehensive as we’ve always left all are other dogs with family. However Joan’s was a joy. Very reliable kept us in touch daily and cooper loved her. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again. Than you x”
“Diana is an excellent pet sitter! We were lucky to had found her. She came to see our pets twice before staying at ours for a week. She sent daily updates and photos. She left the house clean and tidy. We are definitely contacting Diana again if we ever need help with our fur babies and we are 100% recommending Diana to our friends too!”

“Hannah was absolutely brilliant and our dog Zuco loved her. Zuco isn’t always the easiest to look after as he is a very anxious rescue dog but Hannah seemed to take it all in her stride.”

“Amanda is a wonderful sitter! She is kind and friendly, and took excellent care of Charlie at my home. She shared updates and photos and I felt completely at ease while I was away. 100% recommend! Thank you Amanda x”
About: I’m not just a pet lover; I’m trained in professional animal care. I hold a recognised qualification in Dog Grooming, which gave me invaluable experience in understanding canine anatomy and individual temperaments. This training also included Dog First Aid, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe hands. I am also DBS checked. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals - from dogs and cats to parrots, lizards, and rabbits! I genuinely love their company and will always treat your pets with the same respect and high level of care I would give my own. I run my own pet photography business (which includes a hybrid sitting/photography service) called The Dog Frame. While your daily updates will usually be quick snapshots from my phone, I do like to bring my professional camera along for longer house sits/bookings to capture a few high quality images of your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My schedule is quite flexible, and I can often work it around the needs of you and your pet. If I commit to taking care of your pet, my full and undivided attention will be given. I have trained in an educational setting in how to correctly and safely look after and care for dogs. I am able to recognise different behaviours, which can be helpful in certain situations, such as identifying a potential problem before it escalates - I feel this is important, as there can be much more to pet care than meets the eye. The safety and comfort of your pet will always be my top priority.

I have complete confidence in Maria and when I am away from home I know that my boys are in good and capable hands. Even though I don't request them Maria always sends me some photos or videos and I can see just how relaxed and happy they are around her and I highly recommend her.
Maria looked after our three year-old lab Coral for two weeks over the New Year and into January, house sitting and looking after Coral from our home. Maria was absolutely fantastic, sending updates and photos every day and we could not have been happier. I’m pretty sure Coral is missing Maria today now we’re home! Thank you again, Maria for your loving care and attention, for looking after Coral from home which is the best place for her as she can keep to her usual walks and routines. I highly recommend Maria’s dog sitting service.
Maria was a delight from start to finish. From our initial video call she instilled us with confidence and she never let this slip. She kept us up to date at just the right intervals with reassuring messages and photos and was ultra respectful of our house (including an overnight stay). We came back the following day to find a very happy hound and that is exactly what we hoped for. Will have no hesitation in booking Maria again, if she’s available - she’s great!
Shannon did great with Monty. Really attentive and made sure he stuck with his routine. Took him out for walks and was able yo update us throughout the night whilst we were away. Left our home clean and tidy, which is a relief with such a manic 4 weel old! Can't fault her so full 5 stars. Have recommended her to our neighbour who needs a committed walker.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Boston walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. 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 .
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 Boston 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
