“Ryan was an absolutely amazing choice, and we couldn’t be happier with his care. From the very beginning, it felt like the best decision we could have made. He took wonderful care of our two cats and our gecko — all of them are happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after. Ryan fulfilled all of our expectations and even went above and beyond. Every day he kept us updated about the situation at home, sent us photos, and made sure our pets received attention, care, and love. Thanks to him, we were able to relax completely, knowing our animals were in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional, Ryan is the best choice you can make — truly a 10/10 experience. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-quality pet care! 🐾”

About: I have spent years building trust one walk at a time. Wether its a high or low energy dog. I adjust my approach to what each dog's needs. I build pet care into my daily rhythm morning and evening walks, playtime, feeding schedules and downtime, so every dog gets consistent attention and companionship Your dogs safety is my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, I stay alert to traffic and other animals, I also know how to handle unexpected situations calmly. I earn trust through consistency, clear communication and treating every dog like my own. Waljs take place in safe, dog friendly areas with clean, well maintained paths, away from hazards.

About: I've had cats since the age of 3, and never stopped having them. Alongside many other pets of all shapes and sizes. I started helping out a friend with her dog sitting jobs and it's continued from there. I've dog sat and walked , cat sat and checked up on friends and clients pets. One off walks and regular walks. From small senior Jack Russell to two bounding golden retrievers. I've had a good few years of experience now to offer more services . I'm currently working part time so I have the time to schedule in walks, house sitting/pet sitting and call ins. I have one ongoing walk with a Jack Russell and would like to take on more pet care work. Depending on what the owner wants , whether it's a routine walk, a pop in or a stay over. I'm happy to do it all. Happy to follow instructions to make sure your babies are happy and calm. My cat is an outdoor cat but understand some prefer theirs to stay in. With dogs I can make sure they are well seen to and will make sure I know how long they don't mind being left alone. Can pop in to fill up water and food bowls or to let any out to use to toilet.
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have experience with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior dogs and large breeds like Golden Retrievers. I currently care for my own senior dog, young puppy and cats, so I understand the different needs pets can have at every stage of life. I’m a calm, gentle and patient person who truly loves animals. I have experience with feeding routines, basic care, slow walks for older dogs, and energetic walks for younger dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I treat every pet with love, kindness and respect, just like family. Animals are such a big part of my life that I even run my own pet blog dedicated to dogs and animal care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during mornings and afternoons, and I always make sure pets receive gentle care, attention and patience 🤍🐾 I always make sure pets feel safe, calm and comfortable in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking preferences and any special needs. I’m gentle, patient and attentive, and I treat every pet with kindness and respect, just like family 🤍🐾

“Lina clearly loves dogs and was so great when looking after two very excitable cockerspaniel puppies! She spent longer than she needed with them and sent so many photos and could see they were I great care with her. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Lina”

About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!
“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”


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.

About: hello! i am based near Bourne and have just moved back from Sheffield where I was living after university. During my time at university, i felt lonely and homesick from all my animals back home so i downloaded Rover for some animal company and met the best furry friends ever! I have decided to keep the app whilst having moved from sheffield as I wish to continue my furry friend journey :) i do drive aswell which is a bonus! i work for BMW but have aspirations to become a primary school teacher one day and as much as I adore working with children, I love spending time with animals too! i work from 8:30am to 5:30pm everyday and have the weekends free which could be spent entertaining and looking after your furry child/children instead of scrolling through tiktok hehe i feel as the best person to trust with your pet would be someone who’s grown up on a mini farm around all sorts of animals. At my parent’s home i have 2 dogs, 5 cats and 4 sassy chickens (mine is called dora the eggsplora). I love walking the dogs at home through the countryside and changing the chicken run aswell as making sure all animals have food and water. these responsibilities never feel like chores!

Josie was the perfect choice for us & our GSP Milo! She was kind and polite from the get go, and put me at ease with everything. Our dog Milo instantly took to Josie, and had a lovely time with her during her visit. She kept me updated and sent photos for reassurance, which set my mind at rest and helped me to enjoy our day! We will definitely use Josie again & No doubt, Milo will be more than pleased to see his new friend that he’s made, especially if she let him win at tug of war 🤣🥰 Thank you Josie from Us both & Milo 🐾

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.
