“Antoinette took such wonderful care of my dog Nina. She and her partner are so gentle and kind, and I could tell Nina felt completely at ease. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos while I was away as they gave me such peace of mind. When I picked Nina up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I am so grateful to have found Antoinette and Nina will be staying with her regularly in the future :-) xx”
“Milo had a great time with Ruben and Oggy. Lots of updates, videos and photos which helped us to have a relaxed holiday. Milo seemed to be very happy with his stay with Ruben. Would highly recommend ☺️”
“Exceptional. Niels and Sandy looked after my 14 month old puppy. Helped to train her, carry on her desensitation routine, kept me updated with photos. Two days before we dropped her off, she came into season, Niels and Tanya weren't bothered and carried on looking after Sandy without hesitation. Thanks Niels and Tanya!”
“Rio enjoyed her first stay with Amy and Poppy. Communication was quick and Amy was very flexible and accommodating with timings. Amy sent me updates and photos throughout the week which put my mind at ease. Couldn’t be happier and already planning the next stay ☺️ Thankyou Amy.”
“I collected Molly today after a 2 week stay with Will. She seemed happy and like her normal self. I was pleased to hear she had been on lots of adventures & would like to thank Will for all the photos he provide of her. Thanks”
“Joan and Phil were absolutely wonderful with my dog Indi. She was so well looked after in their lovely home and beautiful garden and came back happy and relaxed. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands - would highly recommend!”
“Camila took wonderful care of Maru, our 2 year old Bichon for an entire month. We were naturally uneasy about leaving her for so long, but she has come home very relaxed and has quickly readjusted. Camila even bathed her, so she has come lovely and clean also.”
“Angelika and her partner were great hosts, made Harry very welcome and sent several photos and videos of his holiday with them. Also made sure the walks were well timed and in accordance with the hot weather. Really delighted and would recommend to anyone.”
“Pati is amazing! She is really a dog lover. She took care of our puppy very well. We also had a meet to see where our puppy will stay. We could communicate very well. I believe our puppy had a great time with Pati and her dog, Gaia. She also provided some very useful information about feeding our puppy. I do re-book her. Thank you!”
“Klaudia was great :) Her and my pooch seemed to get on very well. Everything went to plan, and Klaudia was very accommodating. We've already got another date booked in and I'm sure Lolly will be very happy to see her and visa versa!”
“Carolina was so welcoming and caring to our puppy, Ginger. It was the first time we left her and she had a great time. She came back tired and happy from all the play with Carolina’s dog and son. I couldn’t feel better about the experience. Thank you!”
“Our previous sitter cancelled on us at the last minute and Beatrice stepped in with almost no notice to look after Sasha. She was really easy to deal with and made us feel completely at ease about leaving her. She kept sending photos and you could tell Sasha felt welcome and really enjoyed the walks to the beach. She looked properly happy and relaxed the whole time. Beatrice’s dog also welcomed Sasha home and was so playful and relaxed with her, which made a big difference. We’ll definitely be asking her again. 100% recommended.”
About: Hi everyone! I’m a huge dog lover and I’m keen to provide a safe and loving, home away from home feeling for your four legged friends! I’ve grown up with dogs and until recently, I was living with my sister and her gorgeous labrador so I know that they really are a part of the family. I’m attentive and focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment where pets feel at home. I will always make sure to keep you updated with regular photos, messages, and progress notes so you can see what you’re friends are getting up throughout the day. Feel free to ask any questions! I’m currently working part-time so am off one day in the week plus weekends. I also have plenty of time in the afternoons/evenings to provide walks, exercise, play, cuddles and company. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of grass for your pups to run around and play when we’re not out and about. Whilst we’re at home they’ll be able to wander in and out and get as much fresh air and space as they need.
“Excellent experience with Rakesh and Gillian. Lots of updates on how Bumble was doing and some lovely photos. They were very accommodating when I had to change my dates / times slightly. Both appeared very loving and caring with Bumble. It’s very apparent how much they both love animals especially dogs. I will have now hesitation booking them again xx”
“Thank you Matias for looking after Misty. She obviously was well cared for and had lots of walks. Matias kept us informed all the time, and I think Misty would have gone home with him, if we would have let her!!”
“Piotr has been excellent in all regards with quick communication and updating throughout my dog Benny's stay. He kept me updated with photos and messages over the duration of my holiday. Piotrs house and garden are perfect for dogs and his family have have kept my dog company. Benny has returned very happy and healthy and has clearly had a great time away. I highly recommend Piotr and will be using his service again in the future. Thank you Piotr”
“Clare was amazing. Fairly short notice and opened the door with a warm welcome and big smile. I instantly felt our young dog Rudi was going to have a great time. Regular updates too which put my mind at ease that Clare enjoyed having an extra dog to care for and our Rudi was behaving herself…thank you thank you”

This was our labrador, Riku’s second stay with Angela and we couldn’t be happier. Riku was excited to be there again, and he was extremely well looked after by all the family. We had regular updates with lovely photos which is much appreciated. Big thank you to you all!
Guoda and Vlad gave us a very positive and trustworthy feeling from the moment we met them. We know that Chilli can be a handful, as he's very young and bouncy. However Guoda was very professional, caring and knew how to deal with him. She and Vlad gave us regular updates, great in communication and we felt that Chilli was in good caring hands. We would definitely use them again, as it seemed that Chilli had a great time!
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Pepper was in Lauren's care for 4 days, and she went above and beyond to keep us updated with photos and videos every single day — it was such a relief to see him happy and settled while we were away. What really stood out was how comfortable Pepper felt by the end of the stay. When we came back to pick him up, he was so relaxed and at ease that he genuinely didn't want to leave! That says everything about the love and attention he received. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring sitter for their cat. We'll definitely be booking again!
Benji was very happy staying with Sarah and Simon over a period of a few weeks. They are clearly people who care about dogs, and the information and updates they shared while benji was with them was excellent. We wouldn's hesitate in recommending Sarah and Simon to ther dog owners, and would welcome the chance to Benji to have another vacation with them in the future. Many thanks to Sarah, Simin and the whole family!

Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Bournemouth pet parents with similar pet households.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
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.
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 .
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.
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. 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.
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.
