About: Hi, I’m Rhi! I’m a bubbly 32 year old who absolutely adores animals. My own family consists of one goofy Golden Retriever, two cats who firmly believe they run the house, and a leopard gecko, so I’m no stranger to a variety of personalities! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and honestly wouldn’t want it any other way. While I don’t have any formal animal care qualifications, I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own furry family members, as well as looking after friends’ and family’s pets whenever they’ve needed a helping hand. I’m passionate about giving them all the love, patience, respect and attention they need. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other small pets, whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, or simply keeping them company with a calm and reassuring presence. One of my favourite things about pet sitting is getting to know each animal’s individual character. I understand that some pets are full of energy and love to play, while others are shy and need a little more time and space to feel comfortable. I have a calm and patient nature, so I’m always happy to let your pets set the pace and build trust in their own time. Equally, I’m more than happy to be silly, playful, and energetic for those who love attention, games, and adventures! As the owner of an adolescent Golden Retriever, I know how important consistency is when it comes to training and routines. I’ll always do my best to follow your pet’s usual schedule, rules, and training cues so they have a familiar and stress-free experience while you’re away. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how worrying it can be leaving our furry family when we are away, so understand how important it is to trust someone with your beautiful pets. I’ll always care for your pets with the same kindness, attention, and affection that I give my own. I’m very fortunate that my job allows me to be quite flexible with my hours, so I can be available and travel easily most of the time, as I work remotely. I don’t have many commitments other than my own pets who can be looked after by my partner. This leaves me free to give your furry family member plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I know every pet is different, it’s what I love about them! So I try to care for them in a way that suits them best. If they’re full of energy, I’m happy to keep them entertained with walks, playtime, and enrichment games. If they’re a little nervous or need some space, I’m equally happy to take things slowly and let them come to me in their own time. I’m also happy to stick to any routines you’ve worked hard to put in place (I know how hard this can be) whether that’s crate training, meal times, training cues, or little things that help them feel settled and secure in their environment. One thing you can definitely expect from me is updates! I know how much I miss my own pets when I’m away, so I’ll make sure you’re kept in the loop with messages, photos, and videos. If you’re anything like me, 90% of my camera roll is of my furry family.
“Izzy has been great with our new puppy who absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she walks through the door. She has remembered and taken into account every little detail we have told her about our puppy and kept that in mind whilst looking after him. I know he has such a great time every time she is here.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Tamara. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals. She followed all my dog’s routines, gave them so much attention, and sent regular updates that made me feel completely reassured. I returned to a clean home and very happy dogs. Tamara goes above and beyond, she’s truly exceptional! Will definitely be recommending Tamara to our friends and booking with her again! Thank you Tamara.”


About: Hi, I'm Cassie, I live in Saham Toney and have done for 6 years. I love animals and have 30yrs experience of being a cat owner. I couldn't imagine not having cats in my life. I currently have a 3yr old tabby. She is a bundle of energy, she follows me everywhere and keeps bringing in alive gifts for me to chase around the house to try and rescue! I also cat sit for friends, family and often dog sit for my brother's little westie. I also had hamsters for a number of years growing up.
“When I first met Nell I knew that my dog would be in good hands. Good communication and happy when plans changed due to my disorganised son! Would recommend and will definitely try to use again if she is free.”

“Melody was fantastic! She looked after our 1.5 year old Lab and he certainly seemed like he had a great day! Would not hesitate to recommend Melody for anyone else! Thank you again!!”


“Imogen looked after my cats for the first time recently, and I could not recommend her more highly. I have seven cats, all with very different personalities and needs. Some are extremely high-maintenance, some are incredibly friendly, others are very shy, and three of them have epilepsy and require close monitoring. It can definitely be a bit overwhelming for someone who isn’t used to a busy multi-cat household, but Imogen handled everything amazingly. From the moment she came for a meet-and-greet, it was obvious how naturally good she is with animals. Two of my cats immediately gravitated towards her, which I think says everything, as cats are usually very good judges of character! All of the cats absolutely loved her, and I felt completely reassured knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She was calm, attentive, and clearly very experienced and comfortable around cats with different temperaments and medical needs. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my babies, and I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future. I’m very happy with the service Imogen provided and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”


About: I've been a pet owner my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, particularly large, high-energy breeds that require plenty of exercise and attention. I'm very active and enjoy long walks, outdoor adventures, and keeping dogs engaged and happy. I provide a high standard of care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I have recently moved back from South Korea where I have been an international school teacher for many years. I currently tutor online and am looking for ways to enjoy time in different cities/ have a change in pace of life! I have lots of time to care for pets during my daily schedule. I currently have no pets so want to use my energy and love to care for others. Due to a adventurous pet dog as a child, I am aware of the challenges that can be faced with energetic, big dogs so I will use this experience to keep your pets safe.
“Ellen has sat our dogs a few times now and we are really happy with her level of care and responsiveness. We enjoy the updates and photos and we came back to a clean and well looked after house with two happy dogs. She was very kind to administer eye drops for one of our dogs and even watered our plants in the heat wave which was really appreciated. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for five wonderful years, and he truly opened my heart to all living creatures. We trained him ourselves from a puppy, and he has amazing recall and lovely manners. That experience taught me patience, consistency, and how important trust is with dogs. I regularly look after friends’ dogs of all sizes, small, medium, and large and I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels. I provide daily walks once or twice a day, sometimes including a run for more active dogs, and longer walks at the weekend for extra adventure and stimulation. Your dog would be cared for as if they were my own, with attention, affection, and plenty of exercise. 🐾 As I work from home, dogs in my care are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. I tailor walks to each dog’s needs, offering one or two walks daily depending on their routine and energy levels. There are always plenty of cuddles, attention and gentle supervision.. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a calm, secure and loving environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences and any special requirements so they feel settled and comfortable. I maintain consistent boundaries, supervise interactions, and ensure doors and outdoor spaces are secure at all times. Walks are carried out safely, with close attention to surroundings and other dogs. I only allow off-lead time where recall is reliable and agreed with the owner.🐾
“Thanks to Nick for doing a super job looking after our dog and cats. Had to ask Nick at the last moment to change the timings and he was happy to accommodate. Really happy with everything and would definitely recommend.”

“Zoe came and looked after our Labrador and cat on New Year’s Eve at our house. She was incredible. Was very professional with everything that she did, we had no problems and would 100% use Zoe again. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“David looked after our spaniel and elderly cat for 10 days. He did exactly that! Doug (spaniel) bonded well with David, he was even allowed to sleep with him (as he does us). Our elderly cat Millie is a rather solitary and shy soul however seemed perfectly herself when we returned home. I would recommend David to look after your pets, he even watered the plants for us. Thanks David and we hope you enjoyed your stay with our pets. June & Mark 🐾🐾🐾🐾”

About: With over five years of experience in looking after all kinds of animals as well as growing up in a house full of animals I am now available to look after furry friends whilst back home from university. Whilst my experience is mainly in the realms of dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs I have also looked after rabbits, birds and even a tortoise! I have had plenty of work experience through my degree in veterinary practices allowing me to handle medications as needed and keep an eye on any more senior animals as well, with which I aim to give owners some peace of mind as I completely understand how daunting it can feel when a pet has health issues and to trust someone else to monitor these. I currently work an online job for my university student union, which is part time. This means I have plenty of time to check in on furry friends and keep ontop of their daily schedules! Other than that I would ideally be going to the gym however if one of your furry friends needs 24/7 care it goes without saying that it would always be the priority! I will be able to take your dog out and about to local dog parks or for quieter walks through the lovely Norfolk countryside! With a car and full clean driving licence I would be more than happy to take your pets to safe local areas or walk them from your home. Which ever you would prefer and they would be more comfortable with!

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 Breckland 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 Breckland 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.
