“Kerry was fantastic looking after our British short hair! Great communication, everything felt easy; she’s definitely going to be our go-to when we’re away now. I couldn’t recommend her any more highly.”
About: I've been looking after dogs for a few years now. I'm attentive to their needs and make sure they're happy, healthy and comfortable with treats and toys on hand. I have experience with nervous dogs who are nervous around people and other dogs so understand what their limits are and when to keep them calm. Dogs are great company and they always have a good time when they come to stay. 😊 I work from home 3 days a week. Also happy to look after dogs at weekends. I'm flexible on times for dogs to come to my home and walks I have plenty of outside space including 2 parks near by for walks and potty. Also a comfy home for them to play and relax. For overnight stays I recommend an intro meeting before hand to make sure the dog feels happy and comfortable with me in my home.
“Charlie and Gary stepped in at short notice to do a drop in visit for my two dogs which I really appreciated. They fed them and let them out meaning I didn’t have to worry about rushing home to be there. I would definitely reckoned them to look after your animals.”
About: I grew up with a gorgeous border collie whom I trained to a high level as the breed requires lots of mental stimulation and physical activity. In my previous role I would also dog sit a variety of breeds and loved every second! I currently work hybrid with my partner Sam so one of us is always at home during the week. We enjoy going on walks around the local forests and Essex countryside. I have a spacious garden in a gated community plus lots of local green areas where furry friends can enjoy long walks and nature. There are many dogs in the neighbourhood for them to socialise! There is a lift in my apartment building for older dogs who may be less mobile, it also leads directly to the garden. My apartment is one floor so the pooch would not have to climb stairs or be separated at night, meaning they would have constant company. I have comfy beds, blankets, treats and toys, and welcome their favourites into the home.
“Raluca has been great over the past few weeks she has been dropping in on my 2 pugs whilst I am at work! She has really helped me feel at ease leaving them for longer periods of time for the first time and has been so accommodating with their needs and with any changes we have had. Raluca is super reliable and my 2 girls love when she drops in, would highly recommend!”
About: I am a friendly kind person who will make sure your fur babies are looked after as if they were my own, I regularly look after my boss’ dogs on a monthly basis and check in on my neighbours and family’s dogs and cats. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and absolutely adore taking care of them and I hope to be lucky enough to meet your own fur babies one day! I am currently working part time so I have lots of room for availability to give your pets the love and attention they need I am free most days times as I o ly work a few hours in the evening and I am happy to help on weekends too! I take my dogs on daily walks time depending on the weather of course (Absolutely no walks in hot weather) and lots of play time! I will follow feed instructions to perfection as I no how important this can be and my very own pets have specific nutritional requirements.
“Jay was beyond amazing with our old man Loki. He was kind, gentle and patient with our little man and we couldn’t be more happy with the service he provided! Loki was sleepy and happy when we got home, which means he’s had a great walk. We were sent pictures, and updates. Jay was on time, very polite and sweet and clearly has a real passion for working with dogs! We will be booking in regularly with jay, as Loki seems to love him to bits! Thank you for looking after our boy with such care and love.”
About: My name is Clarke and I work in professional services but am flexible with WFH and just love having dogs over. It breaks my routine and allows me to enjoy some fun time with animals. i have hosted several dogs over the years and look after friends and families dogs when away too. Ideally i like to only have one dog at a time but if there comes a time i have to try having two at one time, i sure would. You’ll get pics and messages from me while your baby stays with me, sometimes your baby may even message you. 🤭 I adapt very well to dogs with different personalities and quickly build trust. Flexible working from home arrangements on the week and weekends. Really just have to talk to confirm but often free and available most of the I have fenced garden area, front locked fenced area. In the day, Little park in 5 min walk from the house so easy to get to and the little ones love it there.
“I have had Kate dog sit Ella over the last few weeks and she has been brilliant with Ella. I am always entertained with Ella’s daily report card in regards to what she got up to, leaving me with lots of reassurance that she is in the best hands whilst I’m at work. I would highly recommend Kate!”
“Amazing experience with Jenny from start to finish. She is the best sitter we have experienced with. Very detailed and caring of our kitty. Can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Stevie, the face behind my new dog walking and pet drop-in service here in Brentwood. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and over the past five years I’ve been lucky enough to turn that passion into hands-on experience. I previously worked with Kirsty’s Animal Magic, where I was involved in dog boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits. During that time, I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, building strong bonds with both pets and their owners. Now, I’m excited to branch out on my own and bring that same level of care, reliability, and love to pets in the Brentwood area. I truly understand that every animal is unique, and I take the time to get to know their individual needs, routines, and personalities so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energetic walk or a calm and reassuring drop-in visit, your pet will always be treated as if they were my own. I’m also pet first aid trained, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in safe and capable hands. For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely love doing every single day. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m able to offer consistent and reliable availability for you and your pets. I provide dog walking Monday to Friday, typically between 11am and 3pm—perfect for midday walks while you’re at work or busy during the day. I’m also available for both dog and cat drop-in visits up to three times a day, Monday through Sunday. Whether your pet needs feeding, company, playtime, or a quick check-in, I can be flexible to suit your routine. Because this is what I do full-time, I’m able to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, while also being dependable and easy to book around your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When out on dog walks, I take a calm and attentive approach, making sure each walk is suited to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. I keep dogs on the lead unless told otherwise and only in safe, appropriate areas. I’m always aware of our surroundings—avoiding busy roads, being mindful around other dogs, and making sure your dog stays safe and comfortable at all times. I also carry water when needed and keep a close eye on signs of tiredness or stress so your dog can enjoy their walk safely. For drop-in visits, I respect that your home is your pet’s safe space. With both dogs and cats, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel relaxed and secure. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up where needed, and spending quality time playing or giving affection—depending on what your pet enjoys. I’m especially mindful with cats, understanding that some prefer gentle interaction while others may need a bit more space and patience. I am pet first aid trained, so you can feel confident that your pet is in safe and capable hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own, always aiming to create a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment while you’re away.
About: Although I’m just starting out professional pet care, I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I’m used to looking after them on my own. My dogs vary in age with the oldest being 14, so I have experiencing with senior dogs who may need a bit more support. I’m happy to discuss sending pictures and updates whilst you’re away so you can keep in contact with your dog!! I’m currently home from university for the summer so I am available most days of the week to take care of your dog!! I do have holidays pre-booked so I cannot do certain times in the summer but other than that im flexible. I will make sure your dogs sticks to their routine to create a comfortable and stress free environment for your pup. When house sitting I will keep your house extremely clean and respect your property. I’m very happy to do pre-visits with you and your dog to make sure I’m the right fit for your needs!
“Jade was wonderful with our 2 cats. She popped in to feed and play with them twice a day and we got great photos and a little update each time which put us at ease for our first time having a sitter - plus I actually think Jade took better photos of them than I do myself 😅 would highly recommend!”
“Kendall looked after Hugo beautifully today. She took him for a walk then did a drop in visit as we were out all day. She did everything I asked her to do and kept me in the loop. Kendall was caring and attentive and Hugo was very happy to see her. Was very reassuring knowing he was in such good hands 😄😄”
About: I have a cat and two dogs of my own, which I have taken care of since they were puppies. I have both dog sat and cat sat for multiple friends and family (including over long periods of time). I am currently a second year biology student with a particular interest in animal behaviour. On my days off from university I enjoy looking after and forming connections with your pets and i feel very passionate about what i do. I will make sure your pets are safe, happy and fed. I will keep a constant eye on them and look after them to the best of my ability.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 10, from friends and families pets, to looking after my own for the last 10 years. I have a hybrid work schedule with flexible working hours so I’m frequently available to look after your furry friends during the week and on weekends :) I have a fenced back garden which offers a very safe space for your pawfect friends to run around if they want to, my house is open plan but cosy enough for them to feel safe and secure! We are a house where dogs are part of the family so the default will be that they can join us for a cuddle on the sofa & on the beds unless the tail waggers owners tell us any different!
About: NEW PET OWNERS GET £15 CREDIT WITH MY ROVER CODE: https://www.rover.com/sit/chenet99079 I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes throughout my life and have always been trusted by family and friends to care for their beloved pooches. I’ve also been offering dog care through Rover for the past couple of years, looking after a wide range of breeds, temperaments and personalities — just take a look through my gallery for some of the lovely dogs I’ve had the pleasure of caring for! My partner and I have our own dog, Luna, a 2-year-old Hungarian Vizsla. If you know the breed, you’ll know just how energetic, intelligent and demanding they can be! Having a dog ourselves, we completely understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is in safe, caring and trustworthy hands while you’re away. We also have plenty of training knowledge thanks to an extensive handover from Platinum K9 in Nottingham, who helped us kick-start Luna’s training when she was a puppy. This means we’re confident in reinforcing positive behaviours and maintaining good routines while your dog is in our care. That said, we’re completely flexible and will always tailor our approach to your dog. If you simply want them to have a loving, relaxed home-from-home experience, we’re more than happy for them to make themselves comfortable on the sofa or even the bed! We have plenty of toys, dog beds and even a crate available if your dog prefers having their own quiet space. Luna is incredibly loving and playful and enjoys her daily adventures and runarounds in the forest. Once we’re back home, the environment is calm, relaxed and cosy — perfect for winding down after a busy day. All you need to bring is your dog’s usual food and any favourite treats, and we’ll take care of the rest. We also make sure owners are kept in the loop throughout the day, with plenty of photos and updates so you can see exactly what your pup is getting up to. Take a look through my gallery for an idea of the photos and updates you can expect! If you have any questions or would like to chat about your dog’s needs, just drop me a message. I’d love to hear from you! 🐾 Very flexible to discuss the care needed. There will always be constant supervision and your dog will not be left alone. We will also keep you up to date throughout the stay Each dog is unique and therefore what we do and how we do it will vary. We thoroughly enjoy a long walk in the forest (on or off lead depending on your comfort levels and your dogs recall) or a stroll around big fields for the dogs to play around. Your dog will be walked as little or as much as you suggest to be suitable for them. We always carry treats and water with us to ensure they are happy on their walk. Our Vizsla will offer plenty of play time and I will offer suitable training in addition to this if preferred. Equally, we love our downtime, so it goes without saying that there will be plenty of cuddles and a relaxed environment in the home. I am happy to follow any specific routines and commands you use with your dog to ensure they are still following as much of their usual routine as possible. I will also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never feel too far away from your pooch!
“Yasmina took brilliant care of our miniature yorkie puppy. She sent detailed and reassuring information to us after each visit. We cannot thank her enough for looking after our baby boy so well. We will definitely use Yasmina’s services again in the near future.?”

Highly recommend Stevie, accepted my very last minute booking and came to meet us shortly after for the key handover. She went above and beyond for us even taking out the bins we’d forgot to do before leaving (🤦♀️) which she didn’t have to offer but she did. She kept me updated every visit and we’ve come back to a happy fed cat 🤍 we were a bit worried about using a stranger at first but Stevie has done so well that we would 100% use her again when we need to. Thanks so much xxx
Great to have Jo come and look after my furry friends again, as expected she did an amazing job and went over and above to make sure they were treated like the special felines they are! Would recommend Jo as a catsitter to anyone - she’s been a godsend and well definitely have her come and look after them again!
We had such a great experience with Georgina looking after our animals, even our three month old puppy! She kept in regular contact and gave us plenty of updates, which really put my mind at ease. I’m always a little nervous leaving such a young puppy as they can definitely be a handful, but nothing seemed too much for Georgina and I felt really reassured knowing they were in good hands. We even had an unexpected issue with one of our frog tank water sprayers while we were away, and Georgina was more than happy to help sort it out for us, which we really appreciated! Reliable, caring and clearly comfortable looking after a house full of different animals. We would absolutely recommend Georgina and wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after our little zoo again! ❤️
Vicky did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 cats. All of them have very different characters and needs, some are very shy to strangers and yet somehow they all loved Vicky from the first visit. They came to socialise with her every time she came to feed them. I’ve received photos during every visit which put me at ease while away. I came back to very happy and relaxed cats. I would definitely recommend Vicky as she takes care of your cats with love as they would be her own!
Shay has been absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! She sent me daily messages, videos & pictures and made me feel completely at ease knowing my 3 boys were being taken care of and treated with love and affection, Shay is a very kind and caring person and I could see all my boys really liked her! 🥰 Very professional, I will definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much Shay. Xx
Naomi was wonderful. It was the first time we have left our jumpy rescue cat since we have had her. Naomi’s calmness, patience and perseverance with her meant Mia was relaxed enough to play and have some cuddles. The updates and pictures meant we could relax whilst on holiday happy that Mia was being truly looked after.
I needed to be in London all day, Charlotte was wonderful with my two Yorkies & gave them all the love & care they needed while I was out. Fully trustworthy & reassuring to know everything was taken care of & my dogs were happy 🐶🐶 Would definitely recommend Charlotte & her services.
I’m so happy that we found Kate! She’s super reliable and has been really flexible with our drop ins, and really lovely and playful with our pup. She always sends us lovely detailed updates from their walks which gives us such peace of mind. Absolutely recommend!
Jay was beyond amazing with our old man Loki. He was kind, gentle and patient with our little man and we couldn’t be more happy with the service he provided! Loki was sleepy and happy when we got home, which means he’s had a great walk. We were sent pictures, and updates. Jay was on time, very polite and sweet and clearly has a real passion for working with dogs! We will be booking in regularly with jay, as Loki seems to love him to bits! Thank you for looking after our boy with such care and love.
Jenny cared for my cat very well. I asked her to do some little extras like leave empty food pouches in outside bin which she did. I came home to a well looked after animal. Loved the daily updates which was a comfort to me whilst away from home. Would recommend this service to anyone.
Raluca has been great over the past few weeks she has been dropping in on my 2 pugs whilst I am at work! She has really helped me feel at ease leaving them for longer periods of time for the first time and has been so accommodating with their needs and with any changes we have had. Raluca is super reliable and my 2 girls love when she drops in, would highly recommend!
Kendall looked after Hugo beautifully today. She took him for a walk then did a drop in visit as we were out all day. She did everything I asked her to do and kept me in the loop. Kendall was caring and attentive and Hugo was very happy to see her. Was very reassuring knowing he was in such good hands 😄😄
I was very pleased with Rachel, so helpful and she got on great with our 2 very lively dogs. I was able to enjoy a long day out knowing that the dogs had someone coming in to let them out and give them some fun and a cuddle, I could see from the photos they had a great time. I would definitely book Rachel again, thank you.
Jane is incredible and I would highly recommend! This was the first time leaving our cat with a sitter and Jane made us very feel comfortable. She bonded with our cat quickly through lots of fuss and attention with regular updates throughout. I will definitely be using Jane again in the future.

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.
