About: I love animals, and have looked after big and small dogs and cats for many years. I go and feed them, let them out for the toilet and play with them. I currently don’t work, I can look after your pets when you need, if you want me to stay with your pets over nights I would appreciate if you message me to make arrangements I would look after your pets at your homes as animals are more calm in their own territory and know their surroundings. I would follow any rules that is give to me from the owner

Droitwich Spa, WR9

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I have cared for a range of breeds, including Maltipoos, Springer Spaniels, Border Collies, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Labradors, so I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs. I’ve also helped raise two litters of puppies - from early feeding and socialisation through to basic training, so I feel confident caring for puppies, adult dogs and seniors. I love being outdoors and regularly go on long walks, so dogs in my care will receive plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, always tailored to their individual needs and owners preferences. Training and structure are important to me. One of my dogs went on to work with the police, which reflects my experience with consistency, routine and positive reinforcement. I will treat every dog as if they were my own, providing a calm, safe and loving environment. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease while your dog is in my care. I predominantly work from home and have a flexible routine, which allows me to offer doggy day care, walks, and house sitting. I am happy to adapt to each pet’s usual routine, making sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for throughout the day. Your dog's day with me will be filled with plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. Throughout the day, I'II make sure to provide a mix of mental stimulation with toys and games. I'm also happy to work on any training if needed, whether it's reinforcing basic commands or helping with specific behaviours. If your dog is more of a relaxer, we'll enjoy some quieter time, either inside or in the garden. It’s important for me to know if your dog has any specific requirements, behaviours , or needs so I can provide the best care possible. I don't have a preference for breed or size and genuinely love all dogs, so feel free to get in touch🙂

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs my whole life, and they’ve always been such a huge part of my life. Being around dogs genuinely makes me happy, and there’s nothing I love more than spending time with furry bundles of joy! 🐾 I have experience caring for and walking a variety of breeds, from tiny lap dogs to large, energetic dogs. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long adventurous walks, slower sniff-filled strolls, plenty of playtime, or simply lots of fuss and cuddles, I’ll make sure they’re cared for as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I promise to treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Nothing makes me smile more than seeing a happy wagging tail, and I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🩷🐶 I currently work Mon - Thurs/Fri 8-4/5 as a nurse👩🏼‍⚕️. Therefore, I will mostly be available for mornings, evenings & weekends, as well as any annual leave I have. My diary is open for most days, please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to work around the time you need 😊. I am currently living in a flat, with plans to move to a house next week! Until then, I am available for walks and check ins, with plans to open my profile to daycare once I have moved in and settled 🏡 . It is myself and my boyfriend only at home, no other dogs nor children currently😊.

About: *I’m new to Rover, and offering an introductory rate* Hi, I’m Jen — a friendly, reliable dog walker based in Cofton Hackett, often out and about around Cofton Park, Barnt Green, and the Lickey Hills with some of my favourite four-legged pals. I’ve been walking dogs for over 6 years and doing a few pet visits over the last 2 years. I especially enjoy looking after small to medium dogs who like calm, relaxed walks full of sniffs and gentle exploring. I always take time to build a bond with each dog so they feel safe and happy with me. Whether it’s a quiet stroll or a little adventure, your pup will get patient care, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels comfortable, content, and excited to see me again! I work from home most of the time, so can fit walks in in the morning, lunch time and after work. I also have some availability at weekends. When doing drop ins, I let the dog out for a toilet break, fill up water and food and fuss and chat to your dog.

About: I have always loved animals and been around them since I was a little girl. We have all sorts from gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs. When I was 13 I worked on a farm with the ponies and horses and loved being around the animals on the farm. I also did my work experience at school in a Kennels and Cattery and loved it. When I left school I began working in an office and then family life happened, and never continued to my dream job of working with animals. So here I am pursuing a passion of mine of working with animals, after taking over from a cleaner we had whilst I had surgery, I began cat sitting for a couple who needed there cats cared for while I was looking for work. Turned out I used to work with Sam and for last few years I have gone and cared for there two cats Tia and Mitz. I don't currently have any cats but was brought up around them. We have two small dogs and we love them very much. I have completed a Canine First Aid course with Solihull college too so can help out if there are any accidents. Reference available on request from my clients I cat sit for.

Through my veterinary experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, and senior pets requiring extra attention. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness or discomfort, and ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply needs a calm and reassuring presence, I tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. My veterinary training means you can have added peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Im currently working as a locum nurse on a part time basis and I will be working my work schedule around my bookings. I was available most days, including weekends.

About: I’m a recent Zoology graduate and an experienced animal care enthusiast with over 3 years of professional hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, most recently employed at a doggy daycare called “Wagworks” in Fulham for 18 months. From walks to playtime, I provide safe, loving care for your pets, prioritising comfort and genuine happiness. Trained in dog behaviour, health monitoring and enrichment, I am passionate about giving each pet personalised attention they deserve. As a fresh university graduate, I am currently looking to take on this work all days of the week apart from sundays, unless I am sitting within your home. Walking/drop ins would be running from 8:30-4:30 monday-friday and 10-3 on saturdays. Walks will be provided within the area until I finish my driving lessons and acquire a car, and any owner requests with those will be taken into account. Drop ins will include a toilet break, some cuddle/comfort time and providing mental stimulation of some kind through sniffing, licking and/or chewing; all natural calming regulators within canine psychology! Unfortunately cannot provide boarding within my family home but am a mature and trustworthy individual to provide house sitting services. Previously worked as a housekeeper and cleaner within various hospitality positions so I can assure your property will be in top shape!

About: I’ve enjoyed and continue to enjoy looking after animals. I’ve been around animals for over 20 years looking after dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, goats, hamsters etc. My main love is looking after dogs, I enjoy the outdoors and spending as much time as I can walking and exploring the local area in my spare time. I look after a lot of my friends dogs who have mentioned that I should do this professionally.. so here I am! I do hybrid working so I can work my hours to suit my needs and therefore I can work my hours to suit your dogs needs as every dog can be different. What do I have to offer: I’m lucky enough to live in the country side with plenty of local walking trails to take advantage of. I have large private fields, fenced and unfenced to suit your dogs needs along with a local lake within a short walk for those dogs that like to take a little swim! I go running most mornings (slow and steady) and happy to take a more energetic dog with me. I have an old jack russell who gets on well with other dogs, she enjoys her daily walks and then enjoys a good nap. We have a loving family environment and treat our pets, and any pets we care for as part of the family and always like to keep the dogs with us so we always go to dog friendly parks, pubs, cafe etc.

About: Hi, I’m Claire I’m a photographer by trade, but outside of work I’m completely dog obsessed. Friends and family are forever joking that I care more about the dogs than the humans, and honestly… they might be right. I offer dog walking and pet sitting, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s little personality. I’m confident with puppies, older dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with routines that need sticking to properly. If they need medication, specific feeding times, slower walks, training consistency, or just a bit of patience, that’s absolutely fine. I know how hard it is leaving your dog with somebody else, so I’ll always keep you updated properly with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and settled. I’m reliable, calm, and very used to handling animals with different temperaments. Your dog will be treated like one of my own while they’re with me. I work from home as a pet and portrait photographer my studio is in my garden, if I have a shoot it's for 1 hour or a maximum of 3 hours editing a day on my pc so lots of time for attention and walks. I take my dog Cooper for very long and varied walks daily. I have a very secure garden that has a 7ft high perimeter fence, my dog can jump very high and he can't get out. I am very tidy and if caring for pets in your home take security very seriously, I will leave your home as you left it and happily clean any mess left by your pet

We have adopted a little Dachshund called Bella and she is an absolute joy. Bella is now 3yrs old. Our dogs are great role models and Poppy brings a sense of quiet fun. Chester is our dog agility expert and Rosie is a gentle play/fun sweet therapy dog girl who also enjoys agility. Bella has the pack fun and play on her paws. She’s an active pack member with a smile! 😊 All are beautiful natured and have accepted so many friendly doggies into our home. It is a home from home. We are a family of five. Three young adult siblings, a husband and wife team. We have opened our lovely home to our guest doggies for many years now. We are fully Insured, 5 Star licensed, DBS checked, Dog first aid, Grooming Certs, Dog Sitting and Pet care Certs. Dog behaviourist and walking Certs. Behind our large, safely enclosed garden and patio terraced areas we have a nature reserve, a woodland walk to our local Park (dogs are walked on lead only outside of grounds)one on one. Indoors we have a private field walking area and dog agility play area, specialising in dog agility instruction and exercise for every ability or gentle optional play for the senior doggies too. Our dogs are very sociable because of this.. a real gem on our doorstep! Our Farmhouse is cosy and light with tiled floors throughout the downstairs to accommodate dogs that are walked on rainy days, (easy to mop/ clean!) We are mostly at max capacity and busy with many repeat clients. We welcome your pet friendly dogs to come and stay with our family. Relax in confidence that we will treat your family member like we treat our own during their stay with us. We love dogs and as part of their well being it is important that your dog has time to enjoy play and relax time. Usual daily timetable applies...arrival daycares between 7.45am and 10am, flexible on 24hr time if discussed. Usually runs on an 8hr basis. Average 8 to 12km a day exercise paces. Depending on ability, instruction and age of dogs in our care. 8am til 4pm or 9am til 5pm. If the time is over by more then an hour then an additional cost may apply but will be discussed with you prior to your doggies stay. 24hr times run from arrival time and collection time the same. Again an additional fee may apply for delays in collection to enable me to manage daycare and holiday stay numbers. Our max capacity is 14. We try to meet your needs but we are running a business and our numbers are limited by licence requirements and although we really try to help we cannot stretch the arrival and collection times too far out of your said times. Please take this into consideration when booking. Many thanks, Dea and the family.xx Full time pet sitter. Max capacity of 14. Mostly fully booked but open to new invites if circumstances change pace. Always meet and greet for new members to check compatibility and a trial session within a pack Play. I will not compromise the safety of the established group. Please be completely honest about your needs prior to meet and greet. Dogs are crate trained for sleeps. Licensing requires if dogs are unsupervised they are separated. We go to bed the dogs go to bed. This gives peace of mind during rest. Our dogs do the same.

I have a spacious living area in my house and a secure garden for them to roam around in, also i live next to a lovely park which i would regularly take them to!

About: I am very loyal, trustworthy and reliable. I absolutely love dogs and dogs love me! I am experienced in looking after a variety of dogs and will offer you the upmost love, care and attention that your dog needs. I am very adaptable and very good at taking direction, so I will listen to your instructions and your dogs needs and follow them as necessary, just because I am really loving with some dogs, if you don’t want this with your dog, I know everyone is different I totally understand that and will do what’s right for you and your dog so please be re-assured you are in the right place. We can have a trial first if this helps to put your mind at rest. I want you to be able to be at work or on a night out, or even a long holiday and not be worrying in the slightest that your dog isn’t being taken care of properly, I know that feeling when our family dog was put into kennels for 3 weeks for a wedding and from that time I knew this is what I needed to do as some dogs just hate kennels if they have been bought up in a way and that’s when I decided to start taking care of people’s dogs that feel like they can’t go on holiday or go out as there’s no one like them to have them, non sense! I am your lady :-) xxx

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.

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 Bromsgrove 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!

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 dog, 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.

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.
