About: I've been around all creatures great and small for longer than I can remember, and have loved animals than I can remember still. My experience as a pet owner is with smaller mammals - I am the proud parent of two rats - while other pets I have experienced through relatives and family friends. I spent long summer days as a teenager cat-sitting for my grandma - I don't think Tuppence (the cat) ever quite warmed up to me, but she enjoyed using me as a place to sunbathe and very much liked when I would attempt to bribe her affection with treats. I have been around dogs my entire life and, more recently, have enjoyed work as a dog walker for a family friend and their animal-care business. This is where I have gained my professional experience in animal care, having completed a Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Diploma as part of this placement. Overall, I have experience with every variety of pet, including rescues and especially seniors. I'm currently formally unemployed, doing some casual work as a dog walker. Most of my time is spent with my gorgeous pair of rats (Baba Yaga and Kugrash), who are endlessly amusing and endlessly keeping me busy cleaning the out and creating new and incentive ways to engage them. As it stands, I have plenty of free time to spend caring for other people's pets - because every animal deserves the same love and companionship as my Mischief! I would be offering my services to care for your pet in your own home, so I would want to understand your typical routine and dynamic. In my Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma, I learnt best practices for maintaining safety and trust for all involved, including rudimentary pet first aid (which I intend to learn more about).
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Elena! She treated Becks so kindly, was very attentive, and sent us lots of updates about what he’d been up to during the day 😊 wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! 💜”
“Katie is absolutely amazing. Oscar loved spending the day and night with her, she gave him lots of love and attention and we can’t wait to book in with her again❤️highly recommend xxx”
“Hannah sat for us for about 10 days and she was very sweet and kind to our dog. She is trustworthy, looked after the house for us and took good care of Cosmo. She kept in touch often and sent us pictures. Our dog absolutely loved her. Would recommend her for future bookings.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all around and absolutely love them, the past year I have worked for a dog walking company. But would like more freedom and have decided to go out on my own. I’m currently doing a canine behaviours course, to give me a better understanding of why a dog could be reactive in a certain way and different ways to help them if I’m the right fit for the dog. I’m currently in the process of making my own dog walking company, I absolutely love going out on walks and being outside. And when you can combine that with a love of dogs, it makes the perfect job. I’m doing little jobs here and there so I can spend most of my time building something for myself, while doing my behaviour course. While doing a sit depending on what you would be wanting in the day, I will be with your pet from 6:30 till 8am the next morning. This way your pup will have plenty of company and can keep their evening routine. Depending on what your pups need I can also hire a secure field, so they can still get a good run around.
“Winnie has never been left overnight before so we were understandably a little anxious. We neednt have been as Gabby was patient and kind to her and within 24hrs she has settled in and was playing and enjoying her walks. Gabby sent at least a daily update with photos and we were confident at all times she was being well looked after . Many thanks Gabby ?”
About: I’m a qualified veterinary nurse who wants to ensure your fur babies are comfortable, fed and loved and cuddled whilst their parents are away! As a full-time veterinary nurse, I work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am–7pm, with one in seven weekends. This means I’m available for evening visits on weekdays, and I have regular availability for weekends, Tuesdays and most weekends for longer stays. I’ll always keep my calendar up to date so you know exactly when I’m available. Your pet’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always come first. As a qualified veterinary nurse, I’m experienced in recognising signs that a pet may be unwell and I’m confident caring for pets with different personalities, ages and medical needs. I always respect each pet’s boundaries, never force interaction, and take time to build their trust. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed, secure and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals and have cared for cats and dogs for family and friends over the years. More recently, I’ve been house sitting and realised how much I enjoy looking after pets and keeping them happy while their owners are away. I’m a patient and caring sitter who takes the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’ll always make sure everything is clear by asking questions, and I love sending daily updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether it’s house sitting, walks or drop-in visits, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily routine. I set aside dedicated time for walks, play, feeding and attention, so I can give pets consistent care and companionship. During house sitting or drop-in visits, I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and can easily adjust to special needs or schedules. I also make it a habit to send updates and photos to owners daily, keeping them connected while they’re away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I follow any instructions carefully, making sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and playtime according to their usual schedule. I’m patient and observant, so I notice any changes in behaviour or needs, and I make sure to communicate with owners through daily updates and photos. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. My partner, Harry, joins me during house sits, we're more than happy to do a video call or meet up before hand so you can feel safe and comfortable with us both!
“Sophie and Zac took excellent care of our dogs whilst we were away on holiday. The dogs were happy and relaxed in their company. Zac and Sophie looked after our home well and left everything immaculate. I would highly recommend Zac and Sophie.”
“Niamh was a fantastic sitter for our boxer and pug! We contacted her kind of last minute, she was quick to respond and arrange a meet and greet,asked lots of questions to know more about their routine etc and kept us very well updated throughout her stay. She took both dogs on long walks and looked after them wonderfully. She was also a very courteous house guest. I would 100% rebook with Niamh.”
About: I have a 6 year old dog and have regularly cared for family and friends dogs for both short and long periods of time when the family has been on holiday or at work I work full time however work from home on Wednesdays so I can provide care on Wednesdays if you are happy for me to work from your home. I am often available on weekends and evenings I do not care for dogs in my own home as I still live with my parents and there is often multiple people coming and going from the property. I also have my own dog at home
“Courtnay was an excellent dog sitter and the babies took to her after a very short time. She was very on time and I felt very relaxed leaving my babies with her. Highly recommended 😄”
About: My husband and I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs. We previously adopted and cared for an elderly rescue dog, and we currently have our own 18-month-old dog, so day-to-day care, routines, exercise and attention are all a big part of our lives. Alongside our own dogs, we have also looked after dogs belonging to family and friends, so we are comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, temperaments and routines. We understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog will be safe, well cared for and treated like part of the family. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine because we already have our own 18-month-old dog, so walks, feeding, playtime and general care are already part of everyday life. We both work from home, so between us there is always someone here to provide supervision, companionship and regular care throughout the day. My husband and I both enjoy being around dogs and are used to planning our day around their needs, whether that’s regular toilet breaks, exercise, companionship or sticking to a dog’s usual routine to help them feel settled and comfortable. We provide a safe, calm and caring environment and always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible. At home, we have a secure rear garden for supervised toilet breaks and outdoor time, and pets would have plenty of attention, company and a comfortable space to settle. We are mindful of feeding routines, exercise needs and any instructions provided by the owner, including medication, lead walking preferences or anything else important to their dog’s care. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, we would always respect their routine and home environment, making sure their dog feels comfortable and secure in familiar surroundings. We understand how important trust is, so we would keep owners updated and treat every pet with the same care and attention we give our own.
About: I have experience of walking and boarding different small dogs and I have a real love for dogs so I will make sure they are happy and cared for when they are with me. I am a primary school teacher who works part-time in the week, so I have availability to look after dogs from Friday evening and all weekend in school time, however I am available all week and weekends during most school holidays. I have walked and boarded a few dogs and I absolutely love being around dogs and playing with them! I will keep to the routines and schedules that the owner has for their dog and try to mimic this when they are with me. I have a small garden that is fenced and secure where they can run around and have lots of places to walk with dogs near to me that have big open spaces to run around and play.
About: I have had a beagle since I was 5 years old, so I have a lot of experience in looking after dogs, and also a grasp on how to care for a variety of ages. I am responsible, patient and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs - they are my favourite animal! Pet care can easily fit into my routine. I will be based in Bromsgrove from the beginning of June until the end of August so will be available most days to look after your dog! When caring for pets in an owner's home I will follow your routine as closely as possible, making sure your pet is fed on schedule and always receives enough attention. I will keep the house tidy and make sure your pet always has enough fresh water!
“This would be the first time we had left Archie and Mildred for more than a few days, so we were feeling a little apprehensive. However, when we met Ben, we were very much reassured. Ben is an excellent and trusted pet/house sitter, he is professional and communicates well, with regular updates and photos. We arrived home to happy animals, a spotless house and would not hesitate in recommending Ben.”
“Coco had a great time with Laura! Laura was great at keeping me updated, and was really understanding and accommodating when our travel plans changed slightly last minute. We’d definitely recommend her and will be sure to book with Laura again 😊”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bromsgrove is £35
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Bromsgrove
Amazing service from Gabby. She looked after my cat and dog with care and attention they needed. My dog is super nervous around new people and I was a little anxious to leave Aira with someone she didn’t know. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from Gabby that she was actually a brave girl, came up to her, took the treats, had a bit of fuss, zoomies, ate her meals (which she doesn’t do if she’s stressed) and overall felt quite comfortable around Gabby. So it seems that Gabby really knows how to deal with sensitive dogs like Aira which was very reassuring. My cat seemed pretty unbothered but he was left a few times before, he just lives in his little world where he is the king and others come to serve him… Communication was good and efficient, I would definitely recommend her and use her services again!

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 Bromsgrove 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 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!
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.
