About: Caring for my cats has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and it has deepened my love and understanding of animals. I have learned to anticipate their needs, provide comfort, and create a safe and happy environment for them. 
This has inspired me to become a pet sitter, where I can extend the same level of care and attention to other pets. I understand that pets are more than just animals—they are family members who deserve to be treated with respect and love. 
As a pet sitter, my goal is to provide a reliable, compassionate service that ensures pets feel secure and happy while their owners are away. I am motivated by the joy of connecting with animals and helping them feel at ease, knowing that they are in good hands.
My own experience with animals can helps me to understand how our pets need and take care them with love and passion.
DBS certificate can be provided if required. As a mom of a kids and 2 cats, my duty is taking care of them and also your pets , I will be staying with them and make them feel safe and happy. I will visit you place to make sure your furry friend are feeded , spend time to stay and play with them make them feel loved.

About: I provide calm, reliable and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I take time to understand each animal’s routine, personality and preferences so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I have approximately 20 years of experience, caring for pets and approximately 5 years of dog walking experience. I’m especially good with building trust with pets who may be anxious or need a bit more patience, and I’m very mindful of maintaining familiar routines such as feeding times, walks, and comfort habits. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on consistency, reassurance, and creating a stress free environment for them while their owner has peace of mind. I work from home with a high level of flexibility to provide pet care. This means I can fit around feeding times, walks, check-ins, and any specific routines your pet is used to. On my working days, I am still able to step away as needed to provide care, and I am also available for mornings, evenings, and overnight stays depending on requirements. On my non-working day and weekends, I have additional flexibility for longer stays or more frequent visits. My aim is always to provide consistent, calm and reliable care that fits naturally around the pet’s routine. I primarily offer pet sitting in the pet owner’s home, as I believe most pets feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure their home is kept clean, secure, and respected at all times. My focus is on reducing stress for the pet by maintaining consistency and providing calm, attentive care while their owner is away.

About: There hasn't been a time in my life without dogs. I currently have 2 rescues from the RSPCA; a Dachshund and a Shih Tzu cross Pomeranian. Growing up we had 3 Dalmatians and a Doberman. I am also an experienced small pet owner from gerbils, hamsters and rats through to guinea pigs and rabbits. I know how much your pets mean to you but also how sometimes you go places that aren't best suited for them and just need a helping hand to watch over them. I will always ensure the best care for them and some may say spoil them a bit too much! I work an office job 9-5 so I am available mornings, evenings and weekends. I can do short visits on lunch times if located within nearby proximity. I have grown up with dogs and small pets my whole life so I am well versed in animal care and what they need. I have had dogs of varying temperaments. Most of my dogs have been rescues so all come with their own quirks and needs. I understand how some pets require a little extra t.l.c and some need their own space.

Kiara was incredible. It was our first time using the app, so were nervous to begin with, however, Kiara reassured us from the start. She came for a meet and greet and was very friendly and our cats adored her from the outset. Her communication was great, she sent photos and our cats clearly loved her! Couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Macey was the kindest, most thoughtful and professional catsitter. She sent us regular updates and pictures to keep us from worrying whilst on holiday. We came back home to a very relaxed kitty who clearly had been shown a lot of love and care in our absence. I’m hoping Macey can become my long-term catsitter for these reasons!

About: Hi! After using Rover for my own dog care in the past I know how important it is to find the right home for your dog. I've had my own dogs for the last 10 years including a puppy and an older rescue. I honestly love dogs of all shapes and sizes and I will ensure I give your dog the perfect home away from home. I have experience with a variety of breeds and have also volunteered and received dogs trust training a couple years ago. I understand dogs are all different and I'm happy to support and match their routines to make them comfortable in my home. I also live in a perfect village area for dogs with plenty of public and private walks and dog friendly cafes! I have plenty of time for walks, toilet breaks and cuddles! I can fit my routine around the routine of the dog in my care, just reach out and let me know what's required. I have a fenced garden with bifold doors that can be left open for easy access to potter outside. I have experience with administering dogs with medication including oral, topical and injections. I also understand and recognise the importance of dog body language -when they are happy, distressed or anxious. Your dogs safety and happiness will always be my main priority.

About: Hello, I'm Ashley! I'm a huge dog lover and proud auntie to a gorgeous Cavapoo, so I know just how much our four-legged family members mean to us. Having used boarding services ourselves, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust and who will keep you updated while you're away. After 15 years as a teacher, I recently started my own business working from home. As a DBS-checked professional, I'm organised, reliable and used to caring for others. I bring that same level of responsibility and attention to every dog I look after. Working from home also means I have the flexibility to provide plenty of company, care and attention throughout the day. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting and boarding. Whether your dog is happiest staying in the comfort of their own home or enjoying a home-from-home stay with me, I'll always take the time to understand their routine, personality and individual needs. I live in a detached house with a secure enclosed garden in a lovely village, surrounded by parks and open fields; perfect for enriching walks and adventures. I'm an active person who enjoys running, football and spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers energetic walks or a slower pace, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention that's right for them. I know every dog is different, which is why I'm always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know one another, make sure we're the right fit and ensure your dog will feel comfortable and settled in my care. I'll always treat your dog with kindness, patience and respect and you will receive regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they're happy, safe and well looked after. As I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to plan my day around walks, visits and quality time with the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive plenty of attention and aren't left alone for long periods. I love spending time outdoors, whether that's exploring local parks and countryside or simply enjoying a stroll around the village, so walks are something I genuinely look forward to every day. I can also be flexible to accommodate your dog's usual routine wherever possible. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to get to know their personality, routine and any specific needs before caring for them. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding times, walking preferences, medication, favourite toys or bedtime routines, to help your dog feel as settled and comfortable as possible. In my own home, dogs will have access to a secure enclosed garden and plenty of companionship throughout the day, as I work from home. My home is clean, calm and located in a lovely village with easy access to parks and countryside walks. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll keep everything clean and tidy, stick to your dog's normal routine as closely as possible, and make sure your pet receives lots of care, attention and regular exercise. Before any booking, I'm always happy to arrange a meet and greet. It's a great way for us to get to know each other, answer any questions and make sure we're all comfortable that it's the right fit for both you and your dog.

About: I’ve had dogs & cats all my life and have been pet sitting for 5+ years. I also have a qualification in dog behaviour and pet first aid, so I’m confident looking after pets with all sorts of personalities and needs. I’m particularly comfortable with anxious or reactive dogs and understand that some dogs need a bit more time and space than others. I’m happy to work around their routine and whatever makes them feel comfortable. I’m also very much a cat person. Sassy and independent? Love them. Friendly and cuddly? Even better. I’m quite happy to let them decide whether I’m worthy of their attention. I have my own Saluki/Greyhound, Genie, who has just made it through the puppy stage, so I’m well acquainted with the chaos that comes with that! I’m happy to send as many updates as you’d like while you’re away, just let me know what you prefer. I can offer day boarding at my home, but not overnight boarding. As Genie lives here, your pet must be comfortable being around other dogs and would have to be a good match. 🐾 My schedule - Day boarding at my home: 8am–5pm (exl Fri) - Pet sitting in your home: Happy to stay during the day/ evenings, but I don’t offer overnight stays. - Fridays: Available after 4pm - Evenings & weekends: Generally available. If not it will be blocked out on my calendar. 🐕 Dogs: I’m happy to adapt to each dog and their personality. Got a hyper dog with loads of energy? Let’s get that energy out with walks, play and plenty of enrichment! For more anxious or easily overwhelmed dogs, I’m happy to take things slowly. We can keep things calm, give them plenty of space and take the time to get to know each other at their own pace. 🐈‍⬛ Cats: Cats have their own ways of doing things, so I’m happy to work around their personality and routine. Whether they want lots of fuss and play or would rather do their own thing, I’ll give them the space they need while making sure they’re fed, comfortable and happy.

About: I have owned and cared for my own dog for the past 10 years and have been around dogs for most of my life. Family, friends and neighbours have regularly trusted me to help care for their dogs, including feeding, exercising and taking them on walks. I am confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, happy and well exercised and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am reliable, patient and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I will ensure they receive the care, attention and exercise they need. I have a flexible schedule and can offer dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons and weekends. As a dog owner for the past 10 years, daily walks were a regular part of my routine. I enjoy being outdoors and understand how important exercise and stimulation are for a dog’s wellbeing. I will always do my best to accommodate your preferred walking times and your dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. Having owned and cared for dogs for many years, I understand the importance of patience, consistency and paying attention to each dog’s personality and needs. I will ensure dogs are kept secure on walks, avoid situations that may cause stress, and follow any instructions provided by owners. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will provide regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.

About: From a young age I have always been fond of all animals and as a family we took on the role as puppy walkers for Guide Dogs. One puppy we adopted unfortunately developed arthritis so could no longer carry on the training but this allowed us to keep him and we had a fantastic 13 years together. He made my childhood and although in adulthood I haven't taken a dog on myself, I am a serial dog auntie to many and offered dog walks and pet sitting to friends/family/colleagues/neighbours etc before I started extending this to services on Rover. I am a really keen walker and know some great dog friendly routes but also always keen for the excuse to find new ones. I do work but have flexibility in my schedule and can work from home too which means I am on hand to be with pets in the day. I do not have the commitments of kids or other pets myself so again can offer that flexible care in the week to meet the needs of different people and their pets. I offer hands on care to ensure the safety and comfort and any pet I am responsible for. I want owners to feel assured their beloved animals are in safe hands. I am flexible to follow the wishes of owners to meet the individual needs of their pets, (however quirky they may be).

About: Hi, we’re Annabelle & Chris! and we have had dogs around us ever since we were both little or born so we have always been around dogs, we absolutely LOVE them. We would even say they are better than people!! We’re used to all different breeds and sizes of dogs and no dog is ever too much to handle. We like to think we get a good sense of what a dog is like just from spending a short amount of time with them. We have also owned cats previously so we are super happy to offer a comforting friendly face for your furry friend. Rest assured, your dog is with genuine dog lovers. We can't wait to meet them! Me and Chris have decided to do this together, meaning we can offer extra support for your furry friends! Annabelle - I currently work full time from home so can offer your furry friend company all day long. I have 2 dogs of my own so I am used to the routine of getting up at 5:30am to give them a good walk, breakfast and playtime before starting work (from home) I then finish work and take them for another long walk in the evening followed by dinner and playtime in the garden or living room ( weather dependant) so they’re tired out before bedtime. Chris - has his own business so is also very flexible on when and where he can work. So there will always be someone available for your furry friend! If you’re like us, do you hate the thought of your pet being left alone for hours on end while you go out to work? Do you pay ridiculous costs just for someone to drop in and walk your dog for a short while? We are here to help! We are offering daycare, boarding, pet walking, all you’re pets needs! Our biggest objective is that your pet feels safe and always has company. I have a fully fenced and gated garden at our home address, so there will be no escapees. However before taking on any boarders we would be looking to offer dog walking, day care services, to get to know each pup personally and to make sure you and your beloved pup are comfortable and all needs are catered for. We personally like to know our dogs feel at ease when staying with someone and that we’re not leaving them with a stranger, this is the relationship we’d love to build with you and your furry friend!

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
