About: Hello! I am a student nurse with a genuine passion for caring for both people and animals. I have grown up in a home with dogs and cats, giving me years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments- from a little Dachshund to a high energy Labrador retriever. I have one dog and two cats of my own, and they mean the absolute world to me. Because of this, I completely understand how worrying it can be to leave your pets while your away. My aim is to give you complete peace of mind by ensuring your pets are safe, happy and well cared for in the comfort of their own home. I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, companionship and overnight stays in your home if required. I am happy to care for dogs of all breeds, as well as cats, and I will always treat your pets with the same love, kindness and attention that I give to my own. I am also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages whilst your away, so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Before any booking, id be delighted to arrange a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and your pet can become more familiar with me.🐶🐾 I currently work part time shifts as and when required for an agency so I am not tied to set hours and I can be pretty flexible. I take time out in the morning and the evening to walk my own dog and provide enrichment and playtime for him. I like to walk over Cannock chase and chasewater and would love to meet new dogs to be able to bring along with me🐾 I would not currently be looking to offer house sits in my own property due to having cats and I want to ensure they are comfortable. My dog is very friendly with my cats and they are able to get along but I know this is not always the case. When I look after your pet I will take time to play with them, provide walks, fresh water, enrichment activities and of course lots of love and attention 🐾❤️I know every breed is different and they all have different temperaments and require time and patience and understanding ❤️

Megan has been amazing! It was my first time leaving my cat and naturally I was anxious to leave her but Megan really put my mind at ease, she is kind and warm and really has a love for animals.. she sent me regular photos and updates which I’ve really appreciated whilst I’ve been away. My cat isn’t the most social sometimes but she has made good friends with Megan while I’ve been gone and they seem to of become besties 🫶🏼 . I would highly recommend her service and I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Megan ❤️

We booked Hannah to feed our cat and piggies while we were away for 2 nights. Hannah was very friendly and professional throughout and even came to meet us beforehand which helped with making us more comfortable with having a stranger in our home. Whilst we were away, Hannah arrived on time for each visit and sent us photo's throughout her visit for reassurance. Couldn't fault her service. Would definitely use again. Thank you Hannah!

About: ​Hi! I’m Roni. 👋 I am a passionate dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on dog ownership and care experience. I am fully licenced for home dog boarding by Cannock Chase Council, Licence no. DogBoard/52/26, giving you complete peace of mind that your pet is in professional, official-standard care. ​Over the years, I have handled dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—from tiny, clever Dachshunds to high-energy, bouncy Labradors. ​As a dog owner myself, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your furry family member behind. I know exactly what owners need: absolute peace of mind, reliable updates, and a sitter who truly understands canine behavior. I promise to treat your pup with the exact same love, patience, and respect that I give to my own! I'm a full-time dog walker/boarder, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I am available from morning (around 8am) to 5pm for daily drop-ins and dog walking. I'm also available at weekends with flexible hours. For the safety of your pets, all first-time clients MUST complete a Meet & Greet prior to booking. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When walking your dog, I always keep them securely leashed and stay fully alert to ensure a safe walk. With 10+ years of experience and pet first aid training, I monitor your pet's health closely. I also deeply respect your privacy, keeping your home clean and securely locked.

About: My husband and I have adopted 5 dogs in our time together - from senior to puppy - as well as fostered over 10 dogs for three different rehoming charities. We treat every dog like a member of our family, and ensure they leave full of love, confidence and TLC. We are used to introducing new members of the household to our current fluffy residents (a puppy GSD and a senior Greyhound) in a positive, planned manner. We love to send pupdates to the families of our residents, so you'll always know what's going on with your baby. All pets that come to stay will be my full responsibility at all times, while my husband will be around to give extra love and cuddles. I work from home full time, meaning I am always on hand for both young and old visitors who may need more regular access to toileting and attention. We walk our dogs twice a day, one long walk for the puppy and a short walk for our senior dog, and can be more active if required. We spend lots of time playing, cuddling and training our dogs - and rarely can I say no to taking a quick break from work to pay them some attention. We have a fully fenced, extra large garden allowing pets to run freely off lead. We live less than a 5 minute walk from Cannock Chase and multiple local parks, perfect for pets to enjoy. We have two resident dogs, who are both very accustomed to strange dogs coming and going. One of our dogs is crated, and we have a spare XXL crate readily available if crate care is needed or preferred.

About: After two years of dog boarding I have now transitioned exclusively in to dog walking. I provide professional, insured walks for your pooch. Whether you are home or not, I can attend your property and take your pet out to stretch their legs. I have experience with a whole range of breeds and personalities from 3 years of boarding/Kennel experience so I am sure I will be able to cater to your pets needs. I currently have clients in place so we will need to discuss timings of walks to make sure that everyone is happy. This is my full time job so there will never be unexpected cancellations. Walks can be 30 minutes or 60 minutes including a discount in price. Pets are always walked on a lead with the only exception being if we are walking in an enclosed private dog park. I walk all dogs with additional ID tags with my details on so if for any reason your collar or harness broke and your dog escaped, whoever finds them will easily be able to get in touch. I have my own private insurance that is separate to the rover guarantee so you are safe in the knowledge that your pet is covered in case of an accident. I complete all walks with a first aid kit in case of any accidents although this has never been needed. You will also receive walk updates and tracking data from the rover app so you can see exactly where your pooch has been.

Absolutely fantastic dog sitter/walker! Stacey was friendly, professional, patient, and genuinely cared for Luna’s health and wellbeing. Luna is a reactive dog and can take a while to warm up to new people, Stacey’s calm nature really helped Luna feel at ease and they were besties in no time! The communication from Stacey was incredible. I was kept well updated on each visit and the pictures were the cutest! Luna looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for every time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter or walker. I have already booked for Stacey to take care of Luna again!

About: I grew up with a golden retriever and so helped to look after her when I was younger. My sister has a cockapoo who I help to look after regularly, we take her for walks and she comes and stays over for the weekend:)) I currently work full time but within a school setting. This means I am available for pet care evenings, weekends and during the school holidays. I have a fenced back garden at my home which is safe to play in. I also live near a large park with lots of room for walks and running around. My house is next to the canal and Cannock Chase for more adventurous walks.

About: Hello, my name is Alice and I have a strong passion for all things animals. Whether it be as big as horses or livestock or as small as cats and everything in between. I am fully insured and have been around animals my whole life and owned my own animals for 22+ years. I have 2 horses and a cat who are my absolute world, my cat lives with my horses on the farm. But in the past I have also owned 2 dogs. Although I now don’t have a dog of my own, I have looked after and fostered multiple dogs over many years and have also volunteered at veterinary practices too, both small animal and equine. If any of my friends or friends of the family need their dogs looking after, they always come to me. If you’re anything like me, your animals are like your world and any animals I look after would be treated no differently. I have a full driving license and own my own car so location, whether it be down country lanes or not accessible by public transport would be no issue for me to reach. Not only am I a pet sitter on Rover, I also offer services separate to on here for people who prefer to communicate on text/whatsapp or pay via bank transfer/cash. I’m happy to meet you in advance to see if you think I’d be the right fit for you and your animals needs. I work part time during the week and occasional evening or weekend but I work remotely so can work from your house if I’m house sitting as long as there’s good working wifi, so no need for your animals to be left on their own all day. If your dog comes to stay at my house, I have a fully fenced large garden and spacious house, I would treat your animal like I would treat my own, with the upmost care and love. If I look after your animals in your home, it would no different, I am a very tidy individual and your house would be left neat and tidy.

About: My family and I have always had dogs! Family and friends have relied on me to look after their precious pooches numerous times. Our family home isn’t the same since losing our precious boy of 15years! We want to share our home and love of dogs with others. We live in a lovely area with lots of lovely walks and have a secure garden. I understand the anxieties you feel on leaving your precious fur baby but can guarantee your dog will be looked after as if he/she is our own. We will keep up with any routine your dog is used to and keep you updated with pictures and communication to reassure and give you peace of mind to ease any anxieties you may be feeling! We would advise you arrange a meet up at our home to ensure you feel comfortable and confident about leaving your dog in our care and more importantly to get your doggies approval! Looking forward to meeting you and your pawfect pooch for lots of love and cuddles!! I work part time hours over 3 1/2 days a week, 5 minutes away from our home. My husband Jason works from home. Our daughter Ella is a university student who is also at home. We are at home over the weekend. We have a secure garden, lots of lovely walks nearby. We will strive to keep your dog in any routine they are used to! Have previously administered animal medication. If your dog is used to being crated that’s fine, but equally happy to share the sofa and bed if that’s what they’re happy with. We aim to provide a home from home environment for your fur baby!

We are so grateful to have found Lilliana to look after our very judgemental cat, Grace. From the very start, Lilliana showed such kindness and patience, and it was clear that she and Grace developed a beautiful, trusting friendship. Grace can sometimes be a little stressed when away from home (especially when she’s had to stay in a cattery), but with Lilliana, she was completely relaxed and content in her home environment. Grace loved her belly rubs, cuddles, and the extra attention she received, and it gave us such peace of mind to know she was so happy and comfortable. On top of that, we absolutely loved receiving the daily updates and photos from Lilliana. It was so reassuring to see Grace looking happy and relaxed each day, and it made us feel completely confident that she was being cared for with love and attention. We couldn’t recommend Lilliana more highly, her care, warmth, and genuine love for animals really shines through.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Cannock Chase pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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 Cannock Chase 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.

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.
