“Zhan & Lauren looked after Quinn wonderfully! They are responsive and we’re really happy to have a meet -up beforehand - it was Quinn’s first sleepover away from home, so we were a bit anxious, and Zhan & Lauren were very reassuring and put us at ease. We were kept updated with lovely photos & a video throughout Quinn’s stay, and Quinn clearly had a lovely time! He mastered the stairs he’d been a bit scared of, and got loads of lovely walks and tummy rubs! I can’t recommend Zhan & Lauren highly enough, and Quinn will definitely be back!”
“What an amazing sitter! Beata was so kind, friendly and accommodating to me and Fidget! A lovely home with a wonderful big garden. She has a wealth of experience with dogs and Fidget clearly had an amazing time! Thank you so much!”
“Katie has been amazing from the get go! With clear and easy communication pre booking, meet and greets and continued communication and contact throughout Charlie’s stay with her! Katie made me feel at ease and her and her partner have been great with Charlie. She settled in so quick with them and their little dog Peach. Charlie’s had such a great time she’s all played out and is napping 💤 Thank you so much. Will 100% be booking with you again. X”
“Hannah looked after our spaniel, Pippa, for the weekend and was absolutely fantastic. Pippa settled in straight away and was clearly spoiled with love and attention! Hannah kept us updated with lots of photos and really went above and beyond, arranging plenty of activities, long walks, and even social time with other spaniels. It was obvious that Pippa had a wonderful time, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Ezra had the best time. My-Yen sent loads of photos and updates, and I could tell how relaxed and happy Ezra was with her lovely family - he didn't really want to leave! I will definitely be back in touch next time we are in Cardiff for a doggy holiday. Thanks so much!”
About: I didn’t grow up with a dog but found every opportunity to spend time with them! In university I regularly walked/ cared for dogs in the area. I know what they need for walks, meals, playtime and love. I also look after my sister's dog regularly and have even branched out to house sitting/ pet sitting for my colleagues when they’re away! I'm happy with any routine or energy level. Your pet's in safe, caring hand and I'd be thrilled to help out! I work 4 days between Monday-Friday (2 of these are at home and I’m flexible with my days in office). My full day off varies each week so please check my calendar for availability! I'm able to take walks at lunch and before or after work. Weekends are totally open too. I live in a house with plenty of room for your pet to roam, and a fully fenced garden where they can safely explore and play. Plus, there's a lovely park just a 10 minute walk away, perfect for fresh air and fun outings. I’m currently working from home 2 days a week and have a full day off once a week (the full day off changes weekly). I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby’s/ keep them company! I also have multiple breaks during my work days and ample time on my lunch to take them out to stretch their legs. I also have weekend availability! I have a fenced garden which keeps everyone safe and secure during their time with me at my house. I’ve had experience with different dogs and their personalities. If I’m at your home, I don’t take being in someone else’s safe space lightly! I’m clean and trustworthy and will leave everything how I left it! I know dogs love routine so can happily carry out your wishes!
“I cannot recommend Seren enough, she treated our dog like a member of her own family. She sent regular photos and messages keeping our minds completely at ease. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the way Willow looked after Coco. I was so nervous about leaving him with anyone because he doesn’t take to people easily and being such a small dependant dog, who needs a lot of reassurance, that’s not easy to find. He took to Willow so well and they formed a bond almost instantly. We’re looking forward to our future stay overs 😊 thanks Willow.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a child. I enjoy walking dogs, taking them to the beach and open fields where they can sniff to their heart’s content. I have walked dogs for family, friends and neighbours for the last 10 years. I currently work part time as I’m now retired. I only work two days a week. I am available to look after your pet during the week and weekends. I have a fenced back garden with no side access. I have 2 very friendly and dislike border collies which will keep your fur babies company. I do have two large crates should you prefer.
“Diane was fantastic with my cockapoo, Oakley. Very informative while i was away by sending photos and messages keeping me updated. Oakley.was very relaxed for a nervous dog. I would highly reccomend 🙂”
“Kirsty looked after Spencer so well, he had a great time - think he’d have been happing staying! Plenty of activities, walks, playing and cuddles. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, and would definitely take him to Kirsty again. Kirsty also sent lots of photos and communication was really good! Very happy indeed.”
“Our Pegi had a wonderful time with Mari and family, she was so well looked after. Mari kept us up to date with messages and photos. Will definitely be booking in again soon. Thank you so much!”
“I would absolutely recommend Nina. Our spaniel Alf is a very nervous dog. When we went to collect him following his stay you could see how comfortable he was with Nina and her partner. Nina was also happy to give Alf his medication. I will definitely be booking Nina again for Alf.”
“Wow wow wow! When our usual dog sitter cancelled, we were really sceptical to find a new one. But honestly, Sarah and her family looked after Ottilie as if they were one of her own. She went on adventures to local cafés and local parks and is honestly the most tired I’ve ever seen her. Sarah provided photo updates everyday and Ottilie always looked happy. Thank you so much for everything! Ottilie loves her new toy! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“We decided to book Ewa's home boarding services quite last minute when our original plans fell through. We were quite apprehensive at first, as we were worried our 1 year old schnauzer would be too much to handle and wouldn't settle with Ewa and Patrick's dog JJ. The whole time we were away on holiday Ewa kept us updated on Cole with lots of pictures, videos and messages on what he was up to and how he was during the day. The frequency of communication between us really put us at ease as we hadn't done anything like this before. We were really pleased to know that our dog Cole was so well behaved and seemed to have a lovely time on his own little holiday. I would definitely recommend Ewa's services to anyone, she is very professional and a lovely person who you'd be happy to leave your pets with. I would book Ewa's services again anytime in the future if her and Patrick are avaliable. Thank you for everything!”

First time Dig has stayed with anyone other than us for 5 years and he loved it by the look of the excellent picture updates we received. Lisa was outstanding to deal with and truly cares about her dogs and those that she cares for. Lisa was a pleasure to deal with and explained everything as we were first timers. Dug will definitely be going back on his holidays to Lisa x
Hannah was great looking after our little dog Paddy! Gave us updates, communicative on the whole and was flexible in when we could pick him up. We picked up a clearly happy and relaxed dog the next day so no doubt he was well looked after. Would definitely rebook 😊
Meg and Evie went from a home to a home and settled quickly especially with the help of Jack’s 2 dogs! Evie takes a while to trust but she was a fully fledged member of the family by the end of the week. We are very grateful for your treating them as your own whilst we were away❤️❤️❤️ Thank you 🤗
Elizabeth is such a fantastic dog sitter! She was ideal for my elderly dog, Ruby. I am really glad I found her. She was looking after Ruby for 4 weeks (during this period there were 2 heatwaves). Ruby has the usual problems that come with age, including some kidney problems, needs to take medication and needs to feel safe and loved. Elizabeth provided such a safe and loving environment. She made sure that Ruby was comfortable throughout, cooked for her, made sure she took the medicine, stayed with her and made her feel at home. Elizabeth also set photos and messages every day and it was obvious that Ruby was very happy. Indeed, when I came to collect Ruby it was obvious that they had bonded and I am now looking for opportunities to have Ruby stay with Elizabeth more often. Right from the beginning I felt that Elizabeth was extremely good with elderly dogs (she has experience with them) and she is super responsible and responsive. I could trust her completely, which was a great relief. I feel really lucky to have found her. Ruby and I had never been separated for longer than 8 days, so this could have been a very difficult time, ut Ruby was so obviously happy and cared for. Thank you!
Susan and Gary were fantastic with Nolan. They looked after him really well and kept us updated every day. They asked lots of questions to understand Nolan’s specific needs and kindly accommodated his separation anxiety. The weekend Nolan stayed with them was really hot and they were really careful with walking him early in the morning and keeping him cool. It looks like he had a really great time, including lots of cuddles. Thank you for taking care of our boy! 🐶🥰
Skye is lovely, she looked after our elderly dachshund for the day and Rusty seemed very settled and happy in her care. Great communication and attention to detail. Would highly recommend Skye to other dog owners and would definitely rebook with her, many thanks :))
Sucheta is an amazing sitter, she looked after my puppy very well. She sent me pictures of him and gave me constant updates on his day and what they are doing. I felt at rest and I did not have to worry about my puppy’s well being. Her dog Chico became friends with my puppy too😊
Diane was fantastic with our dog jasper. She clearly just loves to have animals around and she really looked after him well. She catered for the heat excellently and even took jasper out for late night walks so he didn't go without exercise. Would highly recommend!
So very happy we found Denise! She looked after our pup so well, we had updates a couple of times a day and it was very clear that Dipi felt comfortable in her home and with her. They went for lots of adventures together and it was very clear that Dipi was having a great time. We have already booked Denise for our next trip!

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
