“Susan was great with Oliver again, and sent regular communications - including a video of Oliver - before the booking and during. We feel very confident leaving Oliver in her care!”
“Leanne was absolutely wonderful! From the very first message, she was kind, professional, and so easy to communicate with. During the stay, she kept us updated with lovely messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our doggy was so happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Everything went perfectly, and it’s such a comfort to know we’ve found someone we can trust. X We’ll definitely be booking with Leanne again in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”
“Maisie looked after my two dogs and cat in our home. One of my dogs has a tricky temperament and it is fairly challenging to manage her needs. Maisie was attentive to her needs and took amazing care of all of the animals and we returned to them happy and calm. I would recommend Maisie without hesitation.”
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
“Colin and Cris are amazing. We left our beloved pooches with them.for over 2 weeks which for a first time sit, was quite daunting for us. We couldn't have asked for more, as we received regular updates and photos and we truly felt happy that our two little ones were being loved and well cared for. We came home to very happy pooches and we cannot thank Colin and Cris enough ! It made our holiday so much better knowing they were in good hands. Thank.you again guys xxxx”
“Lucy is a great pet sitter, Mabel had a great day with her - she was cared for and entertained, whilst she e received regular updates and photos to keep our mind at ease. Lucy is kind and diligent, with great knowledge of dogs’ needs”
“Absolutely lovely people and couldn’t wish for anyone better to look after our crazy boy. Complete trust in leaving Maverick with them for our special day. Definitely would book them again :)”
“Jayne and Brian did a great job taking care of both of my dogs and sent me updates with information of where they went along with photos. They were respectful of my home too. Thank you for taking care of Loco and Bella”
“Couldn't be happier with India's service! We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our senior dog Gabby overnight as she's recently gone blind and is still adjusting to our new house. We knew right away that we didn't have to worry as India was very calm, patient, and understanding. She sent me frequent updates and pictures so I could see how Gab was getting on, and we came home to a very happy and well looked after pooch. Highly recommend and will certainly be booking again in the future!”
“We booked Andy to walk our dog Winnie prior to his stay, so that Winnie would know him. As expected Andy arrived promptly and walked Winnie. More than happy to highly recommend Andy. He was excellent with Winnie. Thank you”
“I had the absolute pleasure of leaving my baby boy, Diego, in Eden’s care—and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. This was the very first time I entrusted someone outside of family to look after him, and Eden exceeded every expectation. She was exceptionally attentive, warm, and professional from the very beginning, creating a safe and nurturing environment that immediately put both Diego and me at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Diego had a wonderful time in her care. I am truly greatful for the peace of mind she provided, and I feel confident knowing he was in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Eden to any fur baby parent looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced.”
“Katie did an amazing job looking after our pets! She communicated ahead of time to understand their needs and idiosyncrasies and we really felt she would care for our pets and not just keep an eye on them. She was fantastic at keeping us updated about what was going on while we were away and we could tell they were having a good time in her company. Would definitely trust her to look afte them again next time we go away!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and regularly look after pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, from young puppies to older dogs, and I’ll make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I work from home so am available mornings, lunchtime and evenings from 5pm onwards. I will be available most days in the week as well as weekends I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, well exercised, and given plenty of attention while you’re away.
“Anna was fantastic. Communicative and amenable. She kept me informed of how the sitting was going and sent photos regularly. She left the house super tidy when she left and clearly treated my home with respect whilst she was there. I would highly recommend Anna and wouldn't hesitate to use her again for pet sitting.”
“Emily took such good care of our dachshund, Lenny, as well as our home! Lenny was so relaxed and comfortable with her and we have already made a second booking with Emily! Would recommend her for any of your pets, she is so calm and patient with them which I think is why Lenny (a typically anxious dog) settled with her so quickly. Thank you Emily! xx”

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 Charnwood 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 Charnwood 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.
