“Our cat is very wary, touching on the neurotic, but Leanne managed to get close to her and she was much more relaxed when we got home than she normally is. For any cat owners I would certainly recommend Leanne”
About: Together, my partner Chris & I have over 20+ years of looking after dogs. We have trained 3 dogs since puppies between us, so can manage and enjoy any aged dog. We have looked after dogs of all temperaments and have experience with rescue dogs. Both of our cockapoos love doggy friends, so your dog will need to be ok with other dogs company. Narla is very playful & Bonnie is quite reserved but so loving. We both work full time, so would only be able to pet sit over the weekend from Friday to Sunday and bank holidays. Our weekends are dedicated to taking our dogs on satisfying, interesting walks (for all of us!). We have an enclosed garden with a 6 foot fence, so your dog will be secure. We also have a crate if your dog needs this over night. We can also sleep the dogs in separate rooms if needed.
“Annie was amazing. She arrived promptly and spent time playing with our puppy as well as making sure he was fed. The puppy was well looked after and I would highly recommend Annie to anyone needing a drop in service for their pet!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 8 years now, in a variety of different roles including a dog handler, kennel assistant and dog walker. I own 2 dogs myself, a ridgeback/rottweiler and a Labrador retriever. I’ve also worked with various dogs of all sorts of different sizes and backgrounds and believe all dogs deserve the same love and attention. As I currently work from 4:30 to 1:30 in my main job, I’ll be able to walk your dogs during the afternoon. I will offer a meet and greet initially before walking your dog, so you can get to know me a little bit and build some trust between you and me and also your dog.
“Eleanor was amazing as always looking after our cats. She’s always so caring and our cats love her! She always makes us feel totally at ease and we are so grateful to have her ☺️”
About: I’ve looked after dogs of all ages, from puppies under one year old to aged dogs, including dogs with disabilities and additional care needs. * Grew up with a poodle and cared for her for over 10 years. * Currently have two Bichon Frise dogs as a family, with over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for them. * Cared for more than 10 of pets through the trusthousesitters app, which i have been trusted and appreciated with 5 stars of reviews by pet owners for my attentive, loving care I currently work full-time, finishing at 5pm, so I’d love to spend my evenings walking and playing with dogs after work. I’m also happy to house sit when pet owners are away, giving their pets plenty of company and care while they’re at work or travelling! I will care for pets in their owner’s home and safe place to play(park, woods…) I also provide proper house care like watering the plants (indoor and outdoor) and keeping house ideally tidy.
“Emily was fantastic from the start. She helped me with the set-up process, made time to meet Cooper beforehand, and kept me updated throughout the home sit and walk. From the photos Emily sent, it was clear that Cooper had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“We were over the moon! Kelly did a fantastic job and we could relax knowing our cat was in the best hands. It was really lovely to meet Kelly before we left, and just knew she'd be perfect! Will definitely be asking her again and would highly recommend her, thanks again Kelly.”
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.
About: Welcome to my profile, thanks for dropping by! I have several years experience looking after dogs of various breeds and temperaments. Combining this with having my own fur baby named Alfie has taught me various skills to help give every dog the best experience they deserve. I run my own business from home plus I can drive which allows me the time and flexibility to accommodate my clients. Like a discount? Me too! Use this link to get £15 off your first booking with me: https://www.rover.com/sit/adams81629 Licence number: CBCAAL/123 I always try my best to be flexible for my clients. I am happy to walk your furry friend any time: weekday or weekend - rain or shine! I have lots of experience caring for dogs. Every dog is different, at first I just allow them time and space to get used to me if they are a little cautious of new people. Being warm, open and friendly is always the best place to start. If needed, a treat is often the way to a dogs heart!
About: I have had animals in my home since I was 8 years old. I have two very loving 13 year old cats and a 6 year old Labrador. I have also had experience with other people’s pets over a long period of time, gaining experience with a range of breeds, sizes and ages of pets. I am currently a final year student at Loughborough University, so my timetable is very flexible during the week, with lots of time to be at your house or pop in for a toilet break or company. I have many years experience with looking after both cats and dogs. I am very able to deal with different breeds, energy levels and sizes.
About: Life long owner/ carer of dogs, all shapes sizes and breeds from loving Labs to terrific terriers, I provide kind care for them all! 😊 I work part-time, when I'm not at work I'm walking my own dogs usually up to 3 times a day so can easily take yours too! I offer a safe, clean cosy environment. I provide fun walks, balls included. Plenty of cuddles and love. Walks geared to the age and need.
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.
“Really happy I booked Olivia, she really helped us find a last minute sitter for our dog Dash and our cats. The pictures taken on the card gave us peace of mind whilst we were away that dash was being cared for, espeically the one of him cuddling her.”
About: I've been around animals since I can remember, mostly dogs but we've had a few cats as well. I've had 5 dogs in my life and most recently a puppy, so I know how to take care of a puppy such as crate and toilet training, playtime, and however old they are let them experience the outside and other dogs. also sadly the dog that has been around me since I was six past away earlier this year and ever since around last year he deteriorated quickly and had to help him into the garden and only could walk him up the drive way and let him sniff around so I think I have experience with senior dogs as well. I'm currently at Falmouth University studying Film however second year is coming to a close so I'll be free most days to take care of your pets. Currently I am available on most weekdays and weekends at midday and after. As a student my uni house doesn't allow pets but I'm more than happy to come to the owner's house and take care of the dog/s or cat/s while the owner is away, I know many places around Penryn and Falmouth to take them on a lovely walk.
“Julie came to our house to feed and exercise Jazz our cockapoo. She came to our home prior to this for meet and greet time with Jazz and ourselves. Julie was punctual, very professional and had a warm, caring, capable manner. We all immediately felt at ease. Her communication throughout was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie”
About: What sets me apart is how much genuine care and attention I give to every pet I look after. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Although I don’t have formal professional experience, I’ve grown up around dogs through my family, so I’m confident handling different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also have experience caring for rabbits, which has taught me patience, gentle handling, and the importance of paying close attention to behaviour and routine. I’m very reliable and organised with my time around college and work, so I can be flexible while still making sure pets get consistent care and attention. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions closely, whether that’s for feeding, walks, or general routines. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel reassured with regular updates and photos while they’re away. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m currently at college, which means I have several gaps throughout the day that I can dedicate to dog walks, check-ins, or spending time with pets. I also have fairly flexible evenings and mostly free weekends, so I’m able to offer consistent care and give pets the time and attention they need. I work part-time alongside this, but I plan my schedule carefully to make sure any pets I’m looking after are always prioritised and not left alone for long periods. I enjoy being active and getting outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s usual schedule as much as possible. When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel as comfortable and secure as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions so pets feel settled and stress-free in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I always keep the home clean and respected. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I used to run a boarding and walking business with my mum which I really loved but we recently had to close due to her relocating I now do this full time so I am always available and will often never leave the dogs unattended for any amount of time, unless you are happy for the dog to be left alone. I have water bowls and some pet supplies left over from when me and mum were boarding. I have recently moved onto a canal boat, it’s a wide beam with plenty of space and all amenities you’d expect of a house, the grounds in the marina are great for dogs and there are plenty of footpaths and walking routes near by.
About: I have looked after pets for roughly 15 years, from cats and dogs of all sizes. Also experienced with smaller exotic pets including hedgehogs and hamsters. Experience with puppy training both my own and family pets, be this with basic commands, toilet training, learning to walk to heel or recall. Further experience with elderly dogs through my own. Able to accommodate any requirements. Our team are 2 adults, one works from home full time, the other onshift ususally nights. Available all hours to accommodate any animal requirements from people who love to be around them. Able to work around the owners schedule to fit whatever they need. Most important thing is making sure the pets we look after are safe and comfortable. Animals wouldn't be left unattended as we know what they can get up to when a back is turned. Any details or instructions provided by the owner will be strictly followed as making sure their pets are as safe and comfortable as possible is our number one priority.

Connor was brilliant with Cooper! He came to meet us beforehand, and Cooper clearly liked him straight away. Cooper’s a big dog, but Connor was completely comfortable with his size and even asked what training we were working on so he could keep things consistent. He kept me updated throughout, which was really reassuring. I’d highly recommend Connor… friendly, reliable, and great with dogs!

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

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.

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.
