“Jasmine took the time to have a meet and greet meeting with Roger and me, she was friendly, engaging and Roger loved her. She asked lots of questions and got to know him, ready for his first drop in session. The drop ins went well, i received regular feedback and Jasmine was punctual and efficient. I highly recommend her and will be booking her again in the near future. Many thanks Jasmine from Linda and Roger x”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with 3 large dogs from age 5 to 22. 6 years ago we decided as a family to get our own dog - Tilly. We had her from a puppy so I’m used to puppy care and training. Tilly has a friend who I walk with regularly and often look after her for the day or overnight. I walk her everyday on the meadows local to us and I work from home so any dog will never be left alone for longer than an hour. I work for home so I have plenty of time to look after and play with your pups! I am available everyday for dog sitting, boarding, play dates etc. I live with my husband, my daughter, her boyfriend and our Labrador Tilly so if your dog was to come and stay they would receive plenty of attention. I have a fenced garden and a secure gate so your pups will be very secure. I have my own fur baby called Tilly who is very friendly with all dogs (she’s a big softy and very spoilt). I walk her everyday and she gets lots of time off the lead, if your dog would also require that. We’re not shy to sharing our furniture or beds with dogs if needed, as that’s what we’re used to.
About: *Available for last-minute bookings and regular weekday drop-ins* I’m really tuned into animals, so I focus on making them feel safe, calm and loved—not just “looked after.” I’ve got a 14-year-old dog, so I’m confident with senior care, slower walks and meds, and a young cat… so I’m very familiar with being politely ignored until food is involved 😄 I’ve got experience with puppies right through to seniors, and with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs, energy levels and personalities. I’m gentle, reliable and stick closely to your pet’s routine, with plenty of updates so you know your floof is happy and settled. I’m available weekdays between school drop-off and pick-up, and I plan my day around that time so pets get consistent care and attention rather than being rushed. I keep my schedule manageable so I can be fully present, and I’m happy to arrange weekends on request where possible, though availability may vary slightly as I have a 4-year-old son. I always follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and settled, whether that’s in your home or out on walks. I take the time to understand their needs, personality and any specific instructions, including feeding, walks, medication and behaviour. I keep everything calm, secure and predictable, making sure doors, gates and spaces are safe at all times. I’m attentive to any changes in behaviour and adjust my approach to suit them, and I’ll keep you updated regularly so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.
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.
About: I’ve had dogs of my own for 30 years , and was a puppy walker for Guide Dogs for The Blind. Only finishing puppy walking when one of our dogs was withdrawn and came back home. I am experienced with puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. I’m working part time at the moment so am available to care for and walk your dog 7 days a week. My aim is to be a full time dog walker. I have a fully enclosed yard ( which is disinfected daily ) a lovely Labrador called Cariad , a little pug call Winnie to keep your fur baby company. Whilst at my home your fur baby will be allowed on the sofa and upstairs
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!
“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”
“We cannot recommend Eleanor highly enough. She looked after our fur baby, Bubba, while we were away on holiday, and the level of care she provided went far beyond our expectations. From the very beginning, she was warm, reliable, and incredibly trustworthy — exactly the kind of person you hope to find when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands. Throughout our trip, Eleanor kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and little notes about how Bubba was doing. These updates meant the world to us and allowed us to fully relax, knowing he was happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and Bubba absolutely adored her. What really stood out was the way she went above and beyond. Not only did she take exceptional care of Bubba, but she also checked in on the house and even gave his rooms a tidy before we returned — such a thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated after a long journey home. It’s rare to find someone who treats your home and your pet with the same respect and care they would give their own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Eleanor, and we will absolutely be booking her again in the future. Knowing Bubba is in such capable, loving hands gives us complete peace of mind. If you’re considering booking her, don’t hesitate — she is an absolute gem.”
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.
“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’ve had pets since I was born. I was raised with 5 dogs at home, from puppies to elderly I enjoyed training, feeding and playing with them. As a teenager I’d help my friends by going to their houses to take care of their dogs and cats and take them for walks. I’m a volunteer in a woodland forest rescuing animals and creating new habitats for them, which improves my understanding of their behaviours and needs. I don’t do boarding for pets from different households at the same time so they can feel more comfortable while away from home. If your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications or a specific routine please let me know during the booking. I’m currently back home during summer break from university so if there isn’t any plans I’m free the whole week 24/7. I got a flexible schedule to be able to adjust for shifts needed I’ve got a house with a closed and fenced garden with play and have a good time. I don’t have any pets at home but I’m free the whole time to stay with your pet.
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.
“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”
“From the moment we met Donna we knew our cats would be safe and happy being taken care of by her whilst we were away. She sent photos and kept us updated every time she visited and we came home to 3 very calm contented cats. We can’t thank Donna enough and highly recommend her services.”

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!

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.
