About: I have worked with dogs in various settings, having cared for rescue dogs on a Greek island, been a dog 'nanny' to 24 Bichon-Frise in Northern Spain and trained sled dogs in the far north of Sweden. I have a National Diploma in Animal Management and completed the first 2 years of my Zoology degree. I have worked with a lot of different animals in zoos, farms, reptile shops, even wild Meerkats in the South African desert! There isn't much I haven't come across and so I am well prepared to look after your fur-baby. Dogs are my passion and our 3 year old PatterJack Hartley is the most loved (spoiled) pup! He is very friendly, full of energy and loves to play so will be very excited to have a friend to stay 🥰 I work part-time from home Monday to Friday in an admin/accounts based role, which is very flexible and allows me time to focus on your pet when it suits them, I can work around nap times and am here for playtime & walks when they wake up! I spend most weekends taking Hartley to his favourite places; forests, beaches, rivers - he is a proper water baby and will swim for miles! We are very lucky to have a have a long rural lane with fields either side that goes for miles, literally on our doorstep so there is plenty of exploring to be done and lots of sniffs. We have a fully enclosed back garden (Hartley is an escape artist so if he can't get out then no one can), the whole of our 4 bedroom house is very dog friendly and your pup is free to roam anywhere.
About: Experienced and reliable dog sitter, now based in Bristol. I’ve looked after dogs regularly over the years, including overnight stays, walks and caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I’m responsible, caring and love treating every dog as my own! 🐶❤️ My schedule is quite flexible as a student and I can easily create free days. I’d also enjoy walking the dog as it helps me get out the house and exercise!! I am located in Redlands but do not have a garden. However, I am not too far from the downs and can drive up there to walk them around.
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs mostly those of family and close friends, building trust and deep bonds along the way. I’ve loved animals since I was very young, and nothing makes me happier than seeing them joyful and well cared for! I’m always free on the weekends and Mondays I have a dog so very active life! Hope I can help you with your best friend! Fenced yard, and they will never be left alone for long periods! My dog has a lot of energy so yours will be very happy!
“This was the first time I've used Lisa's services. She is usually joined by her partner in petsitting but because Talula is a timid cat and only used to one on one company I asked her to come alone. This she did, with good grace. Lisa managed to win over Talula, so much so, that she allowed herself to be brushed! Quite an achievement and it was lovely to come home to a well-groomed, contented cat :-). Lisa kept in touch with just the right amount of communications and some delightful photos. Everything I asked her to do she did so diligently. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa. Thank you.”
About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes ans sizes and very recently lost my own French Bulldog. I’m looking to get into sitting and walking other people’s furry friends as a way of meeting new people, and getting off the sofa. Maybe progress into full time in the near future. Initially I’d like to do this in afternoon/evenings as I’m currently working myself full time. If I enjoy doing this I’d considered daytime and weekends too. I’d be visiting in the pet owners home. I’d take utmost care with their property as I’d expect the same if the roles were reversed. I’d treat their pet with nothing but kindness.
About: In a rehabilitative setting I am experienced in handling dogs with extensive needs, such as post surgery, senior care, and behavioural challenges due to injury/conditions. Whether your dog be nervous of new people, need to stay calm post surgery or require extra help with small tasks I am equipped with the knowledge to help! I’m currently working full time, with a springer spaniel and greyhound mix who keep me busy during the week. I offer weekend overnight stays/weekend walks around my Monday to Friday job. I care for your dogs in your own home, meaning they are in an environment they know and will have my undivided attention during each visit.
“Bhasuri saved us when our prior arrangements fell through last minute. She was amazing! Communicated consistently throughout the entire booking. Came home to a happy boy. Will definitely book again.”
About: I have worked professionally with dogs for the last 10 years - working in kennels, dog walking and more recently becoming a dog trainer. I am experienced walking dogs of all breeds and sizes, and with all different behavioural needs. I also have a 9 month old Labrador puppy, so I am happy walking dogs of all ages :) I am dog walking full time, and so I can accommodate longer walks, and can fit into your busy schedule to ensure you pup gets all the physical exercise they need! I have a crash proof crate in my car if you would like the dog to be taken somewhere new to walk. I also have plenty of long-lines and flexi leads to allow freedom without the risk of your dog not recalling back to me.
“Tabitha did a great job with drop-in visits for my cat. It was a last minute request that she was able to help book in a day. She took great care of my pet, was communicative, and sent lots of good photos. Would book again!”
About: I grew up with a border terrier and then got a cocker spaniel when I was a real adult. I am a strong believer in a trained dog and so I am not a push over with them but I do love cuddles. I now live alone with my dog Ezri, Ezri is a cocker spaniel who gets on with all dogs and so your pup will need to like him too. I work fulltime from home, and so I walk Ezri in the mornings and evenings and so able to provide company to dogs during the day and some evenings and able to take them out at lunchtime if needed. I have a ground floor flat and have my own dog who will be here at all times. I have a spare room if required to separate the dogs and space for a cage if supplied. Ezri is crate-trained and so this is available too. I am at home most of the time during the day. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, but very happy to keep them off if these are your rules at home.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs before and I love animals very much. I’m quite active in my personal life so going on walks and playing is no trouble. I always wanted a dog when I was a kid, which is why I love them so much now!! :))) Don’t have another job so I have plenty of time to look after animals, I’m starting university in a few months and once I know my time table ill be able to look after animal around my schedule. I know my friends dogs feeding routines and hygiene routine like the back of my hand, I know exactly what they look like when they’re feeling scared, excited or anxious. I would never raise my voice or harm an animal and I would call the owners, then services in case of emergency.
About: I have owned 2 dogs, 20 rabbits and 3 Russian dwarf hamsters (household) growing up. I even have experience with goats, chickens, cows in my family’s farm. I have grown up to love and respect animals by handling them with care, educating myself about them and their environment and recognised their needs and individuality. I am able to keep my dog occupied despite the weather being gloomy. I walk my dog once or twice a day as this would also benefit my physical health, working on my cardio. I even listen to podcasts to support my learning ability for my education. I go over tricks with my dog and even teach her new ones too! She’s quite a lazy dog and loves to sleep a lot so I give her some time to relax after long days.

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 Cherwell 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.

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.
