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!

“Kirstie looked after our two cats over the holidays. We met up before to go through everything, which was great and Kirstie met the two pests briefly 😂. We came back and my cats were so happy, a lot happier than staying at a cattery. Will use Kirstie again without hesitation, she’s lovely and friendly. Thank you xxx”


About: I have a remote job for a tech company which means that your dog will never be left alone and can go outside or play with me whenever they like. I can easily adapt when I walk them based on their usual routines from early mornings till late evening, as well as multiple times a day. I want to dog sit mainly because I work remotely, my partner Alex works full time in Rugby so most of the day I am alone so I would adore some dog company! I would one day love to have a dog of my own, but as I have recently finished my Masters degree, started my career and bought a house that is still a few years away. My family dog Amber lives with my parents so I miss her terribly! Every dog I would look after would get the same love and care I would give her. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s family’s three Jack Russels, and having grown up in a village full of dogs who we often looked after growing up, I am very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels including the really high energy ones. My home is in a quiet village with a fully dog proofed garden (chicken wire has been nailed to the open fence) that overlooks the fields. There is a dog park opposite where the dog can also be let of the lead for a good run around, as well as lots of good walks nearby. Even though I am new to this app I am setting my years of experience to when my family first got Amber which was 10 years ago as I have been looking after her so much in that time, as well as looking after different dogs in the village for either the day or for a week at a time. As I work remotely I can take my breaks and lunch whenever is needed for your dog. I am up early morning a few hours before work if they need a good walk in there as well. I have a fenced garden and can keep watch of them at all times to make sure they are safe and happy. I can adapt their living based on what they have at home: I can put a baby gate up if they are usually not allowed upstairs, or allow them or not onto furniture depending on your preferences as well. I also have a dog seatbelt for the car if they prefer to go to a certain park or need to be driven anywhere for any reason.

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.
“Lisa visited before our trip away and made us feel very happy leaving Rhino in her care. She made sure we felt completely at ease with lovely photos and detail on her time with him. Really happy with the lovely service, hope we will be able to use Lisa again. When we arrived home he was also very happy and comfortable. Thank you.”

“MJ has been great throughout. She responded quickly to all messages, and went above and beyond with photos and videos while we were away. She took care to get to know our shy girl, who seemed to take to her straight away! Thank you so much! ”

“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 have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire. I can look after senior dogs and can administer medication. My schedule can be quite flexible however I am dipping in and out of shifts and different places. I am however mostly available. I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 1 year old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.
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.
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.
About: As a dog lover with years of training dogs with my mum being a dog agility teacher, i would offer a reliable and caring environment for your furry friends. Daily walks and overnights stays, with all the attention they will ever want! They’ll always have there tails wagging! I’ve experienced working with lazy dogs, playful dogs, reactive dogs so will always be open to learning what they need! I’m currently looking for a new role in the industry and this is something I’d be passionate about! I would give them all the care and attention that they need! I would offer on lead and off leads walks, feed them, cuddle them, make them feel how u would when your at home with them!

About: Finding someone you trust with your pets isn’t always easy. especially if your dog is reactive, nervous, or has behavioural challenges. As someone who owns a reactive dog myself, I truly understand how difficult it can be to find someone you feel comfortable leaving them with. The worry, the guilt, and the fear that they’ll be misunderstood is something I’ve experienced too. That’s why one of my favourite parts of pet sitting is building a genuine relationship with both you and your pet. I love taking the time to earn your pet’s trust, learn their personality, and create a bond where they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. At the same time, I want you to feel just as confident, knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely understands and treats them like family. Whether your pet is reactive, nervous, full of confidence, or somewhere in between, I always adapt my care to suit their individual needs. Every pet deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. Thank you for trusting me with your four-legged family members and I can’t wait to meet you all. i am currently coming out of a kennel job to try and fulfill my dream of having my own walking and sitting business, i would love to be the one you pick and trust i am knowledgeable on all breeds and behaviours, working with anxious, aggressive and resource guarding dogs at work, my dog at home is also people and dog reactive so i know the struggle of taking them on walks or trying to get care
About: In my 20’s during a live in role I had sole care for a rescued German Pointer requiring 8 miles exercise each day.

I am used to staying in others homes along with their pets and keep to the pets usual routines as much as possible. I’m used to crate training, toilet training for puppies, long walks for working dogs, as well as easier walks for those with hip issues or elderly 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.
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.
