“Becky was excellent, she watched Tigerbun for two weeks. We recieved constant updates, with pictures, and it was clear from the content that Tigerbun was being well looked after. We would recommend Becky to anyone who needs their cat looked after.”
About: I moved to Cornwall for university and soon found the passion for surfing. I now live in Cornwall and have been looking after dogs for several years now. Moving to Cornwall on my own has made me very independent, but also very flexible. Which means pet care fits easily into my day to day routine. I have a few small jobs that I can schedule around the dog sitting, so I'm able to give pets plenty of time and attention. I thrive on having a routine and living an active, healthy lifestyle. When looking after pets. I understand how important routine is, including regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, especially as different breeds have different needs. With my active lifestyle, i genuinely enjoy walks, runs, and spending time outdoors, so keeping dogs happy and exercised comes naturally to me. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I'm always respectful, tidy and minimal, making sure everything is kept just as the owners expect.
About: I have lived with labradors for my entire life but I love all breeds and animals! I have babysat and have done dog sitting for family members dogs.

I have a dog friendly car and live in Truro so I can come pick up too! Feel free to give a message to arrange x I live with my Mum with two black labradors with a fenced courtyard, with a dog park only a few minutes up the road. Both friendly and accepting but initial meeting will be required!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with about 3 years of professional dog caring experience and many more years at home. I grew up with dogs and really miss my own since moving, so caring for dogs is a real joy for me. I’m confident with all kinds of dogs, including those who are nervous or shy—I always take a calm, gentle approach and move at their pace. Whether your dog needs a fun, active walk or just some quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. Reliable, friendly, and fully focused on your dog’s needs. My schedule is very flexible and I’m happy to accommodate most times! I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I’ll do my best to keep my calendar updated regularly. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I’m unable to host dogs in my own home, I’m more than happy to walk or care for them at your home. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, especially with anxious or sensitive dogs, so I always take a calm, patient approach and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I’ll make sure your dog feels secure in their own familiar environment, and I’m always happy to send updates, photos, or messages during visits or walks. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your space, and completely focused on your dog’s wellbeing.
“Danielle did a brilliant job taking care of our young cats. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and it was great for us to receive regular updates and photos so we knew they were safe and well.”
About: Born into a veterinary household, I grew up caring for every type of animal — from hamsters and tortoises to lambs, cats and dogs. As an adult, I’ve always shared my home with dogs, from tiny Shih Tzu puppies to giant Newfoundlands. This lifelong experience has given me a natural instinct for understanding what every dog needs to feel safe and loved. At the points of life where Iv been able to live with animals such a university or housing restrictions I have volunteered at either a dog walking charity or a small grooming business. Currently taking a break from cardiac Nursing, as youngest child is in their first year of school. Once school run is done we will either head to Trevaunance Cove, Portreath beach, Idless woods. Whichever you your pup would prefer. Then home for a snack & snooze, while I complete chores Then again after school pick up have a fun run down Coosebean woods/ cycle track just at the back of my home. I have a large garden that has some holes in the hedge-line, however your dog will be supervised while outside. No toxic plants. Always have access to fresh water, inside and outside
“Wow. These sitters were EXACTLY what Fearn needed. They were so attentive with her that when she realised it was me that was back home and not another visit with Callum & Jazz, I could sense the disappointment that it wasn’t them! They bought additional treats, they bought poo bags when I had ran out. They even did a little TLC on my home when fearn had an unfortunate accident. I honestly cannot fault these lovely people and hope that they’ll look after fearn again. Total peace of mind, and lots and lots of love + updates on fearn. 6* should be an option.”
About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs, I even grew up with Irish wolfhounds, so know how to handle the larger breeds. I’m very reliable and have walked dogs for a long time, and due to my love for animals, I’ll enjoy walking your dog just as much as they will. Im currently working a part time job so have plenty of free time to walk and play with your pups! I would love to pursue dog walking as a full time job and therefore my availability is very flexible. I have a large, fenced, secure garden and will keep you dogs entertained in their favourite way. Whether that be playing fetch or cuddling up with tummy scratches!!
About: My family has always owned dogs so I have a lifetime of personal experience. I volunteered and multiple animal sanctuaries and zoos growing up and I worked for pets at home for more than three years where i specialized in dog care. I am available most days and weekends for any bookings and will normally be happy to take bookings on short notice. The safety of the pets come first and for that reason I would make sure to supervise them and if in the garden make sure its enclosed and has no open gates. I work part time and have a very flexible daily schedule. The best thing to do is contact me with the dates and times you require and I will do my best to accommodate. The safety of your pets is my top priority, on our walks I like to keep them on the lead untill in certain they will listen to commands from me.

“Elisha came for a pre visit and we spoke of the requirements of our 2 cats, Daisy and Diesel, their feed schedule, their dietary requirements and cleaning up of their litter box. Whilst we were away, Elisha took care of them, giving us excellent updates on their activities and what they had eaten etc.”
“Jenny was great! My cat Bruce seemed to settle in really well with her visiting and was very happy when I got back. The overall communication was great, will definitely be going back to her again the next time I’m away!”
About: I'm very passionate in helping families with busy schedules and providing care to animals as well as helping to clean, cook and walking of dogs. I've had pets my whole life and currently have 2 cats and a dog. Working part time to help families with their pets, very flexible with hours and can travel all over Cornwall, also happy to negotiate wages and costs. I walk my dog everyday when I am not at university, so walking dogs is completely fine, I have also lived with two cats my whole life who I feed every morning and night.
About: I have always loved animals and feel calm and comfortable around both dogs and cats. I grew up around dogs, as my grandparents had a German Shepherd, so I understand how loyal, sensitive and individual they can be. Most of my personal experience is with cats, and I really enjoy caring for them, understanding their personalities and giving them space, patience and attention when they need it. I also worked with cows and calves for almost two years, which taught me a lot about patience, routine, animal behaviour and staying calm around animals of different sizes and temperaments. My partner also has many years of experience with dogs, including caring for a Jack Russell and a Beagle for around 14 years, so dogs are very welcome in our home too. I am self-employed and work flexibly, which means I can give pets plenty of attention, comfort and care during their stay. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, rest, basic cleaning and photo updates. I am self-employed and have a flexible schedule, so pet care can fit well into my daily routine. I’m usually available for boarding and day care on selected days, and I can give pets regular attention, toilet breaks, walks, feeding and quiet rest time throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe and homely environment in a quiet countryside area. We have a semi-enclosed outdoor space and are surrounded by fields, including a beautiful daffodil field nearby. The garden is not fully fenced, so pets are always supervised when outside. I take extra care with young dogs, nervous dogs or dogs who may try to escape, and I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. We have a cat who spends most of his time outdoors, and I only accept pets that are comfortable or manageable around cats. I always manage space and introductions carefully to keep everyone safe and relaxed.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, I have taken care of 4 dogs since I was 8. My love for them keeps growing with the years. I have taken care of any animal found abandoned on the street or badly treated, for me they all deserve care and love. I have volunteered at animal sanctuaries so I feel confident to take care of any sort of dog or cat. I am used to having lots of pets around, I love to walk them, cuddle, feed and bathe if needed. I am used to all sort of ages and breeds. I’m a freelance writer and I work mostly from home. I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week. I share my house with my two friends who both adore animals and would give them much love. I miss my family dogs very much and taking care of your pet would make me so happy. I am always looking forward on spending some time with a four legged friend! I have a quiet backyard, it has a lovely shade and it’s very peaceful, so it is perfect for a day sitting. For the night I am happy to have your pet over unless it’s a big dog then I would prefer staying over at the owner’s home. I am very tidy and respectful, I will leave your house just as I have found it and I do believe the animal will feel safer being at their own home.
About: I have looked after animals from a very young age, from little rodents, to dogs, cats and horses and donkeys. I’ve taken in rescue animals from kill centres, helped to foster animals aswell, I enjoy the outdoors, and I have specialised in senior care and disabilities, having looked after senior dogs as pets myself when they don’t want to walk so far but would like to have a little stroll. I’m currently looking at part time, as I work full time. Looking at doing drop in, and dog walking services so I’ll be available. I will treat your home like my own home, will care and attention.

Madi has been wonderful, taking such great care of our little kitten. She spent lots of time playing and was very flexible in responding to what our cat needed each day. She made sure she was always happy, entertained, well-fed, and cuddled. We were able to fully relax on our holiday knowing our cat was in such good hands.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Cornwall pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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 Cornwall 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.
