“Ree was wonderful. Our cat is very timid and so it was very reassuring to see from the photos and videos that Ree sent, how well she was responding to Ree and enjoying her visits. It was lovely to come home and find our cat in excellent spirits having been taken care of so well. Thank you so much Ree for being so reliable and conscientious. ”
“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.
“Isie was great with my cats (I've got one shy one and one grumpy one and she won them both over!). The daily updates were much appreciated. I'd definitely book her again (thank you Isie). ”
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
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.
About: Dogs are so precious and I’ve been looking after them for years. I have experienced with big dogs, small dogs, young dogs and old dogs! I love to get to know their personalities and interests, and base my care from that. I love long walks and if your dog did too, then we will make a great match. I’m playful, attentive and respectful and I love a dog cuddle! I work full time from home, so I can use that as a huge advantage and work from your home whilst caring for your lovely pets! I am absolutely happy to take your lead on what your pet needs, and base my care on that. Whatever precautions you take in your home, I will follow alongside those routines that are so important in making sure your pet feels minimal change when you’re away!
About: I have taken care of animals from an early age growing up on my family’s ranch in Montana. Fitness is important to me and don’t mind going above and beyond for your pets needs through exercise if required. I have a fully enclosed garden and would primarily be interested in doggy day care or dog walking in Truro area, although I’m open to boarding if the dates work and the dog is well behaved. I’m currently available to take on pet sitting jobs. I am a much more affordable and safe option than a traditional doggie day care and have excellent ratings and reviews. I have a fully fenced yard and am currently working on a degree so have extra time and flexibility to provide doggie day care. I own a sweet female puppy she would enjoy the company too!
“Abi was really great. She kindly popped over to meet Fremmy and Mowgli before her first lunch visit and I could tell straight away that she was a kind and professional person with a real love of animals.”
“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 a patient and caring dog sitter who will make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, affection, and care.

I am currently working part time (around 20 hours a week), so have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! Monday morning or evening. Tuesday & Thursday afternoons or nightime.

“I can’t recommend Jasmin enough! She kindly stepped in last minute to do daily drop-in visits with my dog, Roxy, for a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She even came the very same day for a meet-and-greet, which immediately put my mind at ease. Jasmin is so friendly and caring, and she made sure to keep me updated with prompt messages and photos of Roxy enjoying her time in the garden. She was always on time, reliable, and truly went above and beyond. I’m so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for peace of mind while away from their pup!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and individual attention I give every pet. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, having been raised with Gordon Setters, and as an adult I’ve always owned Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training, toilet routines, and socialisation, as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler approach, medication, and slower-paced walks. Having owned Dachshunds, I’m especially mindful of handling, back care, and appropriate exercise. I’m confident following detailed care instructions and maintaining established routines. I also keep owners regularly updated with messages and photos so they can feel completely at ease while their pets are in my care. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My aim is always to provide a safe, happy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I am a single mum who works part time and from home, and dog walks and beach strolls are a part of my day so your pooch will have plenty of love and attention. I have a small fenced in garden for the dogs to play and Walter is happy to keep your dog company along with my 10 year old who is obsessed with all dogs.
“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.”
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.
“Carey is a lovely caring person who has looked after our 2 cats for a week. Nothing was too much trouble and she sent us regular updates and pictures. Thank you so much we will definitely book her again in the future 😊”
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!!

We were extremely impressed with the service Zoey provided while looking after Purdey. She kept us regularly updated with lovely photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind and reassured us that Purdey was happy and well cared for. Zoey provided a first-class, professional and caring service, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their pet. We would happily use her again!

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!

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.
