About: I’ve looked after small dogs for my neighbours while they were away and also taken them on walks. I’m open to receiving instructions on how to best care for your dog. Please don’t hesitate to reach out I work remotely, so I am flexible with my schedule. This makes pet sitting easier, I’m happy to do what works best for us both I have two cats, so I know how important safety is. For example I make sure both cats are inside when it gets late outside or making sure the cats don’t run out when I enter / leave the house. Communication is very important to me, you will receive daily updates about your pets. I want you to feel at ease while you are away :)
“Ben and his partner were absolutely outstanding! Ben took lots of photos of my two little girl kitties whilst I was away on a short trip. He reassured me twice daily and left the house spotless and even changed my kitchen bin and left my post neatly on the table for me. My cats were extremely calm and relaxed upon my return. Ben made sure my little girls were very well looked after and kept excellent and consistent communication, before, during and afterwards. I highly recommend Ben as a cat sitter and I will absolutely hire him again. Ben built very strong trust with myself and my cats almost instantly. He was warm and kind hearted towards my cats which was evident from the start. 10 out of 10 all the way! Thank you to Ben and his partner for the outstanding care and service received.”
About: Hi, I’m Ellie ! I grew up surrounded by dogs and have a deep, lifelong love for canine companionship. Currently, I regularly look after a friend's anxious Border Collie. This experience has taught me how to read subtle body language, respect boundaries, and provide the patient, structured care that sensitive or high-energy dogs need to feel safe. I specialize in medium to large breeds, as I am most comfortable and experienced with their strength, stamina, and unique personalities. When your dog stays with me, their days will look slightly different depending on the day of the week, but they will always enjoy a predictable, balanced, and fulfilling routine.From Monday to Wednesday, I am completely free to focus on outdoor adventures and household pottering. A typical active day starts with a brisk morning walk around the neighbourhood to shake off sleep, followed by breakfast and a dedicated rest period while I catch up on chores. The middle of the day is spent outdoors; as a keen gardener, I love having a furry shadow tag along to sniff the borders, explore the garden, and sunbathe while I work. In the afternoon, we load up for a bigger adventure further afield, heading to local dog-friendly parks and trails for an extended walk packed with new sights and smells. We finish the day with mental stimulation games and plenty of evening relaxation.From Thursday to Sunday, I work late six-hour shifts at a local café, but your dog is never truly alone. My husband works from home, meaning there is always a human presence in the house for safety and comfort. Before I leave for work, your dog will enjoy a long, high-energy "power walk" or park trip designed to thoroughly tire them out, followed by some fresh air pottering in the garden. While I am away, they settle comfortably into their crate or safe resting space with a long-lasting treat or puzzle toy to enjoy a deep, peaceful afternoon snooze while my husband works. On weekends when my husband might be busy, I also have a trusted neighbour on hand to pop in for extra garden potty breaks. I return home to a quiet house, where we enjoy a final garden stroll and a calm midnight cuddle before bed. We live in a lovely suburban home with a fully secure, private garden designed for both relaxation and exploration. The garden is completely enclosed by sturdy fencing and gates standing well over 6 feet high, ensuring total peace of mind and security - especially important as we live alongside a busier suburban road. The garden itself offers a fantastic mix of textures and environments for a dog to explore. There is a comfortable patio area right outside the door, a central grass lawn and pathway perfect for a bit of pottering, and a dedicated, shaded vegetable patch set on stones. This shaded area is a favourite spot for dogs to cool down, rest, and keep me company while I garden. Whether your dog loves to sunbathe on the patio, sniff along the paths, or relax in the shade, they will find a safe, secure haven here. In the summer, I leave the back door open so dog guests can go in and out and then ensure that they've explored and toileted regularly. I also make sure that the heatwaves are managed by having them stay in rooms with air con units and fans as well as giving them crushed ice and approved frozen treats. I have a conservatory that in the cooler months becomes the dog's space, otherwise we set up beds or crates in the living room depending on the dog's needs. I'm happy for them to follow me around the house as long as they don't go on the beds upstairs.

I can't praise Caitlin enough. She looked after my two German Shepherd's and did a fantastic job. She kept me informed of everything - what they'd eaten, toilet occurrences, play, any naughty behaviour, mess they'd made, included photos. The contact between us was daily and often numerous times during a day, which I really appreciated. I could see that she was taking excellent care of my dogs, which allowed me to enjoy my holiday without worrying about them. She even got to know their personalities really quickly and filled their toys with treats she'd brought with her. I wouldn't hesitate to use Caitlin again, as I know my dogs would be in great hands with her. I highly recommend having her as your dog sitter.
Jiahui was fantastic with Peggy! She visited and walked her every day, sent us loads of lovely photos and updates, and made sure Peggy was kept mentally stimulated as well as physically active. It was clear that Peggy was happy and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her!
Highly recommend Shakhnoza, punctual and made a fuss of the dogs took photos and reported back to me via the site any issues whilst I was away giving me peace of mind knowing they were been looked after during the day secured the property when leaving Overall a great sitter five stars

Yes. There are up to 2,559 pet sitters offering care in and around Coventry. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Coventry 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!
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
