About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I absolutely love animals. I have dog sitting experience for friends dogs, I’ve been on many walks and looked after my cousins dog on many occasions. I have also been around cats loads and know how to look after them well! I’ve always wanted a dog or cat of my own, and I just love being around all animals, so would be honoured to look after your pet! Im currently on my summer holidays before starting uni, so I’m free most of the day all week to look after your lovely pets! I love exercising and going on walks, and would love to do so in the company of a furry friend. I am confident in my ability to manage dogs on a lead, including bigger ones to ensure their safety, additionally being vigilant on walks to make sure there’s nothing that could put them in harms way.
About: I have had dogs all my life, from a Bichon Maltese to a Golden Retriever. Most recently, I had my own Golden Retriever, so I understand the commitment, responsibility, and joy that come with caring for a dog every day. I know what it means to provide love, attention, exercise, and a safe, happy environment. I truly understand life with a dog and will care for yours as if they were my own. I work full-time, 9 hours a day, Monday to Friday. I'm usually available from 5PM, Tuesday to Friday. Most weekends I'm also free, unless I already have plans. I'm sure we can discuss the details and find a schedule that works well for everyone. I have a secure, fenced garden with no grass and a decked area just outside the house. My home is spacious, clean, and safe, with nothing that could harm your dog. There is a field nearby for regular walks, and if your dog is comfortable travelling by car, I can also take them to a local park for longer walks and extra exercise.
About: I have no pets of my own currently so am opening my home to take care of your pets ❤️ working from home I can provide attention and toilet breaks regularly, as well as lovely walks in nearby pathways, woodlands and public fields. I love dogs but have never owned one myself due to my love of travel. I’ve taken care of family members dogs, made sure to give them plenty of attention to make sure they’re as comfortable as they can be with me. I work from home 4 out of 5 days in a week and am routinely at home during weekends. I live in a detached house close to woodland and public fields which are great for dog walks! While I wait for the right time to become a dog parent myself, I want to provide temporary care for dogs in my area. I have evenings and weekends free mostly to be able to take care of pets on a longer basis. Through the week I work from home on the computer roughly 9-5, usually with an hour lunch to take dogs for walks and play with them. I can be attentive for toilet breaks and feeding throughout the day. I am typically in the office one day per week and this is usually on Wednesday, with some advance notice I may be able to make arrangements to cover care on this day if needed for holiday stays. Start a conversation and we can find a suitable arrangement together :) The garden has 6 foot fences with a lockable gate to the side. There is ample lawn and concrete slabs for toileting and playing. There is a large long living room with dual access and patio doors for direct to garden access, as well as a back door from the utility to the garden. There is plenty of roaming space for your pets.
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 :)
About: Huge animal lover - I think I may love them more than I love people 😅 I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have looked after pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I’ve cared for everything from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work full time, but I’m available most evenings and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If you need care during the day, feel free to reach out — I’ll always do my best to be flexible. Holidays and special occasions can also be arranged with advance notice. If you don’t see a time that works on my calendar, just message me and I'll see what I can do 😊 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure a clean, secure environment for pets, whether we’re at home, on walks, or visiting your home. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to medication, and I’m fully attentive during every visit. I’m reliable, responsible, and treat every pet as part of my family, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Absolutely loved having Allanagh look after our bunnies! She was so polite and friendly when we met her, and her passion for animals is clear. She went above and beyond, and I have complete trust in her. She even completed some grosser jobs like cleaning out the litter tray, that we didn’t even ask her to do! She sent us pictures from each visit and my bunnies clearly loved her visits! As long as we haven’t scared her off, we cannot wait to book her in again! I 100% recommend her to anyone who gets nervous about leaving their pets, you won’t regret it! Thank you for everything!!”

About: I've had 2 dogs my entire life, both since puppies. My first when I was younger but I played a big part in her care, my second dog, Rem, I have had since she was born and she's my fur baby! I've had 14 cats living with me and owned in my life too, including fostering for an animal rescue before they found their forever homes. I don't mind little creatures like hamsters, Guinea pigs, rats, snakes, spiders, or any other reptile so are not a problem if you have these. I have never met a ferret but have heard they can be very fun to be around. I currently have a lot of free time, and really enjoy working with animals and being active. Your pets will be my first priority in the time they're in my care. I can look after your pet however you like, keeping to any routine you have in place or any dietary requirements they may need. I know all the local parks around Hinckley having lived here the majority of my life and will make sure your pets are kept on a leash unless you can guarantee they will recall.
About: 🐾 About Me Hi!

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

Planning a trip away or last-minute night out? Our search tool makes it easy to find pet sitters who are ready to help. To get the most accurate availability, try to:
- Lock in your dates: Enter specific dates to get the most accurate availability in your area. If your plans are 'up in the air' search within a one- or two-day window.
- Look for the holiday tag: During peak seasons, sitters who have manually confirmed availability will have a 'Confirmed availability for [Holiday]' on their profile.
- Check the 'Last Updated' status: On each sitter’s profile, there is a calendar with their availability. Under their calendar is a status update for when they last updated their availability.
<b>Tip:</b> Sitters who specialise in drop-in visits and dog walks may have more flexibility for last-minute visits than sitters who focus only on house sitting or boarding.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leads, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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.

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 , 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.
