Xinhua took excellent care of my cat, Tikli. She gave her plenty of play time and never once missed a visit. She also kept the house very clean. I highly recommend her.

About: Having grown up with dogs my entire life, it’s no surprise that they’ve become such an important part of who I am. From around the age of 13, I took on the primary responsibility for caring for our family dogs, gaining hands-on experience with every stage of their lives. This has included helping to train two puppies, providing daily care, exercise and enrichment, and giving extra patience and support to older dogs in their later years. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours, many of whom have trusted me to walk and look after their pets on a regular basis. I’m known for being genuine, reliable and attentive, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently a university student with a part-time timetable, giving me the flexibility to provide your pets with the time, attention and care they deserve. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily life, as I frequently walk my boyfriend’s dog and regularly travel home to care for my own pets. This means I can easily fit walks, drop-in visits and quality time into my routine, ensuring your pets receive reliable, loving care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’m happy to adapt my care to suit each pet’s individual routine, personality and needs, whether that’s following training methods, using crates where appropriate, administering enrichment activities or providing the right level of exercise and mental stimulation. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll always follow your instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, secure and well cared for.

About: As well as loving, feeding, and walking my own dog for 9 years, I have looked after many other people's pets. Additionally, I have dog sat from a range of a few hours, to a few days, so would love to meet and look after your pet. Currently, I am in a gap year and work at TKmaxx, so have mininal restrictions, so am free whenever you need, for however long you need. I am very keen on making sure your pet feels loved while your away, so will make sure they get all the attention they need. Also, I'm very cautious in tending to all of your pets needs, and making sure your pet's as comfortable as they can be.

About: I hold a level 4/HNC in animal care. I have had work experience looking after the puppies born at the Coventry police dogs. I have two dogs of my own a German Shepard and a Rottweiler so I am able to hold my own if a dog were to pull on their lead. I have also had work experience working at a dog walking company I have currently just finished university so looking to get more experience in the field of my studies. I am looking for other jobs so my schedule may change later on. I am hoping to start my own dog walking/boarding business so if you are looking for a long term dog walker I am the best candidate. I walk both my dogs twice a day, making sure to change my route to stimulate the dogs brain and allow them to sense new smells.

About: FULLY INSURED ✅✅ I have taken care of several different animals including dogs over the years. (Dogs being my favourite by far!) I am aware of the important responsibilities needed when taking care of animals. I owned a beautiful Pomeranian for 3 years who was my bestfriend before we had to unfortunately give him away. During that time, I helped train him and was his main carer in my family. I also worked with a dog walking company for a period of time where we would take up to 5 dogs per person on long walks through the country side and then take them back and allow time for socialisation and also washing them. I now recently own a beautiful husky puppy called Star and we are inseparable! I am not currently working at the moment so I have all the time in the world for your pets care and will be fully dedicated! This means many walks a day and plenty of attention! I will make sure to follow all house rules I am told by the owner, as I know how nerve wracking it can be having someone you just met in your home and I 100% respect that.

Highly recommended! Keira did daily morning visits for my 2 sphynx cats. I'd been very anxious about organising care, as they are my pride and joy, and I've never had someone outside of friends or family care for them. I felt at ease as soon as Keira came for a meet and greet, she clearly loves animals and has plenty of experience caring for a variety of little lives! And my 2 took to her straight away, which says a lot! She did a brilliant job of updating me daily with how they were getting on, including photos etc. I would absolutely use Keira's services again in the future. Thank you!

About: Hi, I’m Veena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I've had dogs my whole life, including caring for them through all stages from puppies to senior. I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have my own German Shepherd, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve also volunteered with the RSPCA, which has given me valuable experience handling and caring for dogs in different environments, including those that may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for dog care among my family and friends — whether it’s walking, feeding, or looking after their dogs while they’re away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer reliable, friendly, and attentive dog walking, and I’m happy to tailor walks to suit your dog’s needs, whether that’s a calm stroll or a more energetic outing. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease while your dog is in my care. Your dog will be treated like one of my own every step of the way 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. I can accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon walks, which are ideal for busy owners or dogs that need regular exercise and attention. I’m reliable and committed to keeping a consistent routine, and I’m happy to arrange regular weekly bookings or one-off visits depending on your needs. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. I always ensure dogs are secure on walks and tailor each walk to their individual needs, whether that’s a calm stroll or something more active. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and temperaments through lifelong ownership and RSPCA volunteering, and I take the time to build trust with every dog I care for. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while your dog is in my care. After each walk, dogs receive a natural treat as a little reward.

About: I grew up with a sweet little dog and a bunny, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. 🐶🐇 From feeding, walking, and playtime to making sure they felt safe and loved, I gained lots of hands-on experience from an early age. Over the years, I’ve continued to learn and improve, and now I’m always exploring professional ways to care for different kinds of animals. What sets me apart is my calm, patient personality and strong sense of responsibility — I always put pets’ comfort, happiness, and safety first. As a university student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care during the day and on weekends. I love being active and outdoors, so dog walks and playtime fit perfectly into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I can adjust to your pet’s needs and make sure they feel cared for at all times. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and every home as if it were mine. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions — so they feel safe and comfortable. For shy pets, I give them space and patience; for affectionate ones, I provide all the cuddles and attention they want. I also keep everything clean and tidy, and I love sending regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well looked after.

About: I have gained valuable hands-on experience acting as the primary caregiver for my brother’s dog. My responsibilities include house-sitting to keep the dog comfortable in his own environment, maintaining feeding routines, and ensuring he gets plenty of exercise through regular, energetic walks. I treat the home and the pet with the utmost respect and care. As a full-time Master's student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I am typically free and highly available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On those days, and outside of my primary study blocks, I can reliably commit 1 to 2 hours per day to spend with your pets, which can include walks, playtime, feeding, and focused attention. My studies often mean I am working from home, which provides additional flexibility throughout the week to check in on or spend short periods with the pets as needed. I provide dedicated pet care exclusively in the owner's home, where the pet feels safest and most comfortable. My commitment is to ensure a secure, trustworthy, and stimulating environment. I dedicate my time to being fully present, playing with the pet, and guaranteeing they receive the necessary exercise, including walks appropriate for their needs. Crucially, my care is always based on the owner's specific instructions; I will strictly adhere to all guidelines regarding feeding, medication, routines, and any special requirements, ensuring a stress-free experience for your pet.

My experience with Sophie looking after my cat Minnie was just amazing during our week away. Minnie is very fussy who she trusts to look after her but by the end of the week they were great friends. Brilliant daily communication which totally put my mind at ease knowing she was in such safe hands. 5 stars isn’t enough thank you Sophie.

Terrific care provided by Cassie for two shy & retiring elderly cats on complicated diets and four different watering holes who also needed medication. Nearly didn't go away because it's hard to imagine somebody else doing the job you do! Feedback and photos from each visit turned out to be really welcome & reassuring in the end, though I didn't think it important at the time of booking, as I've never had this before. Cassie worked hard on getting one of them in particular to thaw (hunt the cat was order of play at the start), in the end she was rolling on her back, allowing affection, showing how happy & relaxed she was with Cassie. A big thank you from us all. I would ask her again in future when away.

The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

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 occured. 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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Coventry 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.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

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!

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
