“Dishita did pop in visits whilst we were away on holiday. Dishita always made sure to provide updates and photos of Wilfred and we could tell from the updates he was very happy and content being in her company. We are very happy with our experience with Dishita and will definitely be rebooking again 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of various dogs and cats since I was a teenager (15 years), including growing up with labradors and have even boarded for my auntie’s St Bernard! I’m currently supply teaching and ad hoc wedding styling so fairly flexible with a lot of my work being booked on the day. Always more free during the week. I will treat all pets like my own and care for them in a way that is as normal for them as possible. Love different dog walks and at the owners discretion, happy to bring my own pup for a walk if your doggy would like that!!
About: I am a Surgeon Vet specialized in soft tissue surgery in dogs and cats. I have worked as a vet in my country for 13 years. I have a lot of experience caring dogs and cats in several Vet Hospitals during day or night. Also, I have had pets since I was a child. I really love having time with them. When I am with my furry friends, it is very important to me to keep an eye on them and guarantee their well-being. I have been living in The UK since July 2024. I came here to prepare my RCVS exam to be able to work as a Surgeon Vet here. So, I would like to meet your lovely furry! See you soon! I am flexible to spend time with yours pets. I am free all week except from Tuesday to Thursday from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm. Each pet during my live has been as a family member to me. I cared them with love and patience. I like they stay in the house and I don’t mind if they prefer sleep in their own bed or mine. It’s quite important they have enough toilet breaks during the day. My last dog was Eloise. She was the most unique dog that I had. Even when she was blind, she always wanted to play with her ball. She passed away around 2 years ago and I still remember her. She gave me a lot of love and happiness during almost 15 years. I always be grateful with her and she always will be in my heart.
“Fatima has been amazing. I have bad piece of mind like never before and been able to to unwind and enjoy Christmas with my family. Great check-ins has been both fun and reassuring and the service has been complete value for money for me”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including Border Terriers called Dodge and Annie. I have also had a cat called Tilly. I’m very comfortable caring for different types of animals. I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also have experience with dog walking through a family friend’s dog walking business, as well as walking and caring for dogs for family friends. My responsibilities include feeding pets, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient and always treat every pet as if they were my own. At the moment I’m waiting to start my new job, so I’m free most days. This means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. At the moment I don’t offer a service where pets stay in my home. However, when caring for pets in their owner’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while their owner is away, and I keep the home tidy and respectful during my stay.
“Absolutely brilliant, thankyou so much. While we was away our cat brought a live bird in our house. Joanne got rid of the bird and cleaned up after it. Sent us loads of photo and great updates on our cats. We would 100% book again. Thankyou again.”
“My cats absolutely loved her! One of them is usually very timid and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but he was surprisingly comfortable and even playful around her. It was clear that she has a natural connection with animals and made them feel safe and at ease. We were thoroughly impressed and very satisfied with her service. She went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and well cared for.”
“Chloe was fantastic and definetly will rebook in the future. Great communication throughout and care for our cats. One of our cats takes a lot of different medications and I felt at ease with Chloe looking after them. Thank you again, would definitely recommend.”
“Philippa hit it off straightaway with Gruff, my 10 week old Border Terrier. He can be lively but Philippa seemed comfortable and happy with him, and vice versa. Would thoroughly recommend 👍”
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds for the majority of the my teenage years, into adulthood. This has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of temperaments and makes me easily adaptable to being around different dogs, with confidence. I have had many dogs too - a Dalmatian, border collie, Labrador, pug, husky, and English pointer, only adding to my love for any breed of dog, big or small 🐶❤️ I’m able to fit sits in on specified days, depending on my other work commitments. I keep my calendar up to date with my latest availability for sits. I have a fenced, decent sized garden, a separate conservatory used as a ‘dog room’ with a sofa and lots of sunshine for the cooler months where my own dogs love to bask in the sun and relax. I have 3 friendly dogs too.
“We could tell from the minute we met Candi that she was a genuine person with a real love for animals which is exactly who you want looking after your pet whilst you're away! Our little cat Hugo was very content when we came back and it was so lovely receiving our daily updates and photos of our boy whilst we were away. Will absolutely be booking Candi again when we are next away!”
About: Let’s start with the crux, I adore dogs. I have grown up with dogs including a Greek rescue dog (he has some quirks, but we work with them and love him regardless!) I am also the proud parent of a wonderful rescue dog from Bosnia, called Ivy. For around 2 years I was a volunteer at Holbrook Animal Rescue centre, in which I gained experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. With this combined experience, I feel like I have mastered the art of dog play, scratches and fetch (even if sometimes it means doing most of the fetching). I am reliable, loving and committed to providing the best care possible for your dog. Please reach out if you have any questions 🐾 I am currently working full time (Mon-Weds 8-4, Thursday and Friday 9-5:30). This gives me availability in the evenings and on weekends. I am happy to accept bookings with a short notice period. In your home, I make sure to respect any rules and routines that have been set in place. It is your home, but it is also your dog’s home so I understand that a stranger could be unsettling for them. I will also research your area to locate walking areas and the emergency vets.
About: I've always had a dog at home, ever since I was a child. I am a lucky owner of two beautiful, friendly French Bulldogs. I have the experience in taking care of various breeds. Took care of Labradors, Westies, Basset Hounds, Toy Poodles, Pomeranians, Yorkie, Chihuahuas, Golden Retrievers, Cavaliers, Spanish Water and Cocker Spaniels, Staffies and many others. I'm used to different breeds and understand different temperaments, and have the patience to bond with all dogs of different shapes and sizes, adjusting to their personality to fit their needs and ensuring that their time spent with me is amazing. I live in a house with a big fenced garden, close to a big park. Therefore, your pet will never be starved of exercise or fresh air, in fact, it will probably be bored of so much playing! As I mentioned... I could live without people, but not without dogs. Also, I'm certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I work from home, with very flexible schedule hence always have time for a nice long walk. And I'm available for belly rubs all day long :D I have a big, fenced garden and two friendly French bulldogs who will keep your fur baby entertained. I make sure to feed dogs separately, so it doesn't create any tension between them.
About: I have looked after many of my friends and families pets, including dogs, cats, ferrets, iguanas, fish, rabbits. Whatever your pet or you require I will cater too I do daytime shift work, my days and hours vary, when making a booking i will inform you how many shifts i would be working and ask if your pet is ok to be left alone, it is then up to you if you happy to go forward or not. On working days i will ensure your pet is walked before and after work I no longer accept boarding bookings. I am happy to do house sitting, i will arrange a meet and greet beforehand to meet yourself and your pet to discuss everything
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have regularly been trusted by friends and neighbours to care for their pets, including feeding, walking and general day to day care. I have my own car, so I’m able to travel locally and further if needed. I also have a flexible work schedule with plenty of time off, which allows me to accommodate last minute bookings, work commitments, or care while you’re away on holiday. We live in a cosy ground floor apartment with large fields and parks just outside, perfect for plenty of safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor time. I have flexible work schedule and lots of time off, so can fit in looking after your dogs and random times/when you need to be at work or out/on your holidays! We live in a cosy ground floor apartment and just outside we have huge fields and parks where we can go on lots of walks together

Aime was absolutely wonderful! She took exceptional care of our cat, who clearly adored her. Her communication was outstanding throughout, with plenty of updates and photos after every visit, which gave us complete peace of mind. If I could, I would give her 10 stars—she truly deserves it. Highly recommended!
As someone who does not like to leave my girls with strangers, I was very nervous about a new pet sitter. Both my girls are not great with new people, so I was worried about going away. Julia kept me updated daily on their welfare, she kept their litter clean and their food bowls full :) Although one of my girls took all 13 days to get comfortable to come out, Julia managed to get the other one out and allowing her to pat her! I was able to fully relax and enjoy my break knowing my cats were in safe hands! Thank you so much Julia from all three of us! I will not hesitate to use Julia again when I need another sitter & both my girls agree 🐱🐱
Niki did a great job looking after our two cats whilst we were on holiday. Aswell as feeding and watering, she stayed to give them attention, including much appreciated brushing sessions. She was also kind enough to water our plants whilst we were away. All in all, we can thoroughly recommend Niki.
Hannah is an amazing catsitter! Gracie is initially wary of new people but Hannah really took her time to let Gracie get to know her at her own pace. They were great friends by the end of the visits. Hannah provided detailed updates and I arrived home to a very happy cat
Charlotte was amazing! She popped over to meet the cats before we left which was great so it wasnt a complete stranger that came in! Lots of updates how they were and they looked very happy! Would highly recommend as my cats were very happy when we got home when they can be quite moody, it shows how well they well they were looked after 😊
Shirley was so kind and caring to our one year cat who was unfortunately feeling a bit under the weather when Shirley came to visit her. Shirley was excellent at communicating to us and keeping us up to date with how our wee girl was, sending photos and videos. Would highly recommend.

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 Crawley 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 Crawley 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. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
