“I couldn't have been happier leaving Archie with Joanne 😃 A pre meet a few weeks before we went on hols and I knew he'd be happy. Great communuication and updates. Archie had a restless 1st night and took a day to settle in - Joanne was great at checking in with me just to check normal for Archie (it was!) and keeping me up to date while we were away. He was very well looked after and wld recommend Joanne 130%!! I wouldn't hesitate to book again”
“My dog - Amber stayed with Jack and his wife for 8 nights. They both took great care of her and I could tell from all the photos that she enjoyed staying with them. Jack was excellent at keeping in touch each day and he sent so many excellent photos. Amber is an elderly dog and Jack was very organised and responsible with her medication. Amber is incontinent and Jack gave her excellent care and kept her dry and clean. I would recommend Jack very highly to anyone looking for excellent and caring boarding.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have my 10 year old Maltese boy, Tucker. I’m not in a position to get a second dog, but would love to help others all whilst Tucker makes some new friends! I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday, so your doggo would have access to me 24/7. I have my own dog, Tucker, a pure-bred Maltese, who would love to make some friends along the way! I live in a one-bedroom flat, and have easy access to outdoor space. Similarly, I can walk ten minutes to reach my local park, so walkies are easy :)
“Lina is very easy going and took very good care of my cocker spaniel. We had regular updates and photos from her. She has toys and treats for her furry guests and my boy looked happy when I picked him up. What more could I want? Thank you, Lina.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and have a beautiful frenchie of my own called Hugo. I’ve always been around dogs of all ages from a young age. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home for the majority of the week and if I’m needed in office my days are flexible so I can accommodate different days each week. I have a fully enclosed garden that the dogs can run around in and have fun. We have cameras set up as well for extra security. We have multiple dog beds and can get something specific if required.
“Louise was communicative and friendly. Ludo can be a little anxious on initial introductions but he seemed to settle quickly in her care. Thank you Louise and we would love to use your care again.”
“We have just picked up two happy doggies after Rosa and Igor kindly looked after them for us day and over night. We couldn’t be more happier with the service. Nothing was too much trouble and they have been a pleasure to deal with. We also received updates of pictures throughout the day which was lovely. We will definitely be using Rosa and Igor again! 100% highly recommended.”
“Natalia was great looking after our Labradoodle for the day! We received videos and pictures whilst we were out for the day and Moose loved it. We will certainly use her again. Thank you!”
“Diana was amazing and provided great care for our French Bulldog Milo. We had a heatwave whilst Milo was staying and Diana made sure he stayed cool and safe. Milo absolutely loved his stay and im sure he would love to spend more time with Diana in the future. Would highly recommend”
“We couldn't have asked for better dog sitters! Lenia and Konstantina looked after Pelos for 10 days, and from the very beginning they went above and beyond. They kindly offered to meet him three times before his stay so he could get to know them as he is an anxious dog, which made such a difference and really put our minds at ease. Pelos loved them, and it was clear he was comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We received regular updates and we are so grateful for the care they showed him. We will absolutely book with them again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for trustworthy and genuinely caring dog sitters.”
“Megan is a beautiful person and was absolutely wonderful and extremely patient and confident with my little old boy, Who is a rescue from BDH. We had a meet and greet and she was brilliant putting Uno and myself at ease. Megan has a lot of love and experience with dogs, as she has had her own for many years. She has a great understanding of what the dogs needs are. Uno takes medication and she was such a professional given him his tablets and she also has an understanding of dogs that have medical needs. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, caring, intuitive, responsible, patient, caring, intuitive, responsible dog sitter. When I dropped him off, Megan already had a bowl of water ready for him. She was so welcoming and with all of my boys special needs and quirks, Megan took them all in, she was not phased at all with him. Uno has separation anxiety and Megan was able to settle him down after I left, and then within a few hours they became buddies. Megan is a very loving , peaceful, caring person and loved Uno. She took the time to get to know him and quickly understood his needs and queues for what he wanted. This is very needed for my boy to get to know him. He was with Megan for a day and I also booked for uno to go for a 4 night holiday stay with her, He loved it! He got lots of cuddles and loving and was resting together in the same room. He loves a peaceful environment and that's what he got being with her. Megan communicate with you on a regular basis. Thank you Megan for taking such good care of my boy and keeping me updated with photos and texts. I would 100% recommend Megan for your pet babies.”

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.
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.

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 .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
