“Savannah was absolutely wonderful with Theodore! It was short notice but she was so patient in taking the time to understand exactly how I like him looked after. She sent regular updates throughout which gave me such peace of mind, and you could genuinely tell how much she cares. She was gentle, kind and loving with him — exactly what you want for your fur baby. Highly recommend Savannah and would definitely book again! 🐾”
“John-Rob is an excellent dog carer. Our cocker spaniel Toffee has stayed with him twice and she gets the best care with John-Rob. He takes her for long walks and keeps us updated regularly with photos and comments on how she is doing. We highly recommend John-Rob!”
“Another great overnight stay with Padure. Our 11 yr old was relaxed and happy to be there. We received pics and update. Would definitely recommend and will be booking up again for sure.”
“Diana was delightful, as usual. Caring, kind and communicative during Toto's stay. Toto knows which is Diana's front door now, so when I dropped him off he led me in - always a good sign ! Thank you Diana for allowing me to take a holiday worry free. I hope to see you again soon.”
“Ruta is amazing! We met before to make sure she knew all of my dogs needs and asked lots of questions to make sure she provided the best care. During the stay, I received lots of videos and photos as well as detailed messages. I couldn’t recommend Ruta highly enough”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for them both personally and for others. I had my own dog for several years and have also looked after dogs for friends, family and other people. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing with and giving dogs plenty of attention and care. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while they’re in my care. I’m at home full-time with my child, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and company throughout the day. I can provide boarding in my home and will make sure your dog has regular playtime, attention and a comfortable routine while you’re away. I provide a calm, caring and safe home environment for dogs staying with me. I have experience caring for dogs and will always follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide. I also have a child at home, so I’m happy to discuss your dog’s temperament and needs beforehand to make sure they’re comfortable and settled in our home.
“Nicola and her partner provided excellent care for Scamper. He had plenty of outdoor space to run around, fans and cold water to keep him cool in the heat, and the overall environment was lovely. Highly recommended”
“Recently moved to Purley and needed someone to take care of our cocker whilst I went into work for the day and Aneeka came to our rescue. Shivam absolutely loved his time with her. He cried when we left which he does very rarely with only people he likes a lot!”
“Nicholas and his partner took great care of Romeo during an extended period of time, including taking him with them on family holiday and making sure he gets along with their dog - Choko. We are extremely satisfied with their service!”
“Sybilla and her family were fantastic. They were able to accommodate Kevin on short notice, which I really appreciated. Kevin clearly loved his stay and looked so happy in all the photos Sybilla sent through. She kept me updated during his time there, which was great for peace of mind. Kevin came home relaxed and chilled out, which really says it all. I’d happily have him stay with Sybilla agai”
“Jenny did a great job looking after Pippin the Cockerpoo. He is quite shy and nervous but seemed very comfortable staying with Jenny. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“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!”
“Really good experience with Patrycja. She is very friendly, trustworthy, responsible and reliable. Regular updates and photos. Our dog Penny clearly had a good overnight stay at her place and it was clear our beloved pet was in safe hands.”
“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.”
“Pebbles had a wonderful time with a really lovely family. They made us feel immediately at ease and kind enough to take our last minute booking. Pebbles has already told me he can’t wait to go back! 🤩”
About: I’m retired, I have plenty of time on my hands and have lots of experience in dog walking, house sitting, I used to run a dog kennel in Portugal and loved spending time with all sorts of fury friends!

Natalia and Alex were fantastic with Maya. We received regular updates throughout her stay, along with plenty of photos and videos, and Maya always looked like she was having a wonderful time and being really well looked after. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I’d highly recommend Natalia and Alex to other dog owners, and we’ll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you both for taking such good care of Maya!
What can I say, other than I am always happy and relaxed when any of my dogs are left with Amelia, I know she will be looking after them very well. Amelia had my 15yr old jack russel Pajoe. As I didnt want to put him in kennels. He was in a very loving and caring home, and treated like he was Amelia's dog. Amelia kept me updated. I would always use Amelia if she is available.
Alicia did a meet and greet before accepting the booking to see if it worked for Calli and her…. Which it did thankfully. Alicia was very good with Calli and sent pictures of Calli during her stay and Calli seemed like she had a lovely time. I will definitely be using Alicia again when I need someone to look after Calli. Thanks again Alicia
Shannon was great with Archie. She sent us lots of photos and updates, which was really reassuring, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She did a brilliant job keeping Archie busy, entertained and well exercised while he was with her. He seemed really happy and well looked after. We’d definitely be happy to have Shannon look after him again!
Hudson has a lovely time with Lauren. She considered his needs even lifting him into the chair! She provided him with adventures and new games. She provided lots of updates which were great to see, as this was the first time he had stayed with her. He was very comfortable and happy when I went to pick him up. She provides a lovely, warm and caring environment and Hudson will definitely be back!
I had to book my appointment very last minute so I highly appreciate Mina being so accommodating to my situation! She was very understanding and helpful, and made sure Cleo was looked after. Communication was great, and I’m positive Cleo had the best time with Mina! Would highly recommend!
Ross and Lucy were wonderful dog sitters. They took care of our 3 year old Cocker Spaniel and went to lots of effort to make sure he was stimulated and had exciting walks. He felt right at home with them and settled in straight away. They know exactly what they are doing with dogs and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appriciated. We returned home to a very happy dog and would love to use them again.
I honestly can’t recommend Keegan enough! Looking after 95kg worth of rescue dogs, split between a 14 month old Rottweiler and a 3 year old AmStaff, is no easy task! especially when they both have their own individual personalities and quirks. Communication throughout was amazing. We received regular photos and videos, which completely put our minds at ease and meant we could properly relax and enjoy our holiday knowing the dogs were happy and being well looked after. They’ve come home happy, well fed and absolutely shattered, which is probably the best review they could give! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keegan to anyone, regardless of your dog’s breed, size, individual quirks or specific requirements. Thanks again for taking such great care of them!
I left my dog with Maria for 1 day (and night) and It looks like Oatis got plenty of play time and one to one attention. Maria was very communicative and sent me updates throughout the day. I can highly recommend her and will be happy to leave my dog with her again!
Emily was fantastic, thank you so so much, accepted my request super last minute, then did everything & more for my dogs, communication was top tier and just a great and honest person to deal with, great all round and will definitely will use emily again and would 100% recommend !
Savannah was absolutely wonderful with Theodore! It was short notice but she was so patient in taking the time to understand exactly how I like him looked after. She sent regular updates throughout which gave me such peace of mind, and you could genuinely tell how much she cares. She was gentle, kind and loving with him — exactly what you want for your fur baby. Highly recommend Savannah and would definitely book again! 🐾
Tamara looked after my dog, Bing, for a week while I was abroad, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She kept me updated regularly with lovely photos, which was so reassuring and showed me how well Bing had settled in and how happy and comfortable she was. Being away from your dog can be worrying, but Tamara gave me complete peace of mind knowing Bing was being so well cared for. She was kind, attentive, and kept me updated throughout her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Tamara again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog. Thank you so much, Tamara! 🐾❤️
Carole deserves more than 5 stars. I would give her 10 stars if I could. She is a fantastic dogsitter - calm, kind, trustworthy and professional. Our 12 year old sproodle, had never been away from home and I was very concerned about leaving her, even for a short time. However, I needn't have worried because Floss absolutely thrived under Carole's care. We received regular text and photo updates while we were away which were much appreciated. When the time came to collect her, Floss even gave us the impression that she was in no hurry to come home. I would not hesitate to book with Carole again and I heartily recommend her services, particularly to those dog owners who are looking for a sitter who is skilled in caring for older, slightly nervous dogs.
Natalie was absolutely brilliant looking after our dog, Coco. Unfortunately Coco had a bit of an upset stomach while we were away, but Natalie handled it incredibly well and kept us updated throughout. She was so empathetic, kind and genuinely caring with her, which gave us real peace of mind. You can tell she really loves dogs and treats them as if they were her own. Just an all-round lovely person and a fantastic dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or have her look after Coco again!

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.

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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
