About: I have not had any formal experience, have owned pets my entire life growing up, i occasionally take care of family/ friends pets when needed, I am a fulltime uni student, i am available weekends and during half terms/ holidays, during these free times i am usually available all day I am very experienced with naughty doggy’s so nothing is a challenge, i put the safety of the pet first and their needs first always.

About: I'm an active, outdoorsy person who genuinely loves being around dogs. I take your dog's exercise seriously: proper walks, real time outside, and plenty of stimulation. My hands-on experience comes from regularly walking and caring for two very different dogs — a Staffordshire Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I’m currently working from home with good flexibility. I can work around the schedule for helping out. Weekends should be free in the day too. My flat is a cosy, well-kept one-bedroom on an upper floor — no balcony or outdoor space, but we’re just a 5-minute walk from a park, so dogs get outside plenty. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the flat, which is worth knowing for smaller or older dogs.

“Steve was very reliable, punctual and did a great job. There was a situation where we were watching our cat on camera without any food left and looking for food. I messaged Steve and to my surprise he was over not long after that which was very early in the morning. This meant the world to us and shows how kind hearted he is❤️”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. It was their first time with this sitter, and they absolutely loved her — and so did I. She was gentle, patient, and instantly made them feel safe and relaxed. I came home to calm, happy cats, and that tells me everything. I highly recommend Samantha and will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve had 2 dogs with my family for more than 10 years and have taken care of them both. I can follow instructions easily and have experience in giving prescribed medications to dogs due to one of ours taking medication for most of his doggy life. I currently work 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home and off on weekends. I can care for your pet on the days I’m off and working from home easily. I’m comfortable with whatever the owner need and want for their pets as long as instructions are communicated. I own a car and can travel to places if needed.
“Josh was fantastic. He was professional, thoughtful, and a great communicator. He spent quality time with our cat, who is usually very picky and nervous, yet she warmed to him quickly, which really put my mind at ease.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs regularly for the past 3 years, mostly looking after two senior dogs for one friend and a young puppy for another. This has given me experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from gentle senior care to playful puppy stages. From age 15 I cared for dogs within my family, supporting with walks, feeding, and keeping them settled while owners were away. In addition, I‘ve cared for my family kitten, and as an indoor cat, he required consistent feeding, litter care, playtime, and a calm presence, something I’m very comfortable providing. Working from home, enables me to give consistent attention throughout the day and always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Every dog or cat in my care is treated with patience, attentiveness, and love. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, companionship and regular walks or drop-ins throughout the day. I’m flexible during weekdays and available most weekends, making it easy to fit pet care naturally into my routine. When caring for dogs or cats in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions provided. I ensure doors and gates are always secured, keep environments tidy and safe. If crate training is part of their routine, I’m comfortable supporting that in a gentle and positive way. My focus is always on providing a safe, consistent, and loving environment while you’re away.

About: I've always loved dogs and have hands-on experience caring for two French Bulldogs. Although they have now are back home to my family, caring for them taught me a lot about daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and love they need. I'm reliable, patient, and currently have a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of care and companionship for your pet. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll treat your dog like one of my own. I live in a pet-friendly area with great places for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors. Your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. I am home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I treat every pet with kindness and patience and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of cats and dogs, including tabby cats, British Shorthairs, and Sphynx cats. I have also looked after many different dog breeds and have grown up around animals, having owned Rottweilers and a Poodle, and I currently care for my Shih Tzu and two tabby cats. I am very confident handling pets of different personalities and needs, including dogs with separation anxiety. I genuinely enjoy working with animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My aim is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are in safe and loving hands at all times. I am a full-time SEN secondary teacher, however I spend my spare time (after 15:00) caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I have a strong passion for animals and really enjoy providing them with attentive, reliable care outside of my working hours. I am also available throughout all school term holidays, so if you are looking for a full-time pet sitter during these periods, please feel free to get in touch. In addition, I am open to last-minute weekend bookings where possible. With owner permission, I also love taking dogs out for enriching walks to places such as local parks or forests to ensure they are happy, stimulated, and enjoying their time while in my care. I have a fenced garden with plenty of space for pets to safely roam and enjoy themselves. I also have a female, friendly Shih Tzu named Paris, who is very sociable with other dogs and is also comfortable around cats, as she has lived alongside my two tabby cats. My cats are generally independent and often spend time outdoors in the neighbourhood or relaxing in their own space indoors, so visiting pets are able to have a calm and low-stress environment. I always ensure any pets in my care are introduced slowly and safely where needed, and I prioritise their comfort and wellbeing at all times.
About: Since a child I’ve had all kind of pets from fishes, hamsters, birds and rabbits to raising kittens and a puppy. I’ve also had the pleasure of helping out friends and family. There weren’t many years where I did not have an animal in my life!! I am currently working full time, however weekends at anytime and any work day after 5pm I’m capable of pet care, though I can make adjustments if needed as I work from home. As I will be doing mostly walks and sitting at owners home I will ask how your fur baby likes their company and how to best create safety for them.
About: I’ve always been around dogs whether that is puppies or fully grown and grew up with dogs of various breeds and sizes. Frenchies, balmastiffs, XL bullies, the lot! I do have a full time job, however I do have some flexibility depending on my shifts evenings/mornings. I am fully available on the weekends to be able to go for walkies and play days with your doggie. I have a good sized fenced garden and a lovable, playful dog to keep yours company with plenty of toys to go around. I can accommodate to your dogs usual routine of morning/evening walks and feedings- what ever will make them happiest.
About: Growing up I have cared for my own pets, neighbours pets, dont shy away from the muck work, grooming and other pet requirements. Will care to your extended family member as if they were my own. I am quite confident with different animals having cared. Love and care with deep genuine attention to the extended family member and will give you some trusted peace of mind that you have left your cared one in safe kind hands. I work full time and have alternative Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends off. Therefore I am flexible in how I can help you out. Cat/dog overnight homeowner stays, happy to house your cat for an overnight stay (wouldn't be fair to a dog to come and stay in my flat as I wouldn't be able to care for it throughout the day unless it's a one night or over night weekend stay when I am off. As I'd be able to take out on walks- have two beautiful greenspaces to chose from for long or short walks. I live in a flat with a balcony, I would be happy to house cats, smaller pets in their cage/tank throughout the week, but would have smaller availability for small dogs/medium dogs, due to full time work and I wouldn't be comfortable leaving them in a confined space without the care and attention they would require.
“Laura was excellent, she was great in communicating with us and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well cared for during her drop ins. She exceeded our expectations and then some. She also took initiative to learn his routines to help him with his seperation anxiety while we left him alone for thre first time at length. Would highly recommend and use again!”

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. It was their first time with this sitter, and they absolutely loved her — and so did I. She was gentle, patient, and instantly made them feel safe and relaxed. I came home to calm, happy cats, and that tells me everything. I highly recommend Samantha and will definitely book again.

Karlee was the best choice for our two male cats, Kimbo and Meeps. It was delightful to return home to very happy and looked after cats. I received regular notes and pictures from Karlee after every visit, which was very helpful and reassuring. Even Kimbo the Maine Coon was won over by her. I recommend Karlee, and would like to rebook her in the future.

Susan is so caring with my elderly cat, he is relaxed with her, she is very professional, friendly and organised, Susan askes if any health issues ect with my cat. Organising collecting and dropping off keys as well as keeping me updated, I received messages and video after visiting which is reassuring whilst I am away he is always calm and contented when I return home thankyou Susan!!
We can't recommend Teodora highly enough! She took wonderful care of Moony while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout - she kept us updated and sent loads of adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Moony had a great time, especially playing with Teodora's little one. When we got back, Moony was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We could tell our pet had been in caring, attentive hands the whole time. Thank you, Teodora - we'll definitely be booking you again!

Ana is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants true peace of mind while they’re away. Her communication was brilliant from start to finish, and I loved receiving her daily updates and photos — they were thoughtful, detailed, and showed just how well she cared for my cat Winston. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and my cat was relaxed, happy, and so well looked after. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you!

Owen delivered a fantastic drop in service to my dogs. Extremely hot weather and Owen adapted the plan to make sure my dogs were fed and watered to support them during the heatwave. On time and gave great updates about my dogs. Would highly recommend him and will be using him again without doubt. My mind was at peace knowing my dogs were in good hands.Thank you Owen

I booked Adina last minute to take care of my cat Archie on a bank holiday weekend when my other cat sitter cancelled last weekend. Adina was able to squeeze me in. Adina took very good care of Archie, and I was reassured by her prompt communication and care that Archie was well taken care of over the weekend. Archie had just been recently rehomed to me and this was the first time that I had left him overnight and with a sitter, so I was initially nervous but that soon melted away with the photos and videos Adina sent me. I would recommend Adina to anyone.

Katie did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Jessica Fletcher. She sent me updates every day and it was clear that Jess was happy to see her and took an instant liking to her. I came home to a happy cat, and a tidy house. Katie was super reliable, trustworthy and gave me absolute peace of mind whilst I was away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and I will be booking her again without hesitation.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm.
