“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.”


“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❤️”


“Trouble free visits and sent some lovely photos of our dog getting some love while we were away. Daisy was Friendly and kept in touch. Even noted that dog hadn’t eaten much between visits to make sure this was normal which was but appreciate the care. Overall we felt much at ease knowing someone like daisy was visiting! Thanks a lot Daisy!”

About: I am a responsible and caring student who enjoys spending time with pets. I am patient, attentive, and willing to follow feeding, walking, and care instructions carefully. I am reliable, punctual, and comfortable helping with basic pet care and companionship. I am currently a student with a flexible schedule outside of classes. I am available on most weekdays and weekends for pet sitting, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I will make sure pets receive attention, care, and regular updates while in my care. I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable.

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.
About: I'm a work from home Personal Assistant who looks after their bosses animals. My love for dogs and cats started with my children's obsession with furry animals. I had a dog and cat as a child but never had the luxury of owning one, so this is the next best thing. I work from home so I am extremley flexible with times and days, both weekdays and weekends. I don't do set hours so timing isn't an issue around being outdoors. My house is animal proofed and I have a garden which is also securely fenced. Surrounding areas have plenty of greenery with endless walks and runs

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, from small breeds to much larger dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities and energy levels. I’m also very used to being around cats and understand that every pet has their own individual needs and routine. I’m a caring, responsible and patient person who genuinely loves animals and will make sure your pet feels happy, safe and well looked after. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles and companionship while you’re away. I work remotely 3 days a week (Mon-Fri), which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I’ll always be respectful, responsible and attentive. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if required and your pet’s usual routine.

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.
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.
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. Although I am new to pet sitting, I am responsible, patient, and eager to provide excellent care.

I understand how important it is to keep owners updated, so I will send regular photos and messages to give you peace of mind. I will treat your pet with kindness, care, and respect. I am available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and early mornings (6:00–8:00 AM) if needed. I will always make time to give your pet the attention, care, and exercise they need. I am reliable and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I provide pet care in the owner's home and during walks.

“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 professionally dog walking since 2018 and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities, including larger and stronger breeds. In 2020, I moved across the country and put dog walking aside while I built my own business Jingo Pets. Now that it’s established, I finally have the time to get back to dog walking, something I’ve really missed. I specialise in solo, on lead walks because I believe this is the safest and most personal way to care for your dog. One to one walks mean your dog gets my undivided attention, and I can tailor the walk entirely around them, whether they love exploring and sniffing, need a good energetic walk, or prefer a gentler pace. I treat every dog in my care as I would my own, with a huge amount of care, attention and protection. Safety is always my priority, while still making sure their walk is something they genuinely enjoy. You’ll also receive a photo and update afterwards, so you know how they got on. While your dog is with me, I look after them like they’re one of my own. I run my own local pet food business, which gives me the flexibility to fit dog walking naturally into my day. I deliberately keep my walking availability limited so I’m not rushing between lots of dogs. This allows me to offer a reliable, personal service and give every dog my full attention during their time with me. Your dog’s safety is my number one priority. I only offer solo walks, or walks for dogs from the same household, so they have my full attention throughout. Dogs remain safely on-lead and I’ll always follow your instructions around things like reactivity, triggers and routines. I’m also very security-conscious when entering and leaving your home. While your dog is in my care, I treat their safety exactly as I would my own dogs’.

About: I have loved animals and especially cats since i was around 5-6 years old. I would spend my pocket money on cat food for the strays i had taken in. I have been a cat parent for the last 30 years. After taking my current fur baby in from the streets i have developed an even deeper understanding of cats through trials and errors. I have now learnt to be even more patient and understand how difficult it is to find a really good cat sitter you can use regularly. Due to a cats nature and especially a nervous one like mine a routine and things being done the same way their owner/fur parent would do them is of huge importance for their health and wellbeing. This is why i have decided to sign myself up in the hope i can be of service to like minded fur parents and save their fur babies from any undue stress.

About: Howdy ! My name is Leighanne and I absolutely adore cats (i wouldn't be on here if i didn't 😹) I'm 19 but don't let my age fool you. I have experience with looking after cats (bathing, feeding, giving medication) and I am a very responsible person in general. So, if you choose me to take care of your furry friends, I would be so honoured <3
“The most important thing is that my cat liked Beatrice, which meant she responded well to Beatrice, ate her food and took her meds. Beatrice took my parcels in, put the bins out and gave her cuddles. Thank you Beatrice, it’s a weight off my mind to have someone I can rely on.”
“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!”

About: For years I have helped many friends look after their dogs, ranging from small senior Cocker Spaniels to energetic Beagles. I have helped friends by staying over with their dogs or walking them daily, some friends have had dogs with very special needs due to their age which I have no problems dealing with and making sure they are as safe as they can be. I will ensure the dogs get the food they require to make sure their diet is properly followed. I'm currently working part-time at a public park with a farm onsite meaning that I have plenty of time to help look after your lovely dogs. I am available all times of the day and have no issues following a routine that some particular dogs may have so not to disturb them and stress them out. Whilst caring for your animals at your home I will follow any additional needs that you ask of me when it comes to your pet or your home.I will happily give out any medication that is needed/required to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I have an animal first aid qualification and many years experience of caring for animals that have been injured, when out with your pets I will make sure they are safe.

About: I have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management where I achieved the highest possible grade of triple Distinction*. This diploma gave me two years of experience caring for and training all types of animals. I also have work experience in various dog groomers, doggy daycare, a vet practice, and city farms. I also volunteer at university as a dog walker for elderly/disabled people. I've had both dogs and cats for my whole life and care greatly about their welfare! I am also studying bioveterinary science at university where I have done projects focusing on animal welfare. I am currently a student who is on summer break until October with no prior commitments so have plenty of free time to care for, play with, and walk your pets!

We had a great experience with Zahra. She took excellent care of Momo, followed all her routines, and sent regular updates with pictures that gave us real peace of mind. Momo quickly got used to her, which says a lot as she's usually a little shy at first. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

Teodora is always great and I can recommend her having used her previously to look after my cat. She is professional and reliable and very good with my cat amd I know I can be assured that my cat is in good hands when Teodora is looking after her. Thanks Teodora

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.

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!!
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

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.
