About: I have an extensive history of working with dogs. I have owned working therapy dogs and have been working at a dog sanctuary for the past 2 years, handling dogs from all walks of life and all sizes. Dogs give so much love voluntarily and deserve that back. I insist dogs are walked for a good few mikes daily unless medically incapable. I will ensure they are fed to your specification and will follow any behavioural instructions you may have in place to ensure continuity. I am open to any questions you may have or to alleviate any concerns you may have. I am freely available for any pet care needs all I ask is for the advanced notice stated. I also have to collect my son from school on a Wednesday and every other Friday so the dog would need to be ok for a short period of time alone. I have a gated garden and a big field and woods near by. I can crate your dog if required. I am flexible and will work around your needs. If boarding, then dog/cat would need to be dropped and collected from my property.

“Cannot thank Anya enough for helping take care of our two cats while we were away. They were very well cared for and we returned to two happy and content beans. Anya is warm, calm and professional and kept us well updated after each visit via a report card which really gave us peace of mind. We'd be more than happy to work with them again in the future.”
“Tasha did a fantastic job of looking after Panther & Rogue. She was updating me regularly; asked my preferences on different topics eg when the weather changed and got cold what temperature I preferred to have for my cats & how to change the heating; & sent videos & photos as per my requests. Would definitely recommend Tasha & choose her again. Xx”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and for over 10 years I’ve been caring for my own dogs as well as looking after pets for friends and family.

Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or simply enjoys cuddles, I’ll tailor my care to suit their individual needs and treat them as if they were my own. 🐾 I’m flexible and can often fit pet care around my day, whether that’s dog walking, drop-in visits or overnight pet sitting. I always make sure every dog gets the time, attention, exercise and companionship they need, while keeping to their normal routine as much as possible. 🏡 Your dog’s safety, happiness and routine will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, favourite walking routes or keeping up with training.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent.

“I would highly recommend Sabrina is lovely and I would rebook her again. She sent me daily updates on my cat .she sent me photos and videos to let me know how my cat socks was getting on while I was away for a week. Thank you so much for looking after socks”
“Magda has been an absolute gem these few days while i have been away, making sure my cats are fed and watered and looked after, but she made me feel like she was genuinely caring for them during her visits with pictures and videos, my little Jasper even took a little nap on her arm! He looked so comfortable, a little quality time. And that makes me happier than anything, the boys were very clearly comfortable and happy with her company, and that means the world. Would absolutely recommend Magda to friends and I definitely would love her to take care of them again if i'm away. Thank you <3”

Needed my three cats be looked after while I was away for two weeks. Judith went over and beyond to make the process go smoothly. I felt comfortable every step of the way, and got regular updates with pictures so I had no worries and was able to relax when away. My cats really liked her and had no issues whatsoever. She is very trust worthy and would 100% ask Judith to look after my cats again.
Tasha was great looking after our two cats. She sent updates after each visit with photos and videos so we knew they were doing well. Tasha won round our shy cat Nora, who came out of her hiding spot for strokes. We'd definitely recommend Tasha and would book her again.
Magda has been amazing! She has kept us informed after each visit by leaving photos and detailed reports, which were so lovely to see whilst we were away and missing our kitties. She took such great care of our two cats and showed genuine interest in them. She spent time with them, playing with them and cuddling them not just feeding and cleaning litter trays. We are so grateful and will definitely be asking Magda to look after our girls again. Thank you Magda!
It was my first time using Rover and directly found a great cat sitter, Claudine was very lovely and our cat felt comfortable with her right away. Despite a slight mishap with her car, she still managed to look after the cat and keep track of her visits. Ruby was very well fed and looked after, definitely will be booking Claudine again.

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.
