About: I grew up with dogs and cats, each with their own personalities, quirks, and needs. Being around animals from such a young age has given me natural confidence with different temperaments, from calm and gentle to energetic and cheeky. When I moved out of my family home (many years ago), I had my own cats, Sade and Mercedes, who lived to 19 and 20 years. Now I am a mum to Bubbles, our 20‑month‑old Huskador (Siberian Husky x Labradoodle). Living with a high‑energy, intelligent breed means I’m used to long walks, mental stimulation, routine, boundaries and plenty of affection. I understand what dogs and cats need to feel safe, happy and settled. With my lifelong experience, I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I treat every dog and cat with the same love, patience and care I give to Bubbles. I am available for dog walks and drop-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I work around your dog's usual routine to keep things consistent and comfortable. I plan walks and visits around school runs and family commitments, so your dog always gets reliable care and attention. If you have specific times or routines you would like me to follow, just let me know, and I will happily accommodate. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, loving and structured environment. I grew up with Labradors and now have a 20‑month‑old Huskador, Bubbles, so I am confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities. We have a fully fenced garden where Bubbles can safely explore, play and get fresh air. I supervise outdoor time and tailor walks, play, and downtime to your dog’s routine and energy levels. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I keep things consistent and familiar for your dog. I follow your usual routine closely, including feeding, walks, training cues, and any special requirements so your dog or cat feels secure and settled in their own environment. I respect your home and ensure your dog receives calm, reliable care. I treat every dog with patience, kindness and the same level of care I give to Bubbles. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. I

About: My 5 years of experience caring for dogs and my genuine love for making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I always take the time to get to know them and provide personalised care. I’m patient and attentive with young dogs and puppies, and I’m equally comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra reassurance, or more frequent breaks. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training and good walking manners using positive, reward-based techniques. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply having some company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your dog is in safe, caring hands while you’re away I work as a nurse during the week, so I’m mostly available on weekends and can provide flexible, loving, kind and reliable pet care to fit their needs. I have had dogs all my life and currently have a Cane Corso of my own, so caring for dogs is a huge part of my everyday life. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own pets. I always go above and beyond to make sure the dogs in my care feel happy, safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs, whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone around. I’m responsible, attentive, and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. My priority is to give your pet the care and affection they deserve while giving you peace of mind that they’re in safe and loving hands.

I'm happy to spend plenty of time with your pets, whether that's walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping them company. I'm happy to care for your pooch in the comfort of their own home, doing this i believe it will keep them in their usual routine and surroundings.

About: I’ve been working at a dog rescue for the past five years, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to nervous or reactive dogs, and I always prioritise their safety, wellbeing and individual needs. Reactive dogs have a special place in my heart, and I love taking the time to build trust, understand their behaviour, and help them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work at a dog rescue Monday to Friday from 9am–1pm, as well as the occasional pub shift, so my availability can vary. If you’re looking to book a walk or drop-in visit, feel free to send me a message with the dates and times you need, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate you. I’m happy to be as flexible as possible! I know every dog is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine and what makes them happiest. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company during a drop-in visit, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and in safe hands. 🐾

Lucy was absolutely lovely with our puppy, Ember! She came to visit and made us feel completely at ease knowing Ember was in such caring hands. Lucy was friendly, reliable and clearly great with dogs. Ember had a great time with her, and we’d happily recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker or sitter.

He has a wonderfully easy-going temperament and is gentle, friendly and kind-natured. If your doggy enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to play, they’ll happily have a little playmate when they’re here too. 🐶🐾 Whether your fur-baby loves being out on long walks, playing all day or simply curling up for a cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed and cared for as if they were our own I’ll also send you regular photos, videos and updates, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your baby is happy, loved and in good hands. 🐶💕 I’m also fully insured and pet first aid trained, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe and caring hands. 🐾❤️ My schedule is currently very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your dog lots of attention and company.

About: I love animals but since I can’t have them full time I compensate it by cat sitting for friend and neighbours. I don’t force an animal to anything and take time to for the cat/dog to get used to it and build my connection. I follow the owner instruction to a T and make sure the place is kept clean. I work full time therefore I won’t be able to accept it all the assignments but I do make it work so far with friends. I usually take care of the pets in their own home not to give them more stress. I tent to stay in their house and also keep an eye on the premises.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so caring for pets has always been something I genuinely love and enjoy. I currently have a Jack Russell called Dexter who is full of energy and needs lots of attention. I’m used to taking him on regular walks, keeping him active and entertained, playing with him throughout the day and making sure he gets plenty of exercise and stimulation. Caring for a high-energy dog has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive and adaptable to each dog’s individual needs. Furthermore, I trained Dexter from when he was a puppy up until he “graduated” from the course and now 7 years later he is still following instructions from everyone in the family as well as my friends who come over and meet him. I also have experience with caring for puppies and older dogs from pet sitting family pets I also had a Norwegian Forest Cat before Dexter, who I absolutely loved caring for. I was very involved in looking after him and he became very attached to me, I loved having a cat around, from spending time playing and giving them attention to simply keeping them company. I’ve also cared for family members’ dogs for periods of up to 10–14 days on at least five different occasions, taking responsibility for their everyday routines, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime and companionship. Being around animals of all different sizes and personalities from a young age has given me a genuine love for animals and confidence in caring for them. I am currently in my summer holidays waiting to go off to university at the start of October, meaning i’ve got a lot of free time on my hands especially in September, I am free anytime and happy to work around customer schedules, I have lots of experience with all different types of pets and i’m not put off by much. When i do go off for uni i’ll be located in Brighton but still back often especially in summer holidays where families tend to go away. Regardless I'm a short drive away from my house and happy to pop back home to help owners when needed I am unable to take care of pets in my own home as my dog does have anxiety and doesn’t get on with all pets, so there’s no way to know who he will get on with, but i’m happy to offer pet sitting in the owners home, as well as lots of fun walks, play dates and popping in to check on pets where needed. I do drive so it’s not a haste to pop by serval times a day when not spending the night

About: Friends, neighbours and family have all counted on me to look after their pets. I have bathed, walked, pet sat, fed the pets that I have cared for. The care I have provided includes dog-walking. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have plenty of free time to burn and have a blast with your cute pets! I am available in the morning & afternoon, but I'm flexible and can accommodate mornings and evenings too. If they have any specific needs/anything that I need to be aware about e.g. doesn't like traffic, other dogs etc. Also if you have any specific rules for your dog such as not being allowed on furniture or no treats during the day.

Rossy was an excellent car sitter. Highly responsive and incredibly friendly and polite and very trustworthy. She took excellent care of my lovely cat when I was on holiday for a week and I came home to a very content and happy cat. She really went the extra mile to take good care of him and to put mind at rest. I will definitely be booking her again!

About: I’m a true animal lover who grew up with beagles, and have house sat for all kinds of dogs and cats, so I understand first-hand that every animal has their own personality, quirks and needs. Some of my pets have been challenging at times, but they’ve taught me how important patience, understanding and building trust can be. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from huge Great Danes and energetic Huskies to Pitbulls, Staffies, Golden Retrievers, tiny 16-week-old puppies and cheeky rescue Beagles with a serious eye for picnics! I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, parrots, Guinea pigs, chickens, horses and a host of other animals, and I’m happy adapting to each pet’s individual routine. For the past few years I’ve been regularly house sitting through another platform, so while I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to house sitting or caring for animals. I’m responsible, tidy and respectful of people’s homes, and I understand how important it is to leave your home safe and cared for as well as keeping your pet happy. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication, extra patience, cuddles or simply someone to stick closely to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved and well cared for while you’re away in their own space. P.s I’m also happy to take on longer house sits, including extended stays over the Christmas and New Year period. I’m flexible with dates and would be happy to discuss longer bookings with owners. I’m an actress and freelancer, which gives me a very flexible, home-based schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. As an actress, auditions are now generally self-tape auditions, meaning I can film from home and don’t need to leave the house for auditions. If I do book acting work, I typically have weeks or even months of notice, allowing me to plan carefully around any pet-care commitments. Alongside acting, I tutor GCSE English Literature, Maths and Science over Zoom, and I also upcycle and resell clothes, all of which I can do from home and schedule flexibly. This means I can work my day around a pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine. I’m able to adjust my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, walks, company and care they need, and I’m very conscious that some animals are happiest when their normal routine is maintained. I particularly love house sitting because I can genuinely be present and make a pet feel like they have someone around while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for them. I follow their normal routine as closely as I can, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication and bedtime routines. I know that being in their own home can be especially comforting for pets while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of the home I’m staying in. I’m tidy, clean up after myself and the pets, and treat every home with the same care and respect I would give my own. I’m mindful of things like keeping doors and gates secure, following any house instructions carefully and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I’m happy to spend lots of time with pets throughout the day, and I’ll adapt to their individual personality, whether they’re energetic and want lots of walks and play, elderly and need a slower pace, nervous and need patience, or independent and simply want someone nearby. I also like to keep owners reassured while they’re away, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, settled pet and a home that has been looked after just as carefully as they would have looked after it themselves. 🐾

About: What sets me apart is my ability to balance structured care with plenty of love and playtime. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and understood, whether that means high-energy walks for active dogs or cozy snuggles for older ones. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, treating every pet as if they were my own. Currently I'm fully flexible for the foreseeable future ~ if not than my Wife os happy to accommodate/take over. Mon through to Sunday, any hours, just liase with me and I'll do my best to meet your needs. I am on the ground floor of an apartment complex situated near Greenhithe Station/Ingress Park. An outdoor sealed off balcony, safe for Dogs & I would say Cat's but they have no boundaries 😂 With plenty of outdoor and walking space.

Miglena is a very warm, friendly person. Meeting her on our Meet & Greet, she immediately put me at ease about leaving my baby in her care. She couldn't wait to meet Shah Shah and was very attentive to the instructions I gave her for Shah Shah's care. I would absolutely rely on Miglena to look after my animals any day of the week! I highly recommend her 👌🏻

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!

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. 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 .

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dartford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
