“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.”
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. 🐾
“From start to finish Hanna has been wonderful, friendly, quick responses & attentive to my preferences while I was away. She did a fantastic job of caring for my x2 kitties, who are quite scared normally. Thank you Hanna 💜”
“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”

I have undergone a puppy training course at my university. I have experience working with any size dog and whether they are anxious or playful I promise your pets will have a wonderful time. I am at university during term time. And as long as I'm not in my lectures I am more than happy to help take care of your pets,.

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.
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.
About: I have experience of dogs for more than 20 yrs. I have my own pet dog who I have cared for last 4 years. Love dogs. I work from home. So the dog stays close to me 24 hours.

I have a fenced garden and outdoor field for dogs to run around. The house is fully air-conditioned to help fur babies stay cool in summer. I do also occasionally put doggy splash mat for them to play during summer days. Your pet will have a pawerfet holiday while you are away.
“Kirsten was amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with her & Muddy loved the company. Kirsten kept in contact through the visit and sent us lots of pictures to update us. We’re so grateful for the last min help. Thank you Kirsten :)”
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. I’m the proud owner of a French Bulldog, and having had other dogs over the years, I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet. I love getting outdoors for walks, giving dogs plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. 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. I’m calm, patient and reliable, and I’ll care for your dog the way I’d want someone to care for mine. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe and caring hands.
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.
“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”
“Lena has been amazing, reliable and caring. I had no worries at all and she kept me informed with pictures. I would highly recommend for trusted, kind and outstanding care for your pet. Thank you!”
About: I offer loving, experienced dog boarding in a safe and comfortable home environment. I’ve had two dogs of my own and have cared for many other dogs over the years, for both short and long stays. Dogs in my care are treated like family, with plenty of attention, routine, and affection. I understand how important it is to trust who looks after your dog, and I make sure every dog feels relaxed, secure, and at home while you’re away. I work full time during the week and am available for dog boarding and care over the weekends. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, care, and quality time in a calm home environment. I have a Minature labradoodle called Lola. She can be playful when there is a ball.. but she is unbothered by other dogs so gives them the space to settle and will give them no trouble.
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: We are not a business, we are a caring family that want to provide the same care and love to your pups that you do, and for that reason we do not take overlapping bookings from multiple people at the same time. So you can have the peace of minds that your dogs will be our sole focus for the duration of their stay in our home. We have a garden for them to play, and lots of green parks around us to take them for walks. If this approach appeals to you, please don’t hesitate to get in contact, we look forward to hearing from you. Since I am not working at the moment I can spend most of my time with your doggy, I give them my full attention and make sure they are not left alone at home. I have a good sized green garden with a fence. Since I have a baby and a dog at home, I made it extra safe for them. Also, since I only accept 1 booking at a time, your dog will not feel nervous of other dogs.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Dartford is £13

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.
We are delighted with how well our two cats were looked after whilst we were away for 10 days. We received daily photos and videos with a detailed written update of their welfare during the drop in visits. Thank you for putting our minds at rest 😊 We will definitely be returning customers.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Dartford pet parents with similar pet households.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

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!

- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
