“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”
“Rosie has been an absolute godsend whilst I’ve been away! She’s given my fur baby lots of love and attention and made everything about him which I am so appreciative of. I received daily updates on what he’d been up to throughout the day, even what he’d had for dinner! Honestly I couldn’t have asked for anyone better, thank you so much Rosie xx”
“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 💜”
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. 🐾
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.
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 understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.
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 2 teenage kids who are animal lovers too and knows how to lookafter dogs. My youngest is very good at dog training, and dogs likes her company. 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: Hi everyone, I’m a genuine animal lover with years of experience caring for pets throughout my life. I currently have my own cat, Nahla, who I absolutely adore, so I understand how important it is to know that your pet is with someone kind, attentive and trustworthy. I’d be very happy to help with dog walking, cat/dog drop-in visits, feeding, companionship and pet sitting in your home. My aim is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable and well cared for, and I’ll treat them with the same patience and affection I would give my own. I’m reliable, responsible and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding instructions, walks, playtime and any particular preferences they may have. I’m also very happy to send you updates and photos while they’re in my care. My availability is generally flexible throughout the week, particularly from around 11am onwards. I can also accommodate mornings for regular arrangements. As I have a cat of my own, I’m currently focusing on care in the owner’s home rather than boarding pets at mine. If you’re looking for someone caring and dependable to look after your pet, I’d love to hear from you. 🐕🐈🐾 My schedule is currently quite flexible throughout the week, so I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m generally available from around 11am onwards, although I can also arrange earlier mornings for regular bookings or when agreed in advance. Safety, Trust & Environment I always follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll take time to understand their personality, feeding schedule, walking habits and any specific needs before caring for them.

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.
“Sara has been amazing, we came home to a very happy cat! This was the first time using Rover (or similar), and we’re very happy. Sara came to our house first to meet us and our cat, she’s super friendly and took notes of everything that was said. We had asked for her to feed/play with Zeus while we were gone for a night, she did 3 visits in total and I can see from the pictures that Zeus seems comfortable with Sara, which is lovely. Very much recommend Sara!!”

Well what can I say, Jude was a dream come true, she was very responsive and informative during the booking process. Jude was punctual and professional throughout the duration of the time she was looking after our cat Monkey. Even when our very naughty cat decided to give us all a fright by doing a disappearing act for a few days while we were away. Jude still kept in contact and did everything within her power to try and find him... she went above and beyond and treated Monkey as well as if he were her own. Monkey returned home halfway through our trip as if nothing had happened. Thank you for all the updates and videos to keep us reassured throughout. I am sorry that he gave you such a stressful time. I would highly recommend Jude. She is a true animal lover and great to work with.
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.

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!

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.
