“Sorry it's taken me so long to thank you. Thanks for the pics, Teddy looked so pleased to see you. It was lovely knowing that when you popped in he was greeted by someone he knows. Teddy obviously remembered you and was very happy to see you. Thanks again. Caroline and Teddy.x”
“Amazing ! Thank you Freya for taking such good care of our cats. You went above and beyond and sent lovely photos, which gave us peace of mind and reassurance while we were away. Amazing communication, super professional, couldn’t have asked for more. Really grateful for your care and attention.”
About: I live in Basingstoke with my family and have been in the UK since 2003, having grown up in South Africa. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t imagine a home without pets in it. I share my home with one awesome little Jack Russell who is truly the centre of my heart and my family’s world. Growing up with pets has taught me how important they are as family members, not “just animals,” and I understand the love, patience, and care they deserve. I’m fortunate to work from home, which means I’m always around for my children and our fur baby. This also allows me to offer reliable, attentive care for other people’s precious companions. I have the time, availability, and genuine passion to help give pets the care, comfort, and attention they need while their owners are away. I work flexible hours from home and do the daily school run, but outside of that I’m available for pop-in visits, walks, daycare (at my home or yours), and overnight boarding — both during the week and at weekends. Pets in my care are treated as part of the family and looked after in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a family home with children who are kind, gentle, and used to being around animals, as well as our friendly 1-year-old Jack Russell, who is well socialised and loves having company. All interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. In my home, pets are never left alone for long periods and their routines are kept as close as possible to what they’re used to, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. My home is clean, secure, and pet-safe, with plenty of space for relaxation and play. I carefully consider each booking to ensure it’s a good fit for a home environment and introduce pets slowly and thoughtfully. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency and trust. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Katherine was great from start to finish. She was friendly and professional when meeting her and catered for everything we'd asked for. Dexter instantly befriended her and was a happy contented boy when arrived home. We would highly recommend Katherine, and will request her again. 😊”
About: Hi my name is Anna :) I simply adore all animals and do believe a home is not a home without one. I cant think of anything better than to be curled up on a sofa with a doggy by my side. Having recently lost my Mini Schnauzer Mutley earlier on this year I now feel ready to put all my love and care into something as rewarding as this. In the last few years I have had 4 Mini Schnauzers one of which was a rescue from Battersea (Missy) She came to me a scared nervous dog who had never even seen grass or been on a lead and struggled being in the same room. She eventually after a little time blossomed into the sweetest poppet and lost her fears and lived the life she so truly deserved. I can honestly say it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I dearly love all animals and want you to know they would receive the best care ❤️ in my company. A truly pampered pooch ! X I am currently at home so able to give full commitment to your pet. I have a completely fenced off back garden in a fairly quiet area. I have a fenced off back garden in a reasonably quiet area. My home is their home and I would allow them everywhere in the house.

About: I’ve taken care of Dogs since I was 10 years old. I have lots of patience and I have taken care of pets for my aunts, grandmother and my own dogs. Back home, I had three Boerboels two Jack Russells and a German short haired pointer. I regularly bathed, walked and groomed my dogs. I have such a love for all animals. Dogs are so important because they’re a part of your family. I currently don’t have any other employment so I’ll be able to put my full attention into taking care of your pets to the best of my ability. I take dogs for regular walks, give them treats feed them on time and bathe them when necessary. I love playing with pets out in the garden or the park. I feel that exercise and love the two most important things that you can give to a dog
“Alicia was a really good sitter. She was flexible and super good with my cats. Sent me pictures and updates what’s happening with them. I’ll definitely book another time with her again.”
About: I've kept pets all my life and I adore them, inc Cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, tropical fish. I enjoy the company of animals and taking walks with my seven year old dog Charlie. In a previous job role I received an award from Hampshire police, for community safety and worked closely with the local dog warden and RSPCA to ensure the safety and welfare of animals. I am working but I can take your dog with me if you wish as I have private space, inside and outdoors. I am available for house sitting too and can be flexible to accommodate individuals needs and requirements. I only take one dog at a time, with the exception of dogs living in the the same household, therefore I can commit to giving your pet/s all my attention. I have a private fenced garden so your pet can roam free, alternatively I can come to your home to care for your pet/s, take for walks, let a cat in or out, and make sure they have food, water and lots of attention, including reptiles, fish, small animals etc. I have my own dog Charlie, he does spend time with my daughter as we part share him so if your dog isn’t dog friendly please let me know I will ensure your dog is alone during his/her stay.
“Jessica was amazing, my cats were very happy and well looked after. Jessica clearly loves animals and is amazing with cats, one of mine is a bit shyer than the other but they clearly felt comfortable and cuddly with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with all sorts of pets from dogs to mice. Dogs are my favourite but I love all animals and have looked after family cats whilst they’ve been away. I work from home during the week so can be flexible and I also have availability at the weekends or in the evenings as well. Happy to follow any instructions, big or small, to offer owners peace of mind that your pets will be well looked after in your absence.
“Leila was brilliant. We have not left our two cats with a 'stranger' before and were a little nervous about it tbh for both the cats and the sitter. No need to worry with Leila, she sent a contact summery everyday to us with pictures and real feedback. Leila's perseverance with one particularly shy cat paid off after a couple of days, they became friends and I don't think Dave has ever made friends with anyone other than us! We're really grateful for her care in our home and arriving home to two happy cats is just the best feeling.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 17 years. Since I was 10, neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets with love and patience. I’ve looked after both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra attention. Animals feel safe and happy with me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet.. I’m available most weekdays and weekends all day. Whether your kitty needs feeding, playtime, or just some quiet company, I’m happy to help. I live in a calm and quiet home with no children and one gentle cat of my own. I always provide a safe, clean, and stress-free environment. I follow feeding routines carefully, clean litter boxes daily, and make sure your cat gets the attention they need—on their terms, of course!
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs and cats, and over the years I’ve built a strong foundation of hands-on experience and knowledge in animal care. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and I’m also a dog handler in the military reserves, which has given me a high level of discipline, responsibility, and confidence working with dogs of all temperaments. I have my own German Shepherd, so I naturally have a soft spot for larger, high-energy breeds and understand the level of exercise, structure, and stimulation they need. I’m very passionate about animal welfare and always provide a safe, enriching, and positive experience for every pet in my care. Alongside this, I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour and experience in training dogs to a high standard. I aim to reinforce good habits on every walk, from lead manners to calm social interactions - helping make life easier and more enjoyable for both dogs and their owners. As well as furry companions, I’m also experienced in exotic pet care. I have 8 reptiles of my own, so I’m very confident handling and caring for a variety of species, making me a great option for multi-pet households. I am a full-time dog walker/pet sitter so have all the time in the world for your fluffy friends! I do however attend one weekend a month for my military dog handler role but I'm sure I'll be able to fit you in around that! I offer in-home pet care through house sitting, so your pets can stay happy and relaxed in the comfort of their own space. I really value creating a calm, safe environment and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. I naturally like to keep things clean and organised, so helping out with household tasks is never a problem. I always like to go the extra mile, I always aim to go the extra mile, so you can return to a home that feels just as clean - if not cleaner than you left it, with your pets happy, settled, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, both my own and those of friends, neighbors, and family. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s for walks, cuddles, feeding, or giving medicine. I always treat pets like part of the family and love building trust with them. Your pup will be safe, loved, and happy with me! I currently work 2 hours a day in the evenings , so I have lots of flexibility and time to care for your pets! I’m available most weekdays and I can also do weekends and evenings. I love spending time outdoors with dogs and giving them the attention they deserve. I have a large, secure garden where dogs can safely run, sniff and explore daily. I also have 1 very friendly golden retriever who loves company. Your pet will be cared for with love and attention in a calm, safe environment. I can follow any special instructions you provide and crate your dog if needed.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the animal care industry, I bring a calm, capable, and compassionate approach to looking after pets of all kinds. I’ve worked with animals big and small—from horses to household pets—so I understand the importance of routine, attention to detail, and gentle handling. I currently provide daily care for several horses, which includes turnout, mucking out, feeding, and health checks, and I bring that same dedication to looking after dogs, cats, and other pets. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, medication, or just company and cuddles, your pet will be treated like family in my care. With many animals of my own & a full time job, I plan my days to ensure all animals needs are met and are not rushed. In your own home I will abide by any rules which are in place. If, for whatever reason, they are unwell or showing abnormal behaviour I may have them in one room to keep an eye on. But this will be discussed with the owner.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Deane
Chantelle is absolutely amazing. She looked after my 3 cats and 4 guinea pigs. She handled all their feeding, litter cleaning, and medications. I was especially grateful for how she managed the guinea pigs during the heatwave, constantly changing ice packs and managing fans to keep them cool, alongside keeping up with the daily poo picking. Plus, the daily photos she sent were so good, better than any I’ve ever taken of them 😂 I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter.
We had a great experience with Krizsta looking after our little female cat. She was very attentive and punctual, ensuring our cat builds a bond with her beforehand, making sure she had everything she needed and even going an extra mile by asking us to let her know if the cat needed anything else. When we came back from our holiday, our cat seemed very happy and well looked after, so we would definitely book her again.
Charlotte was absolutely wonderful looking after our cat Gatsby while we were away. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats, which gave us real peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was so reassuring to see Gatsby relaxed and well cared for in our absence. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We came home to a happy, settled cat and everything in perfect order. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Charlotte again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.
First time getting someone to look after our cats and was a bit of a last minute booking so very appreciative of Megan for helping us out. She came over and we talked through all of their needs a few days before which was very reassuring. Got some lovely pictures sent through whilst she was with our boys and you could tell they both had a great time with her! Thanks again Megan, will definitely be booking you again when needed! 😊
Xiaomara looked after our 2 rather shy cats whilst we were away for a week. She popped round before hand so we could meet up and have a chat about the cat's needs and i was instantly reassured that she would be kind, diligent and responsible. Xiaomara sent regular updates, including pictures of the cats ,which really set pur minds at ease that they were happy and being well looked after. I would most definitely recommend her and will be booking her again when we next go away.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
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.
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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
