First time we've used Ella. We received regular updates as requested and on returning home everything was in good order with a very happy cat. Very impressed and would happily recommend anybody else using her services. Well done Ella, and thank you

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for the past 13 years and, during that time, I’ve also regularly cared for the dogs of family and friends. Looking after animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love going on long walks, so your dog will always get plenty of exercise, attention, and stimulation. I’m fortunate to live close to beautiful woodlands, canals, and parks, which means there are lots of exciting places for dogs to explore and enjoy. Whether your pet enjoys energetic adventures, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply companionship and cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs to ensure they feel completely at home Happy to work to requirements as I’m very flexible. Happy to have pets over the weekend or for longer. Daily walks where required morning afternoon or evening. I have a large fenced back garden. I recently lost my dog of 13 years so your pet would get my full attention. Happy to crate you pet if required but not necessary.

About: We love all animals and have had previous experience with many animals including dogs, cats lizards, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs and we rescue pigeons. We have trained our own dogs from a puppy and have experience caring for elderly dogs We have our own dog walking and pet sitting business called Loveable Leashes which we do alongside our part-time job. As there are 2 of us we are able to share the dog sitting between us making us available for more hours. We care for pets in their own home and would ensure that the gardens are secure and safe. The dog would go for daily works which would be suitable for the dog we are caring for.

About: I currently have an Italian Greyhound and previously we had a family dog from a rescue. My sister has 3 dogs and when they go away I look after them (a Bedlington whippet cross and 2 black labs) I currently freelance for a delivery company so my schedule is fully flexible, any time of day I can come over and chill with your pet, take them for walks, let them out for a wee etc. Whatever you want I have a fenced garden with a little Italian Greyhound, my sister has a larger outdoor space and when I sit for them I take them on walks, I let the 2 well trained labs off lead (plus my iggy) but not her Bedlington Whippet as she tends to get "distracted"

About: I would love to offer my help with your dog care requirements; dog boarding at my home, dog sitting at your home, dog walking, day care, evening care. I am flexible and happy to accommodate the needs of yourself and your beloved furries. I have been dog-bonkers since I can ever remember (envious at a young age of cousins who had dogs and I loved visiting …. as often as I could!!). It took until I was 10 years old to wear mom and dad down with my nagging to give up and allow me to have my own … since then I don’t think I’ve been without at least one, whether it be my own or taking care of someone else’s best fur-pal. Sadly, last year I lost my furry soul mate, Clint who was an English Bull Terrier, aged 13. I’m not quite ready to commit to being a ‘full time fur-mom’ again just yet, however I massively miss the companionship, love and fun that spending time with a doggo brings; I really enjoy spending time with my friends and family’s dogs. I love welcoming fur-babies into my home and ensuring that they instantly feel at home, part of the family and furniture and secure and loved. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages; pups to seniors, temperaments; bonkers pups, excitable teenagers to chilled out, sleepy seniors. I believe routine is important for all dogs and I will ensure that their routine remains the same (to your requirement) during their stay at my home. Your dog will be walked at least twice daily (there are several local parks) and will have access at all times to the garden, which is fully enclosed. Your fur-baby will be loved and given cuddles, attention and mental stimulation as if they were my own during their stay at my home. I am experienced and confident in administering medication of all kinds, as necessary and I am currently in the final stages of completing a Canine First Aid course. I also have a current and up to date DBS certificate. I am excited at the prospect of meeting yourselves and your fur-babies, and am very much looking forward to you putting your trust in me to care for them just as you do, while you are away - I promise to keep you updated with photo’s an pup-dates. I can guarantee you the peace of mind that your furry family member will experience a home from home stay and will have the best care, attention, love and enrichment that they are used to at home. I am flexible to your requirements and those of your dog ie, walk times, food times, bed times, (familiar routine); happy to accommodate your schedule/requirements. I truly understand how much of an important part of our lives, the happiness and welfare of our pets means to us. My day always starts early (a habit that I can’t shake despite my bestie no longer being here). ‘Good Morning’ cuddles and wake up time is first on the agenda, followed by breakfast, (medication if appropriate etc). Further meals/medication throughout the day I will give according to your instructions. Next, heading out to the park to read the ‘doggie newspapers’ (scent trails 🤣)/ leisurely stroll/fetch ball (whichever exercise activity suits your pooch. Exercise periods and activities will always follow your preferred guidance, as routine is the key to ensuring that your fur-baby’s experience of spending time in my home is positive and a place that they can’t wait to visit again. I will be happy to continue to facilitate training methods, plans and commands that you currently use. I have a number of lovely parks in my locality so our walks later in the day will follow a different route (… and different ‘doggie newspapers’ to read 🤣). Between these times there will be lots of home playtime, (indoors and outdoors), fetch, tug of war, enrichment games, etc (for those who like that), but equally there is plenty of quiet space for snoozing and recharging of batteries (ready to go again in some cases). Alongside this I can guarantee that there will ALWAYS be time for love, cuddles, kisses and belly rubs – 24/7!!! ❤️🐶 If your instructions allow, I am always happy to finish the day snuggled up on the sofa, happy to provide belly rubs. (Appreciate this is not everyones’ cup of tea and of course I would always comply with your wishes). Alternatively, there will be lots of dog-bed belly rubs and fuss instead. If your fur-baby is used to sleeping in a crate, I have the room here to accommodate this. Equally, I am happy to share my home and do not have a problem with them being on the sofa’s, furniture, etc, and having free access throughout. I am happy to be guided by you and will accommodate your fur-baby’s routine and your wishes Safety, security and comfort are my top priorities and something I have always taken very seriously as a dog owner. I have a calm, clean, clutter-free home which is 100% dog friendly and free from hazards (being the mom to an English Bull Terrier for 13 years definitely taught me that !!! 😱🤦🏼‍♀️🤣). I have a completely enclosed garden; grass and patio areas, sunshine and shade. I have a current and up to date DBS Certificate which I will happily provide a copy of I am in the final stages of a Level 3 Canine First Aid qualification. I have recently enrolled on a Canine Massage Therapy Diploma course.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for most of my life, so much so I’m allergic to them and have two of my own! I’d pick dogs over humans any day, There is no warmth like a dogs💌. I am currently off my main job for the summer so my current routine is fairly flexible! I can work around you. On a day-to day basis when it’s not Summer, I’m still pretty flexible with enough communication. I have an interest in dogs behaviour and pride myself on the training I have completed with my own. I’m happy to go with the flow or follow the needs of an already established routine, whatever works for your fur baby.

About: Over the past few years, I’ve cared for both small, medium and large dogs through Rover because I genuinely love having pets in my home. I’ve been looking after dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’d definitely love to spend as much time as I can with as many dogs as possible! I’m working hybrid from home so available to dogsit in the week. I have a fenced yard and enough space in the house to give your dog his own space. Your fur baby will always have someone to keep him company.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I can remember. Having been raised around dogs of all sizes, and my family’s love for having many cats at home, I have accumulated years of experience from home alone. This includes pets with special requirements, and those who just prefer more attention to others! I grew up spending most of my time at my uncles farm, spending a lot of time with his farm animals and sheep dogs. I have volunteered frequently at Stourbridge cat rescue over the years, and having 6 of my own at home, the care required came naturally to me. I currently study full-time at university, however my schedule is very flexible! I have filtered my availability to show for this, so any days you see free means I am able to accommodate to your pet full-time or whenever required! As someone with pets of my own and an understanding of how clumsy some pets can be, I can ensure that I will keep a permanent eye on your pet during sittings- and that all small objects are kept away and doors/ windows are checked frequently. Personally, my dog loves to sprint out the door whenever he hears the handle go, so I have mastered how to leave the house without any flight-risk. Any special requests shall be adhered to also.

About: I have experience with dogs of every size, age, and temperament since I was a child, and I’ve always had pets of my own. My first pet was my beloved cat, Pudding, who was with me for 17 years - she's still fondly remembered for her bark... yes, my cat thought she was a dog! I rescued my late dog Oz, who was my best friend for eight years until I sadly lost him last year. Oz had a variety of health issues later in his life, including poor vision and suffering a stroke, which taught me how to care for dogs with additional needs. Friends, neighbours, and family have relied on me for decades to help while they've been on holiday or away, to support them with walking and caring for their pets as if they were my own. I've done this in both my own home and theirs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. Especially after losing my pup and best friend, Oz, last year, there is a big doggy void in my life that I am looking to fill. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays and weekends for sitting or longer boarding. Your pet will never feel rushed - I ensure they get quality playtime, exercise, and cuddles. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I will always care for your pets in the way that feels most natural for them, in the familiar surroundings of their own home. I’m a responsible adult with years of experience, so you can rest easy knowing they’re in safe hands. I understand how precious pets are, Oz and Pudding taught me that, and I’ll make sure your fur baby feels loved, secure, and cared for at all times.

Olivia and Lewis did a great job looking after Sprout while we were away. He's an older chap so with it comes some slightly less pleasant jobs which they had no problem picking up for us. They gave us loads of updates and really set our minds at ease knowing he was really well looked after, thank you both would definitely book again

About: I've always had pets of one kind or another; cats, dogs, a rabbit, hamsters, budgies, fish and even terrapins....love them all 🥰 I enjoy walking so I thought I would incorporate it with helping others too. I'm part time self employed and part time retired at the moment so plenty of time and patience to look after your furry friends or even those who aren't so furry. I have two very friendly dogs who would love to play and walk with new friends, they actually call for the neighbours dog to join us.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and small animals. My responsibilities have included daily feeding, administering medication, walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cleaning litter trays and cages, and providing plenty of play, cuddles, and companionship to keep pets happy while their owners are away. Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine. Whether I’m feeding, walking, or spending quality time with animals, I always make time each day to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and well looked after. I plan my schedule around their needs—morning and evening walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any specific routines the pet is used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine. I make sure they are fed on time, walked regularly, and given lots of attention and play. I keep their environment clean and comfortable by refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter trays or outdoor areas, and tidying up after any mess. I also send regular updates and photos to reassure the owner while they’re away. I respect the home as if it were my own—secure, tidy, and with the pet’s comfort as the top priority.

This was our first time using Rover and Anna was great and made it so easy. One of our dogs is very nervous when new people come into the home and Anna took the time to come round and meet him before the drop-in session. It was great peace of mind to know someone we could trust was popping in to look after our dogs while we were at work. I would 100% recommend Anna and we will definitely book with her again when we need to :)

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Dudley 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!

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
