About: I’m a devoted dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds and ages, whether mine or those of family or neighbours. Nothing makes me happier than spending time with furry friends, whether it’s playing with them, training puppies, or providing gentle care for senior dogs. I treat every dog like family, with patience, kindness, and respect. You can trust me to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away. I have experience with dogs with epilepsy, providing the care they need (per the instructions you have been given by your vet). I’m a devoted dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages. Nothing brings me more joy than spending time with furry friends—whether it’s playing, training puppies, or providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. I treat every dog like family, with patience, kindness, and respect. You can trust me to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away. I also have experience caring for dogs with epilepsy, following the specific instructions provided by your vet to ensure their well-being. From a young age, I’ve had a special place in my heart for dogs—my family often jokes that no stray ever escaped my notice! Wherever we went, I would gently coax stray dogs into our car to take them to the vet and give them a safe, loving home. This lifelong passion for helping dogs is at the core of the care I provide today. :) I work flexibly from home, so I can provide walks and companionship as often as your dog needs throughout the day. My husband also works from home, ensuring your dog will never be left alone while in our care. I do school drop-offs and pick-ups on foot for our 1 child, and if your dog enjoys a stroll (about 15 minutes each way), I’d love to bring them along for some extra exercise and fresh air. If you’d prefer your dog to stay at home during these times, that’s no problem—my husband and I coordinate so one of us is always at home with your pet. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual schedule and routines, including feeding times, quantities, medication, walk times, and any special instructions you have. Please feel free to let me know exactly what works best for your dog—I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for! I have a spacious, fenced back garden where your dog can safely run, play, or simply relax. Inside, there’s plenty of room for them to feel comfortable and at home. For your dog’s safety and comfort, I exclusively use leads, harnesses, beds, crates, and other equipment you provide—this way, your dog enjoys the familiarity of their own gear and routine. I ask that owners supply everything their pet needs for their stay, including food, medication, and any special items, so I can offer the most personalized care possible. I always follow each dog’s unique routine, from feeding schedules to special care instructions, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Our home is filled with love for dogs—both adults and our gentle, dog-loving 9-year-old are devoted to making every guest feel welcome. Above all, we treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect we give our own, so you can trust your pet is always in safe, caring hands

About: Hi, I am Hattie! I am a biomedical science student currently off for summer, looking to spend my free time doing what i love most - caring for dogs and cats. When i am not studying, i work at a local pub and tutor students for their GCSEs. Since tutoring has slowed down for the summer, i have plenty of availability to give your pets the dedicated time, exercise and affection they need and deserve. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I own a 14 year old miniature poodle named Murphy, who is my pride and joy, and a musk turtle! I have been trusted to care for pets of neighbours, friends, family and even regulars from my local pub i work at! I also hold a clear, current DBS check from my work as a Tutor for extra peace of mind :) Caring for my senior dog, and my background in biomedical science, i am equipped to care for pets that require extra attention or medical accommodations such as: - Administering Medication: I am completely comfortable and experienced in administering insulin injections for diabetic dogs, oral medications such as Metacam and eye drops. - Specialised Diets: My little dog is high maintenance! I make him homemade high-protein meals to help his diabetes and am able to manage complex dietary requirements. - Senior Care and Energetic Dogs: I love gentle, slow paced walks for elderly dogs but i am also equally happy and love taking high-energy dogs on longer, stimulating walks. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk, a leisurely stroll, or even just some company, i tailor my care to suit your needs and their needs. I can’t wait to meet your companions :) As a student off for the summer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. My tutoring has slowed down since it is nearing the end of the school year and my part time pub shifts are in the evenings. This means i am fully available during the day for walks and drop-in visits. I am ready to take care of your dogs whenever suits you! Safety and trust are my absolute priorities when caring for your pets on walks and in your own home. I hold a current, clear DBS from my work as a tutor. Having a 14-year old dog myself, i am highly vigilant and understand how to maintain a calm and secure environment. I am fully competent in managing complex routines, specialised diets, administering time-sensitive medications including insulin injections, oral medications and eye drops. Your dogs and your home would be looked after as if they were my own!

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs and have owned a cat for the past 9 years. Over the last 10 years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for family, friends, neighbours and colleagues, including daily visits, feeding, playtime, overnight stays and keeping pets company while owners are away. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs and cats with different personalities and routines, including more nervous or independent pets. I always aim to provide calm, reliable and attentive care, and I’m happy to send regular photo updates for peace of mind while you’re away. I work in Birmingham during the week, so I’m available for early morning visits before work and longer visits after work in the evenings, usually up to around an hour. On weekends, I’m much more flexible and can do visits at any time, longer stays, or overnight care if needed. I’m very active, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on long walks, play with pets, keep them company, or just make sure they’re fed and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, as I feel this is the most comfortable and familiar environment for them. I also have my own cat, Kymba, so I wouldn’t want to bring other animals into the house and make her feel unsettled. I always try to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular photo updates too for peace of mind.

About: Hi, I'm Soph and I absolutely adore animals! Having grown up surrounded by them my entire life, I am extremely experienced, qualified and confident in looking after them. As an empath, I care deeply about their welfare and I have a fur-baby of my own, a four year old tuxedo cat named Kiara who means the absolute world to me. Aside from pet sitting a variety of different breeds over the years, I have had 4 dogs of my own alongside my aforementioned cat, all of which have been rescue dogs of all ages and mixed breeds. I also have experience taking care of rabbits and Guinea pigs. I understand how important it is to recognise and attend to each animal’s individual personality traits and I have first hand experience and knowledge when it comes to taking care of all sorts, so rest assured, your fur babies will be in good hands! It would be a pleasure to help out with any pet owners who need a hand, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries. I always ensure that I keep my Rover calendar up to date so you can rest assured you will know in advance when I am available! I operate on a first come, first served basis so feel free to request even months in advance if you need to. I live in Stourbridge with close access to several nearby parks and routes along the canal with close access to larger stretches of grassy areas, woods and parks. I am more than happy to come to you and pet-sit at yours so your animal/s are in the environment they know and feel safe in.

Alicia was amazing, going above and beyond what we’d asked when she was looking after our cat, as well as checking on food, water and litter. Our cat is often sad when lonely so she loved playing with Alicia, who gave her her full attention in each visit.

About: My experience with fostering pets started several years ago, when my friend found a 1-month-old kitten on the street and rescued it, but was unable to keep it in her home, so she asked me to foster until we find him a permanent home. I named the little guy Simba (original, I know!) and took care of him for 3 months before finding him a permanent, loving home. Since then, I have been housesitting dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I am studying remotely at Open University, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets, cuddle them and take them for walks. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routines to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I start by learning all about their needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and familiar. I also give them lots of love, attention, and affection, always respecting their personality—whether they’re shy and quiet or playful and energetic. I’ll regularly update you with photos and messages, so you know your pet is in great hands while you're away.

Rachel was nothing short of amazing! She came and did a pre visit for feeding our cats and I instantly felt at easy. Rachel’s communication was fantastic sending us photos on each visit and making sure our cat feeders worked on time and even gave them some cuddles. This gave us the peace of mind and reassurance we needed when away on holiday. I would 100% recommend and use Rachel again in the future!

About: Hi, my name is Daria and I live in Stourbridge with my partner, two children (11 and 12 years old) and our two-year-old cavachon, Stan. Our home is located only five minutes away from a park and numerous fields and our garden is fully fenced. I am available for dog sitting at any time of the day as our children walk to and from school. I can look after any small to medium sized dogs, either overnight or during the day and can also provide long walks. Furthermore, I have grown up with four different dogs (small, medium and big ones!) and have experience in dog sitting for family and friends. My children are very familiar with dogs behaviours and understand how to care for them; they are also very respectful and sensible around them. I always ensure that the dogs are walked, fed and played with and I'm dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment for any dogs that I look after. If you have any questions, I'm more than happy to tailor the service to what you need. My daily routine consists of getting up early and taking the dogs out to go potty, playing with them, and providing them with exercise. This is followed by feeding them breakfast and giving them treats and affection throughout the day. I take the dogs on multiple walks throughout the day so they can get the exercise they need. I also take time to groom the dogs and provide them with any medical care they may need. At night, I make sure the dogs have their dinner and then I spend time playing with them and giving them lots of love. On weekends, I usually take the dogs on longer walks or hikes. This is a great way for them to get out and explore the world around them. I also take the time to provide more rigorous exercise such as playing fetch, going for a run, or playing with training toys. This is a great way to keep them mentally and physically healthy. Overall, pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine. I take my responsibility as a pet owner seriously and make sure the dogs are always well taken care of. You can trust us to provide your dog with the best possible care. I follow your instructions closely and make sure to give your dog the right amount of food and attention. I provide plenty of cuddles and playtime - all according to your preferences. I keep your dog safe indoors when the weather is bad, and take them out for regular potty breaks and muddy walks if you'd like. I also make sure to take your dog to the vet whenever necessary. I understand that each dog is different and may take time to get used to new people, so I will discuss this with you before booking and arrange a meet and greet to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I prioritize your pup's safety and wellbeing above all else.

Booked Alicia for the second time to look after our cat while away for a week, and once again was so grateful for the care she gave. Our cat enjoyed all the cuddles and the opportunity to go outside on her harness - it was really reassuring to know that she had someone checking in on her who spent time making sure she was happy. Food bowl and water were consistently checked and topped up as needed, and litter tray was also checked and dealt with as well. I really appreciate the attention and consideration Alicia gave to all aspects of looking after our cat, and will definitely rebook again!

Melanie looked after our two cats whilst we were away on holiday and she did an incredible job. I received daily updates via the Rover report cards as well as photos each day. This was so reassuring and lovely to see. I completely trusted Mel and her ability to care for the boys whilst we were away. Mel also gave Simba daily medication and at the end of the week I received a photo of the daily medication log which confirmed he had received his tablet at what time each day. Mel went above and beyond in her duties, one day returning for a second visit, to check on Simba as he had been sick one day. I would absolutely recommend Mel if you are looking for a conscientious and caring lady to care for your pets. Thanks again Mel! We will defo be in touch next time we are away xx

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.

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.
