“Samantha was really professional and friendly and gave us regular updates on our two cats while we were away. Would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets in the future.”
“I was nervous about leaving my cat with a sitter I didn't know for the first time, but that didn't last for long! Molly came over to meet Kylo before I left, and once looking after him I received regular updates and pictures which I appreciated! I knew he was being looked after well and would definitely recommend”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our family. I've owned and cared for cats for many years, had my own much-loved French Bulldog, regularly cared for a Labrador and have also fostered cats in our home. Both John and I work from home, so pets staying with us get plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We're very happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, bedtime routines and - most importantly - plenty of cuddles and attention. We have a secure fenced garden and no pets of our own currently. We do have two young children who have grown up around animals, so for boarding/daycare we only accept pets who are comfortable and safe around young children. We know how nerve-racking it can be leaving your pet with somebody new, so we're also very happy to send regular photos and updates while they're with us. We want them to feel like they're staying with family. ❤️ I work full time from home as does my husband so we are always around to help with any animal needs. We have two young children that love animals. I have a fenced garden and lots of treats and toys. Our home is the pets home so they will feel as if they are having a holiday of their own.
About: I work part-time so I am very flexible. I have experience walking and looking after a variety of dog breeds for family members and friends (including: border collie, dachshund, Dogue de Bordeaux). I own a border collie so I am comfortable with high energy dogs. I have experience volunteering at dog centres across South East Asia, walking and caring for multiple dogs at one time. I’m currently working part-time, I am available daytime a few days a week. I can also be available for evenings or longer stays. I have a car if needed to transport your dog for walks. I am happy using crates if your dog is comfortable in one. I am happy to meet up prior to walking your dog to gain trust and make sure the dog feels comfortable.
About: We have both taken care of cats and dogs and horses since we were 10 and would love to have your pets stay in our cottage and become part of our little family during their stay. My partner Jamie and I both currently have a flexible working arrangement which means that we are often working from home during the week. We are also available for boarding at weekends. We are surrounded by countryside, with plenty of options for dog walking right on our door step. We do not have any other pets or children at home and we have a small enclosed front garden which is perfect for quick toilet breaks and sunbathing. Happy to arrange any pre booking meetings, if you want to check out our setup. Look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!
About: I have studied animal care for 4 years now. I have a Level 2/3 & 4 Diploma in Animal Care! Also have completed a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Psychology! I’m currently not working so I’m very flexible in what times and how long I can spend with your beloved animal! Animals are very high up on my priority list!! I’m more than happy to feed/give fresh water to your beloved fur baby! Also I’m not afraid to wash/groom them or even have playtime with them! I’m also available to take your pet for a walk in all weathers!!
About: I've been passionate about animals all my life. I have looked after small,medium & large dogs; as well as cats. I regularly look after my friend's dog on a Tuesday all day and vaious other times and have looked after her for two weeks while she was on holiday. Currently I dont own a pet; so if your dog is nervous around othe animals there is no concern. I am friendly and kind and would love to meet your little bundle of fur. I currently work part-time in the care industry. I would be available Monday from 2:30 pm. Thursday-Sunday. I might be available for drop ins depending on what time you need. Your pet always comes first, I am more than happy to play with, walk or feed your pet. I know plenty of dog friendly areas. I have experience with puppies and older dogs. Have owned a cat, hamster, fish and snakes. I currently live with a cat called snoopy.
About: Growing up my aunt owned a cattery & kennels, so I spent many years helping out, caring for the animals. I’ve always had my own dogs & cats, mainly from rescues as I could never bare to see them unloved. My nan always said, never trust a man who doesn’t like dogs haha & I live by that. I’m currently working part time, Wednesday - Friday for around 5 hours a day but have flexibility around my days and hours if need be. Obviously if there is an pet that cannot be left for longer then a set time, I would carefully take this into consideration. I would treat your pet as if it were my own & with the utmost care. I understand that every pet & their owner is different & may require different care, so would openly discuss this upon booking.
About: I’ve been surrounded by family dogs all my life, I grew up with a rescue golden Labrador and currently look after my gorgeous 6 year old cockapoo Peggy. I’ve trained and looked after Peggy since she was 6 weeks old. I run my own business and only work part time so fully flexible with any routine. My children are 14 and 12 and both love dogs. We have two cats Mollie & Mae. Your family pet will be invited into our house and treated as one of our family! Hi, I'm Lucy, I'm the very lucky owner of Peggy, my super soppy 6-year-old Cockapoo — she’s gentle, loving, keeps me busy and reminds me every day how much love dogs bring. We also have two 8 year old cats, Mollie & Mae (we rescued them from the RSPCA when they were kittens 8 years ago) they are loving sisters and keep themselves to themselves, they have their own cat flap that is permanently open for them and they come and go as they please, Peggy gets on really well with them. Caring for dogs & cats combines two of my favourite passions: spending time outdoors and sharing life with four-legged friends. I regularly look after family and friends dogs and love taking them on long, fun walks. Whether it's cuddles at home, playtime in the garden, or a good stretch of the legs, I'll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks. My goal is to provide a flexible, reliable service that gives you peace of mind and gives your dog the same level of love and attention I give Peggy. We live in a beautiful small village in the countryside and have a fully fenced 100ft back garden and 30ft front garden (also gated) with plenty of room to run around. There is a local park only 5 minute walk away along with many country walks for exploring and sniffing. To make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for, please let me know: * Any special needs, behaviours, or routines * Their likes and dislikes * Feeding, walking, and sleeping preferences. That way, I can make sure your pet has the best possible experience with me.

“Nobody could've taken better care of Barney than Liam! He left everything in perfect order. He cared for Barney as if she was his own. I can highly recommend Liam to anyone wanting a cat sitter. I don't think you can find anyone better. I would only leave Barney with someone trustworthy who would take great care of her. ”
About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues
About: I am currently back living at home with my parents & rescue dog Alfie!! There is no better company than a dog (although deep down I’ve always been a cat person number 1- don’t tell Alfie!). I’ve done multiple dog sits and pop ins for cats. I get just as much out of it as them, and find it hard to say goodbye!! I am reliable and have been doing the same pups & cats for a few years. I am a restaurant supervisor, so my hours are odd and I tend to get random weekdays off. I’ll most likely be serving a Sunday roast on a Sunday. My hours range from 9-3, 9-5,12-5, 5/6 - cls and once or twice a week I’ll work a double. I am a cat / dog sitter so will come to you. I am very experienced with cats, and own two big dogs so size does not bother me! In fact my sausage dog that I dog sit is the one I fear the most ;)
About: Hi! My name is Amy! 😊I’m a caring, responsible animal lover with lots of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve spent plenty of time around pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I also regularly join my friend, who is a full-time professional dog walker, which has given me valuable experience handling multiple dogs, practicing safe walking techniques, and understanding proper pet care in everyday situations. This experience has helped me become confident, attentive, and calm when caring for pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—whether that means fun walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking closely to feeding and medication schedules. I know how important trust and communication are, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to care for your furry family member! I also want to make sure you feel safe and secure, so please message me regarding any questions - I respond quick!😊 Fully flexible as this is my full time job! I’m between a few apps, and have a few regulars which keep me busy but have plenty of space! I care for pets in their own home by sticking closely to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I always respect the home by keeping things tidy, locking doors and windows, and making sure pets are safe before I leave. Regular updates and photos are always provided.

Dollie has been an absolute dream with our little Ernie! As he is still a puppy, we were nervous to leave him with anyone but she has made us feel so reassured and comfortable from day one. She’s tentative, gentle and so caring with him! Couldn’t recommend more

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.

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 East Hertfordshire 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.
