“Millie was a great dog sitter in our home. Millie took the time to do two pre-visits to be confident she knew the dogs before our holiday. When we were away we had lots of updates on how they both were doing. She rearranged her work shifts in order to spend more time with them. The house was very today when returned. I would highly recommend Millie!!”


“This was the first time Tracey and her daughter looked after my two dogs and I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. I received lots of updates and photos during the stay, which reassured me how happy and looked after my dogs were. My house was looked after very well and was spotlessly clean on my return. It was great to be able to enjoy my holiday knowing everything was in safe hands. Thanks Tracey and daughter - you did a brilliant job 😊”


“Kieran was great with our old boy Tinker, and was a very considerate house guest. Being new to Rover we were a little worried having someone we didn’t know in the house but he gave us plenty of pupdates, left the house clean and tidy with great communication. We would be happy to use Kieran again as Tinks was very happy when we got home. Thank you 🙏🏻”

“Caitlin was an absolutely splendid and kind sitter. It’s not easy finding someone to house sit at short notice but she did and was very flexible to our needs. She sent us great photographs which showed how much pleasure she was getting from Bean and how much Bean was enjoying her company. I would happily recommend her to you.”

About: I have had animals all my life, ever since I was little, and caring for them has always been something I am passionate about. Growing up around pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing animals with the love and attention they need. Looking after and caring for animals has always been something I enjoy, whether it is feeding, exercising, grooming, or simply spending time with them. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. My lifelong experience with animals has given me the confidence and dedication needed to provide excellent care for pets. I am available in the week all day Wednesday Thursday and then in the morning/afternoon Monday Tuesday which can be easily moved around for you doggy, I work weekends but short shifts so I will always be around even for pop ins or even hours if needed When pet sitting in a client’s home, I will provide loving, reliable, and attentive care to ensure their pets remain happy and comfortable in their familiar environment. I will follow all instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication requirements, and any special care needs. I will spend quality time with the pets, giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and playtime while maintaining their usual daily routine. I will also help keep the home tidy and secure, ensuring both the pets and property are well looked after while the owner is away. My priority is to provide peace of mind by treating every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own.

I can be available mornings, afternoons and evenings, both weekdays and weekends. I'm an early riser which allows me to care for my own dog around your pets Pet safety and happiness is at the forefront of all I do! I want your dog to be happy and you to feel at ease and know you're dog is reconfigured the same love and care you yourself give them

About: Hi! I’m Beth, I’ve been a passionate animal lover my whole life and have grown up surrounded by pets. Over the years, I’ve developed a great understanding of animals, including their individual needs, behaviours and wellbeing. I’m here to make sure your furry family members receive all the love, attention, care and exercise they need while you’re away. I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own! I'm fully insured and DBS checked for your peace of mind! I’ve also recently completed a Canine First Aid Training course, giving me the knowledge and confidence to respond appropriately should an emergency ever occur. Your pets’ happiness, safety and wellbeing are my priority, and I can’t wait to meet your pride and joys! I currently work full time in the NHS with a combination of remote working days and weekends available. This gives me flexibility around my working schedule and allows me to fit dog walking and pet sitting around my routine. I'm always happy to listen to your individual requirements and cater to any specific needs your pet may have. Every animal is different, and i believe in providing care that is tailored to them and their routine. For your peace of mind I am fully insured and DBS checked, as well as Canine First Aid trained.
“Paige just took care of our French Bulldog, Bruce, for 5 days and nights - in our home. We couldn’t recommend anyone more highly! Bruce is very hard work, he has a disability and very heightened anxiety. We have never left him with anyone that isn’t a family member since we re-homed him 5 years ago, due to his complex nature and the fact that he can be territorial in the home. Paige was so incredibly kind and patient. She took the time to come and meet him twice, without any hesitation and asked for absolutely nothing in return for her time and for driving a good 20 min drive each way on both occasions. She spent a significant time with us and him beforehand and was keen to understand all and everything she could do to make him most comfortable. Paige has just come to the end of taking care of him and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. We had detailed updates, photos and videos every single day (she did state that she was happy to do what we preferred so if you are good with less updates, that is fine with her - but we loved having multiple updates)! They detailed his eating, toileting, sleeping, walks and everything in between. She tailored her approach as he is disabled, not being at all bothered that we have to take a buggy on walks or that he cannot walk far, on one of her visits to meet him I explained that if I get the time on a walk, he actually loves to sit and people watch, low and behold, that was included in every walk - which I know he would’ve loved 🥹 She slept downstairs on the sofa with him on the first night to allow him to become fully comfortable with her being there, if that doesn’t say everything, I am not sure what does! As he lacks control of his bladder and bowels, she took care of replacing mats, washing bedding and mats every day, showering him, cleaning up his buggy - above and beyond what most would be willing to do! If you are looking for someone that will: - tailor their approach to your pets needs - respect the pet’s boundaries - be patient and understanding - highly communicative and happy to tailor the comms to your preferences - someone that will truly take the time to understand your pet - someone that takes extra care with your pet and their needs - someone that will not only respect your home but goes above and beyond to care of it (without any expectation, Paige put out the bins, cleaned and vacuumed the carpets, did numerous loads of washing, took in deliveries, cleaned kitchen sides, mopped floors, stripped bed linen off and so much more) Then Paige is your person. This was a whim, we genuinely thought that we’d struggle to find anyone that would take care of Bruce due to his complex needs and his nature. He is very hard to get to know, as he doesn’t trust people he doesn’t know at all. When I received a photo from Paige with his head laying on her lap and soft eyes looking up at her, and one of her scratching his belly, I knew that she’d put in an immense amount of effort with him. He never does either of those things with someone he doesn’t know very well and trust. Paige has become someone that we can trust and rely upon, and we are so incredibly grateful for all that she did, not only for Bruce, but to give us peace of mind too! Just to add, my Mum was the back up carer for this period, Paige even sent her updates too! The most amazing pet sitter that we will shout from the rooftops to recommend ❤️”

“Lauren was accommodating and professional looking after all of our animals. Her communication was excellent and worked well for us. Otis had a great time, with plenty of walks and time outside and the ducks were well looked after (and hopefully provided some novel entertainment). Lauren also left the house clean and tidy which is much appreciated!”
About: Throughout my life, I have always had pets, especially cats. I have cared for one, two or even three cats at a time. I have also looked after friends’ cats and dogs, including a Doberman and three Boston Terriers.

I can have pets over night, every night and on my days off, mostly Thursday and Sunday, on the days off I have lots of time to spend with little furry friends 🧡 I have secured balcony there cats can enjoy sunshine and watching birds, I love cuddling them and play with them. I love cats and have their trust

“Jo took exceptional care of my boy, Benji, while I was on holiday. He was happy, content, and clearly well looked after. The photos she sent really showed how much she cared for him. Before the stay, Joanna even took the time to visit and get to know Benji on his terms, asking thoughtful questions about his needs—and meeting every one of them throughout. I would absolutely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Benji would too—especially as he thoroughly enjoyed his unlimited carrots!”

About: I have had two doggies for the last 12 years. My eldest dog went over the rainbow bridge a few months a go and I’m really missing having doggy walks and company. I work part-time as an exam invigilator a few months of the year, have a car and feel I’d like to offer my care to some pets in need. I prefer to work with smaller breeds, with up to two smaller dogs at a time or one cockerpoo size. I would be happy to come and spend time with your furbaby whilst you are at work or on a day trip. We can have a play, chill out or go for a walk. It’s entirely up to you and your dog. I am happy to spend time with dogs of all ages. I am working as an exam invigilator for a few months of the year and have my own car. My children are now grown and they and my husband are now out all day. I regularly look after my father who is 86 one day an week and take him to hospital appointments. Other than this I am available to pop in and look after a dog or two. Take them for a walk or just give them some company. I am happy to care for pets in their own environment. I find that pets seem to be happier if they are in their own environments.

My Dog was a rescue who was very nervous around other humans and doggies, I took extra care with him re introducing him to new environments - now he is the most loving and playful dog! Have also taken many neighbours dogs for walkies for many years! I work part time as a snowboard instructor, so I have plenty of time to look after my fur baby! He has penny of walks and a doggy paddle pool for this mega heat! It’s all love around here! We have a big garden with lots of shade and a pool if they love water! We give lots of duffle and treats :)

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.

The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred East Northamptonshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 Northamptonshire 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
