“A big thank you to Olivia for looking after my cats. They were well looked after, pictures were even loaded up to the app for me to see. It was amazing to return home and my cats not be stressed out as they previously would have been if taken to a cattery. I will 100% do this again and use Olivia, she is polite professional and the right person looking after your pets!”
“As always, Joshua has been amazing! This time, I’ve asked if he could drop my husky at groomers and there were no issues at all! My baby is all happy and I can’t recommend Joshua enough! Booking again with no hesitation!”
“It was great to have Kirsty look after our two girls, she was very enthusiastic and lovely. Both cats gave her the seal of approval which can be difficult as one of them is very nervous of strangers. I would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Stephanie is always so good..when looking after Rupert, at such short notice. I always look forward in hearing how they’ve both got on with the daily updates. Rupert always looks so happy in all his photos on his report card.”
About: I studied animal management in college where I took care of domesticated animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. I volunteered at a stables and took care of larger animals and did my work experience at 2 vet clinics, taking care of both sick and healthy cats and dogs. I'm currently a university student in Newport so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your beloved pets. I also don't work right now so I don't need that long of a notice. I am able to provide complicated service at your home where your pet will feel the most comfortable. With a notepad and pen, I'm sure to provide excellent care.
“Tamsyn has been a dream and made our trip away amazing! Tamsyn has not looked after a pair of house rabbits before and she took everything in her stride. They are a messy pair, very demanding and Tamsyn did a perfect job. I have no hesitation in recommending her to look after any pet at all. Just fantastic and kept the kitchen so tidy and spotless with two very demanding rabbits. An amazing job and is highly recommended. Thank you so much Tamsyn xxxx”
“Can’t thank Lauren enough for looking after our cats and tortoise whilst we went away. She was extremely flexible and went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after and given plenty of company . Updates were great and our cats settled with her straight away! Highly recommend x”
“Saffron was very reliable and looked after Oakley well. We received regular updates after every visit and the photos were also reassuring. I would definitely ask Saffron to look after Oakley again in the future. Oakley also enjoyed her company.”
About: My partner and I have been raised alongside furry friends our entire lives, sadly we lost our pet of 14 years a while ago and whilst we are not ready to have another of own just yet, we do have a lot of love, snuggles and care to give whilst your away from them. I currently work from home so have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. If required, we can provide 3 walks per day with frequent toilet breaks during the day in a secured walled/fenced large garden. The morning walk will be before 08:0 with a walk at lunch (20 mins) and a longer walk in the evenings once my partner Martin returns home. We have parks locally and some fantastic long walks around Thrapston lakes. We have looked after a variety of dogs (and cats) and totally understand that every dog is different with their unique quirks, needs, wants and levels of attention, every visit is tailored to their needs whether just for the day or boarding overnight. We will ensure your dog is cared for as if our own and provide video/picture updates if required. I have completed a CPD Dog First Aid course and we have a doggie first aid kit on hand for any emergencies. I also have Pet Business Insurance with Protectivity, please ask if you would like to see a copy of the policy. The day would start with a walk before work (before 08:00) then your pets would be settled with me whilst I work from home. They will have access to the whole house and can lay peacefully on the couch in my study or in their own comfy beds if they want company or can retreat into their own space and watch the world go by out of the bay windows in the lounge. They would have frequent toilet/play breaks, lots of fussing and attention and a short lunchtime walk before a longer evening walk after work. My partner and co carer, Martin will join us on this evening walk which is usually taken around the local lakes or nearby parks. Snuggles and playtime in the evening before final toilet break, treat and bedtime. I have a fenced and walled garden which is totally secure, we currently do not have any pets of our own so yours will be our priority and we will only take pets from the same family in one booking. We will only bored dogs that have completed a meet & greet and the opportunity to walk on lead. This to make sure both your dog is as happy with us as we are with them. Whilst we will always try to accommodate a home from home experience and have toys/beds/treats available please ensure you pack their favourite toy/blanket or even an item of clothing that gives comfort to your pooch whilst your gone.
About: I've always loved dogs since I was a child and grew up with two Rottweilers. We've had my family dog for 8 years now and am often left in his care. I have looked after dogs for large periods of time and have fed, bathed, walked and given medication before. I love being outside and especially with a canine companion! I currently am not working and so have loads of time to look after you pooch or take them for lovely long walks. I do have some family commitments but if you drop me a message we can usually get something arranged for you! I'll walk on open routes such as fields and town areas with your dog on lead and will sometimes be accompanied by my dog unless you wish for your dog to be walked alone!
About: I am the proud owner of 3 beautiful dogs. I have primarily taken care of them for over 9 years and recently began caring for friends and family’s pets. I love new adventures and meeting new fluffy friends and would be honoured to take care of your pets! I currently work part time and study so my availability is limited to mainly afternoons and evenings with the occasional morning free within the weekday. I am very adaptable and so can provide harnesses, leads etc if needed. I drive and so would be more than happy to transport your fluffy companion to an alternative location for better quality walks/play dates!
About: I love all doggies! 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 :)
About: I’ve had dogs as part of my family since the age of 10 so I am well aware of the needs and attention a dog can need. I have dog sat for neighbours in the past as well as dog walking for a local kennels. I’m an avid animal lover dedicating my life to getting an animal related degree and now working with animals full time. I work a 8-4 job so am available most evenings and weekends. I also have every 3 Monday and Fridays off work so am available in the day some weekdays. I have a 4 year old cockapoo living at home so the house is dog proof and always full of toys to play with. It has now become a habit to always see my dogs in the corner of my eye so I can care for all their needs at the right moment.

Wonderful dog sitter! We are so happy with the care our dog received. Michaela was absolutely great with him — calm, kind, and very attentive. When we returned, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly very comfortable in her care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

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.
