About: I’ve walked my sisters dog every week for the past 3 years, also helped my mums dog attend puppy classes and learnt a lot from these lessons I’m currently working a flexible schedule and usually having two days off together really helps. I’m more than happy to stay with the dog if I’m free to do so I usually take my sisters dog for an hour long walk and the. At home feed and and wash him before he then snoozes in his bed
“Olivia, was a star, after being let down last minute over the festive period, Olivia was able to take on the job and able to meet the needs for my German shepherd, sounds like he had an amazing time and Olivia took good care of him, highly recommend, if anyone needs a good reliable sitter, will definitely use Olivia again”
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!
“I highly recommend Joshua. He is a very competent pet sitter, he followed all my instructions and he loves animals. Next time I’ll book him again for my pets. Thank you for your patience and your help.”
“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.”
“Molly was great, she was keen to do an intro meet and great and kept us updated with every visit. Everything was left clean and tidy with all used tins etc thrown away and the kitchen left nice and clean, which is so important in this hot weather. Our cats seemed very happy. Will use again”

I have a deep love for animals, while I don't have pets of my own right now due to living in a pet-free flat, I will channel all my animal-loving energy into looking after yours! I am active, trustworthy, and fully focused on making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Why Choose Me? I grew up around animals and feel completely confident handling different breeds, energy levels, and personalities. Because I cannot bring pets to my home, my focus is entirely on your turf.

Every evening during the week I am available to walk your pet or house sit. Then on weekends I remain completely open and available to any requests. I will always follow the advice given by the pet owner to ensure the normal care is continued. This includes keeping to the pets same routine, and rules to ensure the pet feels relaxed in its own environment, as well as safe.
“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”

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.

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!

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
