“Lara was fantastic she kept us updated with photos . We wanted Lara to stay in our house while we were away. She was able to give our Cat his medication ( not easy !) and went above & beyond to make sure Truffle was happy .She took in our parcels .”
“Amelia was fantastic with our fur baby, Brodie. First of all, she was excellent at communicating with us from our initial enquiry through to the end of her pet sitting with Brodie. She sent lots of photos, followed instructions perfectly, wasn’t phased by potential rain and managed to get in a nice long walk with Brodie, and again communicated really well. We will definitely call on her again!”
“Seffie was great with Woody. I was kept up to date with messages and pictures. Looked like they had a great time together. Would be very happy booking with Seffie again!”
About: Hi! I’m Hollie, a 20 year old psychology student and proud owner of my Cavapoo, Ralph. Looking after Ralph has taught me the importance of providing pets with plenty of exercise, attention and love. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient and have a flexible schedule over the next few months, so I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently available throughout the week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to fit around your pet’s usual routine. Whether your pet needs a daytime walk, a drop-in visit for feeding and playtime, or care while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will always aim to stick to their normal routine. I provide all of my pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I’ll follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime or routines, and I’ll always treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll happily keep you updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind.
“We are first timers using Rover.com so were a little unsure how it would all work. We were handing over our home as well as our dog after all! We needn't have worried :) Ella was great. She took on board all we said about our rescued Staffy-X and her idiosyncrasies! We came home to a very relaxed, happy dog, after a twelve-hour house sit. Thank you so much Ella - we have already made another booking.”
“Our dog Archie, a Labrador mix rescue with a few challenges, immediately felt at ease with Dominika and we were reassured seeing that she could handle him. He had a wonderful time, enjoying plenty of walks. Dom was excellent at keeping us updated, sharing regular messages, photos and videos so we knew everything was going well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Couldn’t be more grateful to have found Jess. She helped us out at very short notice, coming to stay and look after our cat & dog. She left our home beautifully, and the boys very happy. I’d recommend her in a flash.”
“Jessica was brilliant from start to finish. She came to meet us and the dogs the day before, which really helped put us at ease, especially as this was our first time using a pet sitter. She was very patient and took on board all our instructions and tips (not always easy with a pining Ridgeback!), and she clearly looked after them really well. She kept us updated throughout the evening and was always prompt and clear in her communication. Polite, professional, and a genuinely lovely experience — we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Lauren was wonderful with our 16 month old cockapoo. He warmed to her right away and had a great day with her. Lauren shared regular updates, took him on a good walk and gave him lots of cuddles. Will definitely rebook! :)”
“Sally was amazing from start to finish. She looked after our 3 year old cockapoo Teddy in our home for a week while we were on holiday. Sally sent daily photos and updates about Teddy which were lovely to receive- he looked happy and as if he was enjoying himself in every photo! We will definitely be using Sally again as she is friendly, kind and reliable and was patient and understanding regarding Teddy’s special needs and anxieties. Thanks so much again Sally!”
“Leah came for a meet and greet with Reggie and for a walk with us first as Reggie can be quite nervous of new people. She was very friendly and great at building trust between her and Reggie. She had great communication and sent lots of photos during the day, we will book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11. I walk all the time and love to take dogs with me. I often house sit for friends when they go on holiday and need their pets looked after! I’m working part-time at the moment so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of pets. I go on long walks for photography and I love nature and a little furry company never hurts. A night in with a book and a pet by my side is my ideal night. I try to make pets feel comfortable by keeping to their usual routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and keep owners updated while they’re away.
“Megan and Harry were just amazing. They came to stay in our home with our two dogs and took the best care of them. They were able to keep our dogs in their own routine, and this meant, when we got home, they were calm, relaxed and happy. I had complete faith in Megan and Harry, Megan even has a animal first aid qualification, so I really did not worry for a minute as I new they were in safe hands. I am so pleased with how things went, Megan and Harry will be my go-to dog sitters from now on. I can't thank them enough!”
“Beau has been amazing and I would highly recommend. Our dog Dottie was loved and cared for so well whilst we were away. Beau sent us regular updates so we could see how much fun Dottie was having and how relaxed she was. Beau looked after Dottie in our home and we came back to an immaculate house and a very happy Dottie 😊. Massive thank you again to Beau 😊”
“Just amazing. Kayleigh and Jacob looked after our dog Summer so well. Great communication throughout the day with lots of pics and videos, and we came home to a very happy and relaxed dog. It was particularly comforting to know Summer was being so well looked after given we've just moved and it has been quite stressful for her. It was so lovely to see her warm up to her new friends so quickly. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

From our first contact to a ‘debrief’ call after, Ross was professional and reliable, and made us feel confident that our dogs would be looked after well. He was happy to see come over before hand to meet the dogs, and us. While we were away we loved the regular photo updates and could see both dubs were happy and at ease with Ross and Courtney. House also was spotless when we got home. Really appreciated the feedback afterwards too. Thank you so much for looking caring for our pouches so well! Will definitely use again.
Holly was the perfect cat sitter for us — proactive, responsible, and communicative. She followed our instructions for Pushkin perfectly, and we soon relaxed into our holiday in the knowledge that he was in really good hands. We came back to a very smug and satisfied cat, and a very tidy home, which we truly appreciate! Would definitely recommend Holly to other cat owners, and we will definitely book Holly again.
Margo is a loving warm an caring person. She looked after my beagle boy for 2 weeks. She sent regular updates and news on his general wellbeing. I loved how she got to know him and commented on his unique behaviours and habits. I will definitely use her services again. Thank you Margo and Max.
I had a wonderful experience with Johanna. She was so thoughtful and came by a few days beforehand to meet my puppy, which really put me at ease. During her time with my pup, Johanna very kindly sent pic updates, and clearly is a natural with dogs. I came home to a happy puppy and couldn’t be more grateful. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter 🐶
Maya is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter / house sitter. She took care of my special needs dog with utmost consideration and patience. She is kind and friendly. My dog loved her from the moment she met her! We are grateful for Maya and will absolutely welcome her back to our home to take care of our girl.
Jenna looked after Pickle and Taco (and our home) for 10 nights. Pickle is relatively low maintenance but Taco has anxiety and is VERY vocal, which can be tricky to deal with. Jenna handled Taco's issues with compassion, patience and understanding - showing a great deal of empathy in the process and making us feel a lot better about leaving him with a 'stranger'. She was proactive in finding new ways to help settle him down and never once complained. She was communicative the entire time, sending plenty of updates and responding in a timely manner. We had told her in advance she was welcome to have guests over but she still checked in to make sure it was okay before having anyone over. There was also a day where she needed to be out of the house for an extended period, during which she kindly had her mom stop by to check on the cats and make sure Taco had his medication. We came back to two healthy, happy cats and a clean house that had clearly been looked after. All in all, we are very happy with the service and would gladly book Jenna again (in fact, we have already!)
Lewis looked after our two boxers who are high energy one who is currently only 6 months and the other is only just two. Lewis was amazing, reliable and looked after them only how I could have wanted. He provided us with photos and updates for the 4 days we were away. The boys loved him. Lewis also looked after are home impeccably. I have no qualms in rebooking him or recommending him. He was brilliant.

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.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
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 Elmbridge 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 Elmbridge 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. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
