Catherine has been amazing from the get go. I didn’t expect my cat to come out at all but Catherine built a great relationship with him and he looked happy in all the pictures and videos she sent across of him. Catherine will be my first call whenever I need help with Muezza!

Richard was great with our nervous labradoodle Daisy - very understanding and gave her lots of space and she responded really well to him. Richard was very communicative and easy going whilst organising the drop in and hope to book another visit soon!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always had a real passion for their welfare and care. I have two dogs of my own, both of whom I’ve trained and care for myself, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Alongside caring for my own dogs, I’ve looked after many cats and a variety of other animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, budgies, and more. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds and always take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I genuinely believe every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. As a vegetarian, ethical animal care is something I value deeply, and I always aim to provide the same love, attention, and high standard of care that I’d want for my own pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently started work from home which allows me to give your pet the attention and affection it deserves and needs. I can provide lots of outside time if needed or just company for nervous pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements so they feel as relaxed and secure as possible while you’re away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, tidy, and secure. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection, while sticking closely to their normal routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I aim to give you complete peace of mind through reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I love animals and loveee walkies! I like to be a special part of their day and make it enjoyable as possible. Our lives are short but theirs are shorter! I love to do Rover when I can as I enjoy being around animals and taking care of them! I currently have my dog (Sammy) and my cat (Storm). I will make sure your pets are loved. For my pets and anyone else’s I will do everything in my heart to make them feel loved. I will do exactly as you ask me on the visits. I will make sure they eat, drink and play! Or have a clean litter box for the kitties or daily walk for the doggos! I’m currently a university student studying primary education. So there’s plenty of time for lots of playing, cuddles, walkies and treatssss!! I like to give them energy outbursts so they are sleepy later. Let me know if you have any special requests or needs to knows. For example disabilities or medication needed. What they like and don’t like…etc.

About: I'm an active, reliable dog lover with over 40 years of hands on experience caring for dogs. I offer a safe, caring home where dogs receive plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I know that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I always tailor our care to suit their needs. I are happy to follow feeding schedules, dietary requirements, medication instructions and walking routines to help your dog feel comfortable and settled. I have my own dog, Bruce, a friendly and well trained 4 year old Australian Labradoodle who is sociable and enjoys the company of other dogs. He is used to meeting new furry friends and helps make our home a welcoming place for visiting dogs. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime or simply being around people, I will make sure they are well cared for and treated like part of the family. I also understand how important communication is, so I'm happy to provide updates for peace of mind while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because I'm an active family and already structure our day around walks, exercise, feeding and time with our own dog, Bruce. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, companionship and outdoor time, while keeping to their usual routine as closely as possible. I provide a safe, calm and caring home where dogs are treated like part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, temperament and any specific needs, including feeding, exercise and sleeping arrangements. I have a large fenced garden for dogs to run around in a secure setting. I supervise introductions carefully, keep owners updated and always focus on making dogs feel secure, comfortable and well cared for.

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.

Lara was amazing! My cat is really shy and generally doesn't come close to people and within a couple of days she managed to get him to like her. Because we had just moved, I was a little nervous about him being left alone, but Lara's daily updates and pictures and sometimes videos made my holiday a lot better, I could relax about him, knowing he was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Lara for petsitting!

The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Elmbridge pet parents with similar pet households.

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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
