Catherine has been able to help out at short notice for a few dates in January. She took time out of her Sunday to come round and meet my dogs in advance, which was really kind of her and helped to put my mind at rest for my first time using Rover. During the visit itself she sent photos and updated me to let me know that all was well. Thanks so much for your help Catherine!

Seffie looked after our cat Gus for 3 days. We would definitely book her again, communication was regular and she gave detailed report cards of how Gus had been with photos etc.. Seffie also cleaned up after Gus and left everything super tidy. Thank you so much, Seffie. X

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!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and have always loved being around animals. I regularly look after my parents’ two dogs and have experience with dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I particularly love terriers and sighthounds, but I’m a big fan of all dogs! I’m happy going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles or just keeping them company and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I regularly look after my parents’ two dogs. I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime and giving them plenty of attention. I also have flexibility in my week to fit in walks and pet visits around my schedule. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe and settled, whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions from the owner.

About: I’m a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have plenty of experience caring for different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I feel confident handling a wide range of needs. I’m based in a family home and have a toddler who absolutely adores dogs. We often spend time outdoors, enjoying walks and visiting the park where we can say hello to the neighbourhood dogs. It is very important that any dog in my care must be comfortable around young children and have a gentle temperament. Your pet’s safety, routine, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll treat your dog like part of our family. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away, and I’m always open to discussing your pet’s specific needs to ensure the best possible care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work full-time but am home two days during the week, where I’m able to provide more consistent companionship, walks, and supervision throughout the day. On weekdays when I’m working, I ensure pets are settled, comfortable, and have everything they need before I leave, with quality time, walks, and attention in the mornings and evenings. I’m available for boarding over weekends, when I can offer plenty of time, longer walks, and lots of attention as part of our family routine. We enjoy getting outdoors, so dogs in my care will benefit from regular fresh air and exercise. I’m happy to be flexible where possible and will always prioritise your pet’s routine, comfort, and wellbeing. Please feel free to message me to discuss specific needs or schedules! I have a fully fenced garden, giving dogs a secure outdoor space to enjoy fresh air and playtime. We’re also within walking distance of a lovely park and forest, so your dog will benefit from regular walks in calm, green surroundings. I have a toddler who is very gentle and used to being around dogs, so any pets staying with us should be comfortable around young children and have a calm, friendly temperament. All interactions are always closely supervised to ensure a safe and positive environment.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a lovable family dog that quickly became my best friend. Since then, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends, family, and even former bosses, whenever someone needs a reliable, caring hand, I’m there. These days, your dog will be looked after by both me and my partner Caleb, which means double the affection, playtime, and attention! It’s important your dog is comfortable with men too. I know that leaving your dog with someone new can feel stressful (for both you and them). My mission is to make their time away feel like a retreat: full of love, calm, fun, and plenty of one-on-one care. Whether that’s long walks in nature, riverside runs or just lazy cuddle time at home, I tailor each day to your dog’s mood and needs. I’m a very active person who loves the outdoors, so if your dog enjoys exercise and adventure, they’ll be right at home with me. But I also know when to slow things down and just be a calm, reassuring presence. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, but since I currently live in a flat, I’m best suited to care for small to medium-sized dogs. Most of my experience is with cockapoos and doodle breeds, but I’m open to any dog, as long as we’re the right fit for each other. I also understand how important structure and routine are. I always respect your training style and maintain consistency, so your dog feels safe, secure, and happy. With me (and Caleb), your pup will be in loving, capable hands, ,and hopefully feel like they’ve had a little holiday of their own while you’ve been away. I’m a marketing professional working full-time, primarily from home, but with occasional days in our London office. With enough notice I can look after your dog during weekdays or weekends. I currently live in an apartment with a fenced balcony. I’m also a 2 min walk away from a big park where I’d happily take your dog for regular walkies

Lexi took great care of Mango, our cat, for a few days of our trip. She was incredibly punctual, reliable, and followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly. She kept us updated throughout her visits, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing Mango was well looked after. I highly recommend her!

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: I have volunteered with animal shelters and charities since the age of 14 I currently work for a separate pet sitting company local to my area but I am looking to branch out on my own I am an animal fanatic, owning 11 pets myself and always ensure that your pets are treated like my own, with plenty of tender loving care 💕 I am in full time education and have a part time job at a local football club. Otherwise I’m available before school, afterschool and on the weekends around the same times. Half terms and during exam season I am completely free I usually feed clients early in the morning around 7am ish and later at night around 6pm ish to fit within my schedule. This lets me ensure all animals receive the attention they deserve and it means that no animals are over looked. I take safety very seriously ensuring all homes and pets are left the way I found them. I aim to try and build bonds with the pets to help reduce stress and I like to meet the pets first so I am a semi- familiar face when the time comes to caring for them

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 am a Registered Veterinary Nurse that works night shifts at an emergency clinic. I became a Student Veterinary Nurse in 2017, qualified in 2020 and have been working in a veterinary practice for 10 years. I have plenty of experience handling and treating all kinds of pets in practice; including geriatric and young animals, healthy and pets requiring medical treatment. I regularly walk some dogs in the area and love using my free days off and days in between shifts walking and caring for other pets. As for personal experience I have always had dogs and cats growing up, and now have two indoor cats of my own. So I know how pets are considered family members and are a vital part of family life. I work night shifts so have lots of time during the day to care for pets. I work a pattern of 2 nights shifts on and 2 or 3 nights off. I already have a few dogs I regularly walk and I really enjoy being outside and getting fresh air on my days off. I always follow owner’s instructions as to how they would like me to leave their pets and their home carefully. Their pets safety is my priority.

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

  • 88% 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.
