About: Hi, I’m Denise, a caring and reliable pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with dogs and cats, including rescue dogs, and have experience looking after dogs for friends and housemates, from walks and overnight stays to caring for them while their owners are away. I’m naturally very outdoorsy, so I love taking dogs on long walks where needed. I currently work part-time as a support worker with young adults with learning disabilities, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I treat every dog as if it were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m happy to look after high-energy dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I also have experience with puppies, nervous dogs, and rescue dogs. I have public liability insurance too, so you can have that extra peace of mind. I’d love to look after your dog and make sure they have a happy, fun and comfortable time while you’re away 🐾 I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits! I currently work part-time as a support worker, so I have plenty of flexibility. My schedule changes weekly, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages if you ask for it so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t offer pet sitting in my own home at the moment, but I’m happy to travel anywhere within 30 miles

About: Thanks to my dear friend Silvia, probably you know her, I started to think in start my new journey taking care of other people's family members. I have been around pets most of my life, and recently I started to share time with my beautiful neighbour Willow, so she taught me so much about cats. I am new and willing to learn all about it. Thanks for the trust! See you soon. I'm currently working part-time in the evenings from M to F, so I have plenty of time. Just contact me, and we can arrange it. Open to listening to your needs and seeing what I can do. I can offer sitting at home and also walking on the green; I can also walk and use a bicycle to reach your place.

About: Hi! I’m currently a postgraduate student living in the UK. I’m quite a calm and patient person, and I really enjoy spending quiet time with animals 🐱🐶 I once rescued a stray cat and took care of it for about 6 months, so I understand the responsibility of feeding, cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have some experience with dog walking, and I’m always gentle and attentive when looking after pets. As a student, my schedule is quite flexible during the week. I’m happy to follow your routines carefully and send updates, so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. I may not have years of experience, but I will genuinely care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m available in the mornings from 7–9am (Monday to Friday), evenings from 5:30–9:30pm (Tuesday to Friday), and I have full availability on Saturdays. I try to be flexible whenever possible, so feel free to message me to discuss your needs! When caring for pets in your home, I will make sure to respect your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I will try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m a clean and tidy person, and I will make sure everything is left as I found it. I’m also happy to send updates and photos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have grown up in a household surrounded by animals - dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles and horses! I also have hands on experience pet sitting. I’ve house sat for extended periods where I looked after a Golden Retriever and on a separate occasion I cared for two Black Labradors. Alongside dogs, I’ve also lived with and cared for cats, so I’m comfortable looking after feline friends too. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’m always happy to follow specific instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules or just keeping them company, I’m committed to making sure they’re well looked after while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. If you’d like to arrange a meet and greet or have any questions, feel free to get in touch. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home in a flexible role, which means I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, and keeping pets company. I do occasionally go into the office, but I always plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care are happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Outside of work, I love being active and outdoors - especially at the weekends, when you’ll usually find me out for long walks by the beach or heading into town for a coffee. I’d be more than happy to include a dog in those adventures (if they enjoy it!) or tailor the day to suit their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s individual needs and follow instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free for them, as I would want someone to look after my own pet! I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners can feel confident and reassured.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs cats and horses so am very comfortable around all kinds of animals. I have precious experience house sitting and looking after puppies, and I’m confident caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I am patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals whatever that may be, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m currently at university looking to do pet sitting alongside my studies. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and in your home, and I’ll always treat your animals as if they were my own. I am studying at Exeter University and am looking to do pet sitting alongside my studies, this means I’m available for evenings, overnight stays, dog walks during the day around my academic hours and weekend care as well, I am very good at time management and can be flexible with my hours. Whilst I cannot offer stays at my home due to living in a student house which doesn’t allow pets (unfortunately!) I am very happy to provide pet sitting in the owner’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar surroundings and follow their usual routine. I’m happy to care for pets in whatever way suits them best, including feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company. I’ll always follow owner’s instructions carefully and make sure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Hello, We are Hannah and Sam and we've been full time global petsitters for over 3 years, from house cats in Dubai to Beagles in India. Now we are back in Exeter and want to continue our love for petsitting. We’ve been fortunate to receive many lovely reviews from pet owners who appreciate our attentive care, regular updates, and the bond we build with their pets which we are happy to share upon request! There are two of us on the profile, so your pet gets double the attention, double the love and double the care! It also means should an unforeseen event occur where one of us can't make it, you can rest easy knowing the other person can still manage the booking. Sam and I both grew up with dogs and have a deep understanding of what it takes to keep them comfortable and content. Whether it’s playing games, engaging in fun enrichment activities, or taking them on exciting walks, we treat every dog as if they are our own by making sure they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you're away! We are both local to Exeter so know of all the safe and fun walks. A dog’s routine is incredibly important to us, we find that sticking to their usual schedule keeps them happiest. Whether it's mealtime, walk times, or bedtime, we work around their routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. As I am self employed our schedule can align to theirs. Also, if house sitting they would have company and lots of attention throughout the day. We believe that communication is key, especially when it comes to your pet’s well-being. If we notice any changes in their behaviour or something seems off, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring you always know how they’re doing. We have experience administering medication, including pills and topical treatments, and have cared for senior dogs, including those with hearing impairments. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a little patience, or simply their usual routine, we’re committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in our care.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I work full-time but over three condensed days, which means I have plenty of time during the rest of the week to dedicate to dog walking, sitting, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I share my life with a rescue dog who is incredibly friendly and has never met another dog he didn’t like. We spend our days off exploring all kinds of places together—coastal paths, woodlands, beaches, as well as towns, villages, shops, and dog-friendly cafés. I understand how important enrichment, exercise, and socialisation are for a happy, well-balanced dog. I have a particular passion for rescue dogs and believe every dog deserves a fulfilling, loving life, regardless of their start. I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s high-energy adventures or a calmer, more relaxed pace. I’ve looked after many friends’ dogs over the years, from regular walks to overnight stays, and I always treat them as if they were my own. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog go home happy, content, and tired after a fun day. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about dogs to look after your pet, I’d love to help. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time over three condensed days, which means I have several days each week fully available for dog walking and sitting. My schedule is known up to 8 weeks in advance, so I can plan ahead and accommodate bookings where possible. On my days off, I usually start the day with a morning walk between 9–10am, lasting at least an hour. In good weather, this can turn into longer outings of several hours, with breaks for rest, water, and lunch. I also provide a shorter, calmer evening walk around 6pm for 20–30 minutes. Dogs in my care have regular access to the garden for toilet breaks throughout the day, and I always ensure a final toilet break around 9pm before settling in for the night. I’m happy to adapt my routine depending on each dog’s needs, whether they prefer longer adventures or a more relaxed pace. I provide a safe, relaxed, and home-from-home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. In my home, dogs are welcome in all areas and can choose where they feel most comfortable—whether that’s on the sofa or in their own bed in the lounge. I have a fully secure, fenced garden with no external access, so they can safely enjoy time outside whenever needed. I don’t use crates, but I may be able to accommodate one for smaller dogs if that’s part of their usual routine. For overnight stays, dogs are welcome upstairs and can sleep on my bed or in the spare room—whatever helps them feel most settled and secure. Although my own dog is not food reactive, I always feed dogs separately to ensure they each eat their own meals safely and at their own pace. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I am very respectful of routines and house rules. I would need to bring my own friendly, well-socialised dog with me, and I’m happy to follow your preferences—whether that’s keeping dogs off furniture or maintaining specific routines.

Isobel did a fantastic job looking after our kitten for two days. Communication was excellent throughout, and she kept us updated with photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our kitten was happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isobel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you!

About: Fully insured and DBS checked. I'm an experienced pet sitter, dog walker and a massive animal lover, looking to extend my surrogate furry family! Having grown up around both dogs and cats, I know what a special place they hold in the family home and I really enjoy getting to know their different personalities, favourite games, little quirks and making them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I've had more than three years professional experience of house and pet sitting I have loved and looked after a range of different animals from lively puppies, goofy spaniels, elderly cats and cuddly labradors My dog sitting style is pretty relaxed but firm. If there are any commands or ongoing training you'd like me to continue with, then just let me know 🙂 I work Monday–Thursday, 9–5. I’m available for long weekends and overnight sits, and for longer bookings where pets are happy being left during the workday (e.g., most cats) or if you have a daytime dog-walker in place. Evenings and early mornings are covered by me I currently offer house sitting, day care in your home and dog walking around Exeter and the surrounding area. I only accept one booking at a time so you can be sure your pooch will be getting all my attention! I'd love to meet up for a walk and get to know you and your fur baby. Can't wait to hear from you!

We “found” Denise in August as we were going away for 3 days to a family wedding in London. There was no way to take George, our Border Collie, Denise came round beforehand to meet him and impressed us with her calm nature and ability to deal with a very enthusiastic George. She has loads of experience with bigger dogs and he got on with her immediately. While we were away she kept us thoroughly updated with texts, photos and videos and also fed our cat. We were so impressed with Denise’s work we asked her to come again for one nights birthday away day/ night. We will absolutely be asking her to help us out again.

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 Exeter 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 Exeter 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 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.
