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
“Jasmine stepped in at last minute and will such short notice she was still able to come across the day before to meet myself and my dog, Pasha. Jasmine kept me updated with lots of pictures which is always so nice to receive when out. Will definitely use her again.”
“Our cat is super nervous with new people but he clicked with Lina straight away, he was a little naughty whilst we were away and Lina jumped straight into action to resolve his antics!! We are excited to have found someone who can take care of Arlo in our own home whilst we are away, will absolutely be forever booking in with Lina, thank you! x”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my parents ran a small dog-sitting business, which gave me hands-on experience from a young age. During school holidays, I regularly walked 2 to 4 dogs at a time, learning how to safely manage different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—it was hard work but so much fun! Through my regular walking, I caught the attention of a local business owner. He noticed my confidence with different breeds and multiple dogs at once, and trusted me to walk his lovely Staffordshire Bull Terrier for several years. Today, I continue my passion for pet care by looking after my neighbor's dog during the week while she is at work, providing both daytime company for him and plenty of exercise. I am a keen walker who genuinely loves being outdoors, and it would be an absolute joy to walk your dog or pet-sit to keep them happy and safe. I am also happy to spend time with older dogs at a pace that suits them, whether its a short stroll or a bit of company/playtime. I currently work part time as a nurse, which gives me great flexibility during the week for walks and for pop in visits with occasional weekend availability too. I love getting out for fresh air and making sure your pet gets plenty of fuss, belly rubs, playtime, and company :) Your dogs safety and comes first. From experience, I always keep dogs on a lead when on a walk until we’ve built up trust and have bonded. When visiting your home to collect or pick up your dog, i'll ensure i follow your instructions and adhere to your normal routine as much as possible! I’ll wipe muddy paws, top up the water bowl and send you a photos if you would like! If you're not home i'll make sure your pup is cosy and your home secure before i leave.
“Alexandra was great. They communicated all throughout the time spent visiting. Leo was kind enough to show up and say hello. Will use again and encourage others to do so as well.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a young age. The love has passed on to my children who also love looking after and caring for animals..bathing , feeding , walking and playing . I’m currently on leave from my job so I can fit in pet care easily and a lot more flexible. I can do boarding and walking as I have an enclosed garden and nature walks in my area I have a fenced garden so plenty of space and security for your pet. I can easily crate your pet if needed in my home
“Lin was lovely with my 12 week old puppy. She stayed with her for 2 hours while I visited a friend - they played and snuggled on the sofa. Lin has a lovely attitude to dogs, she's very gentle and Tilly absolutely loved her new play buddy. Thank you Lin!”
“Amazing once again!! second time anna has accommodated a late request which is so helpful for me and my fiancé who love to plan spontaneous trips. our girl is also a big fan!! will always recommend to anyone needing a sitter😊”
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: 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.

“Rachel did an amazing job keeping me updated with how things were going and sent me photos of very happy dogs. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge thank you to Josie for helping with my dog while I was away! She popped in to keep her company, let her out for toilet breaks and took her for little walks around the block. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. super reliable and clearly loves dogs — would definitely recommend! 🐾”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have my own. I know the importance of a routine and their comfort, their individual needs such as needing space or wanting to cuddle. I’m comfortable with administering flea, tick and worm treatments, and currently looking into dog/animal first aid. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I have lots of time for walks and sitting in the evenings or early mornings, especially during the summer. Weekends are a lot more flexible, and happy to walk dogs who get on with others as I have my own. I’ll always ask owners first but happy to provide solo walks if preferred. In my own home, I have an enclosed garden and live with a very friendly and social cocker spaniel. Indoors, I have a separate kitchen and living room, allowing for space for dogs if they stay. My dog sleeps in a crate in the kitchen which has a baby gate so separation can be provided if necessary. Very friendly neighbourhood with parks and good green parks available for walks close by.
“Caitlyn is very kind and attentive! Took great care of our cat while we were away. She spent generous amount of time playing and cuddling with our kitty, and we couldn’t be more thankful to her :)”

Bryanna is a friendly, conscientious and trustworthy person who managed to get my 15 year old timid cat to allow her to pet and play with her. She is patient and kind and took on board all my requests perfectly. She sent videos, pictures and updates everyday. I will definitely want to book her again.
Leo has been a pleasure to work with. He has clearly bonded with my rather shy, timid cat and engaged with her so she has come out of her shell with him. He has always respected the instructions left. I will certainly ask for Leo when I next need cat care services.
Lin was absolutely amazing, she was an amazing cat sitter for my very nervous cat. She managed to somehow warm him up to her and he also let her pet him in just three days. She sent me pictures and followed the guidance I provided well. She also kept me updated through out her visit. Would definitely book her again! Thank you Lin.
Ryan was prompt and very polite and clearly experienced with dogs. Elsa took to him immediately on meeting and gave him lots of wags and kisses. They enjoyed a play but he then got her to settle nicely as well. I'm already planning on booking Ryan again for a longer stay.

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

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!

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.
