“Annie was amazing with Gyda and Floki. They both seemed so happy and well looked after when I got home. She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

“Sarah looked after my cats with lots of care and attention. Although one of them was sick whilst she was looking after them, she dealt with it and let me know straight away so I wasn’t worried at all. Really fantastic and I would recommend to anyone!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals — from dogs and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters — and can’t imagine life without them. I got my cockapoo, Kylo, as a puppy during lockdown and was fully responsible for her training, socialisation, and care. She’s now 4 years old, friendly, affectionate, and loves company. Raising her from a puppy taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding different temperaments — especially as she can be a little anxious and has a sensitive tummy. I know how to create calm, structured routines that help pets feel secure and confident. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs and cats, including those with specific diets or anxious personalities, and I always focus on finding the right balance of play, enrichment, and rest so every pet feels happy, stimulated, and relaxed. I work as a primary school teaching assistant during term time, which means I’m available for pet care on weekends and throughout school holidays. My role requires patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach—qualities I naturally bring into caring for animals too. Outside of school hours, I have the time and energy to dedicate to walks, playtime, and companionship, ensuring your pet feels safe, cared for, and well looked after. I live in a secure town house with plenty of space and open fields right outside — perfect for walks and fresh air. Pets in my care are treated like family, and I make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and calm from the moment they arrive. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, and downtime to keep everything consistent. You’ll always receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands.

“We have 7 dogs (yes 7!) 5 of which are Romanian Rescues (and a cat) . Our Rescues are nervous dogs and some are reactive with both dogs and people . Ella is fantastic ! She has a calm aura and can ‘read’ and understand dogs such that ALL our dogs feel comfortable with her . We feel confident that we can go away on holiday and not have to worry which is absolutely amazing ! She’s also great at managing behaviour issues and can give lots of advice and tips. Highly recommend her *****”

“Sian has been visiting Odie for some weeks now and all is going very well. It was wonderful to see how quickly he took to her and I come home to a happy and calm boy, for which I am extremely thankful. Sian was very accommodating when plans had to change at my end and was also very helpful suggesting someone to cover for her when she wasn't able to visit.”


About: Owned and worked with a range of breeds for over 30 years including uniformed public services. Currently have a young pup in training! I work from home so have a high amount of availability. I work from home 4-5 days a week so have a flexible diary - I can be available from early morning until evening time for drop in or walks. I work in a professional manner when visiting your home and will follow your strict instructions, whether dropping in or walking. I am a calm and experienced dog owner and have worked with a range of breeds from terriers to mastiffs and Newfoundlands! I will treat your dog as if it were my own!
“Fay did a great job looking after Mokosz during her drop-in visits. She kept me updated, sent photos and a detailed report from both visits, which was really reassuring. Mokosz was calm and happy when I got back home, and it was clear she had been well looked after. Fay followed all instructions perfectly and even made thoughtful decisions where needed. I’d definitely be happy to book with her again. Highly recommended!”


About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy caring for them and making sure they are happy, safe and well looked after. I currently loan a horse, who I have cared for for the past year, which has given me valuable experience with the responsibility, consistency and commitment involved in caring for an animal. Although I am new to offering dog walking professionally, I am responsible, patient and confident around animals. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines and personalities, and I would always follow an owner's instructions carefully. I am looking to build my experience with dogs through Rover with the long-term goal of eventually having a dog of my own. I want to gain a better understanding of different breeds, personalities and routines while providing a reliable and caring service to owners. I am active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I would genuinely enjoy. My priority is always making sure every dog in my care is safe, happy and gets plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I currently work mainly evening shifts, usually starting around 5pm, which gives me good availability during the daytime. On my days off, I have even more flexibility and can offer walks and pet visits throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally around my routine, as I can provide morning, late morning and afternoon walks or visits before I need to go to work. I can also offer some evening and weekend availability depending on my work rota. I am happy to work with each owner's routine and arrange bookings around their individual needs. I always allow enough time between visits so I can give every pet my full attention rather than feeling rushed. I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with animals, so I see pet care as something I would genuinely enjoy alongside my current job. My aim is to provide reliable, caring and flexible support that gives owners peace of mind while they are working or away. The safety and wellbeing of every pet in my care would always be my top priority. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets with someone they trust, so I would always take the time to understand each pet's individual needs, routine, personality and any specific instructions. For dog walks, I would make sure dogs are secure before leaving the property and follow the owner's preferences around leads, routes and interactions with other dogs. I would never take unnecessary risks and would keep dogs supervised throughout their walk. For home visits, I would make sure pets are comfortable in their familiar environment and that doors, gates and windows are secure before leaving. I would also follow feeding and care instructions carefully. I am responsible, patient and attentive, and I would always communicate with owners if I had any concerns. My aim is to create a safe, calm and positive experience for every pet while giving their owner complete peace of mind.
“Lily came round to take care of our two cats whilst we were away. Lily has been brilliant - quick to respond to any query I had (first time Rover user!), has kept me updated the whole time with feedback and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Lily to look after our cats again in the future! ☺️”

“We were so lucky to have found Amy to look after our fur babies. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and the cats were settled and relaxed when we returned home. We will definitely be using Amy to care for our cats again! ”

“Gabriella took amazing care of our wee Scratch. She sent plenty of photo and video updates and ensured he was well looked after for the duration of our holiday! I would definitely recommend and use again! Thank you ❤️”

About: I have been around animals all of my life, from dogs and cats, to bearded dragons, mice, gerbils, budgies and fish! There's nothing more I love than getting out in the fresh air with the pup and going off to explore. My dog Hollie is a Romanian rescue, who we've had since she was 6 months old (she's now 6). She is full of beans, absolutely adores her older bro's, and likes nothing more than to snuggle up on the sofa after a stroll down the canal path. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently work from home (but have flexible hours), so have total flexibility over visits, walks and playtime with your furry pals! At present I have up to 4 hours per day to cater for this, but will have additional availability over the summer months. I'm also available over most of the weekend. I have a large enclosed garden at home, but am lucky to be close to lots of open fields (and several secure fields, if required). Whether a walk, or a home visit, your pets safety and wellbeing will always my main priority.
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, had both cats and dogs - I am trusted take care of my family and friends dogs and cats when they go away. I have worked with dogs of all different sizes and breeds and I have also worked in my Auntie’s Cattery, all rescued and brought in. I am a University student and am in university Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, will free time inbetween lectures. Tuesday I have all day to visit, walk or just sit with your animals. Weekends I am free whenever to care. I listen to instructions and follow how you work with your animals so it is no different for them when I visit.

About: Hi, I'm Mo, a South-West England based dog and cat lover who has grown up around animals my whole life and currently cares for pets belonging to family and friends on a regular basis. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and looking after them isn't a side hustle I stumbled into, its an enjoyable experience for me too that gives fulfilment other side hustles do not provide. I offer dog walking, boarding at my home, drop-in visits and house sitting across inner London. Whether your dog needs a good long walk, or your pet needs some company during the day, or someone to stay with them while you're away, I'll make sure they're looked after with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I know how much your pet means to you and ,so I treat every dog/cat that I look after as if they were my own (like my cute cat Nova). I'm reliable, punctual, calm around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and communicative,so you'll never be left wondering how your dog is doing. I'm available flexibly across the week and can accommodate last-minute bookings where possible. I'd love to meet you and your pet before any booking, a quick meet and greet means we both feel confident from day one! I am usually working from home so I am home most days of the week during the mornings/ afternoons ,however I am able to accomodate for furry friends! Here's what a typical day looks like when I'm walking or boarding a dog: morning walks at a good pace with time to sniff and explore, regular updates and photos sent to you throughout the day, plenty of play and attention, and a calm, settled routine so your pet feels comfortable and at ease. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, which means safety and comfort are always the priority, not just during the booking but from the very first message. At my home (boarding and drop-ins): My home is a calm, clean and pet-friendly environment. I keep all potential hazards out of reach, ensure doors and gates are secure at all times and never leave a boarding dog unattended for extended periods. Pets staying with me have their own comfortable space to sleep and settle, access to fresh water at all times and a consistent daily routine to help them feel at ease quickly. I live in inner London with good access to local parks and green spaces for walks and exercise throughout the day. At a pet owner's home (house sitting and drop-in visits): I follow the owner's routine and instructions carefully and precisely: feeding schedules, medication if required, preferred walking routes, sleeping arrangements. I treat the home with full respect and discretion and communicate any concerns or changes immediately rather than waiting until the end of a booking. Communication: Pet owners receive regular photo and text updates throughout every booking so they can relax knowing exactly how their pet is doing. I never leave a client wondering. If anything changes or I have any concern about a pet's wellbeing, I reach out immediately and handle it calmly and responsibly. Meet and greet: I always encourage a meet and greet before any first booking. It gives your pet the chance to get comfortable with me, and it gives you the chance to see how I interact with them before committing. Transparency and trust from the start is how I work.

“Abbie was a great cat sitter. She made sure to visit before we went away and meet the cats and work out where everything she needed was. She visited as agreed, fed the cats and also spent time playing and interacting and playing with them. Plenty of photos and updates meant that we could get on and enjoy our holiday without any worries!”


About: Hi! I have nearly 10 years of experience working with and caring for rescue dogs, through both volunteering and professional roles in rescues. Having grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for animals and their wellbeing. I tailor every walk to your dog’s individual needs—whether it’s a gentle stroll for an elderly pup or one recovering from surgery, energetic playtime for puppies, or simply providing a safe and loving environment while you’re away. (Please note: pet sitting will be in your home, as I have a nervous dog of my own who needs space.) My skills include reading dog body language and caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments—whether nervous, excitable, anxious, or reactive. I’m confident supporting dogs with behavioural needs such as reactivity toward other dogs, prey drive, and I’m happy to use a muzzle when required. I also have experience helping dogs recover after surgery, providing enrichment suited to their age and breed, and ensuring exercise is always appropriate for their individual needs. In addition, I’m able to administer oral medication or meds given in food (no injections). I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels cared for, comfortable, and happy. Alongside Rover, I also run my own pet care business. While my Rover calendar may show availability, some time slots may already be booked by existing private clients. I always keep my calendar as up to date as possible and will confirm availability promptly once a request is made. I’m available most days, mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’ll happily fit walks or visits around your pet’s usual routine to keep them settled and happy Your pet’s safety comes first. I respect your home, follow instructions closely, secure environments, and provide gentle, attentive care so pets feel safe and happy.

Great experience with Annie. Our two young cats got on very well with her and she clearly made the time to stop and play and make a fuss of them as well as feed them. She also made an effort to go and find one locally when it hadn’t appeared for its food the day before. Comms were good too. Thanks Annie!

Alex did an amazing job looking after my cat Lily over Christmas. She gave Lily loads of attention and play time and Lily was jumping around after her toy in excitement - Lily clearly enjoyed it! 🥰 Alex took care of Lily’s individual routine and house rules and sent photos on each visit to show how Lily was doing. I have security cameras so I can see what happens on each visit, so I can’t stress enough the amount of effort Alex dedicated to Lily on each of her visits - she really worked hard to look after Lily and it was a joy to see how much quality time she had. 😄 Thanks Alex!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
