About: I've looked after friends and neighbours dogs for over 15 years now as well as looking after my own dogs, I'm a qualified dog walker and currently training to be a dog groomer and have assisted in many puppy training classes. I can cater to your dogs specific needs and keep their routine, so their stay is enjoyable and relaxing. I'm a stay at home mum so spending time with pets fits my routine perfectly, my children are grown up and working full time although my youngest (17) is at farming college and loves dogs of all shapes and sizes I have a secure fenced rear garden and some excellent dog walks nearby, we're located in Fawkham on the edge of Longfield so have lots of countryside and woods to walk in.
“Alison has been amazing with our puppy Issy. From the moment Issy starts to walk towards her house she is excited and can't wait to spend the day with Alison, her family, also Mabel and Edie her 2 beautiful dogs. Alison provides good feedback and photos of Issy's fun day. I can go to work know that our little sausage is well cared for like she is one of their own. Thank you Alison”
About: Hi! I'm a devoted dog owner with a friendly 2-year-old Cockapoo, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. Having used dog sitting services myself, I know what owners expect: regular updates, plenty of attention, exercise, and most importantly, a safe and loving environment where their dog feels at home. I believe dogs thrive best with family life rather than kennels, so your pup will be treated as one of the family during their stay. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles on the sofa (if they're allowed!), or sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Every dog is different, and I'm happy to follow your instructions to ensure your pet receives the care they're used to. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home, and in between meetings usually take my dog for a walk as my house back out onto a field. I have an enclosed back garden with plenty of toys also for free play. They will also have my friendly 2 year old cockapoo for company I have an enclosed garden for free play and run around. I can crate your dog if they prefer this and am happy to follow any routine or feeding schedule you list out.
“I am so grateful to Courtney for looking after my little yorkie while we attended a close family funeral. He is a rescue and this was the first time he was not with family and i knew Max would be cared for. Thank you for all the great comms and pupdates and being so understanding when we were late collecting him. Max slept on your lap so i know he was happy, thanks again!”
About: I currently have a doggy who has been teaching more than I ever expected. It'd be great to have her around other dogs and improve her socialisation. I spend a lot of time at home so I generally have availability throughout the day, therefore, I'm able to be attentive and meet various needs. I have a fenced back garden and plenty of room in my house to accommodate larger animals. Easy access to open space for walking outside.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Gravesham commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee.
