About: Hi, I’m Mickey! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, helping out neighbours, friends, and family with everything from daily walks to longer house stays. I started dog walking regularly while I was in college, and since then I’ve continued to look after dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I offer dog walking and dog sitting (including overnight stays), and I always make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I treat every dog like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you have peace of mind. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your dog! I’m currently working full time as well. I am able to be booked for walks but they will be later in the day. I am mainly going to be available for dog sitting at your home. Please be aware that I will be out of the house weekdays due to work but back at night. I will follow any instructions given to make sure your pet is as comfortable and safe as possible. I have house sat many times and know how to make sure a pet is comfortable.
“Thomas and Zoe house sat for us a second time over the long weekend. They really are fantastic! Their communication makes every holiday so stress free and we got some really lovely updates of our two dogs having a great time. They even went out of their way to get a pack of dog food when our food delivery got lost. I couldn’t recommended them more, we’ve had such a positive experience, they are reliable, thoughtful, and clearly wonderful with the dogs.”

“Thank you for housesitting for Peggy and Charlie. We came home to calm, happy pets and home and would highly recommend Anya. She bonded with our cat and dog, took note of their routines and kept us updated throughout. She is easy to communicate with and arrived punctually. In summary we are very comfortable trusting her to house sit and have already made a future booking. Thanks again Anya 😊”

“I highly recommend Liana for taking exceptional care of my dog, brilliant attention to detail. Thank you Liana. Spikie was delighted to see you again, a very happy boy, he had a good day. Great pictures throughout the sitting. Good to know the boy is in safe hands.”

“Fabulous 👌 the girls adored her and took to her from the initial visit. Very confident and kept us well informed as to the girls well-being. Lovely to see them relaxed and out walking after only 1 day”

“Laura was very lovely and looked after Baloo really well. She let us know when he was walked, fed and watered. She gave really thorough updates which we really appreciated and lots of photos. When she arrived she brought him a new toy which he loves and left us a really cute puppy calendar. We would definitely use her again !”


About: I have taken care of friends and family dogs over the years and currently have a cocker spaniel who is a ball of energy. I have looked after a variety of dogs such as French bulldogs, to sprniger spaniels and staffies, and also up to larger dog such as a vizla. I create a strong bond so they feel safe around me and in doing so this allows me to trust them that they will listen me on a walk or at home. I work from home 5 days a week so can be on hand to take care of your dog throughout the day whether that is at my house or at yours, if your dog would prefer a more familiar environment. Come the weekends im generally free and spend time with my wife and newborn son. I have a cocker spaniel at home who will happily play with your dog and I will take him with me on the walk to help burn off your dogs energy. On a walk I have an energetic cocker spaniel who is more than happy to play with your dog in a field. He just wants to chase and be chased and is extremely friendly. Alternatively if your dog likes a gentle stroll of the streets I am more than happy to accommodate. If im house sitting or popping in I will makes sure they have food and water and will always give them a fuss, good ear scratch and play with them to help burn some energy.
About: I grew up with dogs as much as I did with cats. My first experience was when I was two years old and visiting my home country. There I interacted with and befriended my family’s guard dogs. I kept this up through all my visits to my country as well as during my childhood in the UK. I spent a good chunk of my primary and secondary school days playing with the neighbours’ dogs and also got to look after two of the puppies while the neighbours were away. I then took on work experience at a vet where I got to see dogs every day and interact with them as a healthcare provider as well as a friend. I got to know dogs as patients and companions and learned a lot about their physiology, body language and communication quirks. I have always loved dogs and cats. In my domiciliary care experience, I have found myself taking care of patients and their pets. This has increased my experience and confidence in working with dogs. I have never met a dog that didn’t like me. I am a medical student with days on and off campus. Most of my time is spent at home, studying. I’m a homebody and rarely go out aside from school and grocery shopping. I can board your pet or visit your home to check on them. I am also available for house sitting if there is ample parking and I am close to my university campus. I live in a large house with lots of great hiding spots and high points. I also have a large fenced garden for your cat to play and bask in. There are several secure buildings on my property in case your cat requires a smaller, darker or lower foot traffic area. My cats live in the main house but are very chill and friendly. However quarantine is possible if they don’t get along with your furry friend. When it comes to your own home, I have experience in domiciliary care and so I am accustomed to working in people’s houses whilst respecting their space. I can visit your felines and ensure they are fed, watered and that their litter tray is clean. I can also provide them with company for a while and sit outside with them if they would like to get some sun. I will always leave the place as I found it and may also do some light cleaning if I find a mess.
“Jane was fantastic looking after my puppy Charlie for a few days. She took for long walks, gave him lots of cuddles and attention and I came back to a very relaxed puppy! She also sent me lots of pictures, which I loved. I will definitely use Jane again. Thank you Jane!”

“First time using Rover & Holly. Definitely recommend. Holly was very accommodating with our complicated schedule. The dogs LOVED her & she left our home clean & tidy when she left. Holly is definitely our new dog sitter!”

About: As well as having our own cats and dogs since myself and my partner were about 8 years old, in our adult lives we have house sat or looked after various family members and friends dogs and will continue to do so! I work full time, but from home on Wednesdays, so can happily take care of pets on this day, as well as every other weekend! Happy to have pets stay for full weekends too! We have plenty of space for pets inside and outside of our house, including a conservatory and fenced garden. I’m also happy to go to pet owners houses to feed cats and other animals on preferred days if needed.
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with a dog has taught me how different each one is, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. When I was younger, I even started a little dog walking business in my local area because I loved any excuse to spend more time with dogs! I have These days, I regularly look after friends' and family's dogs whenever they need a hand, whether that's for walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I'll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs, dogs who have just undergone serious medical procedures and puppies, so I have a range of experience that allows me to provide the right care for your friend. I have a flexible schedule thanks to my zero-hour hospitality job, meaning I can dedicate lots of time to looking after your pet. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and being outdoors, so I’d love the opportunity to include your dog in my routine. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’d love to provide your pet with plenty of care, companionship, and attention, whether that means exciting walks, playtime, comforting company, or regular check-ins. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always adapt my care to suit their individual needs and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m happy to offer pet sitting in my own home, but I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. Keeping their familiar routine and surroundings helps them feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have experience in a Veterinary setting as an animal care assistant. And have gone to college for animal care and achieved two certificates in the welfare of animals. I currently work at an animal hospital so my weekly availability changes. However I am able to change and be flexible. I can walk and check on cats and dogs in the morning and evening and pop in on weekends. I can feed and clean litter boxes, i can walk and take dogs out for the toilet. I can also provide them comfort and all the cuddles they need!

Clare is very special, nothing is too much trouble for her. I know that Poppy and my home will be in good hands. She gives me regular reports with photos on how Poppy is and she also washes and dries the bedding and towels before she leaves, which is above and beyond what I would've expected but really appreciated. I can't recommend her enough!

Anna was fantastic looking after my very energetic dachshund! Very caring, experienced and he clearly loved her. It was a last minute request and Anna even made time to come round the day before to meet Louie and myself. Would definitely book again, thank you!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Gravesham walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Gravesham 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!

- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
