“Anna is a fantastic pet sitter! She is reliable, caring and great with our golden retriever. We always feel completely at ease knowing he is in such good hands. Highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Totally recommend Claire! My cavapoo is clearly delighted with the attention she gives him in his “pop in” visits, when we are stuck for time. Trustworthy and reliable! Have made several more bookings and hope to be able to fix up some holiday dates next year when Claire can do some home boarding too.”
“Rosanna is great, she has a long experience with cats, but she also loves them and cared for my 18 years old boy with tenderness and real concern. Thank you Rosanna, I found Gioacchino as happy as if I had been there with him! ”
“Charlotte went above and beyond for our fur babies. She was so professional taking notes at the beginning for how our cats are cared for. We arrived back from holiday to the house being immaculate. We even ran out of items that Charlotte brought her own of to care for the babies. An amazing sitter and can’t recommend her enough! ”
“Cooper really enjoys Terry dropping in during the day….he loves to play and is let out in the garden for a while. Gives us reassurance that he’s got someone checking on him while we are out. Really happy with service.”
About: I’ve had dogs and all sorts of pets my whole life, I’ve also done dog grooming and dog walking. Whilst regularly watching friends and families dogs whilst they’re away also. Welcome to Ellie’s pet sitting☺️ I am fully insured and have lots of 5 star reviews. Please feel free to drop me a message with any further questions or requests! I am ideally looking to house sit and pet sit but can also do drop ins if needed, I go on daily walks and love to take the dogs with me!
“Rosie has been an absolute godsend whilst I’ve been away! She’s given my fur baby lots of love and attention and made everything about him which I am so appreciative of. I received daily updates on what he’d been up to throughout the day, even what he’d had for dinner! Honestly I couldn’t have asked for anyone better, thank you so much Rosie xx”
“From start to finish Hanna has been wonderful, friendly, quick responses & attentive to my preferences while I was away. She did a fantastic job of caring for my x2 kitties, who are quite scared normally. Thank you Hanna 💜”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, I've gained this from being very active in the past year on Trusted House Sitter receiving all 5 star reviews. I follow routines closely and prioritise safety at all times. Your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first. Growing up I've cared for larger breeds including German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers along with several cats. Please note I do have a full-time job in Gravesend that I commute to between 8:30-5:30 during the weekdays. How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? Currently, neither my partner or I live with any pets and we miss having a furry friend dearly. We have both grown up around dogs including German Shepherds and Labradors, we are both pet lovers and miss having the energy around the house. We are used to both energetic and more relaxed doggos. Please let us know what your pets love and a bit more about their personalities! In my home, pets are treated as part of the family and given plenty of individual attention. I keep routines consistent to help them feel settled and comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual schedule and surroundings. My goal is to minimise stress and keep your pets happy and relaxed.
About: I've lived with my springer spaniel for over 9 years now and have assisted in his upbringing from a small puppy to the mature dog he is now, being involved in walking, feeding and caring for him. Even outside of that, many of my family members have dog and other pets so I have a variety of experiences. I'm not working currently so I have so much time free to care for your beloved pets. I am especially free around midday and afternoons. It can be of course difficult to trust someone else you just met with your pet and so I will take extra care to bring trust, giving regular updates and photos and providing clear communication. I will.
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: What sets me apart is my ability to balance structured care with plenty of love and playtime. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and understood, whether that means high-energy walks for active dogs or cozy snuggles for older ones. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, treating every pet as if they were my own. Currently I'm fully flexible for the foreseeable future ~ if not than my Wife os happy to accommodate/take over. Mon through to Sunday, any hours, just liase with me and I'll do my best to meet your needs. I am on the ground floor of an apartment complex situated near Greenhithe Station/Ingress Park. An outdoor sealed off balcony, safe for Dogs & I would say Cat's but they have no boundaries 😂 With plenty of outdoor and walking space.
“Sara has been amazing, we came home to a very happy cat! This was the first time using Rover (or similar), and we’re very happy. Sara came to our house first to meet us and our cat, she’s super friendly and took notes of everything that was said. We had asked for her to feed/play with Zeus while we were gone for a night, she did 3 visits in total and I can see from the pictures that Zeus seems comfortable with Sara, which is lovely. Very much recommend Sara!!”
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.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and my family currently has two Pomeranians, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I also have hands-on experience providing dog boarding and sitting services, which has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments and care needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply providing calm, cosy companionship, I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I live in a house with a large garden, surrounded by wooded areas and plenty of great walking routes, so your dog will have lots of space to explore and enjoy. Our two family dogs live separately with my sister in an annexe, so if your dog prefers their own space or needs to be away from other dogs, I can easily accommodate that. I’m also happy to care for reactive dogs and will always take the time to understand your dog’s specific needs and routines to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. As a part-time worker, I’m available evenings Monday through Wednesday, and all day Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your dog. In my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, cozy spots to rest, and constant supervision. I make sure all areas are secure to prevent any escapes or accidents. When I visit your home, I follow your routine, maintain a familiar environment for your pet, and ensure they are comfortable and safe. Whether it's checking on food, providing medication, or simply offering companionship, I always take extra steps to create a calm and secure atmosphere. Your pet’s well-being is always my focus!

Samantha was lovely, she agreed to look after our cats at the last minute and we were very grateful. She sent us regular updates morning and evening, and lovely pictures. Both cats seemed very happy. We have one cat that has a tablet twice per day. This did not faze Samantha at all and all instructions were carried out to the letter. We arrived home to very happy and settled kitties. Thank you 🤩
Erin was absolutely fabulous at looking after our 3 cats. She took care in what she did and made sure they were well looked after. Her communication was great and I loved the cute pictures she shared after each of her visits. Thank you so much and would recommend her to anyone!

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Gravesham 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 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!

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
