“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.”
“Anna is literally the best! She has been meticulously caring for our cats while we’ve been away going the extra mile to update us and to make them comfortable and happy.”
“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: Following the loss of my own, I’m always the friend that looks after pets when they’re away or takes them out for walks! I am currently in between jobs so am at home during the day. I don’t enjoy being at home all the time, I love being outside so would love to take the opportunity to walk some friendly and fluffy friends! I ensure I adhere to rules of the owner’s home such as rooms they are/aren’t allowed in and their wishes when outside walking.
About: I appreciate you taking the time to read my experience,I have always lived with cats as my parents loved to adopt from the RSPCA so i actually lived with 8 beautiful cats from across all breeds so I know very well how to gain there trust and help them to be most comfortable.i have also spent time looking after my neighbours dog when she goes on vacation. I’m currently unemployed as I just finished college and love animals so thought I would chose a job I know I will love, I have always been around animals and feel a strong connection with them. I can easily care for your dog/cqt if there shy or timid not putting any pressure on your dog/cat to show trust instantly
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.
“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’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!
About: I've had a lifelong passion for working with dogs of all ages, starting from a young age when I helped care for family pets and neighborhood dogs. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs, developing a deep understanding of their unique needs at every life stage. My own dog is trained as a certified therapy dog and works with children, which has further deepened my skills in positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance, qualities I bring to every dog I care for. Walking dogs has always been a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s early weekend mornings, midday breaks, or evening strolls on a weekday , I make time for consistent walks that fit smoothly into my schedule. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s care. During walks or pop-in visits, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep them safe, follow any specific instructions you provide, and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
“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! ”
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 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!
“Lucy was absolutely lovely with our puppy, Ember! She came to visit and made us feel completely at ease knowing Ember was in such caring hands. Lucy was friendly, reliable and clearly great with dogs. Ember had a great time with her, and we’d happily recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker or sitter.”
“I was very pleased with the service David provided, you can tell that he really cares about animals and had a wealth of knowledge. Waffles seemed very happy upon meeting him as he can sometimes distrustful of strangers. David also sent a few pictures whilst he took him out for a walk which was over and above what i had initially required of him as he mentioned Waffles seemed like he needed a bathroom break. Would 100% recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter or walker in the local area.”
About: After having my own dog for 16 years and having recently had to say goodbye to her, I miss the company of dogs so much! I used to be a sitter on Rover regularly during uni and loved it, and now I’m in a position to start it again, and I’d love to be able to help look after your pet! :) I have a very flexible schedule so I’m able to dedicate all hours of the day / night to spending time with the dogs :) my area is very dog friendly so there’s lots of opportunities for walks as well. My house has a large fenced garden, I live with my mum who also loves dogs, with plenty of company and cuddles available :) it’s a quiet and relaxed household where I am sure happy your dog will love and feel comfy in! I’m willing to travel to pick up your pet from different areas if needed Currently I am very flexible work-wise, so when I have a booking to look after your pet I’m able to prioritise that and look after them around the clock! My garden is fenced and secured as well as a front gate which will be closed, the road outside is very quiet too. When we go for walks I always keep them on the lead. I always make sure to stay with your pet and give them lots of cuddles so they learn to build trust with me :)
“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! ”
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: 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.

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!

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!

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.
