About: I’ve been around animals my whole life - I grew up with a British Shorthair from age 5, and have also had a parrot, hamster, and rabbit over the years. More recently I’ve been the go-to person for friends’ cats (including Maine Coons, Ragdolls) and small dogs when they’re away. I work in finance and am mostly remote, so your pet gets consistent company and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone. I’m in a spacious flat with no other pets or children - calm, clean, and easy to settle into. I’m also an active runner, so if you have an energetic dog, they’ll be well exercised. I provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Special rates are available for longer stays. For boarding, I only accept multiple pets when they come from the same household. I work mostly remotely, so your pet gets consistent company throughout the day. I can be quite flexible around pick-ups and drop-offs - just reach out! I live in a spacious, tidy flat with a balcony that stays closed during visits. No kids, no other pets. Your pets are welcome on the sofa - make yourself at home! I do have stainless steel bowls, water fountain, cat litter box and scratching post available but you’re welcome to bring your own if preferred!

About: I have always been around dogs and loved looking after them. I currently have a certificate in pet first aid L2. I regularly research and learn about different breeds of dogs. I am currently on my summer holidays and I am fully flexible for all days of the week and all times of day! I am happy to accept late notice bookings and will always try my best to accommodate. I care for the dogs to the same level as the owners and will follow the same routine to ensure the dog feels safe and comfortable. Being passionate about dogs I pride myself on creating fun and safe environments for the dogs wherever we are.

About: I have grown up around dogs and since moving to London have really felt the need for a pup to get me out the flat more and bring me some daily joy! I have previously looked after a large poodle and have had family dogs of westies, jack russells and dachshunds- I love all dogs of any size and I just would love to bring back the joy of a dog in my life. I currently work 80% from home so have lots of time to take dogs out for long walks or to have lots of play and relaxing time.I will spoil the pooch like it’s my own and also I have use of a car so I can take the dogs on longer more adventurous walks! I have a flat with a balcony but the doors are always shut and would be especially when animals here. I have multiple parks in a 10 minute walking distance as well as many dogs living near us with can provide great socialisation!

About: I moved from Canada a few years ago and had to leave my 2 dogs behind with my sister. I’ve been looking for ways to spend some time with dogs in London and that’s why I joined Rover! In terms of experience, I’ve always had a dog or two since I was 6 years old, so I’m experienced with all aspects of being a dog owner, from puppy training and feeding, all the way to bathing and even de-fleaing them. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years and have learned to befriend many dogs of various personalities, energy levels and sizes. I work full-time during the weekdays but am free during the weekends to give your dog all the attention and exercise it needs! If you’re planning a long weekend away, I can work with you to arrange weekends + Fridays and/or Mondays as well. My current flat is unfortunately not dog-friendly, so I can only offer to come to you and your dog at your home. I will work with you to learn what your pet needs for walks, feeding, cuddles and more, since every dog will be different.

About: I’m the owner of a five-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named Duke, and I’ve also regularly cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and family ever since I was a teenager. Through these experiences, I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well looked after while they’re away. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and making sure each dog feels relaxed and cared for in a calm environment. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so owners can see how their dog is doing and have complete peace of mind while they’re away. I mainly work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, and playtime to match your dog’s usual routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m a very attentive and responsible dog owner myself, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, walking routines, and any special needs. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I make sure dogs are supervised, relaxed, and in a calm environment. I also have access to a gated garden where dogs can safely spend time outside and play. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to make sure they feel secure and comfortable.

About: I've looked after my friend's dog a lot, she is a very reactive rescue dog and took a while to gain and then build trust. It's important to read pet's moods and behaviours and learn their idiosyncrasies so you can give them the best care. I work from home 2x days a week- but these are flexible as to which days. My job isn't demanding as I am in charge of my own time so would have time for lots of cuddles and 3x walks a day. This would encourage me to get out and about and lots of exercise for your pet! Can look after overnight or late nights with notice. If its doggy day care you are after- i can be flexible, happy to negotiate to suite your needs. I live alone in a spacious flat, no pets, so dogs who prefer being with humans would be very welcome. My flat is situated on the 2nd floor but with three walks hopefully they would be tuckered out! They are free to roam around all of the flat and have plenty of blankets for them to snuggle up on.

Kay took great care of my cat and really spent time to keep my cat company, feed and play with her. Kay kept my place clean as well which was not asked. I can tell she genuinely loves animals. From the photos and vidoes she sent to me, I can see my cat loves her too. I can recommend her to any pet owners and will return for future services.

About: I've been passionate about dogs since a very young age. So much so, that my parents bribed me with a dog to move houses! Everytime I visit a house, you'll notice my eyes immediately searching for the little pupper. Rest assured, your furball & myself will have a gala time during our walks! I'm currently on between jobs, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your dogs. I'm be available Mon - Fri. Looking forward to meeting you & your sidekick. Only walking provided as a service for now. I will explore the dog-sitting option later. Rest assured, your dog will be in good hands - home or not :)

What can I say! Id give more stars if I could! Carmel was absolutely amazing from start to finish she went above and beyond in caring for my fur baby. It was the first time we've had to leave him since he turned up and chose us in December 25. Carmel sent photos and videos daily and Reggie loved the fuss and attention she gave him. I would highly recommend using Carmel if you want the peace of mind that your little one is going to be truly looked after and loved whilst your away.

I have years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I worked for 2 years in a professional dog daycare, where I gained experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. In addition, I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for over 5 years, providing loving, reliable care in and out of the home. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I make sure your furry family member feels loved and secure while you’re away 🐶🐱🐾 I am currently studying online , so I am always at home and I’m very flexible . I’ll make sure your dog will receive a lot of attention and love.🥰 I live in a flat with access to a communal garden, which is perfect for safe outdoor playtime with your dog. I also provide plenty of toys and a comfortable, cozy bed so your pet can relax and feel at home. I’m sure your dog and I will truly enjoy our time together, going to the park, playing, running, and socializing with other dogs (always safely and appropriately). We’ll have lots of fun, exercise, and happy moments together! 🥳

About: I have been caring for various dogs on the Rover app for over a year now. Me and my partner (Sham) have cared for all sorts of breeds ranging from chihuahuas to American Akitas! I take care of my family dog whenever my family requires. I have grown up with dogs since I was about 3 years old as my mum has a huge love for them as well. I grew up with a German Shepherd and a Dachshund. I am more than happy to go for walks as I do like to have any excuse to be active. I used to work from home mostly but have recently changed jobs and required to go to office more frequently. I can adjust my days and my partner also often steps in to provide care during the week when I’m not home. I have a communal outside area where I can take your pet for some outside time. There are a couple parks close-by. One of which is about a 10-15 minute walk away from me and is a great place to have a walk. I live in a flat that has two bedrooms and quite a large space in the hall and living area. We have taken care of a German Shepherd before and she seemed quite happy with the space.

About: Hi, I’m Nimmi, a Star Sitter in South East London offering calm, loving and reliable care. I specialise in dogs who benefit from patience, consistency and a gentle, attentive approach. As a devoted dog mum, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. My aim is simple: to make your pup feel safe, settled and genuinely cared for; and for you to feel completely at ease. I’m fully insured, with experience across a range of temperaments, including more sensitive, reactive or high-energy dogs. Many of the dogs I care for become regulars, which I really value. What you can expect from me: • Calm, dependable care • Regular walks and toilet breaks • Photo updates and Rover Cards • Care tailored to your dog’s routine and personality • Meet & greets available I’m especially well suited to regular weekday walks and dogs who benefit from patience, consistency and a gentle approach. I have a fenced garden, live near parks, and share my home with my friendly small dog Marley (he’s a male Maltipoo, 5+yrs and 4kg). Whether you need help during a busy work week, a one-off visit or ongoing support, I’d love to help. Caring for my own small dog shapes my daily routine: exercise, enrichment, calm company and consistency. I’m able to offer a highly attentive, hands-on level of care, ensuring your dog feels relaxed, loved and truly looked after. I walk approx 10k steps with Marley daily and my home is our little sanctuary. It’s very welcoming for dogs to feel safe and nurtured.

About: Hi my name is Simona I am A loving and trustworthy animal lover I’m a friendly, caring and responsible dog lover who would be very happy to look after your little one while you’re away or u need to work I have my own dog(my flatmate dog /half mine), so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can genuinely trust. I’m very attentive to dogs’ needs, routines and personalities, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable and loved while they’re with me. I live in a friendly home with my flatmate, and we both love dogs. Your dog would have plenty of company, attention and affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I mainly welcome small and small-to-medium-sized dogs who are comfortable in a home environment. I’m happy to offer daycare or overnight stays, particularly during weekends. Whether you need someone to look after your dog for the day, a weekend, or while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, cuddles, playtime and attention. I know that leaving your dog with someone new can feel worrying, so I’m happy to keep you updated with messages and photos or video call during their stay, so you can relax knowing your little one is happy and well looked after. Most importantly, I will treat your dog with the same kindness, patience and care that I would want someone to give to my own dog. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, especially at weekends. Since I work I bank Monday to Friday I have most weekend free :) I already have my dog, so I’m used to providing daily care, walks, playtime, feeding and lots of attention. I’m available mainly during weekends for daycare and overnight stays, and I can dedicate plenty of time to the dogs staying with me. I enjoy having dogs around and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for in a calm home environment. I’m also happy to follow each dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks and any special requirements. When caring for a pet in their owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest. I understand that dogs feel most comfortable when their routine stays familiar. I’m respectful of the owner’s home and treat it with the same care and consideration as I would my own. I’ll give the dog plenty of attention, affection and companionship, while also respecting their space and individual personality. I’m happy to keep the owner updated with messages and photos, so they can relax knowing their dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for while they’re away.

Coco gives Abby four paws and a tail (5) out of 5, she has been an absolute star looking after our fluffy girl . She ensured Coco got all the attention and fusses she needed, and to keep her active played hunt the treat (which is a fave with a food centred kitty). Abby provided fantastic updates and reassurance that she was in very good hands. Coco was taught a few tricks so we shall see if we can keep those going (already been given the side eye for trying😅) Would absolutely recommend and use Abby again.

Carmel was absolutely great at looking after our two cats for 10 days. She was reliable and sent daily updates which wasn’t requested but appreciated. She even had a loaf of bread in our bread bin on arrival home which was so so sweet. She took in a parcel for me too. Thanks Carmel. We will definitely be using you again on our next trip away.

Yvonne cared for my cat Mumma when my husband and I were away for a whole week. Yvonne is very friendly and caring. We had a meet and greet beforehand and went through all the details. I could already tell that Mumma is absolutely comfortable with Yvonne. Her energy matches our cat perfectly. Yvonne was always on time and she did a great job with Mumma. She provided lots of photos and videos of each visits and was very responsive so communication was never an issue. I’m very happy with Yvonne’s service and will definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommend!

  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
