Chillin was very good with Luna she sent me lots of pictures and videos every day. Luna can be very timid when i'm not around but Chillin was very patient with her . I raccomend her for local people and she was added to my favourites.

Marina was a great pet-sitter for my cat. She is gentle, attentive, and loving, which is exactly what I need for my lovely little boy (cat). Also she takes initiative to go the extra mile for my cat which was so nice to see, and would ask me first before trying something new, so the service was fantastic Marina visited me with her daughter to help with communication as English isn't her first language, but this was easy and smooth. Her daughter is also lovely and gentle. Marina's English is good Marina sent me plenty of images and videos of Ares whilst I was abroad which kept me at total peace. I have just made another booking and can see myself working with them many times :) Thank You Ehsun

About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was 14, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. We’ve had a Corgi, Mini Poodle and Golden Retriever, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles, and I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own. I work mainly from home, so I’ll be around for most of the day and can give your dog plenty of attention and company. I can do morning, afternoon and evening walks, and if I ever need to go into the office, I’m able to bring the dog with me. I live with my partner in a spacious two-bedroom flat in a very dog-friendly area, with lots of grass and beautiful riverside walks nearby. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention, walks and cuddles. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you know they’re having a lovely time.

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'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.

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’m a working dog owner and have experience with aggressive and nervous breeds. My oldest dog was a family pet, a mastiff cross Rottweiler who unfortunately passed away this April 2026 from Degenerative Myleopathy. My current dog is a 3 year old mastiff/herder mix I participate in dog sports and obedience with. I work from home on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to fit pet care, boarding and day to day care at anytime. I have an outdoor kennel in my 50ft garden and indoor crates for dog’s that need to be kept safe and secure. Alternatively I have dog beds in my home for well behaved dogs those that are used to freedom of movement.

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 caring for dogs and cats of all kinds for over 10 years, starting my petsitting and housesitting journey while studying full-time in South Africa. Over the years, I've gained invaluable experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. Neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their fur babies, and I bring that same dedication to every pet I sit for. Having moved to the UK, I miss being surrounded by canine companions and am eager to offer my services to help other pet owners I work full time on weekdays but have a flexible schedule, including working remotely three days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for dog walks after 4pm on weekdays, anytime on weekends and drop-in visits can be arranged to suit your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, organised, and happy to work around different routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I currently live in a flat with two flatmates who are not comfortable with pets, so I am unable to offer boarding services at my place. However, I’m happy to provide dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring your pet gets the attention they need while you're away. I always make sure that pets are in a safe, secure environment and follow any routines you’ve established to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I grew up in animal care in Australia, where my mother was an official rehabilitation carer for the RSPCA (along as an annual fundraiser for WWF). Our home was a revolving door for all walks of life. Everything from kangaroos and dingos to sheep and horses - so responsible, hands-on animal care was simply part of daily life from a young age. Dogs were my mother's particular specialty, and she cared from everything from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls, often at the same time (and always without a single fight between them). As the eldest of five children, I was regularly given responsibility for looking after our animals and for setting the example for my younger siblings. My own first dog, Shandy, came into my life on my third birthday and stayed by my side for a wonderful 18 years. She was my grounding in what it means to properly care for a dog throughout every stage of its life. Since moving from Sydney to London back in 2009, my hands-on animal care has continued closer to home having adopted a rescue cat, Sharon, who's now 14 and very much my ride-or-die. She's taught me a lot about patience, trust and reading non-verbal cues. Skills that transfer directly to working with animals who can't tell you what they need in words. I work part-time freelance from home so flexibility is a strength of mine. My schedule is fluid when it comes to weekends and weekdays. I like to keep up to date with Youtube Tutorials about best care tips for pets. As an ex life guard and swim coach - safety, trust and environment are part of my core values.

I am happy to send regular updates to you for ease of mind. If I am somewhere other than my place, I make sure to leave it tidy and just how I found it.

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 :)

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.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

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.
