“Both our cats warmed really quickly to Sam and were really happy when we came home! It’s made us feel a lot more confident to go away and leave them in her care again. Thank you! ”
About: I have a lovely senior dog of my own, a rescue that I have had for 10 years. I grew up with dogs and cats. I have also worked with horses at a horse riding school. I love animals and I have lots of experience in caring for them. Im a tattooist/creative and I’m currently working on a creative writing project at home so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of work schedule and location. I will be offering caring for your pets in your own home, visits in your own home or walks. I have worked in hospitality for over ten years while I was studying social work, now I’m a social worker but I’m taking time off while I do some writing. I will take care of your home just like I would take care of the venue at my hospitality jobs. I would be happy to keep your pet company while you’re at work or away, I can take them for lots of walks or minimal walks depending on their age, and I can give them lots of cuddles! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend. I've looked after many family and friends pooches too so I have lots of experience caring, loving and entertaining dogs (I’m not shy of some rough playtime or a snuggle on the sofa!!) I am trustworthy, sensible and reliable - here for all of your needs - I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I’d love to have your pooch join me and become part of my day. I also understand how difficult it is to leave them in someone else's hands, so be prepared for regular pupdates and photos! Don’t hesitate to message me, Della 😊 I work full time so weekdays I'm available for evening dog walks/ drop in visits (5pm onwards) At the weekends I am able to provide all day care or they can board from Friday evenings right the way through the weekend. We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.
“Danielle was amazing! She was very attentive to detail when taking care of my sweet girl Lola. If she wasn’t sure about something would always send a message to check to ensure Lola was getting what she needed. Very responsible!”
“Shauna came to visit my boys while I was away for the day. She gave me a full detailed update with some gorgeous photos, fed them, cleaned their litter tray and made sure they had plenty of playtime. The whole experience was completely stress free and I felt totally reassured that my boys were in good hands.”

Great updates and pictures and even went above and beyond by taking in numerous deliveries and putting bins in and out while we were away. Thank you so much. Excellent service and will def use again 😊.”

I also have a large, secure field attached to my house, which means I can take dogs out on my lunch break for some extra exercise, running around and exploring.

About: I've looked after dogs, cats, farm animals and other since I was a teenager (20+ yr experience). I've helped train puppies as well as caring for senior dogs and have had my own beautiful family of dogs ranging from larger dogs to tiny ones. All animals are different, generally the main theme is providing safety, fun, attention and care. I'm currently on a career break (a little over a decade running operations in London start ups) so I have flexible availability. I have a car, spend a lot of time outdoors and am generally quite relaxed. I follow any instruction given to keep both the pet and the home safe and cared for. At my own home, I have two lifts to access the floor (no stairs for senior dogs), windows are up high and kept on a Pendlay lock.
About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was just 3 years old and I absolutely adore them. I’ve always had a family dog and currently have a 12 year old dog who has experienced a number of health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable giving daily medication and providing extra care and attention when needed. I’m reliable, caring and patient, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s an exciting walk, a drop-in visit for some company and cuddles, or simply making sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away, I’ll always make their wellbeing my priority. I live with my partner and we’re both huge dog lovers, so dogs are always made to feel welcome and loved. I currently have a very flexible schedule as have time away from work, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and would love the company of some furry friends. I’m particularly flexible during the day at the moment, making it easy for me to fit around your dog’s individual routine and needs. When I return to work, I work from home two days a week and have good availability at weekends. On the three days I’m in the office, I finish at 4pm, so I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins. I’m happy to work around your schedule wherever I can and will always make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, happy and comfortable. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and understand that every dog is different, with their own personality, routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive and always take the time to get to know each dog, their quirks and follow their owner’s instructions carefully. I’m experienced in caring for an older dog with ongoing health issues and giving daily medication, so I’m comfortable providing extra care when needed. For walks, I always prioritise safety and keep dogs secure and supervised, while making sure they have plenty of time to explore, sniff and enjoy themselves. During drop-in visits, I’ll provide lots of attention, cuddles and companionship, as well as making sure they have everything they need before I leave.
“I cannot recommend Holly enough! She was absolutely incredible with my two cats from start to finish. She was so attentive, genuinely engaged with them during playtime, and even brought toys to keep them entertained and happy. It was clear she really cared about them and took the time to understand their personalities and needs. Her communication was excellent throughout,I received regular photo and video updates which honestly helped so much when I was missing them. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were happy, comfortable, and so well looked after. She was reliable, thoughtful, and professional the entire time, and I never once had to worry while I was away. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she gave them and would absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat ☺️”
About: I have owned dogs most my adult life and cats as well. I am very energetic and love walking, also very patient and love cuddles with my furry friens I only work part time now so have lots spare time to build my business of looking after animals. I can also do weekends and some evenings if needed I would ask the customer how they want there pet looked after and stick to there instructions and routine. I would also give lots of love and care
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with chickens horses dogs and cats. I currently have a tabby cat called Milo and a Cockapoo called Buddy, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels and routines. I’m friendly, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s long walks, company during the day or keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I have completed DBS checks as part of previous employment. I understand the importance of caring for both pets and owners’ homes responsibly, and I always aim to provide a safe, dependable and friendly service. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine as I have both a dog and a cat myself. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime and giving pets attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy being outdoors and active, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy rather than a chore. I’m flexible during the week and happy to work around pets’ usual routines to help them feel comfortable and settled. I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality and any special requirements they may have. In a pet owner’s home, I would respect their space, follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for reassurance too. Safety, patience and kindness are always my priority.🐾
“Koah looked after our three cats; Nelson, Florence and Winston whilst we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them and give them a fuss. She did a fantastic job of making sure they were fed and didn't feel like they had been abandoned. Koah kindly sent videos and pictures so we didn't miss them too much. She also went above and beyond by either releasing or disposing of the wildlife that was bought in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.”
“Mila had looked after my 2 cats twice and has been fantastic! She videos her arrival and when she leaves, sends lots of reassuring messages and photos. She clearly loves animals and is kind and gentle with them. My cats are both rescues and extremely scared of new people but were very relaxed around Mila. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, my name is Kathy. Are you looking for someone to walk your dog or board them while you're away? Well, look no further! I'm located in the heart of TN35, with the beach or country park only 10 minutes away, and the East Hill 5 minutes away - perfect for most dog walks. I'm also flexible if your dog is not happy on the beach or around other dogs. I'm happy to adapt to them and provide a safe, enjoyable walk alternative locations. I currently have no other pets. Sadly, my own staffie cross, Buster, passed away last year due to an age-related tumour. This means your pup would have all of my love and attention. I can offer your dog a safe, secure, clean, loving environment, however long or short their stay. With fantastic walks to the beach, East Hill, and country parks, there's endless fun to be had. My home has plenty of room and a secure garden. I drive, so I can collect and drop off if required. A bit about me - I have recently left my long-term job in charity retail to pursue working with dogs, as working with dogs has always been a dream of mine. I have tons of experience with dogs. I was a member of the Southern County Bull Terrier Society for many years. I have owned dogs all my life, mainly staffies, however, we have had many other dog breeds within the family. I am confident and responsible around dogs, and I'm happy to help with some basic dog training. I am happy to accommodate dogs of all ages. If you have any special requirements, medical needs, or further questions, please don't hesitate to message me. I have plenty of time to care ,walk and play with your furry babies. Having recently left retail after 28 years I can now devote my time to this. I am available throughout the week and weekens for doggy day care and doggy walks...short or long. I have a fenced garden and no other pets. I can offer space for up to two dogs at a time in a clean, safe , loving environment.
“I found Amy through this app as I am new to the area and needed a one off check in, she was great with my large GSD, she communicated well, kept me updated and put me at ease leaving my beloved pup for a day out. I would definitely use her again.”

Eleanor was brilliant - we had only just moved back to Hastings, and were promptly off on a trip across the other side of the world, so were a little worried about our two furry friends. We needn’t have been - Eleanor checked in every day with feeding and picture updates, and she clearly bonded with our two cats. Would highly recommend!

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.
