Lucy is great with my puppy Jax, he absolutely loves her!! She is very attentive and makes him feel very comfortable. She plays with him and ensures that he is kept busy and is at ease while she is around. She keeps me updated with what’s going on so I am not worrying! Would highly recommend Lucy!

I was travelling to the other side of the world and needed a trusted sitter. As this was the first time I’d left my precious fur baby with a stranger, it felt like a big decision—but it turned out to be a great one. I highly recommend Luby. She is calm, patient, and warm, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure both you and your pet feel cared for. The daily pictures and updates did so much to ease my nerves. There were times I had no connection and worried about my cat being lonely or getting hurt outside (I’m definitely an overthinker!), but receiving those updates during my travels reassured me that my cat was safe and happy. There were even a few small issues at home, and knowing Luby was keeping me informed was a godsend. I left a small tip and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Good pet care is priceless—I’m so grateful ☺️.

Birgitt took wonderful care of our cat for a few days. Everything was tidy when we returned home, and she was experienced, trustworthy, and caring throughout. She was very patient with our shy cat and made every effort to help our cat feel comfortable. We felt completely at ease leaving our cat in her care and would highly recommend her.

About: Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm a marine biology Master’s degree graduate, pursing a second MSc in London. I started walking and pet-sitting for neighborhood dogs in middle school. Following that, I became an animal shelter volunteer dog companion, and for 3 years, I walked, trained, and socialized dogs of every shape, size, and personality. After that, I began walking & sitting dogs professionally for 4 years with local clients. I am responsible, experienced, attentive, and I can't wait to meet your dog! Aside from my experience working with dogs professionally, I've been a dog owner since childhood when my family adopted Chancey, a shy retriever mix. He taught me that every dog has different needs, and it's important to be loving and patient with them all! My current dog who lives in New York with my parents is Lila, a 13-year old Black Lab/Beagle mix who loves attention and snacks :) I am a full-time student but have a lot of online components, so if I am pet-sitting I can spend all my time with your dog! I follow exactly how owners prefer me to care for their dog and will adhere to any routines and structures they need. I am seasoned in creating a trusting and happy relationship between myself, a dog, and their owner. I would never put an animal in danger and prioritize their safety and comfort.

Greta was amazing. She met with us beforehand and chatted for ages. You can tell she knows her stuff and helped us managed Oreo’s quirks. She came over and made sure she was hydrated, used the toilet and was entertained. Greta was very good at giving Oreo time to adjust to a new person. Would definitely recommend.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 14, and over the years I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds. Growing up in a family that loved dogs, we always had multiple pups in our home, which taught me how to care for different temperaments, sizes, and needs. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve handled feeding, grooming, exercise, training, and providing lots of love and attention. This lifelong experience has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, patience with energetic personalities, and the ability to recognize the unique needs of each dog. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I can easily fit in daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle sessions around my work schedule. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m able to adjust to meet each dog’s needs and keep them happy and comfortable. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. When dogs are with me, I make sure they have a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love and supervision. Walks are always on-leash, and I pay attention to each dog’s comfort level and energy needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own—giving them a secure, happy, and stress-free experience.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, care, and genuine attention I can give to every pet. Being on maternity leave means I’m home most of the day, so your furry friend will always have supervision, companionship, and plenty of affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I’m very patient and attentive, which makes me confident caring for puppies learning their routines, senior dogs who need a gentler approach, or pets with special needs. Some things that help owners feel confident choosing me: I follow your pet’s usual routine closely, including feeding, walking, and playtime, to reduce stress. I maintain a safe, clean environment at all times, whether in your home or mine. I provide regular photo and message updates so you can see your pet happy and relaxed throughout their stay. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and well cared for at all times. Your pet’s comfort and happiness is my priority, and I strive to build trust with both pets and their owners. I’m currently on maternity leave and spend most of my time at home. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention, and I can easily adapt to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. Because I’m home often, pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship and supervision. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to welcoming new furry friends and giving them a safe, calm, and caring environment. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my top priority. I will always provide a calm and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure whilst in my care whether they are in their own home or mine. I will take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements so I can keep their day as familiar and stress-free as possible (again, regardless of being in my home or their own). In my home - pets will have a safe, clean space to relax aswell as play. They will always be supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In your home - I will respect your space and follow the instructions provided so your pet can stay happy and content within their usual environment. I will stick to their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routines as much as possible. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident with the care being provided.

About: I’m Leila, the owner of Leila’s Muddy Pups. I’m based in Hillingdon and cover the surrounding areas, offering reliable and caring dog walking and pet care services. I’ve grown up around dogs since I was a young child, and my love for them only grew stronger when I got my own American Bulldog at 18 after moving into my own home. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and being able to work with them everyday truly feels like a dream come true. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds. I’m also comfortable working with dogs who have behavioural needs such as anxiety or reactivity. Your dog’s safety is my top priority, and I’m trained in canine first aid, giving you extra peace of mind while your dog is in my care. I currently have a high level of availability as I am on maternity leave, which allows me to be very flexible when arranging dog walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care services. This flexibility means I can often accommodate a variety of times throughout the day to suit both you and your dog’s routine. From December onwards, when I return to work, I will primarily be offering dog walking services Monday to Thursday. I may also be able to accommodate the occasional Friday where needed, depending on availability. My goal is always to provide a reliable and consistent routine for the dogs in my care while remaining as flexible as possible to meet each client’s needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I understand that dogs feel most comfortable when their usual schedule is maintained, so I am happy to follow your dog’s regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other care they require. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, secure, and well looked after while you are away or busy. For convenience, many owners provide access to their home through a spare key or a secure key safe, which allows me to carry out walks or drop-in visits if you are not at home. I treat every home with the utmost respect, ensuring your pet is safe, settled, and cared for just as you would expect.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, having grown up surrounded by pets since childhood. Caring for them has always come naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. As a mom, I understand the patience, attention, and affection that both children and pets need, and I believe pets should be cared for with the same love and respect as we give to our kids. With me, your furry friend will feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Because I work part-time in the early mornings, I have plenty of free time during the day and throughout the week to dedicate to pet care. This flexible schedule allows me to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and companionship they need without feeling rushed. I’m available for regular visits, drop-ins, or longer stays, and I enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I always provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for pets, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. I treat every pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. Safety, trust, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’m committed to giving each pet the love and attention they deserve.

We couldn't be happier with the care our two cats received. From the very beginning, Neama was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and polite, and it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She followed all of our wishes perfectly and kept us updated throughout with detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was wonderful to see how happy and well cared for our cats were. Her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We returned home to relaxed, content cats, which speaks volumes about the loving care she provided. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you so much Neama for doing such an incredible job! ❤️☺️

Alvin was an amazing cat sitter and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was very polite, kind, reliable, and clearly cared a lot about my cats. He kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure everything was clean and taken care of, and really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, my cats were very comfortable around him, which says a lot because they can usually be a bit cautious with new people. It was obvious they felt safe and relaxed in his care. I would absolutely recommend Alvin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely lovely pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such good care of them!

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.
