“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!”


“Tao has been incredibly reliable and caring. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos of Kushary while we were away, which gave us great peace of mind. Kushary clearly adores her, and we’re so happy we found her. We will definitely be reaching out to Tao again in the future! 😊”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs ever since i was little and still have two dogs now that are very loved and cared for. I love all breads of dogs and am very flexable to work around the owners needs. I am currently studying at brunel university, i only study a few days a week so my days are very flexible and i have a lot of free time to spend with your pets and to give them then love and care they need! I will respect the owners house and privacy when entering their house, unfortunately i cannot have dogs or cats where i am living as currently in student accommodation but in a couple of months i will be moved into a house with a safe and enclosed garden. I am also very organised and clean so nothing is ever left lying around!
“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.”

“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 ☺️.”

About: Devoted petsitter with specialism and key experience in caring for rescue pets, senior pets, nervous pets and pets with complex medical needs. Hello! :) I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog-walker who is Pet First Aid trained, fully insured and DBS checked. I’m passionate about excellent animal care and I believe in receiving adequate training, so in addition to my years of pet care experience I have completed 16 months of volunteer dog walking and 5 months of rescue/street dog volunteering before advancing into professional pet care. I now dog-walk and petsit professionally. I have looked after over 30 pets in their homes, for which I have received excellent reviews and references! I am experienced in caring for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and birds, with specialisation in caring for rescue pets, senior pets, nervous/reactive pets and pets diagnosed with anxiety/depression. If you are looking for a sitter who is equipped to provide focused care to pets who require skilled handling, patience and understanding, then you’ve found the right sitter! Specialised experience: Seniors: A large proportion of my clients are senior pets and I provide bespoke, attentive care tailored to the unique needs that come with ageing. I have experience supporting pets with arthritis, complex health conditions, mobility issues and those requiring regular medication, as well as seniors experiencing cognitive changes, anxiety, depression or behavioural shifts associated with old age. I offer extra physical support, move at each pets pace and prioritise comfort, dignity, and emotional wellbeing at all times. I am Pet First Aid certified and currently training in canine massage therapy. I also offer specialised seniors enrichment and holistic care sessions as a core part of my service because senior pets deserve to have quality, attentive care and most of all they deserve to feel valued and supported! When booking we can discuss an enriching and enjoyable activity schedule for your senior pets - because after all, older pets still want to have fun! Rescue pets: I have extensive experience caring for rescue animals, including those who have been abandoned or have experienced trauma. I am well versed in supporting pets with anxious attachment, heightened stress or difficult pasts and I prioritise creating a calm, safe and welcoming environment where they can settle at their own pace. When caring for rescue pets, I am fully present with them and provide close, consistent support. If you are working with a behaviourists, shelters, or rescue organisations, I can work with your care plan reschedule to ensure continuity, routine and stability during transitional periods. International rescue pets (brought to the UK): I also specialise in caring for international rescue pets, particularly dogs and cats, whose support needs can differ significantly from UK-based rescues. I have worked with rescue dogs and cats abroad as part of my volunteering internationally and I have also looked after rescue pets in the UK who have been relocated from abroad. Dogs and cats rescued from abroad have experienced long-distance travel, major environmental changes, different climates as well as unfamiliar languages or verbal cues, all of which can be unsettling during adjustment. Some have also lived as street animals abroad and were accustomed to roaming freely, sourcing food independently and protecting themselves which can shape behaviour in ways not commonly seen in UK-raised cats and dogs. I have experience supporting these transitions with patience, understanding and calm, structured care. If you have a rescue dog or cat from countries such as Romania, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria or elsewhere abroad, please message me to discuss how I can provide tailored support. Complex Health Conditions experience: I have experience providing specialised care for pets with complex health conditions including advanced arthritis, cancer and scoliosis. I am able to support pets who require careful handling, close observation, medication routines and thoughtful adjustments to daily care to maintain comfort and quality of life. I approach these cases with patience, sensitivity and clear communication with owners, ensuring each pet feels safe and supported throughout their care. Administering medication experience: I have experience administering medication to pets and can also provide the necessary aftercare. Medications I have safely administered in the past include wound treatment creams, eye drops, heart medication, thyroid medication, ringworm treatment, medicated toothpaste, dewormer, CCD medication, antidepressants and digestive aid. I understand the importance of safe handling when administering medication and I take particular care to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe whilst doing so. Reactive pets: I understand that some pets require specialised skilled and responsible handling to ensure their safety and the safety of others. If your pet has specific behavioural needs, please don’t hesitate to message me – I’m here to help and will ensure your pet is well-cared for and safe during our time together! Anxious pets: I have experience working with anxious pets and provide empathetic, calm care tailored to their needs. I ensure they are not placed in situations that may trigger anxiety, both at home and in outdoor spaces. I’m always open to discussing your pet’s specific needs, so please feel comfortable sharing any concerns. The safety and well-being of your pet are my top priorities and I’m passionate about giving them the best care possible. Puppies and kittens: I am experienced in supporting puppies and kittens during their early development, including assisting with toilet training, confidence-building and everyday skills such as safe road crossing behaviour. Case Study: (The client mentioned in this case study has formally credited me in a written reference for the following progress). My client’s large-breed puppy was fearful of stairs, requiring the client to carry her up several flights of stairs independently a lift-less apartment block. The puppy was becoming too heavy to lift. I was hired for pet care and through a focused and supportive training routine, I taught the puppy to confidently walk up and down the stairs independently. I am also comfortable caring for puppies in the teething and biting phase, understand this as a normal stage of development, and am experienced in managing and minimising biting safely and calmly, using appropriate equipment where needed. Please message me to discuss your puppies needs. My references are verifiable and happy to be contacted. I’m able to travel and promise to provide your pet/s with plenty of attention and affection during their time with me! They will always feel loved and cared for! Qualifications, training and references: I am pet first aid trained, DBS checked and fully insured. I also have verifiable references from repeat clients who are happy to be contacted.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and horses since I was a teenager, always treated all animals like my own. Plenty of attention and walks and flexible to suit every pets needs I work remotely 2 times a week so I can be flexible to suit your needs, whether that’s over night stay, day boarding or even a walk, my parents are self employed meaning someone is home 24hrs of the day My home is a family home and your dog would be treated as family, I have a fenced enclosed garden and safety precautions are already in place.

I try to adjust to your pets routine as much as possible but a typical day includes morning walks, garden playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of cuddles. Since I work from home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. I keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to so they feel relaxed and comfortable. I also maintain a clean and safe environment, making sure food bowls, water bowls, and pet spaces are always fresh and tidy. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone new. During their stay I send regular photo and video updates so you can see how happy and comfortable they are.

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.
“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.”
“Evangeline was the perfect person to take care of our kitten whilst we were away on a short break. She gave us updates during each visit, sending pictures that put smiles on our faces and helped us enjoy our time away. Knowing he was being well taken care of in the comfort of his home gave us peace of mind. 😊”

About: I’ve spent seven years caring for my own dog, and I’ve also had three cats and chickens, teaching me the importance of routine, patience, and understanding each pet’s unique personality giving me a well-rounded understanding of different animals. At home pets have always been family, and an essentially part of the household. Personally my French Bulldog Jigz is one of my best friends and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. Over the years, I’ve helped many friends with their pets while they were away, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds, personalities, and care needs. As a rugby player, I bring reliability, discipline, and plenty of energy to every visit—I’m active enough to keep up with playful pups, patient with shy cats, and attentive to all the little details that keep pets healthy, happy, and feeling at home. I am currently a uni student with lots of free time to care for and play with your beloved pets. I am especially free during holiday periods as we have breaks away from uni, making me available for house sitting. However, my schedule is extremely malleable making it easy for me to work around you and your prized pets schedule. I’m committed to being a safe and trustworthy presence in both your home and your pet’s routine. I respect every space I enter, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them. I’m very reliable when it comes to following rules, routines, and any specific requests you have for your pets, ensuring they stay comfortable and cared for just the way you prefer. You can count on me to look after your home and maintain a calm, positive environment while you’re away.

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.

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!

Evangeline was the perfect person to take care of our kitten whilst we were away on a short break. She gave us updates during each visit, sending pictures that put smiles on our faces and helped us enjoy our time away. Knowing he was being well taken care of in the comfort of his home gave us peace of mind. 😊

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!

Alisha is absolutely the best! I cannot thank her enough for the amazing care she took of my Luna and the wonderful daily photos and videos she sent while I was away. I couldn't wish for a better cat sitter! She went above and beyond in looking after Luna and developed such a bond with my cat she I'm sure Luna will miss her. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Alisha to be available when I next need to book a cat sitter for Luna.

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.
