“Ayanna has been walking our Border Collie, Zeke, every Thursday and she has been great! Zeke is always very happy to see her and really enjoys their 1-hour walks together. He’ll usually sleep throughout the afternoon when he gets home. Ayanna has always been very responsive and takes lots of pictures and videos. I can highly recommend Ayanna!”

About: I’m Hollie, a qualified Level 3 dog groomer with 4 years of hands-on experience caring for and working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m passionate about making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved and settled. Through my grooming work, I’ve gained experience handling nervous, elderly, energetic and more sensitive dogs, as well as understanding their individual needs and behaviours. I’m confident with everything from walks and playtime to feeding routines, administering basic care and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow your usual routine and take the time to get to know what makes your dog happy and comfortable. Your dog’s wellbeing is my priority, and I’ll treat them as I would my own — with plenty of love, patience, exercise, cuddles and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re happy and being well cared for. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, some company while you’re out, or a little extra care and attention, I’d love to help! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m an active person and enjoy spending plenty of time outdoors, so walks, playtime and keeping dogs entertained are something I genuinely enjoy. As a qualified dog groomer, I already spend a lot of my time around dogs and am very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and needs. I understand the importance of keeping to their usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I’m able to build pet care around my schedule and can offer flexible availability depending on the type of care your dog needs. Whether that’s a morning or evening walk, daytime visits, or looking after your dog for longer periods, I’m happy to work with their routine to make sure they feel happy, settled and well cared for. When your dog is with me, they’ll have plenty of love, attention, exercise and cuddles — and I’ll keep you updated so you know they’re having a lovely time! 🐾❤️ I always make sure pets are cared for according to their individual needs and their usual routine. Before looking after a pet, I’ll take the time to understand their feeding schedule, exercise requirements, personality, likes and dislikes, and any important care instructions. In a client’s home, I’ll keep their routine as normal as possible, making sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and companionship. I’ll also respect their home and leave everything clean and tidy. As a qualified Level 3 dog groomer, I’m confident handling dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments, including nervous and elderly dogs. I’m patient and attentive and always prioritise their safety and wellbeing. I’ll provide regular updates and photos while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, comfortable and being well looked after. Most importantly, I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own — with lots of care, patience, affection and cuddles! 🐾❤️
“I am soo happy that I found Donna as she is an amazing pet sitter, she took wonderful care of my cats while we went on vacation and everything was perfect when we came back, cats happy, everything super clean I am very grateful, thank you !!! 🩷”

About: I have a genuine passion for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have my own pets, including dogs and cats, which has given me a great understanding of their different personalities, needs, and behaviours. I hold a Level 3 diploma in Animal management with Distinction* grades, as well as qualifications in pet sitting, dog walking and dog grooming. I have also worked in both a cattery and kennels, giving me valuable experience caring for a variety of cats and dogs and understanding their individual routines and requirements. I already work with pets and regularly gain practical experience, while continuing to develop my dog grooming skills. I am caring, reliable, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I currently work part-time at Pets at home, although i often work more than my contracted hours depending on the needs of my work place. Because of this, i will fit pet sitting, dog walking and drop in visits around my work schedule and my days off. I always want to make sure i can give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve, so i will be honest and upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. If you are looking for someone who can be with your pet 24/7, I may not always be the right person, depending on my working days and hours. However, I will always do my best to work with you and create a schedule that suits both you and your pet. When caring for pets in their home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take time to understand their usual feeding, walking, toileting, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines, and make sure these are followed as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I also make sure their home is left clean and secure, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Molly was great, she was keen to do an intro meet and great and kept us updated with every visit. Everything was left clean and tidy with all used tins etc thrown away and the kitchen left nice and clean, which is so important in this hot weather. Our cats seemed very happy. Will use again”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have learned a lot from looking after them as puppies, adults and seniors. They’ve always made me happy and caring for them just comes naturally. I’ve always loved dogs. Dog care fits easily into my routine as I work from home and already care for my own dog. I’m used to making pet care part of my day and would give the same attention to any dog I look after. I care for dogs like I do my own, whether they’re at my place or yours. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and stick to any routines like crate training or meds. My focus is always on keeping them safe, comfortable and happy.
About: I have been involved in caring for dogs for over 35 yrs as a qualified veterinary nurse, manager of a boarding breeding and rehousing kennels and currently as a dog trainer and with my own dogs. I am confident to support with medication, look after nervous, anxious and even aggressive dogs. I am passionate about puppy foundations and safe exposure to a wide variety of experiences to ensure the best start equipping your dog to have confidence and life skills. Your requirements can be discussed if you do have a young dog or even a dog needing to gain some confidence eg a rehome. I can provide a safe, warm home environment for elderly dogs and can offer them time and my experience to ensure they settle in my home. Your pet can socialise with my dogs if this is beneficial but can also be kept separately if required. I have experience working with guide dogs and assistance dogs. My own dogs have been registered Pets As Therapy dogs and used to help individuals conquer dog phobias. Please get in touch to discuss how I might be able to help. 1:1 training opportunities also available by request. I work part time and can devote part and full days to looking after your pet. Pets can be walked once or twice a day with regular toilet breaks. I have a fully secure garden with direct access to local fields and footpaths for county walks. Dogs can be with my own dogs or kept separately if required. Whichever is more beneficial for your pet. I am happy to use crates but this is not a necessity. Dogs can sleep upstairs if required and are welcome on the sofa.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I’ve always been surrounded by dogs through my family, my mum’s friends and my own friends, and I’ve had lots of experience spending time with and looking after different dogs over the years. My family had a Jack Russell who lived to 15, and I grew up helping to raise him from the age of eight. He could be quite anxious and reactive, which taught me the importance of understanding a dog’s body language, recognising when they’re uncomfortable and being patient with their individual needs. I was also there for him throughout his later years and when he became unwell, including taking him to the vet and supporting him through the end of his life. That experience has stayed with me and made me appreciate just how much our dogs mean to us. We also have a family Sprocker Spaniel, Connie, who I absolutely adore! Being around dogs of different ages and personalities has helped me appreciate that every dog needs something different, whether that’s playtime, reassurance, patience or a little extra care as they get older. I’m a caring, attentive and trustworthy person who would treat your dog like family. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’d always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home two days a week, sometimes three, which gives me some flexibility for drop-in visits during my lunch break or other breaks, depending on your location. I’d love to help owners who are at work during the day by popping in to let their dogs out for a toilet break, giving them some company, or making sure they’re happy and comfortable while home alone. I’m particularly flexible at weekends, when I have more time to dedicate to pet sitting. Whether your dog needs a quick visit to let them out, a longer visit for some company and cuddles, or someone to spend an hour with them while you’re out, I’d love to help! I understand how important it is for dogs to have company, routine and care throughout the day, and I’m happy to discuss each dog’s individual needs to find what works best for them and their owner. 🐾 I’m currently living at home with my family, so I’m unable to offer pet sitting in my own home at the moment. However, I’d love to care for pets in their own familiar environment through drop-in visits and other services!

About: I’ve professionally taken care of dogs locally for almost 5 years, from Huskies, Labradors, Cocker-Spaniels to a German Short-haired Pointer that chased a sheep into a canal for me to rescue! 😅 Additionally, my side job as a video editor allows my schedule to be super flexible, allowing me to drive over to you whenever and wherever I am needed! Safety for your pets and respecting your wishes are of utmost importance to me. Cleanliness also takes priority when visiting homes, and I take extra care in respecting property, not just in houses but on walks to, making sure to keep dogs on leads at all times if requested, and making sure they don’t put themselves in harms way.

From the first visit when we met Millie, we were put at ease by her kindness and confidence with our playful puppy. It was clear that she knew what she was doing and he had a wonderful time with her on her visits. We appreciate the thorough updates and will definitely book again!

Thank you Liina, we have had the pleasure of Lina looking after our crazy Border Collie Quinn twice and although that is all she was asked to do she has also taken care of our cat Willow,who is very fussy about the company she keeps but has given Lina her seal of approval! Lina comes highly recommended by us.

Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occurred. 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.
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.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
