About: Hi! Lovely to e-meet you, here is a brief description of my previous experience and why you should choose me as a pet sitter! Previous experience as a dog sitter with a variety of dog breeds and sizes including border collies, whippets, cockapoo, pomerians, schnauzers. I have looked after dogs for a while now as well as growing up with a miniature schnauzer as a family dog! Love looking after dogs after moving away from home and no longer having my family dog around! Happy to look after all types of breeds and for a varied lengths of sittings. Open to dog sitting at houses dependent on duration and availability. Looking for opportunities to dog sit open availability's please message to discuss! Will meet up first to discuss requirements and allow you to see me interact with your dog! I worked full time but spend three days working from home. I have the flexibility to look after your dog and spend time with them whilst wfh. Ability to take them for walks and potty breaks. On the weekends if booked on advanced can pet sit, walk or do overnight stays! I take time to let your dog settle in to a new environment, making sure to bond with them when they are comfortable. Happy to play with their toys, cuddles and go for exciting walks!

About: i’ve been passionate about all animal kind since childhood. i grew up always out in nature and going to anywhere i could see animals. the highlight of my childhood was meeting my hero david attenborough! my best friend growing up was my jack russell terrier alfie. i often cared for friends and family members pets being from a large family who knew how much it meant to me to be around animals. i offer dogs lots of fun and support, i understand the individual and work to find what motivates them. i can adapt to most needs and love making dogs happy. a fun fact about me is i’m using money i make from this service to save towards my wedding - i love the idea that looking after my favourite animal can fund my special day! working from home throughout the week means that i am always local and can easily fit care throughout a day/week. myself and my partner love to go for long walks and get the most out of our beautiful local area. however, a walk is never complete without a canine companion! we’re lucky enough to live in between two royal parks (bushy and richmond) where we spend hours exploring. also always love a cosy weekend night in with a pup or cat to snuggle and spoil. i live in a large flat with cosy spaces to snuggle down, big windows to sit at and watch the world go by and plenty of space to play. myself and my partner both work from home and can have a pet sat in a room with either of us, or free range throughout the flat, whichever is their/your preference. i am always respectful of someone else’s home, i understand it’s not easy allowing a new person into your space and am keen to honour the trust given. your home is your castle and i will treat your pets like royalty!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and now have my own little sausage dog, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust when life is busy. Friends call me a ‘dog whisperer’ because I connect easily with dogs of all personalities. I have Fridays wfh and love to get my steps in. Also an early riser for early walks in the week or weekends. Happy to help with evening walks too. I will be happy to care for your pet at their own home. I believe it’s nice for them to have their own home comforts, especially if they don’t like being apart from their owners.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11. I walk all the time and love to take dogs with me. I often house sit for friends when they go on holiday and need their pets looked after! I’m working part-time at the moment so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of pets. I go on long walks for photography and I love nature and a little furry company never hurts. A night in with a book and a pet by my side is my ideal night. I try to make pets feel comfortable by keeping to their usual routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and keep owners updated while they’re away.

Grace took fantastic care of our cat, Mango, while we were away! She gave us complete peace of mind during our first time leaving him. She looked after him so well, sticking to his dinner routine, setting up his breakfast feeder, and making sure to include plenty of playtime. We absolutely loved receiving her daily updates with photos, which we really looked forward to each day. She was reliable and communicative throughout. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat. I highly recommend her and we will absolutely book again!

About: I’m a reliable, calm and attentive sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, from energetic young pets that need patience and consistency, to senior pets that require a gentler, more attentive approach. I’m confident sticking to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement and administering basic medication if needed. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give. I take the time to build trust with each animal, understand their personality and create a calm environment where they feel relaxed and secure. I’m also extremely clean, respectful and dependable, so owners can feel confident both their pets and home are in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, consistency and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks, playtime and keeping to feeding schedules are something I’m happy to prioritise. I’m also organised and flexible, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I always prioritise creating a safe, calm and familiar environment for pets, whether I’m in my own home or caring for them in theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely so their routine stays consistent, including feeding, walks, medication and any specific care needs. In a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I make sure doors, gates and windows are properly secured and that pets are never put in risky situations on walks or during play. I take time to build trust with each pet, moving at their pace and paying close attention to their behaviour so I can respond to their needs properly. My goal is always to keep them relaxed, safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I raised my Husky, who was my companion for 12 years, and I now have an Australian Shepherd. Through both of my dogs, I've gained hands-on experience with training, daily care, and understanding canine behavior. I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work remotely on project-based assignments, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship, so your dog won't be left alone for long. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I always follow each owner's care instructions and strive to keep pets on their usual routine to help them feel safe and relaxed.

About: Howdy, y'all! I grew up in central Texas where I helped rescue and re-home 6+ dogs from kill shelters in San Antonio -- walking, feeding, bathing, introducing dogs to new environments, and finding two of them their furever homes. 🏡 I've handled everything from bouncy puppies to senior dogs who just need a calm presence and a good longgg, slow walk. 🐕 Now based in Kingston, I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits. My schedule is remote & flexible, so I can work around yours -- mornings, mid-afternoons, evenings, whatever your pup needs! I treat every walk like it matters, because it does :) For regular clients I already know and trust, I'm also happy to discuss boarding in my private top-floor room, which is calm, quiet, and fully separated from the rest of the house. 🐾 🐶 I work flexibly from home, which means I'm around most days and can fit walks and drop-ins into my routine without stress. The occasional commitment aside, my schedule is adaptable for mornings, afternoons, and evenings -- just let me know what your dog needs. In fact, I look forward to having an excuse to get out of the house! I'm based in a house where there's already a resident dog, so any pup coming to stay would be entering a dog-familiar environment, though I keep my solo top-floor room completely separate if you'd prefer your dog to have their own calm space away from the household. I'm experienced at introducing dogs to new environments and other animals from my rescue work, so I'm confident in managing the meet process carefully. Since I work remotely and flexibly, I genuinely love having a dog around on my Rover days -- whether that's a pup chillin' under my desk, hangin' out by my piano, or giving me the perfect excuse to take frequent walking breaks throughout the day! 🐾 🐶

Lexi took great care of Mango, our cat, for a few days of our trip. She was incredibly punctual, reliable, and followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly. She kept us updated throughout her visits, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing Mango was well looked after. I highly recommend her!

About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains. I would often walk more than one dog, as I have cared for my neighbors dogs before, who are a bit smaller than my boxer. I was responsible for my dogs behavior training, medication management (including regular and important medications now my George is an older boy) and trick training. I’ve also cared for my cat Izzy since she was a kitten, ensuring her well being and understanding feline behavior. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, walking and feeding dog all of different sizes, aswell as dealing with dogs that aren’t trusty of people or trained due to being abandoned. Although I don’t live with my pets anymore, I still see them as they live with my parents. I am currently fully flexible, so I am able to look after your pets this summer regardless of your needs. I am willing to come to any location and adapt to your needs. From ensuring my cat and my dog stayed safe and in the house in my hometown, which was a mountainous where a pet can easily be lost, i can assure I am a trustworthy attentive person.

About: For the first time in both our lives, childhood included, our household doesn’t have a dog in it. We have lots of experience working with dogs having spent 2 years working as full time dog walkers so are comfortable walking and looking after a whole variety of dogs, big and small, from our seniors in their twilight years to the puppies who need reminding of what their commands are! As a student, Jess has a pretty flexible schedule, it often varies but she spends lots of time at home studying and a study break to walk a dog is always welcomed! Ben works full time and looks after dogs on his days off. When making a booking, you will always be informed whether it is one of us providing your pet’s care, or both of us. We don’t have an enclosed garden but all that means is lots more trips outside. Our home is fully dog safe, we used to have a dog ourselves so we still have plenty of toys and bits and pieces.

Thank you Trung for responding to my urgent drop-in visit request promptly. When I was aboard and realized I hadn't received notification from my pet camera for a while, I was in a panic. It was late night in London. Trung confirmed he could go in 20 minutes, and he arrived as promised. He quickly confirmed my cat's safety, and provided me with peace of mind. I highly recommend Trung for his responsiveness and reliability!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something that truly makes me happy. I grew up with four dogs and one cat, learning firsthand how much love, patience, and understanding each animal needs. I also spent several years cat-sitting for two cats, regularly brushing them, monitoring their health, and tending to any issues they had, always making sure they felt safe and comfortable. In my free time, I’m drawn to helping animals however I can. One of my most meaningful experiences was spending an entire day trying to rescue a lost, frightened dog roaming the streets. Moments like that reflect how deeply I care about animal wellbeing, especially when they’re scared or vulnerable. I believe every pet has their own unique personality, quirks, and needs, just like people. I genuinely love getting to know each animal individually and adapting my care to what makes them feel happiest and most secure. I’m currently a university student, and while my own pets are back home in Switzerland with my family, I miss caring for animals daily and would love to continue sharing that love and attention with your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority <3 As a university student with a very flexible course schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m generally available early mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m happy to accommodate regular routines, last-minute needs, or longer visits when required. I always make a point to set aside dedicated time for each pet, not just for basic care, but also for play, mental stimulation, and companionship. I believe keeping pets engaged and active is just as important as walks and feeding, and I genuinely enjoy spending that quality time with them. I take safety, responsibility, and trust very seriously when caring for pets in someone else’s home or outdoors. I understand that every pet, and every household has its own rules, routines, and boundaries. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether that means specific walking habits, feeding routines, training rules, or areas of the home that are off-limits. I’m respectful of personal spaces and treat each home with care, cleanliness, and discretion. When outside, I stay alert and attentive at all times, prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort while being mindful of their environment. I also pay close attention to behavior cues and body language, adjusting my approach to what helps each pet feel secure and relaxed. My goal is for pet owners to feel completely at ease knowing their pets, and their home, are being cared for responsibly, thoughtfully, and with genuine respect.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my family and loved them growing up. Me and my partner have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and even though he no longer has the time I have no plans to stop! I have had many dogs in day care and have quite a few regulars that i board now. I’m enjoy learning about animal behaviour and dog training in my free time.I do not discriminate! I love all breeds and will happily accept any breed if we are a good fit for each other. Feel free to message me for dog walking services too. If you are living in Kingston I’d be happy to walk your dog regularly. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule and a lot of free time. I also live with my partner so there is always someone home. I live in a flat with a fairly big communal garden that can be used. I also live about 5 minutes from 2 local dog parks and I’m always happy to visit bushy park or Richmond park. I currently do not drive but I am not afraid of a really long walk! As I have been doing this for a while now, I’m fully equipped with bowls, treats, toys etc. I also have enough space for a crate if needed. Having such a flexible schedule means I’m able to spend a lot of time playing and interacting with the dogs that I look after. We are always interacting and getting to know each other. I think this is why the dogs I’ve had settle in so well and usually very quickly. I do have some experience with nervous dogs and I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I’m currently working part time from home which is extremely flexible and doesn’t limit me at all. I am at home most days but I am happy to bring your dog with me wherever I go. There really is no better company than a dog or two! Even though I have mostly had bookings at my own home, I’m happy to house sit if that’s more comfortable for owners or for the dog.

Daraisa has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Meryl and Flora. From the very start, it was clear how caring, attentive and experienced she is, and we’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Both dogs afterwards are home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after, which says everything. Daraisa takes the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, and it really shows in how comfortable and settled they are with her. Communication has always been excellent, and it’s reassuring to know they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely loves what she does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daraisa to anyone looking for reliable, kind and professional doggy daycare.

Kat and her mother took an incredible amount of time and care with my very anxious and shy senior dog. Each time they visited her, they made sure she had plenty of enrichment time, and worked to build her confidence with new people. They went above and beyond what was asked of them, and I’d highly recommend them to any doggy parents who are in need of a little extra help.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available whilst you work. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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 occured. 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.

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 Kingston upon Thames 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!

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.

Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
