About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old, mainly Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve previously used Rover through a shared household profile and have experience looking after a range of different dogs. I really enjoy walking, playing with and caring for them, and I’m reliable, patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’ll always make sure your dog feels happy, safe and well looked after. I work flexibly, which means I have plenty of time during the week for dog walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. My schedule can vary, but I’m generally able to be flexible with timings and can often accommodate daytime, evening and weekend bookings. I always follow each owner’s routine and instructions closely, whether I’m caring for a dog in their home or taking them out for walks. I make sure dogs are kept safe, comfortable and given plenty of attention, and I’m very mindful of things like feeding routines, leads, doors, medication instructions and any individual needs.
About: Hi, my name is Yana Dogs have always had a special place in my hear I had a dog of my own, and over the years I’ve also enjoyed helping friends with their dogs — from walks and playtime to looking after them when they’re away One experience that was especially meaningful to me was staying with a friend’s puppy for a whole week while she was on holiday It was a lovely experience and reminded me just how much I enjoy caring for dogs and being part of their little world ❤️ I understand that every dog is different Some love long, energetic walks, while others prefer a slower pace with plenty of time to sniff and explore I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine and personality and make every walk comfortable, safe and enjoyable I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own — with plenty of attention, affection and care I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your four-legged friend and become someone you can trust and rely on 🐶❤️ After every walk, I’m happy to send you a photo and a little update, so you can see your dog enjoying their time and know how their walk went 🐶📸 I live 1 minute away from Canbury Garden Thank you :) I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to provide daytime care, overnight stays, and house sitting. I can be flexible with different schedules and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs.

I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a comfortable and peaceful apartment in a pet-friendly area, with a large, beautiful park just a short walk away. It’s a great place for dogs to enjoy regular walks, fresh air and plenty of exercise.
“Evie took care of our little corgi puppy Eevee for the day and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We received numerous updates throughout the day which reassured us that she is well and taken care of. Froggy was also very sweet and protective of our puppy. We really feel like she was in good hands and paws. Highly recommend Evie!”
“This was the first time I had used this type of service so I was a little apprehensive.I contacted Kim at very short notice and she was able to accommodate our needs. We dropped our puppy, Lula off and Kim kept us updated. We had the piece of mind knowing Lula was being looked after and she appeared happy and content when we collected her. I would definitely use Kim again and would be happy to recommend to others, thank you Kim.”
“Dominika took such great care of my dog, Salsa, while she was at daycare. She was incredibly attentive, made sure Salsa was comfortable and happy, and even helped administer her medication with no issues at all. She also provided regular photo updates, which gave me real peace of mind and was so lovely to receive throughout the day. I would 100% book with Dominika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Yi and her partner were great! Hazel enjoyed her day with them and their pets. Lots of updates and photos, great communication and very friendly. Would definitely recommend and we will be back again💖”
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.
“Abbie took great care of Monty - reassuring him so well in his first week in a new home and new country (and a new dog sitter). Huge thanks and appreciate you looking after our wee boy!”
“Elena was so lovely with Gimli! She took him for a nice walk and got him settled in straight away, I also really appreciate the photo updates, I will definitely take him back :)”

“We left our nervous dog with Ganna for the day. Ganna was amazing! She was so patient and accommodating with our dog and her needs. We highly recommend her and are looking forward to dropping off our dog again soon!”
About: Hi everyone! After a recent move, I’m now available in Hampton Wick and the surrounding areas. And after an even more recent job resignation I am now available midweek for all your dog care needs! 🐶 Before returning to the corporate world, I spent 3.5 years working in both outdoor (field-based) and indoor doggy daycares. Prior to that, I volunteered as a community dog walker with the Blue Cross charity. I’ve also grown up with family dogs, so I can safely say I'm confident and equipped in caring for and walking dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities...from energetic pups to the more chilled out senior citizen (dog!)🐾 Before booking- I’m happy to arrange a quick meet & greet beforehand to make sure you and your pup feel completely comfortable. Feel free to drop me a message to arrange. (Fun fact: 4 years later- I still look after one of my OG Rover dogs when needed 🥰) I currently work from the office 5 days a week, however my evening and weekends are always open to walking and caring for new fur friends. You will be updated with photos/ videos and messages while they are in my care so that you know exactly what your pooch is up to and can feel comfortable knowing they are in good hands and living their best lives.
“Thankyou Maxim for looking after our Trudy! We felt very reassured and happy leaving Trudy with you and your partner! It was lovely to see Trudy warm up to you both so quickly. We will definitely call again when we are in the area!”
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!

I’ve grown up around animals and have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs — from energetic puppies to older, more sensitive souls. I know how important it is to find someone you can really trust with your pets. I’m gentle, patient, and always make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just calm company, I care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently studying for my PhD, so my schedule is flexible, and I love using my time outdoors for walks and cuddles with animals. My work is flexible as it is research it can change day to day/week to week therefore my schedule is flexible and can be adapted around demand. When I am with your pets I will solely focus on them, they will be my priority because I am a very caring vegan and animals are so precious to me. I will follow your instructions for how you would like your pet to be looked after. I will also focus on your animal to make sure their needs are attended to as and when they need something be it a cuddle, a treat, a fresh air break, or a good play session.

Mung and her family were very caring of my dog when they looked after her for a day. They played with her a lot, and sent us a lots of videos and pictures, showing how happy she was! When I picked her up, before leaving, my dog rubbed against Mung to also show her appreciation. I'll definitely take her back with Mung and her family!
Beatriz and the family is simply amazing!! They got comfortable with Tiny on day 1 and have never seen him settling so well so quickly at new place. They love animals, and very accommodating and simply adores tiny and his cuddles. Beatriz is now my go to person whenever i will need help with Tiny

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Kingston upon Thames commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Greater London may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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.
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 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
