“Carla has been fantastic! She very kindly made time to pop in for a meet and greet which was great. Prompt, great with updates and photos, and is a lovely young lady. Benji was calm and happy when we got back. Many thanks”
“Thank you Charlie & Siobhan! Jasper seemed to have a lovely time, and will be very excited to see you next time. We received photos & updates throughout the stay which was reassuring.”
“Amelia was fantastic with our fur baby, Brodie. First of all, she was excellent at communicating with us from our initial enquiry through to the end of her pet sitting with Brodie. She sent lots of photos, followed instructions perfectly, wasn’t phased by potential rain and managed to get in a nice long walk with Brodie, and again communicated really well. We will definitely call on her again!”
“Ella was fantastic with my two rescue boys, Bobby and Juan. Juan is quite nervous at first but Ella soon sent me pictures of him cuddling on the sofa and having snuggles! Ella sent me frequent updates and pictures which was very reassuring and helpful for me as an anxious dog mum! Ella is a lovely person, very caring, kind and clearly loves animals. Thank you so much Ella for taking such good care of our boys 🫶🏻”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 12, walking dogs for neighbours, looking after dogs for weeks at a time during holiday periods, and frequent dog walking and care for friends now. I love spending time with and caring for dogs and have a positive, active nature . Currently working from home frequently and have a flexible schedule, so plenty of time to walk and care for dogs. Happy to do dog walks morning, afternoon or evening time. I have a fenced garden and plenty of quiet, safe walking routes nearby to enjoy on dog walks. Safe, family friendly environment with lots of calm, open spaces to enjoy.

“Eric and Hattie, our two beloved British Shorthair cats loved Emma, as did we. Emma was reliable, communicative, personable and tidy. We are hoping that she will be able to cat sit for us again in the future.”
“Hollie did an excellent job looking after my dog. She was very communicative, reliable and flexible throughout the whole process, sending me updates and pictures, not to mention my dog adores her. I came home to a happy dog and a home well taken care of. Can recommend, and would definitely book again in the future!”

If Inge is available, book her straight away! She took exceptional care of both our cat, Mister, and our home. She kept us regularly updated throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. On the last evening, Mister came home with a small injury. Inge contacted us straight away, researched the issue, and took him to our vet the following day. She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive throughout. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after Mister and our home again!
Venice had a lovely time with Christie. Christie kept us updated with photos so we had no concerns and we could see Venice was more than happy. Venice was calm and settled when we returned home at the end of the week. We highly recommend Christie as the perfect cat sitter.
Harvey is a wonderful dog sitter. He has sat for us on multiple occasions for 2 very different types of dogs (older and more chilled; younger and wilder) and every time I know I can trust him to take excellent care. He is kind, considerate and punctual. He asks the right questions and sends photos while we’re out so we can enjoy ourselves knowing Chloe is having a wonderful time. Thanks Harvey!
Kelsey looked after our kitties for a week whilst we were on our honeymoon, she is wonderful with them and we felt very relaxed knowing she was with them and sending us updates on them! Thanks so much Kelsey for looking after them and for sorting the flat out and leaving it so clean! We will definitely be booking for our next holiday!
This is the second time Ryan “RT” has sat for our cats, Eric and Hattie. As with the first time, we found him easy to deal with, kind to the cats, responsible and un phased by recently added medication requirements. He also kindly sent us photos of the cats during the sit. We will definitely be asking Ryan to sit again.
It was our first experience with cat sitting through Rover. Xiangyi was brilliant! She met with us ahead of the booking to run through details and provided regular updates whilst we were away. It was reassuring to know our little floor cloud was being well looked after whilst we were away. I'd definitely recommend her, thanks Xiangyi.
I felt completely at ease leaving my two boys with Tanika. She sent regular updates and photos, which made such a difference while I was away. Milo and Finn were clearly relaxed and well cared for, and she understood their personalities straight away. I came home to two very happy cats. :) Highly recommend!
Ruthie was brilliant with Nancy our English Bulldog. I could tell immediately that Nancy felt relaxed and happy in her company. Ruthie followed my instructions perfectly and I felt completely at ease leaving Nancy in her capable hands! Would highly recommend and book again 🙂
Beau was very caring and looked after Sesame wonderfully. Even during the hot weather, he made sure Sesame was comfortable and well cared for. He followed all of the instructions we provided and kept us updated throughout. Most importantly, Sesame clearly loved spending time with him! We felt completely at ease knowing Sesame was in such good hands and would happily book with Beau again. 🐾
Elene was brilliant! She followed our care instructions perfectly and gave great updates throughout the day. Nancy warmed to her straight away and clearly felt comfortable around her even resting her head on her lap to take a nap! Would highly recommend and book again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Kingston upon Thames walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 .
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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
