“Richard and Bee looked after Chowie like as though she was their own - and that's as high of a compliment as I can pay! Never once did we feel uneasy or anxious while Chowie was with them, and that serves as a testament to how caring, thoughtful and loving they were. Always great at providing regular updates with messages, photos and videos too - the cherry on top! We will definitely be keen to rely on Richard and Bee again in the future, and I know Chowie is definitely looking forward to seeing them again too!”

About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.

“Five stars isn't enough for Sotiria! She took care of our dog, Bandit, during the bank holiday, and she was absolutely brilliant. Professional, caring, and Bandit clearly adored her.

About: I grew up around dogs so they have always been a large part of my life. Along with my own, I often care for friends+family’s pets. I have experience with dogs of all ages - towards the end of his life, my senior dog was unable to use his back legs so he required special care and attention. Due to this, he also became incontinent so I am especially skilled with senior care. However, I am currently the owner of a pug puppy and so, I am perfectly capable of keeping up with the demands of an active puppy as well! As I am currently available all the time, he has my undivided attention, as will your dog also! I am available all the time which means constant love and care for your dog and plenty of playtime! I can also provide walks as often as needed. I have a large fenced garden which is perfect for playtime! I also have a friendly pug puppy who loves to play with other dogs and will be more than happy to share his toys & treats! There is plenty of space for your dog to run around, and also relax when it’s time to wind down. I have an aircon unit in my living room which has been very helpful in cooling the house down, especially during the high temperatures we’ve been having. I can also accommodate to any specific needs!

Julia and her partner Celso are both amazing people and a beautiful couple. They looked after my girl Raven with such great care, love and kindness. Honestly couldn’t have more high praise. I was updated throughout the day with pics, vids and information. At all times, I was assured about her safety and wellbeing. Thank you for looking after my lil angel with such great care. Best wishes, - E.
Amanda was absolutely amazing with our dog Whiskey. All household were incredibly caring, attentive, and made sure our dog was happy, comfortable, and well looked after throughout his stay. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Whiskey came home happy, settled, and clearly had a fantastic time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you so much, Amanda!
I had such a great experience with Smavia ✨ She looked after my British shorthair for 2 weeks and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She regularly kept me updated and sent me lots of lovely photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my cat was happy, comfortable and very well looked after. I really appreciated how thoughtful and attentive she was throughout the two weeks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their cat. I’ll happily book with her again! 🐾❤️
Chang was fantastic with my 2 cats, was available on really short notice and both were so happy! She made sure to send pictures and send updates, make sure they were comfortable and this was my first time letting them stay elsewhere and I'd definitely let her do it again!
Would really recommend Richard and his Partner to anyone looking for a sitter. I first met them with my dog in the park before confirming the booking. The process they have set up is very professional and made me feel safe. During my dogs stay I had regular updates and photos. If I had any queries they were quick to respond. I also had some complications with my travels in which I had to extend last minute and they were so supportive. Will definitely be booking again. My dog was also very pleased with his stay seeing as he hardly wanted to leave haha
Highly Recommended I can’t thank Evridiki enough for looking after Teddy for 8 days while we were away on holiday. ❤️ She was absolutely amazing with him and treated him with so much care, love and attention. Evridiki kept us updated regularly throughout our holiday with lovely pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy Teddy was. 🐶🥰 It was clear that Teddy was very well looked after and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Evridiki to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy and reliable to look after their dog. Thank you so much, Evridiki, for taking such good care of our Teddy! ❤️🐾 We would definitely use her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!
Rob and hayley was amazing with my dogs, they go the extra mile, my doggies suffer with separation anxiety really bad, rob and hsyley did everything possible to my dogs at ease, comfortable and settled. Absolutely amazing family, you would get peace of mind leaving your pets here,
Holly O looked after Alfie for the weekend while I travelled for my daughter's wedding. First time Alfie has been looked after other than the family in 10 years. Holly sent photos of Alfie and kept me informed of his wellbeing, he felt at ease with Holy and she is organised and love's looking after dogs. Would I recommend Holly O definitely. Thank you Holly O, you made Alfie feel welcomed in your home.

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.

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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
