About: I have missed our family pet very much and would love to be able to spend a bit of time with a furry friend. I have always been passionate about animals from a young age, I donate to various charities and did work experience at a boarding kennels. I am keen to get fit and healthy for the new year and would love a companion to take on long walks. I’d be happy to help with anything if I can and have always enjoyed meeting new people. If there’s anything else you need to ask please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am lucky enough to be flexible with time for pet care at the moment. With a bit of notice it shouldn't be a problem! Whether at my home or yours I will cater for your pet as if they are my own. I live close to some lovely walks.

“Max came home relaxed and tired. Deirdre was lovely with Max, took him on 2 walks, and sent me updates with photos. Really glad to know that Max gets along very well with Sid. I’d definitely love for her to look after him again.”
About: I’m a proud and loving dog mom to a Cockapoo and have hands on experience with both Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, especially working dogs. Over the years, I’ve raised multiple puppies from their earliest stages, so I understand the patience, consistency, and extra attention they need to grow into happy, well adjusted dogs. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs, providing the gentleness, patience and a routine they rely on. My personal experience as a lifelong dog lover and caretaker means I treat every pup like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, whether we’re on a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together. Because I work from home five days a week, I have plenty of flexibility and time to give pets the attention they need throughout the day. I already take myself out for two walks daily, so it’s easy to bring a dog along for fresh air, exercise, and a change of scenery. This routine means I can offer regular toilet breaks, playtime, and cuddles :) I have a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for playtime and fresh air, and I can easily accommodate crates if your dog is more comfortable with their own space or routine. I also share my home part time with my own Cockapoo - Alfie, who is super friendly and well socialised. He’s with me about 2 out of 4 weeks a month, and he loves having a playmate around. When he’s here, I make sure all introductions are done slowly and safely so everyone feels at ease.
“Coco enjoyed her stay with Shuang. She seemed comfortable and relaxed in her home and got taken for a couple of walks throughout the day. We got regular updates and Shuang was very flexible on our collection time (we were running a bit late). We would definitely book for Coco to stay again :)”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets in the household and I’m now lucky enough to be the proud owner of Betty, my 2 year old Cocker Spaniel and Coba my 6 year old male Bengal. Both are great with other animals as they’ve grown up around them. I believe pets should be treated as part of the family so I will look after them like they’re my own and am happy for them to cuddle up on the sofa with me. I also live near fields and woodlands which is great for dog walks. I am currently on maternity leave, meaning I am at home full time so can be very flexible with bookings and am available evenings and weekends. I have a fenced garden and two friendly pets of my own for your fur baby to play/cuddle up with. I also live walking distance from parks, fields and woodlands that are great for dog walks. I live in a 3 bedroom house so plenty of room for boarding and doggy day care and I have a spare crate that can be used if needed as my own puppy is crate trained.
“I really appreciate Ash and Jas looking after Oatmeal. They treated him like their own, communicated well and were reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future :) Thank you!”
About: I have looked after and Owned dogs from big to small since the age of 11. At the age of 15 I had looked after along with my parents our first litter of puppies since then many more litters. along with looking after family k9 friends from walking them to sitting this is something I still do now and looking to expand my furry friends to full time. I have also taken part and instructed puppy training classes at a novice level so hopefully there will be some teaching along the way. I personally have 2 French bulldog puppies that are very playful and loving who cant wait to meet you I currently work part time and currently have a few furry friends on board this being said I do plan to take this on full time so there will be plenty of time for new friends. Just contact me and I’ll be sure to find time to schedule you in. As I would like to keep the pet sitting to a minimum, as it’s the walks that are more enjoyable to me, I am a very trustworthy person and the sitting would take place in my pet-friendly home, where I have two Frenchies that are very welcoming and love new friends to play with. You can be assured that they are very safe while under my care and in my home.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Lichfield
This was the first time we had ever left Molly with anyone, so we were a little hesitant about it. There was no need to be, Claudia was superb. We had already had a pre meeting with her and from then she put our minds at ease. On the day, she sent us messages and pictures of Molly to show how she was getting on. Claudia is a lovely girl and is experienced in looking after dogs and dedicated in doing so. If ever we need a dog minder in the future, we would not hesitate in choosing Claudia.
Evie looked after my dog for the day at very short notice and was incredibly flexible which I really appreciated. She put me completely at ease when I dropped my dog off and it was lovely to receive photos throughout the day. I was very happy with the care she provided and would definitely use Evie again. Highly recommended!
Coco enjoyed her stay with Shuang. She seemed comfortable and relaxed in her home and got taken for a couple of walks throughout the day. We got regular updates and Shuang was very flexible on our collection time (we were running a bit late). We would definitely book for Coco to stay again :)
Paige took such great care of our cavapoo Molly - even though it was her first time looking after Molly, molly instantly took to her and her family and seemed to settle in so well. She was really responsive and sent us some update photos - would definitely use her again!

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 Lichfield 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 West Midlands 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 .
