“Lesley was really attentive to Wallace who can be, some what of an attention seeker. We had a lot of communication prior to the sit that made me feel very comfortable. Lesley also took really good care of me of our home whilst we were away. Thank you!”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a child myself and had a dog as a kid. Since then my own parents have had other dogs which I’ve obviously loved and cared for as and when, whilst unable to have a dog of my own. Circumstances - ie work - mean I can’t commit to having my own dog full time, to my son’s dismay, but we have so much love and affection for dogs that Rover is a perfect fit for us. I’ve only ticked availability for when my son and I can live our best life and share that time with your beautiful dog. We are always out and about exploring Lichfield and living life to the fullest…and spending time with a pooch pal would complete that way of life! Full disclosure we live in a flat but is as pet friendly as flats can be. We literally live opposite Stowe Pool playing fields and like I say to my 9-year-old, we have one of the biggest gardens in Lichfield. We would love a dog to walk, to stay with us and maybe even play cricket with us!
About: I have had over 10 years experience with dogs, either as my own (we previously had a lurcher) or via apps such as this one. I recently bought my own business and am therefore able to work flexibly, allowing for dog walking and pet sitting. I have 3 boys which keep me busy but would like to spend some time with animals too. My husband Darren has previous helped me out with dog walking (he is a huge dog lover also!) however this was with the permission of the dog owner. My kids have been around the dogs if I brought them back to our house, however this again was with permission of the owner. I am happy to administer medications, give cuddles, go for walks, make sure they are fed, etc. happy to discuss individual needs and make sure the pet has what they need to be happy and healthy.
“Sammie arrived promptly at our house and immediately got on well with our cocker spaniels, Lucy & Rosie. She sent us photos and videos throughout the day, especially some great ones from their outing to a local dog walking field. When we arrived home late at night, our dogs had clearly been well looked after. We would have no hesitation in booking Sammie again and in recommending her to others.”
About: Animals are way better than humans! I am a very loving carer and owner of my two amazing pugs Gem and Jake and they are the best! I am a very active dog owner who is happy to take those short journeys for the little ones to the big walks for our more active fur babies. I have plenty of fenced back garden area for your beauts to play around. I have a good understanding of animal care and applying and administering medications. I have looked after pets (Mainly dogs) since being the age 18 and love every species of every living creature. ( No spiders get killed in my house) 🥰. I work from home part time and find I spend more time with my fur babies than actually work lol. They seriously make my day and my life revolves around my pets. I am happy and have enough room to accommodate up to two fur babies at the same time alongside my Fur babies. I spend all my spare time with my Gem and Jake and love them getting to socialise with other dogs too. I will send you regular videos and updates and I am happy to communicate with your selves on any questions. I also will come to your property for one hour visits to feed/walk your fur baby. I allow my pets free range of the house and my house is set up to accommodate this. I am happy for you to bring anything that will help your fur baby to settle and feel secure. We have a small dog flap and a high fenced secure back garden with plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and play.
About: Hello, I'm Courtney, first of all thank you for stopping by to read my profile! So about me... I have around 15 years of personal experience in the care of cats and dogs from small to large. I also completed a level 3 animal management diploma at Rodbaston college and passed with a triple distinction star, one of the modules during the course was to bathe and care for dogs. I also completed a placement, during this time, at a cattery where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning and playing with the cats that were boarded there. You can be assured that your furry companion will get plenty of exercise and playtime during their time in my care. I am currently in the very early stages of self employment within the cleaning industry and therefore, have full availability at the moment. I do have the flexibility to arrange work around a schedule that suits you are your requirements. I have a fully enclosed, rear back garden and also live a stones throw away from Shortbutts park which is dog friendly so there is plenty of space for play and exercise during your pooches stay.
About: I have many years of experience looking after my own animals in the past but due to work commitments i havnt had one of my own recently. I look after my daughters dog on a regular basis and would like to help you too . I love dogs and cats and now that i am semi retired i would love to help look after yours. Enhanced DBS available to check. Drop in visits for cats and walks for dogs available from reliable and friendly lady. Have always been an animal lover. Enhanced DBS if required.
About: NOTE: I am only able to confirm availability for summer bookings (June - Mid September) at the moment. Please feel free to express interest in dates outside of the summer months but understand I cannot make promises on availability. I am a qualified veterinarian who also has three years pet sitting experience. I can provide top-tier, compassionate care for your beloved pets whilst you are away. My medical background means that you can have complete peace of mind knowing you animal is in the hands of a trained professional who can competently administer medications, manage specific health needs and spot subtle changes in behaviour and well-being. Whether it is honouring daily routines, specialised medical care or simply providing love and attention, I treat every animal as if they are my own, giving you total comfort and confidence when you are on your travels. I am fairly flexible for the foreseeable future to allow for increased demand of pet sitting services over summer and due to taking a break for the veterinary industry after my recent graduation. I exclusively offer pet sitting services at the pets own home, I have found this is far more beneficial for the animal's well-being. I am totally respectful of the animal's environment and your home and very willing to take out the bins or turn lights on/off if needed.
“Lisa was absolutely fantastic with our dog Bailey. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Bailey loved his stay, looked completely at home, and we could tell he was truly cared for. The regular updates while we were on holiday meant the world to us. We’d definitely rebook without hesitation.”
About: I have worked professionally with pets for 20 years with many breeds. I have a love for all creatures big and small, including cats, dogs, small mammals and reptiles. I have also trained dogs and worked with reactive dogs. I enjoy spending my time caring for and playing with pets. I am very active and enjoy walking, so walking with pets is a pleasure. I can fit pet care around my schedule and can be flexible with requests. I have a spacious, dog-proof garden with high walls all around. I have fenced off sections of the garden so can keep dogs separate if needed. We have a modern, warm home with comfy sofas, beds and bean bags for dogs to cuddle up on. I have experience in canine first aid and I’m also happy to groom/ bath dogs and have an extensive collection of grooming equipment.
“Five star dog sitter. Thank you so much for looking after my young Border collie. Keeping me informed and updated ,with photo's & videos while I was elsewhere. Gave me peace of mind . Will definitely use you again. Highly recommend 👌”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own rescue dog and two rescue cats, as well as volunteering with a local dog rescue. My experience with rescue animals has taught me the importance of patience, understanding and adapting care to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventure and playtime or prefers a calmer approach, I tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m particularly experienced with nervous and anxious pets and understand that some dogs thrive on quieter walks, extra reassurance and one-to-one attention. My priority is always to provide a positive, stress-free experience for your pets while giving you complete peace of mind that they’re in caring and reliable hands. I’m currently fully flexible and focusing on growing my pet care business, PlottPaw Adventure, full-time, allowing me to offer reliable and adaptable care for dogs and cats throughout the day 🐾 I specialise in calm, personalised pet care, including solo walks, drop-in visits, companionship visits, and one-to-one support, particularly for anxious, nervous, senior, or rescue pets 💚 Building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me, and I’m passionate about providing attentive, patient and dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine and personality. Your pet’s comfort, safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I take a calm, patient and attentive approach to care, tailoring every visit to your pet’s individual routine, personality and comfort levels, particularly for rescue or anxious animals. Whether they enjoy energetic play, quiet companionship or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs while providing regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our pup Sora. It’s hard to find the words to cover the attention he’s been given during house sitting. You can just tell that Craig and his team (thank you Jodie!) adore all animals. We would absolutely book them again.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I have experience looking after dogs of different ages and personalities, and I understand the importance of providing them with a safe, caring, and fun environment. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them company and attention, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time and am available for dog walks and daycare on my days off. I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for them, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I have a friendly Cockapoo who lives as part of the family and is free to roam throughout the house. My home has a large, secure, fully fenced garden where my dog can safely exercise, play, and go outside regularly. I ensure my pet has access to fresh water, a comfortable resting area, daily exercise, and plenty of attention and care

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 Lichfield 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 Lichfield 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. 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.
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.
