“Andrew recently looked after our Golden Doodle for a weekend doing drop in visits. Would highly recommend, he took such great care of our dog, and kept us informed and sent pictures on each visit. Will definitely be using Andrew again. Thankyou!”
“Jill did a perfect job looking after Jess. She also went the extra mile watering my plants, keeping me updated with regular messages and photographs and contacting us about a household emergency whilst we were away. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone considering a reliable cat sitter.”
“Such a lovely lady, looked after our cat really well and really took her time to try and get our very quiet cat to interact. We will definitely be booking again, thankyou”
“Couldn't ask for a better cat sitter. Amanda always provides updates and treats my cats with the love and care they deserve. Knowing Amanda will be there for my boys while I'm away puts my mind at ease 🩷”
“Bex has done a fantastic job of visiting my house cat Luna in my home while I've been away on business. She came to see us first so she could fully understand my cats personality & routine. I liked how she interacted so gently with Luna when we first met & Bex sent me regular messages & photos via the app while I was away so I didn't have to worry. Bex is a lovely person, her career & qualifications are in animal welfare & she is DBS checked so I felt very comfortable leaving Luna & my house in her very safe & competent hands. I highly recommend!”
“Megan was excellent. I came home to a happy cat who had been kept fed and watered! Before my holiday, Megan kept in contact to make sure details were up to date and if she needed to amend timings, she made it clear and always asked if it would work for Rory. She meant that I could visit my daughter at Christmas, and not once was I concerned about my cat. She didn’t, of course, actually get to pet him: as I predicted! 😊 Thanks Megan, I’ll be very happy for you to look after Rory next time I’m away.”
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!
“Another wedding !! So Charlotte was on hand to come in and give my 3 their tea and have some play time and them come back in later to give Jess her medication.... she is a star! .... meaning we could enjoy my god daughters wedding without worrying about getting back for their tea time or Jess' meds routine. - Toby had his toys ready as soon as she came through the door im sure 🐶.... it is such a relief when you have nervous, anxious rescue dogs and cat that you can go out in the knowledge and trust that someone who cares and has the knowledge of them just as much as you will be there with them ......it allows you to actually 'enjoy' the event your going to 😊........ 5* review i would totally recommend Charlotte to anyone especially anyone who has nervous /rescue furbabies ❤️🐶🐶🐈⬛”

I follow the pet owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any medication needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and I keep an eye out for any changes in behaviour that might indicate something's wrong. Then i will notify the owner if needed
“Stacey provided a first class service. Our cats couldn't have been made to feel more special and cared for whilst we were away. Great updates provided after every visit. I can honestly say that I think they were a little disappointed when we returned home. We've already booked Stacey again. Thoroughly recommended.”
About: My family and I have always had dogs! Family and friends have relied on me to look after their precious pooches numerous times. Our family home isn’t the same since losing our precious boy of 15years! We want to share our home and love of dogs with others. We live in a lovely area with lots of lovely walks and have a secure garden. I understand the anxieties you feel on leaving your precious fur baby but can guarantee your dog will be looked after as if he/she is our own. We will keep up with any routine your dog is used to and keep you updated with pictures and communication to reassure and give you peace of mind to ease any anxieties you may be feeling! We would advise you arrange a meet up at our home to ensure you feel comfortable and confident about leaving your dog in our care and more importantly to get your doggies approval! Looking forward to meeting you and your pawfect pooch for lots of love and cuddles!! I work part time hours over 3 1/2 days a week, 5 minutes away from our home. My husband Jason works from home. Our daughter Ella is a university student who is also at home. We are at home over the weekend. We have a secure garden, lots of lovely walks nearby. We will strive to keep your dog in any routine they are used to! Have previously administered animal medication. If your dog is used to being crated that’s fine, but equally happy to share the sofa and bed if that’s what they’re happy with. We aim to provide a home from home environment for your fur baby!
About: - I have three cats, all of which I have cared for since they were kittens. - I have over five years of cat-raising experience. - During this time, I have helped my cats through giving birth, cared for cats with feline panleukopenia, and have experience administering medication. I am a full-time housewife. Other than taking my child to school and handling daily household chores, I am available to take care of your mother and spend time keeping her company. I prefer to care for pets in my own home because I am a full-time mum and need to look after my child. However, if the job only requires feeding twice a day and cleaning the litter box, I am able to help with that.
About: I’ve looked after many kind of animals but more specifically dogs. I have cared for many breeds from springer spaniels to pugs. I have also cared for gun dogs and done basic training with working dogs. I can offer a flexible schedule to meet your needs. As I do university from home I can work around my academic schedule to suit your pets needs. I care for pets in my own home using a specific structure based off the needs of the owner. Whatever the owner would like me to do I can put it into a routine to ensure their animal gets the best treatment as possible.
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.
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.
“Thank you Jarrad. From original enquiry to booking, Jarrad was helpful and had great communication. Followed all instructions and looked after Abi well. Good updates and pictures on visits help put your mind at ease. Would happily recommend.”
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.
About: From the age of 16 I dog groomed for 2 years.. I then went onto walk a few of the customers dogs on a regular basis daily/weekly. I’ve had many dogs in the family home growing up but now that I have a career, I don’t have enough time to to dedicate to an extra member of the family. I do miss having a little companion so if there’s anything I can do to help you out I would be more than happy to. I work shifts 4-5 times a week, I know my shifts for a year in advance so just let me know when you need me and we can arrange a time that suits both. I won’t care for pets in my own home as my property isn’t suitable at the moment, if that’s an issue let me know how we can work around it.

Lam was brilliant from the moment I contacted her and has now looked after my 3 cats and 2 guinea pigs twice. She is very thorough and caring and I felt my animals were in very safe hands whilst I was away. I have e booked again for later in the year and would recommend Lam to anyone needing someone to care for their animals.
This was the first time we’d ever left Ari, so I was really nervous, but Rachel was absolutely brilliant and put our minds at ease from the start. She took such great care of Ari - setting up her automatic feeder, changing her water and litter, brushing her, playing with her and keeping her company while we were away. We loved the updates and photos Rachel sent while we were away. She even asked beforehand whether we’d like regular updates or would prefer to switch off and enjoy our holiday, which was really thoughtful. They made such a difference and meant we could relax knowing Ari was happy and well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Rachel again and I’m so glad we found her. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Ari! 💕😽

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.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Lichfield pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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.

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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
