About: I take care of friends dogs for long and short periods of time when they are holiday / working / busy. They rely on me all day to walk, feed, care for etc. I am available weekdays to look after dogs all day / a time period / take them on walks as I work from home. I can pick them up too. I live in a spacious house. The house has a fenced courtyard meaning easy access to outside space for dogs to use. I live with my partners who is at work in the day.
“Andy took amazing care of our dog, making her feel completely at ease with his calm and positive approach. His professionalism and kindness gave us total peace of mind, and we returned to a very happy dog. We’ll definitely be using his services again!”

“Amanda was amazing with my fur babies. She kept us up to date and shared photos, and made us feel reassured. We thoroughly recommend Amanda and will be using her again in the future.”
“Rebekah was absolutely brilliant! Wonderful communication and she looked after our girl so well! Can’t recommend her enough! This was the first time anyone other than family had looked after our puppy and I was apprehensive but Rebekah took the time to come over beforehand and familiarise herself with Rosie and her routine. Thank you so much for being so caring and attentive to Rosie ❤️”
“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: 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’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!
“Review by Jessica (Aged 7) Megan makes our boys feel safe and looked after. They really enjoy seeing her and love her giving them treats and toys to play with Thank you very much, Megan.”
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: 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: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s the playful energy of puppies, the gentle patience needed for senior pets, or just giving a furry friend extra love and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is the way I combine responsibility with genuine care. I don’t just “watch” pets, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, so they get consistent care even when you’re away. I’m also very reliable with schedules, detail-oriented with instructions, and confident in handling pets of different temperaments. From long walks to cozy cuddle time, I adapt to what makes your pet feel their best. I am an embryologist, and some days I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. Because of this, I can be available during the day as well as evenings, and I always make sure to give each pet the time and attention they need. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m reliable and happy to adapt around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely so their routine stays familiar and stress-free. I keep a close eye on their behavior and needs, making sure they always feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I treat every home with respect, leaving it just as I found it, and making sure both you and your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I pay attention to small details; from double-checking doors and gates, to ensuring food, water, and litter trays are clean and fresh. My goal is to provide not just reliable care, but also peace of mind, knowing your pet is in safe and loving hands.
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 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 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.
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 loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have lots of experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. Growing up, I had a Yorkshire Terrier called Rosie, who was part of our family for 18 years. Having Rosie throughout her life gave me experience with everything from the energy of a younger dog to the extra patience, attention and care that senior dogs can need. I’ve also walked dogs through BorrowMyDoggy in both Sheffield and London, as well as dog sitting for friends on a number of occasions, caring for both younger and older dogs. These experiences have made me comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines and needs. I genuinely love being around dogs and enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to cuddles and keeping them company. I’ll always treat every dog with kindness, patience and plenty of affection. I currently work part-time as a play worker at St Michael’s Primary School in Lichfield, with split shifts from 7:30–9:00am and 3:00–6:00pm. This gives me plenty of flexibility during the day to fit pet care naturally into my routine, including walks, home visits, feeding and spending quality time with pets. Outside of work, I also help care for my nan, who has dementia, so being patient, dependable and caring is already a big part of my everyday life. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for, whether I’m looking after them in their own home or mine. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide around feeding, walks, playtime and general care. I’m patient and attentive, and I’m happy to give pets plenty of affection and company while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or nervous. I’ll treat every pet with the same kindness and care I’d want for my own.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Lichfield is £12

Hayley was amazing looking after Smudge. On our initial meeting, it was obvious that she is some kind of cat whisperer! Smudge took to her straight away with her calm nature, which put me at ease. Hayley sent me daily messages and photos which was amazing. I would definitely recommend Hayley and will happily use her services again in the future. Thank you Hayley.
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! 💕😽

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.

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.
