Agata was a delight to work with. She provided excellent care of our two cats over a 3 day break. Kept us updated _ sent photos every day. I will certainly book her again now she has got to know them!

We’ve already booked Rohit again—he’s been brilliant with Four. His communication is excellent, and he clearly understands dogs and their individual needs. Four warmed to him straight away, and it’s great to feel so confident leaving him in capable hands. Highly recommended!

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my absolute favourite. I have taken care of my own dogs, but friends and neighbours also rely on me to take care of their pets. I always make sure to account for the needs of the pets in my care, whether they need a walk, a bathroom break, or a tummy rub. I also have a supportive family that also loves dogs. The dogs in my care have a totally supportive environment. Pets in my care always have priority. I will only agree to take care of dogs if I know that I can put them first. I have a fenced garden and a supportive family. Dogs will have access to most of the house - wherever they feel most comfortable. It is a non-smoking house. The stairs can be dog-proofed if required.

Rachel has been absolutely amazing at doing drop ins for our new rescue during the week. She always fills out the card so we get an update and pictures when she has finished. She has been helping to teach “fetch” and has given lots of cuddles. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She’s absolutely brilliant! :)

Suzanne is a fantastic cat sitter!! Can't recommend her enough. Came home to a very happy cat :) Rover cards were detailed and she was very communicative if anything came up (cat or post!) So glad I booked with Suzanne rather than going with a cattery and will definitely book again.

About: I’m a true dog lover, if there is a party I’m the first to sit with a dog and have a comfortable chat, and pat. I was very fortunate to have 17 years with my first baby, a miniature schnauzer, who I adored. The last 5 years of his life required a lot of extra care due to heart problems, and extreme sensitivity to most food. That being said, I’m good at giving medication, and have the extra patience and perseverance to make sure the dog has his proper medication in a calm, loving way. Before my dog was poorly, he was a high energetic gentleman, who loved his 3-4 walks a day. I through enjoy a pets company and like them to feel comfortable, and pampered when in my care. I am the first to volunteer to furbaby sit if any of my friends are going away, and have asked friends if I could borrow their dogs for a nice walk. I currently work remotely (at home during the day) and have two young children in their first years of school. Working from home lets me be a companion with your pet, with breaks for play, breaks in the outdoor garden area, and a nice walk (or two). I have a small high stoned wall garden with a patch of grass, and I always walk with a lead when on public pathways, usually in quiet neighbourhoods, or public parks.

About: Hi all, My name is Raquel and I am Canine Behaviourist. I have my small Business called Treat and Trail - Canine Wellness where I offer training along other services. In addition, I worked as an assistant Canine Behaviourist at Fern Ember Dog Behaviourist. My approach follows the Thinking-Dog method, build around making all pups feel comfortable, calm and connected. The idea behind this is all about the dog’s wellbeing, their safety and comfort. I previously worked as a dog walker during my time as a student, specialising in high-energetic dogs, tailoring walks to their needs and combining running sessions with enrichment activities. I owned different breeds and temperaments, from puppies to adults and seniors, including reactive dogs. Furthermore, I am comfortable with big boisterous dogs, small fearful dogs or socially anxious dogs. All of them deserve to enjoy a caring space with free of judgement where their only concern is about how much fun and care will receive. I have full availability and can take care of your canine companions. I own my home and I only share it with my two-years-old staffy cross, Freya. We are big adventure explorers and love finding muddy walks, climbing, swimming, running and jumping obstacles. I completely understand how nerve-racking it is to leave your dog with a stranger, either for an hour or a night. For this reason, my approach would always be to include a free of charge meet and greet with the dog parents, take a walk in the area together and discuss all your concerns. My priority is for your dog and yourself to feel relaxed and trust that your dog is in good hands. Additionally, I am fully insured and DBS checked. I have a fenced garden with lovely views to the dog park. My dog, Freya, and I are less than 10 minutes to the common, and we are ready for an adventure, as mentioned. If your dog is staying a night, we will need to prearrange a meeting with my dog, Freya and trial night to understand if your dog feels comfortable and wants social interactions. If booking my services as a dog-walker, I will take your dog individually if requested.

She is knowledgeable and caring, always making sure they get lots of interaction and affection. Knowing Renata is checking in on them gives us piece of mind (we also get lots of photos) :)

About: I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with dogs as a child (picture of my first dog, Murphy, attached!) and also to have my own dogs for the past 8 years - both big and small in breed. The handsome dachshund in my photos is Buzz, who loved nothing more than to come on adventures and squirrel hunt. A couple of years ago I adopted Olive and Willow from Turkey, the two beautiful girls next to me in my profile photo. They’re the most extravagant souvenirs I think I will ever bring back from a holiday! I found them whilst in Turkey with my family. They’d been abandoned as puppies and Willow in particular was in a terrible state, so weak she couldn’t even stand. Fast forward 4 months of them quarantining with a lovely Turkish family, going through all the required tests and checks, posing for a passport photo and road tripping across Europe - they finally arrived to their forever home with me in Lincoln in December 2023. The change in them has been amazing to watch and they’re now happy, confident, obedient, loving, hilarious - and mischievous! There were some tough moments for us all whilst they settled in and decompressed, but seeing what time, patience and love has done for them has been incredible and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. My mum says I’m obsessed with them, and I am! Olive and Willow are Anatolian Shepherd mix and have therefore given me experience caring for and handling larger breeds. Last year Willow was sadly diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia (as a result of her bad start in life) for which she has had daily medication and recently undergone total hip replacement surgery. I therefore also have experience in catering for medical needs and administering medication. I am also able to cater to any dietary requirements - including giving supplements. My pets are part of my family and I do all I can to give them the best life possible and reciprocate the unconditional love they give to me. I understand that you often need support to look after a pet, particularly around work and other personal commitments, and have used dog walking services for my own pets for many years. I therefore know how daunting it can be to trust someone else with your pets care, safety and happiness, how important it is to find the right person and what qualities are needed - kindness, patience, resilience, honesty, reliability. I promise to treat your pet/s with the same care and love as I do my own. I have also experience caring for cats, tortoises, fish, hamsters, rabbits, and chickens. I am in the process of a career change and therefore fortunate to currently have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will therefore be my sole priority during my visit, walk or stay with them. I will always do my best to accommodate the times and schedules that suit you and your pet/s best and ensure their normal routine and schedule is adhered to as far as possible. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, and always prioritise their safety, happiness and wellbeing. Before caring for your pet under any service, I will arrange a meet and greet to introduce myself and discuss what you would, or wouldn’t like me to do during any booking so there is transparency and to ensure that I’m the right fit for you and your pet/s. I will care for and respect your home during any visit and give you regular updates.

About: Myself and my partner, Jonah, have cared for many dogs after using borrow my doggy, caring for neighbours dogs and on Rover. The longest we cared for a 4 legged friend was 3 months, he left such a large hole in our lives that we adopted hula 3 years ago. We love taking Hula and borrowed dogs on long walkies so your pup would be in great hands for walkies and playtime. We believe that if the dogs pawrents 🐾 are on holiday, so should they. So we try to do fun and exciting activities when I looking after dogs. Such as beach days, ice cream dates and trips into town. Im currently a student and spend most days at home with Hula (Jonah) so would love to spend time with more dogs. My partner (Jess) works full time but is off at weekends to go walkies and have playtime. We have a garden with a 6ft fence/high walls so dogs cant escape, and am happy to put dogs in separate rooms or in a crate depending on your dogs needs. But we allow Hula in all rooms in the house and feel that dogs should be allowed where the humans are.

About: my family have had an encyclopaedia of animals since I was a baby, from dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, cockatiels, love birds, Tropical fish, rabbits and Guinea pigs. I am now currently in my 30s with 2 children and 2 of the most energetic loving border collies. I often take care of all my families pets when they are away on holiday. I have had the rare opportunity of looking after my brothers chicks, from egg to chick to juvenile. I am currently working part time trying to make my way in the animal business, I have 2 children who are currently at school so am available from 9:30 am to 2:45pm Monday, Tuesday and Friday to play and have fun with your pets. Weekends are strictly family time. For walking I ensure I have lots of suitable treats, and an on the go water bottle ready for your pet and those long journeys we will take, along with very sturdy leads! My dogs love to pull because of their breed, so I make sure only to use the best of the best. I have a cushioned base in my car for comfort and suitable safety harnesses for the drive, because a walk around the block is just simply not suitable all the time. Accompanied with a long line lead, to build and develop that trust, so your dog can run but stay safe.

About: I have loved, adored and cared for various four-legged friends including my very own cocker spaniel Ellie; this has included all breeds small, large and of all ages. Now that I have recently moved and no longer own a canine of my own, I am ready to give all my love and cuddles to your best friend, from drop-in visits, to adventurous walks that are pawfect for your pooch. My promise is to meet all your dogs need while your away, as I understand no dog is the same; this I believe is what makes them the very best companions and truly man's best friend, with all their wonder, and their love for life and those around them ... can it really get any better than seeing that smile on your dog's face. I currently work as a practice nurse on Monday - Fridays. Meaning that my weekends are fully available with no commitments to tend to your four legged friend! I will ensure to follow your rules, and will have a pre visit with every owner to set out the expectations you have. I will send regular pictures and updates when walking or visiting your dog, so that you can be at ease while your away and know that your best friend is safe.

About: Council licences, qualified in pet care and first aid, dbs checked and insured. I devote myself to your animals, and am available to look after your dogs at anytime. Both my dogs love being with other dogs… they’re fully used to other dogs in the house as all of my family has a dog so the house often has up to 5 dogs in it. I can cater to any requirements. Offering a genuine animal-loving household with many years of hands-on experience. Having raised a Shih Tzu and a high-energy working Cocker Spaniel from puppies (now 11 and 2), and also had cats, horses, fish and chameleons. I am very active and used to meeting different needs — my Cocker Spaniel enjoys daily long countryside walks/ runs i take him on, often up to 7 miles, while my Shih Tzu follows a calmer routine due to being older and gets up to 30mins of walking in the evening. My dogs are friendly, well socialised, and comfortable around other dogs. Having boarded very wide range of dogs which have all become very quickly a part of our family, sleeping with us if necessary and always enjoying cuddles in the sofa in the evening. I am fully available and able to dedicate plenty of time, care, and attention to your pets. I understand every pet is part of the family and am always happy to follow individual routines to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I have completed a diploma in pet sitting and dog walking which has given me the training and knowledge required to cater to your animals needs.

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! Before my loyal Malinois, Four, turned me into a full-on dog person, I was a lifelong cat lover—so I truly understand both feline independence and canine companionship. I offer calm, trustworthy care shaped by years of hands-on experience with a range of pets, from affectionate lap cats to high-energy, working-breed dogs. Thanks to Four, I also have experience supporting dogs with pulling, reactivity, and basic training needs—so I know how to keep walks safe and stress-free. My partner Scott often lends a hand on walks and drop-ins—we’re both passionate about animals and committed to providing gentle, reliable care. Whether your pet needs company, exercise, or just a steady presence while you're away, I tailor my care to suit their personality and routine. Because your pet deserves a Five-Star experience! I work full time during the week, but caring for animals is a core part of my daily life. I walk my own dog, Four, every day—rain or shine—so I’m used to fitting pet care around a busy schedule. I don’t work weekends or during school holidays, which gives me extra flexibility for drop-ins and walks. My partner Scott is also an animal lover and often supports with afternoon visits when needed, but I’m always the main point of contact and responsible for bookings and care. Pet care is second nature in our household! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I hold a current DBS check and treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own dog, Four. When walking dogs, I ensure they’re secure on a lead—especially those with reactivity or pulling tendencies—and always check the environment for potential hazards. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure space tailored to your pet’s needs. For drop-ins, I create a calm, familiar environment for your pet by sticking to their usual routine—feeding, providing fresh water, and giving them the attention they’re used to. I take extra care to follow any specific instructions from you, and I’m always happy to send updates to keep you reassured. Whether your pet is a dog or a cat, I treat them with kindness, respect, and care, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in their environment.

About: Note: Rates on this platform differ slightly from my direct bookings due to Rover platform requirements. Hi, I’m Ashleigh – a qualified animal enthusiast with over 8 years of experience studying and caring for animals. My passion and empathy for animals have always been a part of who I am, and from a very young age, I knew I wanted to pursue a career working with them. After leaving school, I went to college to study animals, which eventually led me to earn a BSc in Animal Behaviour & Welfare. Along the way, I’ve gained hands-on experience working and volunteering in rescue centres, daycares, zoos, aquariums, and wildlife rehabilitation. This has provided me with the amazing opportunity to work with a wide range of species – from dogs, cats, and rabbits to snakes, penguins, armadillos, octopuses, and rhinos! After a short break from studying, I’ll soon be starting an MRes in Animal Behaviour & Welfare, and my research will be centred around reptile cognition. I am committed to building on my understanding of how and why animals think and behave the way they do. Understanding an animals behaviour isn’t just fascinating – it’s essential to providing the best possible care and building trust-based relationships. Driven by my knowledge and lifelong passion for animals, I began offering my own services some time ago to just a few clients alongside my work and studies. I’ve now decided to take the next step and officially launch Tails & Scales Pet Care – providing trustworthy, personalised care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Services I provide: 🐕‍🦺 Solo dog walk – dedicated one-on-one time tailored to your dog’s needs 🐇 Pet sitting – in-home care while you’re away, keeping your pets comfortable in their own space 🐈 Drop-in visits – check-ins for feeding, playtime, company, and a toilet break 🐢 Experienced care for scaly, slimy, feathery, and creepy-crawly pets Whether you need regular walks, a one-off pet sit, or the occasional drop-in visit, I’m here to make life easier for you and more comfortable for your animals. Every pet I care for is treated like one of my own – no matter their shape, size, or quirks. I am a full-time pet sitter/dog walker. I will try my best to be available for any requests and to meet your needs - just ask! I only offer 1-2-1 care, or care for pets from the same household for safety reasons, and to ensure every animal in my care is getting the necessary attention and devotion! Happy to follow safe and sensible owner instruction regarding care and routine for your animal/s in your own home.

Once again Suzanne looked after our cat, Apollo. She could not do enough and as I have previously said wouldn’t want anyone else to look after him. In the recent heatwave Suzanne did everything she could to keep him cool. She really cares about animals and I know she loves Apollo.

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.

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.
