“I booked Beth for a drop in visit with my crazy cockapoo and I couldn’t be happier! Maple got cuddles, a big play, a long walk and lots of fuss, and I was so happy to get lots of details and loads of cute photos too. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use Beth again! ⭐️🐾”

About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs through looking after my own dog, Max, back home, who I have taken full responsibility for. I have also regularly cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m an active person and really enjoy going on long walks. I previously had a Whippet, so I’m used to keeping dogs active and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and stimulation. Most importantly, I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am currently a university student, but I have a flexible schedule and am free for most of the day. My university commitments are generally manageable, which means I can fit pet care around my studies. I’m able to be flexible with timings and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding and giving pets the attention they need. I always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and cared for, whether they are staying in my home or I am looking after them in their own home. My previous dog was a Whippet, so I understand that they can be very affectionate and often love plenty of attention, cuddles and companionship. This has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. I would make sure pets have a calm and secure environment, with regular walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention. I also understand the importance of following the owner’s routine and instructions, as keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine helps them settle in. I’m responsible and always keep a close eye on dogs during walks and outings, while giving them lots of love and reassurance.

“Emma was fantastic! Great communication and she was brilliant with our puppy whippet, Louie. Emma did everything we requested to do. I highly recommend Emma and look forward to her visiting Louie again soon!”

About: Hello! I am a mature, reliable father of a teenage daughter. I have been working for a large dog walking and sitting business for 4 years, caring for all different breeds, sizes and temperament of dog. I am currently training as a dog groomer and have a City & Guilds Level 1 certificate in Dog Grooming and a Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ). I feel fortunate to work every day with dogs and I look forward to meetings yours! I currently work as a dog walker during the week, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I’m available for additional dog-sitting work from Thursday evening through to Tuesday morning. I also have flexible hours over the weekend, as I work on dog portrait commissions. I have four years of experience walking groups of dogs and dog sitting in my home. I hold a Level 2 Canine First Aid certificate and only care for one dog at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention. I don’t have any pets of my own, so there are no other animals in the home. I’m also close to Clissold Park and Finsbury Park, providing plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise. I always aim to provide a safe, caring environment while following each owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine.

About: I take care of my parents 6 year old french bulldog on a regular basis, prepare food and take for walks. I have bathed and washed the dog. I would love to meet other dogs and cats I currently study a masters course at uni of Lincoln. My days are generally Weds-Fri, I can do evening feeds and walks. Monday and Tuesday I can attend most of the day I will respect your home and keep it clean. I will follow safety procedures in your home. I can update you regularly on your pet if requested
“Great communicator, very caring and just wonderful to contact for sitting my kitten. Best part of that my kitten, who's scared of most strangers had no issues playing with Amy. Will contact Amy first if I need a sitter for my cat again. Recommend to everyone else.”

“Suzy was excellent, polite and friendly from the first enquiry. My cat Alfie warmed to her straight away and within seconds they were having cuddles. The feedbacl provided after each visit was great, everything done that needed to be done as well as time for some fussing for Alfie which he loves. I will definitely be asking Suzy to visit again and im sure Alfie would love to see her again. Thank you!”

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: I have taken care of animals both in my own home, and in family and friends houses. Most notably I have looked after Guide Dogs who are in training. Therefore, I have gained experience in how to look after, walk, stick to a routine and most importantly play with dogs and puppies in order to prepare them to go to Guide Dog training school. I am currently in my Second year at the University of Lincoln. Therefore, I can be flexible around my lesson times and especially on the weekends to care and play with your dogs! I have had experience caring for many different dogs so know that every dog is different, has different abilities and needs. I would aim to follow the dogs usual routine but can be flexible to match their current needs.
About: I've taken care of animals, particularly dogs, my entire life and entrusted with care by myself from around age 8. Friends and family have relied on me for the feeding, walking and bathing of their dogs and I look forward to doing the same for you! We always had animals in the house growing up, ranging from fish and hamsters to dogs and cats, so I am knowledgeable in the care of animals of all size, ages and personalities. Whether it’s a short potty break or a long adventure walk, I make sure every outing is safe and fun, hoping to make a trustworthy bond with every pet I come across! I am currently studying Psychology at the University of Lincoln and am looking for some experience of caring for animals that can develop my understanding of the effect animal-human interactions can have on mental health! Besides that, I love caring for animals and being outdoors so this is the perfect part-time role for me that can fit around my schedule which seems to vary week to week. I am able to provide care in-between and after my academic day, as well as being available on weekends, evenings and holiday periods. Since being at university, I am unable to care for animals in my own home. However, when providing care in a pet owner's home, I can ensure things are kept neat and tidy and left just as I found them. I always focus on keeping your animals safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means feeding at certain times, giving medication, or sticking to their favourite walking routes. As a trustworthy and caring individual, there is no doubt that your space, and pet, will be respected and loved until your return.

About: I’m Blu! I have been studying animal care since collage and study animal behaviour and welfare at uni! Iv had many pets through my life and always love meeting new fuzzy friends. I have worked in dog kennels and groomers along with reptile shops. I’m happy to work with any breed and behaviours and try and work on some training if wanted! Unfortunately due to student housing I am not able to take in any pets but can visit and play for a while! I am currently unemployed and have nothing to do!! At home I have a pet snake and use to have a dog who I lost to diabetes but had a verity of pets over the years. Now a days I have lots of free time (which I spend doing art) so same day calls will be no problem as I’m free most days. I use to spend a lot of time exploring with my pup, seeing new wooded places but also getting him use to loud areas. We worked on recall so when I saw him sniffing something to eat or roll in he would instead focus on me. Iv worked with many animals over the years including cat and dog behaviour training. What’s important to me is learning who I’m with and what personality they have, whether they prefer a chill cuddle or an excited play I’m down for whatever makes them happy!
“Agata responded really quickly and helped me out fairly quickly over the bank holiday weekend. She sent lots of photos of Margot and the house was really clean/tidy when I returned. I felt like Margot was in safe hands.”

“Sophie was the perfect dogsitter for a drop in with my crazy cockapoo Maple! She played, cuddled and took her for a walk, and I got a lot of photos too which I loved as I was so nervous to leave her. Will definitely use Sophie again the future! Thank you ⭐️”


About: Council licences, qualified in pet care and first aid, dbs checked and insured. Offering a true ‘home from home’ experience. 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, plus now all the boarding dogs we have. 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. Being at home weekends and all school holidays (and time in between)means no pet will be left alone for more than 3hrs. I have fully trained my spaniel from a puppy, he is able to follow many commands and regularly goes to dog shows. During school holidays (17wks) and weekends I am fully available at home consistently to be here and look after your pets. I will be home 24/7 and can walk dogs as much as required over whatever turf they’re used to. Fully enclosed large back garden with high fencing, including many pet agility jumps, hoops etc . Large house for dogs to roam free and have their own beds and rooms.
“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.

About: Hi there! I am a law student at the University of Lincoln. However, I have always had a passion for taking care of amazing animals! I have always loved dogs and I have owned 4 beautiful dogs throughout my lifetime with my family. I have had previous experience working alongside another dog sitter Emily Kennedy in Leigh-on-Sea. We both shared clients and took care of a range of different dogs. This experience taught me a lot about dogs and myself! It taught me how much I love animals and how to care for them. I currently have a dog of my own named chase as well as a tortoise named Mint! I have lots of experience with all kinds of animals and treat them all with kindness and respect. If you give me the chance to take care of your pets I can assure you you’ll be very happy with my service! I look forward to meeting you and your lovely dog. 😊 I’m available for all week days and weekends currently as my second year has came to an end and even during 3rd year I will still have a lot of availability! When I start my third year I will update my availability to make it easier to book with me.😊 When caring for your pets I will take them on walks for as long as you would like as requested. If you live near to me we have a range of local parks or grassy areas perfect for dogs! These areas are perfect for a run around and play! However I am open to all ideas and suggestions regarding your dog. As it’s important to keep a nice routine so your dog doesn’t feel stressed or uncomfortable. If you have booked for me to stay with you’re pets in your home during the day or overnight I will make sure I have walked and fed them and made sure they’ve had the best time while you are gone! I will make sure all of your loving pets are safe and happy as well as listen to any requests you may have as the owner. This is to make sure you’re dog and you are happy and feel in good safe hands!
About: I always used to look after my aunties dogs whenever I went to her house as a child, I would walk them every morning, feed them, and just look after them in general. I also occasionally look after my girlfriend's dogs and would take them on walks aswell. I love working with animals and love seeing a happy animal. I just finished sixth form so I now have a lot of free time, I am free most days of the week, but if youre unsure, just message me to see if I will be free. I've had dogs in the house before and they showed no signs of distress so I know it is a safe environment for them. I also have a large garden but unfortunately the fence isnt enough to contain most dogs. I have no animals in the house so if your pet doesnt enjoy being with other dogs, they will be happy. There are great paths and areas around my house where I can walk your dogs.
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.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Lincoln is £12

Honestly we can't thank Annie enough! We went abroad for a week and I felt so worried about leaving my cat but Annie was wonderful! Not only the usual food and litter checks but sticking around and playing with Millie! Plus pictures sent to us on a daily basis! Both Millie and I are very grateful! 🥰 🥰

I booked Beth for a drop in visit with my crazy cockapoo and I couldn’t be happier! Maple got cuddles, a big play, a long walk and lots of fuss, and I was so happy to get lots of details and loads of cute photos too. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use Beth again! ⭐️🐾

Gemma recently looked after our cat Bruno - dropping in daily to feed, play, clean and give much needed attention to him whilst we were away. I cannot rate Gemma highly enough. I have experienced less than ideal cat sitters in the past who don't provide the care and enthusiasm that Gemma does. I received daily updates with photos and felt reassured that both our cat and our home was in good hands. At the initial meet and greet, Bruno was a bit unsure and hissed but I could tell that Gemma was unphased and simply understood cats and how they can be wary at first. It can be hard leaving your cat whilst your away but they will be in safe hands with Gemma - thank you.

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! :)

Great communicator, very caring and just wonderful to contact for sitting my kitten. Best part of that my kitten, who's scared of most strangers had no issues playing with Amy. Will contact Amy first if I need a sitter for my cat again. Recommend to everyone else.

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.
