“Rachel looked after our little cocker spaniel puppy and did an absolutely amazing job. She treated him like her own and followed all of our instructions perfectly. I would definitely use Rachel again when we need someone caring to look after our puppy”
“Simply amazing. Michaela and Oto are both so lovely and leaving my 14 year old dog is normally a worry, but as soon as Michaela and Oto took him, my worries quickly disappeared! Red was very well looked after with plenty of pictures and videos everyday showing how my dog seems to be having a better time without me!! Highly recommended and will definitely be using Michaela and Oto again. Thank you again to you both ❤️💐🐕🐶”
“Natalie was amazing in taking care of Roman! She was very accommodating of Roman’s quirks and always made sure to send us multiple updates a day. She even met me halfway when I was dropping him because I was running late for my flight. I can’t thank her and her partner Andy enough for taking care of Roman because we could see how happy he was in all the photos and videos we got!! ❤️ They not only followed our instructions in terms of continuing some of his recent training but also taught him new tricks! 🥹We’ll definitely reach out to her again whenever we need a sitter”
“Bella is the love of our lives, and we had never left her with anyone before, so choosing someone to look after her was a huge decision for us. We’re a family of four plus Bella, our English Cocker Spaniel. She’s an extremely loving and active girl who needs lots of love, attention and, of course, cuddles! 🐶❤️ We found Riley on Rover and chose him after reading his lovely reviews and having a telephone conversation beforehand. We immediately felt reassured, and our experience couldn’t have been better. Bella absolutely loved her stay with Riley. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which helped us enormously and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Riley gave Bella so much love, care and attention, and it was clear how happy and comfortable she was with him. She actually misses him dearly! 🥰 We couldn’t recommend Riley highly enough and would definitely use him again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️🐾”
“Peach was so happy with Maria, whose correspondence was great; she kept us up to date with photos, and was very accommodating of Peach’s specific needs. It was evident how happy Peach was while staying with her. We would love Maria to look after Peach in the future and highly recommend her!”
“First time using Rover as a dog mum so was a little nervous but got a really good vibe from Meggie - and was not disappointed!! Super accommodating for last minute changes to the meet and greet, completely open to mine and my girlfriends directions and instructions on how we train/treat Oso, sent lots of pictures and updates - we are sooo happy we have found someone who we can trust and relax to take care of him! He clearly loves Meggie and I think the feeling is mutual, already rebooked for another stay!! :)”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I would love to be able to take them to the park! I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years, building a wealth of experience with breeds of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages — from energetic puppies all the way through to senior dogs. I am currently working from an office M-Th and WFH on Fridays. I am flexible and can accept last minute bookings. My most personal experience comes from caring for my own Irish Setter, Ginger. Alongside Ginger, I have had the privilege of caring for several large breeds, including three beautiful Bernese Mountain Dogs - Molly, Jaeger, and Remy -whom I looked after from their boisterous puppy days right through to their senior years. I am very comfortable with the strength and size of large breeds. I have also cared for small dogs, including a Mini Goldendoodle named Clementine, so I'm equally at ease with petite pups and understand that small dogs often come with their own distinct personalities and needs. I'm currently working full time hybrid with a few days in office and Fridays work from home. I am looking to dog walk regularly or board. I am looking to take care of pets in the environment they are most comfortable in, and able to adapt to their home. My flat welcomes dogs and has many large parks to walk around close by.
About: Henry Warren - Has had dogs since growing up, had 2 big dogs living in Hong Kong as well one of which had a number of problems so care around the clock was necessary. And the other was a rescue so was very timid and scared so lots of love, training and attention experience. Have since cared for and looked after friends dogs. I work from home. So there will be someone with your furry friend at all times! I have scheduled calls daily but normally long breaks between them so walks and attention time very much available whenever needed. I live in Angel. I have a big apartment with a big terrace that has a high fence so outdoor space for furry friends to bask in the sun or get fresh air. I am 5 minutes from the canal and parks so a lot of safe walking spaces for your dogs.
“Trina was amazing with my dog Taro. He got sick during the stay with vomiting and diarrhea, and she handled it calmly and responsibly, making sure he stayed hydrated and preparing plain chicken for him 🫶. Her child also spent a lot of time playing with Taro, which was perfect for my very hyper Labrador who needs constant attention and affection. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Marcos was great with our senior dog Nelson on an overnight stay. He was super flexible and accommodating and kept us updated throughout, including with photos. Nelson looked super comfortable and it was great knowing he was in good hands. We collected Nelson happy and well and will book with Marcos again. Highly recommended!”
“Amanda is simply the best! I left my dog with her for a long time - it was more than 2 weeks. Amanda took great care of my dog, was always in touch with me, and sent me photos and videos. My dog was sad without me for the first days, but Amanda did everything to make Uma feel comfortable and great, they became best friends. I'll be traveling again soon for work and will definitely leave my dog with Amanda again. She is the best! Thank you so much for the best care and attention for Uma ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had my own family dog for the past 8 years, so I’m very comfortable with day to day care, routines, and all the little things that keep dogs happy and settled. I’ve had family that have been dog sitters my whole life, and I’ve spent years helping them look after all sorts of dogs. Because of that, I’m confident handling everything from energetic pups who love long walks to more relaxed dogs who just want company and cuddles. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I know leaving your furry friend with someone can be daunting so if you’d like a meet and greet or know anymore info before booking a service then please drop me a message! Hey! I work from home, so your dog will have full-time company when they’re here with plenty of love & attention. I live in a flat (with a balcony for a bit of fresh air and toilet breaks), and I’m right across from Battersea Park which perfect for burning off energy. Your pup would basically be in charge here, they can claim the best spot on the sofa and settle in like it’s their second home. Happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel totally comfortable. I live with my partner who will be around over weekends so that’s an extra pair of hands for tickles! Expect a happy, well looked after dog… and probably a few cute updates along the way! I have no pets of my own, but I have a crate, bed, toys and treats already here from when my family/friends dogs visit and all dogs are welcome to be on the furniture🫶
“Really caring, my dog was all the time happy he was fed properly and didn’t have an issue adapting to the new environment. I would definitely recommend him and would bring my dog again”
“Bridget was amazing with my dog, Bowie! They took wonderful care of him and sent daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Bowie was happy and well-loved the whole time. Highly recommend!”

Adelina is fantastic with our dog. He can be a bit awkward but when we drop him off at Adelina's he's always very chill and happy. She sends lots of updates, photos and videos which is always lovely to get. She makes the occasions we have to leave him much easier to manage, more like leaving him with a friend than a stranger off the internet.
This was out first time using Ciaras dog minding services as we were left in a kind of last minute bind for overnight care. She had very clear communication and also came for a quick meet and greet dog walk to meet Wiggy and ask questions about him a couple of days before his boarding. She updated her instagram with some beautiful photos of his stay and he seemed very happy - and I felt happy leaving him with her. Would recommend.
Florencia and Matias took care of my dog Lyla for 5 days and were absolutely incredible. Before the stay, they kindly offered a meet and greet at their place so Lyla could see where she'd be staying and get comfortable with them — such a thoughtful touch that I really appreciated. They asked great questions in advance about my notes, which showed me they'd actually read everything carefully and made me feel completely at ease. During the stay, they were so attentive to all my instructions. Lyla got to spend loads of time playing in their garden, and I received lots of photos and videos the whole time, exactly as I'd hoped. I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for a dog sitter — truly grateful for how well they took care of her!
Tim was very responsive and punctual, and we loved receiving photos of Coffee in the park while we were away. We really appreciated him accommodating our very late-night pickup because of our flight. I’d definitely trust Tim to look after Coffee again. Thank you, Tim!
Francini has looked after Dory on many occasions and it’s always a delight. Daily picture updates and lets us know how she is behaving! Dory is always so happy in Francini’s care. It’s very important to us as Dory is so old so a major relief knowing she is in caring hands x
Jessica took care of our dog for several days and honestly, she was amazing! She was super easy to communicate with, always kept us updated, and sent us lots of photos throughout his stay. It was clear that she spent plenty of time with him, taking him out for walks and giving him lots of love and attention. Our dog seemed absolutely delighted and so comfortable with her. In fact, I think this is one of the few times he didn’t even miss us! Jessica was incredibly caring and attentive, and we could tell he was in great hands. We would 100% recommend Jessica and would definitely book her again! ❤️
I honestly couldn’t recommend Melodie enough! ❤️ I dropped my little dog with her and from the moment I left him, I felt completely reassured that he was in safe hands. Melodie sent me constant updates and photos, which meant so much and really put my mind at ease. It was so clear that she genuinely cared about Ace and treated him as if he was her own. He was so well looked after, happy and settled, and I could tell he had the best time.
Christina and Ryan were so attentive and loving with Poppsie, she started crying when we left! They sent regular updates and messages during Poppsie’s stay with them, and I felt reassured that she was enjoying her time with them. Would 100% book with them again! Thanks guys!
My dog had a lovely stay with Cara, she looked after him very well and was very experienced in looking after larger dogs. She made sure he was exercised with lots of walks, play and cuddles and gave me lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. I would highly recommend Cara's dog boarding service!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. 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.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
