About: Three years ago, while studying at university in South Africa, I was a dog sitter for the Canine Club. Now, in the UK, I work in marketing during the week, but on weekends, I still love to dive back into dog walking and pet care whenever I can! I work full-time as a local marketing manager at the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts—three days in-office, two days from home. Weekends, though, are completely free for all your pet-sitting needs! 💕 I’d ensure they’re safe by providing all the love, care, and attention I’d give my own pets, while carefully following any instructions or briefs the owner provides. Your home and your pet would be in trusted, attentive hands!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play their pets and give them the comfort and attention they need. I’m currently a full time student at Kingston School of Art. Whilst it’s full time, I still have 4 days off a week including weekends to take care of your pet and am free in the evenings nearly everyday. I have easy access to public transport so will be flexible on where house sitting for a pet is needed. I will give them the comfort and attention they need when house sitting.

I’m currently working part time as a cleaner but not getting enough hours… I’m free almost all the time so I’m very reliable whenever needed. Depending on what owners need. I’m able to walk dogs, and look after dogs in owners home! I’m not fussed with this, whatever’s needed I’m happy! I just can’t take dogs/ cats into my home at this moment in time. :)
“This was the first time we’ve used a sitter so we were a bit apprehensive, however, Lauren was brilliant with both of our cats. They really took to her and Lauren did everything we asked for and more. We felt much better knowing our little ones were in safe hands. We highly recommend Lauren and would definitely use her again. Thank you Lauren.”
About: I adore dogs, cats and all animals. I'm confident caring for and walking dogs of all breeds and I will treat your pet like my own - with plenty of cuddles and love! I have just returned to the UK from a travelling sabbatical, so I have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets. I am available throughout the day, including early mornings and evenings, on weekdays and at weekends. I have a private fenced garden which your dogs will be able to enjoy, and a large ground floor flat with plenty of space and comfy spaces for your dogs to relax.
“This was our first time ever using Rover and Millie was amazing! She was responsive, gave us clear updates and made us feel comfortable while away that George was being looked after. Would highly recommend and would love to have her care for George again.”
About: Reliable dog walker/sitter and cat owner. Family, friends & neighbours have trusted me to take care of their pets, either sitting for the day or whilst on holiday. I work full time, with days from home in the week, able to be available at short notice to pop in or for the night, as well as most weekends. Also able to sit for holidays. Depending on your pets needs, I will ensure current routines are kept the same, whether that’s early long walks, dietary requirements and company whilst you’re away!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My mum was a dog walker throughout my childhood, and I used to count down the days until the school holidays so I could join her on walks! Growing up surrounded by dogs has given me confidence with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Most recently, I fostered a Dalmatian called Woody who was highly reactive. With patience, consistency, and the right support, we helped him build his confidence and eventually find a wonderful forever home. Seeing his progress was incredibly rewarding and reinforced just how much I love working with animals. I’m joining Rover because caring for pets genuinely brings me joy. After recently returning to work part-time following maternity leave, I now have the flexibility to dedicate time to looking after your furry family members. As someone who really misses having a dog of my own, spending time with pets is something I truly value. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and love while they’re with me. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, so I can give every pet the time and attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding throughout the week. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and a consistent routine to help them feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind I have a fenced off garden, lots of space in the house for the dog to find their spot and get comfortable if they need a rest, I have a DBS check and I have lots of confidence in walking dogs and know how to handle them with care and quick to understand a dogs needs, I will take care of them as they was my own and I wouldn’t expect any less.

I own the most friendly cocker spaniel with the most loving soul , he loves the company of other dogs . Great walking near me with safe off road open spaces. I don’t work in the day so am fully available, this is my main and only job caring for your dogs. They will have my undivided attention. I have a fenced safe outside space where the dogs can roam free and use the toilet. I live in big grounds of fields also
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I've grown up with both cats and dogs and have spent my whole life learning to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I currently have a friendly Labradoodle and a beautiful Ragdoll cat, so I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets as if they were their own. Alongside my personal experience, I also worked as a Veterinary Care Assistant, where I supported the veterinary team and cared for animals both in and out of the practice. My role involved handling pets with patience and compassion, ensuring they were comfortable, assisting with their day-to-day care, and helping owners feel reassured during what could often be stressful situations. This experience has given me confidence caring for animals of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I'm also a therapist and work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable care and spend quality time with the pets I look after. After spending my days supporting people, I genuinely find being around animals incredibly grounding. They have a wonderful way of bringing calm, joy, and a much-needed sense of peace, and I often joke that animals can be much easier than humans! Caring for them is something I truly enjoy, and it's one of the most rewarding ways I can spend my time. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic play, quiet company, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I always tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I understand that every animal is unique, and I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about providing the highest standard of care. When your pet is with me, they'll be treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. My goal is to make sure they're happy, safe, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. I I work as a therapist 3 days a week and do part time evening work on Wednesdays. I’m at home a lot and have access to cars. My cat is completely indoor so doors and windows are always shut and have a garden for the dog. The house has air conditioning throughout.
About: Phoebe and myself have both had dogs our entire lives. Ranging from dachshunds, jack Russells, labradors and old English sheepdogs. Helped breed 2 sets of dachshund puppies We both work from home Thursdays and Fridays with regular breaks where we would take the dogs for walks and give them regular attention. We would also look after them the entire weekend if needed. We work office jobs Monday - Wednesday but these can be flexible if needed, just ask. We will always ensure your dog is taken care of as we know how important it is, as we regularly look after friends and families dogs, we would have all that we need to look after your dog.
“Lauren did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Mr. Ken. She was not only reliable and punctual, but she also showed genuine affection and attention to his needs. Mr. Ken usually takes time to warm up to new people, but with Lauren, he was comfortable from the start. Her professionalism, coupled with her obvious love for animals, made me feel at ease leaving Mr. Ken in her care. I highly recommend Lauren for any pet-sitting needs—she truly went above and beyond!”
About: I have always lived in a house with both cats and dogs and have enjoyed their company and every aspect of taking care of them since I was a young child. I have looked after dogs and cats of every single age and stage, so I am very used to understanding all of their needs. I am a stay at home mum in a quiet home of older children, so I walk dogs after I have done the school drop-off and before I do the school pick up. I’m usually in the house all day apart from brief grocery shopping trips out. Specialising in overnight Dog Boarding I previously worked for an agency for a number of years, and now I am an independent dog boarder. As a result I have lots of experience with dogs of all ages and I have experience giving medication, and various grooming needs, such as the funny job of wiping out the wrinkles of an English bulldog!
“Another lovely time for Biffy with a visit from James! James was very considerate of Biffy in the hot weather and also kept in great contact with me! James is highly recommended - again 😊”
About: I have no children but I do have a kitten. I helped bring up my sister’s puppy-turned-dog during Covid, I regularly look after my sister’s dog for days and hours. I take her for walks, feed her, play with her and drop her off. I also sometimes look after my best friend’s cat when she is at work or on holiday. I am flexible with weekends, and week days I work hybrid so I am home most of the week - aside from Tuesday and Thursday, which are my office days. ☺️ I keep door closed and always use lead when outside. The area is usually gated outside, and I have space for a crate if needed. I have a few green areas next to me. I live basically in town, with non-main road access in too for particularly vulnerable puppies.

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.
