“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda was absolutely fantastic. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our cat. Throughout our trip, she sent very detailed and thoughtful updates with lots of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We always knew how our cat was doing, and it was clear that Amanda genuinely cared and paid close attention. She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a real love for animals. We came home to a happy and relaxed cat, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We highly recommend Amanda and would definitely book her again.”

About: I’m a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, giving plenty of attention, and following any specific routines or instructions. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. You can count on me to be responsible, communicative, and to keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I have a flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening visits, walks, feeding, or overnight care, I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any special care your pet requires. I’ll ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep your home clean and respected during every visit. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Lily. I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have two of my own, Buzz and Lola. They’ve been with me for over 10 years, so they’ve quite literally watched me grow up. They’re family to me, and anyone who knows me knows I’m completely obsessed with them. Growing up around dogs has given me a real understanding of their different personalities, routines and needs. I’ve spent years caring for, walking and looking after dogs, and I love being around them. Earlier this year I took a job in London, and one thing I found really difficult was not always being around as much to walk my dogs. Luckily, I had family members that did this when I wasn’t there, but ultimately that’s what I enjoyed and I’m no longer working there and able to spend all my time with them. It made me realise how many owners are in exactly the same position. Sometimes work, holidays or simply life get in the way, and that’s completely okay. That’s why I decided to join Rover. I love being outdoors, I love spending time with dogs, and if I can help someone by giving their dog the walks, company and care they deserve while they’re busy, then that’s something I’d genuinely enjoy doing. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m reliable, caring and will treat every dog as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll always take the time to understand their routine, personality and anything that makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’ll also make sure you stay updated while you’re away, with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and having a great time. Pet care is my main focus at the moment, which means I can dedicate my time to providing reliable, flexible care throughout the week. My schedule allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m looking after, whether that’s walks, home visits or overnight stays. I enjoy keeping dogs company, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise and care, and I always adapt my routine to suit their individual needs. I only provide care in your dog’s own home, as I believe they’re happiest and most comfortable in familiar surroundings. Before every booking, I like to arrange a meet and greet where I’ll bring a short form to go through your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, walks, any medical needs, favourite sleeping spots, house rules and anything else you’d like me to know. That way I can keep their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and well looked after.
About: Hi, I’m Charly, a dedicated dog lover who knows that dogs are family, not just pets. I have over 20 years of experience pet sitting for friends and family, as well as 6 years fostering rescue dogs, helping them feel safe and settled while they waited for their forever homes. For the past year I’ve been walking dogs professionally, caring for a variety of breeds, ages and temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or a relaxed environment, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. My home provides a calm, welcoming space for dogs, and I have a fully fenced garden with plenty of room for safe play and exercise. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, so I always aim to provide reliable care, regular updates, and a loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I am currently working as a professional dog walker and can make my schedule work around you and your family pets needs you ask you and I’ll plan I have a fully fenced garden, for morning play and evening zoomies. There are plenty of countryside walks with walking distance and even more a few minutes drive away for those that like to go for a small ride in the car.
“First time using this app and a cat sitter in general. Was sceptical at first, but I cannot fault Courtney, she did everything I asked and nothing phased her. My two cats have had all their needs met. As a Registered Veterinary Nurse myself, I would highly recommend Courtney to look after your pets, from my personal experience. Thank you!☺️”
About: I have had dogs in the home for the last 25 years, I enjoy the company of dogs, am sensitive to their needs and am passionate about providing exercise, play and cuddles. I am home Monday, Wednesday, Friday and most weekends. I work Tuesday and Thursday with someone home after 4pm on these days. I am able to accommodate up to two walks a day. I have flexible working to an extent so if you are planning a holiday let me know the dates and I may be able to take the time off work. I have a secure private garden and large green spaces in walking distance. My house is dog safe. My children are kind and gentle with animals and love all animals.
“Michael was so attentive with our cats while we were away on holiday. It is clear that he is a patient animal loving sitter who does the best for your pets always. We received updates every day with pictures of michael playing, feeding and cuddling with our cats. Michael also saved us when we forgot to take our bins out before we left! Absolutely fantastic service and would recommend to any one of my friends 🧡”
About: I have taken care of pets for many years as well as having my own. I understand that dogs and cats are not just pets but they are family too. I love to walk so walkies are great fun and snuggle time is just as important. I have also taken care of senior dogs and helped with medication and vet trips for support not just for the animals but for support for their parents too. I currently have a lot of free time although I don't currently drive I do have ways of getting to you. Early morning may be difficult if I am using public transport but again this may not always be the case. Depending on the owners requests I am very flexible and will work with pet parents to provide care and safety at all times. Routine and respect are key.
“Lani is great with our little kitten Leo. Nice calm personality to keep Leo at ease on the first meeting. Flexible and approachable with bookings. We have booked again with Lani.”
About: I have two incredibly lively and challenging young Collies, have had cats for my entire life and like to think I can handle pretty much any pet I have a very flexible life style so can fit in around whatever you need, early, late and last minute. I’ve used Rover myself for many years too. I’ve loved my own dogs for well over 20 years and would love to extend this love, care, attention and protection to your fur babies too
“Hollie has been absolutely fantastic. She single handedly saved our holiday and on multiple occasions filled in gaps that were crucial to sustaining it. We really can't thank her enough for easy and effortless quick communications and readiness to be supportive and assisting us not just with our dogs. We were provided with photographs and everything we needed to know our pets were happy. We're so grateful and will certainly be using her in the future.”
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Maidstone is £13

Jo has been brilliant with my two boys. Every day she took new toys round to give them some stimulation and play time, she brushed them and gave them the attention they like. When we got home she had left them a little goodie bags each, with a toy, a treat, some photos and a little figurine. It was very sweet. She left great notes every check in and uploaded a good selection of photos. I really felt like my boys were in good hands and that gave me a lot of reassurance that they were being well looked after.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda was absolutely fantastic. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our cat. Throughout our trip, she sent very detailed and thoughtful updates with lots of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We always knew how our cat was doing, and it was clear that Amanda genuinely cared and paid close attention. She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a real love for animals. We came home to a happy and relaxed cat, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We highly recommend Amanda and would definitely book her again.
10/10! From the communication, the updates, the pictures and videos, the consistency with timings. She is the best sitter you could have. We went away for 3 weeks and had to leave our little boy alone. She completely eased our thoughts and bonded so well with him and took such good care of him. Honestly would recommend to everyone 🤍
Corinna looked after our two very shy cats over Christmas while we were away. She was very professional and gave us a sense that our cats would be well looked after from our first meeting. When it came to the visits she was always on time and we got great updates and photos through the app. It was extremely reassuring to hear from Corinna every day, as it can stressful being away from your pets - but we knew they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive carer. Thank you Corinna !
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. 100% reliable and I had no doubts that I was leaving my 🐈 in the most capable of hands. Provided regular updates whilst we were away and there were no complaints from 🐈. I can go away more often knowing I have nothing to worry about when it comes to someone looking after 🐈
Louise is a lovely young lady, very friendly and reliable. She kept me up to date with Sookie via messages and photos whilst we were away for a week. I have no hesitation in recommending Louise and will definitely wish her to look after Sookie again when we go away ♥️
Michael was so attentive with our cats while we were away on holiday. It is clear that he is a patient animal loving sitter who does the best for your pets always. We received updates every day with pictures of michael playing, feeding and cuddling with our cats. Michael also saved us when we forgot to take our bins out before we left! Absolutely fantastic service and would recommend to any one of my friends 🧡

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 Maidstone 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!

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.
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.
