Gigi was so settled when we got home which we know means success! Loved the little watsapp updates to reassure us! Definitely recommend and will definitely be requesting her help again!”
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.
“A huge thank you to Grace for looking after our girlie so well. Could see from the pics that she was very relaxed with Grace and enjoying cuddles and fuss as always! Thank you for sending all those pics so reassuring to recieve them.”

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.

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.

I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and horses. Growing up on a farm, my background has given me confidence in handling different personalities, temperaments, and care requirements, from energetic dogs who love long walks to independent cats who prefer a calm companion, as well as horses that require consistent routines and attentive care.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work remotely, so I have freedom to align with your pets routine. I am an early riser, so if your pet requires an early breakfast, that's fine with me. I love a morning walk come rain or sunshine and equally I enjoy a late day walk to get my step count in too. I can work with your pet's routine for indoor/outdoor time and play and rest time.

Courtney was amazing looking after our kitten while we were on our honeymoon. Every day we got lots of pictures and lovely messages reassuring us that Muffin was being well looked after and shown lots of love. We would definitely reach out to Courtney again if we ever needed a catsitter. Thank you Courtney!
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.
