“Stephen was great. Ollie stayed with him for a full day care. He was very happy to do an initial meeting to ensure all people and furry animals would get along fine, which they did :) his dod Europa was so gentle and friendly . It was obvious that Stephen had a good understanding of dogs and Ollie took to him straight away. Communication was excellent all along and he sent many pics and update messages for me to see Ollie had settled in well and was happy. I unfortunately had an emergengy at work which meant I was late collecting Ollie and Stephen was very acommodating and put me at ease straight away. I would definately recommend Stephen with no hesitation and no doubt we shall be re-booking with him when needed.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Peppa received! We had a great gut feeling about them right away—they were friendly, genuinely caring, and brilliant at understanding the dog's needs and going at her pace. Communication was fantastic with regular updates, and arranging everything was super easy. Wonderful people, and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Lexi had a fantastic day with Tamer and Odie. She went on a lovely walk with them and we got lots of photo updates and a little video which really helped put our minds at rest. Tamer was wonderful with her and we knew she was in safe hands with a real dog person. We are really looking forward to re-booking with them both.”
“Igor and Alla were brilliant with our pup. Very caring and catering for her individual needs, we definitely felt she was well looked after. Also very accommodating with our differing pickup and drop off times. Will definitely be dropping her off there again very soon.”
About: I’ve enjoyed dogs and cats all my life. I love the company of animals and have a wealth of experience walking pets and looking after them. I’m self-employed and work from home. This give me time to care for our pets. Pets are just part of my daily routine. Paying , walking and lost of cuddles I have a fenced patio and garden plus we have an area for dogs. Pets are part of my life so they are involved in my life whether it be cuddles on the sofa or chilling in the garden or a walk in the country.
“I can highly recommend Ian to anyone who's looking for a dog sitter! Our little girl came back home happy and relaxed. We will definitely ask Ian to dog sit for us in the future. Olivia & Andy”
“We would highly recommend Megan. Our Reggie has been so excited to go to day care and spend the day with Megan, Tilly and Teddy. It is clear from Reggie’s reaction that he gets plenty of TLC from Megan and playtime with Tilly and Teddy. We will definitely be using Megan again.”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs for many years, as well as other animals including guinea pigs, hamsters, tortoises. I am a kind, caring animal lover that is reliable and trustworthy. I have owned a Labrador for many years and currently have our family cat Winnie who we adore. I appreciate the importance of having trust in someone to look after your pet, they are part of the family therefore getting the best care is vital. We have had a cat sitter for some time now for our cat and fully appreciate the reassurance we feel whilst on holiday having someone reliable! I work as a therapist in a school and I am looking for Friday animal sits/ dog walks in my local area as well as all holidays. Some weekends I am available too. For the most part of the week I work in a school, however every Friday and school holidays I work with animals in my local area. It's something I love as I can either animal sit in your home/dog walk alone or with my little girls depending on the family/pet requirements. I prefer to work from 9am until 2pm every Friday. I am flexible during the school holidays and some weekends. I feel calm and relaxed with animals and I see my job as such a pleasure. I prefer to care for your animals in your home. I am respectful of your home and your rules. I will always provide pictures of your pets if you wish with notes of the visit and how it has gone. I will provide details of timings/how much your cat/animal has eaten and behaviour of your animal. If I am a good fit with your family/pet we can discuss this on our initial visit. I hold all appropriate insurances/questionnaires to complete on initial visit. I will ensure to take your pet to the vet if they become unwell or injured. More details when we meet in person.☺️
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Animals have always been at the heart of my home. While living abroad, I rescued Bonny, a beautiful crossbreed desert dog who taught me so much about patience, love, and understanding different personalities. She was incredibly special to me. After returning to the UK and spending a few years without a dog, I welcomed Eddie, my working Cocker Spaniel, into my life. We also have a 1-year-old female spaniel. They truly are my world. I teach yoga five times a week and work from home two days a week, so my lifestyle is calm, balanced and centred around wellbeing. This means your dog will have plenty of attention, companionship and a relaxed environment while in my care. Because I’m a dog owner myself, I completely understand how important it is to have total peace of mind when leaving your dog in someone else’s care. That’s exactly what I would want for my own — and it’s what I promise to provide for you. We are a calm, child-free home with a secure, enclosed garden for safe play and exercise. Our home is also non-smoking, providing a clean and comfortable environment for your dog. Dogs who come to stay with us become part of the family. They’re treated as one of our own — with love, attention, cuddles, structure, and plenty of fun. My dogs are friendly and used to being around other dogs, so it’s important that any visiting dog is sociable and comfortable sharing space with them. I always follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, settled and at home. You can expect regular updates and photos, because I know how reassuring that is when you’re away. Your dog won’t just be looked after — they’ll be welcomed into a loving home. I teach yoga 5 time a week, apart from my working hours I am out walking my dog or at home working in my garden. I often meet lots of other dog owners on my walks on Kings hill, Its a great community. My house is completely secure for small and large dogs. Our home is set on a very quiet close in kings hill. We have a minimal back garden where they can play freely. I am often out with walking the dogs at least twice a day for a good 1hour at a time. My dogs sleeps in his own bed in our bedroom and we would welcome another bed on the floor or in their own space if required. If you do not allow your dogs upstairs we have plenty of secure downstairs space your dog can enjoy. However we do treat all guests like family.
About: I understand that caring for animals means exercise and interaction, as well as a feeling of security. I can promise all three at my Maidstone home. I have a hybrid role, meaning I'm typically at home three days a week. My wife works part-time hours and returns home around 2pm each day. We have two sons, one is away at uni, the other is going into Year 11. However, the only people in my home who will be caring for animal visitors will be myself with assistance from my wife Dorota. We have a fenced garden and a number of lovely walks near Tovil, just a few minutes from our doorstep. I have transport too so can visit your home to check/feed/walk your cat or dog.
“Herbert had a lovely time at daycare with Georgia, who balances good behavioural habits with lots of care and attention - exactly what we want in our doggy care. He was happy and tired when he came home, which is a sign of a great doggy day! We loved the cute pictures and update summary too.”

Katie was FAB!!! Very accomodating to a very last minute request and excellent comms throughout the process. The minute we got there Ollie took to her straight away with no hesitation (always a good sign!) and she put me at ease immediately asking about Ollies needs etc. It was Ollies 1st time but he seemed to have an awesome day with her. Thank you so much for your care and understanding of Ollie. I cannot recommend her high enough and we shall definately be repeating when needed.
Lexi had a fantastic day with Tamer and Odie. She went on a lovely walk with them and we got lots of photo updates and a little video which really helped put our minds at rest. Tamer was wonderful with her and we knew she was in safe hands with a real dog person. We are really looking forward to re-booking with them both.
Febe looked after our dog Spud today and we couldn’t be happier! From the moment we met her, it was clear he was in safe hands. She was attentive and genuinely caring, and Spud took to her straight away. We really appreciated the updates and photos. It makes such a difference leaving your dog with someone who treats them as if they were their own. We would absolutely book with Febe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful and trustworthy care.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Malling commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. 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 .
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.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee.
