Emily has been brilliant looking after my cats. One of them needs extra loves when we go away as he’s a bit of a mummies boy and thinks we’ve left him. Emily made sure he was eating and getting lots of fusses. The messages and photos made me feel reassured that they were being cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking when we go away again. Thank you so much ☺️

About: Hi, I’m Tamer - a lifelong dog lover with many years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. From Alsatians and Collie crosses to Yorkshire Terriers and working Cocker Spaniels, dogs have always been a central part of my life. I’ve raised, trained, and bonded with them deeply, and I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your beloved pet. 🐶 Meet My Pup, Odie 2.5 years ago, I fulfilled a lifelong dream and welcomed my own dog, Odie, into my life. He’s a super friendly working Cocker Spaniel with a huge heart and boundless energy. I’ve raised him from 8 weeks old and have been his sole parent, trainer, and companion. Odie is incredibly sociable and loves meeting new dogs — he’s gentle, playful, and always up for a game. 🏡 A Safe, Spacious Home I live in a two-floor house with plenty of space for dogs to relax and explore. There’s a secure, gated courtyard at the back for toilet breaks and light exercise. Inside, I have a medium-sized crate available (perfect for spaniel-sized dogs), and I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s sleeping preferences — whether that’s crate-trained or curled up on the sofa. I’ll follow your home rules, including furniture boundaries, but I’m also happy for dogs to snuggle up if that’s what they’re used to. 🌳 Daily Walks & Play There are several parks within walking distance — the closest just 5–10 minutes away — and I take Odie out twice a day for around an hour each time. I tailor walks and playtime to suit your dog’s energy levels and needs. Whether your pup loves a good run, a sniff-filled stroll, or a game of fetch, they’ll get plenty of stimulation and exercise. 💻 Work & Availability I work from home most days, which means your dog will have lots of company, attention, and affection throughout the day. I do go into the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but with enough notice, I may be able to accommodate bookings on those days too. 🐕‍🦺 Care That Feels Like Home When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I use positive reinforcement training and take regular breaks to fuss over the dogs, play, and build trust. I’ll support any routines or rules you have in place to ensure consistency and comfort for your pup. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. --- ⭐️ What Other Owners Say Rima B. Tamer was the perfect dog sitter for my puppy Hal! He had amazing communication, gave lots of updates and took amazing care of Hallie for us. We felt really comfortable leaving her with Tamer and his dog Odie. She had a great time and we’d definitely recommend! --- If you have any questions or want to chat before booking, I’d love to hear from you. I know how important it is to feel confident about who’s looking after your dog — and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. All the best, Tamer I work full time, but I work from home every Monday, Thursday and Friday. I can extend this to Tuesday and Wednesday also with enough notice. I take regular breaks to play and engage with my dog which I would do for your dog too, but more importantly, our dogs will have a canine friend to play with! I take my dog out twice a day in the morning and afternoon for around 45min - 1hr per walk and usually on a longer walk on the weekends which can be customised for your dog if they need only short walks. I feed him twice a day in the morning and afternoon with a mix of dry kibble and wet food (Tails). I take breaks regularly to entertain, train and engage with my dog. I also have a laptop so can work from anywhere in the house

Karolina was great with the dogs. She formed an immediate bond with them which is great since both of them are a bit wary of strangers. She put them at ease by being gentle but firm. She had them listening to her in no time. I trust her enough to give her a set of keys.

Katie was an amazing cat sitter. She came over before I left and took in every detail of Mya’s quirks and looked after him with dedication and affection. She’s going to be my go to sitter without a doubt. I can’t recommend her highly enough. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos of my big lad.

About: I have loved cats and dogs since I was a child but only when settled in my own home after university did I feel settled enough to start to care for my own cats and dogs. Now I have the time to care for other pets and make them part of our family while they are here. I have a 4 year old Lab Retriever and two cats who both know how to live with dogs. Now that I have retired I have all the time in the world to devote to looking after my pets and yours. Your dog can become part of our family and share in all the care and attention I have a medium sized fully fenced in garden and plenty of room for the pets to find a quiet space if they need it or they are welcome to jump on the sofa for a cuddle.

About: We are a professional couple working from home, ensuring your dog has 24/7 company. We share our lives with Bruno (our 5-year-old Lab) and Fiona (our 9-month-old cat). Your pup will enjoy a secure, fenced yard, 60-minute daily walks, and exciting weekend hikes. We now have a resident cat, Fiona. If your dog isn’t used to cats, don't worry—we can keep them in separate areas. Please just let us know about your dog’s typical behavior around cats when booking. We love staying active, offering 60 minutes of daily walks and long woodland hikes on weekends. We host multiple friendly, small-breed guests at a time, ensuring a social and safe environment. Your pup will be treated like family and will never be left alone! As we transition back to our office responsibilities, we are making an effort to find a balance that allows one of us to be present at home. Nonetheless, there might be situations where your dog is left in the company of Bruno alone. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take this into account when scheduling bookings with us. Please note that during late autumn, winter, and early spring, access to the garden may be restricted due to rainy or wet weather conditions. Your dog MUST be comfortable with taking a toilet break during the walk during these times. We have a fenced yard and one super-friendly Bruno to keep your fur friend company. We are always (mostly) at home and your dog is always under supervision. If we are away, we have a camera that allows us to keep an eye on the situation at home.

About: Hi, my name is Bonny and I am from West Malling. My passion is caring for all types of animals. Growing up in a home filled with a variety of pets and wildlife, from dogs, cats, budgies, tortoises, parrots, and ensuring all the wildlife surrounding us had a safe environment, and rescuing any animal in need and all this grew my love and passion for all animals. 🐶🐈‍⬛ I learned early on how to understand animal body language, build trust, and provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each animals unique needs. My hands-on experience extends beyond domestic pets to wildlife rescue. 🐦 Whether it's managing an energetic dog's routine, comforting a shy cat, caring for avian friends, tending to scaly creatures or stepping up in medical emergencies, I bring calm confidence, deep practical knowledge, and genuine love to every animal I care for.❤️ Every animal has their own unique personality and their own little quirks which makes building a relationship and bond with each of them extremely special.  I have two dogs myself which are a Cocker Spaniel and a Beagle cross, who are my absolute world and taking them on new adventures is something I love. I have experience with nervous and anxious dogs and dogs who have high prey drive and older dogs who want to take life a little bit slower and want that extra bit of fuss and attention.  I have cared for animals my entire life, whether they are my own or family and friends special animals and I understand how important it is for animals to keep to their own routine and build a bond and trust with new people and this is something I will take my time to ensure each animal I care for feels safe and secure in my care. I track all my dog walks on Tractive and send a route map of each dogs adventure to their owners after. 📍🗺 Take a look at my instagram to see everything I offer. Instagram - pawsandclaws_uk ✅️DBS checked 🩺Pet First Aid Trained ✒️Fully Insured I will provide trusted pet care, tailored to your pets needs and routine. I will ensure your pets recieve the same routine with me they are used to and they will be provided with love and care throughout their time with me ❤️ I don't offer care for pets in my own home due to my own dogs needs, however I do care for animals in their own home or complete visits and walks as required. I will stick to your pets routine to ensure they remain calm and secure. I also track all walks and provide owners with a route map after the walk to show where each dog has gone on their adventures.

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for over twenty years, mostly small breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Shih Tzus and Poodles so I understand how unique their personalities can be. Little dogs are often more sensitive, more attached to their routine, and more easily unsettled by a change in the house, and I know how to keep them settled and happy. I've also nursed my own dogs through illness and injury. I've managed medication schedules, and supported a dog through rehabilitation, including hydrotherapy. If your dog needs tablets at set times, has mobility problems, or simply gets anxious when you're away, they'll be looked after exactly as I look after my own with love and care. Pet care is what my days are built around rather than something I fit in between other commitments. I keep my mornings and early evenings free for visits, which is when most dogs need feeding, walking and letting out, and I have flexibility through the middle of the day for check-ins, medication or a bit of company. I care for dogs in their own homes rather than mine, so your dog stays in the place they know best, with their own bed, their own smells and their own routine. For a lot of small dogs that makes an enormous difference and I find that they settle far more quickly than they would somewhere unfamiliar. Keys are handled carefully. I label them with a code rather than an address, keep them stored securely, and any alarm codes or entry details are kept separately in a secure encrypted CRM system and never written down alongside the address. I'll never share your details with anyone. On every visit I do a quick check that the house is as I found it doors and windows secured, gates closed, water topped up, heating as you left it. I always check gates and fencing before letting a dog off lead in the garden, and small dogs stay on the lead outside unless you've told me otherwise. I'll send you a short video and update after each visit so you know how your dog is doing. If anything seems off they're not eating, they seem uncomfortable, something's happened in the house I'll contact you straight away rather than wait until you're home, and I'll always have your vet's details to hand in case they're needed.

About: As a dog owner myself, I know just how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new. I’ve used Rover myself when looking for someone to care for our Shih-Poo, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. I grew up with dogs and now have a dog of my own who is a huge part of our family. I’ll treat your dog with the same care, attention and affection that I give my own. We have a fenced garden where the dogs can play and relax, as well as access to a nearby field for plenty of walks and fresh air. One of the most important things I can offer is that your dog will never be left home alone. Our own dog is never left by himself, so any dog staying with us will always have company too. My aim is to make your dog feel safe, settled and at home while they’re staying with us — and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re being genuinely cared for. 🐶❤️ I work from home some days each week and have availability weekends/evenings too. Our dog is not left by himself so your dog would never be left alone. I have a fenced garden and a small friendly Shih poo that loves to make new doggy friends! I’d happily follow your dogs current routines so they feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I have had a long break from Rover, as my dog walking business in Sevenoaks really took off but I have now recently moved to Larkfield and looking to take on new clients and further my business with dog boarding. I’m currently at home full time, apart from the school runs which normally take about an hour tops! I have a very friendly dog myself and he loves his long walks! I am also happy to do local dog walking and drop ins. I have over 20 years experience with dogs of all breeds! I adore looking after pets and I’m always highly relied on for friends and family when they need help! I have a garden and there is a park near by and I also drive to different parks on a weekday for long walks. I also keep puppy pads in the house if needs be as I understand some puppys are in training or elderly dogs can have accidents, but I’m always well prepared! Your fur baby will always have company, as my daughter adores dogs and my dog is super friendly with others!! Lots of toys for the dog to play with! Rest assured your dog will be looked after as if they are my own in our warm, friendly ,family home. Updates will be sent on a daily basis with pictures and videos. I currently have alot of time! I have a dog already so goes out 3x a day and I also have a garden. The only time your pooch would be alone, is when I leave to do the school run. My garden is fenced so your pooch would not be able to escape! I also offer lots of snuggles and attention for your pooch’s needs. I have also administered injecting insulin into diabetic dogs as one of my clients has a diabetic dog. Im more than happy and confident to do this too. Any special care requirements, I would also take on board and happy to learn this.

We liked Rebecca from our first meeting. She came across as open and transparent, which was reassuring for me as I knew that if anything happened or wasn’t quite right with one of the cats, she would tell us. She was good with all three cats and her communication while we were away was great. I loved getting the updates and videos and seeing that they were happy and relaxed with her. It really did give me peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy cats. I would definitely book Rebecca again and would happily recommend her. Thank you again for looking after them. xx

We couldn’t be happier with the care Georgina gives to our dog, Bowie. From day one she’s been friendly, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. Since Bowie started walking with her, his behaviour has improved massively he’s calmer, better on the lead, and much more responsive overall. It’s made a real difference at home as well as on walks. Georgina is always so kind and easy to deal with, and you can tell Bowie absolutely loves his time with her. One of the best parts is the amazing photos she sends after each walk they’re genuinely brilliant and really capture his personality. I’d highly recommend Georgina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Bowie is always excited to see her, which says it all!

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.
