“You never know what a person is going to be like but from the very start my fur babies and I have adored Faith. When looking after my babies she sent pictures and updates whilst I was away which was so appreciated. I came home to a very neat, tidy and clean home. She even washed my elderly dog reusable puppy pads which bowled me over. Faith is now part of our “pack” and I am definitely using her again.”

“Laura was lovely, left our home neat and tidy, even washed our bed sheets for us. Gave us plenty of updates on how our cat was and what he was up too. Everything was nice quick and easy with no hassle. Will keep in mind for any future times we may need someone.”

“Natalie is an amazing dog sitter! She stayed at my place to look after Coconut, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do it. She clearly loves dogs, and Coconut absolutely adores her. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which was such a nice touch and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. Not only did she take great care of Coconut—lots of walks and cuddles—but she also kept my guest house super tidy. It was such a relief to come home to a happy pup and a clean space! I’d 100% recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch Coconut again! Thank you Natalie xx”

“Keris house sat over the new year period and looked after our 3 maine coons. We don't usually go away or celebrate new years as the cats are afraid of fireworks so we don't like to leave them alone but with both of us not working we decided to take the opportunity to go away for 5 days and booked Keris. Throughout the 5 days Keris kept in regular contact with me with photos and messages to let me know that they were fine. I was actually really surprised with how they took to Keris so quickly as they are usually quite timid when it comes to new people but they found instant comfort in having her here with them. So thank you Keris for looking after them and ensuring they were happy and safe during the celebrations. We have already booked Keris to look after them again so we can go away knowing they are in goods hands.”

About: I have been around dogs since I was 12, I have extensive dog sitting experience for 4+ years now with upwards of 4 dogs at a time. My home is very often a doggie hotel, I have a Dalmatian, so daily walks are a must over here! I am well versed with both dog sleepovers and lengthy stays and adult dogs upwards to senior are more than welcome here. I am working from home often so pet care fits perfectly with my routine. I am available in easy access for pet care at anytime. I have a fenced garden that is perfect for running and playtime, we live very close to two lovely parks and have an open floor for the dogs to move around.
About: I've grown up with dogs, my dog as a teen was my best friend. We went everywhere together and she was always by my side, so I truly know how much a dog becomes part of a family and how much they mean to you. I've also had multiple rescue cats over 20 years, my current cat i found at 6 weeks old and hes now 10. Im always nervous to leave him so completely understand if you are too. 4 years ago I started looking after other people's dogs and soon gained regular dog sitting. I also took on 2 dogs as a temporary foster care while the owner was unwell. Taking care of dogs isn't just a job, it's a passion. At the moment im at home so can provide care for your pets majority of the day. Unfortunately due to having an elderly cat i can't accommodate any animals in my own home, but im more than happy to pet sit in the pets own home. I also have 2 children who loves animals just as much as i do, they've been taught how to take care of animals and know how to respect an animals boundaries. I currently have availability between 9 and 2 on weekdays without my children but if your pets are good with kids then these hours can be extended later and during weekends. My children absolutely adore animals and know how to care for them. Unfortunately due to having an elderly cat, I can't accept dogs into my home. I will follow any routine that your pet needs in your home, follow any guidance on how your dog is walked, personalities, etc. And I will take care of them just like I would my own.
“Emine was really lovely and responsible when house sitting with our cat and dog. She gave lots of updates and pictures of the pets, went above and beyond in looking after them, and took great care of our home. Highly recommend!”

About: From feeding and playing with animals filling busy homes to caring for older individual cats or dogs, every animal deserves the best treatment and compassion. I am happy to say I should be able to fit your furry friends in with my routine even at short notice as I work from home and enjoy the company of all animals, from aging cats to boisterous, larger breeds of dogs. I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced garden with no other animals at the property ensuring a safe environment for your best friend. Play time and gentle company will always be available 24/7 when they stay.

About: I'm 33 and a nurse (for humans). I've had cats my entire life and currently have 2 monsters called Mimi and Ori. My partner who is a pharmacy technician and also DBS checked normally does the driving and taxis me for the further places that I can’t reach on foot/bus I've had experience with cats of all ages, sizes, personalities. Fully DBS checked, please contact me if you have any extra requests, play time, medicines etc. Can also discuss feeding extra animals if you have them e.g rabbits APH. I look forward to hearing about your fur babies! Please let me know when you would like to arrange an initial visit where we can talk about your lovely little critters and get to know what they need :) During the week I work 8-4 so visits would happen before and after work. Weekends i can be more flexible with times and amount of visits depending on plans. Happy to discuss this :) In a pet owners home it depends what you need. As well as the usual feeding, playing and fussing i am happy to change litter trays, take dogs out for walks and toilet breaks, administer medication, water your plants if needed. Also happy to put out your bin on bin day as it is nicer to come home to. I am happy to care for other animals as long as I have experience or instructions are given. Personal experience with dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, APH, fish, turtles, terrapins.
“A big thank you to Jennifer for looking after Teddy for us. It’s great that you’re able to look after people’s dogs in their own environment. Hopefully we can ask you to sit for him again if needed”


About: I have taken care of friends and family dogs over the years and currently have a cocker spaniel who is a ball of energy. I have looked after a variety of dogs such as French bulldogs, to sprniger spaniels and staffies, and also up to larger dog such as a vizla. I create a strong bond so they feel safe around me and in doing so this allows me to trust them that they will listen me on a walk or at home. I work from home 5 days a week so can be on hand to take care of your dog throughout the day whether that is at my house or at yours, if your dog would prefer a more familiar environment. Come the weekends im generally free and spend time with my wife and newborn son. I have a cocker spaniel at home who will happily play with your dog and I will take him with me on the walk to help burn off your dogs energy. On a walk I have an energetic cocker spaniel who is more than happy to play with your dog in a field. He just wants to chase and be chased and is extremely friendly. Alternatively if your dog likes a gentle stroll of the streets I am more than happy to accommodate. If im house sitting or popping in I will makes sure they have food and water and will always give them a fuss, good ear scratch and play with them to help burn some energy.

About: Hello, I’ve been a dog and cat owner for over 12 years. Having lost my dogs last year due to old age I have now embarked on a dog grooming course which I will eventually open my own business from home. This currently allows me to have free time in my home to look after your family pet. This allows me to have all the cuddles and kisses and company from your pet rather than the commitment of owning my own pets again. With a weeks notice I’ll be able to be as flexible as you need. I am currently on a flexible dog grooming course currently which I am fitting In around my life. My house is a fenced garden with NO escape! So you wouldn't need to worry about escapees. I can accommodate to your structure with your pet also and stick to feeding schedules and walking schedules. I am very organised and punctual so sticking to a timetable is how I like to approach my daily life so jobs get done and in a timely manner. You can guarantee your pet will get lots of cuddles and strokes from me with undivided attention or if your pet doesn’t like that then I also know when to not cross that boundary.
“Joe was fantastic with our dog over a three day stay. We booked very last minute, and he was incredibly accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and settled when we got back. We really appreciated the flexibility and would (and hoefully will) definitely book with Joe again.”
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I was 6. Family and friends have often relied on me to take care of their dogs. I myself am a dog owner and know how much they mean to us. I am currently not doing any other work and have plenty of time to take care of your dogs. I am basically free any time and day. I have a fenced back yard with good space, as well as I have a friendly puppy my self which can make company to your dog, which if needed I can also keep apart. Large parks and fields at walking distance when I can also go for a walk with your dog.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since i was little. I’ve owned multiple horses and looked after my own cats and dogs for many years. I’ve grown up around them. I’ve looked after other peoples cats, dogs and horses since i was 13-14. I am also a part of the Fox Project which helps injured or lost foxes to be released back into the wild. I’m currently working part time at weekends at a livery yard, so I have plenty of time during the week to look after your pets. I am available at any time Monday to Friday . I would be very careful following instructions left by the owners on their facilities and requirements to keep their pets needs. I would also respect their pets space if necessary but provide all my love and care for them.

Faith came and stayed at my house for a week while my family went on holiday. I was nervous as I had never used Faith before, but when I met Faith I could see she had a lot of knowledge about animals. During our stay away Faith kept me updated and sent photos of my cat and dog which was very reassuring and showed that they were very happy 😃. My house was left clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend and use Faith again.

We’ve just returned from our first week away, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Jen gave to our dog, Lexi. Kennels would be far too overwhelming for her, and she’s the type who needs to really get to know someone before she’ll fully accept them — let alone share her bed with them! 🤣 From the moment Jen arrived, Lexi absolutely adored her. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable, loving hands. Jen kept us updated throughout the week with messages and photos, which meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday without a single worry. We feel so lucky to have found someone who understands Lexi so well. We’ve already booked Jen again for our next trip because there’s truly no one we’d trust more. Thank you, Jen, for taking such wonderful care of our girl. 💛

Kat was an amazing dog sitter for our dog, Leo! She was very easy to communicate with during the stay, which made everything feel stress-free. Leo was clearly well cared for and happy, and when we came home the house was left incredibly clean. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and reliability and would absolutely trust her with Leo again. Highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter!

Felicia was a fantastic cat sitter! She came by beforehand to meet my cats and get familiar with where everything was, which immediately put me at ease. While we were away, she kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which was so reassuring—especially since my cats are quite timid. It was lovely to see them gradually warming up to her visits. On top of that, she even offered to collect a parcel that had been left with a neighbour, which I felt was really above and beyond. I’m so grateful for her kindness and care, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Medway walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 Medway 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
