“Faith was friendly and very calm with my nervous dogs. Great communication through the day so I didn’t have to worry at all . Would highly recommend.Thank you very much Faith”
“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 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.
“Hollie was absolutely fantastic with my dogs – Chaos and Tara adored her! She stayed with them in our home for five nights, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was actually the first time we’ve ever had to leave them and use a dog sitter, so I was extremely anxious. As every dog owner knows, they’re like our babies, and the thought of leaving them in someone else’s care was really hard for me. From the very first moment, Hollie’s calm, confident and kind energy completely reassured me. She kept me updated throughout, sending photos and messages, which made it so much easier for me to relax while we were away. I truly didn’t have to worry at all. I can only recommend Hollie – she is wonderful, and I will absolutely be asking for her help again in the future. It’s such a relief to know that I can now travel with peace of mind, trusting her completely with both my dogs and my home.”
“Fabulous 👌 the girls adored her and took to her from the initial visit. Very confident and kept us well informed as to the girls well-being. Lovely to see them relaxed and out walking after only 1 day”
“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: Ever since I was little, I’ve had a connection and deep love for dogs. Although I’ve never owned a dog personally, I have grew up in a life that has constantly been surrounded by animals. I had a cat which I cherished and took great care of. And I have spent weeks at people’s houses helping them take care of their pets, mainly being dogs. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the faces of each dog I meet light up and jump for joy once they’re fully acquainted with me. I’m currently working part-time at the weekends but am fully flexible throughout the week for pet care. Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm. I service dog walking but nevertheless, the safety of the pet is of the utmost priority. Without ensuring the safety of our animals, we cannot guarantee the safety of ourselves and those around us.
“Phill did a great job looking after our two dogs. Pre our holiday Phil came and met dogs and then stopped in again just before we left. On the day of our departure Phil came early to ensure all set. Dogs warmed to him straight away and that includes our rescue who can be tricky with some people and especially men. Daily updates, comms and pictures sent throughout our 2 week holidays. Not only did Phil do a great job with the dogs but kept himself busy doing some painting around the house and in the garden painting our walls and steps which was great as jobs that have been meaning to do and now all done! All without asking Phil to do. House was also very clean with Phil doing a clean before we got home. Despite getting home in the early hours Phil stayed and waited for us to get home to make sure all good! We will definitely use Phil again and would recommend!”
“We cannot recommend Amii highly enough! 🌟 She looked after our two very lively girls (a bouncy 2-year-old Staffy and an energetic 1-year-old Rottie) for three weeks while we were abroad for our wedding, and she was nothing short of incredible. From long adventurous walks, to snuggles on the sofa, to brain-training and fun activities — she truly went above and beyond to make sure they were loved, stimulated, and completely happy. It was such a comfort knowing they were in such safe and caring hands, especially being such high-energy pups. Ami kept us updated with photos and messages, so we could enjoy our wedding without worrying for a second. We came home to two very content, relaxed, and clearly well-loved dogs. If you’re looking for someone who treats your fur babies like family — Ami is the one. ❤️🐾 10/10, would book again without hesitation!”
About: I have a Foundation Degree in Animal Management. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs and cats as pets for most of my life. Petting sitting is my main focus, so I can devote plenty of time to looking after your pets, and my diary availability is fairly flexible. I am more than happy to look after your pet in their home environment, and can offer check ins during the day as needed, as well as ensuring they have access to outdoors and walks as needed.
About: I have cared for small and medium dogs (from very nervous to very energetic) through rover, including walking weekly and boarding for up to 10 days, I make sure to let the dogs out to potty every 1-2 hours and I typically walk them at 6/7am and around 5/6pm (during boarding). I am located near Gillingham high street, so the Great lines is on my doorstep. Drop me a text if you need a pet that requires walks/boarding/drop ins and I will let you know my availability as it may change weekly dependant on my uni schedule. I am currently studying for my Masters in Forensic Psychology, so I am at University two times a week. I am always happy to meet prior to booking, so that we can discuss your dog’s needs, their behaviour towards other dogs and their typical schedule. My busiest days are Thursday and Friday, so I typically get back at 7pm but I always make time for pets so that they can have one or two walks per day. Other than that my schedule is free so I can spoil your dog with attention and lots of play. In terms of boarding, I have a fenced garden so I can take dogs for regular potty breaks with no problem. I usually walk dogs twice a day. I make sure to play with the dogs and try to teach them new tricks, so don’t forget to bring their favourite ball/toy and other necessities like treats 😊 I like to educate myself on the best ways to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulation, whether that hiding treats in blankets or freezing carrots so your pet can work for their rewards. If there’s anything similar to this that you like to do with your dog, I am happy to take on new suggestions and try them out.
“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”

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!

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.
