“we left our dog Tiago with Leanne for a week Her communication with us throughout has been excellent and having never used a sitting service put us at ease. She visited us prior to sitting to meet Tiago. She sent us messages and pictures of Tiago throughout her stay reassuring us that he was happy we certainly will be using Lauren in the future to sit for Tiago thank you so much Diane and Ian x”

“Veronica did a last minute house sit for our two dogs while we were on holiday. Our dogs can be quite hyper active and bounce off each other's energy a lot, which can be overwhelming for some people, but Veronica was amazing with them throughout the whole stay. She took them on lots of walks, gave them lots of fuss and play, and it's obvious they really enjoyed her company. We got videos and photos throughout the stay which eased my mind as we hadn't left them both together with anyone before, so we weren't sure how they'd behave or react. She made sure the house was super clean and tidy when we came back, which was great as we got back very late and it was one less thing to worry about doing! Overall an amazing experience and we'd be more than happy for her to look after our dogs again any time. ☺️”

“Couldn't be happier with India's service! We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our senior dog Gabby overnight as she's recently gone blind and is still adjusting to our new house. We knew right away that we didn't have to worry as India was very calm, patient, and understanding. She sent me frequent updates and pictures so I could see how Gab was getting on, and we came home to a very happy and well looked after pooch. Highly recommend and will certainly be booking again in the future!”


About: I'm a dedicated animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each pet's individual personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with nervous pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to care for energetic puppies and kittens. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), or plenty of cuddles, I always provide reliable, loving care and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. My work is very flexible and work from home for bits which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets when they need walking, giving them attention and playing with them, letting them out for potty and feeding them. I listen to what you do in your home and respect those boundaries that are set up example pets not allowed on furniture I will respect those rules.

“Alfie did a fab job looking after our 3 dogs and house whilst we were away for a couple of days. Returned to a clean a tidy house and happy dogs. I was given regular updates and he followed the instructions as required.”

About: I’m a dog lover who’s grown up with animals of all shapes and sizes. My parents owned a working farm, so animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve owned dogs from Mastiff to my current cheeky Sausage dog. With the years of hands on experience I’m confident handling dogs with all kinds of personalities, including those with the challenging behaviour. Whether it’s a long Country Park walk, play time or a simply cuddle on the sofa. I make sure every dog feels safe, happy and loved while in my care. Your dog’s or cat’s wellbeing is always my top priority. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time dog or cat sitting. Various times available , but can be discussed further before booking. If needed to look after a puppy or small dog , I have gated and fenced all around garden, so your pet’s will be safe and secured and my little friendly Dachshund to run around with.
“Tehya looked after Phoebe as if she was her own dog. I was kept informed with photos and messages and she left my home as clean and tidy as I left it. I will definitely be using her services again as it takes all the stress our of leaving my dog behind when I know she is so well looked after and happy.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of leaving my baby boy, Diego, in Eden’s care—and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. This was the very first time I entrusted someone outside of family to look after him, and Eden exceeded every expectation. She was exceptionally attentive, warm, and professional from the very beginning, creating a safe and nurturing environment that immediately put both Diego and me at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Diego had a wonderful time in her care. I am truly greatful for the peace of mind she provided, and I feel confident knowing he was in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Eden to any fur baby parent looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced.”


“Simran really took the time to understand what Beau needed and also did a great job keeping our house clean and organised over the time she was here - everything was spotless. He was relaxed and peaceful with her, we got lots of photos and updates. Overall a very positive experience”


“Hannah was a perfect fit to look after my very large dog. She made sure his needs came first, including circumnavigating the heatwave to safely walk him. Hannah took the time to find out everything she needed to know about the dog, house and garden. I knew all were in safe hands.”

“A big thanks to Charlotte for taking care of our two whippets for the day. She arrived promptly and took everything in her stride. I was certain they were in safe hands and would definitely ask her again, if needed. Would also definitely recommend her to anyone else. Thanks again, Charlotte. I think you have two new best friends.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up caring for pet rabbits, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing consistent care. While I haven’t owned a dog myself due to a family allergy, I regularly help care for my boyfriend’s dog, who feels like part of my own family and whom I have an amazing relationship with. I walk, feed, play with, and look after her whenever her family is away, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’m a uni student home for the summer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I regularly help care for my boyfriend’s dog by walking, feeding, playing with, and looking after her when family members are away. I do my best to be accommodating and will make sure your pet receives the exercise, attention, and companionship they need while you’re away. Your doggie’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they feel secure and cared for. Having grown up caring for rabbits and regularly looking after a dog, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands!
“We can’t praise the sitters enough. After a week away we came home to find Sonny with better routines than when we left and it’s obvious he was treated as one of their own. Can’t thank them enough and will be using them again and thoroughly recommend them.”

“What a delightful young lady. My two poodles were so happy for Hannah to be looking after them, they hardly made a fuss of me when I returned home! She sent a daily update with photos - it was all simply perfect. She is completely trustworthy and reliable, which is hugely important when handing over your home and pets. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Hannah again.”

“Excellent service from Fiona, we did the meet and greet and all went well, Fiona then came over as arranged, kept us informed of how it was all going and on our return went through what the doggies had been up to - which isn’t much being greyhounds 😂 would thoroughly recommend and will be using again..”

“Alejandro is an experienced, friendly and very helpful dog sitter! His communication is excellent and he is punctual and really went the extra mile to help us on Christmas Eve! More than would be expected! Thanks Alex Zeeno and us are looking forward to future meetings! Gracias!!”

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 Melton 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 Melton 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
