“Thank you Charlotte for dropping in on my two boys (2x 4 month old puppies ) Charlotte came for a meet and great first and has kept me updated during their first drop in visit. I was obviously nervous about leaving them but Charlotte put my mind at rest straight away and send me lovely pictures of the boys. There has been great communication throughout - would definitely recommend Charlotte.”
“Ondine was very lovely with Ginger and went beyond my expectations for a catsitter. We had daily updates with pictures and videos. Would definitely book again and also would recommend to friends.”
“This was the first time we had left Rick and George and I was concerned they would not be happy but Taylor was brilliant with them, even taking Rick’s many ‘gifts’ in her stride! We would happily recommend Taylor to friends and family and will definitely be using her again. Thank you Taylor.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. What started as a natural love of animals has since become my profession. I'm now a qualified animal behaviourist with a Postgraduate Certificate in Companion Animal Behaviour and Welfare, which means I don't just look after your dog — I understand them. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer sit, you can trust your dog is in safe, knowledgeable hands. I know what to do to keep your dog happy, settled, entertained and safe. I run my own dog and cat behaviour consultancy, which means my schedule is flexible. Drop ins fit naturally around my working day and I'm used to planning my time around animals and your pets will always be my priority during a booked visit. I'm available across the week and can discuss timing to suit your routine. When I visit your home for a drop in, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd give my own. Your pet stays in their familiar environment, with their own smells, routine and comfort which is often far less stressful than going somewhere new. As a qualified animal behaviourist, I'm trained to read dog and cat body language and respond appropriately, so I'll always handle your pet calmly and confidently. I follow your instructions to the letter and will always update you during every visit.
About: Hi, I’m Shannon! I provide dedicated one-to-one pet care, focusing on one household at a time so your pets always receive my full attention. I’m fully DBS checked, insured and CPD certified. My calm, patient approach makes me especially suited to nervous, rescue, elderly and reactive pets. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, relaxed and loved in their own environment, and I always tailor my care to their individual routine and personality. Regular photo updates and meet-and-greets are all part of the service. 🐾 Pet care fits around my part-time schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to every booking. I only care for one household at a time, so each pet receives my full attention without juggling multiple families. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, depending on the service required. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I care for pets in their own familiar environment where they feel happiest and most secure. Before every booking I arrange a meet-and-greet to learn about routines, personalities, feeding, medications and any special requirements. I’m fully DBS checked, insured and provide regular photo and video updates throughout every stay.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my strong background in animal care combined with years of hands-on, real-life experience. I studied Animal Care at college for almost five years, which gave me a solid understanding of animal behaviour, welfare, and the importance of proper daily care. Alongside my studies, I have spent much of my life caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as looking after pets for friends and family who trusted and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their animals while they were away. This experience has taught me how important routine, patience, and individual attention are for keeping pets happy and relaxed. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every pet is different, and I take the time to understand their needs, personalities, and routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Although I work full time Monday to Friday, I have plenty of free time before and after work, allowing me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 17:00, as well as throughout weekends, when I can dedicate even more time to walks, play, and companionship. My routine is calm and structured, which helps pets settle quickly and feel comfortable in my care. Mornings and evenings are always focused on feeding, walks, playtime, and one-to-one attention, ensuring pets never feel rushed or overlooked. Weekends offer even more flexibility, making them ideal for longer stays, extra walks, and relaxed time together. Whether it’s weekday evenings or weekend boarding, your pet will be welcomed into a safe, caring environment where their routine and wellbeing always come first. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. My home is fully fenced, providing a secure outdoor space where pets can enjoy fresh air safely under supervision. I also have CCTV cameras both inside and outside the property, offering an extra layer of security and constant monitoring for complete peace of mind. While in my care, each pet will be fitted with an AirTag, allowing their location to be tracked at all times. This added precaution ensures that, should the unexpected ever occur, your pet can be located quickly and easily. In addition to these measures, I closely supervise all pets, follow their usual routines, and take time to understand their individual needs and boundaries. My aim is to create a safe, calm, and secure environment where you can feel confident knowing your pet is protected and well cared for at all times.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs.

I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs a gentler approach, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important regular updates are, so I’ll always keep you informed with photos and messages for complete peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away, so you can travel knowing they’re in safe hands. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to adapt to your pet’s needs whenever possible.

I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe and caring hands.
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life as we've always had one as a family pet. I've also taken friends and neighbours dogs for walks along with dog sitting them. I always make a lovely bond and always make sure all animals are well looked after as they are more family than animals Pet care becomes a natural part of my own daily rhythm it’s woven into my schedule almost like clockwork. Here’s how it typically fits in: Morning: Wake-up nudge: Your dog might be your alarm clock. First task? A quick potty break or walk. Feeding time: You prep their breakfast while maybe grabbing your own. Grooming check: A quick brush, paw check, or wiping off muddy paws if needed. Midday: Exercise/play: Whether you're on a lunch break or home during the day, this is a chance to stretch legs and play fetch or tug. Mental stimulation: Maybe a puzzle toy, a training session, or even just some one-on-one time. Evening: Walk or play session: A wind-down activity that burns off energy. Feeding and clean-up: Dinner and water refill, along with any tidying up. Affection/cuddles: Pets need emotional care, too. This could be snuggle time on the couch while you relax. Before Bed: Bathroom break: One last trip outside. Health checks: You might slip in a quick ear check, teeth brushing, or meds if needed. I have a fenced off garden front and back due to having my own dogs with a side gate, dogs will not get out alone

About: About Me Hi! I’m Sophie – a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area surrounded by fields, with a secure open garden and a small enclosed one right next to my house. I work from home, so your pets will never be left alone – they’ll be part of the family while they’re here. I share my home with my own friendly crew: 🐾 Kisa, my gentle elderly dog who’s the queen of calm cuddles 🐾 Harley, an older collie mix who still plays like a pup 🐾 Mimi, a sweet 9-month-old kitten (friendly to all – except the local voles 😅) I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and indoor-only cats. I’ve also cared for dogs with complex needs, including those with seizures, deafness, and medication routines (oral meds, injections, eye drops – you name it). I’m happy to accommodate special care and will always work with you to ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I prioritise keeping owners informed and at ease – I know how hard it is to leave your furry family behind, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. ❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday routine! I live and work from home, so I’m always around to give the animals in my care plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. (I work in cimla voluntarily on weekends - can sit in that area) Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, supervised play in the garden, or peaceful strolls through the nearby fields, your pet’s needs easily fit into my schedule. I’m used to working around feeding times, medication schedules, and different energy levels — from playful pups to snoozy seniors. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. I sometimes volunteer on the weekends but that's as and when! Pets in my care are treated like extended pack members from the moment they arrive. I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and comfortable — whether that means quiet time, playtime, or sticking closely to their usual routine. At my home, I have an open garden surrounded by peaceful countryside, perfect for sniffy walks and fresh air. I also have a smaller enclosed garden right next to the house for potty breaks and supervised outside time. I never leave pets unsupervised outside. Inside, pets have full access to safe, cozy spaces, with comfy spots to relax and regular opportunities for cuddles, enrichment, and play. I supervise all interactions between pets and always follow your preferences regarding routines, feeding, sleeping, and exercise. I have experience with: Administering medication (oral, eye drops, injections) Caring for elderly, deaf, or anxious animals Managing multi-pet households calmly and safely Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I aim to create a calm, stress-free experience where they feel loved and you feel reassured 🐾

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Merthyr Tydfil
I was going away for three days and needed to find a new cat sitter, and Alison’s profile immediately stood out to me. There was a great selection of photos of her with the pets she had looked after, and it was clear straight away that she has a genuine love and affinity for animals. I’m so glad I chose Alison! She kept me regularly updated with photos and short videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, the house was spotless and, most importantly, my two cats were happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alison and will definitely be using her again.
I couldn’t recommend Charlotte enough! From the first meeting she was so reassuring, answered all our questions and was just amazing, she looked after our little boy perfectly, whilst we was getting married we received photos of our boy which really put us at ease which took a lot of pressure off us, we hope to use Charlotte again soon.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
