“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.

There has been great communication throughout - would definitely recommend Charlotte.”
“Laura was an exceptional dog sitter and proved to be both reliable and absolutely amazing with our three dogs. From the moment she arrived, she engaged them with genuine enthusiasm, taking the time to play and interact in a way that clearly delighted them. She carefully followed every instruction we provided, demonstrating both attentiveness and professionalism throughout. Our dogs formed an immediate and affectionate bond with her, which spoke volumes about her natural ability and gentle approach. We would not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone seeking a trustworthy, capable, and truly wonderful caregiver for their pets.”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and birds. I have grown up around cats and am very comfortable looking after cats of all ages with various quirks. My routine is currently simple, I work from home so can spend plenty of time with your animals. I will let you know if this changes or if I have anywhere to be for extended periods during the week Growing up around cats I understand them very well and can give them space where needed or give them cwtches or play depending on their needs

Pet 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.
Such a positive experience as a first time user of support for my Border Terriers. Alison was professional punctual and communicative which all made the experience very smooth..but more importantly my dogs took to her and her home instantly and the videos and pictures made me fear they may not want to come home! Next stay is already booked 😁

Yes. There are up to 1,268 pet sitters offering care in and around Merthyr Tydfil. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
