“Zantea was incredible, she is reliable, proficient & caring. This was our first experience with our puppy being left with someone other than ourselves. She was well cared for , entertained & not anxious at all. The visit was for 8 hours. We will be booking Zantea for another session very soon. Highly recommended.”
“Justyna was excellent! Florence was very excited when she arrived and was very calm and happy when I got home. Justyna sent us photos through out the afternoon and made sure to keep Flo nice and cool in the heat! We would definitely ask her to dog sit again :)”
About: When I was 19, my neighbour trusted me to look after their dog. I fed, bathed, walked, and played with them, and made sure they felt safe and comfortable. I’m patient and caring, and I always pay attention to what each pet needs—whether that’s lots of play for younger pets or a calmer approach for older ones. I just want every pet to feel happy and relaxed while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays, depending on the week), and on weekdays I’m available before 3pm on selected days. I’m flexible and always try to fit around each pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable and well looked after. I’ve got a fenced garden so dogs can play outside safely, and my room is quite spacious so they’ve got room to move around and relax. I give them attention and playtime, and try to keep to their normal routine with feeding and walks so they feel comfortable. I just make sure they’re settled, safe, and well looked after.
“Lauren is lovely and did a great job with Luna & Cocoa, they were very well looked after. We would highly recommend her and would be happy to have her sit for us again in the future.”
“Simon was absolutely brilliant. He took such good care of my Dog and kept me updated too. Sadly I had to come home earlier than expected but Simon was always easy to communicate with and kept in touch. I couldn’t be happier.”
About: I have always been around animals since I was a child. Neighbours, friends and family always come to me to ask me to look after their pets. Happy to meet before a visit to ensure all your pet's needs are met. I work weekdays 9-5 so can cat sit on any day of the week. Dogs, I can house sit at weekends. I work 9-5 Mon to Fri so am available for pop ins in the morning and evening and all day at the weekend as required I have a safe secure back garden. Will follow owners advice especially when walking any dogs to ensure they are kept safe at all times
About: I have had various experience with a few dogs since i started this, I also owned have had my own dog until she died, and I have owned a cat for 4 years. I also grew up around lots of pets. I am a strong built women so I am able to handle larger dogs and pulling on walks. Animals tend to just love me and always listen to me this helps me to take care of your pets with ease I work from home most days on 830-330pm. This allows me to be flexible with my hours and i am able to work from any location. This gives me the time to help take care of other peoples fur babies. I live on a ground floor flat. So my cat has the freedom to come and go as she pleases with the window always purched open for her. I experience with many different types of dogs, big and small and nervous dogs, young and old i know how to manage each one acsording to their need. I know to listen to the owner and adapt how i approach each animal based on what i have been told.
About: I grew up around animals and have personal experience caring for cats and family dogs. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, calm and comfortable in their own home. What makes my care different is that I’m calm, attentive and careful with routines. I like to understand each pet’s personality and follow the owner’s instructions closely, so the visit feels familiar and stress-free. I offer home visits for cats and dogs, with short local walks or toilet breaks for dogs when needed. I currently have flexible availability, so I can adapt to different pet care routines. I can usually offer morning, afternoon and evening visits, including weekends and bank holidays, depending on the booking. For dogs, I can include short local walks or toilet breaks as part of the visit when needed. I am also open to house sitting when the pet’s routine, dates and requirements are a good fit. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep the visit calm, clean and respectful. During each visit, I can check food, water, litter trays, playtime, companionship and basic home details. I also provide photo or video updates, so owners know their pet is safe and cared for. For access, I’m happy to follow the owner’s preferred method, such as key handover or a lockbox, with all details confirmed clearly before the booking.
“As Nala can be anxious when we’re away, seeing her so calm, content, and settled when we came home meant the world to us. This was Nala’s first time being looked after at home by Ashley and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we returned, it was obvious she had been well cared for by Ashley! Nala was happy, relaxed, and completely herself, which gave us so much reassurance. It was clear that she received plenty of love, attention, and care while we were away. We really appreciated the updates from Ashely and the peace of mind knowing Nala was in such capable hands. We would highly recommend your pet sitting services and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl!”
“Donna and Nyki are wonderful sitters and I would have no hesitation using them again and recommending them. They clearly love animals and ensure their care is the priority. They give regular updates too which is nice and reassuring. Friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.”
About: I’m currently working my way into the animal care industry. I’ve always loved animals, both wild and domestic. I have a lot of free time at the moment so I’d love to spend it wisely and productively so what better way to do so by pet sitting a neighbour in need. There are many cats in my area, some strays and others belong to neighbours but they somehow always find their way in our home and make it their own due to all the love and attention they find here.
About: I have had cats for 10 years of my life. I have a resuce cat called Badger, he is 7 years old and I absolutely adore him. I am fully insured and DBS checked. I am happy to provide water and food for your cat, clean the bowls, empty litter trays, and make sure there is fresh litter for your kitty. Enjoy lots of play time with your cat and give them lots of affection. I am very flexible, I can visit once or twice a day. I currently work from home as I am self employed. I am very flexible, I can be available in the mornings and evenings and I am available weekends. I would ensure that all doors are closed to make sure they don't get outside, especially indoor cats. I would follow feeding requirements from the owner.
“Jess is a great dog sitter, we’ve tried a few on Rover and Jess is by far the best we’ve ever used. She kept us updated on the girls with plenty of great photos. The girls were all very happy and relaxed when we got home, we would definitely use Jess again. Thanks for looking after our girls”
“Marcé did a great job communicating with me and a friend if mine to coordinate handover and kept me up to date on the dogs with videos and pictures. I am delighted with the level of care and am hoping to book a sit again!”
About: I had a dog since I was 6 years old and took care of him through his diabetes as he grew older. I can administer insulin injections and eyedrops, and am good at getting dogs to swallow pills. Towards the end of my dogs life, I was able to feed him using syringes so am very experienced with older dogs, and can adapt to the individual needs of your dog. I have also dog sat for younger dogs as well as large dogs, so am able to deal with all ages and sizes. Im a university student, currently at home full time during my summer holidays. This means I will be available most times for pet care and am very flexible. I have a large garden with fences all around, making it impossible for the pet to sneakily escape, whilst providing a fun area for dogs to play in. I have air conditioning inside my kitchen so it will stay cool for the dogs during these hot summer days.
“Really great sitter - left him with my Doberman who is high energy and needs routine. Kevin and his wife Lennie both took care of Cody and took him for big walks in the woods, dog fields and other walks around the estate. I would definitely recommend Kevin for big dogs as it is hard to find a good solid dog sitter for such a breed. Kevin has also left the house spotless!”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Milton Keynes
Amelia was fantastic from the start. We could tell at the meet and greet that our lab Rosie would love her, and we were right! She sent regular updates, photos, and videos of both dogs throughout the stay, which really put our minds at ease. Our anxious rescue really came out of his shell with her, which meant so much to us. She even left the house spotless. We’ll definitely be booking her again - highly recommend!”
Really happy with the care our dogs received. Dorota was lovely, easy to communicate with, and sent photo updates so we always knew they were doing well. Our rescue dog can be anxious with new people, and she was great at giving him space and letting him settle in on his own terms. Our lab, who’s also a bit nervous at first, was at ease with her quickly too. It was such a relief to relax knowing they were both in good hands. Would definitely book again :)
We've used Natalie several times and always leave knowing the dogs are in great hands! She sent photos and videos twice a day, which kept us reassured. Based on previous experience with Natalie, we trusted her to try Rosie off lead on walks this time - she did brilliantly! Harry is our anxious Romanian rescue who always takes a few days to warm up to new people. Through Natalie's updates it was wonderful to watch him go from keeping his distance, to getting curious, to eventually asking for bum scratches. If you know rescue dogs, you'll know that's no small feat! The house was left clean and tidy too. Trustworthy, friendly, and the dogs love her - we couldn't ask for more :)
Donna and Nyki are wonderful sitters and I would have no hesitation using them again and recommending them. They clearly love animals and ensure their care is the priority. They give regular updates too which is nice and reassuring. Friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
Jane was great. From the first call, to the meet and greet, to the dog sitting! Great communication, regular pupdates and I knew my dogs would be in safe hands. It was so important to me to find someone I could trust as one of my dogs has fear reactivity from his past life which sometimes still reappears. Thank you Jane. Lucky to have found you and the cuddle monsters say thank you too 🙂
Strider absolutely loves his time with Daryl and Veronica. They keep pace with his high energy well taking him on multiple walks, playing, and giving snuggles. We always get a load of photos from their time together where Strider always looks so happy. Daryl and Veronica are also very respectful of our house and we trust them completely. Strider always looks for them after they leave and then falls asleep showing us he's had the best day!
Lucie was absolutely amazing with our dog, Isla. Isla loved her straightaway and was happily snuggling with her on the sofa when we left. She took her on some great walks whilst we were gone and fed her her dinner exactly as we'd asked. Isla was so happy and relaxed when we came back, we could tell she'd enjoyed her time with Lucie. Lucie also communicated with us regularly throughout the day and sent photos to let us know how Isla was getting on. She even fed and played with our cat which was so appreciated. She left the house clean and tidy as well so that we could just relax when we came back. Such a great overall experience, we will definitely be booking her again next time we go away!

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 Milton Keynes 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 Milton Keynes 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.
