About: Im new to this, However I 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 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 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.
“Zantea was a fabulous sitter. She make everything super pleasant and updated us while we were away. I have never used Rover before but will definitely use again. Would highly recommend Zantea as a house sitter, she was so friendly, quick to respond to booking, on time and fun. Wynn also gives a five star review and would be happy to have Zantea as dog sitter again in the future.”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic. We have two dogs who are very much part the family and struggle being without us, they were completely happy with Lauren. We finally have a solution to leaving the dogs happy at home if we need to be away. Thank you Lauren. Highly recommended. Absolutely excellent.”
“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!”
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
“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 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.
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.
“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.”
“Amelia was so great with my puppy Nutmeg - gave her loads of time, care and affection. She also kept me updated throughout the booking with plenty of status updates and photos of Meg having a great time! Will definitely look to book Amelia again when I need future puppy sitting!”
About: We have had 6 rescue dogs of our own, and also have had our Daughter and sons dogs at times. We live in a flat, so difficult to have at home. We lost our last Staffie last year, so this is a good way for us to still have dogs. We are both retired, so have plenty of time to love and care for your pet. We know that your pet is a member of the family, and would give it all the attention it would need. We would have to have a meet and greet with owners and pets to ensure we understand the safety aspects of the property that we would be sitting in.
“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: Hi, I’m Hayley! A lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for rescues! I grew up caring for a rescue Jack Russell with a big personality and some behavioural challenges, but he was always a perfect gentleman on walks. That experience taught me patience, understanding, and how to build trust with animals. These days, I work full time as a Kennel Assistant, where I care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments every day. I also share my home with my rescue cat Moo, who’s become my best friend and constant companion. While I can’t offer full-time pet sitting, I’m available around my shifts and will dedicate the rest of my time and attention to caring for your pets. Whether it’s dog walking, pet sitting, or drop-in visits, I bring genuine care, attention, and love to every animal I meet. I’d be honoured to help care for your furry family member like they’re one of my own! I pride myself in being a trustworthy person and can ensure that your pet will remain safe and comfortable throughout my visits/stays. I would like to begin with a quick and free meet and greet at your convenience, so I can get to know your pet and your pet can get to know me. It is important for you to brief me on anything I need to know so that I can look after your pet in the best way. Ie: feeding and walking schedules, sleeping arrangements during overnight stays, or any ‘no go’s’ for you or your pet, as I know that every pet has their own needs. During overnight stays, in order to maintain the best safety for myself, my partner may stay with me on the odd occasion - if accepted by yourself. He may also help with walking, and visits occasionally however I am more than happy to discuss this with you before my stay.
“Andy was spot on. He was instantly comfortable with the dogs and we were more than happy to leave them with Andy knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely rebook and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter. It’s so nice being able to go out and not worry about the dogs at home. Thank you Andy!!”
“Georgia did a fantastic job helping to look after my very energetic Springador Remy. She always responded immediately and kept sending me regular updates during the stay. I would highly recommend Georgia.”
About: Hi, I’m Victoria! I’m a medical student with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a boxer dog and previously cared for another, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, strong breeds and understand the attention, exercise, and patience they need. I also volunteered at Dog Tales Sanctuary, where I walked dogs, spent time socializing with them, and helped care for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and have a flexible schedule, including weekends, to provide loving care for your pets. I typically have weekends fully free and can have a flexible schedule during the week. I am currently a medical student, which means I am highly dependable, detail-oriented, and excellent at following precise routines. My flexible timetable makes it easy for me to visit your home for walks or check-ins exactly when your pet needs them. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your routine, ensure all doors and gates are secure, and never leave them unattended. I am highly respectful of your space and keep it tidy.
“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!”

I’m not a fan of being away from my furry shadows so having someone trustworthy to look after them is very important to me! Amelia was great from the start, took time to understand Millie’s quirks (Dibley isn’t as quirky, just demanding!) and gave her plenty of cuddles which she loves. We had daily updates too which always helps when being away. Thank you Amelia! 😊x
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!
Patrycja is a fantastic sitter, and I can highly recommend her. She agreed to a two-week sit just two days before the start date after our previously confirmed sitter cancelled at the last minute. Patrycja followed our care instructions closely, and Bear had a calm and relaxed time with her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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.
