Rianna was so so lovely with our cat Willow when we went away for a few days. She sent lovely pictures and Willow was looked after so well. She was really professional and not phased when I said out kitty had some weird habits 😅 It was lovely to know Willow was in such good hands whilst we were away. I would definitely recommend Rianna and will be booking with her again 😊

About: Hi! We’re Abi and Saumya 👋 We’re a couple based in Milton Keynes who love travelling, exploring new places, and balancing busy days with cosy time at home. We both work from home in tech, which gives us a calm, structured, and flexible day-to-day routine. 🐾 Pet Experience We’re a caring and responsible dog-sitting couple with 2+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a home environment. We’ve looked after dogs for friends and local owners, including repeat stays, and are confident following individual routines, boundaries, and preferences. Our approach is calm, attentive, and affectionate, helping dogs feel settled, secure, and truly at home. 🕒 Schedule – How Pet Care Fits Into Our Daily Routine We both work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant company and supervision throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into our routine — from morning walks and feeding, to playtime, garden breaks, and quiet rest during the day. Because we’re always around, we’re able to respond quickly to your dog’s needs, offer reassurance, and give them plenty of attention and affection. 🏡 Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog will stay in a calm, clean, dog-free home with a private garden for play, fresh air, and toilet breaks. We prioritise a low-stress, home-from-home environment with plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. With two attentive adults sharing care and responsibility, your dog is rarely left alone and is always in safe, reliable hands. 📸 Communication & Peace of Mind We know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away, so we provide regular photo and video updates, along with clear and responsive communication. We pay close attention to behaviour, mood, and wellbeing, and will always keep you informed.

About: I have no special skills other than lots of love,cuddles long walks,and play time,to give your loved fur babies,I lost my shadow ( see photos ) at the start of the year and it broke my heart saying goodbye, he has left a big hole in my life,I cant bring myself to have another dog myself , as funny as it sounds I feel guilty at the thought of getting another dog, i cant replace him ! So I thought I can just give love and fuss to other fur babies, I will always be respectful or thier needs and wants,as owners instructions too, happy to give any medication they need , I will always clarify any details needed, I work full time,I have afternoons/evenings free,and I usually go for a walk in the evenings so why not help fur babies who may not be able to have an extra little walk or big walk ? I dont work weekends so am home more, so able to have over night stays, if your dog is used to being alone for a work day,except pop ins for a wee break lol, then I can do over night stays during the week too, also happy to stay at your own home so your dog feels more at ease and comfortable. Any dog that comes into my home,will be made to feel at home , loved,spoilt,happy to keep to any routines with walks food times etc, allowed to sleep upstairs with myself or downstairs if thats what they are used too, If staying in owners home then I respect your home and any belongings im not a messy person , and will give your dog as much or as little fuss as they want,

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.

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.

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: 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.

About: I grew up with dogs and have 9 back at my parents house in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. I have always loved being around animals as well as looking after them. I enjoy practicing different commands such as high five with the frenchie that I have in my pictures (my literal best friend). Going on walks is so enjoyable for me and having that company makes it all worth while. I just love seeing dogs happy as it makes me happy too. I understand the emotions of dogs and all are different in their own way. I am doing 12hr shift work in Security. I do 4 on, 4 off so I’m happy to help out when off work. I do quite a bit of running but this is mainly in the evenings so the day time is perfect for me. I have cared for both cats and dogs. Cats I usually just let them do their own thing unless they give hints that they want to play or be cuddled. Dogs I take for walks including picking up any mess made, let them out in the owners garden for a toilet break or enjoy the sun, play or cuddle with them, feed them if needed and practice commands if necessary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
