“Thank you so much Andrea! Lenny is almost 16 now & blind and I came home to a happy relaxed wee boy. It was so good to be able to have him in his own environment with his normal routine, without too much upset. I've already rebooked!”
About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting for 3 years now, on top of that I have always had pets and taken pride in looking after and training them :) I have a fairly open schedule, I am able to fit bookings around my studies. Send me a message about what you need and I will respond as quick as I can :) I am unfortunately unable to care for your pet in my own home due to the size, however I am able to pet sit in your home, I am trust worthy and can follow specific instructions on how to care for your pet
About: I like to board animals from one household at a time, providing a luxury service that your pet/pets will appreciate and love! All dogs that had been sharing their days with us, repeat the experience and wag their tails every time they come back! We have the best reviews on Facebook too! After studying animal management and dog-feline behaviour, I worked for many years with big cats as an ecologist. Since then, I worked in different areas of animal welfare feral animals and my favourite; wildlife rehabilitation. I have many years of experience caring for various species while working in the RSPCA and as part of other NGOs around the globe. For the past few years, I have been teaching about animal welfare, animal husbandry and ecology. My expertise focuses on behaviourally challenged cats and dogs as well as caring for different species and life stages (puppy to geriatric) and specific medical conditions (administration of medication). I love meeting the owners and the animals first to break the ice and make a connection! I work from home so, I have plenty of time for socialising and playing outdoors and a lot of love, care and fuss for your babies😍. I have a huge garden where we exercise from the geriatric dogs to the most active ones. This is needed, as we do not let any dogs off the lead when we take them for long walks, for security reasons.
“Had my first meeting with Angela since she will soon look after my dog for a few days while I am on holiday. She is very nice and polite and knowledgeable about dogs! Everything went smoothly and now I feel less stressed about leaving my fur baby!”
About: At the dog shelter, I would walk, feed and groom the dogs. I would also spend time with the dogs in their kennels, whilst cleaning their kennels. I’m looking for a side hustle, since at the moment it’s quite difficult finding a part-time job. So my schedule is very flexible and free. I love spending time with any animals, especially dogs, and I enjoy playing with them and trying to teach them new tricks. I’m not easily frightened by dogs and I can understand when a dog needs space, food or a walk.
About: I used to do agility training with my older dog. I'm also used to dealing with nervous dogs, who sound aggressive. I've helped in training my dogs for commands like sit, along with teaching them to move out of way and some tricks such as paw. I'm currently studying a full time uni course, with in person lectures on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I have a lot of availability to take care of your dogs I will communicate well with the owner and follow their guidance by asking how they take care of their pet and replicate that because every pet is different. I will walk the dog on the lead, unless I am certain it will come back to me and I am in an enclosed area.
About: Hi! I’m Eva, a 21-year-old Biomedical student currently on placement. My studies can be pretty full-on, so spending time with animals is honestly one of the best ways for me to unwind. I’ve grown up around pets and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. At home I have quite the little animal family myself two beautiful dogs, four cats, and three guinea pigs so I’m very used to different personalities, routines, and care needs. From energetic walks and playtime to quiet cuddles and feeding routines, I’m comfortable with it all. I’m a patient, responsible, and caring sitter who understands how important it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and proper care. If you’re looking for someone reliable who genuinely loves animals, I’d be more than happy to help look after your furry family member! Pet care fits really well into my routine, especially towards the end of the week. I’m typically available on Friday evenings as well as during the day on Saturdays and Sundays. This means I can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care without being rushed. As a student, I’m very organised with my time and I enjoy spending my free time around animals, so caring for pets over the weekend works perfectly for me. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I always aim to care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable, happy and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I would make sure to follow the instructions provided carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime and any specific care needs. I understand that pets feel safest in familiar environments, so I take the time to help them feel relaxed and well looked after. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise depending on their needs and personality. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. As someone who has multiple pets of my own including dogs, cats, and guinea pigs I’m very used to different routines, temperaments and care requirements. I always treat every pet as if they were my own and make their wellbeing my top priority.
“Lucy was absolutely amazing! Helped out at short notice with no hassle or problems. Got back from holiday and the girls looked happy, chilled and well looked after. Thank you so much, Lucy! We will definitely ask for your help in the future if you’re free xx”
About: I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was 3 years old. I currently have a 9 year old terrier with old lady back legs and a 1 year old dachshund. I also have 3 cats, 2 boys and a girl.

I have many years of pet ownership experience and hold an animal first aid certification. I work predominantly from home, our back doors are open on sunny days and animals are able to access my secure garden at their leisure. I live in a beautiful Nottinghamshire village with multiple country walks on our doorstep. My garden is an acre of lawn and orchard. My animals have full access was to our home. My garden is secure. I have a 9 year old terrier and two cats in my home. Daily walks and lots of cuddles are a must. I have a local vet in the village should your fur baby need anything during their stay.
About: After a health scare & with my boys being much older now, I completed an Animal Care course to gain additional knowledge in animal care. I had a Westie for 16 years & now have a Havachon that we have had for 10 years now. I have built up a good sized portfolio of regular dogs & cats through BARK providing walks, pop ins & stays. *Additional customer reviews can be found on BARK. I am available in the week to walk & the week/weekend to provide pop in visits & day stays at my house. I do go over to France four times per year as we have a small house out there, but this would be discussed with the pet owners. I am offering dog walking, pop ins & day visits to my house. I have a large house & a good sized garden which is fenced & gated with no way to escape. I take my own dog Lola over to another village where there is a lovely long lane where we walk. I have now built up a good sized client base & so I would plan accordingly with your dog or cat & my regular clients.

I'd love to hear about the measures you take!
“Orissa looked after my two Maine Coons while I was on holiday for a few days. This was my first time using rover so I wasn’t really sure what to expect and to be honest I was quite anxious. But after my meet and greet with Orissa, that all changed as she was so lovely to me and the boys and knew exactly what to do right away. While I was away Orissa would regularly send photos and write detailed reports of her visit which were so heartwarming. It reassured me and my partner that the boys were in the best hands. She took care of the boys so well, looking after their food, litter and also our house. When I came back the house was clean and tidy just how we left it. The boys seemed happy too as they had great company and someone to play with. Sometimes they can get lonely on their own so it’s nice to know there’s someone there for them. Overall, Orissa was amazing and would recommend to anyone who needs someone to take care of their furry babies while they’re away.”
“Sarah is super calm and relaxed, our rescue dog Hazel is a bit anxious around new people but Sarah put her at ease and looked after her for us with plenty of updates and photos. Thanks so much Sarah! xx”

First time I've used a cat sitter whilst abroad for a week, Jade was amazing, both at looking after my precious cat and calming my nerves about leaving her! She popped round beforehand for a visit, and whilst away Jade sent loads of pics and videos. She was very patient with my anxious cat on her twice a day visits. I highly recommend Jade, she was very accommodating of my requested out of hours visits and genuinely cared for my cat, so grateful to know kitty was in safe hands.
Thank you Rory for looking after Tage & Trixie so well. Lovely updates and pics during his care and when we returned the girls didn’t seem to have noticed we’d been away - always a great sign! Rory is very conscientious and goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Rory and have him back to sit for us any time.
Ava is very friendly and Felix took to her straight away. He seemed happy and well when we got home so obviously enjoyed his time with Ava. She kept in touch and sent photos which was really nice, I never had any concerns. She also left everything clean and tidy which was lovely and appreciated. I will definitely ask for her next time we go away.

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.

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.

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.
