“Fantastic dogsitter! Kim is warm and looked after my older dog so well. She sends regular pics and updates and he is very relaxed in her lovely home. I recommend Kim highly as she is also an approved dogsitter with the local council.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals, training young ones and tending to injuries or ongoing needs. From terriers and spaniels to farm felines and couch cats, and most inbetween. I don't have my own at home now, and have been boarding or walking for friends to fill the fluff shaped gap. Keen to share my space more often and give a safe spot to play and rest while owners are away, or just for walkies and check ins. I'm fair and fun with dogs, love to make their brain and nose work with hide & seek games. Cats are royalty and so entitled to their own agenda; no pressure from me to make fast friends unless they want to play or come for cuddles. I'm in and around most of the day, taking time work on some passion projects at home. Often find myself in the park or a cafe, boarders very welcome to accompany me! One evening per week I work out of the house for 2-4 hours, which can be worked around. I've worked in support for many years, and see sitting quite the same! If visiting their home, first off cover the basics of food, water, access to outside and play. Keeping the environment safe and clean, noticing signs of distress and adapting to what they need as much as possible. At home, there's comfy places to curl up and space to play. The kitchen is ideal for a quiet area to eat and decompress if they need it, with managed access to the yard. I have a fenced yard with a shrubby boarder for toilet and run around time. Some access to neighbours' lawn.
“We booked Finn in with Larissa as a last minute emergency booking, as have been extremely satisfied! Our dog bounced into their lives! We were kept mostly updated with photo's and comments about his time! When we picked him up he seemed very content, no signs of stress at all! Finn was even given a toy as a parting gift! Finn has been extremely well looked after and we will come back again!”
“We were really happy to leave our Irish Terrier with Ros and Charles and will happily do so again. Their knowledge and understanding of dogs shines through and they were very happy to discuss Pogues needs/quirks with us in detail. Pogue came home very happy and relaxed. Playing chase with Ros and relaxing with Charles clearly suited him!”
“Alla looked after our dog, Biscuit this weekend and we were really impressed! Biscuit is a rescue dog and can be reactive with other dogs, Alla took the time to get to know Biscuit and understand her needs and she came back a very happy dog! Alla is really friendly and approachable and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which was fantastic! We highly recommend Alla, she was great!”
“Brigitte has minded our dog Ringo three times now, and she's been great. Ringo can be a little nervous so he was a bit anxious the first time he went, but Brigitte was so patient and made sure he got on well with her own dog, and he's now always really happy to go! Brigitte's also great with contact and has been very flexible any time our travel plans have changed, so it's been really easy to arrange boarding any time we've needed it so far :)”
“Phoebe took absolutely wonderful care of our dog Rufus. He came back happy and tired out and had clearly enjoyed his stay. We received regular updates with photos which put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Amy looked after peanut for the weekend for me and he had the best time! She gave me regular updates and he was very well cared for and treated like their own! Would highly recommend Amy and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy!”
“Lauren was very accommodating especially with my loose timeframes which was very helpful and very much appreciated! Ralphy had a good stay and got to interact with another dog which definitely helped his own anxiety of being left! Lauren helped my own anxiety by sending updates over text and was super nice throughout! Would hugely recommend to everyone 😁”
“Brooke was really great with Dough, he had a lovely time with her and another dog (it must have been nice to have another big dog to play with!) would recommend and use her services again :)”
“Murphy had a fabulous home from home experience this week. Judith has a lovely friendly personality that put us at ease instantly. We highly recommend her to everyone. We are already booked in for another week later in the year. 5 stars from us. Paul & Karen”
“Jake is a great lad who accommodates very well for your dogs individual needs. Great location for walks and really makes sure he is keeping in touch during the stay. Thanks again and would definitely recommend to others.”
“Yuen was absolutely amazing in taking care of Eddie and always sending lots of photos of him. I would strongly recommend her services if you’re looking to leave your dog with someone.”
“Barnie had an amazing stay!! Daily updates and pictures were really appreciated and he was clearly settled and was very well cared for. Will use and again and would definitely recommend 👌”
“Janire looked after our toy cavapoo Xena for three nights and we’re always worried about leaving her. However, Janire made Xena feel very comfortable and adapted to her needs perfectly. We received regular updates and would highly recommend Janire. She was fantastic all round.”
“Jessie was great with Nugget. They helped settle my mind by letting me see where Nugget would be staying before. During his stay, I got frequent photo updates, all of which were him looking very relaxed and chill.”
“Just come back from 7 days away we left our Frenchie poppy with Laura and Leandro and they have been amazing with her kept me updated with pictures and videos poppy normally takes a few days when left with a boarder but this time she was great eating straight away and took to them straight away highly recommended will be using yous again thank you so much again 😊”
“Ozzy had a superb time with Rachel. Superb communication from booking and regular updates and pics during his stay. No hesitation in using again and recommending to others.”
“Louise has had Millie for the third time and I can truly say Millie loves her time there. Louise sends me pictures of the walks they go on together and I feel really confident Millie is very well cared for. Thank you Louise. 🤗”

Lauren looked after our bedlington terrier for a week while we were on holiday. She was really reliable, confident, helpful and understanding (our pickup time was delayed by half a day by a problematic return journey). Kept in touch really well, lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Definitely a safe pair of hands and will be boarding our dog with Lauren again next time we go away. Thanks 🙏
Andrew looked after our 15 year old cocker spaniel Izzy so well. He took time to learn about her routine and habits in a meet and greet before we left Izzy with him. Unfortunately Izzy suffered with some separation anxiety overnight, but Andrew cared for her and did everything possible to try and alleviate this and comfort her. Andrew is friendly, professional and understanding, and accepting of how a dog may react in different circumstances. I would highly recommend him.
We left our 2 poodle cross dogs for the first time with Aviral and Gayatri for 12 days in July. We were updated on a daily basis usually with photos and sometimes videos. It was very reassuring to see that our dogs were clearly happy there whilst we were away. The best sign was when we picked them up, they were happy and had clearly had a good time. I highly recommend this lovely couple and we will definitely be asking them to look after our doggies again in the near future. Thank you Aviral and Gayatri 😊
Excellent care was provided to Tia. Deborah looked after Tia extremely well - Tia was very happy and settled with her. Deborah communicated well with us and provided videos and photos. I think Tia would have been happy to move in with Deborah permanently 😌. Would recommend as Excellent.
Jessica looked after Kiki for the last couple of nights and I couldn't be happier. She had an absolute blast, and it's obvious she'd been really well looked after. She came home happy, relaxed and in great condition. Communication was great throughout, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I'd happily leave Kiki with Jessica again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable. Thanks so much!
One word : WOW! We travelled from Cumbria to Rebecca to look after our dog Ronnie and we absolutely will travel to Rebecca again in the future! Ronnie absolutely had the time of his life with Rebecca and she was amazing! She kept in contact sending lots of updates and Ronnie literally had the best time! So much so he was grumpy with us for the entire day when we got him home! Thank you so much Rebecca! Xx
Great communication from Caitlin and Max. A very friendly couple that were very natural around our dog, Rolo. They were inquisitive about his care and needs and left us feeling like Rolo would be in good care. Upon return Rolo was very happy and just his usual self which is the best you can ask for.
My 2 dogs had a wonderful time with Benjamin! They came home with bright eyes and very waggy tails which is always a give away. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dogs again with Benjamin. Loved the photos he sent us too as they were snuggled up on his lap. Thanks again, they will definitely be back to see you
Jake was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Before the booking, he invited us to visit with our dog, Link, so he could get used to the environment, which really put our minds at ease. On our wedding day, Jake kept us updated with regular photos and messages, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our special day knowing Link was happy, settled and in such safe hands. It was clear how much care and attention Jake gave him, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend Jake to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and professional dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Link!
Sarah is absolutely lovely and great with dogs. She really understands what best for them and their needs. The communication was great with plenty of pics and videos, I didn't worry once if Sunnie was having a good time or not, I knew she was in good hands. Will definitely use Sarah again, Sunnie had an amazing time :) x
Blue has really enjoyed staying with Sarah over the 3 times he’s visited. He gets excited when he realises where he is going and is full of smiles on arrival. We get regular pupdates and some gorgeous photos, and everything is very clearly and easily communicated. Complete peace of mind when he is staying with Sarah. Couldn’t rate her care more highly.
Connie is absolutely lovely and very helpful with the whole process. She made sure there wouldn't be any issues with both our dogs. Marnie is such a sweet dog. We received plenty of communication to ease our minds as well as lots of photos to show how well Sunnie was settling in. I can tell she had an amazing time and would be happy to have her stay again x
Jessica Thank you for taking such good care of Arlo, he skipped into your house when dropped off and he was so well looked after with lovely walks and cuddles. Will definitely use you again and would not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family. Best regards Kevin & Family

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
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.
