Kenna is fantastic. She makes me feel so at ease leaving our 6 month old puppy. She keeps his routine and implements current training! Her communication is second to none and the pup dates are always an added bonus!

Thank you Emily for looking after Missy so well while we were away on holiday. Emily visited Missy twice a day to check on her with her food (1 tablet per day) water and litter box. Would definitely recommend Emily.

About: Hiya! I’m Madi, a 21 year old second year university student studying Biology 🪴, with a hope to pursue veterinary medicine! I provide friendly and reliable dog walking, home visits, and house sitting. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a quick pop-in for feeding and cuddles, or someone to stay overnight, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I have plenty of experience with pets of all ages and personalities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following your pets’ routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I offer tailored care for puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs, and I’m always happy to provide extra playtime, cuddles, or attention as needed. You can relax knowing your pets are getting the love and companionship they deserve. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I’ve grown up around animals and still spend time with pets every day. Caring for them fits easily into my weekly routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritise. I make time for regular walks, play, and companionship, and to fit in feeding schedules, toilet breaks, and special routines. Whether it’s a quick daily visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I will adjust my routine to make sure pets always get the attention and consistency they need. 🩷 In a pet owner’s home, I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to play, cuddles, and rest. I make sure their environment stays safe, clean, and comfortable, and I keep them company so they feel secure while their family is away. If I’m house sitting, I also take care of the home itself by keeping it tidy, watering plants, and ensuring everything is left just as you’d expect. My goal is always to provide loving, reliable care so pets stay happy in their familiar surroundings and owners have complete peace of mind.

Absolute Star - Cat did a phenomenal job with Louis, responding with great care and efficiency when Louis became unwell with a tummy upset during his time with her. She looked after him as if he was her own beloved and I cannot recommend her highly enough. There aren’t enough stars available to capture the full extent of our gratitude and now, happily, Louis is fully recovered and I think he can’t wait to see Cat again so he can thank her

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, I genuinely love dogs and prioritise their well-being. I care for their needs, ensuring they are happy and healthy. I have grown up with German Shepherds, I am used to walking, bathing and playing with them. My current dog is a beautiful miniature Australian Shepherd. I trained him with my father, he has a great temperament. Dogs are a gift, they spread joy and affection. I love interacting with my friends, families and strangers dogs. I hope to do it more through this app. I’m a teacher so during the holidays, I will have plenty of time to look after your furry friends! During school periods I will be able to look after your pups on weekends. I live in a pet friendly, brand-new apartment block. It has two-outdoor areas which are both grassy and secure for the dogs to enjoy. Less than a 10 minute walk away from Victoria Park and plenty of other green spaces just a short walk away. There are plenty of lovely walking spots to explore. The flat is spacious, filled with lots of natural light and plenty of areas for your dog to relax and play.

About: Growing up, I’ve had a multitude of dogs in my family, including my own dog Bella, who’s been part of our family since 2013. I recently moved away for university, and although I go home as often as I can to see her, it feels a bit empty without a furry friend nosing at me for treats. That’s why I thought pet sitting would be a great idea. I have previous experience, and my sister is also a sitter, so it runs in the family! I’m experienced with a wide range of animals, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your best friend with someone new, so I always send updates and photos, especially during the first visit, to help you feel at ease. I’m currently studying at university, but since my course doesn’t require me to be in most days, I’m home the majority of the time. That means I can give your pets my full, undivided attention. I prefer to pet sit in the owner's home, as I understand that meeting a new person can be stressful for pets, and staying in a familiar environment helps ease that stress. I follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and playtime, to keep things consistent and comfortable. I always treat your home with respect and make sure to clean up after myself, I’m even happy to vacuum and mop daily if requested. While you're away, my goal is to keep your pet happy, relaxed, and well cared for with plenty of love and attention.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have had my own since I was a young child, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I absolutely love being outdoors, whether that’s long countryside walks, exploring new places, or going for runs. Since my own dogs can’t always join me on runs, I’d love to have a furry companion to bring along for exercise and adventure! I have a car, so I’m happy to travel to nearby parks, beaches, trails, and countryside spots to give dogs plenty of stimulation and fresh air. I’m also very sociable and love a good coffee date, so if your dog enjoys being out and about, they’ll get lots of attention, interaction, and fun with me. I’m active, reliable, caring, and will always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I have a zero hour contract job so I am very flexible. Additionally, I love to go on walks as part of my daily routine so I would love a furry friend to join me. I also am a regular runner so a nice walk post run would be perfect for a cool down. I’m a big morning person as I like to make the most of my day so I have lots of time free to care for your pet. I have two dogs at home so if your dog would like some company they would have the best time. I work with children so I am very on it with health and safety and everything so I can ensure your dog will be safe at all times.

About: Hi! I’m a university student in Bath and a massive dog lover. I grew up with a boxer dog, Stanley, who sadly passed away a few months ago, and I really miss having a furry companion around. I’ve always been the person who ends up chatting to dogs wherever I go (my coworkers joke that if I disappear, I’m probably with a dog!), and I’m very comfortable walking, feeding and caring for them. I don’t have formal training, but I’m attentive and patient. I also have experience training my own dog and dog sitting for friends, so I understand how important it is to follow each dog’s routine and needs carefully. I’m friendly, reliable and love being outdoors- there genuinely isn’t a dog I don’t fall in love with! I’d love the opportunity to spend time with your pet and keep them company while you’re busy. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule during the day, which means I can adapt to your pet’s needs and times that suit you best. I will always prioritise your pet’s safety, comfort and routine. I will follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding times, walking routes and any specific needs your pet may have. In your home, I will treat the space with respect and keep things clean and secure, making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. On walks, I will stay attentive, keeping dogs on leads where needed and avoiding anything that could put them at risk. I will take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have 5 granddogs, 2 grandcats, 2 grandpigs, 2 goddogs and numerous canine and cat nephews and nieces (not blood of course, they are the furry kids of my friends). They’re family 😁 Usually only available between June and January as I live in Colombia January to May. However do feel free to ask, especially if the dates that you require are close to the limits. If I'm here I can adapt my schedule. I work remotely as a geeky historical writer, so can be pretty much anywhere and what can be better than doing that whilst making new furry friends. I treat them as family, except when the sharing of food is the question. I don’t share food, just like my English goddog, Percy, doesn’t share his bone. With regard to communication - the number listed is now obsolete - my new number is Colombian because I live in Colombia for six months each year - Unfortunately Rover does not have a Colombia option. So best to email me or communicate through Rover.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have a corgi back home who has taught me so much about patience, consistency, and the importance of daily exercise and mental stimulation. Being a corgi parent has given me firsthand experience with high-energy dogs who need structure, engagement, and lots of affection. Beyond my own dog, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, crate training, basic obedience reinforcement, and providing plenty of companionship. I’ve also handled medication administration and special instructions for pets who need a little extra attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and always communicative. I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they feel connected and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, just like my corgi does at home. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to giving your furry family member the same level of care. I'm currently studying a Masters in Clinical Psychology where I only have classes 2 times a week, which are on Mondays and Thursdays. I'm free to take your dog for a walk and care for it besides these 2 days. I'll be happy to do it on a weekly basis too. Respect for your home: I treat your space with care, keeping things clean and secure, and following your household rules. Maintain the pet’s routine: I stick closely to your instructions regarding feeding, walks, play, medications, and bedtime routines to keep your pet comfortable. Home security: I make sure doors and windows are locked, lights are adjusted as instructed, and your home looks lived-in while you’re away. Daily updates: I send photo/video updates each visit or day, including notes on eating, behavior, bathroom breaks, and anything unusual. Medication & special care: I am comfortable following detailed care plans, administering medications (if applicable), and monitoring pets with special needs. ❤️ My Approach Above all, I focus on building trust—with both you and your pet. I move at the animal’s pace, use positive reinforcement, and create a calm, safe environment where they can relax while you're away. Every pet is treated as if they were my own.

About: I've had a Westie since I was 7 years old - he is now 15! I've loved growing up with him, training him and walking him. Now, he prefers cuddles and a leisurely stroll! I have also spent plenty of time with other dogs, including my grandparents' labrador and cocker spaniel - both are very high-energy and, as someone who loves exercise, I've loved being able to run around and explore with them, especially around the beaches where I grew up (in Devon). I’m currently a student at the University of Bath, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends. I can work around your routine to provide regular or occasional walks. I also love exploring Bath, so I’d be happy to take your dog on enjoyable, stimulating walks in safe and interesting areas. I provide safe, reliable, and attentive dog walking tailored to each dog’s needs. I always ensure dogs are securely handled on leads unless instructed otherwise, and I take care to walk in safe, dog-friendly areas. I pay close attention to each dog’s behaviour, energy levels, and any specific requirements, including feeding, water, or medication if needed during our time together. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated for peace of mind.

Rowen looked after Basil while we were away for 2 nights. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Care deserved 5 stars. Communication deserved 5 stars. Cake deserved 5 stars! We are considering hiding up in the loft and booking Rowen to look after Basil again, just for more cake. 😁 Seriously though, we would 100% recommend.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received! Gianni took care of her for 3 weeks and did an amazing job. Our cat can be quite feisty with strangers, but he was so patient and managed to earn her trust. She has been happy and relaxed. I am always missing her when we are away, but Gianni was sending me loads of pictures ,of Willow everyday and helped me feeling lees sad. The house was left spotless, and our cat was in great condition when we returned. Truly reliable, caring, and professional. I can't recommend,Gianni, highly enough.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. 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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other North East Somerset pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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 North East Somerset 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.

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.
