“Last week, we entrusted our beloved Golden Retriever to Alex for a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided! As it was the first time we had left our dog with anyone other than family, we were a little nervous. However, Alex immediately put our minds at ease with her professionalism, kindness, and her very calm nature. From the start, Alex was incredibly responsive and attentive. She was keen to understand and adapt to our dog’s routine, which she did quickly, making sure he felt comfortable and at ease during her stay. What really stood out to us were the daily updates she sent each evening—pictures and little anecdotes showing how much fun he was having. It was such a relief to see him so happy and relaxed! We could tell that Alex truly loves dogs and is dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment. We’ll definitely be asking Alex to care for our dog again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you, Alex, for giving us peace of mind and treating our dog and home like they were your own!”
“Julie took wonderful care of my two spoiled dogs and looked after our home like it was her own, even surprising me with some beautiful tulips for our return. I certainly recommend her and hope Julie comes to watch over our dogs again soon. Truly professional.”
“I’ve never used a house sitter before and was nervous, but Cheryl was brilliant. Lots of communication & our dog absolutely loved her, would happily rebook again.”
“Vilte has been amazing at looking after Smoulder. She got along well with the other pets at home too and we couldn't be happier having picked her to look after our little family. She's been very professional and active in sending photos with updates, so I was always aware of how my pets are. At the end of the day, I came home to a happy puppy and kitty, so I know they were well looked after.”
“We can't thank jodie enough for looking after our pooch...jodie kept us updated with photos and videos which kept us at ease, and our house was left lovely and clean would definately recommend jodie and will be using her in the near future, thankyou for your excellent service 5 stars all the way x”
“Helen has been a huge hit with our dog …and us! She is obviously very experienced and coped with everything excellently. Helen was very respectful of our home on her stay for 5 days while we were abroad. She kept us up to date with lots of photos and kept the dog immensely entertained with walks, toys, new experiences and places! Have booked to use Helen again as we were so impressed.”
“We think Coco and Oona would happily have kept us on holiday for another week! 😂 Jessie looked after our two girls, Coco and Oona, for a week while we were away, and we genuinely couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and gave the girls plenty of exercise, attention and cuddles. It was obvious from every update how much she genuinely loves animals. We've used pet sitters before and, although they've all been great, we've often noticed our dogs start to miss us after a few days. This time was completely different. Coco and Oona looked so happy and relaxed throughout the week that we started joking they might not want us to come home! To top it all off, we came home to a house that was absolutely spotless—honestly, even tidier than when we left it. It's rare to find someone you trust completely with both your pets and your home, but we can honestly say we've found our forever pet sitter. Thank you so much, Jessie!! we'll definitely be booking you again (assuming Coco and Oona don't try to book you themselves first! )”
“Lydia was a brilliant sitter and Riley had a lovely day! Lydia was easy to communicate with and responded quickly, and kept me updated with lots of photos and updates throughout the day of what Riley was getting up to. Lydia clearly has experience looking after dogs and is a trustworthy sitter! I will be booking again :) Thank you so much!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets as young as I can remember, growing up with golden retrievers. Formally, I have looked after pets for the last 2 years ranging from cats and dogs to even little bunnies. I am a friendly organised and approachable individual who adores all kinds animals, and understands their unique and differing needs. I provide attentive care, lots of cuddles, playtime and long walks, to give owners peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I am also capable of handling medication for animals, as my own dog is currently ill, so I understand very clearly the requirements of animals who may need a little more help. I am working solely as a pet sitter currently, so have plenty of time in the week to look after your furry friend, whether that’s just a drop in to go for a walk or pet sit for a weekend, I am incredibly available and ready to work. I treat every pet with patience and care, they all have unique needs that I ensure I play close attention to. Being an organised and attentive individual, any special requirements you have I will be sure to follow through.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals over this past 7 years. My neighbours family and friends often rely on me to feed, wash and walk their pet. I have looked after puppies and kittens to older animals I have a lot of hours in the afternoon which I don’t have a lot to to do I would love to fill it with being outside walking a beautiful dog or spending time with animals. I have a safe back garden with full fences with plenty of room for your fur baby to run around. I live on a quiet estate and as I have dogs come and stay with me it’s a very pet friendly and safe house.
“Jasraj looked after our doggy Ivy and kept us updated at all times! Jasraj is super friendly, responsive and a great dog sitter. Ivy seemed to have the best time while we were away. Would definitely rebook again! Thank you 😊”
“Absolutely fabulous! Holly looked after Milo in our home for a week, and we simply cannot fault her. We received daily updates, the house was left exactly as she’d found it, and, above all else, Milo was happy and clearly very well cared for. Holly really is a lovely person, and you couldn’t ask for a better or more considerate pet sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“Alex was really quick at communicating during the booking process. Great at sending updates and pics. Sadie got loads of walks and playtime. When he left, she was all over him so it was clear to see she’d enjoyed her time with him!”
“Reegan is lovely, she followed all the instructions for looking after Tilly and we really felt Tilly was safe with Reegan. Would definitely recommend Reagan to others and will ask her to look after Tilly again.”
“Sonia was amazing with our little Oscar! Not only taking extreme good care of our old boy, but also sending us little videos with updates regularly! We know Oscar was very well looked after and loved the cuddles with Sonia! Thank you so much xx”
“Agnes looked after my English Bulldog Hugo for two nights and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she gave him! From the very beginning, she was fantastic to communicate with and asked lots of thoughtful questions, which really showed she had taken the time to understand Hugo’s needs and routine. While I was away, she sent plenty of lovely updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind and made it so much easier to relax knowing he was in such good hands. When I got home, the house was absolutely spotless too, which was a lovely bonus! I wouldn’t hesitate to book Agnes again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable and attentive to look after their pet!”

Ella was a total life savour! We were looking for last minute care for a very nervous miniature dachshund. He quickly calmed with Ella and ended up spending most of their time having cuddles! She sent pictures, keeping us up to date with how he was which kept our minds at ease. Couldn’t recommend her more ❤️
Vilte was really friendly and very conscientious about our dogs needs and was brilliant at staying in touch throughout the visit, as well as sending photos and videos. She left the house exactly as we left it and even went to the effort of stripping the bedsheet. Would be delighted to have her look after Willow again
Louise did a fantastic job taking care of our dog when we were on holiday for a week. She came over before the sit to meet Henry and chat about the sit. As time got closer she reached out to get information about Henry’s routine and was very thorough in making sure she understood my notes. She came over the day we left and we went over last minute details. We felt very safe knowing she was taking care of him. While we were away, she kept us updated with pictures and comments on the day they had. Henry really took to her and looked like he was having a great time! When we had gotten home, Louise had cleaned the house and left it better then when she arrived. Amazing job, we would love to have her back!
Charlotte was wonderful with our little cat Peach. She took the time to sit with her in her favourite spots in the sun and made sure to give her quality playtime over the 4 day period she spent at our home. We really appreciated the extra care and attention and will be rebooking without a doubt. :)
Anna was amazing! Our doggie Ivy is a super nervous and reactive dog and Anna managed Ivy to open up to her and show her soft side during the dog sit. Before booking started Anna came around twice to discuss any questions, learn about Ivy etc. Anna was super friendly, professional and sent loads of pictures while we were away. Hope Ivy has plenty more dog sits with Anna! Thank you 😊

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 North Hertfordshire 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 North Hertfordshire 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. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
