About: For the past year and a half I have worked professionally as a driver and daycare assistant in a busy doggy day care, this is where I received my Dog First Aid qualification and most of my professional experience caring for dogs. My responsibilities were extensive including walking and playing with the dogs as well as driving them to and from their homes at the beginning and end of the day. I have grown up in a pet filled household ever since I was born, not only did my own household have dogs and cats but my family and friends did also which I would often care for, walk and feed. As soon as I was stable enough to care for an animal myself I adopted my wonderful dog Popcorn, that was 6 years ago now and I can safely say it was the best decision I ever made, I have since fostered kittens and cats as well as taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family. I have also adopted a beautiful kitten named Pumpkin and she has become an amazing little outdoor cat. I find nothing more fulfilling than making an animals day! I am completely available for any of your pet car needs as this is my full-time occupation. I studied photography so cute pictures of your pet pending! I have lots of experience with different types of dogs with different needs! My home is a very loving one and I have done my best to make it the safest, most comfortable place for any animal to be in, my friendly fur babies will keep your pets company and I have a fenced garden so your pup can go to the toilet whenever they like safely!
About: We are a family of 3 who love cats! I have always had cats and have even fostered up to 30 kittens at one time, in Alaska! I cat sat in Thailand for 9 gorgeous Siamese kitties, which was so fun! I also cat and dog sat for a family in Evedon when my son was a small baby. We have 1 family cat now who is a chunky all black girl named Koshka although Orion is desperate for a new kitten! I have experience with alot of different breeds and needs.
About: 6 years experience handling and training dogs in the Military, working with both search and protection dogs and many different breeds from Spaniels to German Shepards. Overall I have 10 years experience in animal care and welfare having previously spent 4 years working in a zoo as a big cat keeper. I have rehomed 2 former working dogs in a 11 year old Belgium malinois and a 3 year old Red Labrador. Dog first aid trained and hold a level 3 qualification in Canine care, behaviour and welfare. Can offer dog walking, drop in visits, dog sitting and training if required. I currently run my own dog training and dog walking business in Ancaster, Grantham so have availability throughout the day to be able to fit your dog into my daily or weekly routine. Happy to comply with both the needs of the owner and the dog at request. Available for drop on visits, walks and additional training or advice.
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)
“Sophie was great with Gus, really quick to respond to messages, and sent us photos on the day to keep us updated. Gus enjoyed doggy day care and will be going back soon to play with his friends.”
About: After losing our dog not too long ago, I feel like there’s a massive gap in our lives and I would love to look after your fur babies, in the way we looked after ours. We have a 6 year old and a 4 year old so they would need to be good with children. I am excited to have all kinds of different breeds in our home that may help us decide what dog we would have join our loving family in the future. We are surrounded by fields as we live in a small village, which has just as many dogs as people in, we ( myself and the dogs) will often bump into other dog walkers so the dog would also need to be sociable with other dogs and humans. I am currently working part time, with only two days a week working 8-5 and I don’t work weekends. We have some plans at weekends like most family’s do, but when booking your pets in I will make sure that the weekend is fully dedicated to your pet. I have an enclosed garden, and live on a close, quite some distance from any main roads. Your dog will be crated if needed. I will do my best to accommodate your needs the best I can, please just ask. There are no other pets currently living with us just two small children.
About: I regularly look after pets, usually smaller to medium sized dogs. I’m happy to look after any size. I’m 21 and have several years experience with looking after dogs and walking I’m at uni but can look after pets around that. I have plenty of free time to take care of your dogs. Your pet will be the priority I have a fenced large garden that dogs can play in. I’m used to looking after dogs as I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life
About: Me and my partner love having a dog or cat to take care of and give some love every now and then. I like to go on walks regularly and it’s nice to have the company whilst out and about. I will do my best to work around a schedule that works for you, so please get in touch so that we can discuss in more detail I am very happy to do any service that makes the owner and the pet most comfortable, whether that be at my house or their’s.
About: I have looked after dogs from puppy's to 14 years old, from Spaniels to terriers. From house sitting on my own to training. From long walks around the river to short walks. Even though I have a job it's really the animals I want to be around at all times. My job is not full time so therefore I have time to spend with animals of all sizes. I care for animals by providing food and water, enrichment, playtime, toilet time, walks, chill time. To health checking visually from a distant. Animals know who are animal people the moment they see you.
About: I have been a military dog handler for the RAF for the past 7 years. And have experience dealing with dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule and I am able to accomodate last minute bookings when required. I can easily fit bookings into obscure times such as late evenings and weekends. I love to ensure that pets are happy and taken care of and feel safe in their own environment. I have a dog of my own who is quite difficult so I know the reassurance it gives me to have him looked after in his own house when I am away. And I want to make other pet owners feel the same so they can go on holidays or to work and not worry that their pet is unhappy or stressed. For clarity, my house sitting appointments cover short toilet walks. A longer walk will incur the normal charge on top. During house/dog sitting I will be at your house with your dog or cat for 90% of the time, with me occasionally popping out for refreshments and to run short errands or to check on my son.
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. Since graduating with an Hons degree in animal behaviour and welfare in 2021, I have been continuing to develop and share my skills within the animal industry, specifically for training and behaviour in Canines. My aim is to further use my skills and love for animals to care for beloved companions, for owners in need. Whether that be for the day; or longer-term care in their home while owners are away. I have a wide range of experience in handling, training and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and differing needs (medical or behavioural). Welcoming all owners and their companions to use my services. I previously worked 3+ years in a Uk canine rescue in there training and behaviour team. I am now going back to uni to further develop my skills through a master's degree in Clinical animal behaviour. My service availability extends across the week for pet sitting, with an understanding that companions being cared for, would need to be able to be left for a period of time during the days I'm at uni (Mon-Tue). Care provided would be based from the pets home. Keeping their home comforts around them while their owners are away. Day to day their routine would be based around their usual daily activities. I would be sure to include some enriching walks and activities to allow them to feel like they are having a holiday of their own.
About: Having previously worked as I dog sitter, I am extremely familiar with what is expected of me. I take pride in maintaining a relationship between myself and the owner, as well as the wonderful dogs. I know that all canines are different, and I treat each one as an individual. The importance of trust with a dog is something I practice with any dog, making each walk or visit that much more enjoyable. All my work revolves around animals, whether that be working on the farm with the cattle or whilst dog sitting. This means I have a tentative understanding for animal behaviour. I look forward to helping you out! I currently work full-time, living in a house. I am that dog mad that I would like to fill my weekends and free time up with them! I have a fully fenced garden, as well as areas for dog beds/ crates at the owners discretion. I love making a fuss of any dog I look after but equally happy to give them space if they are shy/ nervous.
About: I’ve taken care of all different breeds of dogs since I was a young child, I’ve always grown up with a family dog, usually 2 or 3. Our family dog had a litter of puppies 5 years ago and I helped raise them from birth. I love going on long walks but, also happy for short walks based in the dogs needs. I grew up with a British bulldog who would only walk around the block and refused to walk any further so I understand all dogs are different. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, but I work from home, so happy to dog sit and work from your house. I’m also available at weekends, early morning and evenings for walks and check ins. I will care for your dog based on their schedule and requirements, I will only give dog treats if you are happy for me to as I know some dogs have dietary requirements.
About: My experience working with dogs is extensive, having had them as pets for 20 years of my life. At my childhood home we have 3 dogs and 1 cat in the house- so an absolute a madhouse! I have been relied on to walk, feed and bathe the dogs under my care and have house sat multiple friends and family pets. I specialise in the care of small-medium size dogs as this is where my experience lies but I would be happy to look after larger dogs if you don't mind the occasional foray onto google. I have also looked after a dog with epilepsy so i have experience giving regular and emergency medication when necessary. I have looked after 4 litters of puppies and a litter of kittens, toilet training them and teaching basic skills such as sit, fetch and return. We even had to bottle feed one litter of puppies as the mother was not producing milk so I understand the full time care and responsibility that owners require to keep their pets safe and happy. I work 8-5 during the weekdays, two of which I work from home so I have some flexibility when it comes to my schedule. However, I am fully available on weekends unless stated otherwise on my calendar. In my home dogs will be treated like part of the family, given lots of love hugs and attention but still discipline when needed. I like to provide each with a safe space using soft furnishings or a crate if possible so they can retreate of needed. Usually I will crate dogs at night or if I leave the house, which is not often. They are fed and walked (for at least 30 minutes) twice a day, once in the morning and once at night with their regular food. Water is, of course, constantly available and the back door to the garden is open whenever possible. Though I should note that I let dogs out at least once every 2 hours so they can do their business and if a garden is not available then I would take the dog out on the lead outside. In regards to discipline, I usually prefer the carrot over the stick, rewarding dogs when they have done well with first treats and later just a clicker or toy. However if punishment is necessary I would only ever tap the dog on the nose and state a firm no, hitting is never required. For example, if the dog has urinated in the house, I would sharply tap them on the nose, state no, putting their nose in their urine and then simply place them where they need to be - usually outside or on a toilet training area (e.g. newspaper). In regards to safety while walking, I would either use a harness or collar and a non-extendable lead. A dog would not be left off a lead until I have walked with them at least 5 times and built a relationship with them to avoid the dog running off or back home. I usually go to a green area nearby when walking the dogs and like to let them run around wherever possible in the garden, often leaving the door open so they can run in and out. I do of course recognise that all owners have different methods for providing a home for their furry pet so I would defer to whatever rules are already in place with whomever I am hired by.
About: I've looked after a wide variety of dog breeds and temperaments throughout my life. This included my own personal pets but also neighbours, friends and family. I'm highly reliable and pride myself on my duty of care. I am retired and I am able to provide care during the weekdays with a range of flexibility to provide care during the weekends too. I have a fully fenced garden as well as a completely secure property. Ample space within the property and the garden for pets to enjoy.
“Jordan was great and super flexible, we had come to stay from London with our 4 dogs and needed an adhoc walker/sitter for when we went for days out. Jordan was amazing with updates and pictures and a super friendly person! Thank you so much Jordan for all of your help! ❤️”

Another amazing experience with Chris! This was the first time I didn’t feel anxiety about leaving my three for a holiday as I know that Chris looks after them like his own. My cats are all completely happy on our return. Everything has been left super tidy and Chris text me every day to let me know how they are - along with an excellent sense of humour! Would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone and he is always my first port of call.

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.
