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: Hi, I’m Sarah, an experienced and dedicated pet and house sitter with over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes throughout my life, including showing Bullmastiffs and training dogs in both obedience and agility. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to large, powerful breeds, always using calm, consistent, and positive methods. Alongside dogs, I’ve had over 30 years of experience with horses, from Shetlands through to high-level competition horses, so I’m very comfortable managing more complex care routines and responsibilities. Professionally, I hold a BTEC National Qualification in Small Animal Care, with additional certifications in veterinary nursing and dog grooming. I also have hands-on experience working in a busy boarding kennels and cattery, where I managed day-to-day operations, including caring for multiple animals and overseeing a small breeding programme. At home, I currently care for two lovely Cocker Spaniels, a cat, and a horse—so I truly understand how important it is to leave your animals and home in safe, capable hands. I specialise in house sitting, allowing your pets to stay relaxed in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to maintaining your pets’ normal routines. You can expect regular updates, photos, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I fit in around other commitments. I structure my days around the animals in my care, just as I do with my own pets at home. This means regular feeding times, consistent exercise, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m used to managing multiple animals with different needs, so following routines and keeping everything running smoothly comes naturally to me. Because of my lifestyle and experience, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and attention, whether that’s longer walks, more frequent check-ins, or simply being present to keep pets company and settled. Caring for animals has been part of my everyday routine for over 40 years, so it’s second nature to me to prioritise their wellbeing, comfort, and happiness at all times. A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s normal routine, as I believe consistency is key to keeping animals happy and relaxed while you’re away. Mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a calm walk or turnout depending on your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs that need proper exercise and older pets who prefer a slower pace. Throughout the day, I provide companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as any specific care such as grooming, training reinforcement, or administering medication if required. Having worked with a wide range of animals, I’m confident reading behaviour and adjusting care to suit each individual. If you have multiple pets or more complex setups (including horses), I’m very comfortable managing different routines, feeding schedules, and environments. Evenings are kept calm and settled, with feeding, a final walk or check, and ensuring your pets are comfortable for the night. I will keep your home clean, tidy, and secure at all times, treating it with the same respect as my own. I’m also happy to carry out small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in post. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are being cared for with experience, patience, and genuine affection.
About: I’ve had two dogs and 4 cats in my life. The dogs were black labradors I had with my parents one at a time and walked and looked after from puppy to senior. The first two cats we got one at a time as adults, while living at my parents. The second two we got as kittens together and are currently 1 year old while living with my wife. I have also had gerbils, rabbits, fish, horse and chickens while living at my parents. I also used to walk my Granddad’s black Labrador and have had experience with my Uncle’s Jack Russell and Brother-in-law’s Dashhound. I wake up, feed the cats check their water and clean the litter tray all before breakfast and dropping my wife to work. I currently work with schools so the holidays are free. I feed the cats their tea the same time we have tea in the afternoon and currently go for a play in the garden when it's cool in the evenings. I would check on your cats, have a bit of a play and make sure they have food, water and a clean litter tray. For a dog walk I would like to know your regular routine and would be happy with any kind of terrain or weather.
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 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 :)

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 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
“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: 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: hello! i am based near Bourne and have just moved back from Sheffield where I was living after university. During my time at university, i felt lonely and homesick from all my animals back home so i downloaded Rover for some animal company and met the best furry friends ever! I have decided to keep the app whilst having moved from sheffield as I wish to continue my furry friend journey :) i do drive aswell which is a bonus! i work for BMW but have aspirations to become a primary school teacher one day and as much as I adore working with children, I love spending time with animals too! i work from 8:30am to 5:30pm everyday and have the weekends free which could be spent entertaining and looking after your furry child/children instead of scrolling through tiktok hehe i feel as the best person to trust with your pet would be someone who’s grown up on a mini farm around all sorts of animals. At my parent’s home i have 2 dogs, 5 cats and 4 sassy chickens (mine is called dora the eggsplora). I love walking the dogs at home through the countryside and changing the chicken run aswell as making sure all animals have food and water. these responsibilities never feel like chores!

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.

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.
