“Mel & Sam are both lovely people and felt completely at ease leaving my cats in their care. They were very thorough during the induction and are obviously very fond of animals watching their interaction when meeting mine for the first time. They’re very flexible and went above and beyond my expectations in caring for my cats. Updates were regular with photos included. Won’t hesitate to seek their services again.”
About: I am very kind and caring person. I grew up with a lot of nature and animals around. My mom and dad had a farm with cows, domestic birds, cats and dogs. I originally wanted to have a dog but did not want the dog to stay indoors while I’m at work all day so I ended up with 2 little kittens and I took in another 2 adult cats that needed home. I live on my own and I don’t have children so a lot of my energy goes into my cats. They are like my children sadly 😅 🥰 I have looked after my friends’ and my relatives’ dogs and cats. I would recognise if and when animal is anxious and would treat it with care and patience. I would not mind to take your dog for a walk or to make visits. It would be nice to meet new personalities and give them a little fuss 🥰🥰🥰 I work full time but I am very active and like to go for long walks outside my work hours during evenings or weekends. I love outdoors but I also like to chill out with my cats peacefully. I can only do dog walks or home visits for dogs or cats since I have cats and they would not get along with a dog or other cats unless introduced slowly. First of all, I would need to know if there are any specific details I need to know about your pet’s routine, diet, sleeping pattern or his/hers character 🥰
“This is 2nd time booking Leanne from the beginning my cats have loved her they are rescue cats and still don't trust everyone but with Leanne they have came out of hiding played games sat for photos and been well looked after it's great knowing they are so well looked after”

“Lauren is fantastic! From the moment she visited us for the meet and greet we knew she was going to be perfect for looking after our cat Monty. Monty took to her straight away and during her drop ins, Lauren gave him so much love and attention, as well as updating us with photo's, videos and messages to let us know he was ok. We highly recommend Lauren and wouldn't look anywhere else for cat care.”
“Ezra seemed so happy with Kate! She sent some lovely photos and he was very settled with her, which is really great as he can sometimes be a bit nervous with new people. I’ve already booked her in again! Thanks!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, I currently have a German Shepherd at my family home, who I miss very much. I studied canine training at university and absolutely love everything to do with dogs. I am a professional rugby player and want to dedicate my free time to caring for dogs :) I am currently a professional rugby player for Great Britain and I’ve always grown up around dogs. Whilst my job takes me to various places around the world, it also leaves me with lots of free time when I am not in training camp or competing and I’m looking to spend that time making a dogs day great. Caring for A Dog is something I really enjoy doing As I love dogs so much, they have a special place in my heart and they bring me so much joy. Their comfort and happiness is my main priority, and I do everything I can to make sure they are well looked after (pampered)

I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, tailoring every walk, visit, or home stay to their personality and energy. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, reliability, and attention to detail. I ensure pets are safe, happy, and comfortable while keeping routines consistent.

My schedule is flexible to fit your routine and theirs. I provide safe, loving, and tailored care for all pets. Before visits, I check in to understand your preferences, routines, and whether dogs should be on lead at all times. Pets enjoy regular bathroom breaks, fresh water, playtime, and companionship, whether at home or on walks. I adjust activities to each pet’s personality and energy, and provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friends are happy, safe, and cared for.
“My partner and I had never left our cat with anyone before and so we were super nervous to go on holiday, but Sarah was amazing at easing our minds. She sent us lots of updates to let us know how our cat was doing and made sure to play and engage with him when we were away.”
“Cloe was absolutely superb. She was good with the dogs and visited first to introduce herself to them. I had only booked the 2 dogs as I thought the big one might be too much of a hand full, but she bonded with him straight away. I’ll definitely be using her services again and it’s reassuring to know I can leave all 3. Couldn’t be happier with Cloe and especially as it was at such short notice.”
“This is the second time Emily has looked after our cat, we are always really happy with her visits and Maggie the cat likes her a lot. She is always reliable. Love her messages and photos keeping us up to date! I highly recommend Emily.”

“Excellent service from Courtney who did drop in visits to look after my elderly cat Tango in our home while I was away on a trip, he seem comfortable and relaxed around her, and I came back to a happy and content boy with no issues so it’s clear he has been very well taken care of, which ease my worries ☺️ I received daily updates with photos of Tango on every visit plus she kept my home nice and clean as well. This was my 2nd booking with Courtney since June when I joined Rover and I’ll be booking with her again. Great communication, also the booking was easy, smooth and stress-free. Thank you so much ⭐”

Alice has done another brilliant job looking after our cat Archie. She spent so much time with him and provided daily updates including photos and videos which we loved. Archie is taking medication and Alice followed the instructions perfectly. Thanks again Alice! Archie will miss you
Lauren was fantastic. Our older cat is very shy with most people but was very comfortable with Lauren. Always arrived on time, if not early, and left everything very clean and tidy for when we got back. Great communication as well. I would definitely book her again

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.
