“Rebecca looked after my cats at very short notice. She was amazing and my very shy cats responded brilliantly to her. Rebecca is a true ‘cat person’ and when we met for the first time , she was empathic and very organised. Thank you Rebecca, I would absolutely trust you to take care of my cats again!”
“Jo was amazing stepping in at the lat minute. She was lovely in person and took on all the information about my cats again. I received great updates after each visit and a lovely note left on my return. Thank you Jobfor the caring way in which you looked after my cats and left their feeding area clean - I really appreciate that.”
“This was my first time leaving my cat so I was quite anxious. There was no need as Vicky was AMAZING! From the first communication to meeting her Vicky was really easy going, relaxed and friendly. She provided twice daily feeds and cleared Inez’s litter as well as spending time with her. I had regular updates and photos and it seems like Inez has really taken a shine to Vicky. I would absolutely book Vicky again if I went away. ☺️”
“Sabrina is excellent. Attentive, punctual, thoughtful - and goes beyond the extra mile, for example, closing the windows we'd left open for the weekend, as well as ensuring our kittens were ok, keeping us informed. Will be booking Sabrina again in the near future.”
About: About me: My rescue Dutch Shepherd passed recently at 14 after 12 years together. He was my family but he had reactivity and towards the end needed a lot of care around illness and dementia. Raising and training him has given me so much love for dogs along with a good amount of experience around dog body language (his and other dogs), training and general situational awareness. I also learned so much about clear requests and firm boundaries while advocating for him. Because of that he was able to have so many human friends and dog besties despite the reactivity. And I've done lots of walks and sits for those doggy friends over the years. I'm not ready to have another dog or cat myself, but I'd love to care for other folks' furry family. Things to be aware of Boarding: I have an elderly cat, so to board at my home, your dog will need to be good with cats. Unless your dog currently lives with cats I'll ask for a meet and greet at my home so that they can meet and I can assess. House sitting: I will accept house sitting visits outside of my set area if it is for multiple nights. There's no effective way to set things up that way on this site so please get in touch. I also can do longer than a week house sits for folks that I have done sits for previously. I work from home part time- Monday to Wednesday with plenty of flexibility around those working days. I can set my hours on those days as needed. And my days off are completely mine to schedule. The owner is always the best resource for how to care for their pet. My first port of call will be to go through questions related to behaviour and care, to make sure that I can meet everything that's needed. Aside from that I'm confident walking dogs of any size. Even if you're happy for your dog to be off lead, I will keep them on lead for the first few walks until I'm confident that they will recall to me consistently. Im happy working with spicy kitties who need extra time to build trust. My home is spacious and has a walled garden. I still have bowls, fountains, scratching posts, toys and crates from my previous pets that I can bring out of storage as needed.
About: We're an active family who adore the company of dogs. We miss our beloved rescue English Foxhound who accompanied us on long walks and runs. We have over 15 years experience as dog owners and sitters for friends and family. Our adult daughter Eden who has studied Animal Management and Welfare. We also have experience of caring for older dogs who've required regular medication and a slower pace of life. We're used to all shapes and sizes, we had our lovely English Foxhound Willow for 8 years; she was 38kg, and we now regularly sit for a lovely small terrier. We've cared for dogs from 2kg to 68kg, from a Chihuahua to an Akbash and Rottweiler! Pets are family and your pet would be treated as one of our own whilst with us. We can board or provide day care Friday through Sunday. We have a reasonably sized enclosed garden with high fences. We have 6 rooms we'd make available for your pet to make themselves at home in. We also live on the doorstep of Upton Country Park for lots of walks and runs on the lead. We're also happy to do meet and greets so you can pop and see us ahead of your pet staying
“Thank you so much to Courtney for checking in on my two girls (cats) while I was celebrating my nephew’s 10th wedding anniversary in Rhodes. The cats seem very happy and healthy on my return. Thanks again for everything and putting my mind at rest that they were being looked after (even if you didn’t see much of them!)”

“Top class from the start with thorough preparation and excellent service while we were away. My boys were fed & fussed well. The photos sent really helped with the anxiety of leaving them behind. Definitely book Forunata again and recommend to others 💫”
About: Hey, I’ve owned pets all my life, grew up with dogs and have owned my own dogs for 5 years from a puppy. I recently rescued a young dog called Nemo, who has issues with her mobility due to a club foot. I’d love to run a doggy day care full time in the future so I’m taking the first steps towards that goal opening my home out to others. I work from home so I’m available to look after dogs throughout the day, my job involves occasional travel but I will know about this in advance, should it be a problem. I am a single mum, with a young boy called Rory. I share custody of him with his Dad so my availability varies depending on where he is. He loves dogs, and is great with them, however a toddler, my two dogs and any additional would be a bit much for me! My dogs Archer and Nemo are friendly, they absolutely love the company of other dogs and they’re always been happy to share their home when we have looked after relatives animals before. Depending on times of drop off/pick up I’m happy to take the dogs on walks along with their normal daily walks, they would love it! I currently work from home, with a small amount of travel required, which I know about in advance and can arrange pet care around this. We have an enclosed garden, stone fences all around. There is a separate dog room, to ensure maximum safety (nothing gets left lying around in there!) I work from home, so, I am on hand to let them out to play/use the toilet, and play with them as well.
“I would really recommend Briony, she was absolutely amazing with our Kitten Sooty. She sent me daily updates with photos which really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my holiday without worry. I could tell from the updates that my cat was very comfortable with her. She is a lovely person and I will definitely book again in the future. X ”
About: Growing up I’ve always been around dogs, from little chihuahua‘s to Great Danes. I frequently dog sit my grandparents yorkie when they go away, and shes old and a little reactive. I can confidently say I can care for any size dog, however if your pup is on the larger side and has reactivity issues Im not the sitter for you as I don’t have the experience or knowledge to safely care for your pup. That’s not to say big dogs are a complete no! As long as they’re friendly I’ll be happy to meet a few fur friend of any size I currently work Friday mornings part time, so plenty of time for your pets needs. Im flexible with how long I can spend with your pet, wether they need to be with me 24/7 (there is an option for them to be able to come to work with me, however it involves a lot of car travel. Please feel free to ask more about this!) or just need some company for an hour whilst your busy I currently have one cat, and shes very low maintenance. I get most of my experience from pet sitting for family members or volunteer work at shelters. I currently am able to pet sit in your own home and drop-ins for any animal, as well as solo walks for dogs (group walks can be discussed if the dogs know each other well or live together!) Your pet will be played with and loved, and above all, cared for
“Shernai was great for Freddie. It was our first time using this app, so concerns and overprotective thoughts regarding Freddie were always on our mind. However Shernai dealt with all of them in the nicest way possible, making sure to send us updates regarding Freddie and his wellbeing, he loved her! She gave him the nicest cuddles. It was a spot on choice to select Shernai to take care of him, will definitely contact her in the future !”

I’m so glad I found Jo! She was able to come at such short notice and was absolutely lovely with Arwen and Tauriel. She was so kind and caring, and I really appreciated getting photos and updates after every visit. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book her again! ❤️
Sabrina is absolutely fantastic, I’ve never left my Stanley with anyone before and was very very nervous. From her meet and greet I was relaxed from then on. I got pictures and an update on the day which reassured me greatly. She was kind and caring and loving to Stanley and would highly recommend her to anyone else. Thankyou Sabrina from your new friend Stanley and Rachel xx
So pleased with Rebecca and her kindness in looking after our two cats.The attention and love she gave to our boys was just amazing. ❤️ Thank you so much for taking such great care of them and for keeping us updated while we were away. Tsipukas sends his apologies for being a naughty boy!😂🐾
Danielle cared for our indoor cat with daily visits, and we had a very positive experince. She visited our home beforehand, meeting us and starting to build a relationship with our cat. She was fantastic at keeping us updated with daily pictures whilst we were away which we really appreciated. She consistently arrived on time and stayed the full length of time requested. All communication was friendly and professional. We would definitely use Danielle again.
We cannot recommend Jagoda enough, she was absolutely brilliant with our cat from start to finish. She provided regular updates every day with photos, which allowed us to enjoy our holiday without worry. She is very knowledgeable about what she does and clearly loves animals and this was reflected in every visit. She was attentive to my cats different needs and really bonded with her and got to know her personality. Jagoda also took in parcels for us which was a huge help. We had some last minute plan changes before and during the booking and she was so understanding, flexible and went above and beyond to help us out. She truly is amazing and we feel lucky to have found her. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and genuinely lovely cat sitter. We will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much x
Leon and Natasha were absolutely fab! For a very fussy owner and a very nervous cat they made sure my princess was comfortable and loved for the 2 weeks away. My girl warmed up to them both amazingly and gave her sapce when needed and lots of playtime. They were great with times and keeping us updated. I highly recommend them and will be sure to use them again when possible. Thank you again.
Arabella is amazing! Veey happy with her service, it was the first time I booked her and O totally recommend her. Communication was fantastic and treated my cats amazingly well, my cats liked her. Always on time and followed my instructions. This is my first time using Roger and I could not be happier with this app, I will definitely keep using it and booking Arabella
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! I was away on holiday for 10 days, and she took amazing care of my two cats, Grey and Tara. She kept me updated every single day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I came home to two relaxed, content cats and everything was just as I had left it. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Grey and Tara – I will definitely be booking you again in the future!
Oh, where to start… From the moment we met Adrienne and her husband, we felt they were the right people to look after our two cats. We booked home visits, and I can’t explain how happy we are. We received daily updates with pictures, and they played with the boys on every visit. I could tell the boys liked them very much (we all know animals can sense a good person!). This meant we could enjoy our holiday with complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible and trustworthy, Adrienne is the one! We feel so lucky and pleased to have met Adrienne and her husband. We know that in the future, when we are away, our boys will be happy and very well looked after.
Lisa has looked after our dog Margot on several occasions - dropping in to see her when we have been out for long periods. This has sometimes been at short notice, which has been much appreciated. Lisa gives great updates, lots of notes and pictures and communication is always quick and easy. Margot loves Lisa and always has a great time. Would highly recommend Lisa to anyone!

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 Northampton 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.

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 Northampton 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.

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.
