“Most definitely five stars and more, Louisa came to the rescue at very short notice to help with feeding a friends cat whilst she was in hospital. Louisa was amazingly helpful picking up cat food on route to meeting up and has been great at communicating after each visit. I would highly recommend Louisa and only wished we lived closer for her to help with our animals sitting needs too.”
About: Hi! We’re Leon and Natassha, a pet-loving couple with a passion for caring for animals. We know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and we’re committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment where your pets can feel happy and at home. 🐶🐱 We’re both currently on vacation in the UK for the next two months, so we have a very flexible schedule with no work commitments. This allows us to offer 24/7 care, including overnight stays and house sitting. We’re fully available to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day and night. We care for pets in their own homes as if they were our own, making sure they stay in a familiar, safe, and stress-free environment while receiving plenty of love, attention, and respect. We follow their usual routines closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so everything feels consistent and comforting for them. Natassha loves taking photos, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away.
“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!”
“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. ☺️”
“I highly recommend Zuza for cat care! She kept in regular contact and sent me photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My cats looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. You can really tell she loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. I would definitely trust her again!”
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 is also studying 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 54kg, 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
“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!”
“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: Hi, my name is Joshua and I have a great affection for all dogs that I have had the pleasure of meeting or owning. During my childhood, I had the pleasure of caring for a rottweiler, golden retriever, Shih Tzu, and pug whom I adored deeply. It was heartbreaking when I had to leave them behind when I moved to the UK. Over time I have gained vast experience in various dog-related services such as caring for pets, taking them on long or short walks, providing shelter, and to some degree, training as well. Additionally, I am proficient in administering medication to dogs of different ages and breeds. Do you have any particular requirements for your dogs? You need not hesitate to let me know. I am more than happy to welcome your pets onto my bed and couch but if you prefer otherwise, I respect your wishes. I guarantee that your pet's water bowl will always be full, and their overall health and happiness will be my top priority. I am currently working a part-time job, so I will have plenty of attention and time to give to your dog(s). I am available for boarding on weekdays and walks every day. Just let me know when you'd love me to meet your dog! I have a fenced yard in my apartment and also plenty of space in the house for your dog to play around but also just enough to keep an eye on, as your dog's safety is very important to me.
About: Growing up I’ve had numerous large breed dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters. Our house never lacked animals! Now, I’m a cat mum to my ginger boy and have 2 high energy large dogs in the family home that I often look after and walk. I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to help with your furry friends. When I return to work I will still be available around my work hours and over the weekends While i am unable to offer care in my home, i will ensure a calm and caring atmosphere is provided in your home, making sure your pet feels loved, respected and safe in my care
About: I have a devoted separate double room in my house where animals can feel safe before they are ready to join the household (see pictures). I know rover prices can seem pretty high sometimes, feel free to message me if you want to negotiate . I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, chickens, ducks, goats, horses, fish, reptiles, amphibians, parrots, birds of prey and some exotic animals. I personally own two dogs, one cat, and two snakes, and I occasionally foster rescued animals. I’m confident handling different routines and temperaments, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work a regular 9–5 schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care for pets before and after work. I’m available for morning and evening walks, feeding, medication, and general care, ensuring pets stick to their normal routines. I’m attentive and reliable, and I plan my day around the animals’ needs so they feel comfortable, settled, and well looked after at all times. My garden is fenced. I have large living room and dining room,plenty of space for dogs to play. When I care for pets they spend time with my family and my dog. They never feel lonley
“Ella looked after our cat over the Christmas period for a few days and I cannot fault her. She was very accommodating, very communicative and sent daily photos through - we knew our cat was in the best of hands. I could not recommend Ella's care more!”
“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: 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.
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

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.

Engin has been amazing with us. Our cat escaped some weeks before our holidays but we yet asked him to come just in case our cat came back. Unfortunately our cat is yet missing but Engin did a wonderful job checking every day and communicating what he was doing. 100% recommended!
Caitlin come to provide company for Albie as he has separation anxiety and struggled to be left alone for any length of time. Albie really seemed to enjoy the time spent with Caitlin, which helped him to relax in the house while I was out. Caitlin was so nice, very professional, reliable and super punctual. I would definitely recommend.

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!

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.
