About: I've worked with animals in a variety of settings, including hospitals, kennels, rescues and zoological collections, and I hold qualifications in Animal Care, Animal Management and Animal Welfare. Over the years I've cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I focus on providing safe, reliable and enriching care tailored to the individual dog. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you're away, or a little extra patience and understanding, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before any booking so that you and your dog can get to know me and feel comfortable. I'm currently full time working as a dog walker and sitter, so I'm ready to work with you! Just drop me a message. I believe every pet deserves care that is safe, calm and tailored to their individual needs. Before any booking, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet so I can learn about your pet's routine, personality, likes, dislikes and any specific requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow your instructions carefully for feeding, medication (where appropriate), exercise, enrichment and any household preferences. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping safety and wellbeing as my priority. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. With my background in Animal Care and Animal Welfare, I understand the importance of recognising stress signals, maintaining a safe environment and providing positive, compassionate care for every animal.

About: Most of my pet care experience stems from having a rescue dog for 14 years, as well as looking after the pets of family friends. I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs. I am very adaptable to the pets needs and experienced in giving pets medication, if required! Since I am a full time student at the UEA, my schedule is very flexible. I live with my parents and my father works from home, meaning even if I am at university, you're pet will not be left home alone. My father has always owned dogs so you're pet would be left in good hands the times I need to be at university! Since I had a rescue dog, looking after him was in a way, a little challenging. I learnt to look after him by always prioritising his safety, health and comfort. This is why I can ensure to look after your pet with as much care as I have looked after mine!

About: I grew up always having dogs in our home, learning to care for them and love them. Now I also have experience walking and checking in on dogs here in Norwich! I currently have quite a lot of free time, as I'm not working full time, and so I'm very flexible with arranging visits or walks! This is why the meetings firsthand are such a good way to learn about the expectations regarding clients' homes and safety. And of course reading up on Rover's safety guidelines!

About: Hello! I’m Imogen, a loving, attentive, and organised pet sitter with experience in both paid and voluntary roles. Over the past decade, I’ve cared for pets of all life stages, sizes, temperaments, and breeds, including those with specific medical needs such as deafness, epilepsy, and limb differences. I always treat every animal as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens, working with rescues, and supporting pets with particular routines, training needs, or individual sensitivities. I believe in creating a calm, comforting environment that respects each animal’s boundaries while giving them the affection and attention they enjoy. If your pet thrives on cuddles and play, I’ll be right there with them. If they prefer space and independence, I’ll ensure they feel safe and respected. I've also taught Puppy Yoga classes in the past, so I’m no stranger to a room full of excitable pups! I’m pretty flexible with my time and happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine. Just get in touch, and we can figure out a schedule that works best for you and your pet! I always prioritise safety and will follow any specific routines or rules you have in place. If your dog is crate-trained, I'm happy to accommodate that, but I'm equally comfortable having them sleep in the same room, or even the same bed, if that's what they're used to. My goal is to ensure they feel secure and relaxed while you're away. I'm also happy to provide regular updates, photos, or even live location tracking for walks on request. I usually work this out on a case-by-case basis with each owner. If you'd prefer to fully switch off and receive no updates at all, that's absolutely fine too. In most cases, I like to set up a private WhatsApp status, shared only with you (and a partner, if relevant). This is similar to an Instagram or Snapchat story. That way, you can tune in whenever you like to see what your pet and I am up to. I find this strikes the right balance for most people, offering peace of mind and unnecessary interruptions. I'll then upload all the photos and videos to Rover so you'll have a little Rover reel to enjoy at the end of the sit.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the care I put into making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. While I may not have years of experience, I make up for it with reliability, patience, and a strong attention to detail. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, and I’m fully committed to giving them the same level of care I would give my own pet. You can count on me to follow instructions closely, stay in touch, and treat your dog like part of the family. I currently work for Royal Mail as a postman so I finish work at 1pm latest. I also work in the area where I live so can frequently come back for short periods of time to see the dog and let them out and give them anything they need In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at home. I have a fenced garden for them to play freely in. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and any special instructions you provide. Whether it’s giving them one-on-one attention, playtime, or just a cozy spot to nap, I treat every dog with patience, love, and care—just like they’re my own.

About: Hi, I’m Dori and I’ve been caring for friends’ and neighbours’ dogs and cats for over 8 years. I love getting to see every animal’s personality, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and dependable, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or giving lots of snuggles, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to keep you updated with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m excited to meet and provide the same reliable, caring service that my friends and family have trusted me with for years! ☺️ I’m a Speech and Language Therapy student at UEA- I’m especially reliable for weekday afternoons, evenings for walks. If you require housesitting it’s worth checking in, but October-July I spend long days at uni. I’m a lot more flexible during uni breaks. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions from their owners!

About: I work a 9-5, but have a car and am happy to provide early morning and late afternoon/evening care, as well as being free on the weekends. I would provide excellent care to any pets I visited, making sure that any routines and comforts of theirs are provided for. I am aware that some pets are more sociable and cuddly, and others need their space, and I will be very respectful of their needs. Time management and organisation are key for me, so you wouldn’t need to worry about my time-keeping or forgetting to visit your pet. Our pets are part of our families, and I know how important it is that you trust the person they are being left with.

We had to book a sitter extremely last minute due to an emergency; Kerry quickly replied to our notice and met us the next day; she was very friendly and kind throughout the process. We had specific feeding schedules and checks that needed to be made, she did them perfectly and we felt completely at ease knowing moose was in good hands.

About: Hello to all! I've owned pets for more than 15 years. I communicate with pets better than human beings I guess 'Kukku' the Dachshund was with me for 11 years and we had to say goodbye on her 12th birthday. 'Rooney' is Kukku's brother and he still thrives to this day, happy and healthy. 'Whiskey' the Pug is the new addition to the family. He's 2 year old, energetic and naughty little dog boss in my home. I consider my pets my family, so my pet care goal is to always make them at home and look after them as my own with lots and lots of love. My availability will be updated in the calendar Please check it before making any bookings. I'm always happy to help so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Will be taking them for walk and love to play with them. I get to be around animals so much and they're my favourite ever!

About: My first dog was a rescue puppy who I trained myself. Since then I’ve become the go to pet sitter for all my friends and family, it’s a genuine pleasure. I currently work part-time, and I’m keen to spend this new found free time looking after animals. My availability means I can do walks everyday and sit most weekends and weekdays given enough notice❤️ I currently do not have any pets in the flat so your pet would be the only priority. The garden is walled and fenced off, with much green space. I am happy to crate or otherwise to meet your pet needs.

About: I’ve been caring for my dog beagle for over 7 years and truly love it. I’m also a mum, so being patient, attentive and responsible is just part of who I am. My dog recently had surgery, so I understand how important gentle care, routine and emotional support are. Because of that, I’m especially mindful of dogs who may be sensitive, recovering, older or simply need a calmer approach. I would genuinely love a walking companion for regular strolls. Every dog has their own personality and energy level, and I always adapt to make sure they feel safe and happy. You can expect reliability, clear communication and someone who will treat your dog like family. Currently I’m not working, which gives me flexibility during weekdays and some weekends. I’m available for regular walks, one-off bookings and consistent weekly schedules. I value routine and reliability. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication if needed and walking preferences. I’m attentive outdoors, avoid unsafe areas and never let dogs off lead without clear permission.

About: Been a dog lover for many years and I've been fortunate enough to have grown up with various different breeds and all different ages. I am a 27 year old finance broker in Norwich and my partner and I bought our first home last year. I often look after my sisters French bulldog and my parents Labrador and I really enjoy the extra company both out and about on walkies and just chilling at home having cuddles on the sofa. 
I signed up to borrow my doggy last year and have walked numerous dogs each week to see how different dogs behave and how well I can walk them. Always had great feedback from the owners and had regular returning dogs which was lovely to build a good relationship and bond with them. Myself and my boyfriend Hayden moved to Norwich about a year ago from living on the coast in Sheringham. We would love to to get our own dog but unfortunately we are unable to commit to having our own currently so we would love to look after your dog and give it all our love! 
I'm passionate about giving dogs the love, care and exercise they deserve. I also really enjoy walking and running so to bring a dog with me would make it so much more enjoyable for myself as well as it will give me some company. My walks vary between half hour/ 1 hour but can walk your dog for a long as they need or give them multiple walks depending on what they need. We have a decent sized end of terrace house with a big garden and we are very close to various big local parks so can take your dog for lots of fun and adventurous walks! Loving home with just myself and my partner Hayden who is also a dog lover and grown up with dogs all his life too, the house is always clean and tidy and I am also DBS checked. Happy to look after 2 dogs at once and I can also give them a little groom if needed. Dogs are allowed to sleep in the kitchen or the living room.

About: Hi! I’m a friendly, reliable and caring dog lover based in the NR3 area of Norwich. 🐾 I’m a proud owner of my retired rescue greyhound, Zac, and I regularly walk and look after dogs for family and friends. Over the years, this has given me plenty of hands-on experience with dogs with different personalities, energy levels and individual needs. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and being outdoors, whether that’s going for a nice walk, keeping them company at home or making sure they’re happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship and drop-in visits. I’m dependable, organised and approachable, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll always make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and care, and I’m more than happy to send updates and photos after walks or visits so you know how they’re getting on. I’d love to meet you and your dog and help give them the care, exercise and company they deserve! 🐶 I currently have a flexible schedule while I look for my next long-term role in my career. I wanted to use this time to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time outdoors and getting to know lots of lovely dogs! 🐾 Because my availability is flexible, I’m able to offer regular walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and can often be accommodating with different schedules. I’m happy to work around your routine and give your dog plenty of exercise, company and attention while you’re busy. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe, caring hands. I always take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine and individual needs, and I follow owners’ instructions carefully. During walks, I keep dogs secure and pay close attention to their surroundings and behaviour. At home, I make sure they have access to fresh water, are comfortable and receive plenty of attention and companionship. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos after visits or walks, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. 🐾

Emily came for a visit to meet Griff a week before she had to sit him and made a really great first impression. She was really comfortable with Griff who can be a bit jumpy when new people first arrive. Over the weekend Emily was great with keeping us up to date with summaries and photos, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use Emily again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Katie looked after my Scruff with love and care. When I came home he was excited to see me, but relaxed, which is brilliant as he does have separation issues. She popped round before the 'official' visit to meet him and he took to her immediately On the day they played, went for walks and I got lots of lovely photos It was brilliant to be able to go out for the day knowing my fluffball was in such good hands Suffice it to say we will be booking her again, and again, and again...!

Jodie has been extremely helpful with walking/drop ins for our dog. She is quick to respond to messages, is very reliable and communicates well. Our dog is quite anxious and has been a difficult customer but Jodie has been brilliant with her and very understanding. She has been flexible and adapted to meet our dogs needs whether it is playing with her in the garden or giving her cuddles on the sofa. Jodie provides detailed updates during her visit which is very reassuring, especially since this is our first time using Rover. I would definitely recommend Jodie and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
