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: 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.

So thankful to have Kerry as a sitter for my cat Pip - she really is the best. Kerry goes above and beyond to make sure Pip’s happy and healthy. I always come home to a very well looked after cat and Pip still waits for her by the door even when I’m back! Kerry is an absolute pleasure to talk to and keeps me updated with pictures for peace of mind. Couldn’t recommend Kerry more, 1000/10. Thank you!

My dog Spike is quite nervous and needs a slow, careful introduction to new people. From the very start, Electra knew exactly how to approach him—with patience, calm energy, and experience. It was clear that she understands dogs deeply, especially those like Spike who need a little extra care. Electra has had many rescue dogs of her own, so she’s well aware of the unique challenges they can bring. That experience really showed in how quickly she built trust with Spike. They bonded beautifully, and I could see how happy he was to see her! She’s reliable, kind, and truly someone I feel completely safe leaving Spike with. When I came home, he looked calm, content, and very well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone like Electra!

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. 🐾

Cathy looked after my cat for a few days over Christmas. She is a reliable and conscientious sitter who obviously loves animals, going out of her way to make my cat happy, and me informed of my cat’s happiness. Highly recommend Cathy for all Norwich based, pet related roles and wouldn’t think twice to ask her to do the same in the future.

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: Own a dog, so have experience through basic training, walking, caring for them. I can house sit with them for the extra care they need, with toilet breaks. Walking to the amount of km/miles needed for exercise, for the youngest of dogs, I can train them to do basics of sit and lie down. I will be available dates away from working, I can negotiate dates at work if needed. If there’s any questions, feel free to get in touch. If you have any specific walks or food, I can go out to do that. I feel better to work with smaller dogs due to having a small dog myself. I have select days off, will be able to work around things if needed to be able to suit needs for your pets, I can book specific dates off if required. I will be there to care for your pets in regards to walks, toilet breaks, walking, feeding and more! If you have certain requests, I can adapt those to the service.

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.

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

Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available whilst you work. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

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 Norwich 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!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm.

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.
