Shenghui was amazing at communicating and sharing daily videos/ pictures of my pet. They followed all my pet care instructions and Venus (my cat) had a great time in their care. Will be scheduling again!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾

Used Rachel again after she had Patch for the day and he had a great time. Rachel and her partner provide such great care for dogs in their care, they treat Patch like their own and they even took him for his swimming lesson. Rachel is such an enthusiastic person about dogs and couldn’t ask for a better service.

Zoe is an absolute gem! She took such incredible care of my two dogs, Benji and Molly, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was so thoughtful, sending regular updates and adorable pictures throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were having the best time, constantly out on walks and even becoming part of the family by getting along so well with hers. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your pets like their own!

About: Me and my partner, Myles, are lifelong dog lovers and the designated dog sitters for all of our family and friends, now looking to open our home up to more dogs. After losing our senior rescue chihuahua last year, our house feels very empty without the pitter patter of paws following us around! We have many years of experience with a vast array of breeds and ages and I have also previously volunteered at a doggy daycare centre. We really do just love dogs of all sizes, shapes, temperaments and age and we would love to take care of yours! Please send me a message for more info about me or if you have any questions. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and Myles works from home all week. We are free most evenings and weekends and available for long-term boarding We live in a semi detached house which your dog would have free roam of and a secure fenced off yard. We already have many dog beds and blankets for your dog to get comfy in, along with a few sofas and an armchair that they would be welcome to take a snooze on. Your dog will never be left alone in the house, we understand it may take time for some dogs to trust new people and we are experienced and knowledgeable on building up trust safely with new dogs. Your dog will never feel pressured by us, and in turn we hope this means you will trust us with your dogs too!

Daniel looked after my two dogs while we were abroad, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. He was amazing with both of them, especially my senior dog, making sure all of her medication was given correctly and that she was comfortable and well looked after. I received daily updates and lots of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind and made it so much easier being away from them. It was clear that my dogs were happy, relaxed, and treated with genuine care and affection. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be asking him to look after my dogs every time we go abroad from now on. Thank you so much! for looking after Lizzie and Bella 💖🐶

About: I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away having my own 6year old French Bulldog. I’ve always been around dogs since I was little and have had pets with previous partners. I’m the go to for my friends nd brothers dog when they go on holiday I have a secure garden and plenty of room for dogs to be kept separate and together. My own dog has had spinal surgery and medication so I’m quite capable of looking after their medication needs I run my own business so I work from home meaning I’m around to support your pet. Enough notice of booking means I can make sure I’m around through the duration of the stay. Dogs will need to be able to be left for 1-2 hours on their own so I can fit regular gym sessions in I have a fenced in garden Separate rooms for dogs to sleep separately at night I can also accommodate crate sleeping My own little frenchie girl will be around to keep your dog company. She’s good with other dogs and tends to do her own thing preferring fuss from humans. She’s shared house with lots of other dogs

Donna was a great cat sitter for our boy while we went and visited family over Christmas. She made sure he always had food, played with him, gave him fusses and made sure he had company. He was so relaxed when we came back and it makes all the difference knowing he was okay while we were gone. She did an initial visit and took down so many details to make sure he was well catered for. Thank you so much for taking care of him!

Beth and Rosie, you two are absolutely fantastic! From the start, I felt completely informed and reassured, with constant updates and loads of wonderful photos. It was clear that Rufus was having the time of his life and was in the best of hands. Not only did he have a blast, but he also made two amazing friends—both human and doggy! Thank you for going above and beyond to make me feel at ease, and for treating Rufus as if he were your own. I know he's counting down the days until he can see you again in just four weeks! 😊

Odeta was very patient with Benji and made him feel so at home. She was very organised, sent us plenty of photos and videos daily, and took Benji on regular walks to maintain his exercise. Benji looked to have a wonderful time, was very comfortable with her, and treated her like she was his owner. I am very happy with the service provided by Odeta and would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again to look after Benji in the future.

About: I was the main carer for my dog for 12 years, so I understand how much love, attention, and responsibility pets need to feel safe and happy. I have also looked after several dogs in my care without any problems, always making sure they feel comfortable, well looked after, and at home. I have the time and flexibility to give dogs the attention they deserve, including long walks, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them, and I always treat every pet with patience, affection, and kindness. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, which allows me to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I am happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine, including how often they go for walks and how long they are used to being out. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I will always do my best to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and at ease. In my home, pets have a safe and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and well cared for. I have a closed patio that gives them a bit more freedom and space, and I also live close to two parks, which is great for walks, exercise, and giving them some variety in their routine. I genuinely enjoy having pets around the house and making them feel welcome, calm, and loved. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I like to adapt as much as possible to their usual routine and environment. I know pets feel most comfortable when things stay familiar, so I always try to keep their walks, feeding, and general routine as close as possible to what they are used to. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and at ease.

My dog Maisie seemed very happy when she stayed with Liz - and I was tremendously reassured by Liz's experience and empathy with dogs. Liz's house is very dog friendly and has a lovely garden plus good walking options nearby. And Maisie loved the fuss and attention she received. I would definitely ask Liz to look after Maisie again and indeed have already made my next booking.

About: I have always absolutely loved animals, from growing up in a village with lots of small pets to my adult life which has been centred around my love for dogs. I have lots of hands on experience with a family dog over the last 10 years, but most importantly became a dog mum to my very own rescue dog in 2024. I have experience with rescue dogs who need a little extra love and care. My dog is lead reactive on walks which means I have experience with this too. I am currently a primary school teacher which means I am available only on weekends during term time. However during school holidays I am available all day everyday to give your dog all the care and attention they need. I have a secure garden with 6ft fencing all round, which in summer doors are open throughout the day to allow freedom to roam outside whenever they please. During school holiday and on weekends, everyday I take my dog to a public enclosed park and woods area, where he can enjoy safe off lead exploring for at least an hour. He then has a shorter evening walk on lead around the residential area. There is also time for endless playing around the house and garden.

About: As a couple we love to have dogs in our lives and routines 🐶🐾 Bruno grew up with dogs being part of the family and, from a young age, was used to looking after them. I didn’t have the chance to have a dog of my own until a few years ago, mainly because my living arrangements were not ideal for pets. Over two years ago, when we bought our home, we started looking after dogs for friends and neighbours. We really enjoyed it and soon realised how much we wanted to have our own furry companion. So, six months in, we welcomed our little Faye into our family. Even then we continued looking after other dogs. It has been a lovely way for Faye to socialise, while also giving us the chance to meet more four-legged friends and their owners in our local community. We’ve looked after dogs with a wide range of personalities — from excited young pups who need plenty of attention, play, guidance and boundaries, to older dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. We know that every dog is different, so we are committed to adapting to their usual routines and needs as much as we can. Most importantly, we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, safe, cared for and part of the family. I work from home and Bruno is currently home all day too, so your dog will not be left alone. As we also have our own dog, feeding, walks, playtime and cuddles are already a integral part of our day. We would start by introducing your dog to our home environment and giving them some time to feel comfortable and settled in. We’ll always keep their safety and wellbeing in mind and make sure they feel secure in their new environment. We understand that trusting your dog to someone can be difficult and feel like a big decision, especially for the first time. So we want to make sure we provide a calm, caring and safe environment for all dogs staying with us. To give you some peace of mind, we are happy to send updates 📸 as frequently as you’d like. We can agree on this together when making the booking. We only take dogs from one household at a time, to ensure they get all the care and attention they need, while also reducing the risk of dogs not getting along with each other, becoming anxious around unfamiliar dogs or having interactions forced upon them. As we are always home, your dog will never be left alone and will have plenty of company and attention. Because we have our own dog, Faye, we take introductions seriously. Faye is very friendly with all the dogs she comes into contact with, but we never expect two dogs to become best friends immediately. We allow them to meet calmly, give them time to get used to each other and always pay attention to their body language and comfort levels. We are also able to keep your dog and Faye separated within the house if they need some quiet or alone time. Our Home & Environment 🏠🌳 Our main living space is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area leading to a fully enclosed garden. Providing it’s not raining or extremely cold, we tend to keep the door to the garden open so dogs can access the garden whenever they like. We also have at least three different parks within walking distance of the house, and a couple of others within a 5–10 minute drive.

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
