About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, horses and donkeys. I have two terriers and a ragdoll cat of my own. I'm also a Registered Veterinary Nurse of 11 years, so have worked with a variety of animals. Currently I am between veterinary nursing jobs, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furbabies and give them all the attention they need. I am interviewing for new jobs so availability may change but will still give you furbabies all the attention during their stay or my visits. I have an enclosed patio garden or a shared garden which is fenced but not 100% dog proof but they will never be out there unsupervised, can take them out on a lead as well. I can put them in a crate if that's where they feel safest and would be preferred for nighttime or if I need to pop out due to my cat. This also means if your dog or dogs are coming to stay with me they would need to be good with cats.I have pet remedy plugged in to help with a calm environment. I am more than happy to send pictures or videos during their stay so you can see how they are getting on.
About: We have cared for dogs since we were young. We walked and cared for family pets and have helped with friend's dogs while they are on holiday. Being able to sit in your own home and provide day sits, walks or check ins. I adore animals and so do my family. My 17 and 19 year old sons also love helping me. We are active and love walks so your dog or other pets will be in good company. I have a fenced garden when caring for dogs in my own home and while caring for others pets at their home I am a member of the PVG scheme and have house sat before so have good references.
“Absolutely wonderful cat sitter! Violet looked after Leo for the weekend, he was happy and relaxed on our return, which says everything. Violet is professional, reliable, caring and trustworthy; we felt completely confident leaving Leo. Great photos and updates whilst we were away, would highly recommended.”
“Annie was absolutely amazing with both me, and the cats. She really made me relax sending pics and updates. She made herself at home in my home and the cats were unbelievably settled because she was relaxed. Annie had plenty of questions when she came to meet maisie and mog to make sure they were kept to the routine that they like, and that she provided everything that they might need. I was unsure my younger cat would take to a stranger but I got videos of him up for snuggles and purring. I would highly recommend Annie. My house was spotless when I came back, and I'm still not sure if my cats even noticed I was gone 😅”

I am excited to expand my animal care background, with any animal, of any size, and any age. I am flexible and available during the week and on weekends and will always make time to look after your fur babies, after all this is more of a hobby than a job. I will provide an exceptional level of care for all the animals in my trust, and will provide any service and activity required by the pet parents.

Recently used Sandra to do drop-in visits for my cat while I was away on holiday. First time using someone from an app, so was a bit apprehensive about it. I needn’t have worried! She was great, even with my cat Dexter , who isn’t the best with new people in the house. Got daily updates and photos from Sandra, to let me know how things were going. Very reassuring. She also took the time to give Dexter brushes and pets. I came home to a happy cat. Would recommend.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
