About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m currently a proud owner of three cats, aged 10, 8 and 8. Before them, I had five other cats, and I also shared 14 wonderful years with my toy terrier. Earlier in my life, I had another cat for 10 years. Having cared for pets of different ages and personalities, I understand that every animal has its own needs and routines. Some love playing and attention, while others prefer a little peace and quiet. I’m patient, attentive and happy to adapt to each pet’s personality. I know how much pets mean to their families, and how important it is to feel confident that they’re in good hands when you’re away. I’m new to Rover, but certainly not new to looking after animals! I’ll treat your pets with the same love, kindness and care I give my own. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so looking after pets comes naturally to me. I have a flexible schedule and can arrange visits during the week and at weekends. I’m happy to help with regular feeding visits, dog walks, playtime or occasional care while you’re away. I understand how important it is for pets to keep their usual routines, so I’ll always do my best to work around their needs and your preferred times. As a lifelong pet owner, I know how important it is for animals to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed, especially when their family is away. When caring for pets in their own home, I always respect their familiar routines and follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food, a clean environment and plenty of attention, depending on their individual needs. I’m particularly patient with shy cats and older pets who may need a gentler approach. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect as my own. I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand and will keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

Yes. There are up to 1,600 pet sitters offering care in and around Perth . To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
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 occurred. 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.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. 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.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
