About: I've owned a dog and also had experience with friend's dogs. I love to walk in nature, so would be able to walk your dog in pretty places, with lots of stimulation :) I currently work from home, so always have time for animals in my care. I am also available at short notice and also at weekends. I have a fenced garden and secure house, so your pet will be safe with me. I dont have a dog crate, so you will need to provide this if required.
About: I have always had dogs and cats. I’m always told they are drawn to me, especially when I used to volunteer at my previously local rescue centre walking dogs. The staff at the rescue centre trusted me with dogs of all sizes and all personalities as I could figure out how to interact with the dog’s personality quickly. I’ve looked after my aunties cats when she would go away for a week or so. I’m friendly and have a flexible schedule. I am also SRUC trained in principles of animal care with a number of certifications. I am currently working part-time meaning I am quite flexible and am happy and ready to take up any opportunities looking after and walking your pets. I will ensure your pet is safe, happy and healthy in my care. They’ll be taken on walks, taken outside regularly to do what they need to do, I’ll of course follow any instructions provided about their routines or needs. I’ll ensure they are fed at the correct times and in the correct way.
“Zita always looks after the girls really well and gives them plentt of love, fuss and interaction. They always look incredibly happy in the photos. I would recommend Zita to anyone who needs their pets looking after whilst they are away :)”

About: We are a flexible little family that can cater for all your pet’s needs. Having been surrounded by dogs as kids, my wife (Amy) and I are eager to look after other people’s pets and get our two children to help us where they can! If it’s a long walk (or run), a warm loving home with a grassy garden or a safe and secure place for your doggy to stay overnight then look no further. We’re more than happy to do one offs or build up a relationship with you and your furry friend. We know that all dogs are different and will listen to your requirements and cater accordingly. We know that going away can be stressful for dog owners and dogs so we’ll make sure your dog is given plenty of attention and is safe at all times; we’ll even send you updates of their little adventure! There are lots of parks and country walks around Peterborough that we often go to as a family, all we need now is a dog! We joined Rover as having our own dog didn’t fit with our work patterns and we love the variety it provides. Who wouldn’t love looking after a different dog every weekend! We work split shifts so will be able to look after your dog any week day or weekend as per our schedule on this app. Safe and secure house with a fenced off garden. No other pets in the house so your pooch will be able to roam free around the house!

About: I have experience caring for dogs since I was about 15 years old. I often helped my grandmother and close family friends with their dogs — walking them, feeding them and looking after them when they were busy or away. Through this experience I learned how to be patient, attentive and responsible with dogs of different personalities. I enjoy spending time with them, going on walks, playing and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I work night shifts from Sunday night until Wednesday morning. On the other days, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time for pet care. I am available for walks, visits, or overnight stays on most days, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable space for pets, whether at my home or theirs. I follow all instructions carefully and always supervise pets to keep them happy and secure. Owners get updates so they can relax while I care for their furry friends.

I swear she likes Andrea more than us already 😂 She sent plenty of photos and videos every single visit, so we felt very confident that Figg was happy and cared for. No complaints! Thanks Andrea!”

Very happy with Nikki visiting my cat. Nothing was too much trouble and the photos that came through looked like my cat was having a relaxed and playful time. She was eating and drinking well and I felt relaxed knowing she was in the comfort of her own home. Thank you Nikki we really appreciate your support with looking after our little princess

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 Peterborough 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
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.
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.
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.
