“This was a last minute requirement and Zita stepped in. In person meeting is a great idea. She's looked after Roger beautifully with regular updates. Fantastic communication. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again when I have the need.”
“Eszter was so great to our pup, sent lots of photos and was always in contact. Would love to have her again and would recommend her to anyone in need of a dog-sitter 🤗”
“Lovely pictures and videos that really puts you at ease leaving your fur baby! Will definitely book Christina in future as her attention to detail and understanding of pups needs are top tier. Thanks so much!”
“Couldn't leave a better review imo. Jessica is an amazing person and we are so glad we asked her to look after our cats. Jessica is easy to talk too and proven to be trustworthy and I can't actually put it into words how much she made us feel at ease leaving our pets with her. She's so friendly and even the miserable bitey creature didn't mind her. Definitely our go to person if we need cat care again. Thanks so much Jessica 💓💓💓”
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.
“Sarah was so fantastic looking after our 3 cats! She arrived promptly for each visit and provided us with photos of our girls and lovely updates. They were all very happy when we arrived home and had clearly been well taken care of. Sarah also administer one of our cats daily medication well and kept her pain free. She always responded to messages very fast and went above and beyond. We will definitely be using Sarah again! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Hi, I’m Andriana, a first year medical student who's home for the holidays! I really love spending time with dogs and have some experience in taking care of them. I may not have a dog of my own, but my passion for caring for them is anything but second-hand. For over three years, I've been a regular, trusted carer for my cousin's dogs, looking after them across all stages of life — from energetic puppies and playful adults to more gentle senior dogs. This has given me a well-rounded understanding of how differently dogs need to be cared for depending on their age and personality. I’m looking for a lovely dog that I can take for walks and am able to dog sit at their house .I’m usually available on weekdays in the daytime and evening, at weekends and for holidays. I am a First year university student who is home for the holidays where I have all the time in the world, if I have no prior arrangements, I am available 24/7, any day of the week and any time. Unfortunately, my own cat doesn't get on with dogs so I will only be able to walk dogs and dog-sit at the owners home, where I will utilise the resources available to me as instructed.
“Nikki looked after Elvis for us while we were away for a weekend. She was quick to respond, sent photo updates, and made sure Elvis was well looked after and gave him lots of cuddles 🥰. Thank you Nikki! And Elvis also says thank you 😻”
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs since I was small, with variations in size and breed. I have experience with energetic young mixed-breed dogs as well as older dogs with special medical needs. Nothing is too much to provide the care, affection, and training our furry friends require! New to official formal sitting, hence the "1 year". I'm a researcher and a writer working from home in the middle of Peterborough, so I can easily fit let care into my weekly and daily routines. My time is my own to organise, so if a pet needs full attention and care I can give them that, or if they just need company I can bring my work to them! When caring for a pet, that let becomes my main priority! At the moment I'm keen to provide care in the pet owner's home, or indeed outside. Details depend on the pet caring circumstances, but I'll maintain high standards of safety by building trust and maintaining a relationship with the pet and the pet owner.
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.
“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”
“Great job Ernesta. I had a stress free holiday with twice daily reports and pictures. My old boy Charlie also had a good time. He looks very happy after his holiday with you because he too had a stress free experience. I will look forward to booking breaks in future knowing Charlie is in good hands. Thank you again Ernesta”
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!
“Heidi was absolutely brilliant. She’s the perfect fit for our little Bing! I could never recommend her enough, I couldn’t have hoped for anyone better to look after Bing and our house while we were away🖤🖤”
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!
About: I love animals but especially cats have been part of my life and grow up with them, I have time to spend with them and give them the care and love they deserve I work from home and I have a lot of spare time on my hands and I miss having a cat with me so I can care for I have a 3 bedroom house with a fenced garden, I work from home 5 days a week, my son is at school from 9-5

Jessica is a lovely, kind-hearted lady who took fantastic care of my cat. She did everything I asked and always left everything clean and tidy after her visits. Even though my cat is usually shy with strangers, by the end he was waiting to greet Jessica at the door! During the heatwave, Jessica also made sure the house stayed cool and let my cat have a little supervised time outside. I highly recommend her – we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind. Thank you!
Zita took excellent care of my cat while I was away. She not only made sure that he ate and drank enough but also gave him plenty of fuss and attention. The communication was fantastic as well, as she kept me updated with regular messages (and the sweetest photos!), which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future. Thank you so much, Zita!
Highly recommend! This was our second booking with Andrea, for our two week holiday. She is so lovely and was happy to come visit us and Figg before her first sitting - to make sure she was a good match. Figg ADORE’S her and settled in with her straight away. 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!
Irina was very helpful and cooperative and took good care of our furry boys while we were away. She was responsive to messages and easy to communicate with, and everything was handled as arranged. We appreciate her support and thank her for looking after them.
Sarah was so fantastic looking after our 3 cats! She arrived promptly for each visit and provided us with photos of our girls and lovely updates. They were all very happy when we arrived home and had clearly been well taken care of. Sarah also administer one of our cats daily medication well and kept her pain free. She always responded to messages very fast and went above and beyond. We will definitely be using Sarah again! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Erika was great, very professional and prompt. My pets warmed to her immediately, which is a very good sign. She was very respectful in my home too and I felt comfortable leaving her there. I will definitely be using Erika's services again and would recommend as a caring, reliable pet sitter!
Adriana Elena was absolutely amazing! She took fantastic care of my cats, Jogisha and Rocky, while we were away on holiday. When we returned, my fur babies looked happy and content! Adriana also went above and beyond by watering my flowers and plants on a very hot day. I couldn't imagine having a better cat sitter - she's truly top-notch! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

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.
