About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including having pets of my own and working in a kennels for a year. This gave me hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, understanding their different personalities, routines and needs. I’m confident with feeding, walking, cleaning, providing enrichment, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet is an individual, and I always take the time to build trust and make them feel at ease. After losing my own pets, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with animals and providing the same love, attention and companionship to other people’s pets I work part-time and also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer pet care around my working hours. I’m available for lunchtime visits and walks, as well as after-work appointments, making it easier to fit around your pet’s routine. I understand how important consistency and companionship are for pets, and I’ll always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and affection while you’re away. I am available anytime during the weekends an my days off. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand that keeping their normal routine is important, so I take the time to follow their usual feeding, walking and care schedule. During visits, I’ll provide companionship, playtime, feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I’ll respect their individual personalities and give them space if they need it while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would give my own.

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.

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!
“Kayleigh was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and very cooperative throughout the whole process. Communication was excellent, and she made us feel completely at ease knowing our pet was in such good hands. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Kayleigh!”

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.
“Thankyou Zita for looking after Obi and walking him. The photos and messages were much appreciated and so reassuring seeing that he was in great hands whilst we were away. 🐕🦺❤️🐾”

“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!”


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.
“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.

“Volha was absolutely wonderful with our kitten Lucky. He was very happy and clearly very well looked after on our return. Volha kept us updated on how he was after every visit and sent us pictures from each visit also, which our kids loved to receive. Volha went above and beyond with cleaning up after our kitten knocked down a pot plant which we were very appreciative of. We would highly recommend Volha with your pet and we will certainly be using her again for our next holiday.”


About: Hi, I'm Toby — dogs have been the best part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, spent two years caring for other people's dogs around the Rushden area with my partner, and I've just made the biggest decision of my working life: I've walked away from a career managing big teams in busy warehouses because, hand on heart, I'd rather spend my days surrounded by dogs — giving them care, love and a proper home-from-home — than anything else. That's what Frisby's Dogs is. Not a kennel, not a cage in sight — just our home, opened up to your dog as one of our own. I keep numbers small and deliberately low so every dog gets real attention: proper walks (we're spoilt for green space around here), play, rest, and a comfy spot on the sofa. The heart of all this is Hera, our rescue from Romania. When she arrived, she spent three weeks hiding under the sofa, terrified of everything. Today she sleeps in our bed, is fully house-trained, happy off-lead, knows a stack of tricks, and is full of beans! Rehabilitating her taught me real patience and a feel for nervous, rescue, or just plain quirky dogs — so if yours is a little anxious or particular, they're in exactly the right hands. Hera's also a bit of a social magician: one of her best mates is a 60kg Rottweiler who won't play with any other dog on earth — but the second he sees Hera, he's zooming around like a puppy. It's mainly me looking after your dog day to day, with my partner Nadja — who loves the doggos every bit as much — working from home regularly and on hand to help. No kids, calm and settled, secure garden, brilliant walks on the doorstep. Your dog won't be "just another booking" here — they'll be part of the pack. Come join us! 🐾 Frisby's Dogs is my full-time focus now — so I'm not fitting your dog around a 9-to-5. I'm available and flexible throughout the day, which means a routine built around your dog rather than squeezed into my diary. Day care drop-off is usually 7–9am with collection 5–6pm, and walks are arranged flexibly to suit your dog. My partner works from home regularly too, so there's always someone about. Your dog is cared for in our home — a calm, adult-only house in Hampton with a fully enclosed, secure rear garden that's checked every day. No cages, no kennels: dogs have free roam of the ground floor and garden, with constant supervision and deliberately small numbers so nothing gets missed. Every dog meets me and Hera on a relaxed intro walk before any booking, so I know they'll be happy and safe in the group — and Hera's often the one who helps a nervous newcomer come out of their shell. It's a non-smoking home, there are no children, and I'm fully insured (public liability and care, custody & control). Vaccinations and flea/worm treatment are required for everyone's safety, and I keep a canine first-aid kit to hand. Whether your dog's a confident social butterfly or a shy rescue who needs patience, they're treated exactly like one of our own.

“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!”

Zita went above and beyond and took great care of my boy while I was on a long holiday. She followed all instructions and ensured that he was doing well in my absence, as well as giving him lots of attention and fuss. I also really appreciate that Zita kept me updated and sent me photos after each visit, which gave me great peace of mind. One can tell that she really loves animals, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

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

Giulia is a fantastic cat sitter and took such good care of my boy. She followed all instructions, was very reliable, and provided me with a thorough update while I was away. Communication throughout was also superb. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks a lot, Giulia!

Kayleigh was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and very cooperative throughout the whole process. Communication was excellent, and she made us feel completely at ease knowing our pet was in such good hands. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Kayleigh!

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!

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.
