About: I love a dogs playful and kind nature. I’ve been around dogs all my life and strangers dogs always come up to me which must be a good sign! I adore cats, why I could have my own but my landlord doesn’t allow it! I work full time so I’m only available weekends for dog walks. I could do some week day evenings but I would need notice for this. I know safety around animals, I’ll always keep them on the lead unless you’ve told me otherwise and I’d keep them away from aggressive dogs etc

About: I Have done dog walking and day care and overnight boarding for 4 years. I have looked after an elderly dog for 2 weeks in our home, sending photos and following his schedule as requested and giving him a home away from home. I have regularly walked dogs locally having access to clients home whilst they are at work. I have a dog of my own a poodle border cross who keeps us on our toes. I am part of a dog and pet loving family and treat clients pets as my own whilst in my care. I have had geckos of my own plus I have cat experience. I am currently looking to increase my dog walking and visits as a part time job so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies ! I have flexibility. We have a fenced garden and our own small dog. I an focused on providing care, enrichment play and company to your dog or pet in your own home as well as walks.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets, my family members, friends and neighbours. I had my own big dog and so I know what it takes to take care of dogs. I am able to walk the dog frequently and for various lengths. I am happy to take care of dogs who might need some special treatment! I study mostly at home so I am able to be flexible with my hours. I already take about 4 walks a day so adding a furry buddy to it is no problem. I like walking in large fields which would provide the pet a lot of space to roam around. My dog lived with me in an apartment and then we moved to a house with a garden so that he can enjoy more of the earth and fresh air. I walk my dogs every 4 hours or more often if needed! I usually feed my dog once in the morning and once at night unless he has special dietary requirements when sick.

About: I have 4+ years of experience raising two of my own dogs from puppyhood (a large breed and a French Bulldog), as well as pet-sitting small dogs for my friends. I am completely comfortable with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and temperaments, always keeping them active, happy, and safe. I bring a calm, highly attentive, and reliable energy to dog sitting, and I am strict about following your exact walking and feeding routines. Please note that I am currently improving my English, so I might make mistakes in my speech or messages, but I believe the language of love for animals is universal, and I’m excellent at understanding their needs. I will care for your pup as my own and look forward to meeting you! Since I am currently not working, my schedule is completely open and flexible. This means I have no time constraints and am fully available to care for your dogs or cats any day of the week, at any time—including early mornings, weekends, and holidays. Because I don’t have to rush off to a job, your furry friend will receive my full, undivided attention, whether they need active daytime walks, regular feeding, or just some comforting companionship. I am easily able to adapt to your exact routine and be there for your pet whenever they need me. Trust and safety are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I strictly follow all your rules regarding food, treats, and leash instructions to maintain a safe and familiar environment for them. During walks, I am always alert, keeping a close eye on the surroundings and ensuring dogs are securely on their leash at all times. Since I don't have other pets or major distractions, your furry family member will be in a calm, stress-free, and fully supervised environment where their health and well-being come first.

About: I have grown up frequently helping a family member out with her animal rescue, looking after dogs of all different shapes and sizes, some with additional needs. I have experience walking strong and difficult dogs, and will be confident attending to your dog's every need! I have just graduated from uni and currently have a part time job, so am looking to fill lots of my free time looking after some pets! I currently don't have any pets of my own but I have a lot of love to give to whichever furry friends I meet. I can easily follow any instructions you leave for the care of your pet in your home, and also use my initiative in any unprecedented situations that may arise. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable and your house remains exactly as you left it :)

It really put my mind at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you so much for your time and the love you gave to Lexa.😍☺️

About: I recently returned to the UK from the United States and grew up in Denmark, where I was surrounded by animals from an early age. I was also an avid horse rider, which gave me valuable experience caring for and understanding animals of all sizes. I have worked as a full-time professional pet-sitter in the US and have rescued and rehabilitated cats, helping them regain their confidence and health through patient, compassionate care. As a parent who has raised three children, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust that your beloved pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I love walking in nature and enjoy getting to know the unique personality of every pet I care for. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a shy cat who needs a calm, gentle approach, I adapt my care to suit each animal’s individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, exercise, companionship, and personalized care. My goal is to give both you and your pets peace of mind, knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I have experience working with pets of all ages and have worked with senior pets needing extra care and attention. I’m currently available during the day time hours and I will accommodate your pet’s schedule. My hours are flexible in the day time hours. I will follow your instructions for pet sitting closely and make sure your pet feels very comfortable in my company. I will always be attentive and get a sense of what your pet needs to make sure all their needs are met at any given time.

About: I always had a soft spot a soft spot for pets. Used to sit for a few lovely cats and I'd always try to learn their behaviour and personalities to earn their trust before pushing myself into their space. I would always constantly have them in the back of my mind throughout the day and tend to their needs. I work 5 days a week but always home before 5pm everyday. Unfortunately, I won't be available during the day but I never have anything on during the evening from 5pm onwards. I live in a 1 bed flat without a garden. Indoor cats won't find this an issue. There are no loud noises during the day aside from the occasional faint footsteps from residents upstairs.

About: Since day dot, I have always been fascinated with the natural world and all the creatures in it. From a tiny flea to a humpback whale, each creature has its place in the ecosystem. I grew up watching my hero David Attenborough who to this day still educates me about everything wild and how we need to help save the Earth. Animals have always been my lifeblood, having vast amounts of pets over the years, to creating a mini ecosystem in my garden. Each animal I hold in high regard and love each and every one of them. I have worked for the last 20 years with disadvantaged children in social care and in schools but this wasn't always my passion. My passion has always been with animals. I have just started venturing into the world of dog boarding, having looked after my friends Chug for extended periods for approximately 3 years. I also home boarded my brother's 2 cockapoo's and golden retriever and I have since gained further experience home boarding a friend of a friends pair of Chugs. Each dog is treated as if they were family, I want to recreate a home from home experience for every dog in my care including daily walks,sleeping in my bed (if customers are happy for this to take place) brushing, playtime and lots of love and affection. In time i'm looking to gain qualifications in dog care/boarding and well as in dog training. I already have my own pets, and have had numerous small animals in my lifetime including budgies, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and my most favourite pet of all... rats. I currently have 12 pet rats who are super affectionate, highly intelligent and just all round beautiful! I've owned rats for 19 years and I don't think i'll ever not own them. I also have 3 cats. The first Sula is our more timid cat. The 2nd cat Flopsy had 4 kittens during covid (due to neutering being unavailable) which was a beautiful experience to support during the birth and I extensively researched the needs and dietary requirements ensuring they had a healthy start in life before I found exceptional homes for them. Our 3rd cat Henry is a fairly recent addition to the family, having adopted him from an elderly neighbour who could no longer care for him. All three cats were warey of dogs and are now beginning to accept them. They are all outdoor cats and I plan on building them a shelving/sleeping area at the top of my staircase to give them a natural environment indoors. Every animal deserves love, care and affection, they will certainly have that with me! I’d be delighted to meet you and your dog beforehand and spend some time getting to know you both, ensuring I’m the right match for your dog’s needs. I also hold an Enhanced DBS check for added reassurance. I am also currently studying Level 2 Award Dog First Aid and CPR through Dog Business School. I currently work full time, term time in a local school. I have lots of free time over the school holidays and also most weekends. I can offer any hours/overnights you require during this time. There is always a member of my family at home, usually my mother, who is at my house throughout the day to collect my youngest son from school. This means there is someone available to provide company and care during the day. I am happy to accept boarding requests during the times I am at work on weekdays. However, during term time, I prefer boarding to begin at the weekend so I can help your dog settle into my home before I return to work on Monday. Once I'm at work, a family member will be at home to continuing to expertly care for them. I generally work Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm at a local school to my home. I have a long fenced off back garden, access to a field over the back of my house and I am also situated within walking distance to a large grass/wooded area called Prospect Park. I have previously, (with the dog owners consent) taken their dog to the beach with my family. Wherever me and my family go, the dog will come with us, whether that's for dinner, shopping or any other recreation purposes that allow dogs. All activities we do as a family, when we have a dog in my care, will never be excluded or left on their own. I will follow any instructions given by you, including feeding, medication, brushing teeth, walking or any other routines you have for your beloved dog. I own a 3 bedroom house and have 3 children of my own and my partner has two. They vary in age from 4 to 17. Our children are not always at home and spend equal amounts of time with their other parent. All our children are besotted with animals and treat them with the love and respect they deserve.

About: Hi, I’m Laura 👋🏻 - your seasoned pet sitter and I’m thrilled to offer a warm and personalised experience for you fur baby! A little bit about me...I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I used to look after my nan's puppies every day after school. At my parents' house we've had a cat for as long as I can remember, so I've got plenty of experience looking after cats too.  My first graduate job was working in frundraising at Guide Dogs. We had a dog friendly office as well as a training center on site, so I was surrounded by pups on a daily basis and learnt vital skills about their care and behaviour.  I'm experienced and confident around dogs and cats of all breeds, shapes and sizes. 😊 I have a lot of experience looking after puppies, rescues and senior pets. As I work remotely, I have a pretty flexible schedule and I'm available to take care of your pets most weekdays/weekends. I'm offering doggy daycare at my home, dog walking (30mins+), house visits and house sitting services at your home. I'm comfortable with staying for longer periods of time and looking after the house too, including holidays. I can host dogs in my flat, which is right in front of a lovely park, or provide care in their own home where they feel most at ease. Wherever they stay, I’ll make sure they get the same love, attention, and routine they’re used to — with plenty of updates for you too!

About: With 15 years of dog ownership experience I've cared for a range of breeds, from large German Shepherds to small Yorkshire Terriers. While I currently don't have a dog of my own, I regularly look after Rover guest dogs and tend to the pets of family and friends. I've successfully cared for dogs of various ages, breeds, and temperaments, and would love to care for your fur baby! I'm proficient in walking dogs that aren't mine and I can handle multiple dogs simultaneously. I use basic dog commands and effective lead control to ensure your dog is safe outside on walks. Whilst your away I send regular updates with photos and videos so you can stay in touch with your pooch. I can administer medications, including eardrops and oral meds if your dog is unwell during their stay. Your dog will enjoy a comfortable home environment with a garden, offering ample playtime, toilet breaks, walks, and cosy moments on the sofa. As an extra service, I can provide baths, blow-drying and brushing. Please consult my calendar for availability- Your dog will experience a calm and homely atmosphere during their stay. I can accommodate up to two dogs simultaneously, but this may vary based on space and the preferences of the dogs involved. If you have multiple dogs, I can happily care for them together. Please note that I exclusively offer dog sitting at your home on Fridays and weekends only. Residing on the ground floor of a small block of flats, I have convenient access to a large communal garden, securely gated and fenced. The living room is spacious, providing a comfortable setting for your dog. They are welcome to join me on the sofa, and for overnight stays they can choose between their own dog bed or the sofa. Additionally, a nearby park and easy access to quiet off-road paths and woodland areas offer outdoor options for day time activities.

Rachel looked after my two cats for two weeks while I was away on holiday, and I couldn't have asked for better care. From the start, she was friendly, reliable, and professional. She kept everything clean and tidy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my cats' wellbeing. When I came home, both cats were relaxed, happy, and very well looked after. Rachel went above and beyond, and I really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave them. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Lola and Mia!

We needed a cat sitter for our two ginger cats & found Niz's profile. It turned out to be super convenient all round as she is just a few minutes from us. She visited before we travelled, to get to know Milo & Cookie. Cookie was instantly smitten, Milo a little more cautious, but that's just his nature. Niz took wonderful care of our kitties - visiting twice a day. She sent us daily photos & videos & gave us little updates about how they were doing - how much they ate, litter tray habits, etc. She fed them, topped up their fountains, scooped the litter trays & made a big fuss of them. She even earned Milo's trust - not an easy task as he is naturally more nervous & wary of humans he doesn't know. Overall, Niz did a fantastic job, gave us huge peace of mind & we wouldn't hesitate to use her services again - highly recommended!

We couldn’t be happier with the care Chloe provided for our cat. This is our first time getting someone to look for cat but Chloe reassured that our cat will be fine. She gave us updates through the app which really put our minds at ease. Cooper seemed so relaxed and happy when we got home, which is the best sign of all! From the meet and greet to the actual sitting, we knew that Chloe clearly has a natural bond with cats. We’ll definitely be booking again!

I had an emergency out of town trip and I needed a cat sitter. This was my first time using the app and I had just moved house. Tommy was able to reassure me, both with his relaxed presence and clear experience with looking after animals. My cat is very skittish and I’m sure she wasn’t the most entertaining but Tommy persevered and was able to look after her and send pictures (when he could Catch a glimpse). Would recommend and would use again.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 occured. 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 on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
