About: I grew up with dogs in the home, even spent a few years on farmland, so I have experience with dogs ranging from a chihuahua or jack russell all the way up to big huskies and labradours. Having grown up with them I'd like to say my intuition is good when it comes to dogs, In particular I'm good at correcting little things like pulling too hard on a walk, or being too boisterous when playing. But my main concern is actually just to make sure the dogs have a good time, my view of it is I'll correct them if they do something wrong but ultimately I'm not here to be a dictator to them either. I'm also quite calm and patient, so if there is a dog who has troubling behaviour at times, I'm happy to work with that. Not currently working, my dream job is actually to be a teacher, I have 4 going on 5 years experience working with kids, but obviously its not always easy to get a non temporary job in that industry at my age. I'm relatively free, but I like to have a good idea of when I'm doing X thing. I'm happy to work around your own schedule if anything changes, within reason. If something important comes up, no worries, or if you give me an hour or twos notice, thats also fine. I do travel on a bike though, and when discussing availability I will have to factor that in. Unfortunately I live in a flat so I wont be doing any pet care in my home. I have done pet care at the owners home before, so i have experience. I'm happy to take on board anything the owner wants of me while I'm in their home, and I always do what I can to leave the house/garden the way I found it

About: I’ve always been great with animals, I have a Staffy at home and he is a handful, as well as having a family pet cockapoo who lives with my mum and family. I am currently on a career break so I will have an open schedule to help, whether it’s walking your dog or being flexible to help. I have an enclosed garden with is fully fenced and I keep all pets I am watching with me at all times. I prefer to take dogs out on walks in areas with no busy roads such as arrow valley lake.

Five stars is not enough to express how amazing this pet sitter is! She goes above and beyond to ensure pet welfare and happiness and makes sure to put the pet owner’s mind at ease. She helped us in an emergency situation and stepped in to look after our cats when we needed it the most. She nurtured our sick cat back to health and looked after our furry babies like her own. Couldn’t be more grateful and blessed to have found her and will definitely be keeping her contact for the future❤️

About: I love animals, and have looked after big and small dogs and cats for many years. I go and feed them, let them out for the toilet and play with them. I currently don’t work, I can look after your pets when you need, if you want me to stay with your pets over nights I would appreciate if you message me to make arrangements I would look after your pets at your homes as animals are more calm in their own territory and know their surroundings. I would follow any rules that is give to me from the owner

About: I have experience of walking and boarding different small dogs and I have a real love for dogs so I will make sure they are happy and cared for when they are with me. I am a primary school teacher who works part-time in the week, so I have availability to look after dogs from Friday evening and all weekend in school time, however I am available all week and weekends during most school holidays. I have walked and boarded a few dogs and I absolutely love being around dogs and playing with them! I will keep to the routines and schedules that the owner has for their dog and try to mimic this when they are with me. I have a small garden that is fenced and secure where they can run around and have lots of places to walk with dogs near to me that have big open spaces to run around and play.

About: Although I haven’t had a dog of my own for a few years, my sister in law who I live with has a happy and energetic Pomeranian, who I often take care of. What sets me apart is the level of focus and personalised care I give to every dog I walk. Because I don’t have a dog of my own, I’m able to fully dedicate my time and attention to each pet, making sure their individual needs, routines, and personalities are always the priority. Hello, my name is Holly, I’m 22 years old and currently work full time as a GP receptionist and I’m looking to find something I enjoy with my spare time especially if that means helping people and being lucky enough to be trusted with your furry friends😊 Alongside my full-time role, I’ve built a consistent routine that allows me to offer pet care during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I’m punctual and dependable, and I prioritise giving each dog quality time, exercise, and attention. I’m available Monday evenings, Tuesday morning/ afternoon/ evenings, Wednesday evenings, Thursday and Friday afternoon/ evening and weekends are fully flexible. I am also happy to try and schedule any extra walks outside of these times given. I provide reliable and attentive dog walking, making sure each walk suits the dog’s age, energy level, and routine. I carefully follow owner guidance, keep dogs safe on the lead, and stay aware of surroundings at all times. I ensure a smooth pick-up and drop-off, leaving your home secure and your dog comfortable with water and time to settle. I’m also happy to send updates after each walk for reassurance.

With my sons hols coinciding this was our first time we had ever had a sitter to look after any of our pets. We selected Rebbecca because of her excellent previous reviews and also been local to our home. We had some concerns as our cat Joey is getting very old and is a fussy eater and ican have rhe occasional ‘accident’. (Which he did!!!!) All we can say is Rebbecca was excellent, over the 4 days we booked her for, she went betond our expectations, even sending us daily visit reports and images taking away all the concerns we had allowing my wifeespecially to enjoy her break knowing our familly pet was in excellent care. That leaves us with nothing more than praise and would recomend her to anybody looking for a quality pet carer, we will definately use her again

About: Hi, I'm Alex, an 18-year-old animal lover based in Redditch with a genuine passion for caring for pets of all kinds. I've spent the last four years studying Animal Care—two years in high school and two years in college. I recently achieved my Level 1 Animal Care Certificate with a Distinction and will be continuing my studies with the Level 1 Animal Care Diploma in September. I'm always eager to expand my knowledge and provide the best possible care for every animal I meet. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have my own dog, Millie, who is my best friend and whom I trained myself. I also regularly help care for my auntie's German Shepherd/Mastiff cross, giving me experience with larger breeds. In addition, I own a leopard gecko, Arlo, so I'm comfortable caring for reptiles as well as dogs and other pets. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone reliable to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently offering pet sitting services throughout the Redditch area. My goal is to build hands-on experience as I work towards my dream career of becoming a dog trainer and helping to rehabilitate and rehome dogs. You can trust that I'll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits well into my daily routine, and I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for every pet I look after. At the moment, I am available any day from **10:00 AM to 9:00 PM**. From September, when I return to college, I will be in college 3–4 days a week. On those days, I will still be available for evening pet sitting from around **6:00–7:00 PM onwards**. On my days off, I am available from **10:00 AM to 8:00 PM**. Please note that I will be unavailable from **7th August to 21st August** due to a pre-booked holiday. Outside of those dates, I am flexible and happy to work with you to meet your pet's needs whenever possible. I have been caring for my own dog, Millie, since I was 12 years old. I trained her myself, with some support from puppy training classes, which gave me a great understanding of positive reinforcement, patience, and building trust with dogs. I am responsible for feeding her, making sure she always has fresh water, administering her flea and worming treatments, providing daily exercise, enrichment, and plenty of love and companionship. I understand how important it is to stick to a pet's usual routine, as this helps them feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I will treat them as if they were my own. I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet's routine consistent, make sure they receive lots of attention and affection, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've grown up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs. I'm confident looking after both small and large breeds and always adapt my care to suit each dog's individual needs and routine. One of my childhood dogs had diabetes, so I gained experience administering daily insulin injections and caring for a dog with additional medical needs. I also regularly look after family members' dogs, including my brother's Miniature Dachshund, so I understand the importance of handling breeds with specific care requirements. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I'll treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I'd give my own. My aim is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work from home at least two days a week and can choose which days to suit my bookings. On those days, your dog will have plenty of company, regular access to our secure, fenced garden, and a walk during my lunch break. I can also let them out whenever they need throughout the day. At weekends, my partner and I plan our days around the dog we're caring for. If your dog is friendly and enjoys being around people, we'd be happy to include them on visits to family and friends. They'll also enjoy a good walk, lots of attention, and we only leave dogs alone when it's absolutely necessary. Our home is safe and secure, with a fully enclosed garden, a locked side gate, and security cameras for added peace of mind. We also have a downstairs boot room where dogs can relax, sleep, and have a quiet space of their own if they need it. Above all, we'll make sure your dog feels comfortable, settled, and cared for throughout their stay.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters 💛 Lifelong love & experience — I grew up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them isn’t just a job, it’s second nature. I know their little ways, what makes them happy, and how to keep them calm and content. 🐶 I’m a dog parent too! — I have my own French Bulldog, Lila, so I understand exactly how precious your fur baby is to you. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give Lila. 🏠 Care in YOUR home — I only offer care in your home, so your dog stays happy, safe, and stress-free in their own familiar space — no new environments, no kennels, no disruption to their routine. 📅 Flexible & reliable — I’m available 3 days a week for short breaks, giving you consistent, dependable care when you need it most. ❤️ Personal, attentive care — I don’t rush visits or split my time between multiple homes. Your dog gets my full focus, plenty of fuss, and routine kept exactly as you’d do it yourself. In short: I don’t just look after dogs — I love them like family, because I know exactly how much they mean to you. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine — I can dedicate 3 days a week to help with short breaks and visits, so I’m flexible and reliable when you need me most. It’s also something that feels completely natural to me: I have my own French Bulldog, and I grew up surrounded by dogs my whole life, so looking after pets isn’t just a service — it’s second nature. Dogs are part of my daily life already, so fitting in walks, check-ins, or overnight stays feels easy and enjoyable, not like an extra task. I understand their needs, habits, and little quirks from years of experience, which means your dog will get consistent, loving care that fits right in with my regular routine. How I care for your pet in your home I offer house sitting and drop-in visits in your home only — this is because I have my own beloved French Bulldog, Lila, who is my whole world! Keeping your pet in their own familiar surroundings means no stress from new environments, and also keeps Lila safe and settled at home too. When caring for your dog in your home, I give them the same loving, attentive care I’d want for my own: ✅ Sticking to their routine — feeding, walks, and bedtime exactly as you do, so they feel secure ✅ Plenty of love & play — lots of attention, gentle play, and fuss to keep them happy ✅ Full home security — I stay overnight to keep your dog company and look after your property too ✅ Regular updates — I can send you photos and little updates so you know they’re doing great ✅ Fully experienced — growing up with dogs my whole life and raising Lila means I understand their needs, little quirks, and how to keep them calm and content Your dog gets all the comfort of their own home, plus constant, caring attention — the very best of both worlds.

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.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Redditch pet parents with similar pet households.

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 .

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 Redditch 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 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.
