“Fantastic first experience!This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was absolutely fantastic and kept me constantly updated with reassurance and photos. My dog, Forrest, settled in with her immediately and was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Elizabeth and will absolutely book her again!”
“Danielle was so good with our nervy boy Teddy he was completely settled within a day or two. Regular pictures and updates which were great. Teddy seemed completely happy when we collected him. Would definitely recommend Danielle.”
About: I have grown up owning dogs, fish, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamster's and cats. My nursing career has helped me develop the qualities that are also important in excellent pet care: patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I carefully manage my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so when your pet is in my care, you can feel confident that they will receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I will always try and accommodate you and your pet I’m reliable and organised and will always make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the care, attention and companionship they need. I will always try and adapt and accommodate your pets needs dependant on their daily/weekly routine. I am happy to assist with drop off and collections As a registered nurse I’m responsible, caring and used to putting wellbeing and safety first. I’ll bring the same level of care and attention to looking after your pet. I understand the importance of following routines, instructions and individual needs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Toilet breaks will be as and when your pet needs to go, exactly the same as if it were us! Due to the nature of my profession I am DBS checked.
“Neil recently looked after our senior springer spaniel for a week and we can honestly say, from the moment we meet Neil before Pheobes stay, we knew we made the right decision and she would be in the perfect hands. We received photos and updates and Neil was so accommodating it really put our minds at ease that our girl was having the best time! She had the run of the house and was treated like a princess. She had week of plenty of love and walks. I cannot recommend mend Neil enough if you’re looking for a home from home stay for your pet, then this is the prefect sitter for you. We will 100% be using Neil in the future and will also be recommending him to our friends and family! Thank you so much Neil and family for taking the best care of Pheobe.”
“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”
“Amy looked after Buddy overnight whilst I was at a wedding. She was so good with him and he really enjoyed his stay. She kept me up to date throughout the stay with messages and pictures. This is the second time Amy has looked after Buddy and he’ll definitely be back for more visits soon! Thanks again Amy!”
“These guys were absolutely fantastic with Bella. I had regular photos and videos of my dog Bella and her dog Bonnie running around the garden having a great time! Would recommend her any time my dog was happy and loved her little holiday!”
“Dot had such a lovely time with Sarah and Rolo. It was lovely to see how quickly Dot had settled by receiving videos of Dot and Rolo together. I would definitely recommend Sarah and will be using in the future x”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate Mary is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and needs, which instantly put me at ease. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made such a difference and reassured me that Rosie was happy and well looked after. It was obvious Rosie felt comfortable, relaxed, and even a little spoiled! When I returned, everything was exactly as I’d hoped — a happy, healthy dog and a home that was just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”
“Jo and Jenny are absolute angels. I genuinely felt they had fallen straight from heaven 🥰. Hawk is a rescue from Romania, so it was incredibly important to find sitters who understood his needs. Jo and Jenny took so much time to really get to know him. Their incredible care started before the stay, when we all met up to walk in the forest just so Hawk could get acquainted. Jo collected Hawk from our house, while Jenny planned the adventures. They showed so much thoughtfulness by planning his entire stay around the heatwave. They kept him completely safe while still giving him the ultimate adventure. Hawk is super energetic, so they planned amazing adventures, including beach trips, then sent the cutest video of him digging in the sand, chasing seagulls and waves, for the first time in his life. They walked him in the forest and waterfalls, the pics show Hawk paddling, splashing and loving cold water rubs. I was kept updated the whole time with the most beautiful videos and pictures, Jo even walked him in the forest, before dropping him home. Hawk is sleeping soundly now, completely content after his amazing mini-vacation 🐾 It is so clear Jo and Jenny do this purely out of a selfless love for dogs and not money. Sadly (for them not me 🤣), their busy work arrangements mean they can't have a dog permanently right now, so they poured all that affection into Hawk. They absolutely adored him and he idolised them. Jo and Jenny are the most caring, gentle, and exceptional sitters you could ever wish for. Now that we have found them, our lives will be enriched, we can now go away without worry, knowing Hawk is in the best care imaginable. We have found the perfect sitters so are forever grateful for the Rover app. 🥰”
“I was so worried about leaving our fur baby with somebody I didn't know but as soon as we met Becca (and Russell) for the first time our minds were put at ease. From the time we dropped our frenchie off Becca kept us up to date with everything with messages, photos & videos of their daily walks and antics. She gives them so much attention and plays with them constantly, our cheeky girl even ended up sneaking upstairs and sharing the bed with Becca & Russell lol. Becca is absolutely amazing and her dog Russell is very friendly too and would highly recommend her to anyone. We have already booked her for our next holiday.”
About: I have a 5 year old labrador and I'm very used to walking him for 1 hour daily. I grew up with dogs and lived near a farm as a young child. I also had 2 pet persian house cats as well as budgie's and hamsters. I work full-time but this is agile, balancing office based with working from home. I am usually free during the evenings and on fridays as well as the weekends. But this can be flexible if i offer a boarding service as i can agile work. I have a fenced garden so everything is safe and enclosed, i also live on a quiet estate where the road is not busy. I like to spend time with the animals when they are in my company, as long as a blanket is on the sofa and bed they are welcome to lay on this.
About: I have always been around dogs since I can remember. Whether that was my own Labrador’s or my family’s/friends dogs. I currently co-own an 8 year old Labrador with my father who we rescued from dogs trust when he was one years old, who I love unconditionally. I also look after my mum’s dog often, which is a Staffy cross with a few other mastiff breeds mixed in. She will be 1 in April and she is currently under going puppy training and I love to play with her and she is very cute as you can see in the pictures I’ve provided. I work full time Monday-Friday but I can be flexible with working from home throughout the week, however, I always work from home on a Friday. I am also, happy to have dogs over the weekend if needs be, whether that is at my flat or your place. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom flat by myself with no other animals present. Opposite I have a huge field where I can walk the dogs and take them out for toilet breaks as many times as they need. I also live near nature walks as well, which I can happily take the dogs too for longer walks etc if needed.
About: I provide loving reliable care for dogs and cats of all ages, whether in a home from home environment, or at your home. From energetic younger pets to senior companions who need a little extra patience and comfort, every pet receives personalised attention tailed to their routine and needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, relaxed and well cared for while you’re away or at work, giving you complete piece of mind. I’ve decided to turn my passion for animals into my dream job. I’m available to walk, pop in on your pet, mind your dog through the day/night, and anything else you know will keep them happy while you are away, Monday through to Friday. If you are looking for something over the weekend, let’s chat. I have a large high fenced in back garden, which is completely secure. While your pet is with me they will be provided with an AirTag collar, along with my full contact details. Your pet will be walked on the lead at all times, and walked with no more than two other compatible friends. I am fully confident in most aspect of pet first aid, DBS checked, fully insured, each walk will be Strava tracked and sent to you along with some pictures/videos from the walk.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Rhondda Cynon Taf
Our lab George had an amazing week with Susan and her family! He was welcomed from day one, settled in well and felt a part of the family immediately. He was certainly spoilt rotten and totally cared for. It was a real home from home for him. We are thrilled of the care Susan gave George, and would no doubt book again. Highly recommended.
Georgia looked after my dog Buzz over a weekend. She was great and helped me out last minute. Buzz was very well cared for, you could tell he’d even been brushed when he came home as he was so fluffy. They dropped him off and he was crying at the window because he missed them. Forever grateful for helping me in a tough spot and for the incredible care they gave him xx

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Wales may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
