About: Dogs have been a big part of my life since I was a child, and we have owned various breeds. Most recently we had a labrador, Ella who we sadly recently lost at 10.5years old. So I have experience caring for senior dogs and giving medications if required (I'm also a registered nurse). I've informally cared for family and friends dogs, taking them for walks, completing check-ins and having overnight stays at my home. Currently we haven't yet got another dog, so have a pet-free home with a large secure garden. Looking forward to getting to know your furry friends and taking them on some outdoor adventures 🐾 I do shift work so have several days free each week to be available for your dog's needs. For overnight stays I would need advance notice, and can only be accommodated in my own home. I have a large secure garden and able to provide 1:1 interaction for your furry friend. Also have a dog crate available and dog ramp for senior or those with mobility issues if going on some longer walks.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on the Gower with a country-farm lifestyle meant daily life with all sorts of companions! From the little ones (my hamster was called Ray Charles) to the ones with wings (chickens and pigeons) through to kitties, dogs, goats and even horses. That upbringing shaped my passion for compassionate, patient care, especially for rescue animals who need a little extra understanding. I’m confident with different temperaments and ages, happy to follow detailed instructions, and committed to welfare-first - it is always stress-free care. I treat every pet like family as that’s what they deserve! I work remotely and currently work from home Wednesday - Friday, which means I have plenty of time for fuss, play, and pop-in visits across the week. I’m a very active person, getting some fresh air at lunchtime and after work to mentally reset - furry friends are essential companions! Weekends I’m very flexible and able to provide longer term sitting solutions, including overnight care. I currently have two beautiful (and probably a little spoiled) tabby cats and a lively cocker spaniel puppy! My cats spend time indoors and outdoors with a designated safe and quiet space in my attic with lots of cosy cubbies, cat towers and toys. I have a fully enclosed garden with lawn (which is great for snuffle activities) with a level patio for play with toys and little games of fetch.
About: I've walked dogs everywhere since I was 12 from my own to friends and family! Any dog big or small I'm happy to walk! I have such a love for animals and if anyone needs help with daily walks or check ins and feeding for shorts trips away always happy to help! I currently work part time Thursday to Saturday but available Monday to Wednesday any time including mornings and evenings and also nights for check ins and late walks! Im unable to accommodate overnight stays I'm afraid but check ins and walks always available. I have two children and a little fur baby of my own so I have no room to accommodate for others
About: I have owned 2 male beagles in the past and have had dogs in my family as long as I can remember. I can take care of larger dogs and puppies, with experience raising 4 puppies and caring for larger dogs including Siberian Huskies and a New Foundland. I have a secure garden and can provide plenty of time to play and care for your dog. I have previously volunteered as a dog walker where I regularly walked a Siberian husky and two Alsatian’s. I have cared for multiple dogs through Rover and have loved meeting each one! I work from home flexibly so can be available to suit your needs. Evenings and weekend visits are also welcome. I can do daycare or home drop in visits. I have a secure garden and can provide plenty of toilet breaks and play time. I can crate your dog if you like or can let them roam around the house and garden as they wish. Nothing in my home is left within paws reach. I have a toddler so your dog will need to be friendly with children, although they will be kept separate for safety for my child and peace for the dogs!
“Catarina did a wonderful job caring for our family cat. She played with him when she dropped by and gave him love and affection. She updated us all the time, providing great detail and photographs. Keta (cat) bonded with her very quickly as well. As a whole we all loved Catarina :)”


About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog. I treat each pet as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, reliable, and comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether it's an energetic puppy that needs consistency and positive reinforcement, or a senior dog that requires a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort, I'm happy to tailor my care to suit them. I believe in keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. My goal is to provide a fun, stress-free experience where your pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, and one-on-one attention in a safe and caring environment. I work five days a week, but I make time every day for pet care. Walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention are all part of my routine, ensuring every dog gets the care and companionship they need. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in their own home, I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also keep their environment clean and provide updates with photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of Lady over the last August bank holiday weekend while we were in Bournemouth. Lady was so excited to see you every time you arrived and she came back to us very happy. Thanks for being flexible and looking after her at your home instead when our plans needed to change, for collecting her / dropping her off each day and for your regular updates. We knew Lady was in safe hands with Rachel. Will book again next time we are visiting. Thanks again! :)”

About: Hi, I’m Sara I’ve cared for dogs for many years, starting with family and friends’ pets — helping with walking, feeding, and day-to-day care. Four years ago, after a change in jobs, I welcomed my own dog, Bobby, an English Springer Spaniel. He’s a high-energy breed, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and routine. Daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of my life. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I tailor every walk or visit to suit your dog’s personality, pace, and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I focus on proper outdoor walks, taking dogs to explore woodland, open spaces and different environments where they can sniff, run and experience something new — not just the same quick route every time. I also offer cat visits, providing calm, attentive care while you’re away, with updates to give you peace of mind. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own, and you can rely on me to provide consistent, caring and thoughtful support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always treat them as if they were my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will give your pet genuine care and attention, I’d love to help. I work full time, so I offer dog walking and drop-in visits during evenings and at weekends. This fits naturally into my routine, as I already spend much of my free time outdoors walking with my own dog. I’m organised, reliable, and always stick to agreed times and routines. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions and ensure each walk is suited to your dog’s needs. I keep dogs secure on leads where needed and remain aware of our surroundings at all times. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of your home, and I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I work with animals constantly in university, and own dogs, a cat and a reptile myself. Over the past couple of years I’ve spent my summers and holidays volunteering with all sorts of different animals. I’m currently home from university for the summer so have a lot of spare time to fill. My time can be used however it suits your pet. :) I very commonly deal with dogs that are unfamiliar to me so prioritise building trust and ensuring they’re comfortable with me. I think it’s important to keep pups in their own environment when their owners are away so they’re most comfortable.
“Izzy is so friendly and a lovely person. She was amazing with my puppy Winston. He loved his cuddles and playtime with her. Izzy kept me informed and sent me pictures and videos which helped settle me. I will definitely be booking with Izzy again! ☺️”

About: I grew up around working dogs and will be looking to get my own dog soon! I love dogs and I always have, myself and my partner have also got two spoiled cats in our house so I have experience with cats also. I have dogsat for friends and family and wholly loved the experience, I also trained all of my own dogs growing up so I fully understand that every animal has their own unique traits and personality. I'm always available to pop in and take care of your pets! Be it a short toilet break and water check or a good long walk, I'm happy to learn your rules and expectations and make sure that your animal is as happy as possible while I'm around. And if they're not the social type - thats fine too! I'll always have water with me on walks to make sure we both stay hydrated. I'll keep your dog on a lead at all times and am happy to take less social dogs out at quieter times to ensure they get a good walk in. I'm also happy to film and photograph both home visits and walks so you know your pet is receiving the best care possible while you're away. I also 100% encourage a meet and greet beforehand for you and your animal, so they can get a sizing of me and so you know who you're dealing with!
“Thank you so so much Amber! Elvis loved his visits from you and you were so easy to deal with and make arrangements. Nothing was too much trouble … even a very excitable boy! Would definitely recommend! :)”


“It is my first time using Catinaflat - Hayley was amazing! She visited my two cats beforehand to meet them and to find out their routine. She messaged me frequently to keep me updated and sent pictures. My two cats were very content when I got home. Highly recommend. Thank you :) ”

“I am extremely grateful to Dylan for watching my digs while I was away. Dylan was great my dogs and they were well cared for while I was away. I had no concerns abs would definitely use Dylan again.”

About: Personally I was never allowed a dog when I was a child, I have previously owned different pets including rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. This just increased my want of a dog, so my first and longest job I have had was a professional dog walker and throughout the years I have looked after many different dogs. I am currently a student at the University of South Wales and with a minimal social life I am currently widely available for any services. I have previously walked and cared for dogs of all different sizes and shapes. I have also had to adapt to different medical and dietary requirements.
About: Nijo & Jenny Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs and cats and have cared for pets for many years. Over time, I have looked after and cared for dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, each with their own unique personalities, needs and routines. As a Merchant Navy Officer, I have 2 mo tha rotation, where I am onboard for 2-3 and at home on leave for 2-3 months. During my leave periods, I am home full-time for up to two months at a stretch, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship, exercise and supervision. My wife and I are both passionate animal lovers and regularly help friends with their dogs. Due to my work pattern we are unable to get a dog ourselves currently but we try to compensate that by lending a hand to our friends with pets. We understand that every pet is different, and we strive to provide a safe, loving and stress-free home away from home where pets are treated as part of the family. We ourselves use rover when we go for vacations and understand the situation, we strive to create a second home for your furry friends and would be part of our family. When I am on leave from work, I am available at home full-time and can dedicate my attention to your pet throughout the day. This allows me to maintain their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest periods and plenty of companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors and regularly visit local walking areas such as Brynna Woods and Smilog Woods. Depending on your dog's preferences and energy levels, I can also provide longer walks, park visits and beach outings. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention and a calm environment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. My wife and I live in a spacious home with a secure fenced back garden, providing a safe environment for dogs to relax, play and explore. We also share our home with our friendly domestic shorthair cat, Simba, who is comfortable around dogs that respect her space. Before every booking, I take time to understand your pet's routine, preferences, dietary requirements and any special instructions. My wife is a medical doctor and is happy to assist with routine medications if required, providing additional reassurance for owners whose pets may need ongoing treatment during their stay. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention, plenty of supervision and a calm environment. I will also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable and well cared for.
About: I'm a huge animal lover. I've always looked after pets since a child, I got a lot of my experience from my aunties animal farm. I would bathe, feed, walk and learn how to take care of pets since a young age. From puppies to senior dogs, animals as small as birds, ducks,ferrets and bigger animals like sheep, pigs, cows, horses etc. I finally met my furr baby almost 3 years ago and become a dog mum. BEST THING I EVER DID. I work from home. We make playing, going out on big walks in nature and snuggles a priority. Pet care is hugely important and easily takes place as a top priority in our household. We often bathe our Ruben after a muddy walk, give him a brush and spoil him with a treaties. I have fenced garden, fully secure. I live opposite a huge mountain, with fantastic walks in nature. I have a little dog to keep your pet company. I've never crated my dog Ruben, he's more than ok to snuggle up on the sofa.
About: I absolutely adore all animals! I am patient, kind and caring. I would love to take care, walk and feed your fur babies for you when needed. I have welcomed quite a few pets into my home over the past year now and I know some great spots for dog walks! I teach swimming lessons Monday to Wednesday from 1pm-7:30pm and then work from home Thursday to Friday and have the weekends free for nice long walks I live in a 2 bedroom flat which is quite spacious, I have a large fenced off garden and I have some lovely dog walks near by. I would require their dog bowls/food & a doggy bed. I can provide the rest. I can provide regular potty breaks as I am home most of the time.

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.
