“Cleo had a taster day with Jo which has put our mind at ease ahead of our holiday when she will be with her for 6 days. She sent pupdates and a photo during the day which was very reassuring. Cleo is very anxious around new people but she seemed to really like her.”


“We came home to two very happy and relaxed cats after Kasia looked after them for three days. We opted for house sitting as opposed to pop in visits and what a difference it made to our furry babies! They had obviously been really glad to have their regular daily routine undisturbed as well as the company, strokes, cuddles and games they got from Kasia who followed our instructions really well and left our house in perfect condition. Our cats warmed to her really quickly which was a great sign as they are both quite sensitive and we got updates and photos on a daily basis making us feel relaxed and confident that they were in good hands. We would highly recommend Kasia as she was reliable and trustworthy with an obvious flare for bonding quickly with other peoples pets. Thank you Kasia 😻”

“Abby was very polite, professional and very understanding to my 2 dogs who do not like to be left alone for any period of time. Abby looked after my 2 freagles for 4 nights and 4 days. Abby kept in constant contact with swift replies to questions along with updates and photos during her stay. I could not ask for anyone more perfect to look after my dogs in future and will definitely use her service again and recommend her to all my friends.”

“Hollie and James were like a breath of fresh air for us. They were prompt, very polite and I felt at ease leaving my 3 very different cats with them. They looked after my cats very well, kept my home clean and tidy and when I came back my cats were very chilled out. I have asked them to cat sit again and I highly recommend them . Thanks Hollie and James 🫶🏼”

“Amy was terrific. Punctual, professional and adaptable, I was impressed as her cool head when it was discovered that I had left her a poorly cut key to access my house and that I had bought the wrong parking pass for her car. Despite my errors, Amy rolled with the issues, solved problems and still managed to take care of my dogs under these stressful conditions. When I returned from my trip, I could barely tell that Amy had stayed. The flat was clean, orderly and well taken care of. Best of all, I think my dogs fell in love with her and probably now prefer her to me. I will definitely be asking Amy to stay again when next I need to travel or go to London for work.”

“Couldn't be happier with Jake. He is very friendly, warm and welcoming. The dogs absolutely loved him. He was very communicative and sent regular updates. Very happy with Jake and highly recommend.”

“Paul was kind and thoughtful, and although he was quite new to dog sitting he really took things in his stride despite being outside his comfort zone at times. He was respectful to us as owners and very patient with our dog who can sometimes be a handful. He did an overnight sit in our house and left the place as he found it. Paul was very honest and communicative at all times and really worked hard to ensure he did the best job he possibly good!”

“Tsarina is simply brilliant — really taking the time to understand our dogs and making sure they were happy while we were out. We instantly felt confident of her care and her abilities with animals and we are looking forward to booking her again.”

“Isabelle was brilliant. We went through my dogs food, and walked together before I went away, and I was really happy that they were in good competent hands. I thoroughly recommend Isabelle.”

“This was the first time we’ve been out of the country without our dog and she couldn’t have been in safer hands. Jordie was an excellent communicator and the house was spotless on our return. Would highly recommend Jordie to stay with your pets. Thanks so much for taking great care of our girl!”

“I highly highly recommend Leslie and Max!! They went out of their way to help us out at short notice and it was so reassuring to know Hector was happy and cared for during the day, he was taken out for a walk and given lots of treats and he was very disappointed when Max went home at the end of the day. Wouldn't hesitate to leave a dog in their care. Thank you so much!”

“I chose Hollie because she has cats of her own and, on meeting Ariel, immediately made friends. Hollie was terrific, sending me little videos of Ariel during their time together and communication was top notch. I will definitely use her again.”

“Rachel is a superb dog-sitter and lovely person. My Great Dane- Moira- loved her. Rachel did a 2 day sit at my home with an overnight. She is very capable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“I can’t recommend Chloe highly enough! She was great with communication, always responding promptly and shared updates during her stay. She had a good sense of how to interact with my sensitive giant-breed dog, and he warmed up to her quickly. Chloe followed all my instructions and I came home to a happy dog :) Really appreciate the great care!”

Ben was an amazing cat sitter for us! We would highly recommend him. We were able to really relax knowing that our cat had company and was being looked after. Then offered us to update us as much or as little as we wanted which was great, communication was perfect and the house was spotless we returned. Thanks so much!

I would like to highly recommend Leah as a pet sitter.Although I have only met Leah a couple times of times so far, she made an instant wonderful impression on me. I own a very wary nervous dog who normally takes a long time to trust new people, remarkably and completely out of character my dog warmed to Leah immediately.Leah has a brilliant warm energy around her and a natural affinity for animals that dogs can clearly sense. Apart from being fantastic with pets she is a warm and friendly person to be around and deal with.I have complete peace of mind leaving my dog in her care and whole-heartedly recommend her Shirley 30/6/26

I highly highly recommend Leslie and Max!! They went out of their way to help us out at short notice and it was so reassuring to know Hector was happy and cared for during the day, he was taken out for a walk and given lots of treats and he was very disappointed when Max went home at the end of the day. Wouldn't hesitate to leave a dog in their care. Thank you so much!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Rother walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Rother 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.
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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
