About: I have just completed my undergraduate degree in social work. I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life and looking after them is now just second nature to me. Back at home I have three dogs, Two Jack Russells and Border Collie cross; a very busy household! I have has caring responsibilities all my life growing up with these animals as we've never been without a dog in the house. I also have a cat, and so am familiar with looking after feline friends too! I am currently working a part time job in a social care sector. I am currently working a part time job, in a social care sector Wednesday to Friday. So am available Saturday to Tuesday to help look after your furry friends. I am honest and reliable, with great experience walking and keeping dogs entertained. I am looking forward to meeting your pets and getting to know their wonderful personalities.
“Angie was amazing. Super great at communicating and paying attention to all the details. Our cats enjoyed her and she took really good care of them and the car was very precise. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while we were traveling.”
About: As a dog handler in the Army, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of breeds, each with their own unique personalities and characteristics. My passion for understanding animal behavior has led me to pursue extensive education in the field, including achieving a Level 3 animal care and welfare assistant certification for working dogs, as well as a Level 3 diploma in canine care, behaviour, and welfare. I have two lovely dogs myself and I can assure you your loving member will get the same experience when they stay with me. My dogs come first and routine, enrichment, walks and lots of fuss is a must ! I do currently work full time but with work being round the corner I am able to check with them frequently. Mondays I start later, Wednesdays and Friday I finish earlier. I come home on lunches to walk my own dog for toilet breaks and as I would with any dogs I look after. When I’m at work, dogs will get walked in the morning before I go to work (45mins - 1hour), lunchtime (10-15mins) and in the afternoon (30mins-1hour) I also do one last time about 2000 in the evening as my dog doesn’t always toilet in the back garden. I do my best to stick to this routine just so they are settled in the house. I always give my own dog enrichment when I leave the house. If there’s no issues with resource guarding I can do this too. This can be discussed further on meets or over message. I live in the country side with a lot of safe places to walk the dogs. Plenty of open areas. I have fenced back garden and a friendly dog. I love providing my dog with a structured routine so you can be assured that your furry member will be treated the same.
About: DBS checked. I provide reliable, home based dog care in your home or mine, including sitting, boarding, daycare, and walking, tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes from a young age, with experience ranging from newborn puppies and energetic young dogs to older dogs requiring a calmer, more attentive approach. I hold a Level 3 CPD Award in Veterinary Support Assistance, with training in animal handling, first aid, health awareness, and emergency situations, allowing me to prioritise safety and wellbeing in every booking. Dogs in my care benefit from a calm, structured environment with access to quiet walking routes and open countryside, ideal for both exercise and relaxed time. Experienced with active dogs who enjoy longer countryside walks and consistent outdoor exercise throughout the year. Confident handling high energy breeds who require structured exercise and stimulation. I work fulltime in a professional role and bring that same reliability, organisation, and communication to my dog care. Owners can expect consistency, regular updates, and a dependable service they can trust. I’m particularly suited to owners looking for regular, longterm care or a safe, stable home environment while they are away. I plan my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I provide consistent care throughout the day, including morning walks, daytime exercise and stimulation, and evening wind-down time. I’m flexible and adjust my routine depending on each dog’s usual schedule and energy levels. My focus is on keeping routines as familiar and stress free as possible so dogs feel settled and comfortable during their stay. Whether in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. I ensure all spaces are safe, clean, and free from hazards, and I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, and any medication requirements. Dogs are always supervised and kept secure during walks, with careful attention to their behaviour and surroundings. I also provide regular updates so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.
“Our cat is very wary, touching on the neurotic, but Leanne managed to get close to her and she was much more relaxed when we got home than she normally is. For any cat owners I would certainly recommend Leanne”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been a big animal lover. I always am first to volunteer to look after family & friends dogs - I have a lot of love to give! I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, which I use to help dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need structure or older dogs who need gentler care, I know how to adapt to their needs. Having raised two dogs of my own with my parents, I treat every pup as if they’re family ◡̈ Right now, I do work a 8.30-5 Mon-Fri job, however I can give your pets plenty of time and attention when I am not working whether that be in the evenings or at weekends.

I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise with walks in their local area, along with playtime, cuddles, feeding, and anything else they need to feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I have had various pets growing up - a dog since I was 11. I previously worked for a dog kennels, walking the dogs and helping with feeding and cleaning. Prior to using Rover, I had lots of experience looking after neighbours and friends dogs whilst they were away. I currently work freelance from home so have a flexible schedule. I like to travel but in between travelling I’m always eager to help with dog walking, drop in visits or home stays. I currently can’t offer home boarding at my own home as I live with my family’s pets, but hope to open this up again in the future. I always adapt to each pet/owner, when it comes to eating and daily routines, as I understand everyone and every dog is different. I will treat your dog with as much love and care as if they were my own. I care massively about the welfare and happiness of every animal I meet ❤️

“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”
About: Growing up in a home that was never without paws, claws, or wagging tails, owning and caring for animals hasn’t just been a hobby for us—it has been a lifelong way of life. Over the years, we have loved and raised eight wonderful cats, navigating everything from the delicate care required for pregnant felines to raising newborn kittens. Our canine experience is just as diverse; we have looked after a wide variety of dog breeds, ranging from energetic small pups to powerful large breeds. Currently, we are the proud owners of a gorgeous American Akita, a breed that has taught us deep patience, precise communication, and the art of managing large, strong-willed dogs. I am full time at home so have plenty of time to keep your pets to your set routines and give them the care they require We have a large back garden that is fully fenced and secured off. We stick to your exact routine and their dietry requirements as well

About: Have had cats growing up and was absolutely obsessed with them. More recently I have looked after a handful of my friends and families dogs which has been amazing! I also worked in a dog friendly pub, and just become obsessed with all the furry friends- even introduced the dog of the month competition! I always seemed to remember the dogs but not the humans, whoops! I’m currently changing my career to have a life I love. Cats and cute dogs have to be involved! I now work as a Pilates instructor and seem to be free during the day- a time when doggos or kitty kats need that little bit of attention and love. Please note I am NOT available: Monday & Tuesday evenings 4pm onwards. Friday mornings. Available after 12:00 Saturday and Sunday mornings. Available after 12:00 Please feel free to message me to discuss timings. I live in a terrace house with a garden. The front of my house looks onto a big green, which tends to be the neighbours dog walking spot! I can’t wait to join them!
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!

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 occurred. 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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
