About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I was raised with two Old English Sheepdogs, so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as the daily responsibilities that come with caring for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I work Monday to Thursday, 9-5, in Birmingham city centre, so I’m usually most available for pet sitting on Fridays and weekends. I may also be available for weekday evening visits depending on location. I’m happy to offer reliable visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and company, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the time, care, and attention they need. I live in a clean, well cared for home, and have a large park nearby, which is ideal for dog walks and outdoor time. I always aim to provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in my care, while following their usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very respectful when caring for pets in other people’s homes and would always treat your home, and your pet, with care and consideration.
About: I am a caring, responsible and reliable pet lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and cats. I am patient, attentive and happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding and loving care. I understand that every pet has different needs and I always make their safety and happiness my priority. I am also comfortable caring for young, senior and nervous pets. I have a flexible schedule and can arrange pet care around my daily routine. I am available for regular or occasional visits, walks and cat sitting, depending on the owner’s needs. I always put pets’ safety, comfort and wellbeing first. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep their home clean and secure, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, care and companionship.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’m also a proud dog owner myself. Taking care of dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with them, going for walks, playing together and simply keeping them company is something that helps me relax and makes me happy. For the past 5 years, I’ve been pet sitting for dogs and other pets around Birmingham, gaining experience with different breeds, personalities and routines. I understand that every dog is different, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while they’re away from their owners. I’ve recently decided to make my Rover profile more active, as I’d love to spend more time with dogs and help other pet owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. 🐶❤️ After dropping my daughter off at school each morning, I’m available throughout the day and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Pet sitting and dog walking are my main activities during the day, so I can be flexible with my schedule and give each pet the attention, care and companionship they need. I live in a house with a secure, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe and enclosed outdoor space to enjoy. However, I usually care for dogs inside my home, where they can feel comfortable, relaxed and part of the family. I always follow each pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding, walks, playtime and other individual needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet with someone, so I take their safety and wellbeing very seriously. As a dog owner myself, I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience and attention I would want for my own. 🐾
“Glenda looked after my cat while I was away and did a fantastic job. She kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my cat was well cared for and happy. I would definitely recommend Glenda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Anzelika was brilliant. Reliable, bonded with my cat, gave veey detailed updates each day with pictures. Anzelika did more than i expected. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her going forward”
About: I adore dogs and have a dog free house, having lost my beloved senior Staffy in 2023. I am very experienced with dogs with medical needs, senior dogs and a variety of breeds. I know how anxiety inducing it is when your beloved family member has to stay at home when you go on holiday or away for whatever reason, and can give your dog the love and care they need while you are away. I work from home on the computer and live next door to Sandwell Valley country park, so can offer 24 hour care to your dog. Walks are mornings before midday and/or evenings after 4pm, and access to the garden is at anytime. Walks can be in the quiet farmlands or the more lively park, depending on your dogs needs and preferences. The house is dog friendly and secure. The garden is completely fenced off with a 7 foot solid fence.
“We can’t fault Stephanie, she was absolutely wonderful with our cat, very friendly and professional and her communication before and during the visits was great. I loved that she regularly updated us and sent us little videos of our cat happy and playing, it really put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our holiday knowing she was in very safe hands. Would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and will be booking with her again next time we go away!”
“This was the very first time I've ever used a pet sitting service and I was a little bit nervous about trusting a stranger into my home to look after my pet, but I couldn't have asked for a nicer and more considerate person who genuinely loves animals than Kaitlin. There was updates and photos after each visit which gave us constant reassurance and comfort knowing Napoleon was in safe hands. Top marks. Very reliable and trusting. Thank you so much x”

I'm currently working part-time on mixed shifts so I have plenty of time to look after your pets and take the for walks no matter how long.

About: I offer professional dog walking and overnight boarding services tailored to your dog’s needs. With over 2 years of experience and a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to give your furry friend the attention, care, and love they deserve. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment. I have an open schedule every day, so I’m able to give pet care my full attention. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play, and any other needs the pet may have. I enjoy caring for animals and make sure they feel safe and well looked after. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow any instructions from the owner closely—especially when it comes to feeding, routines, and any special needs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, make sure they’re never left alone for too long, and create a calm, friendly space where they feel secure. I also take time to build trust with each pet, so they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away. In addition to this I offer a spacious fenced garden where the dogs can safely play with my friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets, which can help them feel more at ease and provide companionship.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner I have hands on experience caring for a wide variety of pets including cats, rabbits, tortoises, turtles, lizards and frogs to name a few. I understand that every animal has unique needs from feeding routines and habitat maintenance to providing attention enrichment and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own ensuring that they receive reliable attentive and compassionate care whilst you are away. I am currently working part time in a school so I am available most of the day. Giving me plenty of opportunity for multiple drop ins for your pet. I understand that no two pets are the same and some require specific care. I am happy to work on a care plan with the owners to ensure that their beloved pet gets the right care. To board pets in my home you would be required to provide a temporary habitat for example a small cage for furry animals or a vivarium for reptiles. Heat sources can be provided.

I currently look after people's pets as my main job role. I have a couple walks every morning, the rest of my jobs are usually 0 hours contracts so are on my terms.

Glenda looked after my cat while I was away and did a fantastic job. She kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my cat was well cared for and happy. I would definitely recommend Glenda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Kerry Is amazing with my 4 cats and looked after everything. She doesn't just pop in she makes an effort to play with them and keeps me updated with photos and messages. She even looked after them an extra day due to a delay in returning. I will be using her in the future. A lovely woman who is great with animals. Thank you Kerry!
Carol was impeccable - Caesar warmed up to her straight away and he's usually nervous of new people so I knew he would be in very good hands. Thank you so much Carol for looking after him and providing daily pictures to put my mind at ease!! Knowing you were taking care of him made it so I could properly enjoy my holiday. I will be in touch!

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 Sandwell 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.

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.
