“Shunqi is really lovely and my cats loved her. She sent lots of photos each visit and kept me updated on how well they were eating, if they didn't feel like playing that day or if she had any concerns so I wasn't worried at all. My cats have also tended to sulk when I have left them with other people before but they seemed really happy when I got back. Will definately book again in future :)”

About: I have grown up with a variety of animals my entire life, all varying in ages and sizes. I currently provide pet sitting and walking in addition to my current full time job for friends and family. This includes looking after my sister’s 11 month old puppy and training where possible. I am currently working full time Monday to Friday in a college. With my weekends free, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which allow me to pet sit on these days, I can do overnight stays so long as I don’t have an event. With my job I sometimes do overtime which allows me to book off additional days for pet sitting should I need to. I prefer looking after pets in the pet owners home as I believe pets deserve to feel at home and safe, what safer space is there for them than a space they live in. I will provide the upmost care and respect in your home, I am also DBS checked
About: I have experience of owning and looking after family and friends dogs. I am a keen walker, loving nothing more than being out with dogs locally. I curently work part time in a freelance basis at home so have lots of time to help to care for and walk dogs locally. I am always up and about walking our dog early, then we have a other couple of walks planned through the day. We have an enclosed garden so we have fun between walks playing in the garden. I have a large fully enclosed back garden and live in a village near Selby giving us access to beautiful walks and fields on my doorstep.
“Another successful visit from Jonny. Tigger has finally come out of his shell and started interacting with him—long may this continue. Thank you, Jonny, for taking such great care of our boys!”


“Ana was fantastic with our dog, so kind and loving! We booked last minute for a drop in service while we was out for the day. Lenny was super comfortable with Ana and loved playing ball in the garden. Ana was great and check his water supply and that he was comfortable before leaving. We will definitely use Ana again. Highly recommended.”

With plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends, I’m available weekends and week days to ensure your pet receives the attention they deserve. My home is perfect for dogs to relax and play. It’s just myself and my little 5-year-old pug, who is friendly, playful, and eager to make new friends. We also have a spacious, secure grass garden where your dog can enjoy fresh air and exercise in a safe environment. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your beloved dogs! I’m available for boarding seven days a week, including both weekdays and weekends, ensuring your furry friends get all the attention and love they deserve. At my home, pets are treated like family.

About: I have a lifelong love and experience with animals.

I’m confident around dogs of different personalities and understand the importance of keeping them happy, safe and well exercised.

“Sophie was fantastic, really good communication, punctual and respectful of our home. Pip took to her instantly and was very happy when we got home. Would definitely book her again”

About: I’ve cared for family pets for many years and have attended an animal management course for animal welfare and behaviour, which included details of training animals and properly caring for a variety of different animals and pets. I have also volunteered at a dog kennels looking after dogs in kennels whilst their owners were away and I currently work at a dog groomers. I have learned to care for a variety of animals so can provide care for different pets. I am currently at college and have a job so I can fit pet care into anytime on weekends and after 6pm on weekdays. I can also provide pet care during bank holidays and any other time off I have. I can cater to different pets’ needs and follow specific instructions pet owners have for their pets to make sure they have the best care. I will only provide pet care for pets outside of my house as I have a dog and wouldn’t want pets to become stressed by this, also for the sake of my own dog’s wellbeing.

About: I'm currently a student Occupational Therapist who is really missing my family's pets while I'm at uni! 🐾 I love animals and know how important they are as valued members of the family! As a teenager I volunteered for the Cats Protection League and would clean litter trays for people in my local area who couldn't do so themselves. I would often dogsit for neighbours, and have even looked after someone's pet frogs before! 🐾 I adapt to whatever style of care your pet needs - some pets value calm and slow paced interactions, and some pets seem to have unlimited amounts of energy! My goal is to keep your pet happy in a style that is closest to their normal. 🐾 I am a very clean person, who will send regular updates via text and video. I have a fully enhanced DBS, and solid references :) 🐾 It's currently the summer holidays at University, so my schedule is completely flexible! I am doing a lot of studying at the moment, which can be done with your pet if they need extra company or supervision 🤓📖 I volunteer at my local community garden for a few hours a week, but this is flexible. I'll happily send update videos and pictures, and will always make sure you know what's going on. I understand that pets feel upset when their family leave for a trip, so I try to make the experience a positive one!
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I have had a Cane Corso and a French Bulldog. I am extremely responsible and treat all dogs I sit as my own. In the past year I took full time care of a French bulldog whilst his owner was at work. This included looking after him 7am - 5pm involving everything from feeding, walkies, playtime to bathing, brushing and sleepovers. My schedule is flexible as I work from home most of the week. I can also sit during the weekends, overnight or do stays when you go on a holiday. I always ensure maximum safety for my dogs. Depending on their personality, I remove objects they might chew / eat. I have them on the lead unless it is safe for them to be off and you give me prior permission. I ensure they have access to water at all times. I do not leave them alone at any time to ensure they are safe and are well taken care of.

“Isabelle is a lovely young lady! She came for a visit before doing a few “drop ins” for me. She sent me photos and communicated well to make sure she knew exactly what my puppy needed when she came. Highly recommend her. 100% will be booking Isabelle again for drop ins / walks.”

About: Hello, I’m Rebecca! ☺️ I joined Rover because I need my fix of furry friends! I grew up with pets, and I miss being around animals. I’m a 31 year old looking to pet sit alongside my full time job. I would love a little pup of my own, but due to my current housing situation, that isn’t possible (yet)! I do a lot of long walks, so would love the company. I’m happy to look after your pets in your home or take them out for a run, whatever the weather! I love dogs of all different sizes, ages, training and energy levels. I look forward to looking after your 4-legged friend! 🐶🐱🐾 I am a part-time dog-sitter but would love to fit in as many walks as possible! I keep my calendar open so I have the opportunity to move things around to help. I will only walk off-leash with your pup if I feel confident in doing so! I am unable to accommodate animals at my house but am happy to care for your pets at your home. I am happy to meet beforehand to run-through any needs you may have!
About: I have been around animals all my life, having cats, rabbits and a horse as pets in my childhood. I have gained experience of pet sitting over the last three years with cats, dogs, fish and ferrets. I love meeting new animals. I currently work part time so I have lots of availability for pet sitting around this. I do early morning and late visits on work days and have several full days free each week. I will care for you home and your pet whilst you are away. I am happy to look after plants as well. I will follow the instructions provided by yourself.
About: Dogs have always been a passion of mine, I have grown up with dogs and dreamed of the day I could have my very own! Whenever I can you’ll find me walking the dogs, playing, training, napping…. I have experience with a variety of animals, hamsters, ferret to cats & dogs, farm animals like sheep & cows, horses too. After recently changing careers I’m now available for any of hours the day and week to accommodate for any busy schedules clients may have & special requirements their pets may need.

About: I have grown up fostering dogs and since moving out of my parents I have rehomed a cocker spaniel that was in bad shape. I have brought her to the amazing, well mannered, highly trained girl she is now. She gets on with all dogs, though can be nervous. I believe that pets are part of the family and think they deserve to at least use our furniture, we are their whole world after all. I have extensive experience in training puppies and dogs alike and also pick up on any signs, body language and behavioural issues and can address these promptly to ensure a happy time for your pets. My mum is a dog groomer too so I have grown up knowing the ins and outs of many different breeds and temperaments in dogs. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly, being self employed allows me to take control of my own schedule. I love going for walks and hikes so what’s better than being able to also take pooches for long walks and adventures, as well as nice chilled time on the sofa. I have a large fenced garden and a cocker spaniel girl of my own to keep your furbaby company. We can crate our dog or your dog if needed. My mum is a dog groomer so I have picked up dog first aid from her, as well as tips and tricks to bathing tricky dogs too! I am in a large house so theres room for indoor play and cosy relaxation alike.
About: I have experience looking after dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, guinea pigs & hamsters over the past 15 years and have loved them since I was young. I enjoy being with animals and the company that they bring and welcome any type of dog or age! I have a 2 year old Miniature Dachshund, she is calm, has been brought up around children and gets on well with all dogs she meets on her walks or through other family members/friends that have dogs. We have recently returned from 3 months travelling Europe with our dog, we fell in love and cared for many stray dogs and cats whilst we were away. Now we have returned, this means we have lots of time to dedicate to your animals. My maximum number of dogs at once would be 3. Please note I am not trained in giving your pet any medication. I have an enclosed yard for animals to play in and live very close to a field with a long walk too where dogs can be let off the lead and run around exploring new places and faces! Please let me know if there is anything I need to know about your dog eg if your dog doesn't like being around other dogs or has special requirements and then I can plan for it! I can't wait to meet your furry friends! We have just returned from 3 months travelling Europe with our dog, we fell in love and cared for many stray dogs and cats whilst we were away. Now we have returned, this means we have lots of time to dedicate to your animals. Our days are mostly taken up exploring new places and walks. I have a fenced yard which the dogs can run freely in. Dogs are welcome on furniture (to owners discretion) and I am happy to follow any rules the owners may have with their dogs.
About: I have plenty of experience with different animals grooming, meditation dispensing, general day to day walking and entertaining playing around with pets. I would be happy to continue any basic training you have started or would like me to start. I can do some extra activities while looking after your pet, like washing up mess made by your pet, put rubbish bins out and bring back in. Bring letters in if you are way on holidays etc. I have looked after pets both energetic who love walks and playing around and also pets that just love a cuddle and to chill. I work in the healthcare sector so I do have an online DBS if you would like any background checks information. I am flexible as I work in the community so have plenty of spare time to both be at home and also to do house calls. I have a large house and garden which is fenced and safe also I live in a semi rural area so plenty of walks to go on. I am a flexible worker with lots of spare time and would love the opportunity to look after your pets. I am available mostly at any time as my work is flexible. I would look after them as my own and follow any instructions given from owner of the pet I am looking after. I have a secure and fenced property and big house for the animal to explore if they come to my house.

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 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.
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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
