Lola went above and beyond when she looked after our cat while we were on holiday recently. She went round to the house early one day to bring him inside because it was raining. She went out and bought him more food when I had miscalculated how much we needed. I received detailed daily updates and photos and can see how much Toby loved spending time with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Lola again or recommend her :)

Very good cat sitter. My cat was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well looked after. I received regular updates, photos and messages while I was away. Highly recommended.

We were really happy leaving Otto with Jessica. He ate all his food which he wouldn't do if he was anxious, and clearly loved having her attention. It was so reassuring to know she was with him. Will definitely book her again.

About: My partner Katie and I have owned dogs all our lives and have experience in puppy training and senior dog care. Exclusive access to a secure 5 acre field and plenty of countryside walks. There’s nothing we love more than being outside and active with our pets, and we’d be honoured to take care of yours! As a couple we split our time between working at home and London so at least one person is always at home. When looking after dogs, we plan our days around their well-being, catering to their needs and enjoyment. We have a secure garden in a small bungalow, no stairs to protect old or very young legs! Opposite is a securely fenced 5 acre field with private access for dogs to run off lead whenever they wish. No other animals or children live with us in the property.

About: Hi, I’m a big dog lover who’s happiest when I’m outside with a wagging tail by my side. I love long walks, silly games, and giving plenty of cuddles. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy who needs to burn off energy or a gentle senior who just wants company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I work from home and have lots of flexibility, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ve grown up with dogs, so I understand their needs and routines, whether it’s playtime, walks, or just company. I’m available for walking, or drop-ins during weekdays. When I’m out with your dog, their safety is my top priority. I stick to safe walking routes, keep them on lead unless you’ve given permission, and always bring water, treats, and waste bags.

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals through my work in veterinary clinics and my current part-time role at a boarding kennel. I also grew up on a dairy farm, so I've been surrounded by animals from a young age and have developed a genuine love and appreciation for animals of all kinds. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and caring for them has only strengthened my passion for animal welfare. While dogs are my area of expertise, I'm confident and comfortable looking after a wide variety of pets. I'm currently studying Occupational Therapy, which has further developed my compassion, patience, and understanding of individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give both you and your pet complete peace of mind. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time after classes for pet care, walks, and playtime. I'm also available during most holidays, so your furry friends will get the attention and love they deserve:) I also have a dog of my own who means the world to me! Most mornings start with a walk through the forest and a game of fetch, so I know just how important exercise, enrichment, and quality time are for keeping dogs happy and healthy! ;)

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets with different needs every day. I share my home with a dachshund and a cat, so I understand the importance of providing loving, attentive care tailored to each animal’s personality. I also help care for my son’s service dog, including daily walks and maintaining the routine and discipline that are essential for a working dog. This has given me valuable experience in consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding how important structure is for a dog’s wellbeing. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, prefers a quieter environment, or needs extra patience and attention, I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care during the week and on weekends. I am available for daytime visits, walks, and drop-in care, and can often accommodate different schedules. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will provide reliable, consistent care to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Please note that I do not offer overnight sitting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel secure and relaxed in a familiar environment. For cats, I make sure their environment is calm, safe, and stress-free. I pay close attention to details such as secure doors and windows, litter tray cleanliness, fresh water, and feeding routines. I also take time to read their behaviour and body language so I can interact with them in a way that builds trust and helps them feel comfortable during my visits. For walks, I ensure dogs are always safely leashed and walked in appropriate areas, paying close attention to their behaviour, surroundings, and individual needs. I have experience with maintaining routine and consistency through caring for a service dog, so I understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats from a very young age. I have a degree in agriculture and have worked on farms and livery yards so happy to look after a wide group of animals. I have experience with reactive dogs and also dogs who like to have their own space around dogs they don’t know. I’m going back to university in September so will have flexibility, currently available for weekends. I live on a small holding and have experience with lots of animals, we have fully secured fields, dog friendly house but equally happy to do drop ins and walks from your house. I have fenced areas of my garden and a very well behaved dog. Although I’d prefer to look after your dog in your own home as we do have a reactive dog too.

About: I am confident with dogs, as I’ve grown up with small dogs and then Weimaraners and now I am often with my partner’s Working Cocker Spaniel with and without my children. I did used to help care for a Pointer a few years ago on Borrow My Doggy whilst the owner worked a couple of days a week. I would walk the dog and then the dog would come back with me for some company. Not sure how many years to put as ‘years of experience.’ With borrow my doggy I would say a year and longer with a family Dog and now my partner’s dog. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work around my family commitments, meaning I can offer dog walking, day care and overnight stays during both weekdays and weekends. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make sure every pet receives plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection and one-to-one attention while they’re with me. I am based between Wotton, Surrey and Sevenoaks. In Wotton there is a large fenced grass garden and our friendly female Working Cocker Spaniel lives here. In Sevenoaks - there is a small paved garden that is fenced.

About: I've owned cats from a young age and have been familiar with various breeds of dog (ranging from dachshunds to akitas) thanks to my lovely family and friends! I don't have any specialist animal training but I am a calm and patient animal lover who has been relied on previously to feed, walk, and play with people's pets. I believe it is very important when pet sitting to engage with the animal I visit so I ensure they eat all their food, have some play time, and are generally as happy as possible while you are away. I have recently graduated from university and and do not yet have a full-time job so I have plenty of time to ensure your pets are looked after to the best of my ability! I am respectful and considerate of other people's homes and privacy and I would treat your property with care by leaving it as clean and tidy as I found it and abiding by any house rules. I'm very careful when it comes to dealing with house cats that are not allowed outside and would be able to crate dogs if necessary.

About: Hi there! My name is Ariadne, I’m a PhD student working from home, and I’m super excited to have the opportunity to take care of your best friend! I definitely understand that life doesn’t always run to schedule - maybe you’re stuck at work late for a meeting, or you’re planning a holiday and want to make sure your pets stay comfortable in their own environment; that’s exactly why John and I are here. We offer personalized, knowledgeable, and friendly care, giving you complete peace of mind that both your pets and your home are safe, secure, and well looked after while you’re away. We provide house sitting (overnight stays), as well as daycare, walks, and drop-in visits, either at your place or ours (within a reasonable distance). We live in a flat with easy access to a charming woodland with year-round walking paths. Whether you need weekly daytime support or someone dependable to stay with your pets while you travel, we tailor our care to their routines, personalities, and needs. We have over 3 years of combined experience through Rover (daycare and boarding) and TrustedHouseSitters (house and pet sitting), with entirely positive ratings across both platforms. We’re comfortable with a wide range of animals, temperaments, and care requirements, and we pride ourselves on communication, reliability, and treating every pet as if they were our own. I (Ariadne) have personally grown up around rescue dogs my entire life, and have been taking care of dogs generally for about 12 years. I have used Rover in both the UK and the US and maintained a 5-star review with several repeat clients in both. I am very capable of handling all sorts of furry companions from miniscule to giant, young to old, and sociable to territorial/reactive. Dog, cat, bird, and reptile friendly! Hey, I’m John! I am an environmental economist with hybrid hours. I have several years of experience with dogs, rabbits, and lizards and am keen to help out in any way I can. Especially when there are multiple pets to care for, in our experience having two people allows us to give your pets the individual attention they deserve. With that said, we are aware that some dogs have specific handling needs or gender preferences, so we’re happy for just one of us to take care of them. We also have a small car that we are happy to use for short excursions - dog seatbelts included of course! I (Ariadne) am a PhD student and as such my work days are extremely flexible and I have the freedom to work from anywhere. I (John) have a flexible hybrid job and can also work from anywhere. We’re happy to follow the instructions and preferences set by the owner. The main focus is to make your pet feel safe and that they can trust us. We are always careful to not force ourselves onto your animal, we prefer to let them come to us and check us out on their own time.

About: As a family we have had cats and dogs all our lives. Since our bundle of joy Saskia came along we have found new levels of dog walking fun in all weathers in our local parks where we meet so many amazing pups and their owners. Our Shih Tzu Saskia is super friendly with dogs and cats and will adapt to your pets needs whether they want to play all day or simply chill. I also have friends and family who are experienced dog carers too. We just love being with these amazing fluffy friends. 😀 I am available flexible hours as I am a self employed. I like to be outdoors on walks a fair amount especially when the weather permits, however we are out in all weather's as long as it suits the pets needs. I walk our pup in the beautiful countryside by our home and other local parks daily. We also have a secure garden and a car to drive to other locations. Our pup and feline are used to being around other cats and dogs. I can be with the your pets at all times where required.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Sevenoaks pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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 Sevenoaks 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. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
