We just booked Alex for the second time, and it's clear our (very needy!) cat absolutely loves him. Our cat demands a lot of attention, and Alex is so patient and caring — you can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with him. The daily updates and videos are such a treat — you can literally see how excited our cat is to hang out with Alex. It's such a relief knowing he's in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Megan cared for our two cats while we were away on holiday. She kept me updated and informed, took lovely pictures of them and they seemed to be comfortable around her. Thanks! ☺️ Would happily book again!

About: My rate is a bit lower right now since I'm new to the platform and want to start by earning your trust and building a strong track record of reviews. That said, please know I'll treat your pet with just as much love and care as I would my own :)) I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and it shows in how I care for them. The pug in my profile picture is a pet of my dearest friend, whom I've helped manage through an overweight condition: taking him to vet visits, planning his diet, and cooking him healthy homemade meals from scratch. I make a habit of feeding strays I pass on my way home. A few years ago, I also took in a stray dog who'd been abandoned, nursed him back to health, and helped find him a loving forever family, so I know what it takes to earn a nervous animal's trust. Whether it's a senior dog with special dietary needs or one who just needs a gentle hand, I bring patience, real experience, and genuine care to every furry friend I look after. I'm currently a Master's graduate looking for my next role, so I'm home most days and have a flexible schedule to offer. That means I can be fully present for walks, feedings, and playtime whenever your pet needs it. I'm happy to accommodate early mornings, late nights, or last minute requests, and I treat every stay like it's my own pet's routine: consistent, attentive, and never rushed. Your pet's safety and comfort come first. My home is a secure, calm environment , windows and doors stay closed, and anything harmful like cleaning supplies, medications, or toxic foods is kept well out of reach. Walks are always on-leash, and I stick to a consistent schedule for feeding and walks so your pet feels settled into a routine, not just passing through. I keep your vet's contact info and any care or medication instructions on hand at all times, and I'm prepared for basic first aid if anything comes up. Throughout the stay, I send photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pet is doing, even when you're away.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and I’ve always loved getting to know their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience caring for, walking and training my own dogs as well as friends’ dogs, from puppies through to older dogs and from confident characters to more anxious or reactive ones. I hold a Level 3 qualification in Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare and enjoy positive-reinforcement training, using clicker training and other reward-based techniques to teach plenty of fun tricks, as well as basic manners and boundaries, and to help dogs feel comfortable and confident in the world around them. I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter, helping with walking and enrichment for dogs who needed a little extra patience and understanding. What I particularly enjoy is working out what makes each dog tick. Some love chasing a ball, some want to sniff every blade of grass, some enjoy learning tricks and others need time and space to build confidence. I don’t believe every dog needs the same walk or the same approach. I believe a good walk should provide plenty of physical exercise, while also giving dogs opportunities to explore, sniff, play and use their brains. I like to incorporate training and enrichment naturally into our adventures, whether that’s practising recall, learning a new trick, playing a scent game or simply giving them time to investigate their surroundings. I’m insured for dog walking and take safety seriously, but I also want dogs to have a genuinely lovely time with me to come home happy, stimulated, tired and ready for a good sleep! I’m flexible during the week and can offer walks and drop-in visits at different times of day. Before we get started, I like to arrange a meet and greet so I can get to know you and your pet, learn about their routine and make sure we’re a good fit. For longer adventure walks, I’m happy to travel to a variety of local green spaces. Each outing is tailored to your dog, whether they love exploring, need plenty of exercise or prefer a gentler pace. I offer one-to-one walks or very small groups of 2–3 compatible dogs, giving each dog plenty of care, attention and time to enjoy themselves. Before heading out, I’ll take the time to learn about your dog’s personality, routines, recall and any worries or boundaries they may have. My aim is for every dog to feel safe, happy and comfortable in my care.

About: I’m available for boarding 7 days a week, so I can offer plenty of flexibility to fit around your plans. I’m happy to care for your cat throughout the week and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and company during their stay. I can follow their usual feeding and daily routine as closely as possible As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet somewhere you can trust. I have a calm, cat-friendly home where your cat can feel safe and comfortable. I’ll make sure windows and doors are secure, remove any potential hazards and give your cat plenty of space to settle in at their own pace. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully and treat your cat with the same love and attention I give my own cat, Penelope.

About: I have owned and cared for my Poodle since 2018. Although my dog is currently back home, my love for dogs has never changed. I miss spending time with dogs, so I decided to become a pet sitter. I care for only one dog at a time. This allows me to give each dog my full attention, care, and affection. I know every dog has its own routine and personality. I will follow your dog’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. I can administer oral medication if needed. Walks will be tailored to your dog’s age, health, and energy level. I do not have any other pets at home. Your dog will enjoy a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I will send regular photo and video updates throughout every stay. My goal is to help your dog feel happy, relaxed, and loved until you return. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog will have regular toilet breaks (4-6hours/ except night time), regular walks (more than 2 times, more than 30mins per walk), exercise, playtime, and companionship, and will never left alone. I care for only one dog at a time, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. I do not have any other pets at home. I will follow your dog’s usual routine, administer oral medication if needed, and send regular photo and video updates.

About: I provide a calm, clean, and stress-free environment where cats can settle in at their own pace. With over seven years of experience caring for cats, I understand feline behaviour and know how to care for both shy and affectionate cats. I pay close attention to their eating, litter box habits, and overall wellbeing, and I’m happy to follow any special care instructions. I also send regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time working from home, which allows me to give cats plenty of attention throughout the day. I can follow their usual routine for feeding, playtime, and rest, and I’m available on both weekdays and weekends with advance notice. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is clean, quiet, and suitable for cats to relax and feel secure. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, litter box cleaning, medication if required, and any special preferences. I always make sure doors and windows are secure and never leave pets unattended for long periods. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I usually only board one household’s cat(s) at a time, so they can enjoy a calm and stress-free environment.

Gareth has been so patient with my new rescue pocket bully Dooley who has the strength of a buffalo but the confidence of a mouse! He's not minded him nervous weeing all over the floor (and cleaned it up!) and taking it at Dooleys pace (a slow waddle). 🐌 adapting how he greets him in response, which has already made a difference! He has been flexible and even came to check-in on a day he no longer needed to, a visit which increased my confidence massively in Dooleys progress with new people! Gareth is great and would definately recommend him 😊

About: I’ve had animals since growing up including cats dogs, horses and rabbits, working with horses for about 10 years after my college course in equine care. I currently have 2 cats and I am a big fan of recuse animals especially cats who need a second chance at a loving home. I have looked after family and friend’s cats and dogs when they have been away and I always follow their care instructions very well. I’m currently not working, having finished working in a cafe after 9 years, this means I am very flexible around your cat sitting needs. I am an early bird so mornings are not a problem for me- I like being up and about early. I walk happily and can drive so transport is not a problem for me. I follow all instructions left for pets very carefully and always look out for any changes in behavior and would always ask questions beforehand if I was unsure. I will keep to your pet’s daily routine to help them feel safe and comfortable I am not in a position to have animals come to my house as my two cats would not be very happy about this!

About: I love pets! I have been around them since I was born, as my parents got a dog before having children. I’m sensitive snd have a sense of kinship with pets, being the youngest child and all!!😁 I would be happy to help you with your pet caring needs. I can: - Go on a nice walk with your doggo, so you can have a relaxed and exercised pet (who will not destroy your favorite shoes!) when you get home. - Board them in my home during the day - Caring visits and spending time with them in your home during the day - Stay with them in your home while you’re away Each pet has different needs and preferences, so I’ll be very happy to discuss their needs, and yours. Please feel welcomed to send any inquiries on how I can help you with your pet caring needs! I’m a postgraduate student in a flexible, writing-up phase. I’m available from 8 am to 10 pm for dog walks, can fit around your schedule, and am available short-notice. I’m respectful and a good listener, so will be aware to and uphold any guidance and boundaries you communicate. I aim to leave things as I found them in any home that I am in. I have a home with a garden which I can host your pet in. I ask that you supply their usual supplies (food, accessories, toys, bedding), so they can be comfortable away from home. As I have 2 cats in my home, who are still getting used to dogs, I will not be able to provide overnight boarding. However, I am happy to look after your pet in your home overnight.

About: I grew up with an anxious dog who’s always a little wary of other dogs, strangers and the vets. This didn’t stop BuBu from being my best friend growing up, as I’ve come to understand their need for space and trust. If you have a furry friend who’s a little anxious or gets nippy when scared, rest assured they will be under great care at our home. I have had plenty of experiences with small dogs in the past but would also be happy to provide walking services for bigger pups with good recall. My partner and I have also adopted a spoilt cat a couple years ago. You will see her in many of my pictures. Since then, Suki has made many friends (some of which you’ll see in the pictures as well). I work in the office from 8-5 from Mondays to Thursdays. On most days my partner will be home before 4pm. We are almost always around during term breaks and weekends and will be more than happy to accommodate the holiday seasons so you and your family can finally go on that trip you’ve been planning! We live in a pet friendly duplex and have space for your fur babies to warm up to the new environment at their own pace. Although we do have a cat at home , we will ensure that she is kept away from your baby and gradually introduce them if they tend to be quite shy.

About: I started by walking my own dog when I was 10, now I'm not in a position to have my own I love to meet and play with dogs and cats belonging to my family and friends. I'm friendly, caring and considerate, and quickly bond with animals. I have even become the second favourite person in the world to my sister's dog who doesn't give trust easily. I get a full on singing and dancing welcome every toner i visit! I have also built trust with an ex stray cat of my girlfriend, who has given meet kicks and likes to come for some fuss now and then. I work part time, between 8-10:30am and 2:30-4:30pm (or thereabouts) on weekdays, so i have plenty of time during the day to walk and care for your furry family. I'm also available dinner evenings and weekends too. I always leave other people's homes as I find them and maybe even a little better if there is time. I will make sure that your pet has water and anything else it reasonably needs for their health and safety before I leave.

About: I grew up in a family that always had pets, especially dogs of all sizes, from Shih Tzu to Mastiff. In 2020, we adopted a kitten named Bagheera, and later, in 2021, we welcomed a puppy named Baloo into our family. I love spending time with them, especially taking Baloo for long walks. However, as I have recently moved to Sheffield, I find myself missing my furry companions during the week. Therefore, I am looking for companions I can care for. I am experienced in providing care for both cats and dogs, including walks and playtime. I work full-time with office hours from 9 am to 5 pm. However, I am available for a drop-in visit during lunchtime at 1:00 pm, as well as before and after my office hours. I'm also comfortable with doing sleepovers at the pet's home." I can provide all the necessary safety to your pets without compromising their play and walk times. I will make sure your dog is on the lead during walks.

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.

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.
