“Emma has been absolutely awesome. She has looked after my furball so well and I felt safe to have her in my home. Nothing was too much trouble I just wish I'd found Emma sooner. Definitely will rebook and recommend.”
“It’s been so wonderful having Shani take care of my cat and kitten - she has been really thoughtful and considerate of their needs and bringing toys for them to play and explore. She sent me lots of pictures and it was such a weight off my mind to know she was there and they were being looked after.”
“Devon was absolutely brilliant with Kuda. He was reliable, calm, and clearly confident with dogs, which put me at ease straight away. Kuda was well cared for, happy, and relaxed during the visits, and communication throughout was great. I really appreciated the updates and the care shown — it’s clear Devon genuinely loves what he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“I highly recommend Donna; first of all she is absolutely lovely, and she took great care of our kitties. We got photos and updated for every visit which we really appreciated and have already asked her to cat sit for us again :) ”
“Super grateful for Hiu Yee doing a drop in visit given that we booked so last minute. She sent photos whilst she visited Koda and made us feel that Koda was well looked after - thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of a range of different dog breeds ranging from large to small. Some of these dogs have been nervous or reactive to other dogs as well as some with people. :) I am currently completing a PhD focusing on cancer research so I am fairly flexible during the week and available the majority of weekends. I would love to meet your doggies 😊 I have a 6 foot fenced garden all the way around expect for the neighbours which is about 3/4 foot. The garden is fairly big with space to play fetch.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 10 and have always been involved in caring for them. I’ve helped raise and train puppies, including feeding, walking, playtime, and teaching basic routines. As all of my family have dogs, I’m very comfortable around different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand how important it is to give them patience, attention, and care. I currently work full time, but have Thursday and Sundays off with the chance of finishing the rest of the days at 15:30pm. From Thursday to Sunday I can board the dogs from 5pm. I have a large outdoor space at the back of my flat which is perfect for dogs to safely enjoy freedom, playtime, exercise, and relaxation. I will provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and well looked after. We have space in the flat for a crate if this is what your dog needs.
“Yifan was great, appreciated the updates on the dogs and the photos. They clearly really liked her. Very helpful with how flexible she was meaning we could push back our booking till the evening since were going out later. Great communication and felt very comfortable having her pop in to keep our dogs company for an hour and help them stay cool.”
“Rhiannon looked after my 2 cats for long weekend, and they were very happy and content we I got home. Visits were regular, communication and great, lots of photos of the cats playing :-)”
About: I've taken care of family and friend's pets of all kinds for almost 10 years now! I've grown up in a house where I'm constantly around animals, so have experience taking care of different types of pets every day. I'm often asked to care for friend's and families pets when they're away, and have grown a lot of trust in them to care for their animals to the best of my ability! I've just completed college, so I'm home constantly and will always be available for whenever you or your animal needs me, as I have no other obligations as of now! I have a fenced off, animal safe garden, as well as a clean, safe home for your pet to have free range of! When house sitting, I provide overnight services in order to ensure your pets routine is kept as close to normal as possible in order to reduce any anxiety from both you, and them!
“Kerenza was a great help taking care of our cat Sushi when we had to be away for the day while she was recovering from surgery with a feeding tube and medication. Her vet training meant that we could depend on her to administer the food and medication properly. It took so much of the stress out of having to be away for the day. I really appreciated Kerenza’s knowledge, reliability, and caring approach and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
About: I grew up with dogs from a very young age, & currently have a large range of dogs in the family (from 10kg - 40kg!), including reactive dogs (I do not have any reactive dogs in my home). I have a very friendly, bouncy, & fun loving 2 year old Sheepadoodle, George. I have looked after dogs of all ages (from 8 weeks, to 15 years old). Would love to meet your pups & give them the attention they deserve! 😊 I work from home full time, so can be very flexible with drop-ins. I can generally work around most bookings, provided I have notice to swap things around. If you need a last minute drop in, let me know & I’m sure I can make it work 😊 I drive so have some flexibility on distance. It should go without saying, but I will give your home the upmost respect, & cater to your dog’s needs.
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing, and I could not have asked for a better first experience with a cat sitter. She took such wonderful care of my cat for three days, and it was clear from the updates that my cat was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Rebecca sent me daily messages and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was also able to chat with her easily throughout, and she was always kind, reassuring, and responsive. What made her even more special was how much extra care she gave beyond just looking after my cat. She also took care of the stray kitties outside my house that I feed, as well as the birds and squirrels. She really went above and beyond, and I was genuinely so happy with everything she did. She even came the day before for a meet and greet to see everything properly, meet my cat, and understand exactly what needed to be done. That really showed how thoughtful and dedicated she is. I am very, very happy with Rebecca and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and truly wonderful cat sitter.”
About: Hello! I am a Nottingham Trent University student raising money for Meningitis Research Foundation. I grew up with dogs (Jack Russell terriers, a golden lab, and a German pointer mix) and I was a dog walker for about a year many years ago. I am also a runner, so if you would prefer I take your dogs for a run, just let me know! I’d love to get to know you and your doggies :) I currently work part time at an art studio and am studying for my masters in fine arts at NTU, but my schooling is quite flexible and my work is less than 20 hours per week so I am able to find time around these responsibilities. For walks I care for the dogs by allowing them to stop and explore when they want and by bringing water and a small bowl for if they get thirsty on a longer walk. I also will take the dogs for a run if that is something you would like. For dog sitting I will let the pups out every couple hours or when they want, I will feed them when needed, fix them with clean water, take them for a walk at least once per day, and of course play with them and give them lots of pets
“Aliyah, looked after our cat for two weeks with drop-in visits while we were on holiday, leaving food and water plus also dealt with the post. Our cat wasn't used to visitors but he took to Aliyah really quickly and there were lots of cuddles. Vary happy and would certainly recommend.”
About: Hello, I am the owner of the fluffiest, cutest little Shih Tzu, Louie. I have always had dogs and offer to look after people's fur babies as I simply love it and so louie can have a play date. I work from home and flexible with my hours so I can work around what’s required. Louie is the friendliest little dog and he loves kids and all people and vice versa. I live in house with a fenced garden. I would love to have any dogs/pups around that can keep my little boy company and me too. I would treat them as I do Louie so I can assure you that your dog will be given a lot of attention and care (and lots of cuddles :). There is a park right next to my building where I take Louie so it is a great place. I make sure to take dogs for quite a few walks to the park so you be sure that your fur baby will be treated well and will be well looked after with plenty of exercise. I am only looking to have small-medium well behaved dogs as I would be more comfortable walking them. I also only look after 2 additional dog so I only have 3 maximum in my house. I would be happy to help answer any questions you may have, so feel free to drop me a message. Have a lovely day Yakshi I work from home on my business so I wouldn’t leave your pets on their own. Louie has made some dog best friends through this 😊 (he loves daschunds 😀). I have a good sized fenced garden for dogs to run around and play if needed. I walk louie 3 times a day so yours will be well exercised. I can definitely do more walks too or less as per what is required.
About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from the dogs in a different room I am currently off work until the middle of July, so I will be at home most of the day. This means I can provide regular walks, plenty of playtime, toilet breaks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date
“Clara looked after and fed my three cats when I was away for 2 weeks! She sent daily photos to check in and made our holiday more enjoyable knowing they were getting fed and were in safe hands! Definitely recommend:)”
About: Hello! We are Vale and Davide, Italians by birth, dog-obsessed by choice!

Our goal? To build a deep bond of trust with your dog, making sure they feel loved and secure on every single adventure. Your dog’s happiness is safe with us!

Yifan was great, appreciated the updates on the dogs and the photos. They clearly really liked her. Very helpful with how flexible she was meaning we could push back our booking till the evening since were going out later. Great communication and felt very comfortable having her pop in to keep our dogs company for an hour and help them stay cool.
Second time we have booked with Laura and I’m so happy with the service she provides 😁 my cat is sometimes on the shy side with other people so it’s lovely to receive photo updates throughout the visit of her playing. Excellent communication, punctual and friendly! Would defo recommend
Youngkyung has looked after our cat Ava three times now, once at her flat and twice as drop in visits at our house. Ava adores her and was totally relaxed at her place, and seems to love the fuss she gets during drop in visits. She’s well looked after and we get loads of photos and updates. Ava will absolutely be being looked after by Youngkyung again :)
We've used Kit for three holidays now and it's no exaggeration to say that I can't even imagine how any other cat-sitter could be better! For each and every visit she sends an update that is usually one full phone screen of text that tells us what the cats were doing when she arrived, what and how much food they ate and what they were doing when she left! This always comes with lots of photos and videos of her giving time and attention to the cats to make sure that they're happy. Part of our daily routine on holiday now is sitting on a balcony somewhere reading Kit's updates and just being able to relax completely knowing that our fur-babies are safe and happy and we can't thank her enough for that 😊
I was so happy to see the lovely picture Devon took with a very happy Dice. Thank you so much Devon for looking after our big baby. Much appreciated. I know where to come for the next time if I need a dog sitter and I would not hesitate to recommend you. Many thanks. Mary
Our first time with Cat in a Flat and we hit the jackpot! From the moment we met Abi we knew our lads were in safe hands and so it proved. She quickly set up a great routine for Jet and Cooper and receiving cuddles from them showed how much they could trust her! The photos showed all this! We’d like to use Abi again and we’ll also let our cat keeping friends know about her! Receiving all this meant we also had a great time not having to think about how the lads were getting on. Abi, thanks ever so!!

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.
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 Sherwood 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
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 Sherwood 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. 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.
