About: Three years ago, while studying at university in South Africa, I was a dog sitter for the Canine Club. Now, in the UK, I work in marketing during the week, but on weekends, I still love to dive back into dog walking and pet care whenever I can! I work full-time as a local marketing manager at the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts—three days in-office, two days from home. Weekends, though, are completely free for all your pet-sitting needs! 💕 I’d ensure they’re safe by providing all the love, care, and attention I’d give my own pets, while carefully following any instructions or briefs the owner provides. Your home and your pet would be in trusted, attentive hands!

About: I have taken care of pets in both my professional and personal life for over 20 years. I love interacting with different animals and getting to show them lots of love and care. As I am a stay at home mum I can dedicate lots of time and care to your furry friend and my schedule is flexible. I am confident in caring for animals with extra needs such as medication, injections, tooth brushing, grooming as well as being very understanding of behavioural needs such as separation anxiety, nervousness around other dogs etc. Due to my previous career I have a good understanding of breed traits and personalities. I’m currently an house wife with three children and could look after your pet all week. My eldest child is at school and my middle child is at nursery two days a week with my youngest at home with me - all are brilliant around animals. I have a fenced garden and there is a secure dog walking routes near to my house. I am happy to accept crates to create a safe space for your dog to visit if they are worried or stressed along with relaxing remedies. I would love to be able to take your furry friend further afield so car crate/harness would be great.

About: I may not have done pet sitting and dog walking professionally before, but I’ve always been a true dog lover at heart. Dogs have been part of my life for years, and I understand how much they mean to their families. Back home I have a lovely and friendly 11y old Pitbull (Hércules) who has taught me so much about care, patience and unconditional love. I’m also a proud dad to my 5y old son, Henry, who is absolutely crazy about dogs and has grown up around them with kindness and respect. Your pet will be treated with the same love, attention and care as my own, whether it’s for a walk, a cuddle, or company while you’re away Pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work as a General Manager in hospitality, which means I’m organised, reliable and used to responsibility. My rota gives me structured time off during the week and some mornings/afternoons available, which I’m looking to dedicate to dog walking and pet sitting. I’m exploring pet care not just as a side hustle, but as something I genuinely enjoy and would love to potentially grow into long term. Working with animals feels natural to me, and I’m excited about the possibility of gradually building experience in this field. I see this as the start of something meaningful, while still bringing the professionalism, commitment and work ethic I’ve developed in management. In an owner’s home, I always follow instructions carefully…feeding routines, walk times, medication if needed, and any specific behaviours to be aware of. I make sure doors, gates and leads are secure at all times and provide regular updates for peace of mind. If caring for a pet in my home, the environment is calm, clean and safe. I only take on pets I can give proper attention to, ensuring they feel comfortable and supervised at all times. As a long-time dog owner myself, I understand how important routine, patience and affection are. Your pet will be treated with the same care and respect as my own.

About: I am a genuine animal lover with a passion for providing pets with the same love, care, and attention they receive at home. I’ve had cats of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and ensuring every pet feels safe and comfortable. I have also looked after both cats and dogs for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, administering lots of cuddles, and keeping them company while their owners are away. I am reliable, caring, and treat every pet as if they were my own, giving owners peace of mind that their beloved companions are in safe and loving hands. I’m currently on leave from work so am very flexible and can give the time and need for your pets. I can also be flexible on weekends ! I have a two bedroom apartment , totally safe and fenced. I have cat toys a post and a litter box, currently my cats are away and staying with family for the rest of the year so happy to accommodate !

About: I am very confident around dogs and other animals of most sizes. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I grew up with dogs in my family home (Irish Wolfhounds), and have regularly been around friends’ dogs and pets. On an ad-hoc basis I am relied upon for drop-in visits for a friend’s dog while they are out for the day. I also occasionally look after my mum’s dog, which either requires me to stay overnight at her house (in Somerset), or Otto comes and stays with me. Care includes, feeding, administering medication, and walks. I am able to provide this service to new and existing clients, I’ll just need access, and any care instructions provided ahead of time. I am happy to provide short walks within the local area, and drop-in visits for toilet breaks and feeding. I have recently been made redundant from my at-home marketing role, and will be starting university in the autumn. I am a mum of two young boys so I am well used to chaos. I love the outdoors and being outside. I have recently been made redundant from my remote marketing position. I am a mum of two young boys, so during term-time I am committed to the school run in the morning and afternoon. Around this I am pretty flexible. During the holidays I will still be flexible but do note that short notice bookings might be declined based on childcare cover. In the autumn I am due to start university and I will update my availability in late September. For drop-in visits, I will access your home using the key left for me unless other instructions are provided. I will let your dog out for a toilet break, check they are okay, and refill water bowls as necessary. I am happy to stay a little bit longer to make a fuss of your dog before I leave. I am happy also to leave your dog with food if required. For walking, I can collect your dog and walk locally. Until I build trust with your dog, I will insist on walking your dog on a lead. I will drop your dog back home afterwards, and if you are not home, I will check their water bowl before I leave.

About: I am a dedicated animal lover who understands the responsibility and true meaning of care with owning a pet! 
Growing up I had three dogs, multiple cats- one of which I still have now, guinea pigs, snakes, fish and a budgie called Bruce.
 My passion for animals led me to successfully achieve an animal management level 3 diploma in 2019. After working in retail for a few years, I soon found my feet 6 years ago at a local doggy daycare and boarding! I am now the general manager there and I absolutely love every aspect of it! 
I have great knowledge targeting dog and cat behaviours, needs and body languages. I'm used to feeding, administering medication, basic grooming such as teeth cleans, baths, brushing and nails. I am also trained in basic obedience training. I am very confident and widely experienced in dog walking- including up to 4 dogs at once.
Alongside my career I have also house/ pet sit friends and family cats and dogs over the years and have found great joy in not only helping but providing a high level of care and love towards their fur babies. I work full time as a manager at a dog daycare/ boarding. I do 9-5 Mon- Fri and more than happy to house/ pet sit during the week and weekend but I am unable to check in during the day, however I am able to work half days if needed. I am used to following any instructions you give. Even happy to help train dogs, walk them, create enrichment activities for them. I ensure fresh water is down 24/7 and that they are fed- even if food needs defrosting. I’m happy to clean litter trays if needed, administer medication, put bins out, poo pick, tidy up after myself after I leave, anything you needed done. Working the job I do I am hot on safety- closing doors, door barging, choking, overheating etc

Burnham, SL1

About: Growing up I was often surrounded by animals; hamsters, rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats, and even a gecko. With my dad being a vet, I’d occasionally find myself waiting in his staff room after school with the staff dogs, or helping with those being left for monitoring overnight. This affinity for animals has followed me well into adulthood, now working as a pet and wildlife photographer! Though my puppy experience is limited to my own and a few friends, adult and senior dogs are where my skills lie. Sadly a year ago I had to say goodbye to my 17 year-old border terrier, who was my whole world for a long time. Working as a photographer, my schedule is pretty flexible, with time most days for drop-ins/walks and with a few days notice I can cater to overnight stays. While I am flexible with work, I can have jobs come up at short notice which generally isn’t an issue as long as the dogs in my care are okay with being alone for a few hours (typically 2, but occasionally up to 3) After an initial consultation, I tailor my service to what is required for the dogs in questions. I only offer visits and home-stays; ensuring your dogs are at ease in their own environment

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic large breeds to affectionate small ones, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of each dog. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I've had the pleasure of raising and nurturing dogs of all breeds, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My passion for animals, combined with my commitment to providing safe and enriching environments, makes me a reliable and caring companion for your furry friend. I currently own a 10-month-old husky/shepherd mix named Loki, and he is such an adorable boy with the sweetest temperament. I work from home most of the time, which allows me to be present for your dog throughout the day. Even on the occasional days when I need to go into the office, there is always a family member at home, ensuring that your dog will never be left alone and will always have companionship and care. I have a 10ft fenced backyard with a nature reserve close by to take your pup on engaging walks in nature. I also have my own pup Loki who loves playing with other dogs of all sizes and is extremely welcoming to new dogs and people within the household. Loki is crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night if you need your dog to be crated if needed.

About: Loving “dogmother” since childhood. I’ve owned 3 cavaliers, a lab and now a fun loving 6 year old Maltipoo! I’ve also cared for a number of different breeds, daschshund, pug, Cavapoo, English Spaniel and Jack Russell. Spent a great deal of time training dogs. Currently working remotely/flexibly and enjoying exploring The Royal Borough with my pooch. We would love a little friend to join us giving you peace of mind while you are at work. I can do most week days, plus the odd weekend. Depending on availability. Small to medium sized dogs would be best suited to spend time with Ted, who is super friendly and loves to play. I am available for day care, walks and visits. I have an enclosed garden in Windsor and loads of wonderful walks nearby. There will usually just be two dogs including mine, but a maximum of 3 in my care and on walks so your fur baby will have lots of care and attention. I’ve had elderly pets so used to giving medication, but they do need to be house trained. I’m currently taking time out, so fully committed to any pooches in my care. Whether it’s a visit, a walk or full day care, I can be relied upon to treat your beloved pooch just as well as you do. I have a fully fenced/walled garden with two gates to get out, so security isn’t an issue. I live near some of the most gorgeous walks in Berkshire and if your pooch is energetic, they will have a ball. If they are more home body’s there are plenty of comfy areas and shady spots to chill out!

About: I’ve had pets all my life and they’ve always been members of the family. I truly care about them and love them and I think they deserve the same care as human beings. I work from home and I am very flexible with time, so I can fulfill the need of the pets and their owners very easily. I have a cat, so I prefer going to pets owners homes and look after the pets there, as cats could be difficult to keep in the same home without a proper introduction.

About: I’ve always been around dogs and naturally took on caring for them, whether that was helping out friends, neighbours, or family. Over time, I’ve gotten used to different personalities. From really energetic dogs who love to play to quieter ones who just want company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and not stressed when their owners are away. I’m someone who pays attention to the little things and treats every pet like they’re my own. I’m available for pet care through drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting in the owner’s home. My schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including weekends with notice. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely, ensure doors and gates are secure, and give regular updates for peace of mind. I do not host pets at my own home.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets - a cat and a Saint Bernard who shaped some of my happiest childhood memories. Later, I had my own beloved Pomeranian, who may not have lived a long life, but lived a very loved one. Because of these experiences, caring for pets comes naturally to me and from the heart. Friends regularly trust me to care for and sit their pets, knowing how much love, patience, and attention I give. I truly believe dogs are our best friends and often the best version of humans - loyal, kind, and full of joy. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, routines, and emotional needs, whether that means playful energy, calm companionship or extra reassurance. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I can plan my time around walks, feeding, and check-ins and make sure pets get consistent care and attention. I follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s usual routine. I keep the space clean and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I pay attention to how they behave and adjust care if needed, whether that means more activity or more quiet time. When I’m caring for a pet, my goal is simply that they are safe, calm, and looked after properly.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have over 10 years’ experience caring for them. I had a Chihuahua for 11 years and currently have a 3-year-old Dachshund, so I’m very familiar with different breeds, personalities and needs. I’ve not only owned dogs myself but have also regularly cared for and looked after family and friends dogs including Jack Russells, Cavapoos, Saffordshire Bull Terrier and Labradors. I’m confident with walking, feeding and general care, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m reliable, patient and will treat your dog like my own. I genuinely love walking dogs and will tailor each walk to what suits them best, whether they’re energetic or prefer a slower pace. I work full-time during the week, so I’m mainly available for evening walks, weekends, and dog sitting. I’m flexible in the evenings and can also help with weekend daytime walks or overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule where possible and can also help with occasional or last-minute bookings. I always prioritise your dog’s safety, comfort and routine. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, including feeding, walking routines and any special requirements. I’ll keep you updated with messages or photos so you have peace of mind. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and will make sure your dog feels safe, secure and well cared for at all times.

About: My family always had dogs while I was growing up and I have recent experience (2020-24) with my own senior and a young Breton Spaniel. I am positive, responsible, love walking and just adore dogs! I am currently working part-time on some, but not all, weekends and have lots of free time in the day and overnight. I would also keep your home safe. I will look after your dog in your own home just like you do, following your schedule of walking and feeding and giving lots of belly rubs and pets too!

About: I have no children but I do have a kitten. I helped bring up my sister’s puppy-turned-dog during Covid, I regularly look after my sister’s dog for days and hours. I take her for walks, feed her, play with her and drop her off. I also sometimes look after my best friend’s cat when she is at work or on holiday. I am flexible with weekends, and week days I work hybrid so I am home most of the week - aside from Tuesday and Thursday, which are my office days. ☺️ I keep door closed and always use lead when outside. The area is usually gated outside, and I have space for a crate if needed. I have a few green areas next to me. I live basically in town, with non-main road access in too for particularly vulnerable puppies.

Francesca was an absolute delight! She communicated clearly throughout, was always easy to get hold of, and was incredibly kind and patient with Ziggy. He clearly loved every minute of her visits and was so comfortable with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and will definitely be rebooking with Francesca in the future. Highly recommend!

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.

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 Slough 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!

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.

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

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.

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.
