“Freddie had a wonderful time. He was so well looked after. I got lots of pictures and videos which was really lovely. The setting was perfect for Freddie. Would definitely recommend”
“The best dog-sitter I've ever had. Potato had an amazing time, and will be going again as soon as I need a sitter again. 10 stars, 5 isnt enough. He didn't want to come home!”
“Lemon, our 9months old girl Westie stayed with Qiaoqian and Charlie for nearly 2weeks. We couldn’t have picked better sitters, we received per day 2-3 updates in the form of pictures and videos and lemon really had fun and had been properly taken care of, she came back home bright and joyful. We packed a lot of things due to the duration of stay and it was all packed up nicely during pick up; I had also left a note asking her eyes boogers to be cleaned everyday if possible and that she can be a bit mouthy during the process😅, they have indeed done so. I’m so grateful to have found qiaoqian and Charlie and would recommend them to anyone who’s looking for the best care for their fur babies.”
About: 🐾🩵🐾💛 Hi, I’m Sophie- your local friendly, experienced and fully insured pet sitter 🐾🩵🐾💛 I have lived my whole life surrounded by animals and have cared for a wide range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish and reptiles. I offer pet sitting, dog walking and home visits and bring a wealth of experience, from young to older pets. 🐶🐱🐕🐇🐈🐹🐩🦮🐕🦺🐈⬛🐰 Our home is full of animal love, with Bunny, our sweet French Bulldog, Balu our bouncy boxer pup and three sociable cats who are well used to sharing their space with others! 🏥 As a registered nurse, compassion, patience and attention to detail are second nature to me. I bring these same qualities to the care of every animal, ensuring they always feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I was once a pet owner using Rover, where I met an amazing sitter who has now become a friend. That has inspired me to offer the same level of care and peace of mind to others 🩵 ✨✨✨My promise is : to treat every pet as if they are my own and provide a calm, loving, home from home environment so you can relax and enjoy regular photos and updates, knowing your fur babies are in safe hands.✨✨✨ There is always someone at home to provide lots of attention, companionship, walks, feeding, playtime and reassurance. Every pet has their own personality, routine and needs and I take the time to get to know each one individually so they feel comfortable and secure while their humans are away. I will always aim to replicate their usual home routine as closely as possible. 💕I provide a safe and loving home environment where pets are part of the family! My home is very pet friendly, with a large secure high walled garden, safety gates, lots of stimulating toys and a comfy crate for dogs who enjoy having their own cosy space, and a cat tree for climbing, relaxing and play. Cleanliness, safety, patience and supervision are always a priority and I treat every animal as an individual- taking time to build trust, love and a genuine connection 💕
“We booked Gemma at the last minute for a 1 night stay for our 7month old pup Woody and communication was quick and simple. Woody seemed to have a lovely time with the family, it was his first time with a dog sitter and when we picked him up he seemed so happy and comfortable at Gemma's it was lovely to see. Gemma kept me up to date with updates on how Woody was getting on which gave us peace of mind and they had kindly packed everything up including his crate ready for pickup. Highly recommend!”
“Rufus remained calm and content during the stay with Liliana, and she was regularly providing updates 2 times a day. I have never seen Rufus this happy with someone else than family, it was a perfect home away from home for him and 16 days seemed like a dream come true, I was so assured that he is in good hands that my trip was relaxed and productive. I would not hesitate to recommend Liliana or to rebook Rufus many times with her. Highly recommended!”
“It was our first time leaving our cat away from home, but we had no choice as we had a family wedding out of town. We came across Simi and felt she would be good with our cat. Glad we made the right decision! Simi kept us updated and our cat ended up warming to her in the end. Everything was smooth and efficient. Our cat also looked happy and well looked after when we picked her up. Grateful for Simi and I would definitely recommend and be using her again!”
“Dan Li was amazing, she's a very loving and caring person, she's just wonderful. Se was messaging me frequently to let me know how my doggy was doing, sending lots of pictures and videos. Dan Li was checking on his poop making sure everything was okay, she was checking he was eating okay without me asking which was very appreciated. I couldn't really recommend her enough and I will definitely use her services again as her care was exceptional!”
“Paulina looked after our ‘old boy’ whilst we were far away on holiday. He was given lots of care, attention and love and seemed in no hurry to leave them when we went to collect him! Paulina was careful to follow our instructions about his diet, medication and funny little ways regarding walks, favourite treats (raw carrots, ice lollies) & coping with his separation anxiety. Paulina and her family ensured that one of them was always around for him to be close to and he settled down most contentedly.”
“It was the first time for us to leave her in another place. Shannon was very comforting and caring when we met her. We got lovely pictures during her stay. We are trilled to find Shannon and relax now as we have a second home for Hope. We will definitely bring her back for many play dates.”
“My dog was very well looked after by prag and family. I was given regular updates and photos which was really nice as you worry about leaving them. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again.”
“Jiale was great during Vinyls stay, updates were provided constantly which was amazing to see how much fun Vinyl was having. He was constantly taken on walks, fussed and had so much fun, he had the best time and I was very pleased with the service received. Thanks again Jiale.”
“Diana was so professional and constantly updated us with Baileys progress and put our mind at rest that he was settled and very well looked after well definitely be using Diana in the future”
“Louise looked after Coco for the second time and again he had a wonderful time. It was very cute to see him sitting on the windowsill looking out like he was very much at home. The pictures and updates are also very helpful. Thanks again xx”
“It was the first time our Jazzy was away from home. I can’t praise her enough she was beyond amazing with Jazmin. Sent loads of videos and updates and took care of her so well. Her own pets Tyler and Layla were fantastic with our mini Jazmin who’s 5lbs. I would highly recommend Sukraj to look after your fur babies and we will definitely be boarding our Jazmin with Sukraj again. She’s worth more than 5 stars in my opinion.”

Simi is amazing. She really put me in ease and I felt an instant connection and trust. Gucci was calm in her arms when I left him and that meant so much. She listen to all instructions and asked questions. She is honest and sent me updates with photos. Great experience and we should definitely ask Simi to have Gucci again.

First time our dogs have gone to a dog sitter whilst we was on holiday we was nervous at first as we have very timid dogs and Ralph needs daily medication for his arthritis but Joy was absolutly amazing sending regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease straight away and when I picked them up they didn’t want to leave! We even got a little gift that joy had hand painted for us of the dogs which was such a lovely gesture. We will definately be using joy again to take care of our fur babies, wouldn’t ever use anyone else and would recommend her to anyone! Thanks again joy we will be back very soon
Tatiana is a lovely , calm lady , very experienced with dogs , who took time to understand my Retrievers needs and wants at the meet and greet before her overnight stay . She kept us updated throughout the evening and sent photos so we could see Nellie was happy and settled in her care . When we collected her in the morning after she had breakfast and a walk , it was clear she had enjoyed her stay with Tatiana ! 😊🐕🐾
Thank you to Louise for offering her home to Lucky while we were away. He didn’t make it easy for her but she kept us informed all the way and he has come back very happy. Thank you for the care you gave to him and the messages while we were away. Highly recommend Louise x
Hattie had a wonderful time staying with Jaiden! He sent us regular updates to let us know how she was getting on. He looked after her brilliantly and was very caring and mindful of her needs as a blind dog. He clearly became very fond of her. We shall definitely be booking Jaiden again!
Just got back from a wonderful vacation, and before leaving Raqz for the first time with strangers we were apprehensive about putting him in kennels, so was recommended to use the rover app to find a sitter by a friend & luckily found Gemma and her family, after a few messages and one meeting it gave us the confidence to leave Raqz in their care. We were given photo & written updates on the various activities that he experienced during his stay which settled our concerns. Gemmas children also gave Raqz lots of attention which he loves and helped him settle into his new routine much more easily. We were asked plenty of questions around Raqz daily regimes so he could be kept in a familiar routine. All in all on collecting him he seems to have had a great holiday away from his regular family in exchange for a new family. Thoroughly recommend using Gemma and her whole family they make it a team event.
Lily looked after my sausage dog, Bruno, for 5 nights after meeting him for the first time on Saturday, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. Not only is Lily incredibly professional and attentive, but she is also such a genuinely lovely person, which made the whole experience even more reassuring. Bruno can be quite anxious naturally as a sausage dog, but Lily gave him so much attention, care, and reassurance that he completely settled in. He has never been this relaxed with a dog sitter before—it was clear he felt totally at home with her. Lily also kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. It was so lovely to see him happy, comfortable, and enjoying himself. I was so impressed that I’ve already booked Lily again for my next holiday. I feel completely confident that Bruno is in the best hands. I would highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets while they’re away—you won’t regret it!
Hannah and her partner accepted a booking for Charlie at relatively short notice. We enjoyed a meet and greet a few day before Charlie's short stay where we were welcomed with open arms. After dropping off Charlie for his stay hannah kept in touch letting us know how he'd settled with a photo of Charlie curled up asleep on the sofa. We collected him at our agreed time and Hannah had packed all his belongings ready for him to come home. We would highly recommend hannah if looking for a five star sitter for your pet.
Emily and Chris were wonderful with the dogs, they took them out on lovely adventures and sent us lots of photos. Milo and Axl were allowed to make themselves right at home and enjoyed their time with them and an occasional pupcup too. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
It was the first time our Jazzy was away from home. I can’t praise her enough she was beyond amazing with Jazmin. Sent loads of videos and updates and took care of her so well. Her own pets Tyler and Layla were fantastic with our mini Jazmin who’s 5lbs. I would highly recommend Sukraj to look after your fur babies and we will definitely be boarding our Jazmin with Sukraj again. She’s worth more than 5 stars in my opinion.
Luna had a wonderful time with Charlotte and her family. She had lots of fuss, nice long country walks and fun with their dog Bruce (although I’m not sure how much fun he had with our lively puppy!). Luna will be visiting again next time we’re away and we’d certainly recommend Charlotte to others.

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in West Midlands may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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. 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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
