“Our pup is always happy at Sonia's and excited to stay! Such a relief and peace of mind to know he is enjoying his time away. Has a great sleep at home after all the fun :) thank you!”
“Leonie was absolutely fantastic, extremely organised and quick to respond. She is clearly very experienced with dogs and was very accommodating to ensure our dog was safe and help cope with the heatwave. Elton immediately gave Leonie kisses when he first met her and was evidently very comfortable! Thank you very much!”
“Lily always looks after my dog and I cant recommend her enough! Everytime I pick my dog up, he’s always happy and well cared for. I really appreciate the regular updates/photos/messages which gives me a peace of mind when I’m away. I can clearly see that Lily loves dogs and it shows because my dog is always excited to see her. Very reliable and caring professional”
“Fantastic experience. Our boy seemed to have a great time and was well cared for. Very appreciative of the short notice booking and of all the lovely photos and videos that we received of him whilst we were away. Great rover-er, would recommend and book again if we’re in the area ❤️”
“We loved using Emily again to care for Roobarb. Emily, and her sweet pup Freddie, gave Roobarb a lovely time - and this gave us a much needed break. Thank you Emily and Freddie.”
About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, care, and genuine attention I can give to every pet. Being on maternity leave means I’m home most of the day, so your furry friend will always have supervision, companionship, and plenty of affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I’m very patient and attentive, which makes me confident caring for puppies learning their routines, senior dogs who need a gentler approach, or pets with special needs. Some things that help owners feel confident choosing me: I follow your pet’s usual routine closely, including feeding, walking, and playtime, to reduce stress. I maintain a safe, clean environment at all times, whether in your home or mine. I provide regular photo and message updates so you can see your pet happy and relaxed throughout their stay. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and well cared for at all times. Your pet’s comfort and happiness is my priority, and I strive to build trust with both pets and their owners. I’m currently on maternity leave and spend most of my time at home. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention, and I can easily adapt to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. Because I’m home often, pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship and supervision. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to welcoming new furry friends and giving them a safe, calm, and caring environment. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my top priority. I will always provide a calm and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure whilst in my care whether they are in their own home or mine. I will take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements so I can keep their day as familiar and stress-free as possible (again, regardless of being in my home or their own). In my home - pets will have a safe, clean space to relax aswell as play. They will always be supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In your home - I will respect your space and follow the instructions provided so your pet can stay happy and content within their usual environment. I will stick to their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routines as much as possible. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident with the care being provided.
“Jenny is a fantastic sitter. She was very accommodating and communicative with our specific circumstances being so last minute. Would recommend her to everyone of my pooch-owning friends!”
“Had an excellent experience with Brianne. It was the first time we used a pet sitter for our 4 month old golden retriever. Our puppy instantly took to her, clearly enjoyed his stay. Additionally she was empathetic of our difficult circumstances on the day and helped us with logistics. Would strongly recommend and happily book again if required.”
“Natalija is a brilliant host. She looked after our Cavapoo, Honey, puppy at very short notice. She was incredibly kind, helpful, accommodating and caring towards Honey. We feel lucky to have met her and will definitely ask her and her family to have Honey again for us. Highly recommended. Thank you so much Natalija.”
“Emilia looked after Luna perfectly, she was in communication with me during the day care and took Luna out on a nice walk. Luna was happy when I picked her up and we will be using Emilia again for day care!”
“I booked Scarlet through Rover having found the site on Google. I needed an last minute adhoc one day sitter for our puppy. I had a remarkable service from Scarlet as I was very nervous of leaving her with someone I had never met. She welcomed me and our puppy and reassured me before I left she would be fine. Scarlet took the time to ask questions and gain an understanding of our puppies routine prior to the day. I was kept up to date regularly throughout the day with updates and photo’s which further reassured me. My puppy was happy when we collected her at the end of the day and I could tell she had a really good day and from my experience I would not hesitate in recommending Scarlet.”
About: Hi everyone! I’m Domenica (or Dee for short). I’ve had dogs around me all of my life and often prefer to spend time with animals than humans! I’m here to personalise care for each pet and happy to take a proactive approach to in giving your pet exactly what they need. I’m currently studying a part time law masters online and can manage my own hours so I am extremely flexible. I like to wake up early to start my day! Currently not applicable. I have a dog of my own at home and he is quite territorial of the house but I may be open to pet sitting at the owners home in the future.
“Anna was really quick to respond and very accommodating. She actively listened and asked some really helpful questions about how to make Elton feel comfortable. Couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you :)”
“Ionascu‘s updates were amazing. I was kept informed. He definitely cares. And I have to say to my surprise so so accommodating. This was the first time I left my puppy with somebody else and I felt like there was a lot of trust. I’m really impressed with the service that was provided and the update on the friendliness and openness. I highly recommend leaving your dog in good hands, here with Ionascu.”
“I honestly can’t complain about Brenda’s service! Any time I need Dog sitting services and I see Brenda & Freddie available, I do not hesitate to book! Gunna always arrives back home like he’s spent a good day out having fun and stretching his long torso. Amazing, timely service! 😊”
“Heather was great. She offered to come and meet Ralph before we decided to go ahead with any bookings. I was really thankful for that due to a previous bad experience with a sitter on Rover. She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. She put me at ease (and Ralph was happy too) and he was his happy self on his return from daycare. Thanks Heather!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your South Bucks commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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 South East England 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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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 .
