About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently own two Briards, so I’m very comfortable caring for large, energetic, and intelligent breeds. Looking after my own dogs has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, grooming, training reinforcement, and understanding different dog personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always aim to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship and cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and routine. I have recently returned home from travelling in Canada so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Caring for dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins or daycare whenever needed. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so being able to care for dogs as part of my day is something I really enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible while in my care. At home, dogs will have plenty of attention, company, exercise, and a calm environment to settle in. I’m experienced with larger breeds through owning two Briards, so I’m confident handling energetic dogs as well as those who prefer a quieter pace. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always respect their usual routines, feeding schedules, walking habits, and any training rules already in place to help pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
“Chloe was absolutely amazing with Leo! He was well looked after, got plenty of walks, and came back happy and relaxed. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she boards and she sends a lot of adorable pictures throughout the stay. I’d definitely recommend booking Chloe if you want peace of mind while you're away!”
About: I’m a caring, reliable and responsible person who genuinely loves animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs.

I’m also comfortable following feeding, walking and medication routines when needed. My priority is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for regular walks, visits and plenty of quality time with your pet. I enjoy being outdoors, so dog walks are a perfect fit for me. I’m also happy to spend time at home with pets who prefer company, playtime and cuddles. I can be flexible around your pet’s usual routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. I offer pet sitting in the pet owner’s home, where I can provide one-to-one care and keep your pet in their familiar surroundings. I follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m happy to stay overnight and make sure your pet has company and feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping it clean and tidy and following your instructions carefully.

“I was very pleased with Heather, she turned up on time and was here when I got back from my trip, and made me a cup, which was very welcome after a long drive. My cat was well looked after and my house was in good order. I couldn't ask for anything more. I will be using Heather again”
“Camila was fantastic. She took the time to meet me and my pets beforehand and send me lots of updates while I was away. She even built the cat tower that had been sitting around for a few weeks. I would definitely book with Camila again.”
About: I am a huge animal lover working in wildlife conservation, I grew up with dogs (King Charles spaniels and Rhodesian ridgeback) so I have experience with different types of dog. I also spent a year fostering dogs and puppies from Dogs Trust Harefield and have dog sat for family and friends. I’m currently working part time remotely, I walk a lot daily so am very happy to walk dogs or just give them love all day! Also open to house sitting or having dogs to sleep, I am flexible so please just ask! I have had dogs previously however now I have no pets. I live next to a large woodland so have access to lovely walks very close by.
“Tao was brilliant! Pancake was clearly very comfortable with her, which is always great for a dog who is shy. She was punctual, kept us informed and took really gorgeous photos. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had a family dog all my life and currently have my own jack russell cross called Reggie. I graduated this year as a Vet, so I am looking for some flexible work before I start my clinical job. I am confident with all types of dogs and would thoroughly enjoy meeting your pets. I’m currently working at home on the family farm, so have flexibility in terms of availability and being able to fit in around schedules. Throughout university, I’ve cared for lots of different types of pets and my experience makes me adaptable to different needs and circumstances. I have also needed a sitter myself at times and know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable with a change of routine.
“I can't recommend Lana highly enough. She stepped in at very short notice to look after my dog for the weekend and was fantastic. She gave us regular updates and provided pics and video of him having cuddles and out on walks. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. She was also kind enough to feed and check on our two cats. I would not hesitate to book with her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have experience in walking and house sitting small dogs, I love playing with dogs! I’m a responsible and an empathetic person, I value cleanliness as well! I have added photos from the times cats chose me, dogs from housesitting and dogs in my partners place ☺️ I’m a recent graduate, currently in the job hunt, so I do have plenty of time during the week! I’m flexible on days and timings to walk your pets/ housesit them! I have experience in home sitting pets at their place before; I’m a responsible and caring sitter. I currently live in a student accommodation and so petsitting at my place will not be possible.
“Would 100% recommend Nicola. Felt very comfortable leaving Arlo with her, she asked all the right questions before to make sure she had everything she needed and then provided a beautiful report with photos afterwards as well. Left the house exactly as she found it and left a very contented boy who clearly enjoyed her company.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitters for2 dogs, 2 cats and not forgetting the 40 fish. Adrain and Iwona provided incredible peace of mind by sending daily photo updates. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love animals; our pets took to them immediately. We returned home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless house. Highly professional and trustworthy—we will definitely be booking again!"”
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. I have recently got another little cavapoo puppy named Hazel. She is extremely loving and friendly with other dogs! Loves to play a lot, and hence would love to take the doggos to park to play. Also, can easily train your dog to sit and to give a hi5 :) I work from home and it’s only me as my partner is away at work. Hence would definitely enjoy and love some paw company to brighten by day up and help you travel stress free. I can take them play time as have good surroundings to take them for a walk. Can give them timely attention and care that they need.
“Fantastic. Pluto loved James! Pluto was a little unsure at first(as he’s with most people) but warmed up to James really quickly! The photos received showed Pluto looking really relaxed and it put my mind at rest! Would definitely book again! James went above and beyond and even walked Pluto too!”
“So lovely, made sure to communicate with us with all news regarding Pluto and Pluto was very happy to have someone with him all day! Will definitely book Sameer again. Lovely guy, and made me feel at ease to be at work whilst the dog was at home!”
“We love Nikki! Ziggy has been so happy with her! She keeps me updated throughout the day and takes Ziggy on fun adventures to help with her separation anxiety from me. Ziggy is so comfortable and happy with Nikki. I could not have found a better person to look after Ziggy for me!”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - South Bucks
Katy is quietly confident and highly competent. She knows what she is doing and also has a very high ability to bond with animals so that they are calm and feel unstressed. Our two dogs really loved her during her time staying and caring for them. They were and are completely happy being with her, which was a huge relief. She is highly recommended!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred South Bucks walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 South Bucks 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. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
