“Heather put my mind at ease whilst I was away. No issues at all. She was very attentive when she came to meet the cats and asked questions about things I had forgotten to mention. Could tell she had done it before. I am already looking for my next break away , and will be using Heather for sure.”
“Lucy is great with my puppy Jax, he absolutely loves her!! She is very attentive and makes him feel very comfortable. She plays with him and ensures that he is kept busy and is at ease while she is around. She keeps me updated with what’s going on so I am not worrying! Would highly recommend Lucy!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve had the joy of caring for many of my own over the years, as well as other people’s. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and well-cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. We have a Cockapoo in the family (at my dads home) and my partner has also grew up with three dogs — two Irish Greyhounds and a Jug (a Jack Russell–Pug cross). Between us, we’ve had plenty of hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, so we’re just as comfortable with calm, affectionate dogs as we are with playful, high-energy ones. We recently moved into a lovely flat in Gerrards Cross with a secure, sun-facing enclosed balcony. We also have great access to local walks and green spaces.
“Winston had a great time with Katie. We got great updates from her everyday, including messages and cute pictures! Katie even went out of her way to buy some more food for Winston when we ran out! Highly recommend Katie to look after your loved ones, they will be in good hands! Thanks Katie😊”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently care for three with my mum, including two reactive rescues, so I’m very experienced with dogs who need patience and a calm handler. I’m comfortable reading dogs body language and tailoring care to suit each dog’s individual needs. My dog Sootsie is always up for an adventure, and we head out for at least a 5km walk every day but she’d love a friendly walking buddy to join us! Alongside this, I compete in dog agility, which has given me a strong foundation in training, enrichment, and keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated in a positive, rewarding way. I treat every dog as if they’re my own and always prioritise their safety, wellbeing, and happiness Im currently in year 13 so can be very flexible with hours- specially afternoons/evenings - and weekends! Also, I am free during school holidays, all day, everyday. I have a dog-friendly car that pups are welcome to travel in. My dogs, Sootsie and Brian, are always ready for an adventure and would love a furry friend along for the ride. Alternatively, if your dog prefers their own company, I’m more than happy to travel to your home and provide one-on-one care and support.
“Kelli was again brilliant with Fiadh - I felt absolutely safe leaving home knowing Fiadh was in safe hands. Kelli provided daily updates for added reassurance & peace of mind (and lovely daily videos of a playful & cuddly Fiadh to cheer me up while away). A fully-deserved 5 out of 5 stars & will definitely book Kelli again in the future”
About: I am fairly active so I can provide long walks or jogs with your pet. My local area has gorgeous woods and scenic walking routes. I do live in an apartment but there’s very close access to Gerrards Cross common and surrounding parks. My job allows me to work from home, therefore I can offer constant care for your pet. My schedule is flexible, and I should be able to look after your pet most days. My home is clean, tidy and very bet friendly. I also have air-con to keep your pet comfortable on those warmer days. I’m happy with pets to be cosy on furniture.
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.
“Shelley Anne was the perfect sitter. She came to visit me and Honey before to make sure Honey would be happy, and Shelley Anne happy to visit. Shelley Anne knows so much about dogs and dog behaviour so I felt more than comfortable to have her visit. I felt very relaxed knowing Shelley Anne would be visiting and will definitely recommend her.”

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.
“I was travelling to the other side of the world and needed a trusted sitter. As this was the first time I’d left my precious fur baby with a stranger, it felt like a big decision—but it turned out to be a great one. I highly recommend Luby. She is calm, patient, and warm, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure both you and your pet feel cared for. The daily pictures and updates did so much to ease my nerves. There were times I had no connection and worried about my cat being lonely or getting hurt outside (I’m definitely an overthinker!), but receiving those updates during my travels reassured me that my cat was safe and happy. There were even a few small issues at home, and knowing Luby was keeping me informed was a godsend. I left a small tip and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Good pet care is priceless—I’m so grateful ☺️.”
“Chrissy is great; super friendly, very reliable and kindly kept me informed of how my dog was doing throughout the sit in. In each picture she sent, my pup looked like he was having a great time, tail wagging in every picture! Will definitely be enlisting her help again soon. Thank you Chrissy!”

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other South Bucks pet parents with similar pet households.

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!

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.
