About: My name is Kinga and like many people I grew up with dogs and have had dogs throughout my adult life. I love living with dogs, looking after them and simply being around them.I have experience of caring for dogs of various breeds such as Greyhounds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Labradoodle, German Shepherds, and Cane Corso, to name a few. As a dog owner I know how important it is to have your pet looked after by someone who is reliable, dependable and trustworthy and who will make your pet feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m happy to help look after your pet/s whilst you go away or when you are at work. I’m patient with animals and confident with looking after dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m working from home and therefore will be around to look after your pet 24/7 and can be flexible to accommodate your pets needs. I love walks with the dogs and snuggles on the sofa. I have a medium size, secure garden where your pet can chill in the sun or have a playtime. The safety of your dog is paramount when out and about thus I am mindful what areas and walks I chose.
“Zoe looked after my boys wonderfully and was extremely caring and attentive to their needs. I got daily updates about them including pictures and descriptions and felt so well communicated with. Would highly recommend zoe for your pet care and will absolutely be booking again for future trips!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life—having had my own since I was just one year old—so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve also regularly looked after dogs for family and friends, gaining experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I offer reliable and caring dog walking and sitting services, making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well looked after. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work part-time as a nanny three days a week, which gives me a flexible routine and the ability to check in on pets throughout the day. My split schedule allows me to offer reliable visits for feeding, walks, and companionship, ensuring your pets are well cared for even when you’re busy or away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and provide consistent, dependable care you can trust. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they have plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away, always keeping their environment clean, calm, and familiar. I also respect your home, ensuring everything is left tidy and secure after each visit. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and stress-free, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.
About: My name is Eva, I'm 35 and I absolutely love dogs! I’ve got lots of experience over the years - walking and sitting dogs through Rover for over 6 years - please check out my reviews! And sadly, I recently lost my dog, a Norwich terrier that my family had from a puppy to her amazing 16.5 years so I understand just how much love and attention dogs need at every stage of life. Whether you’re looking for dog walking, drop-in visits, or sitting services, I’d be happy to help you. Dogs naturally gravitate towards me. I'm confident with dogs of all sizes and all ages. Very experienced with caring for senior dogs and cats, can administer medicine and always be gente with them. I also love taking care of puppies and young dogs! Every dog is unique and if it's necessary I always spend the extra time to earn the dog's trust and make it comfortable with a new person. I also sponsor a guide dog in training through Guide Dog's UK for the past 3 years. Security is important. I understand very well how to handle a dog while walking on the street and busy areas with traffic, people, other dogs and everything that can possibly distract the dog. I also know how owners of small breeds feel when seeing a huge dog coming up to them. I would be delighted to take your dog for a nice long walk, perhaps run a little bit in a park if it's full of energy or maybe a slow walk somewhere nice if it's a bit older or recovering..? Totally depends what your dog prefers :) If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks, Eva I am fairly available. I live in Trumpington so it's easy for me if you are from that area too but I have a bike so I can get around Cambridge easily. I am not allowed to keep dogs at my rental property for now. That's why I can only offer dogwalking or dogsitting at your property.
About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and genuine love for animals. I work from home, so I can provide care throughout the day, including for pets that need extra attention or companionship. I'm also able to drive, making it easy for me to travel to your home. I've cared for pets with separation anxiety, high-energy dogs that need long walks, and pets that require more frequent care and supervision. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Working from home allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, regular playtime, companionship, or extra supervision, I can easily adapt to their routine. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety, so I'm happy to spend extra time with them to help them feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Every pet receives plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. While I'm unable to host pets in my own home because I have a cat, I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your pet in their usual routine. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love while you're away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was a child, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I provide a safe, loving, and patient environment, treating every pet as if they were my own. Your dog’s happiness, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. Working from home as an online teacher gives me a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day and ensure your furry friend receives lots of love and attention. I also offer pet sitting in your home, so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving loving, reliable care and plenty of attention.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - South Cambridgeshire
Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was kind, attentive and affectionate, and made sure all of our cat's needs and wants were taken care of. Her daily updates and photos gave us complete peace of mind, and our cat seemed happy, relaxed, and very comfortable with her. Elizabeth was professional, punctual, and completely reliable throughout. Everything went smoothly. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Josephine did a wonderful job looking after our cat Mollie while we were away for a week. She worked hard to build a relationship with our shy and sometimes grumpy cat, and was brilliant with communication and following our instructions. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!
Freya was wonderful! She cared for Muffin beautifully and kept us up-to-date on how he was doing with lots of photos. She even watered my plants which were looking thirsty in the warm weather! Muffin had a lovely time with her and we will definitely book in with Freya again in the future 🥰
Paloma did a fantastic job looking after my cats during the latest heat wave. She's very attentive and quick to respond to messages. Even my shy girl took to her quickly and she often hides behind the sofa when people she doesn't know come into the house. I'd highly recommend Paloma and will be using her services again.
We hired Lucia to look after our cat while we were away for a week. She was so thorough and attentive during her visits, and it was such a relief. She worked through the heatwave to make our cat as comfortable as possible and sent detailed reports every day. Our car very much enjoyed her company, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet companion!
This was a repeat booking with Annabel. My cat is always super chilled and unstressed when I come home, after she has been looked after by Annabel while i'm away. Annabel sends me regular updates and she can be relied on completely. This time she also applied some treatment to my cat, with no difficulties. Annabel looks after both cat and owner needs really well, I can highly recommend her cat sitting services.

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 Cambridgeshire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code.

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.
