About: I’m a student nurse who’s experienced in taking care of both people and pets. I have experience in looking after cats - I’ve lived with them since I was born. I have also lived with dogs that I have enjoyed helping take care of when they needed ( or when I’ve just needed a bit of company!) I am currently on holiday! In term time in a student paediatric nurse :) I’m just looking for something fun and bit different to do whilst I’m off. I’m really happy to chill at the pets house or take them for long walks! I will not be able to provide services at my home
“Carol looked after my two cats, Hendrix and Whitley, while I was away and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent regular updates and photos throughout, which was really reassuring, and it was clear they were both happy and well looked after. Would definitely recommend Carol and would happily book with her again.”
“Dan and Nali got on with each other from the start. Dan arrived when booked, and looked after Nali as we’d asked - including playing with him in the house, as Nali doesn’t “do wet” and refused to stay in the garden! We’re planning to use Dan again, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dan to other owners, as he obviously has an understanding of a dogs needs.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and often look after friends and family’s pets as well as my own. I have always loved animals. My calendar is up to date with availability. Walking regularly and looking after pets in their homes fits perfectly into my routine. I carefully plan my days to fit the needs of each pet. I offer pet sitting from your home. This way your pets will be comforted with the familiarity of their own home reducing stress and anxiety. I will be there to keep them company and stay in their routine. You will have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, secure and well cared for.
“Rosie is a great sitter and a safe pair of hands. She helped me looking after Rudi in a difficult time and with very short notice. I'm grateful for her help and would recommend her to anybody needing high quality and attentive pet care. Thank you so much Rosie.”
About: I’ve had a family springer spaniel for the last 7 years, but now I don’t live with my family I miss her very much. I’ve loved dogs all my life so am looking to fill the void! I currently work part time so am available for boarding Wednesdays and Fridays from 6pm onwards, and weekends! I’m also available for walks and drop ins at weekends, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and some Monday/wednesday/fridays. I have a fenced back garden and have plenty of room for a crate in my house, or simply a bed to keep them in the kitchen overnight.
“Emma is a super-friendly, very flexible and all-round purrfect cat-sitting companion for your feline overlord/lady. Even though we contacted her with less than a week til our desired date, it was no problem - she responded quickly and confirmed within a matter of minutes. She popped around beforehand to meet us and our cat, took careful notes on all the little points and idiosyncrasies we had to pass on and when we were away, sent us regular updates and films of our cat having a fantastic time (no doubt she was sorry to see Emma leave!) We will absolutely be getting in touch again when next we need someone to cover. Thanks Emma!”
“Very professional and provided consistently engaging walks taking Poppy on group walks. Hosed and cleaned her down every time very kindly, as she is a mud monster so thanks for your patience on that one!”
About: I've always had dogs in my life growing up and then when I had my own children I had to have a family dog too.

I would love to you with the care of your dog when needed and enjoy having the company of dogs again in our home. I work from home several days a week which will reflect in my availability I am hoping to build my availability over time as I build my online business combining my two passions of counselling services and caring for animals. I have a large fenced safe garden and access to several playing fields locally. Having owned my own dog for 13 years until recently I am well equipped at home to take care of others. Happy for dogs in any space of my home, cuddles on the sofa? Absolutely! Especially after a lovely walk in nature!

About: I’ve always loved and taken care of cats since a little girl, lots of experience with them. I have experience with dogs too, more so in recent years. I have had cats all of my life, and a dog of my own for the last 6 years. New to pet sitting outside of friends and family. I work part time from home with a very flexible schedule so visiting your babies will be easy! I will work around my drop-in visits. Both cats and dogs deserve lots of attention, cuddles and enrichment as well as their basic needs like food, water, clean litter tray etc. I will do everything I can to provide your pet with everything it needs! A drop in visit will last 30 minutes, unless upgraded to the 60 minute option. My preference is one visit per day, but I can do up to 3 visits for an additional price.
About: I have always loved animals. My grandparents used to have a farm so I have experience with lots of animals. I used to keep many pets as a child. We have a four year old dog-friendly Pomeranian girl called Stella so I can ONLY help look after small or medium-sized dog breeds either female or neutered male who are friendlly with toy breeds. I work part-time in a nursery 3 days a week and have weekends, Mondays and Fridays off so I could give the dog my full attention then. My husband works from home so he can take care of the dogs when I am at work. We own a 4 bedroom detached house with a good size garden near a large park. I have two teenaged children and they love animals and long walks. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Marketa My husband works from home on the days that I work, so my dog and your dog would never be left alone for more than few hours at a time when my husband needs to go shopping for example. We have a fenced, good sized garden and 4 bedroom detached spacious home and a teenage children who adore animals and help with dog walking.
“Hilary was amazing and Candy knew she was in safe hands straight away. We were in London for the day and I felt at ease knowing that Candy would be Hilarys priority. I cannot recommend Hilary enough for peace of mind and for the greatest care of your pets.”

I am confident walking dogs and have years of experience. I am currently offering dog walking and pet visits part time. I am happy to negotiate what what your needs may be and what I can accommodate.

I am patient and caring.
About: I joined Rover in 2022. I can't be more happier. I have a German Short-haired Pointer back home. I miss her so much so, spending time with others dogs help me a lot and keeps me busy. I have a fenced and long yard where pets can spent quality time. I am happy walking them around a couple of times per day. I work part time from home so i have plenty of time. I can boarding and receive visit everyday basically. I am quite flexible as well. Me and my boyfriend together take care of the dogs. So we both can easily manage ourselves to keep the dogs under control every time.
About: We've had dogs all our life. We regularly look after a mix of cockapoos and Jack Russles for our close family (Bertie, Pepper, Goose and Peggy). Would love a dog of our own but lifestyle limits the consistent commitment. Laura, she works from home at the start and tail end of the week. Sam, he is often around on the weekends and evenings. We are very active people who love walks as well as cuddles. We have a fenced garden. Wood floors and a comfy sofa! Plenty of walking routes near by including open fields (if dog is ok off lead).

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - South Gloucestershire
We were initially anxious about leaving Nala over the weekend on her own, but Emma quickly put our minds at ease. She took the time to truly understand Nala’s behaviour, routine, and personality. Our little Nala can be shy with new people, but she warmed to Emma quickly, a true testament to Emma's gentle, caring nature. We received lovely, thorough updates throughout her visits and won't hesitate to work with Emma again. If you are looking for a cat sitter, Emma is a total gem and we recommend her without reluctance.
Carol is absolutely fabulous. She looked after Georgie for a week during which time we had issues with our house and Georgie managed to get a cut on his face. She handled it all brilliantly which meant we could still enjoy our holiday without having to worry at all. Couldn’t recommend Carol more!
Meg was a pleasure and looked after my kitties really well. I could tell she really cares for cats, which was the most important thing for me, and I felt really confident leaving them in her capable hands. She communicated really well, and quickly got back to me, sent pics and updates. I liked that she was down to earth and was very patient with me throughout. As a first time user of the site, and I'd had a really busy and stressful time before going away, this meant so much to me. They were as happy as Larry when I got back, which was brilliant- thanks Meg. Highly recommended.
Kirsty was absolutely fabulous. She took care of our cats over a long weekend and was kind, thoughtful, respectful and an excellent communicator. She spent time with our cats at the drop in times, giving them kindness and attention, which was appreciated. We had good, descriptive updates to assurance us whilst we were away. Highly recommend, and will be rebooking for next trip if we can.

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 Gloucestershire 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
