“Absolutely amazing! Sophie and Charlotte did an incredible job of looking after my 2 cats and keeping me updated in how they were doing while I was away. Definitely will be using again!”
About: Highly experienced ex dog owner who has raised a diverse range of breeds. I really miss having my loveable companions by my side both inside and outside of my home. I have experience in training young puppies right through to adapting my time to suit a mature dogs lifestyle. Most importantly I love walking in all weathers and am happy to adapt my routine to meet the needs of your dog/s. I am available Monday to Friday and have some availability at weekends too. I would consider dog sitting in the comfort of your own home if this was your preferred option. I have a large, secure, fenced garden and have lots of floor space in my house to ensure your dog has everything they need to feel relaxed and at home. I also have room for a dog crate if required.
“As our cats can be very timid around people they don’t know, we were worried about how they would cope when we went away for a short break. Magdalena was great with our cats, she took time to make sure they were all okay and kept us informed throughout each visit, she also made sure that we had photos as well. Would definitely book Magdalena again.”
About: I’m currently working part time term time only so have plenty of time to look after animals! i’m available all day saturday sunday and wednesday in mornings/evenings every other day I have 3 cats at home and have a family full of cat and dog owners that i spend plenty of time with. I am used to keeping them safe on leads/crates or keeping animals apart if needs be. I am highly trained in cat cuddling also :)
“Corey is amazing. Looked after Kat while we were away and definitely got that peace of mind that our dog won’t be lonely of being on her own. Lost for words in highly recommending him to anyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Leanne was great with my cats, they can be very timid so she made sure they were all ok at each visit. It made it so much easier to go away and enjoy my holiday knowing the cats would be well looked after. Easy no fuss booking, 5 Star service, would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have one dog aged just over 1 years old that I absolutely adore! I love dogs so am happy to constantly give your dog lots of love and attention as well as plenty of walks and play time! I have always had a dog from different sizes and ages so am confident I can take care of any dog that I am blessed to look after! When looking after your dog after a fun day of playing I love sitting down in front of the fire and snuggling up with them! I am a keen runner so if your dog needs loads of walks and needs to keep active I am happy to take them on a jog or a very long hike to keep them engaged!
About: I’ve taken care of the dogs around me from a young age, even helping to deliver puppies and care for my 13 year old baby. Family and friends around me have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and adore their pets - which I’ve always done to the best of my ability (specifically the latter). I’m currently working part time whilst in education at university. My schedule changes weekly but is flexible to fit around any repeat customers, or other prior work. I have specific understandings to keep dogs, owners and myself safe, mostly from personal experience with my own dogs or from helping those I have found lost.
About: I have always been passionate about caring for animals and enjoy meeting dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities. I hold a qualification in Animal Management and also have veterinary experience, which has given me strong knowledge of animal health, behaviour, and wellbeing. I am confident caring for pets of all ages, including young animals that may require patience and basic training, as well as senior pets needing extra attention and gentle care. I pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention and care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Since I’m home most of the day, your pets will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of love, supervision, and regular updates. I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet in my care. At my home, I have a secure fenced garden and a very friendly, playful dog to keep your dog company. I always stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines, to help them feel comfortable and settled. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow all instructions carefully, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of all different breeds of dogs since I was a young child, I’ve always grown up with a family dog, usually 2 or 3. Our family dog had a litter of puppies 5 years ago and I helped raise them from birth. I love going on long walks but, also happy for short walks based in the dogs needs. I grew up with a British bulldog who would only walk around the block and refused to walk any further so I understand all dogs are different. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, but I work from home, so happy to dog sit and work from your house. I’m also available at weekends, early morning and evenings for walks and check ins. I will care for your dog based on their schedule and requirements, I will only give dog treats if you are happy for me to as I know some dogs have dietary requirements.
About: Growing up I've always had animals, including dogs, cats. I used to spend a few weeks a year with my family on my uncles farm helping out. I had a black lab cross, but lost him 2 years ago, he was beautiful although a little crazy, but loved long country walks and plenty of cuddles. I regularly look after my mums spaniel, hes very active although has alot of medication. I love having him because it means we can enjoy spending time together with an animal. I worked in a veterinary practise for two years before getting pregnant because animals is a big passion. I was training to be a vet nurse before having my son, Joey. The opportunity to house sit and spend time with your pets means we can enjoy our travel lifestyle whilst pursuing our passion with animals. In the last 10 years we've been all over the world and enjoyed time together with a variety of animals including dogs, cats. I love the fact that we can actually relax in a home environment with your furry family members. Last year we lived in Brazil and rescued a sick dog and 5 abandoned kittens from the streets, we nursed them to health and they became part of the family, which is why it was tough letting them go, but our goal was to find loving new homes for them which we managed to do. I host Air Bnb and stay in mainly Airbnbs at the moment when away, therefore know the responsibility of looking after someone else home, I have also made some great friends through this site. Hello there! My name is Cara. I currently work remotely as an online tutor, but I love languages and art and nature. Working from home, means lots of flexibility and time with your furry family members! I am a big animal lover and have always had them in my life. Although exploring new places means we can't have a furry family member full time, we have looked after dogs, cats. I rescued a dog and 5 kittens from the streets of Brazil when living there last year and successfully re-homed them. We will be sure to update you with lots of pictures. Being outdoors is my favourite hobby and sharing that experience together with an animal is something we thrive on. Looking forward to meeting you and you furry/ or not animal family members soon! Cara and Joey You pets will be welcomed into my home and will enjoy every minute here. Lots of country side in our quiet village and as I work from home, they will have plenty of time with me.
“Deanna is such a star! She's been looking after my fur babies a few times now and they love her very much. She's so caring, kind, and makes me feel at ease knowing they are in such good hands. I cannot thank her enough.”
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
