“Jess is a great dog sitter, we’ve tried a few on Rover and Jess is by far the best we’ve ever used. She kept us updated on the girls with plenty of great photos. The girls were all very happy and relaxed when we got home, we would definitely use Jess again. Thanks for looking after our girls”
“River was a great house and pet sitter for my 3 pets. They made sure I was kept up to date with photos and messages every day and was very flexible when our plans changed without much notice. I would highly recommend River to look after you cats and dogs!”
“Colin and Cris are amazing. We left our beloved pooches with them.for over 2 weeks which for a first time sit, was quite daunting for us. We couldn't have asked for more, as we received regular updates and photos and we truly felt happy that our two little ones were being loved and well cared for. We came home to very happy pooches and we cannot thank Colin and Cris enough ! It made our holiday so much better knowing they were in good hands. Thank.you again guys xxxx”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic. We have two dogs who are very much part the family and struggle being without us, they were completely happy with Lauren. We finally have a solution to leaving the dogs happy at home if we need to be away. Thank you Lauren. Highly recommended. Absolutely excellent.”
“Chelsea took great care of our puppy Maui. Professional and prompt communication, Chelsea reassured us and kept us updated whilst we were away for the day. Maui was very happy to be left with Chelsea and very relaxed and happy upon our arrival.”
About: About me: My rescue Dutch Shepherd passed recently at 14 after 12 years together. He was my family but he had reactivity and towards the end needed a lot of care around illness and dementia. Raising and training him has given me so much love for dogs along with a good amount of experience around dog body language (his and other dogs), training and general situational awareness. I also learned so much about clear requests and firm boundaries while advocating for him. Because of that he was able to have so many human friends and dog besties despite the reactivity. And I've done lots of walks and sits for those doggy friends over the years. I'm not ready to have another dog or cat myself, but I'd love to care for other folks' furry family. Things to be aware of Boarding: I have an elderly cat, so to board at my home, your dog will need to be good with cats. Unless your dog currently lives with cats I'll ask for a meet and greet at my home so that they can meet and I can assess. House sitting: I will accept house sitting visits outside of my set area if it is for multiple nights. There's no effective way to set things up that way on this site so please get in touch. I also can do longer than a week house sits for folks that I have done sits for previously. I work from home part time- Monday to Wednesday with plenty of flexibility around those working days. I can set my hours on those days as needed. And my days off are completely mine to schedule. The owner is always the best resource for how to care for their pet. My first port of call will be to go through questions related to behaviour and care, to make sure that I can meet everything that's needed. Aside from that I'm confident walking dogs of any size. Even if you're happy for your dog to be off lead, I will keep them on lead for the first few walks until I'm confident that they will recall to me consistently. Im happy working with spicy kitties who need extra time to build trust. My home is spacious and has a walled garden. I still have bowls, fountains, scratching posts, toys and crates from my previous pets that I can bring out of storage as needed.
“After an initial meet & greet with my dogs, Zoe was able to help on fairly short notice. The dogs were happy and walked when it was cool enough, and the house was well kept - very happy to have had Zoe, and will be looking to use her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Kirstie, thank you for looking at my profile! I have owned animals my whole life, we are definitely a family of animal lovers! At the moment we have eight cats, Joey, Lacie, Dynamo, Kurt, Saxon, Mini Big, Ginge and Gus, two long haired and the rest short haired. They all have their own unique personalities, but mostly have one thing in common, they love a fuss and a cuddle! We do have one cat who has her 'boundaries' and so I am used to those cats who prefer their own space! I could think of nothing better than spending my days getting to fuss over lots of different animals, cats are my first love but I have a soft spot for all animals 🥰 This is my full time job so I have plenty of availability! I work to their routine, in every way. They become family to me! I work to you and your pets routine, feeding times, walk times, where they sleep etc. Pets prefer to stay in their own homes, and I will do everything I can to make sure they feel at home with me.
“Martina is an amazing sitter and we would highly recommend her to anyone. She takes great care and pride in looking after our boy and shares amazing updates daily with pictures to ensure both us and the kids can see he is having a great time.”
“Abigail was absolutely fantastic! My doggies were so well looked after and were very happy and healthy upon returning. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her for future sits!”
“Kieran was great with our old boy Tinker, and was a very considerate house guest. Being new to Rover we were a little worried having someone we didn’t know in the house but he gave us plenty of pupdates, left the house clean and tidy with great communication. We would be happy to use Kieran again as Tinks was very happy when we got home. Thank you 🙏🏻”
“I really can’t recommend Holly enough. She looked after my pup and my older dog whilst we were away on holiday. She took care of everything. And I don’t say that lightly. She had only previously met the girls briefly, but was a natural with them. Holly checked in with me daily, updating me with how the girls were getting on. She sent me photos of them on their walks, in the garden and snuggled up with her 🥰. This was so reassuring and I felt like I could relax and enjoy my holiday knowing they were in such good hands. She also took care of our home. She left the house immaculate and even double checked when bin day was, so we didn’t miss out. Holly was fantastic and we hope she’s be happy to help us again in the future 🙂 highly recommend. Thanks Holly.”
“Hayley took great care of our elderly Labrador whilst we went away on holiday. He is a needy boy and is always pleased to see Hayley and seemed very happy when we got home. Hayley went above and beyond looking after the house and watering plants for us too.”
“Jiahui was fantastic! Riley is a difficult dog, but she managed to become his friend very quickly. He had a great time with her. I got lots of updates, pictures, so I had a very good time as well, knowing that Riley is in such good hands. Thank you very much, Jiahui and Rover Looking forward to our next meeting!”
“Ashika was great with our dog. Was a bit nervous leaving her with someone new but ashika made sure she took her time so she could get used to a new person in the house. Lots of updates throughout the day and followed our instructions. Will use again”
“Phoebe was wonderful! This was a really last minute request and we can’t thank her enough! Dougal was such a happy boy when we came home and slept most of the day so I know he felt safe & comfortable 😊 We received lots of updates throughout the day which is always nice. We hope to see Phoebe again soon!🥰”
“Good job, well done. Angela AKA Sandie house say and looked after our 2 little wolves in Monday. They were settled and calm and i appreciated the pics she messaged me of them resting. With her partner Tony, they looked after them again on Tuesday.”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - South Northamptonshire
We had such a lovely experience with Danny and Ruby and felt completely at ease leaving our dog and cat in their care. They were incredibly reliable and so kind and understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly due to the loss of another of our pets. Their flexibility and compassion really meant a lot to us during a difficult time. They sent loads of photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was clear our dog was having the best time with plenty of long, happy walks and lots of attention. It made being away so much easier knowing our pets and our house were so well cared for. They were always quick to respond, thoughtful in their communication, and just genuinely lovely to deal with. We’d happily book them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them without hesitation. We hope to see them again before too long - we think the dog might be pining!

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 Northamptonshire 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 Northamptonshire 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.
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.
