“Ela was incredible, we knew our fur baby was in good hands, she kept us updated and took all the stress away from leaving her with someone, Blossom absolutely loved having her here too!”
About: I have worked with dogs for many years within the pet industry and with working farm dogs. I have no problems with giving medication as my eldest cat currently has medical supplements for bladder issues. I love going for walks and I can cater to your furry friends needs, whether it's a 30 mins stroll outside or an hour running around a woodland or open fields. I've also had many other furry friends of my own such as a dog, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbit and tropical fish. I do work full time but have the flexibility of working from home. I'm local to the Milton Keynes area but happy to travel if and when required. I'm an early riser and can work around your pets routine throughout the day. I have had cats since I was 15 years old and currently own two cats (Ted & Pixie). One is an outdoor cat and the other stays indoors. I have no problems with cleaning litter trays or giving medication as my eldest cat currently has medical supplements for bladder issues. My cats are also used to dogs when our family or friends occasionally bring their pooches to visit.
“Excellent care taken with our dog during the drop in visits. We are really happy with the updates given about our dog during the visit and will continue to book. Overall fantastic dog sitter, couldn’t recommend enough. And our dog certainly seems to agree!!”
“Cicely was absolutely incredible. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her and I could tell how much love and attention they got whilst I was away. Bolt & Bella are already looking forward to the next time they can spend the day with Cicely 🤍”
“Kirstie looked after our two cats over the holidays. We met up before to go through everything, which was great and Kirstie met the two pests briefly 😂. We came back and my cats were so happy, a lot happier than staying at a cattery. Will use Kirstie again without hesitation, she’s lovely and friendly. Thank you xxx”

We know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and we’re committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment where your pets can feel happy and at home. 🐶🐱 We’re both currently on vacation in the UK for the next two months, so we have a very flexible schedule with no work commitments. This allows us to offer 24/7 care, including overnight stays and house sitting. We’re fully available to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day and night.

Natassha loves taking photos, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and horses, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet sat for three different families, looking after a variety of dogs with different personalities and needs, including a nervous and reactive dog. I also have two Labradoodles of my own—one we rescued and one we’ve had since he was a puppy—so I’m very used to energetic walks, playtime, and keeping dogs happy and entertained. When my parents go on holiday, I also look after their dogs, so I’m experienced in caring for multiple dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, sticking to their usual routine, or simply giving them plenty of cuddles and attention, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. After all, dog cuddles always come first! I’m currently on my six-week summer break, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available during the day for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m also available for overnight stays when needed. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, making sure they receive the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. I understand how important it is to keep their routine as normal as possible, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully, from feeding and walks to medication and bedtime routines. Having two Labradoodles of my own, I’m experienced in caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ll make sure your dog feels relaxed, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, treating them with the same care and attention I give my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll ensure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need in a safe and familiar environment.
“Chelsea is so lovely and also reliable . I felt totally at ease leaving willow with Chelsea and bless her she kept me updated with pictures of Willow on the app. I know Willow is looking forward to seeing Chelsea’s again for more belly rubs .,?”
About: I have years of personal pet care experience, also as my partner. And since we are helping on a regular basis our friends in their absence, we decided to extend our services to others which need someone to look after their family member when they are away. We enjoy hosting our friends' furry family members and give them the love they need. We are an active couple going regularly for walks in parks nearby us, we would also enjoy walks with your furry friend🐶. I'm working for my own company from home, so I create the schedule every day as is comfortable for me and my plans. For cats sitting I am available almost all the time if the kitty will be in our place, for visiting I will be mostly available afternoon and weekends, however I can make some exception and change my schedule if needed. We have a spacious flat where we can take one cat at the time or couple of them if they are from the same family and already know each other. We are keeping all doors in the house usually open so the pet can easily walk between the rooms with no problem.
About: I have been working around animals pretty much my entire life, so much so that I have formal qualifications in animal care. I have experience working in Catteries which came with professional training on administering medication and treatments while on the job! I have a deep seated interest in cat and dog behaviour and psychology. I have studied this for years, employing what i have learnt onto my own furry friend to great effect, to the point that she performed on stage, in a rendition of "The Wizard of Oz" where she, of course, played the role of Toto I look forward to hearing from you and meeting all of your pets! I'm available all hours of the day and every day of the week! So if you need a dog sitter for your holiday in 3 months, or if you need one in 30 minutes, I'll be there! When I'm sitting with your dog I will do exactly what you need and request! If your dog has a specific regime then let me know and it'll be followed to the letter! I have a large amount of experience with giving medication to cats and dogs, so if your furry friend struggles with any health issue then let me know! That way you can rest easy knowing that they will be kept in peak health while you're away However if you have a dog that can be a little silly and needs to be trained or helped in some way then look no further! I have a triple distinction in animal care so I have the qualifications to make sure your furry friend is the happiest they can be! I can always offer the services of my own dog if that's something which floats your boat! She is a very well trained dog that has endless experience with helping other dogs, by giving them an example to follow if needed.
“Jessica came and looked after my 2 cats. She stopped in 2 times both times gave my cats fuss and fed them. She played with them and took photos so I could see that they were all okay. The communication was very good.”
“Another fabulous experience for our little pup with Veja and her family. We are now regulars of hers and have peace of mind that we are in good hands. Thanks a lot for your help and looking forward to August 😎”

Craig really understood our new anxious rescue girl and we had no hesitation in leaving her in his care while we were away. We got daily updates with photos and could see she was very well cared for with lots of cuddles and play. We would happily leave her with Craig again and highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for someone who really understands dogs and wants peace of mind that their furry friend is well cared for.

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.

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

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.
