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!!”
“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.”
“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 🤍”
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.
“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”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi, I’m Steph! I’m a primary school teacher and a huge animal lover. I’ve always grown up around pets and have plenty of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and rescue dogs. I’m also a proud owner of my own crazy Romanian rescue, so I understand that every dog is different and that some need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding. I’m comfortable with nervous, excitable and high-energy dogs and love getting to know their individual personalities and routines. As a teacher, I’m very flexible with my availability, particularly during school holidays and at weekends. I’m also available for evening visits and walks during term time, making it easy to fit around your dog’s usual routine. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some company while you’re out, feeding, cuddles or a little extra care, I’ll treat them as one of my own. I’m reliable, caring and genuinely love spending time with dogs — muddy paws and all! 🐶❤️ I’m available for walking and boarding, if you’d like to discuss specific times we can work these out together to ensure we get your pets needs met :) I will listen to any advice you give and look after in-line with your requests. I have crate trained dogs and have my own spare if needed.
About: Hi I'm Giulia! I absolutely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I share my life with a highly trained Belgian Malinois, and my partner also works closely with working dogs, so I’m very comfortable handling intelligent, energetic and sensitive breeds, as well as maintaining consistent routines and calm handling. I often care for my friend’s dog when they’re away from feeding schedules to long walks, playtime and cuddles. Whether your pet loves adventure, gentle company or quiet companionship at home, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work three days a week (Thursday/Friday/Saturday) and after my gym session I have plenty of time on my days off. I would love to walk dogs and take care of animals in the countryside. Happy to do overnights with your pups! I have plenty of space in the garden for you puppy to have a wander, the garden has a fence all around so it’s pretty secure.

I would be delighted to help you out and help give your pet the attention they need. I am able to help with walking of your dog, playing with them & giving the love they need. I am also happy to give them company when you go away on holiday / on business trips etc. I also have 2 cats of my own and love playing with them and keeping her company so would love to give your cat the same attention too. I work part time so I have plenty of time to walk, feed and entertain your dog or cat. I am available most mornings/ afternoons and some evenings.

About: Over 25 years experience as a dog owner from puppies all the way up to adulthood, also dog sitting for friends and family when required. I do not have any work commitments and want to spend my time doing what I love most which is looking after and caring for dogs I have a fully fenced secure garden and many lovely walks nearby. My house has plenty of room for the dogs to roam. I have a senior Labrador who loves company.
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: Growing up I’ve always been around dogs, from little chihuahua‘s to Great Danes. I frequently dog sit my grandparents yorkie when they go away, and shes old and a little reactive. I can confidently say I can care for any size dog, however if your pup is on the larger side and has reactivity issues Im not the sitter for you as I don’t have the experience or knowledge to safely care for your pup. That’s not to say big dogs are a complete no! As long as they’re friendly I’ll be happy to meet a few fur friend of any size I currently work Friday mornings part time, so plenty of time for your pets needs. Im flexible with how long I can spend with your pet, wether they need to be with me 24/7 (there is an option for them to be able to come to work with me, however it involves a lot of car travel. Please feel free to ask more about this!) or just need some company for an hour whilst your busy I currently have one cat, and shes very low maintenance. I get most of my experience from pet sitting for family members or volunteer work at shelters. I currently am able to pet sit in your own home and drop-ins for any animal, as well as solo walks for dogs (group walks can be discussed if the dogs know each other well or live together!) Your pet will be played with and loved, and above all, cared for
“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 😎”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I am very aware of animal resources in my community such as vet clinics, pet stores and dog friends parks. I currently work a 1 on 2 off shift pattern so I have 3-4 days a week free! I know my schedule well in advance and it very rarely changes. I have a fenced front and back garden. I have 2 dogs of my own to keep your pup company. I take my own dogs on at least 2 walks a day and would do the same with your fur baby too.

“Shernai was great for Freddie. It was our first time using this app, so concerns and overprotective thoughts regarding Freddie were always on our mind. However Shernai dealt with all of them in the nicest way possible, making sure to send us updates regarding Freddie and his wellbeing, he loved her! She gave him the nicest cuddles. It was a spot on choice to select Shernai to take care of him, will definitely contact her in the future !”

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.

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.
