About: Hello and thank you for considering me to look after your furbaby. I've been an animal lover all my life and I've been a mum to four dogs (a chihuahua, a fox terrier mix, a Scottish terrier and an American Pitbull), 2 ragdoll cats, one rabbit, one pet rat, several parrots and budgies, two turtles and 3 goldfish. I now live in Ilchester with my husband and two cats. I'm really interested in pet nutrition, wellbeing and enrichment and I love spending time with furry, feathered or scaly friends. I have experience with shy/nervous dogs as two of our family dogs were quite timid around strangers. I'm fit and active so walks are never a problem and I enjoy providing some indoor play / training exercises too for curious doggies. I'm just as happy cuddling on the couch if you have a more laid back or senior pup. I know how daunting it can be to find someone to look after my pets when we go away so I decided to offer my services to people in my area. I'm lucky to be working from home so I won't have to leave your pet for long periods of time during the day. If you need someone to look after your dog or cat while you take a much deserved holiday, I'd be happy to help. I work from home as a part time marketing manager, which makes pet sitting possible. My schedule is also very flexible and I can work from anywhere. I know how worrying it can be when you're leaving your furbaby with someone else. During my stay I'll be sure to follow your pet's routine and any special instructions I'm given. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos. Your pet's wellbeing is my most important priority and I'll treat them with as much love and care as I would my own.
About: Hello! My name is Addie. I am a previous owner of a highly rated pet service business, now looking for some additional work on the side, in a field I enjoy. I am canine first aid trained, and understand the everyday needs for all types of animals. Thank you I have plenty of time for caring for pets between Monday - Fridays. Even when my schedule isn’t set in stone I can cater before and after work, and even some weekends. I always ensure an owners house is left in the exact way it was when I arrived. My best efforts go into keeping my work tidy and organised. When pets are in my own home, I always ensure everything is suitable and safe for them. My home is tidy and maintained and perfect for your loved pet.
About: Iv lived with animals all my life, grew up on a farm and have a passion for working with all types of furry friends! I have also been lucky enough to train my dogs, either from a pup or once rescued from all Sorts of backgrounds. I work closely with local rescue centres and have fostered, rehabilitated and trained some very beautiful and loving pooches. I absolutely love dogs, and working from home means I can dedicate plenty of time, care, and attention to them throughout the day. I previously had a much-loved medium-sized dog who was truly part of the family, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Although she’s no longer with me, my home is still very much set up with dogs in mind. I offer two daily walks, lots of companionship, and access to my small but secure, dog-friendly garden. Your pet would be welcomed warmly, treated with genuine affection, and cared for as if they were one of my own during their stay. My garden is fully fenced and completely safe. I have gates up in the home and doors to block and exits (just in case anyone tries to make a break for it)

About: Hello there! I'm Aaron, a military man, with a fascination with the world's perfect adorable little killing machine, I'm a very humourous individual however extremely professional when It comes to care, I love cats, they bring me great joy even if all they do is sit there, at a distance judging my life choices. I'm also a photographer by trade and would love to take some photos of any kitties I have consent to, I frequently visit cat cafes in order to get my photography/cat fix. I leave for work early, and come home around evening meal time, I can change my timings and carry on work from home, to suit the cats needs. When I'm with my partner who has our cats, our home is full of fun things for them to do, for example ignoring the nice cat toy and just play with the box it came in, cat trees, fish toys and other bits and pieces now make up the aesthetic of our home.

About: I am a dedicated animal lover, cat mother of 2 (4 and 6). Teacher by day and involved in looking after our many school animals too! My work hours are 8am until around 5pm so early mornings, evenings and weekends are flexible and available to help in any way I can I will show the upmost respect to your home and am happy to help with little jobs you may need whilst you are away for example

About: I’ve rescued cats my entire life and it’s my dream to one day have my own rescue centre. For the time being I have my own two little babies, my dear old cat who passed last year had strict diet and medication due to allergies, so I’m well experienced in caring for those with slightly more hands on needs! I work generally 9 -5 each weekday, in law but I have flexibility and can change this or work remotely when need be. I always make sure to spend a couple of days or at least lunches with my own kitties a few times a week, they get plenty of exercise! As I have my own fur babies I am mindful that their own comfort is not compromised, as well as the pet I’m caring for who I’m sure will prefer their own beds. I would therefore work in the pet owners home.
About: Experienced pet sitter of nearly 10 years. Leaving your pet is always difficult but they will be in good hands and have a mini holiday of their own! I’ve looked after all sorts of adorable pets from rabbits to horses and everything in between in flats, houses and farms and for the stars . I have two dogs of my own, and have an experience looking after nervous and reactive dogs and always ensure I follow owner’s instructions and what’s best for the animal (i.e. if space is needed around people or other dogs). Age of the animal isn’t a problem and I’m happy and experienced looking after young to old! They will always get love and attention and plenty of play time. I will always send photos and updates to the owner too. I currently work 9-5 Monday to Friday from home with only 1 week day in the office, I’m home on the weekends so plenty of time to help out. I have two dogs with my family at home. I will stick to your animals needs as much as possible so there is little disruption to their normal routine. Walking, feeding, sleep and play time. When booking, please make sure all instructions and schedules are provided so I can match it as close as possible.
About: I’ve always had a great love for animals, especially dogs. I’ve had family dogs growing up and adore the family dog that we currently have. I lived abroad in Canada for over a year and had the pleasure of working in a dog day care. I learned a great deal more about dogs and how each dog has different needs. I’ve always had the general knowledge for looking after pets, but working at the day care in Canada gave me a huge insight into much more. I have also completed an veterinary assistant online course, where I learned how to perform CPR on a dog and spotting signs for when they may need help or attention. I’m also very active and love going for walks, which is why I’d be happy to take other’s dogs for walks.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. And I am completely obsessed with all dogs 😍 I say hello to dogs more than humans and have never had any problems with dogs in the slightest 🫶🏻 I am new to this app as this is something I’d love to do, but thought this would be a good starting point. I have a Jack Russell myself that lives with my parents and we take him on such lovely walks and I know lots of nice walking areas! I also absolutely love photography so I’m sure I’ll be sending you lots of lovely pictures aswell 😊😂 I do have 2 jobs already but it has some flexibility so with enough notice I’m sure I can make it work. I absolutely love going on walks and if it means taking a furry friend for a lunchtime walk I’d absolutely love that! It gets me out of the house aswell 😊🫶🏻 I am always extra careful when letting dogs off the lead and would only do that if your dog is well trained and you agree to it. I am an incredibly safe and well trusted person.
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kind, and grown up with them too. From hamsters and guinea pigs, to my 13 year old dog, I think all pets deserve the very best care. I’m an air hostess flying internationally, and would love to look after your fur babies in my free time !! I’m full time flying, so my days are random and not set. This means I have availability for every day of the week, if you send me a message I can let you know if I’m available that day! Thanks :) I love to have a set structure so any rules you have please send them my way. I love looking after them and want to keep them as happy and secure as they feel around you!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

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 Somerset 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.
