“Kaitlin looked after our dog for the first time and he was so happy when we got home, we were nervous as we’d never left him with anyone else before but we had no reason to be nervous at all. During the meet and greet Kaitlin was great and interacted with our boy so well, and seeing him so happy when we returned put me completely at ease. We will definitely book with Kaitlin again. Thank you so much ☺️”
“Thank you so much to both of you for looking after our little boy at such short notice! I cannot thank you enough. Rudy was welcomed with open arms, into a lovely home, and cared for brilliantly. He’s quite an apprehensive dog when meeting new people, but he soon settled in, and as Jas told me, stealing the show! See you again soon! Would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Darryl was absolutely incredible! So easy going, good sense of humour and a real professional! Can see he absolutely loves animal's and brings clam and positive energy to your home. I have very high maintenance indoor cats and one that’s extremely nervous! So to be sent photos of them playing and sitting with him was everything! 🥹 My house was spotless when I got back! So grateful! I have already booked Darryl again for the summer as I wouldn’t want to miss out on having him! The peace of mind is everything! Knowing the cats were happy and the house was looked after! Thank you Darryl, you are a star! ⭐️”
“If it was possible to leave more than 5 stars we would! Cat looked after Florence and our house for us for nearly 5 weeks while we were on holiday. Florence had a great time and adored Cat and her partner. We had daily updates with doggy news and pictures. These were very much appreciated. Thank you Cat! 😁❤️”
“Lesley is a genuine 5-star dog sitter, and we 100% recommend her. She is incredibly patient and has a wonderful way of helping dogs feel calm and reassured, especially those who can become nervous, anxious, or overexcited when their owners leave. She takes the time to build trust, allowing each dog to settle at their own pace. As a highly experienced dog owner and PAT dog handler, Lesley understands dog behaviour and knows how to adapt to each dog's individual personality and needs. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and that comes across in everything she does. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with kindness, patience, and understanding, you won't find many better. Whether your dog is confident or needs a little extra reassurance, you can leave them with Lesley knowing they'll be in safe, caring hands. A truly 5-star sitter, and someone we would recommend without hesitation.”
“Sam was wonderful. As it was the first time Sam sat for us he arranged a pre visit which was brilliant as we got to know a little bit about Sam and it was great to see how he interacted with our dog. During his stay he kept us updated with pictures and videos and he left the house immaculate and one very happy pooch.”
“Liv looked after my dog Bella and my snake Dante, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s really friendly, and Bella absolutely loves her. She followed all of my instructions, including Bella’s medication, and took great care of both pets. I also came home to a lovely, tidy house. I would definitely recommend Liv to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Andrew looked after our 6month old xl bully for 24hrs/overnight. He sent regular updates/photos. Followed feeding & sleeping routines. Arrived on time. Took good care in our home. I would not hesitate to use Andrew again. Everything was perfect! Thank you so much ? 5?”
“Hayley sat for my old boy Jasper(dog) in our own home for 11 days whist we were on holiday. She kept us up to date with videos and photos so we knew that he was being well looked after. On our return, the house was clean & tidy & Jasper was really content. Hayley is so warm & friendly and I would 100% recommend her to anyone requiring a house sit. I will definitely use Hayley again in the future.”
“Chi was a superstar dogsitter: reliable, responsible, and loving towards our senior dog. She sent pictures throughout and left our house spotless. Chi followed our instructions to the letter, including administering fairly complex medicine. Communication was superb too. Highly recommended and will definitely book with her again!”
“Georgina is fantastic! She's so lovely and personable and got on with my dog straight away. She kept me up to date all day with pictures and videos which made being away from him so much easier! Bertie bonded with her straight away and had no issues being left with her. She completely understood the terrier bread and the quirks that go along with it. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter that will treat their dog like their own ?”
About: I have always had dogs so I have experience taking care of my own and other people's puppies, active and senior dogs so I can provide the best care for your furry friend. I'm currently working part-time on mixed shifts so I have plenty of time to look after your pets and take the for walks no matter how long. I have experience walking my dog up mountains so I can walk very energetic dogs. If I look after your pet at your home I will discuss your pets needs with you to ensure your pet gets the best treatment
“Jen took care of our dog, Max, for a week at our home while we were on holiday, and all I can say is that Jen is brilliant! From the initial booking right through to the end of our stay, communication was fantastic. She looked after Max amazingly, and he clearly had a wonderful time with her. She stuck to his normal routine and spent lots of quality time with him, which gave us great peace of mind. Jen also took great care of our home. She was incredibly clean and tidy and left the house in a lovely condition for our return, even hoovering, washing, watering plants and taking bins out. She kept us updated every day while we were away, which was especially reassuring as we were anxious about leaving Max for the first time. We would 100% recommend Jen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet and home. We will definitely be booking her again in the future. We honestly can't thank Jen enough! ❤️”
“Antonia arrived on time and even gave me an ETA on when she would arrive, which I thought was amazing. Our dog settled really well with her and when I got back I found my dog asleep right by Antonia’s feet, which was so lovely to see and very reassuring. She gave Treacle her medicine on time. Antonia is a very friendly lady and cared greatly for my precious girl. Thankyou so much. The only thing I would recommend would be updates of her movements during the day. It would have been nice to have a message to say she’d had her medicine ok. Other than that I can’t fault her care with this lovely lady. We would definitely book her again should I have another dog, unfortunately our girl passed away 3 days later.”

I cannot recommend Cherelle highly enough. She looked after my dogs Coco and Bella while I was away on holiday and provided exceptional care from start to finish. Throughout my time away, she regularly sent updates, photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to relax knowing my dogs were happy, safe and well cared for. It was clear from every update that they were receiving plenty of attention and affection. She is also a genuinely pleasant, friendly and professional person to deal with. One of my dogs can be quite cheeky at times, but this never seemed to faze her. She handled everything with patience, kindness and a good sense of humour. I returned home to two happy, content dogs, and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of them.

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 Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire 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.
