About: I have grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love and understanding of pets. I have had dogs throughout my life, including a Labrador for 12 years and currently have my 7-year-old Cockapoo, Monty, who is energetic, friendly and loves walks, cuddles and playing tug of war. I regularly walk him at local nature reserves, provide his meals, grooming, bathing and brushing, and make sure he receives plenty of exercise, enrichment and attention. I also have experience caring for a variety of dogs through my mum’s dog sitting business, where I regularly help look after dogs in our home and join in with walks and care routines. I have looked after many breeds including Cockapoos, Shih Tzus, King Charles Spaniels, Maltese, Bichon Frises, Cavapoos, Dachshunds, Yorkies, French Bulldogs, Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels and more. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities. I have experience caring for nervous dogs who need reassurance, more independent dogs who prefer their own space, energetic dogs who need lots of play and exercise, puppies learning routines, and older dogs who may need extra patience, guidance with mobility, medication or a calmer pace. I enjoy making dogs feel comfortable, safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for a walk, having playtime, giving cuddles, keeping to their usual routine or cleaning up after puppies during toilet training, I am happy to provide reliable and caring support for every dog I look after. I am currently studying at university and have a flexible routine that allows me to fit dog walks and check-ins around my timetable. I am available all day on my non-university days and holidays but I am also happy to offer evening visits after university. I understand that dogs thrive on routine, so I will always make sure I have enough time to provide reliable care, exercise and attention. When caring for your dog, I will make sure to stick to their normal routine as consistent as possible. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, toilet breaks, exercise, medication and any specific needs your dog may have. During check-ins, I will spend time giving your dog attention, play, cuddles and reassurance, while also making sure they have everything they need. For walks, I will make sure your dog is safely secured before leaving the home, follow the owner’s preferences for routes and exercise, and provide a safe and enjoyable walk. I will always respect your home, communicate any updates and provide photos so you know your dog is happy and well cared for.
About: I've taken care of dogs since a young age when my family would dog sit for their friends. I regularly dog sit for one of my previous colleagues for up to 2 weeks at a time. Please Note: I generally do not accept bookings where cats are present at the property. Exemptions may apply but I must be informed before the booking is placed that cats will be present. This is due to allergies. Because I work remote, it means that I am able to be anywhere when I work which means that your pets will get the upmost attention that they deserve. I have a fenced area at the front of the property they can play on or a large park right next to me which is great for runs, walks and games. If needed, I can crate your dogs. My bed is fair game if they want to nap on it.
“Devon was really reassuring, communicative, and respectful. From the photos they sent, my dog seemed to have a lovely time. My requests were completed and I will definitely be using again.”
About: Growing up with dogs has instilled in me a profound love and respect for these loyal companions. My childhood taught me invaluable lessons in compassion, responsibility, and understanding the needs of dogs. I am committed to treating your pet with the same care and affection that I provided to my own cherished dogs in the past. Rest assured, your furry friend will receive dedicated attention and a nurturing environment while in my care. Balancing pet care within my part-time work schedule and weekends off as a dog sitter involves meticulous planning and dedication. During weekdays, I focus on afternoon visits, ensuring dogs receive essential care such as feeding, exercise, and companionship. This schedule allows me to cater to their daily needs while accommodating my work commitments. On weekends, with more time available, I dedicate myself fully to dog sitting. I extend walks, engage in longer play sessions, and provide additional attention to ensure each dog's well-being and happiness. This comprehensive approach not only meets their physical requirements but also nurtures a strong bond through consistent interaction and care. Overall, my routine revolves around providing reliable and loving support during afternoons on weekdays and full attention on weekends, creating a fulfilling experience for both the dogs and their owners. In my home, where I have a fenced garden, I ensure pets receive exceptional care in a safe and stimulating environment. Dogs under my watch enjoy regular access to the outdoors, where they can play, exercise, and explore freely within the confines of the secure fencing. This setup allows them to engage in natural behaviors while ensuring their safety.

I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to provide care for either part of the day or full-day sessions depending on your needs. I take pet care seriously and make sure feeding times and walks are always completed on schedule. I use reminders when needed to ensure pets are well looked after, comfortable, and receive consistent care and attention throughout the day. I currently don’t work so I have plenty of time on my hands to look after a dog or a cat and almost every day I’m free.

About: I have looked after dogs since I was 9 years old, ranging from little pups to older dogs, and absolutely love them all! I have a lot of experience in caring for puppies and know how to crate train, keep ‘place’ as well as basic commands if needed, but can care for your loving pet exactly how you would want me to :) I am currently dog sitting both at other people’s houses and my own. My own house has a large fenced garden next to a big park, perfect for walkies! I have a fenced, safe garden that is well maintained and do not own my own pets at current. I maintain a clean and organised home with space for crates, toys, and everything your dog requires! I live with my parents who also have experience in caring for other people’s dogs and previously owned our own.
About: Hello, my name is Alice and I have a strong passion for all things animals. Whether it be as big as horses or livestock or as small as cats and everything in between. I am fully insured and have been around animals my whole life and owned my own animals for 22+ years. I have 2 horses and a cat who are my absolute world, my cat lives with my horses on the farm. But in the past I have also owned 2 dogs. Although I now don’t have a dog of my own, I have looked after and fostered multiple dogs over many years and have also volunteered at veterinary practices too, both small animal and equine. If any of my friends or friends of the family need their dogs looking after, they always come to me. If you’re anything like me, your animals are like your world and any animals I look after would be treated no differently. I have a full driving license and own my own car so location, whether it be down country lanes or not accessible by public transport would be no issue for me to reach. Not only am I a pet sitter on Rover, I also offer services separate to on here for people who prefer to communicate on text/whatsapp or pay via bank transfer/cash. I’m happy to meet you in advance to see if you think I’d be the right fit for you and your animals needs. I work part time during the week and occasional evening or weekend but I work remotely so can work from your house if I’m house sitting as long as there’s good working wifi, so no need for your animals to be left on their own all day. If your dog comes to stay at my house, I have a fully fenced large garden and spacious house, I would treat your animal like I would treat my own, with the upmost care and love. If I look after your animals in your home, it would no different, I am a very tidy individual and your house would be left neat and tidy.

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.
