About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a natural love for caring for them. My childhood dream was to become a vet! Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies and large breeds to senior and unwell dogs who need a little extra patience, care and attention. I’ve also grown up with a variety of cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different needs and temperaments. I currently have a Husky and a puppy of my own, so I’m very familiar with the energy, exercise and patience that comes with having dogs at different stages of life. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow your routines and give your pet the individual care and attention they’re used to. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime, prefers a quiet cuddle, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, happy and comfortable while you’re away ✨🐾 Monday – Friday: Available after work, from the evening onwards. Saturday – Sunday: Fully available and flexible throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and arrange specific times that suit you. 🐾 I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I’ll provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles and any other care they need. I’ll keep their space clean and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. 🐾

Whatever your pet needs can be arranged, I'm open to personalised requests based on your pets needs and will cater the service to provide the best care.

Amy was just what we needed. Our Paddy was at ease and the drop in time was great to get him in the garden and a bit of company. Amy was on time and great with communicating. Will be using again 🙂

About: I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision because I’m exactly the same with my own dog, Roo. She’s my daughter, and I would only ever leave her with someone I completely trust. That’s the standard of care I strive to provide for every pet I look after. As a professional dog walker, I hold a Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and a Level 4 qualification in Canine First Aid. Combined with my hands-on experience professionally working with dogs since the age of 14, these qualifications allow me to understand canine body language, recognise signs of stress or illness, and provide safe, enriching care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, pet sitting during the day, or providing overnight care in your own home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience and respect that I give Roo. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos throughout my time with your pet. My priority is always their safety, wellbeing and happiness, giving you confidence that they’re in caring, knowledgeable and professional hands. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I plan my days around the pets I look after. This allows me to provide reliable walks, pet sitting and overnight stays without rushing, ensuring every dog receives the time, attention and enrichment they deserve. My own rescue dog, Roo, is at the heart of my daily routine, so I understand how important consistency, exercise and companionship are. I carefully organise my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s sticking to their usual walking routine, feeding times, play sessions or simply providing company and reassurance while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive care, and I treat every dog as if they were a member of my own family. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I take the time to get to know every dog as an individual, understanding their routine, personality, likes, dislikes and any medical or dietary requirements, including allergies. As a professional dog walker with a Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and a Level 4 qualification in Canine First Aid, I’m trained to recognise canine body language and behaviour. This allows me to assess how a dog is feeling and adapt my approach to ensure they remain relaxed, comfortable and happy throughout their time in my care. I’m experienced with crate training and understand that some dogs benefit from having a safe, familiar space to relax. I can also provide quiet, calming areas where dogs can choose to rest away from other animals if they need time to themselves. Every dog is different, and I always respect their individual needs and boundaries. I have a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor time and share my home with my rescue dog, Roo, and my two cats. However, I appreciate that not every dog is comfortable around other animals. If your dog is nervous or prefers their own space, I can cater to their individual needs and carefully manage their environment to help them feel safe and secure. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel exactly the same about Roo. She’s a member of my family, and I provide every dog in my care with the same patience, kindness, respect and attention that I would want for my own pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your companion is in safe, experienced and caring hands.

About: I currently have 2 young cats, 1 is still just a kitten who was semi-feral when first adopted. I have previously owned dogs too. My last dog died 3 years ago, he was a labrador and was blind from around the age of 9 years old. He was a rescue and loved a beach trip. We would often be out on long walks, in all weather. I used to work in a veterinary practice so have experience of all types of cats and dogs, from overly playful to shy and nervous, both young and senior. I also have an HND in Animal Management. I currently work 4 days a week. I'm available on Fridays and weekends. I can also potentially provide pet care after 5pm Monday to Thursday. This will depend on my husband's work pattern and childcare. I am attentive to your pet's needs, and respectful of your property. I am honest, trustworthy, and reliable. I have experience of caring for my own pets as well as others.

About: Hi! I’m Chelsea 😊 I’ve owned multiple dogs at the same time for the majority of my life. Everything from chihuahuas to staffs. I absolutely love dogs, they’re my favourite humans (yes you read that right) I’m currently first aid and cpr trained so comfortable walking high energy, likely to get in a pickle dogs, puppies and elderly dogs needing extra care and attention. I’m more than happy to adapt to every dogs needs and demands to make their walk perfect for them. I am currently upgrading my skills with a level 3 award in canine care, behavior and welfare (ofqual standard) at the minute before I begin boarding and dog sitting from my home. I am the ever proud owner of my elderly chihuahua, Lexi who I love very much. She is one of my children. I’m used to walking 20k plus steps a day and love a good hike so am more than happy to provide bigger more strenuous walks for the high energy pups. I work part time, three days a week but finish on those days at 2pm so can still offer walks on those days too after that time I’m currently working part time leaving most of my week free for all your walking and dog sitting needs! I am free any day after 2pm and the majority of days free from 8am. I have a very large fenced back garden with plenty of running and playing space for your dog giving us a loads of opportunity for a good run up and down and some great games of fetch. Our garden is westerly facing for all the fury sunbathers out there with a large shaded area too! My home is all open plan for free roaming of the place and are more than happy for your doggies to cuddle up on the sofa with us!

About: Hi! I’m Martha, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with both big and small dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Dogs have always been such a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing, giving lots of fuss and cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own and follow their usual routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in safe, caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I currently work part-time and work am shifts. I work from 2am - 8am and I get home before my partner leaves so there is always someone in the flat and I get the rest of the day! We will have at least 2 long walks per day and live next to a big field where we go and chuck the ball on too. I have a big field next to my building to let the dogs run round and chase a ball, and also a long walks down by a nice river next to us which is perfect for the pooches! I have one small male dog who is the most comfortable and friendly dog! He has never had any incidents with other dogs and is super friendly and playful to other dogs. He knows to keep a distance from not so confident dogs and is very well trained!

Fiona is lovely and trust worthy. We were apprehensive about leaving our home and fur babies with someone we didn't know but got a great vibe from Fiona at the meet and greet and the cats took to her quickly. We are more than happy with the care Fiona took with our pets and home and will have no reservations about using her services in the future. She administered medication, fed and watered our pets, played with them, provided daily photos, videos and updates as well as bringing our mail in safely. 10/10!

It was the first time I have had to use a professional cat sitter. Emily is very professional in her work and asked the appropriate questions in regards to my cat’s routine. Emily introduced herself first to my cats and they both loved her. Emily sent me daily updates as well as videos. I will be using Emily for next time and I highly recommend Emily to any of my friends who may need a sitter in the future.

Phillipa has looked after our 6 month old puppy Milo a few times now and he absolutely loves her. She’s fantastic, always takes him on a good long walk and he’s always excited to see her🥰 She’s very accommodating and makes leaving Milo a lot more reassuring. We have never been worried while she’s had him! We will definitely continue to go to Phillipa and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter or dog walker xx

We'll definitely be using Eve again in a heartbeat :-) Eve was very quick to respond when we made our initial inquiry, and swiftly organised a free "meet and greet" at a suitable time. When we met Eve she was incredibly warm and friendly and her passion for animal care shone through. Eve's visits included administering medication for our cat as well as feeding, cleaning, and playing. Our cat is usually shy with new people but the photos show that she thoroughly enjoyed Eve's visits. It was very humbling seeing our cat's disappointed look when she realised it was us coming through the door and not Eve!

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.
