“Dorothea dog-sat at ours for 4 nights and was here the whole time, unlike some 'sitters' who go out to work or don't sleep over. She was marvelous with our 2 demanding mini-dachshunds. They fell for her within minutes, despite normally being very suspicious of strangers. Dorothea was highly responsive, accommodating and flexible with us and our dogs, as well as being a lovely person with an interesting background. She went out of her way to be super-helpful when she was here and left our house clean and tidy when she left. I have no hesitation in recommending Dorothea as a kind and thoughtful Dog-Sitter-Plus.”
“Vanessa was absolutely perfect. She made my rescue shorthair feel comfortable and gave space until they both became best buddies. I am well impressed by Vanessa’s calm and patient demeanour to Gucci, professionalism and friendly manners. What I also appreciated is that she took the time to come and meet Gucci first and didn’t force Gucci to interact. She just gave her time and space and ultimately she won Gucci’s heart and trust. I have no doubts I’ll book her again and again 🥳💕”
“Dogs happy and well on return from travels. Geoffrey was walking early as temperature were hot, keeping them well watered plus spending time in garden during evening once weather cooler. House was left neat and tidy. Shared pictures and had 3 new friends following him around or curled up on settee beside him. Would book again.”
“My puppy had a fantastic time being looked after by Julia, she is so caring and sends lots of regular updates of walks and play time. I would recommend Julia to anyone, her love for dogs and taking great care of them is clear to see. My dog can’t wait to visit again!”
“Amelia again took care of our little fur baby. She has so much patience, is very courteous and professional, and gives great reports. Our dog loves her. ❤️”
“Megan and Harry were absolutely stellar! They took care of Paddington at our house for an overnight stay and everything went great. Paddington can be quite nervous but they made him feel safe straight away and we found him very happy when we got back. We’ll definitely trust them with Paddington again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I got my first dog which was 4 years ago. I love caring for them and I am great at including some training with the dog or puppy as I trained my dog when he was a puppy. Im currently working full time as a teacher however I have weekends off as well as the school holidays off which means I can focus my full attention during those times. I ensure I follow what you (the owner) has mentioned and always putting the dogs/cats safety at the centre of everything. Also gaining a relationship with the dog will help.
“Tao was brilliant! Pancake was clearly very comfortable with her, which is always great for a dog who is shy. She was punctual, kept us informed and took really gorgeous photos. Will definitely book again!”
“Sam is a great guy. He's 100% reliable and trustworthy and was brilliant with my Cavapoo puppy 'Noodle'. Sam is really calm and reassuring and Noodle took to him straight away. It made me feel confident that Noodle was in very safe hands. I had a problem getting cover for one of the days I was away and Sam stepped in and saved the day. I will definitely be booking Sam again 😀”

“We are first timers using Rover.com so were a little unsure how it would all work. We were handing over our home as well as our dog after all! We needn't have worried :) Ella was great. She took on board all we said about our rescued Staffy-X and her idiosyncrasies! We came home to a very relaxed, happy dog, after a twelve-hour house sit. Thank you so much Ella - we have already made another booking.”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Spelthorne
Hayley is an exceptional dog-sitter. I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful, insisting on getting to know my dog, Grace, before the first sitting to ensure a comfortable transition. Her gentle and kind nature put Grace (and I!) at ease immediately. I looked forward to her lovely daily updates, which made it clear she was truly invested in giving Grace the best possible experience. Beyond the great pet care, she was extremely respectful of our home. It’s such a relief to travel knowing everything is in such capable, caring hands.
Sophie was a real gem. She house sat for us and took care of our cavapoo, Bella, when we went skiing over new year. She made the effort to meet up with us twice before the trip to meet Bella and walkthrough the house. Bella is a sensitive pup, but Sophie spent a lot of time with her, taking her for daily walks, administering her medication and cuddling with her on the couch. We received daily updates with pictures and also returned from the trip to a clean house and washed bedding. I could not recommend Sophie more!

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 Spelthorne 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 Spelthorne 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. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
