“Daniel was very kindly able to accommodate my booming request at short notice and came by to meet the cats and understand their routine the next day. He was very friendly, polite and reliable and kept me updated on how it’s going at home while I was away. I’d be more than happy to rebook when the need comes up again. Thanks, Dan!”
About: I have always loved animals and especially cats. When I was a child we adopted a stray cat who decided to come and live in our garden, I spent many months getting her to gain her trust before officially adopting her. Our lovely cat gave me such joy which I now am keen to share with your pets. I am currently working part time with dog walks and cat sitting. I am flexible around around your schedule and what works best for you. I have a fenced garden and secure home, living near the local park for easy access for green space. I am also within driving distance of bushy park for even more green space.
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a home that always had dogs, my parents had a Westland Terrier as well as two Border Terriers after, my grandad had a range of big dogs but mostly German Shepherds, and I've had Aunties and Uncles who's dogs have ranged from a Yorkshire Terrier to Boxers. I've looked after them all, caring for pets is second nature to me. I have hands-on, everyday experience managing dogs of various breeds, sizes, and energy levels. In my professional life, I work as an administrative assistant. This means I am naturally organized, highly punctual, and a clear communicator. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, which is why I prioritize keeping owners updated with regular notes and plenty of photos during walks or drop-ins! Working in TV broadcasting means my schedule isn't your standard 9-to-5! I frequently have Mondays through Wednesdays completely free and regularly work from home on other weekdays. This gives me fantastic midweek flexibility—whether your pup needs a midday walk to break up the day, an energetic park run, or a drop-in visit while you're at the office. As a dedicated dog owner myself—currently sharing my home with a wonderfully energetic Corgi—I know firsthand how much love, structure, and attention our pets need daily. When caring for your dog, my goal is to maintain their exact routine in an environment where they feel safe, secure, and completely at ease. In Your Home: Respect & Security: I treat your home with total care. I double-check that all doors, gates, and entry points are locked before leaving, and I follow any instructions regarding alarm systems or house rules. Custom Care Routine: I strictly follow your feeding, medication (if applicable), and comfort instructions so your pet experiences zero stress while you are away. Out on Walks: Leash Safety First: I keep dogs securely on-leash unless we are in a fully enclosed, private area specified by you. Environmental Awareness: Corgis are naturally alert, so I am very used to keeping an eye on our surroundings! Weather Considerations: I adjust walk intensity and duration based on the weather— we stay in the shade and I'll have water with me during summer and are wiped clean during wet months.
About: I’ve had many years of owning and looking after dogs. I’ve often had the pleasure of dog sitting for my friends too. I live opposite a big park so your dog will get lots of exercise if required. I have also had the pleasure of looking after other small pets. I’m currently working on as a teacher so have the weekends and school holidays available. I’m also free in the evening after 5pm. I have a fenced garden which is of a good size. We have a park opposite the house which is easily accessible. The dog will be able to stay inside at night and day.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and love them so much. Whenever any of my friends or family go on holiday, I’m always the first person they call to pet sit. Through word of mouth my dog sitting hobby has grown! I also volunteered with RSPCA for multiple years I do work full time however whenever I know I am going to be pet sitting, I switch to working from home. I am pretty flexible. I will not have any other animals in my house when looking after someone’s pet. It will always be a one at a time situation. I live in a secure house with an unfenced garden but plenty of walking opportunities! there are little to no rules for pets. They can join me for a snuggle on the sofa :)
“Sarah looked after my cat over a long weekend and did a great job! It was so reassuring coming home to a well looked after pet. She is very reliable and gives great updates. I would highly recommend!”
About: I have over 3 years of dedicated experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. My neighbours and family trust me because I am punctual, communicative, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to provide daily photo updates so you can travel with peace of mind. I am a student currently in class from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of these hours, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care! I am available for late afternoon walks, evening check ins, and have full availability on weekends for boarding or sitting. Because I am home all evening and night, your pet will receive plenty of focused attention, playtime, and supervised socialization with my own dogs. Safety is my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can play safely. I have a friendly dog of my own who love making new friends, but I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. For pets that prefer their own space, I can easily use crates or separate rooms as needed. When sitting at an owner's home, I follow all house rules strictly, ensure all doors/gates are locked, and provide regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy
“Daniel is great my dog really likes him and they always have a fun walk. He is kind patient and you can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks he’s always on time super organised and really reliable I never have to worry about Prince when he’s with him. I’d trust Daniel any day and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a safe and dependable dog walker”
“Emma has been a fantastic cat sitter all round for us; picking up what was a very last minute booking, being quick to respond, really flexible with timings and instantly got along with the cats during a preliminary visit. She was punctual and thorough with each visit and detailed when it came to filling in the rover card. We loved seeing all the pictures of our cats she provided and could plainly see they enjoyed her visits! A very reliable person who we’ll absolutely be booking again :)”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time dog mum and work from home, which means your dog will have company, supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ve had two dogs in the past and now share my home with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Baileys. Raising her has given me hands-on experience with puppy training, daily routines, positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, I only accept fully vaccinated, friendly dogs who are comfortable around other dogs, as they’ll be spending time with Baileys. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout most of the day. Walks, playtime, toilet breaks and rest will all be tailored to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm and smoke-free home with my friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Baileys. I only accept fully vaccinated dogs that are friendly with other dogs.

“Absolutely brilliant – yet again! I love the videos and photos she sends, and I really appreciate how affectionate she is with my cats. They’re so fond of her, and I’ve become a fan too. 😺😺”
“We booked Sandra for 5 days 2 visits per day for our cat.She was so caring coming through the xmas period and even brought our cat some treats.Will definitely be booking with Sandra again.Sent us photos twice a day of our cat.”
About: I have had pets the last 30 plus years. Until recently I had 2 massive ginger toms, TJ and Boo and a border collie called Dino. Sadly, my last furry friend passed away. I miss them. I plan on getting a dog at some stage but it’s early days so in the meantime my daughter suggested I register with Rover. I’ve always looked after dogs and cats for my friends and neighbours since I was a child. I love animals - my best thing is going for a walk in nature with a furry friend. I even took my cats for walks round our very large garden - well they would follow me! I’m semi-retired and work from home. We have had pets in the house for years - we are relaxed about beds and furniture and are happy for pets to sleep in the bedrooms either in their bed or on the bed! I have a very large garden and a small woods. I always go out into the garden with any pets I look after. I live on the river so may not be suitable for any dog that’s crazy about water - as soon as they see it they dive in! Dino, my border collie, would only go in if he could see the bottom! Obviously happy to have getting to know you visits beforehand. Before going on walks I do a recall assessment so I can gauge how responsive they are. I trained Dino with lots of positive reinforcement - am happy to use treats too if permitted by owner.
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.
“Kirsty was great, she is flexible and reliable, arrived on time and stayed for a good half hour at each visit. She is easy to contact and responds promptly. We are very happy with how she looked after Tig, not just feeding but also playing and petting him. Thank you Kirsty. :) ”
About: I’ve got a ginger cat called Ollie who is 10 years old. Our family dog was 16 and she passed away last year. I’ve volunteered on and off for 4 years at a cat & rabbit rescue. I have also volunteered at a farm. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I care for my own cat, Ollie, and regularly volunteer with animals. I currently volunteer at a farm and have also volunteered at cat and rabbit rescues. I am available on Tuesdays, Fridays and weekends, and I enjoy spending my time caring for animals, going on walks and making sure pets are happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality and individual needs, and I follow any instructions provided by the owner. Safety is very important to me, whether that’s making sure doors and gates are secure, providing fresh water and food, or keeping a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to give owners peace of mind while they are away.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Emilie provided for my four cats. She was incredibly reliable, and knowing they were in such capable hands meant I was able to relax and truly enjoy my time away. She kept in touch throughout my trip, sending regular photos and videos after each visit, which was so reassuring. If she wasn’t sure about something or there were different options, she’d check with me first, which I really appreciated. It was obvious from the start that she has a great deal of experience with animals. Even my shyer cats, who don’t usually warm to new people quickly, were happily taking treats from her hand and playing with her almost straight away, which says everything about how comfortable they felt with her. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and professional pet sitter. She’ll definitely be my first choice whenever we need someone to look after our cats in the future.
Miya is such an amazing beautiful soul. I asked her to come as a drop in visit to check on my two cats while I was away and we met beforehand and I showed her around and introduced her to one of the cats as the other is very shy around new people, however, the update photo's and videos Miya sent were of both of the cats which reassured my trust in her even more. She played with them and made sure their litter was clean while I was away. Amazing experience to know they were in such safe hands. Definitely rebooking with Miya for all of my trips and holidays 🥰🥰

Koda has done a number of drop in visits with my dog and cat and has been great with them both. She took the time to get an understanding of them both and what they needed throughout the day and was so great with them both that they instantly warmed to her. She kept me updated with photos and videos during the visits and I had total peace of mind knowing she was looking after them. I would highly recommend and will continue to use Koda
She took great care of our cats for almost a week when I went on a trip abroad. She made sure to keep us posted about our pets during each visit, tended well to their needs, and kept our flat clean. She was also very flexible with a last-minute extension when my return flight was moved due to a storm. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.
Nina showed a lot of care to both are younger boundless energy Labradoodle and our older, sleepy, Pointer, during very hot weather...probably too much as they are not used to so much care! ;-) Made sure water was topped up and supplied snacks and made sure they had a small run around in the garden. Arrived on time and stayed with them for nearly an hour. Thank you.

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.
