“Amanda has been a great sitter for us, for me and for Bentley, on long work days I've been able to relax knowing he's in capable hands. Amanda takes care checking the temperature on hot days and touching the pavement to see if its too hot for paws etc. My dog is overweight so she tempts him with his toys and balls to make sure he gets a bit of movement in on visits. I like the detail Amanda gives when they go out on a longer walk, you can see how long exactly and where around the neighbourhood. He may lunge at other dogs and Amanda is so reassuring to me letting me know if she sees another dog coming she'll cross the road. Thank you so much again!”


About: My family and I have had 3 dogs over my lifetime. I frequently take the dog for long walks, brush, bathe, cuddle and feed her! I have just finished my university exams so have lots of free time to spend outdoors and with animals, which I love! I can’t think of a better combination. I live in a flat, it is spacious enough however, I wouldn’t be offering a service to look after the pets in my own place.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats in the local area. Neighbours, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and keep pets company whilst they are on holiday! I have recently finished university and am available to help whilst I look for a full-time job! I am flexible and have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets on weekdays and weekends I have a fenced garden and two friendly golden retrievers that would love to keep your fur babies company! I will also stick to the regular routine that they are familiar with

“Cannot recommend tom enough. I usually have mabel at home on Tuesdays, and have fell sick. I messaged Tom last minute to ask if he’d take Mabel for a walk, and he was more than happy to. Would recommend him to anyone ❤️”

About: Experienced dog and cat owner who currently works at home 4 days out of 5. Mainly experience with small dogs and more recently cats, although at the moment my home is pet free. Working from home every day apart from Tuesday. I am on work calls at different times through the day, but plenty of time to take out for toilet breaks and walks in St Alban parks which are close by. Your dog will have the run of the apartment, but there is no garden space. I’ll only ever be looking after one small dog at a time, so your furry friend will get my focussed attention and care.

About: I’m a friendly, caring, and welcoming pet sitter who truly loves spending time with animals. Over the past few years, I’ve looked after the pets of friends, family, and local neighbors, building wonderful relationships along the way. What started as helping out those close to me has grown into caring for many local pups, and I’ve found so much joy and fulfillment in every wagging tail and happy face. I currently work from home a few days a week which allows me look after others pets while they may be at work or away. I spend most of my time at home working during the day and get out for a walk a couple of times a day. I live in a one bedroom flat with plenty of room to allows your pup to have room to play. With access to outside spaces.

About: Hi! I have just graduated from uni of Liverpool studying psychology and in my spare time I’m hoping to meet lots of new dogs! I also work at puppy yoga (check it out on insta!) which I absolutely love and have a developed a lot of experience with dogs. I hope I will be a good match for various dogs, especially those who like long walks and love to run around and play fetch! I have just graduated from the university of Liverpool, so have plenty of spare time and thus I am very flexible with timings and dates. I live near Batchwood golf course, Bernard’s Heath and Verlanium Park so ready to go for some nice adventures around there! :) Can easily fit around your dogs needs

About: I grew up with dogs and have looked after them for 26 years. From training puppies, to looking after senior dogs, to looking after dogs that have gone through operations that need a lot of aftercare, I can give your dog all the love and attention it needs. I owned a Cocker Spaniel and a Welsh Springer spaniel so I am also used to very energetic dogs. I love animals and will go above and beyond to give dogs the love, attention and walks that it needs. I live in a two story house with a big garden, and I have a car so can easily drive to wherever. I enjoy walks in the countryside but also walks at the local parks so we cater to different needs. I would love to have my own dog now but I travel too much so I would love to look after your lovely animal and have a companion when we are home! I work from home on Monday, Thursday and Friday and I can also be flexible Tuesday and Wednesday too as I can alter my working days in the office. I can plan my working hours and meetings around what works! I am also available at weekends. I have a large fenced, secure garden and a local park a few minutes walk away. Pets are allowed to cuddle up to me on the sofa, fully roam the house, and sleep in the bedroom with me. I would always prioritise your preferences as an owner to maintain a seamless routine and any lifestyle requirements your pooch needs.

About: I cared for my own medium-sized dog for 15 amazing years, so I truly understand that pets are family. That experience taught me how to handle every stage of a dog’s life—from energetic puppy zoomies to the gentler needs of senior care. I’m confident in giving medications, recognizing behavioral cues, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my calm, patient nature and genuine love for animals. I take the time to connect with each pet’s unique personality and make sure they feel right at home—even when they’re missing their humans. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or just quiet company, I’m here to provide the same level of care I gave my own dog for over a decade. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention—so your pet will never feel lonely or neglected. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can keep things consistent and stress-free.

“Amazing dog walker, my husky was completely exhausted when he got back. I booked her yesterday and she managed to make a meet and greet and walk him the next day early morning. I'm so grateful for her as I'm moving house and on a strict timetable.”


“Katie was wonderful! Nala loved spending time and walking with Katie. They went on so many adventures that I wasn’t expecting! Katie gave Nala more than I could have imagined and I’m truly grateful. I’d definitely use Katie again. She is reliable and fun! Thank you so much Katie 🥰”


About: I am a lifelong dog lover! I grew up with numerous pups through my life and love getting to spend as much time with them as possible! I have walked professionally previously which was lots of fun. Now I have a pup of my own who is a crazy ball of fun and sass. I love getting to spend my time with her and with all her pup friends! I am currently focusing on my health away from my career so I am free to dog walk through the week and have a very flexible schedule. Mostly I am just looking to bring some joy to pups lives! I care for all dogs as if they were my own. I take all precautions possible and will ensure to have full conversations with each owner to ensure their dogs needs are taken care of.

About: Whilst newer to my pet sitting journey on Rover, I bring over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Having grown up with energetic labradors & Springer Spaniels as family pets and of more recent years as a proud pet owner myself of a black cat, I understand the importance of trust and consistency in a pet sitter. Having used Rover as a customer, I know firsthand what makes a great sitter, and I’m committed to offering the same high level of care I’ve come to expect. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or taking your furry friend on an adventure, I’m here to ensure your pet feels safe, and happy while you're away. Im fortunate to work from my home in central St.Albans meaning I can fit care for your little one around my schedule. I have complete flexibility with my schedule so can work around your needs. I will ensure I follow your instructions on how to care for your pet in your home, making sure that when you return home it’s exactly how you left it and that your pets are kept in their usual routines.

“This was the first time Ben was walked by someone he didn't know, and so we were apprehensive and I had only booked for a half an hour walk with Max as a trial run. As it was, it was obvious that Ben had clearly enjoyed his walk with Max, and I could see Ben still bonding with Max on their return, Ben giving Max a favourite chew toy, and his best ragged toy and following that up with a little zoomy of excitement! It was lovely to see. Max is a polite, personable young man and yes I would be more than happy to let him walk with Ben again. Thank you Max.”

Francesca H.
“Francesca has looked after our dog for both short and longer stays from puppy to senior years. Our dog absolutely adores her and is extremely happy to be left with her. Francesca has proven herself to be a trustworthy, reliable and responsible dog sitter . She has dealt with medical issues sympathetically and competently and shows loving nature towards our dog . I would not hesitate in recommending Francesca to look after other dogs .”


Nikolas K.
“I've known Nikolas for years and can vouch for his love and care for animals. He’s looked after my boxer, Hector, a few times—always with patience and attention. Boxers can be anxious and intense, especially when their family leaves, but Hector lights up every time Nikolas shows up. Friendly, reliable, and truly understands animals.”

She's absolutely fantastic with dogs—both her own and mine—and has a natural way with them. She's incredibly organised, always punctual, and takes genuine pride in everything she does. I’ve always felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care. Beyond her skills with animals, she's just a genuinely lovely person—helpful, upbeat, and full of positive energy. Any dog (and dog owner!) would be lucky to have her ❤️”


Sophie R.
