“Caryn was amazing! Looked after our fur babies wonderfully, lots of picture updates which was lovely to see. Caryn went above and beyond and we felt so reassured our babies were in safe hands, left the house immaculate, would definitely recommend Caryn”

“I was very sceptical of having someone in our home . We had a 10 month old pup who had never been on her own ,as a week before we were going on holiday our other dog died. They were both booked in for the kennels we use.we didn’t want her to go the kennels on her own . I did a lot of research and came upon Arlete . The first meeting Luna was all over her , they do say animals sense good people , this made me feel at ease, we went for a walk with Luna and we both talked, it was like we new each others for years . There was a mistake on my side about time , we needed to go an hour earlier, Arlete was fantastic, she responded very fast to my texts and was there earlier. All though the holiday she sent pictures and we texted about Luna how she was . She took her for walks, couldn’t have asked for more . The house was clean and tidy. I’d definitely 100 percent have Arlete again, for Luna loved her .”

About: About Us: We’re a couple in our 20's based in Stone, Staffordshire. We’ve grown up around dogs and other pets and treat every animal in our care as if they were our own. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Pets are welcome to roam freely around the house and settle in as part of the family (all furniture allowed!). We love spending time outdoors and regularly explore local walks and hikes, including the Peak District, so we’re happy to offer stimulating walks and adventures where suitable. Alongside dogs, we’re also comfortable caring for other animals, including cats and small pets. You can expect: loving care, regular updates, and complete peace of mind. We both work hybrid roles, meaning we have a good mix of home and office working. This allows us to be flexible dependant on your needs. We live in a 3-bedroom home with a fully fenced secure garden, giving plenty of space to relax and play. With no children or pets, your pet will get our full attention and a calm, comfortable environment.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with a wide range of animals. I’ve grown up caring for cats, dogs, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable adapting to different temperaments, routines, and needs. I’m especially confident with young pets, helping reinforce basic training, good habits, and consistent routines. I also provide attentive senior care, making sure older pets are comfortable, supported, and given the extra patience they need. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual—paying close attention to their personality, behaviour, and wellbeing so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work 9–5, so I’m available for morning visits before work and evening visits afterwards, making sure pets are fed, exercised, and comfortable at the start and end of each day. On weekdays, I plan my schedule so each pet gets consistent care and attention, and I’m fully available for longer visits, drop-ins, or overnight stays during evenings. On weekends, I have much more flexibility, so I can offer extended care, multiple visits, or more time with your pet. I always make sure pets’ routines are followed closely, so they feel settled and well looked after even when their owners are away. Always happy to discuss in more details I tailor my care depending on the service and what each pet is used to, so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding, fresh water, cleaning (including litter trays), exercise, and playtime. I take time to understand their personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or independent, and make sure they get the right level of attention. I’m especially mindful of keeping their environment calm and familiar, which is important for cats and more sensitive pets like reptiles. I can also provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. If caring in my home (if applicable), I create a safe, clean, and quiet environment where pets can settle in comfortably. I keep routines consistent, supervise them closely, and make sure they have plenty of enrichment, attention, and rest. I’m careful to introduce any new environment gradually, especially for more delicate or routine-driven animals. We have a fenced garden Across both settings, I focus on reliability, cleanliness, and making sure every pet feels secure, well cared for, and treated like my own.
“Charley is so lovely and such a kind person! She was so calm, kept the house super tidy and which is the most important Newton loved her!! 🥰 I will definitely be booking Charley again for the next time we are away! Thank you so much for taking care of our beautiful Newton! ♥️ x”


About: I am a mature lady, who has had cats up to 4 living together with my family and I. My profession is a nurse for over 30 years experience. I adore all animals and love to be around them. I can give medication as and when required and will look after your pet like it’s my own. I’m a fun loving who likes walking and travel.
About: From growing up with dogs, cats gerbils and more, I have based my life around animal care. I have worked in zoos and rescue centres. I have conducted long term research on wild monkey populations and am currently studying a veterinary surgery degree. I have based my whole life around improving and maintaining great animal welfare and care. I currently study four days a week in the day. The rest of the week I work from home where I enjoy a switching off with good dog walks and relaxing. I have a high fenced in garden that is great for my friendly dog to have long games of fetch and she enjoys exploring in.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life — my family have two beautiful Cavapoos, the loves of my life! One is a puppy and the other is five years old, so I've genuinely experienced both ends of the spectrum — the chaos and joy of puppyhood, and the lovely settled rhythm of a dog in their prime. That means I really get it when it comes to puppies — the energy, the need for reassurance, and the importance of keeping things consistent and calm. And with older dogs, I know how to keep them happy, comfortable, and well-exercised at their own pace. I love looking after multiple dogs at once — the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned! I also naturally weave basic training into my time with every dog, keeping good habits going while you're away. I genuinely love dogs and it shows — your pup will be in warm, caring hands with someone who truly gets it. I am currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available for daytime, evening, and weekend house-sitting, and I can adapt my routine to suit your pet’s needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, regular playtime, or simply having company throughout the day, I am able to provide reliable and attentive care while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. When house-sitting in a pet owner’s home, I prioritise maintaining a safe, calm, and familiar environment for your pet. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own surroundings, so I aim to keep their routine consistent, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care requirements. I am respectful of your home and will ensure it is kept clean, secure, and well looked after during my stay. I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you are away.

About: I have had many pets during my childhood, including dogs, chickens, ponies, and fish! I currently have a 1 year old dog in my family home and knowing how much I love looking after her and being involved in training, more than I was with our last as I was too young, I would love to do some pet sitting during the summer holidays to help me save up for my first year at uni. I have trained my puppy very well including things like waiting for a treat thats on the floor, shaking paw, sitting on command, and stay. Considering she is a staff and our last was too, I know how their energy can be! No matter if your dog is a cuddly couch puppy or bouncing off the walls I know we will have a good time! I'm working part time as a bartender and waitress, so popping in to see your pup or staying with them is both very doable! The way my shift patterns work, I will be able to spend around half of the day with your pet on weekends and most of the day on weekdays! I have years of experience caring for my own dog and understand that some younger pups may need to be crated or kept to certain areas of the house. I also am a big believer in keeping your dog entertained with puzzles and toys that are engaging! I have made many fun activities for my dog and I find it keeps them busy and gets their brains working.
About: Hi there, If you’re looking for reliable pet care, I’d love to help! 🐾 When you book through my Rover profile using the link below, you’ll receive £15 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/mariac89067 Just use the link to claim your discount and secure your dates. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Over the years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs of all kinds—not just the happy, healthy ones, but also those who need a little extra attention. I live with Evie, my beautiful Olde English Bulldog, who’s been by my side since she was a pup. She’s now 5 and full of personality. Evie’s had her own health ups and downs, so I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and responsive to a dog’s individual needs. She’s neutered, well-mannered, and used to being around other dogs. As a registered nurse and mum of two, I’m naturally attentive and nurturing, and I bring that same care into how I look after animals. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them—whether it’s a cuddle on the sofa or a walk through the woods. I’m home most of the time, and with plenty of lovely walking spots nearby, I make sure dogs get fresh air, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I treat every dog like family—with love, patience, and a calm, safe environment where they can feel right at home. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of free time to devote to your pup’s needs. My flexible routine allows for long walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I’m available for boarding both during weekdays and weekends, ensuring your dog has companionship and care while you’re away. Dogs truly fit into my everyday routine, as I'm used to building our day around Evie and her needs. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Whether it’s keeping them on their routine, providing medication if needed, or giving them cosy spots to rest, I always prioritise their well-being. Your pup will be cared for as if they were my own—getting plenty of love, play, and attention in a calm, safe environment.

“Beth was brilliant we would definitely recommend. She very generously offered a meet and greet and drove 30 minutes each way to meet our dog ahead of a 1 night sit. She was so attentive to our westie and was great with him. She gave plenty of updates which were much appreciated and we very much felt that out home and doggy were left in good hands. Thank you Beth 😊”


About: I'm a fifth-year veterinary student and have been caring for family pets for around 5 years now. Through both pet sitting and looking after my own animals, I've gained experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with specific routines. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently a student, so my availability varies throughout the week. I generally have weekends free and can often accommodate evening visits. I'm happy to discuss your needs and will do my best to adjust my schedule where possible to fit around your pet's routine I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. In an owner's home, I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and a safe environment while respecting any specific instructions provided. I understand that every pet is different and adapt my approach to suit their individual personality and needs. Regular updates and photos can also be provided for peace of mind.
“We honestly couldn’t be happier with how Laura cared for our four fur girls and our home. She loved them like her own, and it was clear how happy and settled they were. The house was immaculate, and Laura went above and beyond-especially when Coco decided she didn’t want her usual food. She went out and bought chicken, sausages, and other cold meats just to make sure Coco ate while we were away. Her daily updates and photos meant the world to us. Thank you, Laura-we are so incredibly grateful to you Xxxxx”


About: I’ve previously cared for friends dogs while they’ve been on holiday and made sure they have the full care and attention that they deserve I currently work around 24 hours a week and I typically finish work around 12 pm so I’m available a majority of the day I don’t offer services in my own home as I still live with parents but I’m able to pet sit in the owners home

My goal is to help all cats and dogs live happy and healthy lives. I work as a freelancer, so I can arrange my own schedule and do my best to take care of your pets! Pets always come first! My home is very clean, and the pets I care for are always kept clean as well. I have a fenced garden where dogs can run, and there is plenty of space inside the house. I can provide a loving home for your pets.

About: I am a second year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on-experience caring for a wide range of pets. Growing up with animals, I have trained my own dogs and regularly care for family, friends and neighbours dogs. Through my veterinary studies, I have developed knowledge of animal behaviour, handling, health and welfare allowing me to easily spot if any health issues arise in your pet. I have also completed placements at a dog and cat boarding kennel and an animal rescue centre giving me practical experience working with animals of different ages, temperaments and needs. I provide reliable and compassionate care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I have recently completed my second year of veterinary studies and am available for pet care from now until 28th September. My schedule is highly flexible including week days and weekends allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Please note that I have veterinary placement commitments during the weeks commencing 17th august and 24th august 2026. During these two weeks, I will be available on weekday evenings after 6pm and throughout the weekends. Outside of these dates, I am available throughout the day and can offer a high degree of flexibility to suit owners schedules. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise medication and any specific care requirements ensuring each pet receives attentive and individual care. I take the time to provide companionship, enrichment and exercise appropriate to the pets needs while monitoring their health and wellbeing. As a veterinary student, I am familiar with animal behaviour allowing me to recognise signs of stress, illness or discomfort and respond appropriately. I also treat owners houses with respect, keeping the area clean and tidy and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My aim is to ensure both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident throughout the pet sitting experience.
“Alice is wonderful. Communication is fab while we were away, pictures, updates, and videos. Constant reassurance from Alice. Went above & beyond, most highly recommended.”

“Kimberly was amazing with my dog Peanut. It was the first time doing something like this and using the app and Kim really helped put me at ease with her communication throughout the day with photos and updates. Peanut absolutely loved her and i’ve already booked in with Kim again for summer. highly recommend Kim to anyone in this area.”


About: After Losing My childhood Dog last year I’ve taken to looking after my family and friends pets to fill a void . i’ve completed a level 3 diploma in animal management at college and have a naturally caring nature when it comes to animals. At the moment i’m puppy sitting two puppies weekly including having to care and nurture them overnight. My shipoo (Ronnie) lived a comfortable and happy life until he was 14 years old . This has given me experience looking after a senior dog as he needed many hours of care and attention through his last few months of his life. As i have a big family who all share the same love for pets as me , it’s given me plenty of opportunities over my lifetime to get the confidence i have with dogs . As i currently work as a cook in a nursing home i have had a DBS check :) I do 33 hours in a week and i do them as 3 ,11 hours shifts . my rota cover 4 weeks so its best for me to work on short notice. I work part time and my rota covers 4 weeks so if you’re looking for a pet sitter for a spontaneous weekend away i’m perfect to book. i’m very adaptable and will adjust to any rules you have for your pets . i’m comfortable with the thought of your pet sleeping in the bed or crate. I’m only available for pet sitting at the owners home as i think it’s better and less stressful for your dog to keep in there routines.

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 Stafford 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 Stafford 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
