“Had Hannah this last week to feed my two cats whilst away. She let me know every day that she has visited and took pictures of the cats if they were about. Would recommend and use Hannah again in the future.”
“Kirsty was amazing from the get go! Quick response to my queries/ messages. She took the time to meet the boys before we went away and was so accommodating. We received detailed messages and photos from Kirsty on our boys whilst away and were kept up to date on how they were doing. The boys, one of which is really shy, came out of his shell throughout the visits. Can't thank Kirsty enough. Definitely recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch over their pets!”
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.
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.

“Mandy was brilliant with both our rescue cats who are wary of new people. Great communication throughout and we had lovely photos from each visit. It was wonderful to see the cats were in such safe hands whilst we were away. We came home to 2 very relaxed happy cats. I'd highly recommend.”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my experience caring for a variety of pets. As a proud owner of three cats, caring for animals is part of my everyday life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets. Alongside caring for my own cats, I have experience looking after dogs and lizards, giving me an understanding that different animals have different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves attention, an independent cat who prefers a quieter approach, or a reptile with specific care requirements, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care tailored to each pet. I pride myself on being patient, dependable, and treating every animal as if they were my own. I know that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be worrying, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is simple: to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away from home. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as I have three cats of my own. Their feeding schedules, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and general wellbeing checks are all built into my day, so caring for pets feels completely natural to me. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan visits around a pet’s individual needs, whether that’s feeding, companionship, play sessions, or simply checking in to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I understand the importance of consistency for pets, especially cats, and I always aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s something I already love doing every day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and reassurance while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I always follow the routine and instructions provided by their owner to help them feel safe, comfortable, and settled. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their individual personality, preferences, and needs. In a pet owner’s home, I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, companionship, and regular wellbeing checks. I also make sure their environment stays clean and secure while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with. For cats especially, I understand the importance of patience and allowing them to interact at their own pace. As a cat owner myself, I know how important communication is when you’re away from your pets. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My priority is always to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away, treating them with the same care and attention I give my own cats.
About: I have had family dogs ever since I was a baby, grown up with Staffordshire bull terriers. Have since had Labrador/collies now currently have a 5 year old lurcher. Love taking long walks with my dog, he loves other dogs and happily accepts them into our house. Please get in touch if you need help with your dog wether it's just a one off or on a regular basis I'll be happy to help and can't wait to meet them. I don't work anymore so I am very flexible for dog walks, home visits and boarding. Let me know what you need and I will try and accommodate. I have a full enclosed back garden and a fur baby to keep your dog company and to play zoomies with around the garden. I am around almost all day to feed, walk, play and look after them. Also have a dog flap fitted so they have the freedom to come and go into the garden as and when needed

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.
