“Thank you Jodie for dropping in on our dogs yesterday. We returned home to happy pets and your pictures and report helped us to relax in the knowledge that all was well while we were away. Priceless!”
“We’ve used Shelley twice now and both times she’s been amazing! Our cat is normally quite wary of new people but warmed to Shelley super quickly, and she always takes plenty of photos of him so we can stay up to date when we’re away. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“I couldn't recommend Alex enough! She instantly gain my trust, when she came to meet my puppy before the first booking. She went on a walk with us, asked questions to ensure she had all the information that she needed in order to care for him properly. On the day she sent me lovely photos and left a very thorough update. She even stayed longer that the booking stated, so my puppy could have a longer walk. Super trustworthy person and loving sitter, we'll definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much Alex for looking after my little puppy!”
About: I loved being a dog mum, & I really do know how important it is, to have someone you whole-heartedly trust…. I will ensure I am at home with no other work planned whilst boarding your dog. I have a whole lifespan of dog experience from puppy training, exercising and engaging adolescent energy to elderly care. I grew up with three dogs from a little Lasa Apso to an Old English Gent, with a Corgi Mix in-between. I have experience of fully training my own Cardigan Corgi in the past, the most loyal soul and truly the “goodest boy”. He had an exceptionally sweet character, a dog lover himself and somewhat of a celebrity in our area 🤎 He reached a great age and we had the best life together. He taught me so much, and is the reason I want to be around and care for dogs. WALKING and/or hiking: I am a qualified DofE walk leader for Hertfordshire, so I know the greatest adventures, terrain and many varied local routes. We can walk up to three times a day. With awareness and responsibility; I am a mindful and aware dog carer, especially in public places. Preemptive safety is always my priority. I build an engaging and thoughtful relationship with dogs, practicing communication and embedding routine. I talk to them and we learn together, getting to know each other. BOARDING: For me, owner communication is key, we will set up a meeting to gain an understanding of your dog and their daily routine, their specific requirements and ensure that they have as little disruption as possible whilst you are away. Your dog will be the main character, the whole story, it’s all about them! Most of all we will have fun. VISITS and playtime: A fully engaged and planned visit according to your needs; I will spend this time ensuring your dog knows they are a VIP and cared for. I use reaffirming language to create routine and build effective communication with your dog. I am able to make myself available for boarding 24/7; your dog will be with me and included in every part of my day. I have a good sized fully secure and 6ft fenced garden, I am able to safely transport them in my car with seat belts, a large hatchback area, and a soft cushioned bed in my vehicle. I will be caring for your dog only. For walks I will also only walk with one dog or two dogs maximum from the same family. I have a current valid DBS check.
“Nobody could've taken better care of Barney than Liam! He left everything in perfect order. He cared for Barney as if she was his own. I can highly recommend Liam to anyone wanting a cat sitter. I don't think you can find anyone better. I would only leave Barney with someone trustworthy who would take great care of her. ”
“Fiona is absolutely fantastic with my cocker spaniel puppy, Layla. I have been quite anxious about leaving her, but Fiona alleviated those anxieties, offering me advice and looking after Layla so well. She is clearly very experienced with dogs and did a lot of training with Layla and passed on tips to me on how to keep up with this training.”
About: Hello, my names Linda and I am huge animal lover! I have owned dogs for the last 16 years, and looked after them from puppies through to elderly, including rescue dogs and can provide care to senior dogs. I’ve recently lost 2 of my dogs which I’m heartbroken about and it’s the first time I haven’t had a pet in the house in 20 years. Before I decide to get another dog I have decided to look after other people’s pet which is the next best thing. My schedule is pretty flexible, I am currently working mostly remotely. Please drop me a message and I will be able to confirm my availability. I have a fenced garden and live near lots of lovely big parks where I can dog walk. I will be the perfect dog sitter as I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have.
“We had Abby helping us out checking on our cat while we were on holiday making sure he had everything he needed along the way. She was of great help and she was always available for anything for we asked. Thank you Abby, we would need of your assistance again :) x”
About: I have had dogs all my life, I have fed them, walked them, played with them and looked after them while my parents have been away, I would take good care of any type of dogs and I’m understanding of different types of behaviours I am currently working full time but work from home 3 days a week so I am mostly flexible. I am free every evening during the week and most weekends and would love to help out where I can. I have a fenced nice sized garden and a friendly golden retriever that can play all day long! I love spoiling her with treats and toys for her to play and eat!
About: My name is Lucia and together with my fiancée Lara, we offer dog walking, pet sitting and house sitting services. Since I was a child, I have always been around animals and my family owned anything from gerbils, rats, hamsters, to cats, dogs and even a horse. I have studied veterinary nursing for 4 years and worked at vet clinic, pet shop, doggy day care, and volunteered at animal shelter. I have experience with different breeds and sizes of dogs, all kinds of temperaments, and rescue dogs and cats, as over the years I have fostered many puppies, dogs and kittens. I really enjoy working with animals, as it’s something I have always wanted to do. If you entrust me to take care of your beloved pet, I will make sure they are having great time and treat them as my own. Currently this is my main job, and I am very flexible with my time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. I live in a flat next to a park, and woods close by, so there is plenty of dog walking routes near by. I have very friendly dog that can keep your dog company while in my care.
“Tilly provided great care while looking after my cat for few days, as a last-minute request. This was my 1st time booking Tilly but felt at ease leaving my cat, Poupette, in her hands. Her background as a veterinary nurse was especially reassuring, as Poupette had recently experienced some health issues. I would highly recommend Tilly for any pet care needs and I'm already in the process of rebooking her services.”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Stevenage
From the moment we started messaging on Rover, Jessica's kindness and expertise were clear to see. She sent through multiple photos of our cats (which is a feat in itself considering how nervous they are of strangers, and shows just how caring she was towards them), and even made friends with the neighbour's cat! Would 1000% recommend her services, especially considering she helped us out so last minute for our trip
Julia was friendly, professional, and organised. She did a great job looking after Polly, sending regular pictures and images of a clearly happy cat. Polly, my cat, was clearly happy and comfortable with her, so I would be happy to have Julia looking after her again.
We had Abby helping us out checking on our cat while we were on holiday making sure he had everything he needed along the way. She was of great help and she was always available for anything for we asked. Thank you Abby, we would need of your assistance again :) x
We couldn't be happier with the care Alison gave our cat Milo while we were away. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease — regular updates, photos, and messages showing Milo was happy and well looked after. He was clearly in safe, loving hands, and we came home to a relaxed, contented cat. Highly recommended — we'll absolutely be booking Alison again!
Billie was an amazing cat sitter! He took such good care with my two skitty but curious cats and sent me a lot of update photos and told me what they were up to which was so appreciated! Would not hesitate to use him again and recommend to my friends. Makes me feel happy to book more holidays knowing Billie can hopefully take care of them if needed! 100% great, 6/5 stars if I could :) thank you Billie!
Alex is incredible with our dog! We needed an afternoon visit when we went for a day out, and ended up needing a second visit on the same day as we got stuck in traffic, which she very kindly accepted to help with. Alex is patient and kind with our dog, and we really appreciate having someone like her to count on! Thank you, Alex!
Jasmine is fantastic! My cat is really nervous around a new people, and the fact that she has experience with animal behavior was a major plus for me. She’s so kind and attentive so I knew I was leaving Annie in good hands. She gave lots of updates and pictures so I felt at ease. Definitely book Jasmine, she’s great and I’ll definitely be using her services again!
Helen was very attentive from start to finish with care and updates throughout, she went above and beyond. It is clear she loves animals and that animals love her back! Our little cat warmed to Helen instantly. She went as far as sharing some of her Christmas turkey with our cat, which he loved. Thank you, can’t recommend enough!

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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
