“Exceptional care for Molly and service to us by Claire. From her original, attentive communications; the lovely, reassuring meet-and greet the day before; and the five hours she looked after Molly whilst we were at the theatre - every detail was perfect. We’re slightly nervy dog-owners! If we’re leaving Molly for any length of time, we have to feel very positive about who we entrust her to. We couldn’t be more positive about Claire’s work. Exceptional. She made our evening stress-free. Because of her, we - and Molly - look forward to our next Stratford visit.”
“Mikey's first sitting with our 12 month old puppy went brilliantly. Mikey was punctual, followed all instructions diligently and was very attentive to our dogs needs who is in her first season and somewhat needy and clingy. Mikey left our home spic and span too, you couldn't ask for a better service, even sharing pictures of Siena enjoying her walkies and post walk naps and cuddles!”
“I really can’t recommend Holly enough. She looked after my pup and my older dog whilst we were away on holiday. She took care of everything. And I don’t say that lightly. She had only previously met the girls briefly, but was a natural with them. Holly checked in with me daily, updating me with how the girls were getting on. She sent me photos of them on their walks, in the garden and snuggled up with her 🥰. This was so reassuring and I felt like I could relax and enjoy my holiday knowing they were in such good hands. She also took care of our home. She left the house immaculate and even double checked when bin day was, so we didn’t miss out. Holly was fantastic and we hope she’s be happy to help us again in the future 🙂 highly recommend. Thanks Holly.”
“Annie was fantastic looking after Charlie and Nancy. She stepped in at very short notice, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that put me completely at ease. She was calm, reliable, and clearly great with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily ask her again 😀”
“Amazing sitter! Jackson & Olive were so well looked after and clearly very happy the whole time. Great communication, followed all routines perfectly, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have previously worked as a dog walker for Fiona’s Diggity Day Care in South London, where I would walk up to 4 dogs at a time to a secure dog field. I have volunteered at the Dogs Trust, cleaning, walking and caring for dogs needs. I own a mini dachshund and live close to the green way and racecourse for frequent walks. I am a dog lover and would be happy to help. As I am a trainee teacher, I am available weekends and school holidays. I am available at weekends or school holidays for dog boarding. I am currently training to be a teacher and hold a DBS. I have experience looking after my own pet and volunteering with the dogs trust. I have one mini dachshund to keep your dog company and a small fenced garden. I am close to the green way and racecourse for walks.
“Stefania was great, would definitely recommend and book again in the future. She was reliable, kept me very updated with lots of pictures and left the house really clean and tidy!”
“Melissa stayed in our home for a week to look after our 13 year old cocker spaniel. He was well looked after and had lots of walks and cuddles. She sent us daily updates and photos, the house was lovely and clean when we got home too. Will be booking Melissa again.”
“Maddie looked after our ragdoll Kaspar for two weeks whilst we were away on holiday (staying at our house). Communication was great and regular pictures were sent whilst we were away. We came back to a happy cat and will book Maddie again”
“Ali was amazing with Hooch & Bruno and both boys loved her so much. She gave them so much care & attention and adhered to their routines and medication requirements. Ali went above & beyond any expectations and we can’t wait to have her looking after Bruno again xx”
“Stephen is a lovely genuine guy,friendly and helpful. Toby was really happy with Stephen and it made it alot easier to leave him at our Airbnb while we attended a family wedding. I would gladly recommend Stephen to another pet family.”
“My dog Maple can get a little nervous when meeting new people, but she warmed to Tsz Kiu straight away and they had a super time together! Tsz Kiu was very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure Maple was well looked after. I would definitely recommend her!”
“River took great care of my dog, Amber—I hope they both had a lovely day together. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates that really put my mind at ease. River was also very accommodating, happily staying longer than planned when my day unexpectedly ran over. Thank you!”
“I booked Jiahui for house sitting with Cookie, and she was absolutely brilliant. She came over for a meet & greet beforehand, which immediately made me feel at ease and confident leaving Cookie with her. While I was away, she kept me updated regularly with photos of Cookie looking happy and relaxed. She followed all the care instructions perfectly, including feeding times, walks, and everything else. When I came home, Cookie was clearly well cared for, and the house was spotless — which honestly says it all. Jiahui is clearly very experienced with dogs and extremely responsible. Communication was smooth throughout, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Cookie was in good hands. I would definitely book her again.”
“Would highly recommend Jane, she did a brilliant job looking after our house and dog , Bea for five weeks . We received regular updates and pictures which made it very clear Bea was enjoying lots of lovely walks and very happy spending time with Jane at home. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we got back and Bea looked amazing. We have already booked her for our next holiday.”

What can I say? Manon was the perfect carer for my two cavapoos! She spent a week housesitting and caring for my boys. I had regular updates of their walks and cuddle time, and they seemed extremely happy. Not only was Manon great with my dogs, but she is also a cat-whisperer, managing to get affection from my very grumpy cat too!! A model house-guest, my home was immaculate when I returned. I wholeheartedly recommend Manon and will definitely ask her to look after my animals again.

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 Stratford-on-Avon 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 Stratford-on-Avon 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.
