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.
“For a stress free break, engage Fiona to look after your pet! It was such a comfort to know he was in good hands, his needs, and meow requests taken care of. I can look forward to booking a holiday without worrying about my rescue cat being stressed, he was completely chilled on my return thanks to Fiona!”
“This was Molly's second stay with Claire ... and the fact that Molly was pulling on her lead to meet Claire says it all. She was really keen to be with Claire again. Molly had another great evening, and I can't recommend Claire highly enough for her care, attention and professionalism.”
“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 😀”
“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Took brilliant care of our dog Isla and our home. Will absolutely be booking again with Laura. 😀”
“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!”
“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”
About: As a Phd student living in a 2 bed flat, I have felt the absence of coming home to a pet. However, while studying/working, and living in a 2 bed flat (which is spacious with a lot of walking/park opportunities here in stratford-upon-avon), I acknowledge I am not in a position to have a pup of my own full time. Although my time can be limited during term times, I am available during the busier time periods of the school holidays- I have set times in my calendar, however on days of annual leave and quieter days in the clinic this can be changed (flexible) and a discussion can be had. With that being said, having moved out on my own, it has made me miss my boy at home - a Newfie Harvey (and my two heavenly good boys too). So, if there ever was an opportunity to spend time with other good boys and girls (dogs and cats) and ensure they are getting exercise and having fun trips out, I am the person for the job. I understand how busy life can be, and juggling your work life, social life and personal down time can be hard enough without adding the additional needs of a dog. Therefore, I would love to help someone ensure their floof is having fun while freeing up some of their time too. I’ve had dogs my whole life (3x newfoundlands - 2 of which I have sadly had to leave behind at the family home, an Old English Mastiff and a Rottweiler). I am very adapted to big dogs having grown up with them, but am good with dogs of all size. Although I’m not a dog trainer, I am a dog lover and would love to be a part of giving these good girls and boys a life of love, fun and excitement - seeing as their time on this earth is so sadly limited. Additionally, I have had plenty experiences with cats also, living with cats whenever visiting my dad and helping friends out and previous Rover users, while they go away. I have been part of Rover for over 3.5 ish years, however, had to take some time off due to other commitments, with that being said, I am available again and am keen to help others with the furry babies. Additionally, I ensure to get back to you as soon as possible. I work in the day mon-thurs, so I would be available anytime Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I am also available all weekday evenings from 5pm and can do drop ins during lunchtime on Mondays and Wednesdays, and any time between 7am-8:30am. I will not be able to take dogs into my flat but would consider cat sitting. I will ensure the perimeters of your build are secure both when entering and leaving and will ensure all locks are locked and all gates are shut and secure.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have two Golden Retrievers, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I understand the importance of sticking to each dog’s routine, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, grooming or simply giving them lots of attention and affection. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind and relax while you’re away. I’m currently in the midst of looking for a part-time job, so I am free all the time at the moment as I have just graduated. I am available everyday of the week and on weekends. Unfortunately I can’t look after your dogs at my house, as I still live with my parents. However, I am more than happy to stay at your house to look after your doggies when you are away, and obviously would be delighted to give your dog a walk or to let them out for wee. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and have had my dogs for 8 years now! I am a very caring person and would love to give your doggie all the attention and affection he/she is wanting. I will also create a safe and trusting environment at your home where your dog can feel safe and loved by me. Also, I’ve always said that dogs are better than humans, they deserve everything!
“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!”
“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”
“Katie took the best care of our three pets, two cats and a dog, each with very particular dietary requirements! We were really pleased with how it all went over the weekend and loved to receive the brilliant photos she sent us of them with a few little updates too! Big thank you to Katie, who we highly recommend and would be very happy to use her services again in the future!”
About: For the last couple of years I have taken care of a whippet regularly having her to stay for up to a fortnight and just loved it. As a child we had labradors and my sister worked in a rescue. We also love learning about dog behaviour and are avid watchers of dogs behaving badly and all things around dog psychology. As a psychotherapist this aspect interests me. Really happy to help people out by caring for their pets. I have a daughter so they would need to be ok with children but otherwise I am very adaptable. I work part time self employed so I am not out of the house for big stretches of time. The dog would come on both school runs and also an additional walk if necessary. I have a fenced garden and no dogs or cats myself. We are close to nature and have woods and a large football field nearby for exercising. I am happy to go to your house also.
About: I have been taking care of my own & other people's dogs for over a decade now. I can guarantee a fantastic service if you do decide to book with me!! I work during the day so always have time in the mornings for playing & walking. My work schedule is flexible so allows for drop in check ups for feeding & toilet breaks. I will do everything to make your pet feel as happy as can be. I will ensure toilet breaks and walks are completed as required. I will keep your pet company as much as wanted in your own home.
“Hannah was a total lifesaver - stepping in to help us at short notice when Betty went into heat the week before our daughter's graduation. She is super friendly,easy going and incredibly tidy. So grateful she could come to our house to keep Betty company. She had walks and cuddles - she didn't miss us at all. Thank you so much Hannah - 110% recommend to other pet owners!”
“Our dog Keano is always a bit of a handful, but Stephen had no trouble with him at all. Stephen was the perfect sitter and Keano had a great time with him. We also really appreciated Stephen being understanding when we got stuck in traffic on the way back. Overall amazing with dogs, especially reactive ones, and are really happy we found him to sit Keano.”
“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.”

For a stress free break, engage Fiona to look after your pet! It was such a comfort to know he was in good hands, his needs, and meow requests taken care of. I can look forward to booking a holiday without worrying about my rescue cat being stressed, he was completely chilled on my return thanks to Fiona!
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.
