“Annie was absolutely lovely with my cat. Very attentive and caring, and she got many lovely photos from the days she visited. I'd highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her services again in the future 😁”

About: I have grown up with pets and we had our own lovely little housecat Saffy for fourteen years, and now have had our gorgeous cockapoo Pip for six years. I also have a ten year old daughter and a four year old son. Our house is perfect for a dog looking for lots of cuddles and attention - we have lots of space and a large secure garden. We are also lucky enough to have a fabulous private walk on our doorstep. I am here 24/7 to look after everyone. This also means that I can keep to your dog’s preferred schedule (if there is one!). I have a large secure garden to run around in and love going for walks on the farm next door. Our dog Pip is a lovely, excitable Cockapoo who loves to play and run around but is equally as happy cuddling on the sofa while we watch a film. He has been neutered.
“Laura and Jake were great. Happy to drop in and meet the cats before our booking. They were friendly and spent some time to get to know the cats (bribing them with treats always helps!). The visits were all smooth. They were on time, sent lots of photos and took extra steps to keep our kitchen allergy safe when feeding the cats. We came home to two very happy cats. Would definitely rebook next time we're away. Thanks guys!”


About: Dog lover from a very young age in a dog mad family! We've bred labradors for many years which has been a real passion, and given lots of experience with dogs of all ages. Experienced in training dogs and having worked in an animal hospital, I'm experienced in first aid/medication. As an animal lover, my Labrador (Loki) and I love spending our time outside walking, playing and going for walks/rides with my horse. Loki is a lovely gentle Labrador who loves making friends but also knows when to give his new friends space. I live on a private farm which is set off any main roads and I have a private gated garden which is secure and has lovely views over the fields. A doggy swimming pool is available in the hot summer months, as well as an indoor heated shower room ready for winter showers to get those mucky paws clean! I work from home full time and am able to be around to fit in with your dogs normal routines to ensure they have as smooth a 'doggy holiday' as possible. I have a fenced garden and a gentle Labrador to keep your dog/s company. I have a doggy swimming pool for the hotter months and a warm indoor shower for any showers which may be needed for mucky paws. A doggy toy box is available to be used and dogs are treated as my own.
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!
“Ok so we have tried this for the 1st tine so we can have a weekend away. I was so apprehensive and concerned as Dave is a very boisterous boy but Wow ? Dave never relaxes around people but with Stef he was so different. He took to Steph straight away which in itself is rare and he was playing with her and generally being the happy dog he is. ? it has been amazing to watch and now I have no concerns with Steph staying overnight with Dave when we go away ??”

“I went away for more than three weeks, leaving my four cats, for longer than I had ever left them before. Olivia, was excellent sending daily reports and photos and videos. Even when one of my cat's, Claudious became ill and had to go twice to the vets, Olivia, took him to the vets and cared for him and gave him his medication. So, at a distance I could watch his recovery, and feel reassured he was in good hands. I can't thank Olivia enough, for her excellent care and loving affection she has given to my four cats. Whom, I am sure will miss her!”


“Brittany was wonderful at looking after our three male cats. During every visit we received updates and photos of each individual cat, along with group photos and proof of them eating. I felt assured that the boys were in good hands during our holiday and we’ve found our new local cat sitter :) would defo recommend and use again. Thanks Brittany”


About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and nurture their pets with love and dedication. My experience even includes assisting with the delivery of a litter of puppies, which further strengthened my commitment to providing exceptional care. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment for every pet I look after, ensuring they feel at home and cared for in my presence. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are happy, healthy, and well-loved. I have plenty of time to walk your dog in my schedule and I live close to parks and walks that your dog will love. I have a secure property so you don’t need to worry your dog will be safe and well cared for during its time in my care.
“Ellie was great with Barney. She looked after Barney as we were out at a wedding. She updated us as the day progressed. She is very natural with dogs and we were happy that Ellie was taking care of Barney so we didn’t have to worry about him.”


About: Hi, I’m Alice! 👋🐾 I’ve always been the person my family and friends call when they need someone they can completely trust to care for their pets and home while they’re away. After years of looking after dogs, cats and homes for the people closest to me, I decided it was time to turn something I genuinely love into a professional service. As a dog owner myself (my energetic Springer Spaniel, Ernie, certainly keeps me on my toes!), I understand that every pet is unique. Some dogs thrive on long countryside adventures, while others are happiest with a gentle stroll and plenty of sniffing. I always tailor walks and care to suit your pet’s age, breed, energy levels and routine. Ernie happily walks for up to an hour, so I’m more than comfortable with active dogs, but I’m just as happy taking things at a slower pace for puppies, seniors or more relaxed companions. Outside of pet sitting, I work in creative production where organisation, communication and attention to detail are part of my everyday life. I’m also a volunteer with the British Red Cross Emergency Response Team, so remaining calm, dependable and prepared comes naturally. Whether I’m caring for your pets or your home, you can be confident everything will be looked after with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own. What you can expect Every visit is centred around keeping your pet happy, comfortable and sticking to the routine they’re familiar with. Depending on your booking, this could include: 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s individual needs 🐾 Feeding, fresh water and administering medication if required (provided I’m given clear instructions) 🐾 Playtime, enrichment and plenty of fuss (if they enjoy it!) 🐾 Cleaning up after pets and keeping their living areas tidy 🐾 Lots of cuddles, companionship and reassurance while you’re away 🐾 Regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy If I’m staying in your home, I’ll also happily bring in post, water plants, put bins out, and leave everything clean, tidy and secure. Caring for different personalities Not every pet is instantly confident—and that’s absolutely okay. I take the time to let nervous or shy pets get to know me at their own pace and always use positive, patient handling. For energetic dogs, I’m happy to provide plenty of exercise, play and mental stimulation to keep them occupied. My priority is making sure every animal feels safe, respected and cared for as an individual. My aim is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, keep your home safe and well looked after, and ensure you return to happy pets and a home exactly as you left it. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! 🩷🐶 I work full-time but have a flexible hybrid schedule and work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, so I can offer plenty of company, walks, toilet breaks and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for evening visits, overnight stays and weekends. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine! I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding and making sure my own dog gets plenty of attention and stimulation. I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s hands, so I’ll always treat both with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks, sleeping arrangements and any specific instructions you leave. I’m careful with doors, gates and leads, and I’ll always make sure pets are safe and settled before leaving. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and will keep everything clean, tidy and secure. Most importantly, I’ll send regular photos and updates so you can relax while you’re away knowing everything is in safe hands.

About: Hi! My name is Krithu, As a family, we understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can genuinely trust. We have a fun-loving 3-year-old Labrador who is a treasured member of our family, so we know just how much love, care, and attention dogs need every day.

We know that every dog has their own personality and routine, which is why we take the time to get to know each pet and tailor our care to their individual needs.

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.
