“I had a last minute inconvenience with my Dog Zoé as I was out the country and the dog sitter I had book, let me down. Claire kindly accepted to bail me out and took great care of Zoé for the remainder of my trip. Thank you so much Claire, you’re a life saver. I would highly recommend.”
“Fantastic sitter! Annie did a great job taking care of my two cats for a couple of weeks. She kept to a regular routine with daily visits, giving them extra attention to the point where they were very comfortable around her, and she was able to send me daily pics. Thank you Annie!”
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!
“It was Holly’s first visit but she took the time to get to know the dogs. I have one who’s really not good with new people, but the fact she was able to take a pic of him sitting quietly in the garden speaks volumes. Delighted to have found someone reliable and fairly close by who I can call on when I can’t be there myself.”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
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.
“Ellie was very helpful in stepping in at short notice to look after our dogs. She was very professional and competent, and was good with communication. We’d have no hesitation in booking her again.”
“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 ??”
“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: Volunteered for a number of different dog charities before working in rescue and now working as a Dog Trainer. I have dog sat for friends and have thoroughly enjoyed doing so. I currently work Monday to Friday, 9-5. I am looking to do mainly at your home dog sitting on the weekends with some week evenings able to be covered. I will try to be as flexible as I can with each owner. When in an owner's home, I ensure the dog is comfortable and happy at all times and try to follow the routine you have with your pet already to minimise the stress on your dog. Your dog's wellbeing is my priority when dog sitting and dog walking.
About: I have grown up with two cats, looking after them and being close with them my whole life; alongside this I have spent time volunteering in a cattery, cleaning up after cats, caring for them, feeding them and creating a positive environment. I have also spent time looking after family and friends dogs, taking them on walks and building a loving, close relationship with them. I’m currently doing a gap year after finishing A-Levels before committing to a future role. I have a job which is flexible and time can be booked off with prior notice to take care of your pets! I love animals and am always happy to make time for our special furry friends. I like to get to know each pet individually to build a close bond with them and grow awareness of their individual needs and requirements, frequently checking if they need food, water or to be outside for a bit; also giving them cuddles if they are sleepy and allowing them to rest.
“Tom and Gabby came over to our place for a drop in visit to Frida while we were out. Tom sent us photos of their visit and Frida was obviously very happy to see them. Tom sent us an update while they were there. Frida was very well cared for by them.”

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. While caring for our own dog has given me and my mother (Sangeetha) valuable hands-on experience with energetic breeds, daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and creating a safe, happy environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. 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. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, interactive play, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, my mum and I will make sure they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and one-on-one attention while you're away. Your dog's happiness and wellbeing will always be our priority. We are a reliable, caring, and patient family, and we'll treat your pet as if they were one of our own. To give you complete peace of mind, we'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and in caring hands. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I can easily accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and plenty of companionship, while sticking to your pet's usual routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I provide a safe, caring, and welcoming environment for every pet. At my home, I have a securely fenced garden where dogs can play safely and enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time.

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.

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.
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.
