About: I have had dogs of my own since the age of 9 and cats all my life. I can administer oral medication, ear drops etc. I have experience training puppies and caring for kittens while also having experience of senior dogs and cats and all stages in-between! I am currently self employed so have free time in my mornings and afternoons to care for your cats and dogs daily needs. Please let me know what times your pet is usually fed and I will accommodate as best as I can whilst also providing all the love, play and cuddles that they would like! Your pet’s happiness is my priority whilst you’re away from home so please let me know of any daily habits/routines that your cat/s and dog/s must stick to (as we know cats in particular love to do!!). I’d love as much detail on your pet’s feeding routine, habits and ways to make them feel as comfortable as possible whilst you’re away.
“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 by my side for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals feels second nature to me. From daily walks and playtime to understanding the little quirks that make each pet unique, I know what it takes to keep a dog happy, active, and comfortable. Alongside my own experience raising dogs, I've spent years cat and dog sitting for friends and family, which means I'm just as comfortable with a laid-back cat who wants quiet company as I am with a high-energy pup who needs a good run. I treat every pet in my care like my own — with patience, attention, and genuine affection. Because I work remotely, pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed around a commute or office hours. I'm home most of the day, so dogs get regular walk and bathroom breaks between tasks, and cats get consistent company instead of being left alone for long hours. I build in short breaks throughout the day for feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I'm able to keep a close eye on any pet in my care without rushing. I care for dogs in my home through boarding, and for both cats and dogs through house sitting and drop-in visits in your home. Since I work remotely, I'm home for most of the day, so dogs in my care get regular walks, playtime, and a comfortable place to rest rather than being left alone for long stretches. My home also has a large, secure fenced garden, so dogs have plenty of safe space to run around and burn off energy off-lead. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I keep things calm and unrushed — feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats or a walk for dogs, and plenty of time for affection, with visits scheduled regularly throughout the day to keep your pet's routine consistent. Across every service, I follow your pet's existing routine as closely as possible, from feeding times to any medication needs, so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“Laura is amazing. My Dogs would normally be apprehensive with someone new coming to look after them, but they weren’t worried at all. In fact they would not leave her alone. I would thoroughly recommend her.”

“Olivia is amazing with our Labrador puppy Maverick, she drops in a couple of times a week with him and tires him out so he naps during the day. He absolutely loves her and you can tell she treats the dogs as her own. Constant updates and feedback on how he got on was sent too which was really appreciated. Highly recommend!”


“Maddie was fantastic with our rescue cat Rio! Rio doesn’t like many people but she warmed to Maddie instantly - updates and communication were great too we’d definitely book with Maddie again.”


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!
“Stefania is a brilliant pet sitter who clearly loves animals and goes the extra mile to ensure your pet is looked after and happy. Stefania looked after our cat for a week whilst we were on holiday, and provided daily updates and pictures. We would recommend to anyone and will definitely be using again! Thank you for everything Stefania ⭐️”

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.

“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.

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.

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.
