“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 😁”
“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.”
“Claire is a perfect cat sitter who I would definitely recommend. She genuinely cares, is professional and keeps you updated with plenty of info and photos, providing you with he reassurance that your loved ones are being well looked after. Thank you Claire.”
About: I absolutely love all animals, I have been caring for my neighbours and families dogs and cats while they were at work or away on holiday, since I was around 12 years old, walking them with my dad when I was younger and feeding, walking and playing with each animal as if they were my own. I'm very reliable and attentive with work and life in general, and very passionate about ensuring that your pets will be safe, loved and happy while in my care. DBS checked I'm currently working part-time and go to university one day a week, which allows me to provide flexible and reliable pet care to look after your furry friends. I'm happy to discuss options and specific scheduling needs to find a suitable arrangement. that works for you! :) I will provide a safe and caring, loveable environment for your pets when they are in my care. I have a fenced in garden for security when they go outside. Furthermore, I will supervise while within my care. And will follow owners instructions on what they would require while their pet is in my care. Such as giving usual routine, attentiveness, exercise and play!
“Olivia is absolutely wonderful. Her love for animals is quite obvious, as is her respect for her clients. She made sure she asked about everything at our meet prior to sitting. Then when she watched our two cats for a few days, I received photos, updates about everything (any messes, demeanor of my babies that visit, etc) and she used Rover Card promptly after each visit. Truthfully I did not even know what Rover Card was because previous sitters had not used it! I highly recommend Olivia (but hate to admit that in fear that she will get booked up!). We will be requesting her services again next time. Thanks Olivia :)”
“Saskia arrived on schedule and provided photos of my dogs in the garden and getting treats. Great to have someone who can visit and check on them when I can’t be there, especially to make sure they’ve enough water in the current heatwave.”
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.

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.
“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!

“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 ??”
About: I have grown up with dogs since 1 years old. I have had boxers my whole life, and I currently have a 7 year old boxer called Lola ❤️ so I am more comfortable and experienced with larger breeds! We love our walks with lots of things for her to sniff and mark as her territory! 😃 I currently work full time Mon-Fri 9-5 so can fit in walks either before or after my shift. I work from home 3 days a week so I can also pop in on my lunch breaks. I live at home with my family, my dog, and my cat. Taking care of them is a daily ritual of mine including feeding, playing, and walking. My dog is reactive toward other dogs so I would not introduce mine to yours for safety and I keep her on a short lead unless I can let her off.

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.

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.
