About: I grew up with dogs, cats, tortoises and even stick insects at one point! I love looking after them but sadly where I live it isn't possible to have my own (and I'm not having stick insects again!). I enjoy walking, and love the regularity of one or two dog walks a day! **Please note** drop ins and walks only available in Faversham I currently am in a remote working role meaning I can travel around the UK as long as there is good WIFI for me to complete work. The work is generally flexible meaning I fit it around them rather than them around me! DROP IN SERVICE/DOG WALKER only available in Faversham I care for your pets and home as if they were my own, making sure that the house is clean and tidy on your return and your pet will be well loved. I am happy to do home visits before staying with your pet if required and easy for me to get to. Alot of my past clients love a daily update photo which I enjoy taking too ( if that's what you would like!)
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee, an experienced, reliable, and caring pet sitter with over 17 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs. As a long-time dog owner, I understand the patience, gentle handling, and extra attention that senior pets need. I also have experience supporting dogs with separation anxiety, helping them feel calm, safe, and secure while their owners are away. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also experienced in caring for small animals and reptiles, including guinea pigs, hamsters, geckos, and snakes. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, including live or specialist diets, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. My Services I provide drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can stay relaxed and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I do not offer boarding, house sitting, or dog walking. During each visit, I can provide: • 🐾 Feeding and fresh water • 🐾 Toilet breaks • 🐾 Playtime and companionship • 🐾 Cleaning litter trays, cages, or other pet areas • 🐾 Basic care following your pet’s normal routine • 🐾 Medication (if required and discussed in advance) I always follow your instructions carefully and respect both your pets and your home. Availability Drop-in Visits • Monday, Wednesday & Friday: Before 8:00 am or after 6:00 pm • Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday: Flexible throughout the day I’m happy to discuss specific visit times, and short-notice bookings may be possible, subject to availability. What You Can Expect You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages after each visit, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and genuine care. My goal is to keep their routine as normal, calm, and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! ❤️🐾 I am available most days and can be flexible to suit your schedule. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m happy to discuss specific times and arrangements based on your needs. Whether you need weekday, weekend, or short-notice care, I will do my best to accommodate. I provide all care in the pet owner’s home, so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, and any specific care needs. I respect your home and keep everything clean, safe, and tidy at all times. I am calm, patient, and attentive, especially with senior pets or those who may feel anxious while their owners are away. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are always my top priorities
About: I've had dozens of pets and had lovely beagle until 2019. I pride myself in being thoughtful, caring and thorough. I fully appreciate how stressful it can be to have your beloved pets looked after by someone else and I take pet owners trust very seriously. I've got an eye for detail and always respect pets' routines, pet parents' instructions and any vet indications. I'm affectionate and caring and pride myself in being reliable and trustworthy. I'm an NHS worker, so I like to care for others including pets and can work remotely to spend quality time with pets. I work remotely 90% of the time plus I don't work Fridays so I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets and their needs. I am happy to travel to London and beyond for house sitting. For home visits, I can accomodate up to a 15-20min drive from Faversham. I treat your home with the care and respect I show my own. I can adjust to pet owners needs and schedules. I pay attention to detail and safety while creating a relaxed environment for pets.
“Romina is a great dog sitter and someone I feel confident to sit for us in the future, she was happy to meet us for a meet and greet which really helped avoid our pups nerves getting the better of him! Would definitely recommend Romina :)”
About: I have a dog of our own he is a rescue so has needed a lot of time and patience of which myself and I have plenty of. He is great with other dogs so if needed I could look to board a dog however happy to do drop ins or daycare if needed please just check availability. I also grew up with dogs so am very aware of how to read there behaviour to notice if they are happy, anxious ect so your dog will always be well looked after. I work from home and am also free most weekends/evenings if needed but please do reach out to see if I’m available. I have experience with all size dogs and am comfortable walking dogs that may be a bit of a pain. Our dog has regular training classes and is used to train other dogs too In my own home our garden is fenced there are plenty of toys and enrichment activities available. They will have access to a soft seating and have small paddling pool in the garden during summer months
About: I've always had pets from a young age. I love thier company, especially dogs! I now own a cheeky cockapoo who I trained from a pup. I enjoy being outdoors, and making sure those fur babies get that love and attention they deserve. I'm currently working part time, so I can be flexible on some days. I enjoy a varied week, so what better way to do it! I like to gain as much information as possible about your fur baby, so I can really understand what they need and how to keep them safe.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my childhood. I did dog walking and sitting for six months then covid hit. I still dog sit for one family and have done for over 5 years. Im working partime so have time to fit in cat care. Also l have my weekends free aswell. I only work on a Monday & a Tueday. My cat Nova is a indoor cat. I have a catio in the garden which she goes in most days. she does like to sit in my lap and enjoys a stroke and a cuddle.
About: Every booking will get a digital drawing of their dog! 🐶 I’ve trained and looked after mainly dog for 12 years from Chihuahua X Pappilons, Cockerpoos, Jack Russell X Border Terrier and currently my Golden Retriever! Each of these dogs I’ve had from a puppy and have trained them and brought them up alongside college and full time work. I’ve also looked after dogs of an older age with issues such as blindness, arthritis and incontinence which I grew knowledgeable on through vet visits and personal research. I’m currently available full time to board, visit or walk your pets! Available from 7:30am until 19:30pm. I have a full driving license so am able to pick up and drop off when required. I have a fully fence off back garden with a patio area and lawn along side. I have my very own Golden Retriever who is extremely friendly and loves other dogs so will always keep your fur baby company! I’m located infront of a beautiful woodland area perfect for long walks and adventures!
About: I have qualification in animal management level 3, along with growing up on a farm. No animal is too much work 🐾 I look after houses as if they were my own including cleaning and loving your furry friends 🥰 I currently work from home 4 days a week but I can happily book annual leave to be able to help look after your furkids 🥰 When sitting in the owners home, I will treat the house and furkid as my own so the owner has peace of mind that everything is being done correctly and looked after properly
About: Since I was little, I have had an array of pets varying from stick insects, hamsters, cats and a budgie. My friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs whilst they have had to work or go out for the day. Having the opportunity to look after your extended family member for a couple of hours or even an over night stay, is something I’ve always loved doing and has come very natural to me. I’m currently working full time as a member of Cabin crew, so my days off vary every week. I have a lot of free time and can do mornings, afternoons and evenings. Caring for a family pet is more than feeding them and taking them for a walk. For me, I think that truly caring for them is spending time with them, entertaining them and making sure their emotional needs are met.

Ellie made sure Brioche was so well looked after while we were away. She kept us updated with lovely photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy and in such good hands. Ellie was caring, reliable and clearly treated Brioche like her own. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would definitely ask her to look after Brioche again! 🥰 Thanks Ellie! 🤗
Highly recommend you both kept us updated with photos and a run down which kept us reassured our little Elton was doing ok. Went up and beyond even watered the garden in the heat wave we had! Very professional! Will 100% book you again in the future thank you !

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Swale pet parents with similar pet households.

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 Swale 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. On Rover:

- 100% can help with daily exercise

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 use the 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.
