About: I grew up in a busy household with a Border Collie mix and a Jack Russell, so I’m no stranger to high energy and big personalities! Today, I’m a proud 'sausage mum' to two miniature (well, 'in betweenie' size) dachshunds. I offer dedicated drop-in visits and walks throughout Swale, tailored entirely to your routine. Living in Swale with a flexible work from home schedule means I am available throughout the day and evening to give your dog the attention they deserve - I also drive so distance is not a problem! Having pet sat for family for years, I understand that every dog is an individual. Whether your pup is a high energy explorer or a shy snuggler, I adapt my approach to their specific temperament. I prioritise safety above all else; For your peace of mind, all walks are conducted strictly on lead and are exclusive to your household, ensuring my full focus is always on your best friend. Because I and my partner work from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to be there for your dog exactly when they need me. Whether it’s a mid-morning stretch, a lunch break stroll, or an evening check-in, I can easily work around your routin - I am available throughout the day and into the evening across Swale and the surrounding areas as I have my own car. My priority is providing consistent, reliable care so you can go about your day knowing your pup isn’t waiting by the door alone. Safety is at the heart of every visit. Growing up with high-energy breeds like Border Collies and Jack Russells taught me the importance of vigilance and control. For your peace of mind, all walks are conducted strictly on-lead and are exclusive to your household; I don’t do 'pack walks,' so your dog has my undivided attention. Whether I'm visiting your home for a drop-in or exploring the local area, I adapt to your dog’s specific temperament and triggers. I treat every dog with the same care and caution I give my own two dachshunds, ensuring they return home happy, tired, and safe.
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee, an experienced and reliable pet sitter with over 17 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs. I specialise in house sitting and drop-in visits in your home, so your pets can stay relaxed in their familiar environment while you’re away. I do not offer boarding, and all care is provided in your home. As a long-time dog owner, I have strong experience with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentle handling, and attention they need. I’m also confident managing separation anxiety and ensuring pets feel safe and secure. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I always follow your routines closely — including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific care requirements. I understand many pets are more comfortable staying in their own home, and I aim to keep their routine as normal, calm, and stress-free as possible. I am available most days and can be flexible depending on your needs. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing calm, reliable, and attentive care at all times. Looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets 🐾 I’m also experienced in caring for small animals and reptiles, including geckos, snakes, and hamsters. I’m comfortable with feeding routines and handling live or specialist diets, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure proper care. 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
“Abi looked after our two cats for a week whilst we were away, making sure they were fed and happy. She sent daily updates and pictures which we really appreciated. Definitely recommend Abi to look after your fur babies!”
“Terry-Lynn was truly amazing , she was very accommodating and my dogs loved her . It was lovely to have updates twice a day and have some lovely photos of them . Would definitely book with her again , highly recommend.”
About: I believe dogs deserve more than just quick walks and feeding -they deserve real companionship, fun, and lots of love. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get plenty of quality time, long walks, and exciting little adventures. I love taking dogs out to parks, nature trails, and even beach trips whenever possible, so they can explore, sniff, and enjoy their day instead of sitting at home bored. I’m patient, affectionate, and genuinely enjoy bonding with each dog’s personality. I am interested in dog psychology and behaviour patterns, and love learning new things about dogs every day Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m present and available for most of the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, companionship, and regular walks without them being left alone for long periods. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. I also have a friendly, well-socialised Golden Retriever who loves the company of other dogs and helps visiting pups feel relaxed and at home. Each day includes proper morning and afternoon walks, playtime, and lots of quality time together. I love taking dogs to local parks, nature trails, and green spaces so they get both exercise and enrichment.
About: A work from home companion for your dog. I have had dogs for over 10 years now, with experience of different sizes and breeds! Alongside this, I have experience admitting medication. I have 2 loveable fluff balls, Henry (Labradoodle) and Winnie (Golden retriever). They love adventures of all kinds, whether this be exploring in the woods just over the road from the house, swimming in the sea or a charge about in a private field. Alongside the beautiful doggy’s I live with my partner Ant (who works in London) and young daughter. Ant occasionally joins us on walks but all dog care would be undertaken by myself. Your dog would be treated exactly the same, a home from home with cuddles on the sofa and a large garden for playtime. I work from home full time so your dog will have constant access to outdoor space. Weekends revolve around the dogs, trips to the park etc. The longest your dog would be left is 2 hours. Alternatively, if they are happy in places like town, we are also happy to take them with us when we go for coffee. I have a large fenced garden and 2 fur babies for your dog to play with. Alongside walks at the field, we regularly go to private fields for a run off leash. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night, also absolutely fine!
“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 am a first year vet student with experience working with different animals, as well as having two cats my self. I love working with both cats and dogs and will happily take on either! as i am off from uni over the summer, i have free time most of the week to visit pets, take them on walks or maintain daily enrichment whilst you are away. As I am not currently at university i am fully flexible to any preferred times. I am used to nervous animals and work well with them having adopted two rescue kittens, so am happy to work with shy pets as well as confident ones.
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: 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: 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: 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.

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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Swale pet parents with similar pet households.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
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:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
