“Marcela has been fab as always. She sends lovely photos and updates of my two cats and they’re rescues so can be quite nervous, and she handles them so well. Thank you!”
“This is the second year that Beatriz has looked after our dog. She was very flexible leading up to the booking as we needed to modify the arrangement which she was happy to do. Bruno was happy to be cared for by her and I received regular pupdates and photos. My daughter was home alone for the first time whilst I was away and between them they took good care of the animals. Thanks again Beatriz 🙏!”
“Clare was very friendly and helpful. She visited my cat Harley twice a day and kept me informed of how she was doing by messaging and photos. Everything was tidy on my return with all empty food cans washed and put in the bin. The litter tray was clean and dirty litter put in the bin provided. I would definitely recommend Clare and use her again in the future.”
“Chelsea was great. Really good communication throughout her visits with lots of pictures/videos. Our cat was fed/looked after as asked. Would definitely recommend and would use Chelsea again. Thank you!”
About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since childhood, my family and I have cared for and helped many stray and rescued cats and dogs, so I have plenty of hands-on experience being around animals with different personalities and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some are energetic and playful, while others need more patience and time to feel comfortable with someone new. I’m attentive, active and caring, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions carefully. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits and care in your pet’s own home. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime, feeding or simply company and attention, I’ll make sure they are treated with care and kindness. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. 🐾 I work full-time on a varied shift schedule, but I plan my availability in advance and keep my Rover calendar up to date. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits around my work schedule, including selected mornings, evenings and days off. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find times that work well for both of us. Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine will always be my priority. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, house rules and any individual needs or behaviours I should be aware of. When visiting your home, I will treat both your pet and your space with care and respect, making sure doors, gates and leads are always secure. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during or after every visit, so you know how your pet is doing. 🐾
“We had Danieli as cat sitter for our cat whilst we were away on holiday. She was very helpful from start to finish, having initial meeting, visiting to check and feed/water our little cat and clean the litter. She was absolutely amazing. She event fed our fish. I would recommend Danieli to anyone who is looking for reliable friendly pet sitter. Thank you for your support.”
“I felt like my cat was very much cared for with Zascha. She gave me updates and photos and I was reassured he was being very well looked after. Highly recommended and very much appreciated.”
“From my initial enquiry Alex has been prompt, reliable and the perfect energy for my two mini dachshunds who need a calm but confident sitter. Il definitely be booking Alex again, thank you🌟”

“Beth was brilliant, she popped in a few times while we were out for the day and sent regular pictures and updates after each visit. Morgan looked like she had enjoyed Beth's company. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Lidiya was exceptionally polite, friendly and showed signs of dog-handling expertise within minutes of meeting Theo. Absolutely life-saving service so I didn't have to leave my boy alone. Would recommend.”
“Lindsay has been an absolute gem to find in caring for our elderly cat.Our cat has throughly enjoyed having Lindsay caring for her and as the usual takes a while to warm up to new people in general. However, my cat warmed very quickly to Lindsay even making us look like complete frauds with how quick 😆. Lindsay, from the start was professional minded wanting to come a meet and greet our cat and us the owners. Asking general habits and routine and this was great as it was good to know who was looking after her whilst we traveled. With us being away for 10 days, we needed someone who would understand our old lady cat and felt that when talking with Lindsay around her own experiences she was a great match. During the time we were away, Lindsay kept in great contact and communicated well around our cats time with her and each time was lovely to see and know she was well cared for. Thank you Lindsay, we will certainly be having your care in the future for Puss Puss she absolute loved you caring for her 😊”

She is reliable, trustworthy and very good communicator who has been giving me very informative updates with pictures to make me feel relaxed knowing she’s in good hands whilst I have been away. Would 100% recommend her , I know she will be my go to sitter in future! ❤️❤️”
About: I've had dogs in my family ever since I was a kid, so I like to think of pets as another member of the family. I'm here for whatever needs your pet may have like walking, playing, or simply just companionship. I'm currently unemployed, so I'm mostly available during the weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. My schedule is very flexible and I'm able to adjust to different time frames. I have a fenced yard and ample indoor space for pets to hang out in. I can also offer bathing if required by the owner, and feed as many times as needed throughout the day.
About: I have looked after animals for years and I also have a Level 3 Animal Care Qualification. Im a pet lover with four fur babies of my own, I can offer personalised dog/cat sitting and walking services, specialising in tailoring walks to match your pet's needs and preferences. Ensuring a unique and attentive experience for your fur babies. Im also fully insured to look after your pets! I work full-time but WFH, with weekends off so I am quite flexible. Full-time work doesnt affect my ability to care for them on a weekday. On a weekday I have a schedule that I follow which is a 6-7 am walk for an hour and another hour walk after work in the afternoon between 5-7 pm. I am unable to look after pets at my place therefore looking after them at owners home is preferable. I will make sure to give lots of playtime, cuddles and attention when needed but also if pet needs space then thats also okay with me 💓

Second time Yasmin has looked after our cat Luna. Cannot fault her, came home to a super chilled cat each time (a rarity in our house!), Yasmin was brilliant with her - ands with us too, sending us photos and updates. Definitely highly recommend. Thank you Yasmin, such a superstar with felines and humans alike!
Considering this was a VERY last minute request, Rebekah could not have been more accommodating or kinder! She is simply lovely to communicate with and her love of all animals is absolutely obvious. I highly recommend Rebekah and I shall definitely use her again.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
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 Swindon 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 Swindon 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 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.
