Aimee is brilliant, reliable and helped us out last minute! She’s invaluable giving us peace of mind that our Cocker spaniel is fed, happy and had some company on days where work overruns past her dinner time! Will be continuing to book her, thank you Aimee!

About: I have hands-on experience with dogs: in 2021, I assisted a local dog trainer, which gave me insight into training techniques, behavior, and proper care. I’ve personally cared for dogs of my own—my first dog, who had a liver condition, lived with me until the age of 8. Currently, I have a lively 2-year-old dog, so I understand the daily needs, energy levels, and attention dogs require. I am working remotely, and only part time, so I can bring all my free time to the dogs. Also, it is good experience to switch the attention to the dogs and be active, because sitting is not good for health At my home: Your dog will have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and interaction. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, and make sure each dog feels happy and secure. Also, there are no objects that your dog can eat or that can cause some problems At the owner’s home: I follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I ensure your home stays tidy and your dog feels calm and comfortable while you’re away. Walks & outdoor time: I provide walks suited to your dog’s energy level, using safe routes, and always monitor their behavior, ensuring they get enough exercise and mental stimulation.

Punsara was absolutely wonderful with my cat. She came every day as agreed and was very reliable. She spent quality time playing, giving lots of cuddles, and making sure everything felt calm and comfortable. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing my cat was well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily book her again.

About: Have always had dogs in my life and now retired I get to enjoy them even more. I started out as a carer for shared lives , a croydon initiative and incorporated dog walking and sitting. As such i have enhanced DBS check and I feel i give a relaxed dog walker and home sitter experience. I have my own dog Ziggy who is a six year old golden cavapoo and can be found alot around Riddlesdown , Selsdon Common and various other parks. I prefer 1 to 1 dog walking to give your pet the best attention Currently I own a very active Cockerspaniel called Ziggy who requires morning and afternoon walks. I am recently retired so I have alot more time these days. I am now taking new dogs on an ad hoc basis and specialise in one to one care. I leave the weekend free for family but if weekend care is needed then tjat is something that is possible. I dont take pets in at home but prefer to house sit. I have an enhanced DBS check as recently I am also a secondary carer for other carers who require holiday cover. At a dog owners house I would feed and walk the dog as per the owners wishes and check on them every four hours maximum.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands on experience caring for pets of all ages and my genuine love for animals. I have looked after both young and senior dogs, so I'm comfortable adapting to different needs, whether that's keeping an energetic puppy entertained or providing gentle, patient care for an older dog. As a pet owner myself, with two cats and one dog, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets as if they were their own. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I always take the time to get to know each pet's routine and personality so they receive the best possible care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine as I have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week. This allows me to accommodate your pet's usual routine, whether they need early morning visits, midday check-ins, evening care, or overnight stays. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I'm happy to work around what suits you and your pet best. I can also provide care in your own home, helping your pets stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment while you're away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that gives you complete peace of mind. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed. I have a secure garden for dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time, and I also have a friendly, well-socialised dog who gets along well with other dogs. I always make sure introductions are done carefully and that every pet feels safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I understand the importance of keeping their routine as normal as possible. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's usual schedule, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication, and any specific instructions you have. I believe every pet is unique, so I'll provide personalised care based on what works best for you and your pet, ensuring they feel happy, secure, and well looked after while you're away.

About: I grew up looking after puppies and mothers who were strays in Pamir. When I came to the Uk at 8. I couldn’t get a dog for a while. Until 5 years ago. I got Caesar, a German shepherd named after our childhood pet back home who was also a GSD. Now Caesar has a friend Luna who also lives on site. They are highly trained and able to walk without a leash, on command as well as being trained to open doors and performing circuits and tricks. My background is psychology and I have the perfect garden and insulated shed with heating. The size of the kennels is large and the shed is insulated with windows. I have a live camera system and can also monitor the dogs health overnight. For puppies, sick or special needs dogs we can also make arrangements and I would not charge extra for this as a good will gesture to humanity. I will check on the dogs every 15 minutes on the application and they get let out every 2 hours for 15 minutes and 3 a day for 30 minutes and mixed with others for mental stimulation. This is where a psychologist with behavioural understanding can help. While your dog stay with us you don’t have to worry about collecting your dog with worse behaviours but may in fact see a more confident and calm dog. I’m an active individual playing sports and volunteering. My dog goes everywhere with me. I am available 7 days a week and do not have any extra curricular commitments meaning a dog under my care comes with assurance and trust that your pet will be looked after with empathy and consistency. I have a fenced garden with 2 meter high fences, with a patio, up to 40 meters by 9 meters with some areas being designated for toilet area and play area for Hygiene management. Litter is picked up and not left out. Outside the house, 1 minute away is a giant private field not next to a road but in between residential properties. This is 100 meters by 60 meters and another area for the dogs to play. 3 minutes walk is a giant 1 acre field with more behind it. It’s great open space suitable for large dogs or high energy breeds. The garden is a standard garden, no animals or bugs, with slugs and other critters being removed through careful landscaping techniques to prevent dangerous situations such as a dog eating a deadly snail/slug. Or for dogs with bee allergies, there aren’t many flowers but bees are present just not that many.

About: Hi I'm Chloe and I am Top of the Pups Pet Services! I have been an animal lover all my life, having had a variety of pets of my own over 29 years - my dog Harley for 10 of those years - and caring for pets of friends' and family when they have been away/on holiday. Sadly since Harley passed we have not been able to have another dog of our own, but I am still a crazy dog lady at heart, and hence why I would love to look after your fluffy bundles of joy! While I was furloughed I had a lot more time on my hands than usual and for me spending it looking after animal pals was time well spent! I am now fully licensed and doing pet care services full time, so I need at minimum 4-6 weeks notice, ideally more for boarding bookings, but will try to squeeze you in if I can. I appreciate other sections of the profile may indicate shorter notice periods but that is down to the limitations of how Rover formats the app. The earlier the request the better, so I can arrange meet and greets and go over your pet's info that I will require under my licensing in advance of confirming a booking. Please ignore the calendar on here for my availability as I don't tend to use it as my bookings/routine can vary. As my household is all adults (I live my mother and sister) there's no worry about being overwhelmed with too many characters to keep an eye on or potential accidents with children, and as we all have experience with animals, if anything were to happen, or I needed an extra pair of hands, I have their support available to help me. (At times when they are not free to help me I have 2 emergency contacts who are also experienced with animal care.) I am afraid I cannot take on cats in our home as my sister is allergic. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your lovely doggos! xx Currently I have regulars that I walk in and around my local area Monday-Saturday, as well a daycare dogs in my home. Where possible I accommodate daycare and boarding bookings once meet and greets have been done to confirm its a good fit for everyone. I am DBS checked, have completed a canine body language, behaviour and welfare qualification, am first aid trained and have done many different dog focused workshops and courses. As I only take on a maximum of 4 dogs/pets at a time, this means your fur baby(s) will have all my attention for playing in the fenced garden, going for walks around the local village, and having lots of cuddles and fuss! Any size dog should not be a problem for me, assuming they are at their point in training where they are not excessively boisterous or pull hard on their lead, but we can always see how we get on during a meet and greet! I predominantly have pets come to my address for daycare and boarding - I have a fenced in garden and all dog related necessities such as beds, crates, toys, first aid kits, balls etc..( I also have rabbit and Guinea Pig necessities from many years of having them as pets). For walking services I normally come to your address depending on what is agreed in advance of the booking.

About: We are parents of a mini sausage dog and she is the centre of our home! We love to play, go on walks and have cuddles. We got Stella as a puppy so are confident looking after other puppies and understand their needs, as well as adult dogs. We both have had pets throughout our lives growing up and love to be around animals. We would love to help you out in caring for your fur babies in our home! I work from home on and off during the week and so will update the week accordingly. My partner is a teacher and so has school holidays completely free. Weekends are generally free and as are evenings. We live in a house with a good size garden. There are also ramps in the garden for dogs who can’t use steps. The garden has both concrete and grass.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15+ years. Neighbours, friends and family have all relied on me to look after their pets and I’ve recently looked after lots of dogs in the area on BorrowMyDoggy and through Rover. I work from home a few days a week so can be flexible with dog and cat sitting. I’m also available weekends and evenings for walks or for longer stays if you’re going away. I’m skilled in looking after dogs and cats with all temperaments- I can provide personalised care and attention to each furry friend. Living in Wimbledon means I have lots of access to beautiful green spaces and commons and as I’m an active person, your pet will be well looked after with plenty of time outdoors, if appropriate. My partner and I also like to drive out of London for the day to Surrey, Sussex and surrounding areas, so if this works for you and your pet, they can have their own little holiday with us!

About: I'm a natural animal lover and have my own 13 year old cockapoo, as well as a number of pets in the past. I've had a mix of experience from dog walking/ cat sitting/ care for private families, working in animal care on a farm and looking after friends/ families pets. I have done volunteer work at an animal rehabilitation centre while I was travelling a few years ago. I genuinely treat any animal I look after as if it were my own and understand how hard it can be to find someone reliable, good natured and trustworthy. I'm someone who wants to give them the attention and love they need, plus anything else they require. I've worked previously as a housekeeper, so know how to maintain a home while staying or popping in and out. I work remotely as a freelancer from my laptop so have so much flexibility! I currently work as a freelancer in social media and marketing, mainly remotely with the odd content shoot. This gives me a lot of time and freedom to take my laptop anywhere to work and stay! No weeks look the same for me, but I can have availability morning, afternoon or evening and I'm open to weekends too for the right stay. I can fit around different schedules, so please always ask. I take caring for someone's pet and home very seriously, as I understand how daunting it can be trusting someone reliable. I'm happy to answer any questions beforehand, jump on a call or meet and will ask how you like specific things done, safety precautions and any extra information needed. Throughout the stay I regularly update you and check every house/ pets general care before I leave.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years since everyone in my family has a pet. So I’ve learnt to adapt to different kind of breads when it comes to dogs. And for cats I would consider myself more of a cat person although I have two dogs. I can feed your pets, take them on walks and do home visits and etc. I’m not working right now and don’t plan too. So I am available for the whole week including weekends and holidays. I’d be able to do drop ins or pet sitting in the morning and after noon and I’m available bring your pets too my house. I have a back garden that has very tall fences and grass that is regularly cut so it can stay very short. I also have two small dogs. One is friendly when it comes to meeting new dogs and the other one is very shy but neither are agressive dogs.

I couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Chris. He was attentive and kind and took great care to find out exactly what Suki's likes and dislikes were (notably she is a highly strung pomeranian who can be anxious around larger dogs). I would highly recommend Chris and would not hesitate to use his sitting/walking services again.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

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.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Tandridge 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 Tandridge 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!

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.
