Very happy with how Harriet looked after our two elderly ragdolls. We came home to very happy cats who had clearly been well looked after. Particularly impressed that they had been given a good brush so were nice and fluffy. Totally recommend 🙂

Tom responded promptly to an urgent request. He attended to meet Shelby and I the next day to go over what was needed and for us all to enjoy the benefits of an introduction as we hadn't met before. Throughout the multi-day booking I was given regular updates. On return Shelby appeared fit, well and her usual self so I would not hesitate to recommend Tom or use him again.

Jen was excellent. She communicated clearly prior to our booking, and visited us promptly for the meet and greet. Her updates from the drop-ins were reassuring and accompanied by good photos of the cats. We will definitely be booking Jen again.

About: I’ve got about 8 years of experience taking care of both my own dogs and my family and friend’s dogs. I’ve handled everything from long and short walks to feeding, bathing, and plenty of playtime. I genuinely love to be around dogs and making sure they’re happy, comfortable and well cared for makes me happy!! I’m currently a university student studying with the Open University, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Alongside that, I work a part-time job where my hours are also very versatile, so I’m able to balance both really well and stay flexible making plenty of time for taking care of your pups! I always tailor my care to each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a pet owner’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and lots of attention and playtime. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, including walking routines, feeding preferences, or medication. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed, and I treat them like they’re my own.

About: i’ve volunteered to help a doggy daycare care where i helped walk, feed, wash dogs. in the past i have used my home to dog sit for people who needed their puppies trained and who didn’t want to leave their puppies on their own so they would come to me and i would train and keep the puppies entertained for the day i am currently in education, but my schedule is relaxed so i can do tuesdays 9-11am and 2-4pm, thursdays 9-11am and 2-4pm, fridays 2-4pm and anytime on sundays my dog is well loved and well cared for, unfortunately we don’t have a garden but we take him on long walks every 3 hours to make sure his needs are met. he has an array of toys to keep happy and i love playing catch and tug of war to keep him entertained. he eats 2 a day, morning and night, with treats throughout the day when warranted. he is bathed and groomed regularly so it does not affect his health and has his monthly anti worm and flea tablet.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own, who I’ve trained well and raised with patience and consistency. Through this, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behaviour and feel confident handling dogs of all types and personalities. I truly love all dogs and believe they should always be treated with kindness, respect and plenty of affection. I’ve also supported neighbours by checking in on their dogs and friends have trusted me to dog sit in their homes. During those times, I’ve made sure each dog is well fed, exercised, and given lots of affection and love - just as I would my own. I take pride in creating a safe, happy and comfortable environment so both dogs and the owners feel at ease. I work a 9 to 5 schedule, which means I’m available for dog care in the early mornings, evenings and weekends. I can provide morning walks or check-in before Work and I’m fully available in the evenings for feeding, walks, playtime and giving your dog lots of attention. Weekends are flexible, so I can offer longer stays, extended Care, or more dedicated time with your dog. I’m organised and committed to making sure each dog’s routine is followed closely so they feel comfortable and settled whilst you’re away. I provide Care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important it is to maintain dogs usual routine, so I make sure to follow their feeding schedule, walking routine and any specific care instructions closely. When caring for pets, I give them plenty of attention, playtime and affection as well as ensuring their wellfed, exercised and settled. I treat every dog as if they’re my own with kindness, patience, and care. I’ve been trusted by friends to dog sit in their homes and my neighbours to check in on their pets, so I’m respectful of both your Home and your pets needs. Please note that I don’t offer boarding at my own Home, but I’m happy to care for your dog in their familiar environment where they are happiest.

About: As a person who loves animals with years of experience caring for dogs, I'm committed to providing a safe and loving environment for your pet. I've always enjoyed looking after friends and family's pets and consider it a priviledge to do so. I work normal office hours but my weekends are completely free and very lonely as my partner works. I am able to accommodate pets overnight if needed or just drop by for a walk. I have a fenced back garden and no other pets. Our furniture is very simple and there are no dangers of anything falling. We have a mixture of carpet and wooden flooring. We can take extra steps should you require to ensure your pet's safety. I live near Dartmoor and I am able to drive if needed.

About: Growing up my family has always had dogs and these have all been of varying breeds and sizes. When I moved out of my family home my partner and I decided to get a golden retriever, Harley, so any dogs coming to stay will need to be comfortable around him. Harley is very welcoming to any guests and is used to spending time with small, medium and large dogs so will be good company for your pet. I have a flexible job that enables me to work from home. It is a very sedentary job so I like to go on walks and be outside in my breaks and free time. We live in kingsteignton with an enclosed garden and a gate that opens up onto a park so ideal for the dogs. (Both the garden and park are in the pictures). This means we have several walks on our doorstep but we also like to drive to some. We love going on long walks with Harley and we like to keep the routes varied so we never really do the same walk two days in a row. We have no children and Harley is our only pet.

About: I've grown up with a variety of pets my whole life and have always been an immense animal lover! Because of this, I am often relied on by friends and family to look after their fur-babies whilst they are away and also have lots of experience house-sitting. I'm at my happiest when I'm around dogs and animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I own my own home so I'm therefore very responsible and respectful of whoever's home I'm staying in. I will be sure to follow your instructions regarding pet care and certain things around the house. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday so I would be available to look after your pup(s) from late afternoon on Friday until Sunday evening (or early Monday morning). On some occasions if need be, it may be possible for me to work remotely from your home (if WiFi permits and dependant on your facilities but I would need plenty of notice for this). Over the weekend I will be on hand every couple of hours to give your fur-babies my undivided attention, walkies and play time! I would also be available to pop in for checks and short walks during weekday evenings as well. I have a handsome miniature dachshund who keeps me company while I work from home during the week. I have a fenced and secure garden and have a car seat cover that covers the entire back seat meaning we can go further afield for walks as where we live has lots to offer on our doorstep for a variety of walks and terrain. We tend to go on two walks a day and perhaps a longer, more adventurous one on the weekends.

About: My story 🐾 I’ve always loved animals! I grew up with rabbits and in 2022 I spent time in Italy caring for 3 dogs, 4 cats, and a rescue bunny while helping on a house renovation. Later that year, my partner and I opened a Rover profile and cared for lots of wonderful pets. After some travelling, we’ve now settled in Devon with our 1-year-old dog, Alby 🐾. My partner works full time, and I’m reopening the pet business alongside my part-time work. Animal Care 🐾 I am available for day or night pet sitting, walking, and drop ins, and we are considering boarding in the future too. I can care for your pup, cat or small animal. I am happy to arrange a free meet and greet before walks and sits. I’m very active and enjoy walking and exploring so will enjoy taking your pup for walks or keeping your cats healthy and active. However, if you need me to be purely at the house then that is fine too. As an owner you can tell me how you would like your pet to be looked after, and I will look after them as such. So, if you have a super strict schedule for them that’s fine or if you’re really laid back, that’s fine too! I may bring my dog Alby on some walks too. Please let me know if you would prefer him not to attend. He is such a loving boy and has been attending daycare whilst we have been working full time – so he is used to a variety of other breeds and temperaments. He will be a great pal for your dog! I have administered medication for pets before and with clear instructions would have no quarrels with taking on that extra responsibility. Prior to a sit, please let me know your vet details, backup contact, feeding & walking schedule, or if they require any medication. I know how important it is to feel your pets are safe, happy and well cared for when you’re away. 🐾Whether it’s a fun walk, a cosy overnight stay, or keeping their usual routine. I have cared for dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments and will tailor each booking as such. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout. Availability 🐾 I will be working part-time hours at my regular job so if my Rover profile is showing some unavailability please feel free to message me if you need care during these hours and I will see what I can arrange.

Leaving Piglet for me for the first time was a bit of a worry especially as we're on holiday. That worry was gone as soon as Mateo arrived at the lodge . Piglet instantly took to him . He asked all right questions and reassured me everything would be fine. He sent me photos of their walk and one with Piglet cuddled up with him , that was a really nice touch. I'll definitely be booking Mateo on my next visit. Coming solo on holiday with your dog can be a bit restricting especially as some restaurants, shops don't allow dogs . I was asked out for dinner and was going to decline . I'm so pleased I've found Mateo and I'll definitely be booking him again.

Aneta looked after our dogs for the first time at the weekend, they warmed to her instantly and she took time to understand what our dogs liked/disliked. We’ve rebooked Aneta for a week or so in September and we feel happy and comfortable knowing our dogs are in good hands.

Tom is an excellent cat sitter, he was able to accommodate our last minute booking for drop-in visits and took the time to build up some trust with our cat who is quite nervous of new people. We received detailed updates and felt very comfortable that everything was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you!

Extremely happy with Harriet looking after Roly and Atti. She kept me updated with messages and photos and ensured they were kept comfortable in the heat. When I returned home from my time away they were calm, well fed and happy. The sure sign of a good sitter. Would happily call upon Harriet again to look after my boys (if my long note of their requirements has not put her off 🤔🤣)

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.

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 Teignbridge 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 Teignbridge 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.
