About: Hi, I’m Kirsty. Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by pets, and for the last several years, I’ve been the go-to caretaker for my own dogs, as well as the beloved pets of my friends and family. I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Because of this, I treat every dog in my care exactly how I want my own to be treated: with endless patience, love, and a close eye on their safety and happiness. Whether your pup needs a high-energy walk, a calm companion to cuddle with, or someone who strictly follows their feeding and medication routines, I’ve got you covered. I work from my office just two days a week, but I am always happy to discuss how we can best accommodate your dog’s routine on those days. While I am out, I am able to pop back home to check on the dogs, let them out, or a full walk ( at additional cost) normally after 3 hours so your pets not left alone to long. I pride myself on providing a true home-away-from-home experience. Dogs boarding with me have unrestricted access to the living spaces to lounge and relax just like they do at home. My secure garden is fully enclosed and escape-proof, giving you absolute peace of mind while your dog enjoys fresh air and playtime."
“Sheila has been an absolute godsend. She regularly popped in to check on my two elderly dogs when I had to be away longer than I would have liked, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and giving them plenty of play, cuddles, and reassurance. She kept me fully updated with messages and photos, which put my mind completely at ease knowing they were safe, happy, and so well cared for. I’ve been truly impressed with the level of kindness, reliability, and genuine care she showed — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
“Kelly is absolutely fantastic. So friendly, informative and reassuring. She provided us with lots of photos and updates. Lots of communication before, during and after her visit and made us feel totally at ease. We will be re-booking with her weekly. Couldn’t recommend Kelly enough!”
About: I have been a dog owner for 14 years. I used to be mom to a boxer and a lab/collie mix, but sadly lost them both recently due to illness and age. (They were both 12/13 years old). I was also mom to a blind Lhasa Apso, who considering she couldn’t see-certainly had a personality to make up for it. Sadly she passed due to illness and age recently as well. I have recently become mom to a miniature dachshund called Parker. All of my pets have taught me things about dogs and how each one needs to be loved differently, due to their personalities. I’m here to provide care to your pets, when they need it. I currently work from home-so have plenty of time to care for your pets, and provide the attention that they need. Be it a walk a day and being returned home after, or receiving care at my own home for the day. I am flexible and here for your pet. I always carry a spare lead with me-in case there are any issues on walks. For care in my own home-I have a secure garden, and have room to crate if that is what your pet is used to and comfortable with.
“Our cat, Evie, had a lovely time with Eleanor. Evie recently needed a change to her diet and some new medication, so it was important to us that we left her in safe hands. Eleanor certainly was the perfect person for the job, and we would absolutely recommend her and book her again. 5* :) ”
About: Long walks, hill walks, running (to be honest, it’s more jogging 😂), sitting in cafes; whatever your furry friend prefers let me know and I’ll come up with a plan! After 20 years in an office, I’ve broken free and am available during the day and some evenings. I’m in the lucky position of being pretty flexible! We have a 3 story family home, which we share with our Cavapoo, Rocket. Your dog, like ours, has free run of the house and small fenced garden. I will be solely responsible for the dogs, however my family will be around. My daughter is the animal whisperer, but my wife and son love being along for the ride.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 18 months since retiring from the police, I have owned dogs throughout my life, last being my beautiful Akita, I have experience with all breeds large and small. I’m a retired police officer and walk my client dogs most daily , I’m free to cater to all your needs and requirements whatever they may be. I will always try and keep to your dogs routine as close a possible to keep them relaxed and calm whilst you are away so they can still enjoy their time whilst you are away.
About: Hi All 😊 I am a very caring Irish lady who loves dogs, but have none of my own. Massive dog lover and love all sizes and breeds. Give amazing cuddles! I'm very affectionate and absolutely love the company of dogs. I had two in the past where I grew up in Ireland and I was more or less the sole carer of these dogs, one was a Springer Spaniel and other a Jack Russell. I am currently working full time (office admin) from home, but free to take your pooch for walks during the day. They will have my company all day usually 😊 I give them plenty of attention and of course cuddles! I do office work from home, so I'll always be there with your wee pooches for company.
“Kiran was polite, friendly and accommodating, she made the whole process smooth and painless and we felt very secure leaving her to check in on our little fluffballs. Would 100% recommend and will be re-booking.”
About: Hi my name is emmelia, I am 22 years old and I am a recent university drama school graduate, figuring out my next step. I love going on long walks in the evening, hikes on the weekend, and going travelling to new places I can explore. And of course I love the cuddles. I have 1 dog at home with my family who is a very cute cavapoo and she is very well behaved. I did this whilst I was at university walking people’s dogs and doing day care for them as well, and they kept coming back. I love long walks or just hugs and I’m happy for all weather conditions. I am currently back at home with my family looking for my next step, I love dogs and I am keen to go out on a lot more walks. I can go on long walks or short or just look after them for cuddles. I have a back garden which is only accessible for our household and fenced. We are able to make space for a crate if needed.
About: When you’re away, your dog deserves to feel safe, settled and understood. That is the environment I aim to create — a calm, steady home where care is personal, structured and consistent. I offer structured, home-based care for dogs who need more than just supervision. With 12 years of hands-on experience in boarding, day care, dog walking and grooming, I understand how to create balance — enrichment without overstimulation, affection with clear boundaries. I intentionally keep numbers small so each dog receives proper supervision, individual attention and thoughtful emotional awareness. No cages. No overcrowding. No rushed handling. Just a calm, structured home where dogs can soften, settle and feel secure. I work particularly well with: • Larger breeds • Sensitive or anxious temperaments • Dogs who benefit from calm, steady handling This is not a high-traffic boarding setup. It is a secure, professionally managed home environment where dogs can relax and regulate naturally. (Licensed by Telford & Wrekin Council -BTWAWL077) Pet care is part of my daily structure, not something I fit around other commitments. Boarding dogs are rarely left alone and follow a consistent home routine. My day is organised around walks, enrichment, rest and supervision, ensuring each dog receives steady attention throughout their stay. Drop-off and collection times are arranged in advance to maintain a calm, predictable rhythm for all dogs in my care. I believe: • Dogs mirror the energy around them • Calm environments encourage calm behaviour • Overstimulation creates stress • Stability builds trust For that reason, I don’t run a loud or high-traffic setup. I maintain a steady, balanced rhythm where dogs can settle naturally and feel secure. This is home-style care — managed professionally. • Fully licensed home boarding • Pet First Aid trained • Secure, family home environment • Structured daily routine • Enrichment-based care • No forceful handling • Regular photo updates Dogs are managed thoughtfully — never rushed, never crowded.
“Abby has been amazing , our little girls love her ! It worked out so well , we were worried our dogs had always stayed with family before but Abby put our minds at rest with pictures and letting us know how the dogs were Thanks very much Abby 😊”
About: I have had dogs in my life since the day I was born in all shapes and sizes. I care for many family and friends dogs when they’re on holiday. I’ve personally owned 5 dogs in my 22 years and cared for more than 25 dogs so I am more than capable of handling and loving any kind of dog x I’m a part time residential carer so will be at home most of the week and my partner is always at home on the days that I am working so your pups will never be left alone❤️ I also have my own fur baby so plenty of company and playing available🐾 I have a completely secure garden so your dogs can’t escape while they’re out or while we’re playing. I do have my own dog now so it’s essential that your dogs are okay with other dogs- he’s a big boy but still thinks he’s a lap dog🙈
About: Having had dogs in my own home since the age of 7 I feel more than qualified to keep yours happy. From teaching my ‘untrainable’ lurcher agility to pottering around with my elderly vizsla I’ve done it all. I have dog sat for various homes since I was 15 which inspired me to do my zoology degree and later to begin this degree in veterinary medicine. I have just completed a six month placement working as a wildlife care assistant where I not only learned valuable first aid skills but also invaluable experience in animal welfare and handling. My degree is 9-5 on Weekdays with Wednesdays and weekends off- I have plenty around this to help enrich your let! This is also only in term time so I am available for longer stays during the holidays My garden is completely fenced off with no exits (trust me if there were my dog would’ve found them!). The most important thing in my book of pet sitting is company and that means regular checks and playtime making sure everybody is safe at all times.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and through Rover, so I’m used to all sorts of dogs and personalities (and all the different routines that come with them!). I always try to keep things as normal as possible for them so they can just relax and do their usual thing while their owners are away. I’ve grown up around dogs and helped look after my family dog from puppy all the way through to 13, so I’m pretty used to everything from zoomies in the park to the slower let’s take our time senior strolls. I’m really calm and easygoing, and I just genuinely love being around dogs. I’m self-employed too, so my schedule is flexible which means I can properly be there for them and not rushing in and out. I just really enjoy it all, being outside, going on walks, and getting to know each dog’s little quirks. They all have their own personalities and it’s the best part of it really. Because I’m self-employed, my routine is really flexible which makes pet care easy to fit in. I can plan my days around walks, feeding times, and check-ins, so the dogs I’m looking after get proper attention rather than being squeezed in around a rigid schedule. I’m usually available throughout the week and can adapt depending on what’s needed. I don’t host pets in my own home as I live in a flat, so I always care for dogs in their own home where they feel most comfortable and settled. I’m very respectful of people’s space and routines, and I always follow instructions closely so everything stays familiar for the dog. On walks and visits, I’m very safety-focused, keeping dogs secure, supervised, and comfortable at all times.
“Imogen was fantastic help in looking after my 2 cats whilst I was away over Xmas. With detailed updates and some nice pics, it was so reassuring to know that they were in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to use again and would highly recommend. Many thanks again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and had my own family dogs and cats my whole life! I’m currently studying veterinary physiotherapy at uni hoping to go onto a career with dogs and horses. I’ve also completed a canine first aid course as part of my degree :) Currently i’m home from uni until October, I work part time on a horseracing yard but can fit my hours around bookings and therefore be flexible to suit your dogs needs :) I can offer your pets lots of cuddles and care for them however you prefer. I have doggy seatbelts for my car if needed but equally happy to walk them around their home area!

This was our first time using a petsitter and we weren't sure what to expect, but Eleanor was absolutely amazing. We recieved daily updates, pictures and videos and came home to very happy animals. Nothing was too much trouble for Eleanor - she was so lovely and we immediately knew she would be reliable and trustworthy. Couldn't have hoped for a better petsitter!
Steph was professional, communicative and thoughtful, throughout all times before, during and after she cared for our cat. Our cat is usually extremely timid and scared of any stranger, yet took to Steph immediately. Steph was consistently on time, detailed in her reports and always approachable with any specific requests that we had. An absolute delight and we are supremely grateful for her support and care, over what I'd always a very stressful period, let alone with a loved pet at home. Thank you Steph!

Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
