About: I am a fun and loving person towards dogs. I had dog and cats in my home since my childhood. Spending time with pets is my hobby and I am best at. If you want to keep your dogs with me I will make sure they are very well looked after and had fun too!! I have my own dogs with me who is very well behaved with other dogs. They can’t handle cats so I am not open for cats. But all type of dogs are welcome. I will follow the routine that you have for your dog, will walk them and play at home too. Will administer any medication if required. Your dogs will have so much nice time while you are away from them. Your dog will have a happy holiday away from home. I am currently working from home and able to take care of dogs very well. Having frequent potty breaks is not a problem and if dogs eat more than twice can also be taken care. I have fenced big garden and two of my own furry friends will keep your dog happy and outside on nice sunny days to play happy

I’m patient, reliable and always make each pet’s wellbeing my priority. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet cuddle, I’ll tailor my care to suit their routine and personality. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away.

I’m also available for overnight pet sitting and house sitting, allowing your pets to stay comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I’ll always make time for walks, play, cuddles and companionship, and I’ll keep to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible.

About: I've been a dog owner and in the position where I needed to leave my dogs with someone I trust that will provide the best care. So I know how you feel and make it my mission that every dog is happy and treated as the individual they are in my care. I've looked after dogs in people's homes, at my house, and had dogs stay for the day or need popping in to and walk whilst families are out at work or at family events. The most important part of any dog sitting job I undertake is knowing your dog and what you / the dog needs to be comfortable, if that means sleeping on our bed, no problem. If the dog prefers to have a bed / crate area, we can make that happen in a space you think they'll like. We are a family of 3 (unless you count the goldfish) and have a spacious house and garden. Although it can be loud at times (with a 6 year old), he is very aware of dogs, having lived with our 2 until mid 2025 when we lost our labrador. He knows not all dogs like extremely loud circumstances and he is an excellent ball thrower. Being a labrador and border collie owner, we are used to active dogs and their needs. However, more recently we've had many visits from a mini dachshund who has firmly made himself at home when he's with us. He requires less walks but more cuddles. Not a problem. We have looked after many dog needs in the last 15 years: Labrador(s), Border Collies, Greyhound, Tibetan Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Jack Russell(s), Bichon Frisé, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd including multiple cross breeds. I have experience volunteering for a specific sight hound rescue as well as the Animal Transport Network. I love dogs and now my 2 are no longer with us, both having reached nearly 16, it's time to get back to dogs, without having one of our own for a while. More than happy for a visit (essential prior to first booking) to meet your pooch. Thereafter, no problems. A typical day- Breakfast and morning walk Play before school School run with dog, if happy to come (not let unattended at all) Cuddles of sofa / sleep Lunch if required School run in afternoon Dinner & walk All timings based on what you require. On a weekend we are around in the house and tend to go out for a morning / afternoon walk, this might be a drive away. Could be a cafe stop (if your dog is happy with that) or we'll just stay local and walk to Cassiobury Park or down the canal. I currently work part time, 2 and a half days a week but these hours at flexible and can be amended due to the personal requirements you have. I am available Friday afternoon through to Sunday evening. Mon/Weds nights or full weeks with notice to change work around your pets needs. I have a fenced garden, multiple parks and green spaces nearby. An active 6 year old who doesn't tire of playing ball or tuggy. Allowed on sofa, bed, a playroom with kids toys that can be penned off. I can work my day / work around you. If your dog is happy to be left up to 4 hours or not, I can fit in around you. We will walk a dog twice a day unless specified, cuddles if wanted, play, food schedule that you dictate and lots of general fuss.

Claire was amazing! It was great knowing our cat, who can be a little grumpy, was being cared for my Claire who really seems to understand cats! Katsu warmed to her more as the week went along including rubs against her legs, which is rare with strangers! Claire gave us regular and detailed updates, would definitely book again without a doubt. Thanks Claire!

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have gained years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and smaller animals. Over the years, I’ve also regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ pets, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship while they were away. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes( having had an American Akita myself), and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for in my company. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a routine, giving extra exercise, or simply providing plenty of affection and attention. I’m currently working full time but can be made available most evenings during the week. I am fully flexible at weekends and when I’m not spending time with my lovely dog i will happily dedicate my time to your fur babies. I have a fenced garden and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is very content and will be happy to be kept separate if required, he’s such a lovely boy.

About: I've always loved dogs and hope to have one of my own someday. I've looked after friends' and family's dogs, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I work in a dog-friendly office and love spending time with the dogs that visit. I'll treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I'm usually available on weekends, as well as a couple of days during the week when I work from home. This gives me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I also work in a dog-friendly office, but I'd only consider bringing a dog to work once I'd gotten to know them well and if their owner was completely comfortable with it. My priority is always making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for in the environment that suits them best. I live in an apartment with my partner, and we have a large shared garden right downstairs, plus plenty of safe walking routes nearby for good walks and exercise. I keep things relaxed and always stick to each pet’s usual routine as much as possible, whether they’re staying with me or I’m looking after them in their own home.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have two cats of my own, so caring for pets has always been part of my life. I regularly look after and walk my friends’ dogs when they’re away, and I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter for 2 years. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own :) I mainly work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends, and I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime and care while you’re away. I have two cats at home, so I don’t offer boarding for now, just to avoid any pet disagreements! I’m happy to look after your pets in their own home where they feel safest.

About: I've always loved animals, and I've had cats and dogs most of my life. I volunteered at a pet shelter in Brazil, in which I learnt a lot about caring for cats and dogs. I've been looking after friends' and families' houses, cats and dogs for over two decades. I'm confident in taking care of pets, giving them lots of love, cuddles, playing with them, and also taking them outside and for a walk, as necessary. I have experience with pets with special needs, be it physical or mental disabilities. I'm also confident in giving them medication when necessary. I currently work as a programme coordinator at a charity and work remotely, which gives me plenty of time to care for your furry family members. I can keep up with their routine and keep them company. I find it important to make sure your pets maintain their routines. I respect the rules you set for them and make sure that their day-to-day is disturbed as little as possible. If they feel comfortable and safe, that makes me happy.

About: Hi, I’m Rita. My experience with animals began growing up on a farm, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. Since then, animals have always been a big part of my world. I’ve had both dogs and cats of my own, volunteered for several years with the Animal Welfare Trust in Watford, and cared for different dogs through BorrowMyDoggy. These experiences have helped me understand how unique every pet is. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting you both. I am flexible and able to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I am also happy to care for both cats and dogs and can adapt to different routines depending on each pet’s individual needs. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the day, and I am also open to discussing house sitting arrangements depending on each pet’s requirements and routine. I always aim to be reliable, responsive, and clear when arranging bookings. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet and entering your home. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing and routine are always my top priority. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any specific care requirements. I have been DBS checked, and I aim to provide a calm, reliable and respectful service at all times. During visits, I will provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. For safety, dogs are always walked on a lead unless the owner has specifically requested otherwise and provided clear recall instructions.

Susanne was great, it’s clear she has lots of experience with dogs. She was friendly and confident with our rescue dog Mini and put me at ease when she came to visit her before the booking. She kept me updated throughout both visits and I was able to relax knowing that Mini was being well looked after. Would definitely book again!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, growing up with breeds like Chow Chow, Golden Retriever, Samoyed, and Alaskan Malamute, and I currently care for my own Czech Wolfdog. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of dogs’ unique needs and personalities. Additionally, I’ve worked closely with professional dog trainers, which has taught me how to read a dog’s behavior and proactively manage situations during walks to avoid potential triggers. Whether it’s providing companionship, ensuring safety, or catering to the specific needs of different breeds, I’m confident in offering top-notch care for your furry friends. I have extensive experience caring for medium and large-breed dogs, having raised several over the years, and I am currently living with a Czech Wolfdog and a maine coon. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, structure, and companionship throughout the day. We live in an excellent area with access to large parks and beautiful nature spots. I regularly take dogs out for long walks, hikes, and play sessions, whether by car or on foot. When we’re not exploring nearby parks, my spacious, fully fenced back garden offers a safe and enjoyable space for dogs to roam, relax, and play freely. Dog care is part of my everyday life — I truly enjoy spending time with them, helping them stay active, engaged, and happy. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or a pet owner’s home. I create a calm and comfortable environment for the pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy at all times. I’m highly attentive to their needs, from maintaining regular feeding and walking schedules to keeping their surroundings clean and safe. During walks, I’m vigilant about their interactions with other animals and the environment, avoiding potential triggers and ensuring their safety on busy streets or parks. I also communicate openly with pet owners, providing updates and following any specific care instructions they have. My goal is to build trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring everyone feels confident and at ease.

Ayesha took care of Angel while we were away in Mauritius for 3 weeks! She sent us photos and videos of Angel after each visit. Angel was very well taken care of, even during the unexpected heatwave! She also went to the shop for us as the dry food was over. Angel has been very affectionate with her while we were away! We came back and Angel was happy and lively. We highly recommend Ayesha!🙌🏽

We are pleased to provide this reference for Amy, who cared for our two cats, while we were away. Amy was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. She ensured our cats were well cared for, handling feeding, litter maintenance, and giving them plenty of attention. Amy kept us updated with regular messages and photos, giving us peace of mind. When we returned, both cats were happy and relaxed. We highly recommend Amy to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring cat sitter and would gladly use her services again.

I can’t explain how happy I was with Sophia! She was the best person to choose, she was caring and always listened to whatever I requested. She left everything sparkling clean and even watered my plants when the weather was crazy hot. I am so glad she was the person to take care of my house and my two babies. I hope she won’t move away so I can book with her in the future 🩷 all the best Sophia and thank you so so much once more 🩷

Jo is absolutely fantastic - I highly recommend her! She arrived a few days before to meet Ezekiel and was not phased by giving him a round of his medication there and then. She was very confident and transparent in when she'd come and what needed to be done. I would definitely recommend as her photo updates really helped put me at ease while away. Thank you so much!

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 Three Rivers 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.

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 Three Rivers 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!

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.
