Shelley Anne was the perfect sitter. She came to visit me and Honey before to make sure Honey would be happy, and Shelley Anne happy to visit. Shelley Anne knows so much about dogs and dog behaviour so I felt more than comfortable to have her visit. I felt very relaxed knowing Shelley Anne would be visiting and will definitely recommend her.

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

Rita looked after my 3 cats for 6 days and despite some initial hesitation they were all interacting and playing with her by day 4 which is a very positive outcome. I received plenty of photos, videos, and updates.

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 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.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have owned pets myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Over the years I’ve looked after dogs, cats and small pets for friends, family and neighbours, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and lots of love and attention. 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 work in a primary school Monday to Thursday, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings, on Fridays, weekends and during school holidays. 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. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, walks, playtime or simply providing company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved and relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing everything is in safe hands.

Zahra looked after Reya for a few days over the Christmas period. She took lots of photos when she did her drop ins and did a wonderful job keeping Reya happy and comfortable while we were away! Reya can be very shy but she seemed to take to Zahra very quickly and we were super impressed. We would absolutely ask Zahra to look after her if we need in the future!

About: I have looked after friend’s dogs for the past 7 years. The dogs may stay with us from 1 or 2 nights to 2 or 3 weeks. I have attended puppy training classes with my friend and her dog. I love all dogs, younger, older and any age in between. I teach primary age and special needs children so have lots of patience. I’m currently working part time so have lots of time to play with the dogs and take them for local walks. I have a gated side access to my house so muddy paws are no stress for us. I have a fenced garden so dogs will be safe. They will get as much attention and stroking they need. We can sit and chill or play games of fetch.They won’t be left alone!

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.

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 am a qualified Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviour Practitioner with extensive hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments. My experience ranges from family pets and pedigree breeds to rescue dogs with complex behavioural and medical needs. I have worked extensively with anxious, fearful, reactive, traumatised and neglected dogs, helping them build confidence, develop coping skills and successfully integrate into home environments. Through my work with rescue organisations, I have gained practical experience rehabilitating dogs recovering from abuse, abandonment and long term stress. I worked at Lanta Animal Welfare in Thailand, where I supported the rehabilitation and welfare of rescue dogs, including disabled and special needs dogs. My responsibilities included behaviour assessments, training, socialisation, enrichment, welfare monitoring, recovery support and assisting with hydrotherapy and physiotherapy programmes. I am confident handling dogs with mobility challenges, medical conditions and behavioural concerns, and I understand the importance of adapting care to each dog’s individual needs. I have personally adopted a disabled rescue dog, which has further deepened my understanding of canine rehabilitation and compassionate care. Whether your dog is energetic, nervous, reactive, elderly, disabled, a recent rescue, or simply in need of a safe and enriching environment, I provide patient, knowledgeable and welfare focused care tailored to their unique personality and requirements. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and can easily adjust my routine to suit each pet’s needs Before any pet arrives, the floor is properly cleaned to make sure there is nothing for your pet to consume. All the attention is for the furry friend to guarantee safety.

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. 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 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!

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
