“Rita was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for our 20-day trip! From the very beginning, she was warm, reliable, and clearly experienced with cats. She took excellent care of Freya—administering her medications as advised, keeping up with her routines, and most importantly, bonding with her beautifully. Freya took to her instantly. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Rita also kept the house spotless and even left us a lovely plant as a thoughtful surprise. Her presence made our travels truly worry-free. I would highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and genuinely kind cat sitter—and would absolutely have her back again!”

“Chloe was great, my Roly poly fell asleep on her, which is a compliment in itself, normally Roly sits in my chair staring out the window. I would definitely ask Chloe to dog sit again.”


About: I am a kind and caring person. I work for the NHS in Pharmacy. I have owned cats for over 20 years and I couldn’t imagine my home without one. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care around my day. I’m available for early morning visits, evenings, and weekends, and I can adjust my routine when needed. Your pet will still get plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I’m happy to discuss specific timing to suit your needs. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality, and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I’m reliable, kind, and easy going, and I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of the family whether in my home or yours.

“Matthew has just done a two week housesit with three dogs in roasting conditions. He was absolutely brilliant. He clearly cared for them all exceedingly well. He adjusted their walk times to ensure they got out on walks very early and very late in the day to avoid the worst of the heatwave. He was grooming them and checking for signs of distress. He dealt with a matted fur area on the paw of a fluffy cavapoo and gave them a lot of love and sent me a load of photos. Matthews communication with me prior to the sit and during was first class. Particularly helpful as I had work going on in the house while he was away and he gave me feedback on how that was going. He has left the house tidy and even ensured that loads of windows were already open in the rooms I and my family including some under 5s were coming back to. I would highly recommend Matthew.”

“My Frenchie had a lovely time with Magda and her family, with frequent updates and photos. I can tell he was very well taken care of and they all love dogs very much! We will definitely be booking Magda again 👍🏻”


“It was our first time booking Nikki, and also our first time having someone look after Fiadh in our flat. Add in that Fiadh had just had her spay and was still in recovery. Nikki was fabulous from point of meet and greet to her calm and reassuring presence on the night. Fiadh settled quickly with Nikki and as a result we were able to go out for the night feeling calm. We highly recommend Nikki and look forward to seeing her again.”

About: Hi! 👋 I live in central Tunbridge Wells with my partner and our three cats. Growing up in a family that regularly adopted rescue pets, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've looked after and owned pets with all sorts of personalities – from large, energetic dogs to independent cats, cuddly companions, and senior pets who enjoy taking things slower. These days, I'm often the first person family and friends call when they need someone reliable to care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal is unique, so I'm happy to tailor my visits to suit your pet's individual needs, whether that's walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. I'm also great with smaller animals and have previously owned birds, chickens, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you know your pet is happy, comfortable, and in safe hands while you're away. I have access to my own car and can also walk to local bookings. I'd love to meet you and your furry family members, let's to arrange a meet and greet today! 🐾 I currently work from home for a national animal welfare charity in non-vetanarity role, which offers flexibility across the week. Because of this (and my lifetime of cat ownership!) have a solid understanding of behaviours and best practice - particularly around cats. Your home is just as important to me as your pets. I'll always treat it with care and respect. Before booking, I'm happy to chat through your pet's routine and any specific instructions you may have. My goal is to make sure you feel happy, comfortable, and reassured from the start.
“Shannon was so great looking after our dog, we were a little apprehensive as it was the first time we have left her with someone who isn't family but Shannon was the perfect sitter for our dog and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. We got updates throughout that day and came home to a happy content dog. :)”


About: Hi there fellow cat people! My name is Emily and I’m 28, my passions in life are animals (especially cats, art, music and books! I have 2 gorgeous black cats of my own, one is a 14 year old who I raised from the day they were born in our rabbit hutch and a 5 year old lock-down kitty. I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have also volunteered a couple times at SCAR (animal rescue) in the cattery, and a wildlife conservation centre in Bali. So I have extensive experience with pets in general, but cats are my true love. My experience also highlights my passion for animal rights and fighting against animal cruelty, so I hope you can trust your animals will be in the best care.
“Amy looked after our 5 month old Labrador puppy, Scooby, for a weekend whilst we were away. I have never used Rover and we were apprehensive, as Scooby is a puppy, to leave him with someone but I had no reason to worry at all, Amy was amazing! Amy came to the house and met Scooby a few weeks before we went away and straight away I felt at ease. Scooby loved her and Amy is a natural with dogs! Whilst we were away Amy provided regular Pupdates and Scooby loved his weekend with a new friend. We will definitely ask Amy to look after Scooby again when we next need a dog sitter. Thank you so much Amy!!”

“Isabelle and Adam did a fantastic job of looking after our nervous Labrador Bosco and our home at short notice. Bosco was clearly very happy and relaxed with them. They also left our home in amazing condition. We will be booking again with them”

About: We are a couple, Diana and Pieter, both 50 years old, with a lifelong connection to animals. Pieter grew up on a farm in South Africa, surrounded by many different animals, not just dogs and cats, which gave him a natural ease and confidence in caring for them. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, and rabbits, so taking care of animals has always been part of my daily life. We both still have our own pets today, so caring for animals is something that comes naturally to us. We’re used to their routines, their needs, and the responsibility that comes with them. If you see that we’ve selected the option to bring a pet, it would occasionally be our Springer Spaniel, 10, Qtoy, calm and friendly, but of course only if your pets like to be social. We also have a lovely black Labrador Retriever, american style, named Beny , of 3 years. We both work remotely, which means we spend most of our time at home and can be very present with the pets we look after. We like to keep things simple: respecting each animal’s routine, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For us, pet and house sitting is a way to stay close to animals, experience places more deeply, and take care of a home with the same attention we would give our own. We currently work remotely and part-time, so we have plenty of time to spend with your pets and keep them company. We’re available for pet and house sitting, staying in your home during the week and/or weekends. We take care of pets by staying in the owner’s home, so they can remain in their familiar environment and routine. We follow all the instructions given carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific needs. Since we work remotely and part-time, we spend a lot of time at home, so pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention and companionship. We like to keep their routine as stable as possible, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been comfortable around dogs since childhood, we had a pet for about 5 years. I also lived with a dog for a year recently. I’ve done dog sitting over night for 2 weeks at a time and really enjoyed it. I love walks, do feeding time consistently and have even learned some tricks from a dog whisperer. I work from home and am busy in the mornings but from early afternoons onwards Im free and usually take walks anyways. I’m looking to get out more so I’d love to dog walk I’m very comfortable around dogs and am happy to enfornce any behaviours you’ve been teaching your dogs. Whatever rules you have set I will ensure they are followed fully and the dogs are always safe and happy.
“Eleanor recently sat for our three dogs over a long 4 night weekend. We had met the week before so she could get to know them and the set up here beforehand and was prompt, quietly attentive to all the info coming her way and clearly at ease with the dogs. She doesn’t drive but was pretty local to us and had arranged her transport to and from our home. During the booking we kept in touch via WhatsApp and she sent some photos of the dogs out for walks and at home which I appreciated. She left the house in good condition and the dogs looked happy and had obviously be played with. Eleanor had also spent some time giving the oldest dog a good comb as he was mid moult and looked much more handsome than when we’d set off! I would happily ask Eleanor to sit for our dogs again.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was very young, growing up with both dogs and cats and developing a genuine love for animals of all kinds, including rabbits and hamsters. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a small Bichon Frise, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Because I have my own dog at home, I focus on caring for small and medium-sized breeds, where I can ensure a comfortable and safe environment for everyone. While I don’t take on larger breeds, I’m more than happy to provide attentive, reliable care for smaller dogs—whether that’s walks, day sitting, or home visits. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. My schedule is provided a week in advance, so it can vary slightly from week to week. However, this also allows me to plan ahead and offer good availability for pet care. I’m generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m flexible when it comes to arranging walks or home visits in advance. I always do my best to help As a pet owner, I make my dog Freddy’s happiness and wellbeing a top priority. He gets plenty of walks every day—even if that means spending my work breaks outside with him. We usually enjoy shorter walks around the block or by the river, along with one or two longer walks in the park for extra exercise and stimulation. At home, I’ve created a very dog-friendly environment filled with toys, cozy blankets, and (of course) treats. While the whole house is welcoming to dogs, the sofa is definitely a favourite spot for relaxing and feeling comfortable.
“Natalie was a great sitter. We were away for our wedding and honeymoon, which meant we wanted to worry as little as possible about our animals! Natalie enabled us to do just that. We received just the right amount of thoughtful updates and the animals all seemed extremely happy with their new friend. When we returned from our holiday, the house was nice and clean, all animals were very happy and it was as if we never left. I would strongly recommend Natalie and I am certain we will use her services again. Thank you Natalie!”

Isabella & Adam were perfect sitters. I came back to a very happy Freddie, who had clearly enjoyed having them look after him. The house was tidy and well cared for, and I was incredibly impressed with everything they did. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Freddie and my home were in such good hands while I was away. I can’t thank them enough and would happily recommend them to anyone. Thank you both for everything! 🐾😊

Rita stepped in at the last minute to house-sit and watch our cat, Loki, following a hospital visit he had. Since we weren’t in town, Rita had to administer medicine (pills) and watch to ensure Loki did not have a repeat incident. We were nervous to leave our cat and home in the hands of someone we had never met before, but Rita did a fantastic job! She provided us regular updates on Loki, responded to our questions quickly, and left our house in better shape than when we’d handed over the keys originally! I couldn’t recommend her enough, thanks Rita!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Tonbridge walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Tonbridge 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
