About: I grew up in a household in which there were always animals around: cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even stick insects! I am now living with my family and we currently have 3 gorgeous dogs: Molly, Dotty and Maia. I feed them, take them for their walks, play with them, bathe them, trim their claws, and give them any medicines they need. I love animals so much, and joined this app to meet all the pups and cats!

During weekdays, I am able to housesit, free for a short walk before work in the morning and a longer walk during evenings. As my work is onsite, I’m unable to do lunchtime walks. During weekends, I am able to housesit and do walks any time of day. Being a pet owner and also my experience working in the education and childcare sector, I treat health and safety with the upmost importance. I am very observant and will keep a constant eye on your pet, tuning into their behavioural cues. I love being outside, particularly going on hikes- if your dog is also a big walker i’d be happy to take them and bring along everything they need to stay happy and safe!

About: I have always taken care of various pets, mostly friends and families. I've had cats and dogs in my family, both immediate and extended, and I've always enjoyed spending time with them, walking them and playing with them. I would definitely like to take on new challenges also, be it bathing or training and handling difficult pets. I'm currently studying part time so not every day is always free but i'm usually free weekdays and weekends morning, afternoon and evening. Sadly I do not drive so any pet would need to be fairly local. I live in a cosy second story flat near large fields so a dog would be amply stimulated and comfortable in my home. I would follow whatever guidelines that the pet owner would have in their home, so long as it is good for the pet.
About: I've had all sorts of pets over the years; dogs, cats, lizards, fish, rats, hamsters, mice... I'm animal obsessed! Apart from being in the process of completing a dog grooming diploma, I don't have any professional experience. But I do have lots of personal experience. I own a beautiful, obedient cockapoo who I adore! And have had pets my entire life. I spend a lot of my time with my 4 year old son & rather than working a typical 9-5 job, I'd prefer to earn some money doing what I love, so here I am. If you want your pampered pets to be equally as loved/played with as when you're home then drop me a message! I look forward to meeting your furry friends (and yourselves)

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Torfaen
We can’t recommend Tanya highly enough! She was absolutely amazing with our cat, Luna, during her drop in visits. Luna is usually very shy and wary of new people, but Tanya was so patient and understanding, always letting Luna interact on her own terms. It didn’t take long before Luna was completely comfortable with her, approaching her for attention and even jumping into her lap for cuddles, which is something she rarely does with new people! Tanya was incredibly thorough and did everything we asked during each visit. It was so reassuring knowing Luna was being so well cared for while we were away. We especially appreciated the detailed daily updates, along with lots of photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease and let us see just how happy and relaxed Luna was. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care Tanya gave Luna and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. We’d absolutely love for Tanya to look after Luna again in the future!

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 Torfaen 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.

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.
