About: With 32 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats — including raising my own cheeky dachshund — I offer calm, loving care that feels just like home. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, which means I can give pets the attention they need throughout the day — whether that’s morning walks, playtime, or evening cuddles. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine and give them lots of love, attention, and care while respecting your space as if it were my own.

We had a great experience with Sian during her drop-in visit for our two dogs, Conrad and CJ. Communication was excellent throughout, which we really appreciated! CJ can be a bit grumpy at times, and Sian handled it perfectly by just giving him space and letting him be 😁Conrad, on the other hand, was thrilled to have a new friend and clearly enjoyed the visit!☺️ Thank you again, Sian, for taking such good care of them, we’d happily book again!

About: The perfect location if you’re flying from Stansted Airport - only 10 minutes away! We are a pet sitting couple, so rest assured with us your dog will get double the attention, double the care and double the love! Me and my partner Theo have both been living with several dogs since children and having them around feels so natural. We are also happy to meet new people and find some new friends for our puppy son Milo! Their happiness is our happiness as well and we make sure to provide the care and safety every pet parent would want. We have a lot of indoor and outdoor space that allows them to be very active everyday and we always enjoy a good long afternoon walk in the nature as well! Feel free to contact us and looking forward to hearing from you! We are currently working from home and we don’t have any restrictions. We are very flexible and can accommodate the needs of taking care of your pet. We have a big front and back garden. The house is fully fenced and our gate is always safely closed. If needed we could securely isolate certain areas in the property. We have a lovely dog house and a crate. We love cooking proper food for our dog but we will always follow your dietary guidelines. The house indoors is very spacious and we don’t have dangerous items laying around, so there is no danger.

Nobody could've taken better care of Barney than Liam! He left everything in perfect order. He cared for Barney as if she was his own. I can highly recommend Liam to anyone wanting a cat sitter. I don't think you can find anyone better. I would only leave Barney with someone trustworthy who would take great care of her.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and currently own a very friendly 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as well as two rabbits, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. I have previous experience dog, cat and rabbit sitting for family and friends and always treat every animal as if they were my own. I’ve always had a deep compassion for animals, and their wellbeing is always my top priority. My dog is extremely gentle and friendly with both dogs and rabbits, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I also understand how reassuring updates are for owners, so I always send plenty of photos and messages while you’re away. I’m currently studying Digital Marketing at university, which has helped me become organised, reliable and communicative. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and make them feel safe, loved and happy while you’re away 🐾 I currently work part-time alongside studying Digital Marketing at university, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. If I’m not home, my partner usually is, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care and exercise. I have a very friendly 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who gets along well with both dogs and rabbits. For safety and comfort, I only accept dogs that are friendly with other dogs. My own rabbits live outside in their own large secure fenced area, completely separate from visiting pets. If I care for rabbits in my home, they will always stay safely indoors. My dog is very gentle with rabbits, but if a rabbit is nervous or prefers space, I’m able to keep them fully separated to make sure they feel safe and comfortable at all times. Dogs in my care will receive at least two walks a day, lots of attention, playtime and regular photo updates for owners while they’re away 🐾

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. My dog sitting journey started in 2018 and I haven’t looked back since. Initially it started when my friend needed someone to look after her rescue dog when she went away for the weekend, 6 years later and he’s a regular! I am quite flexible but sometimes my availability will work around my current work schedule. I have several days off in the week and every other weekend off. I will always do a visit prior to the start of the dog sit/check in visit - this is to ensure the care I offer is best suited for myself, you and your pet

About: I have been a go-to dog sitter for family, friends and neighbours with my family having two dogs. My partner has had dobermans. We have a Weimanarer who loves other dogs and people. Whether it’s an energetic stroll or a cozy cuddle, we are happy to help! We can’t wait to meet adorable dogs and add some paw-sitivity to their day! My partner and I are available for boarding and daycare on weekdays and weekend. We live near a field so have easy access to exercise space for your dog.

About: Significantly more attuned than the average person to the language of dogs and cats, I am incredibly caring and adore animals. I volunteer with Guide Dogs as a respite carer and have had dogs in my life since birth, (my first word was woof and that’s no lie) and then later cats … and rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters and horses. Friends and family often ask for my assistance caring for their pets and I have a reputation for being a dog / cat magnet. I am a gardener and digital consultant, so I’ll either be at home or the dog can come out to work with me if they are well behaved and it’s something they would enjoy. Otherwise they will be left at my home - open plan kitchen and lounge for up to 4 hours (depending on the animal). The day starts with a walk, with another a dinner time. Cuddles on the sofa to end the day. I have a fenced garden with grass, no other pets or children and I live on a quiet cul de sac in the heart of the Essex countryside with walks and fields in every direction.

You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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 Uttlesford 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 Uttlesford 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:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
