“Isobel was a lifesaver. She accepted to take care of my cat in short notice while I was in a trip. My cat is very shy, but she was also able to pet her. She keeped regular visit updates of my cat wellbeing.”
“It has been such a nice and reassuring experience having Emily look after my cat. I was reassured from first meeting that Emily radiated good vibes. I've had lots of pictures back and communication and it is clear that my cat has been very happy with her company. I'm particularly pleased that Emily spent plenty of time with my cat giving her attention and love rather than just chucking food down and leaving .. She also did a wonderful job of looking after my hanging baskets and window boxes during hot weather. Emily has proved to be communicative, trustworthy and dependable. I would not hesitate use Emily's services again. Thankyou Emily.”
“Alina has looked after our hamsters multiple times now and we have had no issues. Friendly, professional, and amazing communication. Would definitely recommend and will be using more in the future!”
About: I've had dogs as a child as part of the family and known how important they are to their owner. More recently I have cats (3) and whilst living in Jordan I fostered several cats and found them homes. I'm used to large dogs, elderly dogs and excited puppies and thoroughly enjoy walking them and keeping them company. If you need someone to pop in and check on your furfamily during the day whilst you're away, stay the night or walk them I can help. I'm a teacher so have half terms free for when you may sant to get away. I don't have children so not dictated by this factor either. I'm not offering board at my home. However I will follow whatever instructions you leave since it will be different for each furfamily. Happy to clear litter trays, play with your pets for mental stimulation or take for walks.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, fish, cows, you name it. It feels pointless going on a walk without a dog to me. I’d love the chance to meet some people and animals, and spend my evenings being productive. Since moving away from home I miss my dogs so much! I have helped my mum raise them, I’ve looked after puppies from birth, old dogs who need meds and naughty dogs too who need some discipline. So I will do my best to help out and suit whatever your pets needs are, I’m really easygoing and flexible. I do have a full time job, I work 8am -4:15 pm. It’s relatively flexible if I need to leave early or go and check on a pet at lunch time. If I have enough notice I can also work from home. My evenings are always quite free which is the ideal time to help out. I’ve always been responsible and respectful, and have been trusted to babysit in other peoples homes. I am renting a room in someone’s home so I am used to respecting someone else’s space and property.
About: Hi, I’m Alex - a reliable, caring dog sitter who understands that dogs aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can genuinely trust, so I focus on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, loved and understood while you’re away. I have hands-on experience with a strong-willed, sensitive dog of my own, which has taught me a huge amount about dog behaviour, body language, routines, emotional regulation and building trust. Because of that, I’m especially attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, anxious, reactive, cuddly, independent or just need a calm environment and consistency. I work from home, so I’m flexible and able to keep dogs company, maintain their routine and give them plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, sleep setup, medication, boundaries and training cues, because I know familiarity helps dogs feel safe, settled and secure. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is being cared for in the way they’re used to. I’m DBS checked, reliable and detail-oriented, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care, patience and affection I would my own. I’ll also respect your home and keep everything clean, safe and well looked after while I’m there.
About: Although in relatively new to Rover, I have hands on experience caring for and walking a young, energetic Golden Retriever. I’m comfortable handling larger breeds and enjoy taking dogs on enriching walks suited to their individual needs. I’m passionate about dog behaviour and training and I enjoy learning more about how dogs communicate and what makes them feel happy, safe and confident. I’m patient, reliable and understand how important trust is when leaving your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated. I’m available mainly on weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors making them a great opportunity for longer walks and one on one care. Weekdays I’m available mainly after 5pm depending on my schedule. I currently provide pet care in your home where your dog can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routine. I’ll take them time to understand your dog’s individual needs including feeding times, play, walks, rest and any other instructions you’d like me to follow. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can have peace of mind
“Our four cats were so well cared for while we were away! Daily updates with photos gave us complete peace of mind. Each cat’s unique personality and needs were clearly understood and respected, from feeding to playtime and cuddles. We returned to happy, relaxed cats! Highly recommend Carolina! ”
“Kaye is a lovely lady and wonderful with our two dogs Ozzee and Rockee. She is reliable and caring and they both love her. I would highly recommend Kaye. She has looked after our doggies twice for drop in visits and we have booked her for house sitting in June when I know they and our house will be in safe hands.”
About: I have been a dog owner since my early childhood. I have experience looking after puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently have a very energetic dog that requires lots of walks. She is very friendly and misses a lot her companion, our dachshund that passed away 3 years ago. I am in full time employment, however I work from home twice a week, Mondays and Fridays. I am also available for dog walks and pet sitting most weekends. I can house and pet sit or do drop in visits as and when needed provided it is within a driving distance and detailed instructions are provided with regards to pet care if your pet has custom requirements.

On the weekdays im available after 3pm and I can stay overnight, and of course i can stay for the weekends. The elderly women I used to work for she told me how much her dogs can eat as some of them were on diet , also there was a dog named Suzy she was quite an old dog and one of her eyes were going blind and i used to clean it for her and put eye-drops in her eye.
“Cora did a fantastic job looking after our two cats over the Christmas period while we were away. Made sure they had plenty of food and water, plus gave them a few treats with loads of attention through play on the days she was visiting. Excellent communication with photos to show both cats were safe and happy. I definitely recommend Cora and we will hopefully be using her again if she is available!”
About: I have long experience looking after my own animals over the years, dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and guinea fowl. I have lived in remote places and had to adapt as situations arose. Now returning to Oxfordshire I want to broaden to looking after animals when people need the help of someone with common sense and a love for animals. I am currently at home and therefore very flexible, I do work away from home periodically and am looking for a job that takes me outside in the fresh air and don't mind the weather. I am happy to get out and about with your pet as well as be at home. I'm just as happy sitting and keeping company as I am doing food, hygiene, medicines and visits out. I don't have any pets in my current home so am able to be fully focused on yours.
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs at home and I've taken care of pets for friends and family over the years. I love being around them, caring for them and giving them love. I have a miniature daschund myself and he's the sweetest boy. I'd have more pets in a heartbeat if I could. I'd love to take care of your furbabies. It would be my pleasure. I work full time Mon-Fri but there's a lot of flexibility with my job. I can pop out and pop in as needed so caring for your pet is no problem at all. I will follow all your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You will have daily updates (if preferred) so you can rest assured that all is well with your pets throughout my time with them.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2022 across several platforms, from energetic puppies and affectionate cats to rabbits, lizards, and even the occasional guinea pig. At home, I’m a proud cat mum to Quilla, my 4-year-old feline companion who keeps me on my toes and reminds me how every pet has its own personality and needs. I treat every animal I look after as if they were my own, with patience, love, and a focus on safety and comfort. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or following special care instructions, I pay attention to every detail to make sure your furry friend feels secure, stimulated, and happy while you’re away. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and outdoor breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily adjust to feeding times, walks, and cuddle breaks, ensuring your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Our house is a modest size safe home. No children and has a decent garden fully fenced. Our home is a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment, fully equipped for both active pets and those who prefer quiet company. We have secure indoor spaces, a cozy resting area, and plenty of room for play and enrichment. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I always tailor the setup to suit their comfort level and routine.
“Suzanne was so easy to communicate with and got back to me quickly. I could tell right away that she was a true cat lover, and immediately put my mind at ease that she was the right choice. She came by and met my little dude first, and helped out when I had to leave earlier than I had planned. Came home to a very happy little buddy. She is great! ”
About: Hi I’m Rave :) Just a little about me.. I work in the NHS in a support services role and have the flexibility to work from home and love any time I can spend around animals! I currently rent and do not have the option to adopt my own little pets, hence this would be the perfect opportunity to spread my love. In my spare time I like going for walks, crocheting and doing puzzles! I work from home 3 days of the week so have the flexibility to do drop ins and take pets out for walks etc when I’d like - am able to drive places as well! If I were house sitting I’d try to do as much as I could based on the pets regular schedule so they have a good experience while their parents are away :) It’s important to me that the pets (and owners) feel comfortable with me being in their home - always nice to do a short introduction before the sitting day as this will help them familiarise with me. It’s helpful when owners leave instructions on what to do as each pet is so different- bit about their personality also helps reassure I’m doing the right things to give them the care that’s best for them.

We returned home to a happy cat :) Nicola was amazing at looking after our Jericho, she made sure to send us detailed reports of her visits with plenty of photos which put our minds at ease while we were away! Overall very professional, everything was done exactly as discussed! I would highly recommend Nicola to everyone :)
Carolina is incredibly reliable and helped us take great care of our two cats during this long holiday. We were quite worried because of the heatwave, but she cooperated with us and tried many ways to help the cats. She's a truly dedicated pet sitter, and I'm very grateful to her. I'll definitely book her again next time.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
