“Cluny did an amazing job looking after our cat. The cat immediately warmed to Cluny and came out of his shell- as he's a shy cat. Cluny sent lots of photos, asked helpful questions and followed all instructions and advice. 100% recommended.”
“So happy with the care and attention Carolina puts into every visit she does. I am so happy Bubi has her when I have to be out and I always come back to such a happy cat! Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Claire took care of my Luna whilst I was away for the day, took her out to shaded spot as it’s quite hot, and spent time with her 😊 Also made sure that my house key was securely locked away upon leaving. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“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.
“Cora is professional, friendly and communicative. She looked after our 2 cats for a week and it was lovely to receive her detailed updates and daily photos! Would happily recommend:)”
“A huge thank you to Khaley for looking after our cats for a second time! She sends regular updates and photos and you can see the cats are so happy to see her! Would highly recommend!!”
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.
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 love dogs and have looked after my family dogs from an early age. I offer walks on weekends and weekday evenings as well as in home pet sitting throughout the week. I have had plenty of experience looking after my parents whippets and greyhound growing up, giving them long walks, treats and lots of attention. I would really appreciate your consideration to take responsibility of your dogs and I will be flexible in the hours I can help. I also have a lot of experience looking after bigger dogs and puppies. My Aunt has a jack russell who required quite a lot of attention and long walks to keep him happy. Please use my Promo code for £15 off your first booking with me: FERGUB56721 I’m currently working from home, with flexible office days. This allows me plenty of time to look after your dogs, and allows for you to make any adjustments to the days you need me. I have looked after older dogs that require specific medication regiments and younger dogs that require plenty of attention. I always try to ensure your dogs needs are met and that they feel happy.
“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: 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.
“Tom is brilliant! We came home to such a happy cat, she was very well looked after. Thank you so much for sending photos and texting updates - it was great to see you hanging out together. We would love to have you look after her again if you’re free and Kitty would love it too! So friendly and accommodating as well, thanks again Tom ?”

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.

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.
