“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!”
“Carolina was fantastic looking after Bubi. She listened carefully to all my concerns and came home to a very happy cat. Will definitely be booking her again 💗 ”
“Amazing as always, excellent care taken of our two cats who love the visits. Great communication and I know they are in good hands which helps us to relax while we are away. Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“Isobel did a wonderful job making sure The Boy(tm) was doing well while I was gone. I got updates letting me know how he was doing and it sounds like they got on well, having shared many a chin scritch. Will certainly be considering Isobel for future cat care requirements”
“Alina was everything I wanted from a cat sitter. Reliable, friendly and kind to my two nervous cats (and me). I would be delighted to book her another time and recommend her unreservedly. 💯”
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: 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.
“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 had and loved dogs for all my life. From having just finished my rowing scholarship in the USA, I now want to delve into my other passions which is working with animals and animal care. My family has had purebreds from Rhodesian Ridgeback’s, Labradors, West Highland Terriers to rescues (that obviously are a whole range of breeds). We currently have two Romanian rescue dogs, Tora and Finn. They were both one year old when we got them and both had traumatic pasts. It has taken around a year for both of them to feel more settled and comfortable doing most things like even getting into a car. Thus, I have experience with dogs who have had a rough beginning. I am an active person and love going on hikes, jogs and camping trips with them. My favorite thing is to see any dog running around, tails up, happy and knowing I’m giving them a fun, adventure filled life that they deserve. I am available at the weekdays and weekends for walking, dog sitting and drop in visits. I am able to do longer hikes or jogs with your dogs too (if they are younger or high energy). If you leave them with me, they will have a great time, get some treats and will most likely come back to you tired and ready for a nap. I usually travel with my dogs in my dog seat cover / basket on my backseats. I will usually give my dogs treats occasionally throughout the day and probably yours too as well as making sure their water bowl is full. I will always chill with my dog too and play with them when they start getting their energy back. When I hike/ jog with my dogs, it will always be in a safe area and I usually try out new/different trails where I use an extender lead or let them off to explore (but, will obviously do whatever you would feel comfortable with in terms of on/off a lead). I will also adjust where I walk my dogs (or any dog) depending on the weather so, if it is hotter, I will usually walk them near a water source, forest or somewhere with shade. But, if it is cooler, I would more likely go to places like the ridgeway etc… where the sun would be a problem for longer walks. Your dog will most likely get muddy or wet on walks (with the crazy English weather) but, I always use towels to dry/ clean them up
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities – from playful puppies full of energy to gentle seniors who need a slower pace and extra care. I bring a calm, nurturing presence to every interaction, making sure each dog feels safe, seen, and truly cared for. I understand the importance of routine, emotional regulation, and calm environments – especially for dogs who are anxious, reactive, or adjusting to change. I create peaceful, structured days with lots of love, movement, and mindful attention to your dog’s emotional and physical needs. I’m experienced in: Puppy training basics (toilet, crate, and lead) Caring for senior dogs or those with medical needs Supporting nervous or reactive dogs with gentle reassurance Creating enriching routines that include movement, play, rest, and calm Your dog’s wellbeing is my top priority. Whether it’s a fun walk, a cosy overnight stay, or a daily drop-in, you can trust they’ll be loved and looked after! 🐾 I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to offer attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, regular toilet breaks, or just some comforting company, I’m able to fit their needs into my daily routine with ease. My schedule allows me to be present for dogs staying with me overnight or for drop-ins and walks during the day. I plan my day around the pets in my care to ensure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Your dog will never be left for long periods, and you can expect regular updates to give you peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure, relaxed, and well cared for. At my home, I have a small fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. It’s a peaceful, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax, play, or snooze between walks. I live in a quiet safe neighbourhood with plenty of access to green space nearby. I tailor the day to suit your dog’s routine, energy levels, and comfort needs, always ensuring they’re never left alone for long periods. When staying in a pet owner's home, I maintain your dog’s regular routine as closely as possible – including walks, feeding, play, and any special care instructions. I’m respectful of your home and strive to create a stable, familiar atmosphere for your pet while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind, knowing your dog is in kind, capable, and attentive hands.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and since the age of 4, I have always had one or more dogs in the house. I have experience in training my own dogs at home and out on walks. I’m currently at university and also working part time so this would fit perfectly into my spare time and be a great break from my uni work. If you decide you’d like me to stay for a few days then I’d be able to work from home on these days! In my home we have a fenced off garden and a large area for the dog/dogs to run around in. We have lots of walking routes and fields local but I’m also happy to take the dogs to different locations out of the area too!
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.

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.

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.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm.
