“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!”
“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 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.

About: My sheer love and compassion for animals. My desire to improve their daily life with the added benefit of them improving mine! I have grown up on a dairy farm so am comfortable with the whole range of animals, big or small! Training my own dog in COVID and working in a kennels has made me appreciate the signs and behaviours of dogs and cats. My veterinary background means I have sufficient skills to give your pets the most enjoyable and enriching experience possible. I have a very flexible timetable, where i am free at various times during the working day but also every evening. I am open to walking your pets from the hours of 7 am to 9pm Being a Vet student means animal welfare and care is at the forefront of my mind in every situation.

“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.”
“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.”
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: 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.
“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! ”
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 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: We are a dog loving family and I have over 4 years of dog caring experience. We have a lovely Cockapoo and he is super friendly with all dogs, it would be great if he can make friends with your dog. I work from home so I have enough time to walk dogs and play with them. I live in Abingdon, there are various parks nearby I live in a house with a lovely garden. Any dog I look after is more than welcome on our couch or bedroom as I would clean their paws after walk :)
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.
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!

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.

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.
