Charlotte-Rose was absolutely amazing with my dog Daisy. She looked after her over Christmas and went above and beyond. She kept me updated with detailed reports and photos after every visit, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly thoughtful and caring —Daisy clearly loved her and felt safe and relaxed in her care 🤍 I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind and reliable pet sitter 🐾✨

Glenda looked after my cat while I was away and did a fantastic job. She kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my cat was well cared for and happy. I would definitely recommend Glenda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

About: Hi! I’m Eva! I have plenty of experience with animals. I’ve always grown up around animals and had a love for them, I used to do horse riding, and always owned pets from hamsters to dogs. I’ve been around all different animals and breeds which gave me extensive knowledge in temperaments, breeds, exercise needs, different foods etc. I adore animals and have my own cat called Marble and dog called Rosie who are my world. Having that passion and love for animals is a great attribute and I certainly have that. I can administer oral medications and injected medications too. I work 2.15pm till 6.45pm Monday to Friday and 10am-1pm every other saturday so it works perfectly as I can do visits between 9am and 1pm and then do an evening visit after work. On weekends I can do longer visits as well if you need your dog looking after for a few hours for example. In all my visits I can do dog walking too where necessary. I look after pets in YOUR homes, So I would be extremely careful with keys, windows and doors. My cat is an indoor cat so I am very strict about windows being open and doors when I’m not there to ensure they don’t escape. I am very trustworthy and follow your instructions you give me, it is your home and I am here to respect that :)

This was the very first time I've ever used a pet sitting service and I was a little bit nervous about trusting a stranger into my home to look after my pet, but I couldn't have asked for a nicer and more considerate person who genuinely loves animals than Kaitlin. There was updates and photos after each visit which gave us constant reassurance and comfort knowing Napoleon was in safe hands. Top marks. Very reliable and trusting. Thank you so much x

About: Hi, I’m a dad to an amazing three-year-old, and caring for others, whether they’re children or animals, has always been a huge part of who I am.
Animals have been part of my life for many years, and I genuinely understand that pets aren’t “just animals” they’re family. At home, we share our lives with our dog, Rafa, and our two cats, Gini and Bobby, who are very much part of the family. Looking after them every day has given me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding routines, exercise, playtime, grooming, and understanding their different personalities and behaviours. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I already have experience caring for my own pets, including my dog and two cats, so feeding, exercise, playtime, and providing attention are part of my everyday routine. I’m organised and reliable, and I plan my week around making sure pets receive the care, consistency, and companionship they need. Whether it’s walks, home visits, feeding routines, or simply spending time with them, I enjoy making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. For me, pet care isn’t just a task — it’s about building trust and treating every animal like a valued member of the family. I care for every pet by taking the time to understand their individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether I’m visiting a pet in their own home or caring for them during walks, I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and comfortable experience. I will follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs (if required), and any specific preferences. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I focus on keeping things familiar while providing plenty of attention, play, and affection. Having cared for my own dog and two cats for many years, I understand how important trust is when someone else is looking after your pets. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I took the main care role for the family dog from my late teens and helped out when needed up until the end. Love to look after any dog in need of love and attention. I have a fairly flexible work schedule with part time study. I will have my 7 year old son with me, he is a calm quiet loving little boy, I will have to have him with me on house sits so all dogs must be child friendly. We'll probably get on better with your dog than you, nothing personal we're just both on the spectrum. There's a communal garden outside my block of flats where dogs are welcome on lead. I have a long line to allow a dog some space whilst maintaining safety. There's plenty of field and park spaces nearby for walks and running around.

It was my first time getting a sitter and Catherine was so professional with everything that she put me on ease while I was on holiday. I have a very sensitive needy cat and she was the perfect person to take on the responsibility. She kept me updated throughout her visits and I was able to enjoy my holiday in peace

About: I recently lost my 16 year old yorkie Daisy who was with us from a puppy. She was part of our family and we miss her terribly. Our home is too quiet now and I would love to take care ofyour fur baby if you would let me. We live in a bungalow with a secure fenced garden. We have no other pets or children around so your pet would be our priority whilst with us. We don't smoke and are both 63 years old. We have no boundaries in our home and your pets are allowed anywhere and on sofa or bed. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you. X I do not work as I'm a carer for my husband at home so I have plenty of spare time and love to give to your furbaby. Your pet would be well looked after at your home and I would follow any specific instructions that you give to me. I am very caring and trustworthy.

About: I've had dogs my whole life and believe dogs are not pets but family members. Your dog will be in the safest of hands and will be spoiled rotten, whilst you're away. My dog goes to doggy day care, when I go on holiday so I understand how people feel when leaving their family member behind (this isn't easy to a lot of people). I have my own dog and i've looked after family members, since the age of 21 (when they go on holiday). I've had and looked after a variety of dogs from Cockapoo to Staffy's to Grey Hounds. Currently have a 10 year old Cockapoo, that doesn't tend to have an interest in other dogs. Your dog will be walked, allowed on the furniture and beds and they won't be left on their own. I can bath them (at an additional cost) if required. They can also sleep on the bed or you can provide a crate, if this follows their usual sleeping arrangement. Currently work Monday to Friday so my availability is for weekend stays only. During the weekends, I will always be in unless i've notified you of anything different in advance. I have a fenced garden and live a 2/3 minute walk to a large park. I'll be in all weekend so no pets will be left alone. Your family member can sleep on the furniture or our bed. You can provide a crate for them to sleep, if this is the usual arrangement for your dog. Have access to the whole house. If I wanted to take your pet anywhere, I will always request this with yourself first.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have always enjoyed being around them. I have experience with large, high energy dogs and know they need patience, consistency, and plenty of exercise. I’m currently available full time, so I have plenty of flexibility. I’ve looked after dogs for family and friends for years, and now I’m hoping to build up my client base through Rover. Whether it’s walks, drop ins or staying in your home, I’ll make sure your dog is well looked after. I currently own a Rottweiler and two Akitas, so caring for dogs is a part of my everyday life. Due to being unexpectedly unemployed, I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extended stays, I’ll make sure your pet receives the exercise, companionship, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have hands-on experience with crate training, leash manners, long-line walking, and confidently handling large, strong breeds. I always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel secure and comfortable. Every dog will be treated as if they were one of my own. I believe in maintaining a clean, safe environment and providing regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Jarrad was absolutely great with our dog Nala, they met and she took to him immediately, he was friendly and professional, asking questions about what she needed and where to find things if I’d forgotten to say. Then he updated us on his visit and shared photos showing what a happy visit Nala had. When we got home she had clearly been relaxed and easy since his visit too, which was fantastic. 100% recommend.

About: My family and I have always had dogs! Family and friends have relied on me to look after their precious pooches numerous times. Our family home isn’t the same since losing our precious boy of 15years! We want to share our home and love of dogs with others. We live in a lovely area with lots of lovely walks and have a secure garden. I understand the anxieties you feel on leaving your precious fur baby but can guarantee your dog will be looked after as if he/she is our own. We will keep up with any routine your dog is used to and keep you updated with pictures and communication to reassure and give you peace of mind to ease any anxieties you may be feeling! We would advise you arrange a meet up at our home to ensure you feel comfortable and confident about leaving your dog in our care and more importantly to get your doggies approval! Looking forward to meeting you and your pawfect pooch for lots of love and cuddles!! I work part time hours over 3 1/2 days a week, 5 minutes away from our home. My husband Jason works from home. Our daughter Ella is a university student who is also at home. We are at home over the weekend. We have a secure garden, lots of lovely walks nearby. We will strive to keep your dog in any routine they are used to! Have previously administered animal medication. If your dog is used to being crated that’s fine, but equally happy to share the sofa and bed if that’s what they’re happy with. We aim to provide a home from home environment for your fur baby!

About: I help owners who struggle to enjoy walks with their dogs due to pulling, reactivity, overexcitement, nervousness, or a lack of focus. At Calm Leads, I don’t just walk dogs—I provide structured, purposeful walks designed to create calmer, more enjoyable experiences for both dogs and their owners. My approach focuses on: ✅ Calm handling ✅ Structure and consistency ✅ Building confidence ✅ Understanding canine behaviour ✅ Creating real-world progress Whether your dog is reactive to other dogs, easily overstimulated, nervous in public spaces or simply needs clear guidance, every walk is tailored to their individual needs. Calm Leads currently operates on a limited-availability basis, with specialist walking sessions available throughout weekends. This approach allows me to focus on delivering a highly personalised service, particularly for reactive, nervous or high-energy dogs that benefit from additional structure and attention. Future expansion plans will introduce weekday services while preserving the calm, professional and client-focused standards that define the Calm Leads experience. What Makes Calm Leads Different? 🐾 Specialist Reactive Dog Walks 🐾 Solo & Small Group Walks 🐾 Structured Walking Sessions 🐾 Behaviour-Focused Approach 🐾 Detailed Walk Feedback 🐾 Professional Equipment & Safety Standards 🐾 Calm, Reliable Handling My goal isn’t simply to tire your dog out—it’s to help them become more confident, focused and successful in the environments they find challenging.

Tracey did two 'drop in visits' for me today she came in to see Jess and Minnie while we went out for the day for my husbands birthday ..... she came yesterday and did a 'meet and greet' after i had been let down at the last minuite by another dog sitter. Tracey is a lovely lady very friendly and obviously loves animals ..... our cat Minnie is a funny soul and Jess is very vocal and 'talks' to you ....but she said she would love to look after them so she came in today - had fusses off Minnie so she definately 'passed' 🐈‍⬛.... and Jess was happy to sunbathe on her bed with Tracey in the garden and have some fuss and treats too with not too much of ' a story ' 🐶🥰...... I will certainly be booking Tracey again and would highly recommended her - she is punctual, caring, sends photos/video updates just what you need when you are not with your furbabies 🥰.....excellent 5* service

Laura looked after my rescue cat whilst I was on holiday for 5 nights, and did an amazing job keeping him company, well fed and entertained! I felt very reassured during my holiday that Heathcliff was in good hands, and the drop in photos from Laura's visits allowed me to see he was happy and comfortable. I asked Laura to visit twice a day and she did so without failure, on time every time. Laura is a lovely person and you can tell she really cares about the pets in her care. I'll definitely be booking again x

We were really pleased with Jayne. She gave us daily updates which were detailed updates and gave us daily pictures of our cat while we were on holiday, which we really appreciated. While we were away we asked Jayne if she could get the cooling mat in and out of the fridge for our cat as we were concerned about the hot weather at home and Jayne did this for us no problem - nothing seemed too much trouble! What a lovely lady Jayne is - would highly recommend :)

Highly recommend - Jarrad is fantastic! You can really tell he loves what he does. He has looked after Hugo for the last two weeks and has previously in the year. Knowing we have someone who our 11 month Doberman adores and is cared for as if it’s his own.

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 Walsall 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.

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 Walsall 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. 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.

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.
