“Vinay did an amazing job with Gromit (who seemed to have a really fun time with him). He was very accommodating and made us feel very at ease. He took great care of our home as well. We couldnt recommend him enough!”
“Anna is not just a great pet sitter, but she is also an amazing and kind person! She kept us updated all day with videos and photos of our baby. Loullie is not just a pet for us, she is like our daughter and it is wonderful to know that we found a person who cares and not just understand that, but also treats her with all love and attention she deserves. We will trust Anna to look after Loullie always we need!”
“David was great! He was very attentive to Chaves’s eating schedule and walks. He truly focused on our dog’s needs, and that made all the difference. He’s a really kind person, and Chaves loves him. We felt completely at ease — not only would we have him again, but he has already looked after Chaves more than once. We definitely recommend him! 🐾”
“Loved all of the video and photo updates, Buddy looked like he had an amazing time and seemed really settled with Jane even though it was his first time with her. Also house was cleaner when we got home than when we had left. Highly recommend”
“Danielle was an amazing pet sitter. Our dog was well-cared for and happy. She provided regular updates, which reassured us while we were away. We would definitely recommend Danielle to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, have 5 at my family house! Reallyt missing them since moving out but sadly can’t have one of my own :( mostly I just want to spend time with cats again! All my cats are outdoor cats so they’ve had some minor and one major injury which gave me a lot of experience with cat care and knowledge! I’m also a certified treat giver and will never move if I cat is sat on me even if the building is on fire 🥰 I work full time hybrid. The only day I have to be in the office is Monday, but I only live 5 minutes away so can come back at lunchtime and for another short break in the day! I will be home majority of the day to keep your furry friend company and give loads of pets! No outdoor area accessible for dogs to free roam.
“Would definitely recommend Susie! She is such a lovely lady who provided me with lots of updates of Simba throughout the day and left me reassured that he was being properly looked after and also having the best time with her”
About: I am a responsible and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

I make sure to keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so they feel reassured while they are away. I am patient, reliable, and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I live near parks, so dogs get regular outdoor exercise and Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around walks, visits, and boarding needs. I am available throughout the week and can provide regular care, including morning, afternoon, and evening routines. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets naturally becomes part of my daily life.

About: I've never had my own dog however I lived with my husband dog for a long time, loved and care for him ❤️ sadly he passed away 2 years ago. He was a Yorkshire Terrier very playful 😄 I'm working in a care sector and I am quite flexible, I can care for animal 4 days in 1 week and 3 in another week as my hours are unchanged every week. I can do whole day or just couple of house depending of the needs. I have a 2 bedroom flat, smoke free in the town center very close to the park. I love nature so your animals will be walked around the park as many times as needed and will rest in a clean environment around lovely hosts
About: With several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality and unique needs. From energetic puppies who need structured play and basic training, to senior pets who require gentle care and medication support, I provide personalized attention and a calm, loving environment. What sets me apart is my patience, intuition, and ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in crate routines, administering oral medications, and recognizing early signs of stress or discomfort in pets. I treat every animal like family—because they are. Im currently working full time from 9-5:00pm. I am available after that timing and weekends too. However I can be very flexible because I can work from home and I can take my laptop everywhere if you need an urgent and saver pet sitter. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and creating a calm, familiar environment. I follow your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to minimize stress while you’re away. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being, updating you regularly with messages, photos, and videos for peace of mind. I always treat your home with the utmost respect—cleaning up after myself and your pet, following any house rules, and ensuring everything is left just as I found it. I double-check doors, gates, and litter/waste areas to maintain a safe space, and I’m comfortable administering medications or managing special care routines if needed. You can trust that I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention to detail, and lots of affection.
About: I’m a Veterinery Nurse offering professional, experienced and loving pet care you can trust. Whether your pet needs medication, special monitoring, or just company and cuddles, you can feel confident they’re in capable, caring hands. I pride myself on providing safe, attentive care with clear communication, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your animals are being looked after by a trained professional while your away. From energetic pups to older pets needing a gentler touch, I tailor every visit to their needs. I can provide care for cats, dogs, smaller furies and reptiles in the comfort of their own home. I’m currently working full time as a Veterinary Nurse three days a week. I can provide care any day of the week around my working hours. I believe providing pet care in the comfort of your pets own home allows minimal change in your pets routine, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.

“Nikhita was absolutely brilliant with our boy, this was the first time I had used Rover and the first time leaving him with someone new, and I didn’t retreat it. Great communication throughout and house left as she found it. Thank you! Have rebooked Nikhita services!”
“Absolutely brilliant dogsitter/housesitter, can't thank her enough for the care and attention she gave to everything as well as daily updates, photos and videos showing how happy my boy was, lots of walks, lots of play and even some training too! She left my house spotless, even stripped the beds washed and dried them all before we came back. Then to top it off she left a beautiful bunch of flowers for us to come home to. I would 100% recommend and would definitely have her back anytime!”

Watford pet owners share their Rover experiences
Nina has been amazing with our dog. She looked after him for one week while we were on holiday and he had the best time. It was the first time he didn’t feel depressed and ate from day one (he usually goes on hunger strikes when we leave). She kept us updated every day, sent us pictures and videos of him and it was very easy to communicate. Nina went above beyond to look after him and we are extremely happy that we found her. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.
Anna and Josh were great with our two senior dogs - who can be a handful. They kept us updated with regular messages and pictures. The whole process was very professional and we could just relax and enjoy our holiday. Our house was well kept and clean on our return. We highly recommend them!
Great housesitting from Charlotte. We left our 4months old puppy for the first time with someone else and Charlotte helped us not to feel worried and confident we left our puppy in good hands. Everything went perfectly. Charlotte also kindly privided feedback and gave advice on food and training.
We booked Jodie in for an initial meeting with our pets and we were very happy witth her. She was punctual, easy to work with and most importantly, of course, she was great with the animals. Our nervous dog Ted felt at ease with her and accepted scritches and treats, so we will definitely be booking Jodie again.
Alexandra was amazing in looking after our two dogs and our house. We got daily updates from her and it was obvious she was caring for them well. When we got back the house was clean and tidy and the dogs were in great shape. Highly recommend her services and will be using her again. Thank you Alexandra!
