“Carey did an amazing job & her calmness around Carlos really helped especially being quite nervous on first meetings. Highly recommend & will definitely be using again.”

“Tristan and Carey were so respectful of our home and were great with our dogs. A very calm couple which meant our nervous dog was comfortable with them both straight away. We had regular updates and came home to 2 very chilled dogs. We all look forward to you staying again. Thank you so much”

“Kate was brilliant, she looked after our boys for a week. We had recently lost our dog Sparky he was 10 and Jasper is nervous anyway but was especially anxious. Kate adapted to his needs 😊 we came home to a clean house and she has even washed the our bed sheets! We would highly recommend and will definitely use Kate again”

“Nigel looked after our dog skye while we were away for the week. He was very diligent around the house and she was suitably tired by the end of the week from the walks and fun they clearly had together. We’d recommend Nigel to others.”


About: I have grown up around animals and have always had dogs and cats at home, so caring for pets is a natural part of my life. While I am new to professional pet sitting, I am confident in feeding, walking and understanding animals’ needs. I am calm, patient and responsible, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while you are away. I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with your pet. I am available on weekdays and weekends and can adapt to your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe and caring environment for every pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walks and any special needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure and well looked after at all times. I have experience living with pets, so I understand their behaviour and needs.

About: I grew up in South Africa surrounded by 12 German Shepherds, so dogs have been a huge part of my life from the early age of 3. I was fortunate enough to train two of my own German Shepherds through to C Class obedience and agility, giving me a strong grounding in training, handling and understanding canine behaviour. I also regularly had the opportunity to handle German Shepherds for other owners in dog shows, taking them into the show ring and helping them perform at their best. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, consistency, confidence and, above all, building a trusting relationship with an animal. My experience isn't limited to dogs. Over the years, I have also cared for neighbours' cats, sometimes looking after them for extended periods. More recently, we helped a friend and neighbour by looking after Skye, a beautiful black Persian cat, providing full-time care for him while his owner was travelling. I've also regularly dropped in on friends' cats to feed, care for and spend time with them while their owners were away on holiday or travelling for work. I understand that cats, just like dogs, have their own personalities, routines and individual needs, and that owners want to know their pets are safe, happy and well cared for when they're away. After moving to the UK in 2003, we didn't have pets for a number of years. That changed when my family entrusted us with Buzby, an older family dog who became a very special part of our lives. We cared for and looked after him for two wonderful years, until he sadly passed away in 2023 at the grand old age of 15. We have recently moved to Tilford, Surrey, and unfortunatley we cannot have animals in the home. I'm keen to make the most of the incredible countryside on our doorstep. I'd love the opportunity to combine my love of walking with my lifelong passion for animals by helping local owners give their dogs the exercise, companionship and care they deserve - and to provide the same dependable care for cats when their owners are away. My experience covers obedience training, agility, dog-show handling, dog walking and caring for both dogs and cats, but most importantly, I genuinely love animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality, needs and quirks, and I treat every animal in my care as if it were my own. For me, pet care isn't simply a service - it's about providing trust, companionship, safety and genuine care, while giving owners complete peace of mind that their beloved pets are in good hands. Shane I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a great deal of flexibility during the day. This means I can work around your pet's routine and am available for morning, lunchtime and afternoon walks, visits and pet care, rather than being restricted to evenings or weekends. Although we don't currently have pets of our own, this gives me the opportunity to be flexible and focus my time and attention on caring for yours. I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of your family, and I am happy to travel locally to you to provide the care and companionship your dog or cat needs. Whether you need a regular weekday dog walk, a lunchtime visit, someone to pop in and feed your cat while you're away, or simply some extra company and attention for your pet during the day, I'm happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. My aim is to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for you, while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, care and affection while you're at work or away.

“Beatrice was wonderful! She took such great care of our 2 dogs- 1 of which has some special needs. She is great with communication and helped ease my anxiety with regular updates and photos.”


About: Hi, I'm an experienced dog owner with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Growing up on a farm surrounded by both working dogs and family pets gave me a deep understanding of dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. As an adult, I've raised four dogs from playful puppies through to their senior years, so I'm comfortable with every stage of a dog's life. I'm also a paramedic, so being calm, responsible, and dependable comes naturally to me. Your dog's safety, wellbeing, and happiness will always be my priority. Although my work schedule means owning a dog full-time isn't practical right now, I'd love to spend my days off caring for yours. I offer good availability around my shifts and will always ensure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I live in a bungalow in Elstead with a large, fully fenced garden, giving dogs plenty of safe outdoor space to play, explore, and relax. Where I am situated offers lots of great walking trails! Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply a cosy place to curl up, I'll treat them as if they were one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I am a paramedic on a shift work pattern so will update my calendar accordingly for booking. Due to the nature of shift work when I am off, I am off for usually four days and would love to spend some more time caring for animals. I usually have my mums dog on my rest days to provide daycare whilst she is at work. I have a fenced garden and great access to beautiful walks in Elstead. I live 2 minute walk away from a recreational ground and often take my family dog there for training and sniffs after walks.
About: I have had a dog since I was 4 years old for about 15 years, so have always been around them and I have helped out with family and friends dogs when needed; walking, feeding, playing etc I can house sit/have dogs at mine on weekends. Perfect for when you are going on holiday! I often have odd days in the week occasionally, which are added 2-3 weeks in advance. I have a fenced garden, the front door, the front garden and back garden are all monitored with a camera. I will play with the dogs or relax with them or take them on walks etc whatever is needed.
“We have used Elin a couple of times now and can’t recommend her enough. Both Elin and her daughter are clearly dog people. Maeby was obviously very well looked after and got lots of exercise and attention. Elin is so great at sending us photo and video updates too. We’ve come back to a spotless house on both occasions, which we really appreciate. Thanks again Elin!”

About: I work Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 3:30pm so I’m available for evening visits during the week, as well as having full availability on weekends. Although due to me working in a school I have 6 weeks off for the holidays therefore I will be available throughout the 6 weeks at any time. I’ll always make sure your cat is fed, comfortable and given plenty of attention while keeping to their usual routine as closely as possible. I’m reliable, organised and committed to providing your cat with the best care while you’re away. Your cat’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they’re cared for in the comfort and security of their own home, keeping doors and windows secure, following your instructions carefully and maintaining their usual routine to help them feel relaxed. I will always ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter tray and plenty of love and attention. You can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in safe, caring and experienced hands.
“Jane was an absolutely outstanding housesitter. We felt completely relaxed leaving our house and dog in her capable care. She is very attentive and friendly and honestly seemed to have the ability to almost talk to our dog and elicit a response! We returned to a pristine home with laundered beds and perfectly watered plants . Best of all one happy dog. Thank you Jane- welcome back anytime .”

“Tasha took on our booking at short notice and was prepared to drive a long distance to accommodate us. She was very positive and flexible with all our needs before and during the stay. She looked after our large energetic dog and our fish during a very hot spell of weather which made things more complicated but she was always very enthusiastic, caring and showed initiative when there was an issue with a fish. Bugsy, our dog, seemed very happy and relaxed with her. She also left the house incredibly clean and tidy. Thank you very much, Tasha!”


“We had an expensive weekend x I fell &cut my head I wasn’t drunk x so we spent sat evening in A&E and stayed at home & sent Brittany home as we thought she wouldn’t want to stay with us there. So It wasn’t as planned & i can’t give full feedback but I assume when she was here all was well. She had a migraine the following morning x which she tells me she suffers with.”

“Emma looked after our dog for 3 days recently and we felt he was in the safest of hands. Emma made sure she knew him and his routine before he stayed with her and then followed our instructions. Bobby had a lovely time at hers and we got plenty of pictures to proof it. We will book again!”

Sarah has been fantastic from start to finish. She came round to meet us, Georgie the cat and see the house. Easy communication before, during and after the house sit. Sarah kindly sent us photos and updates on Georgie, whilst dealing with a challenging heatwave! Georgie is looking forward to spending Christmas with Sarah. 🐾

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Waverley walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Waverley 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. On Rover:

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
