About: I have been an experienced volunteer dog walker with The Cinnamon Trust for nearly 15 years and during that time have had long-term commitments with five local dogs and their owners, walking most weekends and some evenings. I also regularly dog-sit for my family and friends with a variety of different breeds and ages, including puppies. I also currently have two rescue cats and have experience in administering medication and grooming long hair. Over the years I have had many cats, including kittens and the most I have looked after at one time is three. I regularly look after our neighbour's house while they are away. I am also a homeowner so would take the responsibility of looking after someone else's home very seriously, including jobs that need doing like watering plants, taking out the bins and tidying up after myself. I don't have any children so have limited regular weekend commitments and can be flexible during the week as I work from home a few days a week. I have my own car. I would want your pet(s) to feel as happy and comfortable as possible while I'm with them so would only accept a booking if I could ensure that I can keep to their routine and carry out the owner's wishes fully. I cannot have pets at my home as my two cats would not take kindly to any visitors but am happy to stay over in a pet owner's home, carry out drop-ins and do as many dog walks as needed in terms of frequency and length - I know the local area very well and really enjoy getting out in nature with a four-legged friend!
About: I live in Witley with my beautiful greyhound. I can provide both regular and ad hoc walks and drop ins for dogs and cats. I have experience of looking after and walking elderly dogs. I have cat care experience including of elderly cats (my lovely moggie lived to age 20). I am experienced with nervous animals. I don’t charge extra for peak times - my pricing is the same all year round so my fee is the same whenever you book me. I’m pet first aid trained and I have pet sitter insurance (£2,000,000 Public Liability) for your peace of mind (certificates available on request). I work flexibly from home for a national charity and am trustworthy and reliable. I began pet sitting in 2025 to enjoy time with more animals and love it! I also enjoy pet care as it gets me out of the house and gives me a bit of variety in my day. It balances very well with my other commitments and has brought me a lot of happiness as I get such lovely welcomes from the regular dogs and *cats I visit. *Cat drop ins are carried out between the hours of 5-8pm rather than a fixed time (unless your cat requires medication at a specific time) I will make sure that I gain your pets trust and understand what they enjoy and need. I will ensure that your pet is fed, toileted and left calm and happy after my visit. I will carry out your exact instructions and provide photos as I understand how nerve racking leaving pets behind can be.
About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals. I’m 18 years old and have just completed my A-levels and am available for pet sitting over the next year before I go to university. I’ve grown up in a home full of dogs, cats and other pets. Over the years, my family has regularly looked after pets for friends, neighbours and relatives, giving me experience with a wide range of animals and personalities. From a young age, I was trusted to take shared responsibility for the dogs staying with us, including feeding, walking, exercising, playing with them and making sure they felt safe and settled while their owners were away. I have experience caring for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to gentle senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable looking after breeds of all sizes, from Dachshunds to Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers. I also have experience caring for guinea pigs, hamsters and fish, so I’m happy to look after smaller pets too if they are part of your family. I enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual and making sure they feel relaxed, happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a much-loved family member, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same kindness, patience and attention that I would my own. Having just completed my A-levels, I have plenty of availability to provide reliable pet care before I go to university next year. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work with owners to find times that suit their routine, whether that’s regular visits, occasional check-ins, weekends or holidays. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs while fitting around any other commitments I may have. I understand that pets are happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment and keep to their usual routine. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (where appropriate), and any other routines that help your pet feel safe and comfortable. I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, ensuring everything is left clean, tidy and secure. I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, companionship and care during every visit, and I'm happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they're happy and well looked after while you're away.
About: We have cared for our rescue dog for 12 years now and have cared for a variety of farm animals on the farm. We have looked after a range of breeds and individual care needs. We enjoy two long walks a day with one longer walk on Hankley Common opposite the farm. We are often working outside on the farm and all enjoy being outside as much as possible with the comforts of the farmhouse together. Stays at the farm are full of fun in our fields and adjoining woodland. With two dogs of our own we understand the importance of a home setting with the unique freedom we can offer of ten acres of fields and twelve acres of woodland to explore together.
“Louise is an absolute gem. She looked after our house rabbit Perry and was so flexible when our travel plans kept changing. She came for a intro prior to booking so I felt at ease. Louise shared some fab photos and we returned home to a very happy healthy boy. Would have her back in a heartbeat!”
“I was very happy to find Astrid to look after Waffle and Pumpkin during our long weekend holiday. She always sent me photos how they enjoy their stay, asked questions when necessary and it looks like that cats didn’t miss us much as they looked sleepy and relaxed when we came back. Thank you. I would definitely invite Astrid again when we are away.”
About: I have been walking dogs for neighbours and friends for 10 years. My family also fosters dogs, so I have a wide range of experience with different ages and breads. While I am at uni I would love to help with dog walking in the local area and to be able to enjoy animals while away from home. I have a flexible schedule and can help most days and most times to fit around your own schedule. Any questions please ask! I am available almost everyday except for wednesday afternoons as I am currently in the uni exam period. I am happy to work around any commitments i may have to provide flexible dog walking when needed. I do not offer dog sitting as I am in student accommodation that doesn’t allow it. For dog walking I will keep dogs on leads wherever possible to avoid potential conflict, unless dogs are very well trained and I know they will come back when I call or on command. I keep emergency treats on hand as well and will not hesitate to call should anything arise that I can’t handle alone.
About: My name's Louisa and I adore animals. I've grown up with dogs all my life and dogs have a special place in heart. Just a cuddle with one could make anyone's day. I have three friendly dogs myself, an 18 year old Labrador, a bernese cross aussie mix and a mixed breed rescue that I couldn't live without. I've looked after and cared for dogs all of my life and it's my biggest passion. I couldn't imagine a life not caring for dogs. No matter the size of the dog or age, I'm beyond happy to help look after them for you and I'll walk them no matter the weather. I hope I'm the carer for you. I currently work part time jobs and so have flexibility throughout the week days and weekend. I am available early mornings and late evenings/night time if needed also. I am sure to ask for any requirements the owner or pet may need. I have looked after a multitude of animals, my own and others who require leash only walks, avoiding other animals, medication needs and more. I maintain a clean environment and provide the same love and care no matter the animal.
About: On maternity leave so have all the time to walk dogs and do home visits where needed. Happy to look after dogs and cats. May also take my baby on the walk too if dog likes babies. I'm currently on Maternity leave so have lots of time on my hands as my husband works from home. I go out on daily walks and sometimes even twice a day Have looked after many friends dogs and cats so happy to come and do this in your home too We have no pets at home and have a shared garden.
About: I have owned dogs for the past ten years and cared for animals more generally since I was eight years old. As I work from home full-time I tend to have flexible availability and am able to cater to the needs of dogs that need a bit more attention, love and care. I am experienced with both puppies and senior dogs (my dog is a senior gal herself!) and love to spend time with the dogs outside— whether that be playing or relaxing in the fully-fenced garden or going on lovely walks in the Surrey Hills! I am very experienced with larger dogs but love hanging out with smaller doggos too! I work from home full-time so will have plenty of time to love on your pups! I take the dogs on walks 2-3 times a day (depending on your dog’s preferences). I have a fully fenced yard for your dogs to play in and my own 9 year old female Bernese Mountain Dog, Gwen, will be very happy to keep your dog company! She’s a very friendly and gentle girl who has been around puppies, elderly dogs, and baby and elderly humans tons too!
“We were very happy with Megan's drop ins visits to look after our cat. She is very reliable and responsible, easy to communicate with. It has been a pleasure dealing with her. She is friendly and caring. We appreciated her daily updates and photos of Casper. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a pet-loving home taught me early on how to care for a wide range of animals with patience, love, and attention to detail. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with both cats and dogs - including Tabbies, Maine Coons, Labradors, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and Spaniels - giving me a strong foundation in understanding different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience and genuine care to every animal I look after. I know how important your pets are to you - because mine mean the world to me too! I first joined Rover during a career break, but house sitting and drop-in visits / walks have always been a part of my life alongside my professional career in financial services. I’ve recently returned to the industry in a fully remote role, which gives me the flexibility to always be present for the care of your pets. When caring for animals in someone else’s home, I understand the deep level of trust that’s involved - not just with your pet, but with your personal space too. I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure a calm, secure, and familiar environment for your pet to feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority. From sticking to their usual routines to providing plenty of love, play, and attention, I work to create an stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’m reliable, discreet, and fully committed to maintaining a safe, clean, and caring atmosphere - just as I would in my own home.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was born and currently have 3 Vizslas and am a KC approved breeder too, so am more than comfortable with puppies too. I have a few small businesses that I run from home & home educate my teenage son so I have time to fit in pet care with my routine I'm more than happy to pop in and feed /play etc with your pet while you're away or out, take it for a walk if necessary (depending on the type of pet!). I'm comfortable with most pets and if I were to agree to pet sit during the day or overnight at my own home, I have a large fenced garden with plenty of space and my pets to keep yours company
“Happy to recommend Romilly to other dog owners. I have a big ridgeback 10month puppy. She was really good with him, played with him and took him for walks and fed him as per my instructions each visit. Professional, punctual, reliable and most importantly my dog was happy to see her each time.”
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Waverley is £13
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Waverley
Lauren took such great care of Boris while we were away. He was upset at being left for so long, but Lauren was wonderfully patient with him. She kept me updated daily with photos and messages, and she always cleaned up after him when he sprayed, even using calming spray to help him feel more comfortable. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was there for him. I’m so grateful for her care and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter.

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.

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!

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.
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.
