Our dog settled with her pretty quick which we were all suprised with! Lucie kept me up to date with pictures etc, she put my mind at ease when we was away would 100% recommend lucie! Thankyou ?”

“Caitlin is a fabulous dog sitter! I was very nervous about leaving Stan as it was the longest we’ve been away without him, and he isn’t the easiest dog. Caitlin put my mind at ease, has looked after Stan beautifully and sends regular updates of all the fun they’re having. Caitlin is very responsible and I really trust her with Stan. Thanks so much for all of your help x”


“Millie looked after our pets really well whilst we were away. It was the first time we’d left them with anyone other than family and she was amazing even with our youngest who can try to wrap you round his little paw at times. They obviously adored her and she treated them as though they were her own. She provided daily feedback and pictures which was lovely to see. Would definitely use again in the future.”


“Kieran was great with our old boy Tinker, and was a very considerate house guest. Being new to Rover we were a little worried having someone we didn’t know in the house but he gave us plenty of pupdates, left the house clean and tidy with great communication. We would be happy to use Kieran again as Tinks was very happy when we got home. Thank you 🙏🏻”

About: My name is Chi, and I’m excited to meet your furbabies! As a cat owner of two, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ve been a cat sitter in Wellingborough for three years, with great feedback from pet owners. I communicate clearly and regularly, sharing updates and photos so you have peace of mind. My home visits usually last around one hour, allowing time for feeding, cleaning, play, and companionship. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority, and I carefully follow all instructions and routines. I also offer one-hour dog walks, including playtime in the park. If you need a reliable and caring sitter, I’d be happy to help! I'm currently working full time, so I'm available for pet sitting during the weekend at the moment. For weekdays, please contact me after working hours (5pm). I can walk your dogs, feed your cats, clean litter box and give them medication if needed. I can also brush your dogs or cats.

“First time leaving our 11 year old dog, Andrew, with anyone other than family. Tracey and her daughter Maya were absolutely fantastic. Immediately they entered the house they made a big fuss of Andrew and he warmed to them instantly. We had lots of reassuring messages and pictures of him while we were away and on return he was happy and had obviously had wonderful care. The house was absolutely spotless as well. I cannot thank Tracey and Maya enough and would definitely recommend them. We have already booked them in for 2 more visits. Absolute 5 ⭐️’s for them.”

About: Throughout my life, I have always had pets, especially cats. I have cared for one, two or even three cats at a time. I have also looked after friends’ cats and dogs, including a Doberman and three Boston Terriers. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to provide them with care, attention, and companionship. I can have pets over night, every night and on my days off, mostly Thursday and Sunday, on the days off I have lots of time to spend with little furry friends 🧡 I have secured balcony there cats can enjoy sunshine and watching birds, I love cuddling them and play with them. I love cats and have their trust
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I spent six months volunteering at a dog rescue centre in Barbados, where I helped care for rescue dogs of different ages, sizes and backgrounds. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, general care and, of course, giving them plenty of love and attention. At home, my mum and I have two dogs of our own, including a rescue dog we brought home from Barbados, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve also regularly dog sat for friends and family, as well as caring for cats while family members have been away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is with someone you can trust, and I’ll always treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work a mixture of locally and from home, so my routine varies depending on the day. On my local working days, pets will be cared for in the morning before I leave, including feeding, toilet breaks and a walk where needed. As I work locally, I’m able to come home during the day, so dogs would need to be comfortable being left for up to around 4 hours at a time. I’m then home from around 5:30pm for the evening, with plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles and attention. On my work-from-home days, I’ll be home all day with the pets, so they’ll have plenty of company and attention throughout the day, as well as their usual walks, feeding and toilet breaks. At weekends, I’m fully available to spend my time with the animals in my care and will always do my best to keep to their normal routine. 🐾 I’ll always look after your pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to the routine they’re used to. I’m happy to follow whatever routine you normally have, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, toilet breaks or just lots of cuddles and attention! I know every pet is different, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and what they like. I’m also more than happy to send photos and little updates while you’re away, so you know they’re happy, settled and being well looked after.
About: I’m Hollie, a qualified Level 3 dog groomer with 4 years of hands-on experience caring for and working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m passionate about making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved and settled. Through my grooming work, I’ve gained experience handling nervous, elderly, energetic and more sensitive dogs, as well as understanding their individual needs and behaviours. I’m confident with everything from walks and playtime to feeding routines, administering basic care and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow your usual routine and take the time to get to know what makes your dog happy and comfortable. Your dog’s wellbeing is my priority, and I’ll treat them as I would my own — with plenty of love, patience, exercise, cuddles and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re happy and being well cared for. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, some company while you’re out, or a little extra care and attention, I’d love to help! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m an active person and enjoy spending plenty of time outdoors, so walks, playtime and keeping dogs entertained are something I genuinely enjoy. As a qualified dog groomer, I already spend a lot of my time around dogs and am very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and needs. I understand the importance of keeping to their usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I’m able to build pet care around my schedule and can offer flexible availability depending on the type of care your dog needs. Whether that’s a morning or evening walk, daytime visits, or looking after your dog for longer periods, I’m happy to work with their routine to make sure they feel happy, settled and well cared for. When your dog is with me, they’ll have plenty of love, attention, exercise and cuddles — and I’ll keep you updated so you know they’re having a lovely time! 🐾❤️ I always make sure pets are cared for according to their individual needs and their usual routine. Before looking after a pet, I’ll take the time to understand their feeding schedule, exercise requirements, personality, likes and dislikes, and any important care instructions. In a client’s home, I’ll keep their routine as normal as possible, making sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and companionship. I’ll also respect their home and leave everything clean and tidy. As a qualified Level 3 dog groomer, I’m confident handling dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments, including nervous and elderly dogs. I’m patient and attentive and always prioritise their safety and wellbeing. I’ll provide regular updates and photos while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, comfortable and being well looked after. Most importantly, I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own — with lots of care, patience, affection and cuddles! 🐾❤️

“Joanne looked after our young dog really well. She was attentive to Jodie’s need not to be left. They clearly had fun together and we came home to a healthy, happy dog. She looked after our house with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. Joanne kept us well informed about both Jodie and other things going on. We would here no hesitation in using her again or recommending her”


“What a lovely person Charlotte is. Our dog Archie had a marvellous time, and we are so pleased that he was able to be looked after in his own home. Charlotte kept everything clean and tidy, will definitely be asking her to stay again.”

“Paige just took care of our French Bulldog, Bruce, for 5 days and nights - in our home. We couldn’t recommend anyone more highly! Bruce is very hard work, he has a disability and very heightened anxiety. We have never left him with anyone that isn’t a family member since we re-homed him 5 years ago, due to his complex nature and the fact that he can be territorial in the home. Paige was so incredibly kind and patient. She took the time to come and meet him twice, without any hesitation and asked for absolutely nothing in return for her time and for driving a good 20 min drive each way on both occasions. She spent a significant time with us and him beforehand and was keen to understand all and everything she could do to make him most comfortable. Paige has just come to the end of taking care of him and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. We had detailed updates, photos and videos every single day (she did state that she was happy to do what we preferred so if you are good with less updates, that is fine with her - but we loved having multiple updates)! They detailed his eating, toileting, sleeping, walks and everything in between. She tailored her approach as he is disabled, not being at all bothered that we have to take a buggy on walks or that he cannot walk far, on one of her visits to meet him I explained that if I get the time on a walk, he actually loves to sit and people watch, low and behold, that was included in every walk - which I know he would’ve loved 🥹 She slept downstairs on the sofa with him on the first night to allow him to become fully comfortable with her being there, if that doesn’t say everything, I am not sure what does! As he lacks control of his bladder and bowels, she took care of replacing mats, washing bedding and mats every day, showering him, cleaning up his buggy - above and beyond what most would be willing to do! If you are looking for someone that will: - tailor their approach to your pets needs - respect the pet’s boundaries - be patient and understanding - highly communicative and happy to tailor the comms to your preferences - someone that will truly take the time to understand your pet - someone that takes extra care with your pet and their needs - someone that will not only respect your home but goes above and beyond to care of it (without any expectation, Paige put out the bins, cleaned and vacuumed the carpets, did numerous loads of washing, took in deliveries, cleaned kitchen sides, mopped floors, stripped bed linen off and so much more) Then Paige is your person. This was a whim, we genuinely thought that we’d struggle to find anyone that would take care of Bruce due to his complex needs and his nature. He is very hard to get to know, as he doesn’t trust people he doesn’t know at all. When I received a photo from Paige with his head laying on her lap and soft eyes looking up at her, and one of her scratching his belly, I knew that she’d put in an immense amount of effort with him. He never does either of those things with someone he doesn’t know very well and trust. Paige has become someone that we can trust and rely upon, and we are so incredibly grateful for all that she did, not only for Bruce, but to give us peace of mind too! Just to add, my Mum was the back up carer for this period, Paige even sent her updates too! The most amazing pet sitter that we will shout from the rooftops to recommend ❤️”

About: Hello, my name is Luke. Thank you for your interest and wanting to find out more about me. Since I was a kid I've been brought up with pets and cared for them, e.g. ensured fresh food and water, walked them, kept their personal hygiene by brushing their hair and bathing ... - anything that the animals needs to be happy and well looked after. At the age of 16 I took my passion for animals further and started four years of animal management at College. I have gained more valuable experience with looking after all sort of animals, including dogs and making them feel comfortable around me. At the same time I started looking after my familys and friends dogs - just for a walk or for longer periods, for example holidays. Despite having my own daily schedule, the animal always gets 100% attention and all instructions by the owner are followed. I love all dog sizes and their different personalities ❤️ It is important to me to meet the dog and owner beforehand, take notes and provide regular updates. I am currently seeking a change of career into animal care and have a flexible working schedule to fit around any requirements. Pet care would also boost my fitness and mental well-being. I am sharing a two bed house with my partner. There is with a fenced garden at the rear, facing a big open field. There is plenty of space in the house for the dog to either socialise or have some quiet time.
“Phoebe was absolutely fantastic! She looked after my puppy Charlotte 3 days in a row while I was sitting exams. She was extremely flexible and took the booking last minute as well as changing times here and there. Above all she was great with my pup Charlotte. She fed her, played with her and kept me updated with pics and videos. Charlotte is normally a nervous pup and has some separation anxiety but she was always really eager to go with Phoebe and ran straight up to her excited so I know she was always treated well :). I would 100% recommend Phoebe as your fist choice if you want a happy pooch.”


“Sophie was just wonderful with our dog Jasmine. Jasmine seemed really happy and relaxed before we left and Sophie left the house all nice and cosy and tidy for us when we got back in the evening. She even put the kettle on for us! Thanks so much Sophie”

About: I have a genuine passion for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have my own pets, including dogs and cats, which has given me a great understanding of their different personalities, needs, and behaviours. I hold a Level 3 diploma in Animal management with Distinction* grades, as well as qualifications in pet sitting, dog walking and dog grooming. I have also worked in both a cattery and kennels, giving me valuable experience caring for a variety of cats and dogs and understanding their individual routines and requirements. I already work with pets and regularly gain practical experience, while continuing to develop my dog grooming skills. I am caring, reliable, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I currently work part-time at Pets at home, although i often work more than my contracted hours depending on the needs of my work place. Because of this, i will fit pet sitting, dog walking and drop in visits around my work schedule and my days off. I always want to make sure i can give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve, so i will be honest and upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. If you are looking for someone who can be with your pet 24/7, I may not always be the right person, depending on my working days and hours. However, I will always do my best to work with you and create a schedule that suits both you and your pet. When caring for pets in their home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take time to understand their usual feeding, walking, toileting, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines, and make sure these are followed as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I also make sure their home is left clean and secure, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: have experience caring for small dogs and have also cared for a Golden Retriever. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, especially taking them for walks. When caring for dogs, I follow the owner’s routine closely to ensure their comfort and happiness. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, and I make sure they’re safe and well looked after while their owners are away. I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s personality and needs to provide the best care possible. I do pet sitting full time, so I’m able to focus on caring for animals throughout the day. I also sell digital art, which I fit in around my pet sitting schedule. This way, I can give all the pets plenty of attention while still working on my art. I care for pets by visiting them in their own home, so they can stay relaxed and comfortable in a familiar space. Before we get started, I like to have a friendly meet and greet with both the pet and owner to build trust, learn about their routine, and exchange keys. During visits, I stick closely to their routine , feeding, topping up fresh water, giving treats, cleaning litter trays or any messes, and most importantly, showering them with lots of love and attention. I also send regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away.

Ngoc was absolutely wonderful with Bear and truly spoiled him over the last two weeks. She handled him so well on his walks and really understood him - when Bear decided to sit down to watch over his territory, she was patient and let him enjoy the moment. Bear felt so comfortable with her that he even slept upstairs with her, which says everything. While we were away, Ngoc sent us daily updates and photos which put our minds completely at ease. We could see Bear was not only cared for exceptionally well, but was genuinely happy and loved. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Ngoc to anyone. Thank you so much, Ngoc!.

Vania was absolutely brilliant with Bear. He was happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for the entire time. She also left the house spotless and tidy. Communication was excellent too. She sent us regular photo updates while we were away, which really put our minds at ease. We’d 100% book Vania again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Bryher looked after our 2 French bull dogs. She provided daily walks for both of them and enrichment and lots of cuddles. She kept in contact with us and provided photos to reassure us that our doggies were settled and happy. She kept to the routine and also left our house in the way that she found it, clean and tidy. I Will definitely book her again and our doggies loved her!!

Pam is incredibly caring and genuinely loves what she does — I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She followed all care instructions perfectly and kept us updated every single day. When we returned, she even gave us a lovely diary detailing everything she and our dog had done together while we were away. Pam is truly one of the best dog sitters in the area.

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 Wellingborough 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
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 Wellingborough 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.
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.
