“I highly recommend Lucie as an amazing dog sitter. She cared for Milo with genuine love and attention, ensuring he was happy and content. Lucie also took excellent care while staying overnight in our home. Milo was calm and relaxed when we returned, a testament to Lucie's dedication and kindness. We are truly grateful for her exceptional service and wholeheartedly trust her with our beloved pet.”
“We have used Tracey and Maya twice before, so when it came to leaving our dog and home in safe hands again , there was no hesitation. Our dog is clearly happy when in their company. Our house is left clean and tidy. We get lots of pictures and updates. We will be planning any future holidays where we can’t take our dog around Tracey’s availability. Thank you as always.”
“Eloise communicated brilliantly throughout the process and the meet and greet helped put our minds at ease beforehand. She sent photos to show Clarence was happy and safe, which again kept our minds at ease. If ever needed we will look at booking her again.”
“Caitlin was on time and looked after Rocky overnight in our house. She sent updates while we were away and took him out for walks. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Caitlin!”
“Millie was a great dog sitter in our home. Millie took the time to do two pre-visits to be confident she knew the dogs before our holiday. When we were away we had lots of updates on how they both were doing. She rearranged her work shifts in order to spend more time with them. The house was very today when returned. I would highly recommend Millie!!”

“Zara was amazing with our 3 pooches - they’re not the easiest but she made all the accommodations needed. We had a bit of a panic with a mess up for our upcoming holiday and reached out to Zara last minute where she was able to arrange a meet and greet super fast. During the stay Zara was patient with our rescue dog as she takes a while to warm up and looked after our home.”
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.

About: License No: 26/01074/AWBH Hi, I'm Oli! While I am just starting out with professional pet sitting, I have loved, owned, and cared for animals my entire life. For me, pets aren't just a hobby - they are family, and I know exactly how tough it can be to leave your four legged best friend behind. I am always looking after my friends' dogs when they go away, and I’ve proudly become their reliable friend who they know they can always count on. I also have my own 7 years old Beagle named Barney, so your pup will have a very friendly, experienced companion to hang out with. Whether your pup is a high energy explorer who thrives on long, active walks or prefers belly rubs and lounging around, I adapt completely to their personality and your specific routine. You can have total peace of mind knowing they are in a great environment, as I have a spacious house with plenty of room for dogs to relax and stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden that is absolutely perfect for zoomies and playing fetch. Your pup will never be short on attention, affection, or companionship. I’m reliable, attentive, and fully committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they are doing. I can't wait to meet your dog and give them the best day ever! My daily and weekly routine is built around an active lifestyle and plenty of pet companionship. My days start and end with movement. I am very active and I love walking, which means your pup will join me for dedicated, refreshing walks first thing in the morning and evening. During the day guest dogs hang out with me and my friendly 7 years old Beagle, Barney. They have total peace of mind in a spacious four bedroom house with plenty of room to stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden. Because I treat guest dogs exactly like family, your pup will enjoy a balance of active outdoor time,and endless daytime companionship. When pets stay in my home, they are fully integrated into a stable, welcoming family environment, providing consistent companionship throughout the day. When I care for pets in the owner's home, my approach is all about minimising their stress by keeping them in familiar surroundings.If an owner requires overnight house sitting, I stay at their property to provide security and comfort through the night.No matter the setting, I keep owners completely connected to their pets by sending regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and messages.
“Jo took exceptional care of my boy, Benji, while I was on holiday. He was happy, content, and clearly well looked after. The photos she sent really showed how much she cared for him. Before the stay, Joanna even took the time to visit and get to know Benji on his terms, asking thoughtful questions about his needs—and meeting every one of them throughout. I would absolutely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Benji would too—especially as he thoroughly enjoyed his unlimited carrots!”

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.
