About: We have been a dog owners all my lives. Love looking after them and caring for them. I own my home and have a courtyard and local fields to play in. Chloe my partner also has owned dogs and cats all her life and she loves taking them for walks and playing with them. Together we look after your pet like our own We can cater for your pet exactly as you wish. We don't impose ideas but work with yours. We believe in happy lives for dogs.. they live longer that way . I had a 15 year old black Labrador.Chloe has had German Shepherds and Rottweilers. Hope to hear from you soon.. I run my own business so constantly in and out of the house. So your pet will never be alone for more than a hour! We have no children so put all my attention into pets... The hardest part of this job is saying goodbye to dogs because we bind with them very quickly! We are available for short and long term periods. Your dogs dietary requirements and eating schedule will be strictly adhered to so as to not disrupt the routine they are used to. Sleeping and walking schedules 📅 are kept the same although I will probably walk them more often .. remember they are on holiday to. 😃 Both Chloe and I are Pet CPR and First Aid qualified! Thanks for checking us out. I’m currently available weekdays and some weekends. I live in a small idealism village with lots of walks and fields. My house is large enough for one dog maybe 2 but I only take on one at a time to focus on them completely I have a bricked backyard safe and secure and the door is open for your dog to come In and out! If they are used to sleeping on beds I will have them on mine … as long as they don’t snore all night!’ But I’m a heavy sleeper anyway
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: I’ve had dogs since I was 2 years old. I had a German Shepard and a golden retriever. I now have my own cocker spaniel. I absolutely adore animals especially dogs. I had my cocker spaniel trained by 12 weeks old. I’m patient and love getting out with them. I’m sympathetic and care a lot. My dog is my world so know your dogs would be loved and cared for just as much as mine is. Playing, walks or a cuddle they can have it all. I am currently in the middle of a career change so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, have cuddles or go for lovely walks! I have a fenced garden with locked gates. The doors are always locked for safety unless the dogs are in the garden where they will be monitored. I have one dog myself she is 3 years old and not spayed. Dogs are never left alone for longer than a hour if I have to pop to a shop and will be let out for the toilet every 2 hours unless needed earlier and will be taken for walks twice a day or three times a day. Dogs will be kept on a lead while on walks regardless of recall for their safety. If dogs are to go in a car to go to a country park for a walk with permission from owner, the dog will always have a dog seatbelt attached to a harness.
“Kelly did a great job looking after Oreo, kept me informed at each visit which gave me peace of mind. I would not hesitate recommending her. Oreo was able to stay at home while I was away, comfortable and secure in his own surroundings. Far better than putting him in a Boarding Cattery. I’m very happy with Kelly’s help 😎👍🏻”
About: Based in Earls Barton, job hunting after solo travelling Asia (you could always find me hanging with the dogs and cats in the hostels and cafes!). With over a decade of pet sitting experience, I am able to provide consistent care with treats, training, games, exercise - I’ll adapt to the needs of your dog to ensure they have the best care! My days are 100% flexible so I can maintain any schedule your dog is used to. Through Rover I have experience caring for senior dogs and reactive / stubborn dogs and lively puppies - safe to say I have looked after some great little pals with a range of needs. I have a senior Beagle at home, he is very relaxed and friendly with other dogs - I am able to keep pooches in separate rooms if needed but will only accept dogs that are neutered & have positive experience with other dogs. Also have an escape-proof garden for doggies to play / snooze as desired. I’ve cared for our 15 year old Beagle for 12 years, he’s a rescue and we’ve had him since he was 2. Early on he required a lot of attention, lots of training - like many rescues we weren’t sure exactly what to expect so it took lots of patience and treats! He’s now a slightly grumpy senior dog with limited mobility, and requires more physical assistance but less training and attention during the day (he’s probably asleep). I’m currently living at home, job hunting for a full time position, so I might pop out for a couple of hours but my days are super flexible. I am available on short notice - just ask :) I have a fenced garden and a very chilled out senior beagle for your pet to hang out with. I live next to a track leading down to a huge green open space next to the river great for long walks.
About: My journey as a pet sitter started when a friend needed someone urgently—I stepped in, and word of mouth quickly took over. Soon, friends of friends began reaching out, and what started as a favour turned into something I genuinely love. Since I’m not able to have a pet at home, I cherish every opportunity to care for others' animals and make the most of each experience. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet needing extra attention, I treat every animal with love, patience, and personalised care as if they were my own. I work from home full time and honestly need a few distractions during the day—so a fluffy cuddle is always welcome! Pet care fits in naturally with my routine. I’m available to house sit (I just need an office set up and an available screen), and I can do drop-in visits and walks around lunchtime and after 4 p.m. It’s a great way to break up my workday and spend time with animals, which I love. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort, as well as the security of the home. I make sure that any areas the pet has access to are pet-proofed, ensuring there are no hazards like open doors, toxic plants, or dangerous objects. I’m very attentive to each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s sticking to their regular routine, giving medications, or making sure they get enough exercise. Since I work from home, I’m able to offer constant supervision, providing pets with the attention and care they deserve. I make sure to follow any instructions the pet owner gives to ensure the pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible. Whether it's during a house sit or just a walk, the pet’s well-being is my top priority.
“Brilliant! Thank you so much for looking after my boys, thank you for the pictures and the updates, they are in good spirits when I got home, very happy and no stress. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely use again, she’s friendly and professional and exactly who you want looking after your pets!”
“Absolutely amazing. Katie managed to get Cleo to warm to her within days - strokes, play time and fresh food and water every visit. She was on time every day and made Cleo comfortable. Thank you SO much - will definitely be booking Katie everytime to look after Cleo. Highly recommend”
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.
“Lucie was great with Thea! She had a lot of patience with her, managed to calm her down from the 1st meeting excitement, and sent us an update after the drop-in visit. When we got home, Thea was well and fed, had been to the toilet, and was peacefully resting. I’d definitely recommend Lucie and would use her services again in the future. Thank you!”
“Nickala is very friendly and reliable, kept me well informed every day. She's very good with animals, my Loki took to her straight away, a nice surprise as he's very timid around visitors! Will definitely look to book her again for any future holidays!”
“Jen was brilliant with our kitten while we were away on holiday, she made sure we were kept up to date with how she was doing and sent videos and pics. Flawless service and will 100% use again and would highly recommend!”
About: I had the pleasure of looking after my best friends dog for 6 months and really loved the companionship I had and he also really helped our whole household to get through the 2020's lockdown year. All my life, all animals have had a calming influence on me. I studied Animal Management and Welfare for 3 years. I have continued to dog walk and dog sit for friends and acquaintances from my teenage years. Looking after all animals, but dogs especially has always been a huge pleasure for me. I currently work full time but my job is very flexible and I can work my life around my job when and if I need to for anything I would prefer to look after pets at their owners houses. But if needed I have a 3 bedroom house with reasonable paved garden (no grass in garden) but have a currently young baby (2 ½ months old) in the house
“Amazing! I was super anxious of leaving Bertie but Ellie was fantastic. She sent me photos so I wouldn’t be panicking all day And bertie liked her. Would defo use her again. Definitely recommend her.”

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.
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.
