“Donna has been looking after my cat for a week, Willow who has been rescued and overly timid. Donna was able to engage her and see to her needs regardless of Willow being timid and shy. She’s kept her safe and sound, Willow, when we got back was calm and content, which was obvious evidence of Donna’s excellent care. Besides she’s kept the house safe and secure, clean and lovely tidy, watered my plants. I’ve received regular updates and pictures of Willow during my holiday which was 100% reassurance that my little cat is safe and sound, I will definitely ask her to look after my Willow in future. Thank you Donna for all you have done for us :)”
“Used Kelly again and I’m delighted with her service and feel totally comfortable with her visiting my home to look after my cat whilst I’m on holiday. Would not hesitate recommending Kelly to look after your cat or dog”
“Caitlin come to provide company for Albie as he has separation anxiety and struggled to be left alone for any length of time. Albie really seemed to enjoy the time spent with Caitlin, which helped him to relax in the house while I was out. Caitlin was so nice, very professional, reliable and super punctual. I would definitely recommend.”
About: If I had to choose between spending the day with people or dogs... the dogs would win every time! 😂 I've always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I've grown up around them my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two gorgeous dogs of my own—Yorkshire Terrier ( Maja) and a Cockapoo puppy ( Mimi) —who are a huge part of my life. They keep me on my toes with lots of adventures, cuddles, and playtime! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I've regularly looked after and walked dogs for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to explore or prefers a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing stops, I'll tailor every walk and visit to suit their individual needs. Pet care is something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of my routine. I’m fully flexible on weekends, making them ideal for longer walks, adventures, dog sitting, and giving your furry friend plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work with your dog's usual routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care. Whether your dog needs an exciting adventure walk, some one-to-one attention, or a cosy home-from-home stay, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’m always happy to chat about what works best for you and your furry friend. 🐶💕 If your dog stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a loving family home and treated like one of my own. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with a fully secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine. Inside, they'll have plenty of cosy places to curl up, lots of love and attention, and as many cuddles as they'll allow! For dog walking, I’m happy to offer both solo walks and walks with my own two dogs joining us. If you would like your dog to have a one-to-one walk with me, that is absolutely fine. Alternatively, if you’re happy for your dog to have some friendly company, my two girls would love to come along and enjoy the adventure too! Just let me know what you’d prefer when booking, and I’ll make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable walk that suits your wishes. For dog boarding and stays in my home, my two girls will naturally be part of the family environment, so I kindly ask that any dogs staying with me are friendly, comfortable, and happy around other dogs. I’ll always make introductions carefully and make sure every dog feels settled, safe, and welcomed as part of the family. 🐾

About: I have had two doggies for the last 12 years. My eldest dog went over the rainbow bridge a few months a go and I’m really missing having doggy walks and company.

We can have a play, chill out or go for a walk. It’s entirely up to you and your dog. I am happy to spend time with dogs of all ages. I am working as an exam invigilator for a few months of the year and have my own car. My children are now grown and they and my husband are now out all day. I regularly look after my father who is 86 one day an week and take him to hospital appointments. Other than this I am available to pop in and look after a dog or two. Take them for a walk or just give them some company. I am happy to care for pets in their own environment. I find that pets seem to be happier if they are in their own environments.

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.

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

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. 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.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Wellingborough pet parents with similar pet households.
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 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.

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.
