“Khaley is absolutely lovely and my cat took to her immediately. Khaley went above and beyond with her care of Ollie, spending lots of time just keeping him company and giving lots of attention. She kept me informed each day and sent lots of photos of a clearly happy cat. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jessica was so lovely with our puppy - very gentle and good at playing with him. Meant I was able to work safe in the knowledge he was really happy. Also fab speedy communication. Would totally recommend her!”
About: As well as owning my own two dogs for seven years, for three years aboard, I worked in local dog pounds. I have helped care for and trained numerous different dogs. I have trained them with the basics such as sit, wait, and down, I have also helped them with anxiety issues, social issues, and learning to trust humans again. During this time, I also fostered 10+ dogs, from tiny puppies to dogs that were 5 or 6 years old, with health issues. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spending time with these dogs, nurturing them and showing them what a loving environment is about. I currently work part time and am able to fit in pet visits and walking Mon - Fri 9.30 -14.30 dog walking. I am also available every other weekend as well. I can easily crate your dog if they have anxiety issues and require a safe space. I am respectful of a dog / cat in their home environment and any rules you have for your home I will adhere to and respect. If you require muddy paws wiped before entry, a groom before bed, biscuits laid out before I leave them please let me know.
“I would highly recommend Lily as she is reliable and punctual. She carried out all our requests when looking after our dogs and was a pleasure to deal with. Great levels of communication and flexibility. She gave us updates on our pets. I’ll definitely be asking for Lily’s help again - thank you Lily!”
“Ellie has been amazing with our little Olive, we can see from the pictures that Olive is happy and content with her. Ellie also kindly helped with the bins, which we are very grateful for. Thanks”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I currently have two dogs, including a puppy, which has given me valuable experience with puppy training, routines, socialisation, and the extra patience and consistency that young dogs need. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets through Rover, as well as for friends and family. From tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Staffies, older dogs needing a gentler pace, and households with multiple pets, every booking has helped me build my knowledge and confidence. I’m proud to have received excellent reviews for my reliable, friendly, and caring approach. Sadly, I lost my beloved 16-year-old cat in July 2026, who had been part of my family for many years. That experience has only strengthened my understanding of how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to leave them with someone you can genuinely trust. I’m currently looking for a new full-time career, which means I have much greater flexibility for bookings and can often accommodate daytime care, longer stays, and last-minute requests. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My priority is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind. I work full-time Monday to Friday in Basingstoke and live in Newbury, with occasional days in Reading, so I can cover a wide area for pet care. I’m mainly available for weekend stays and evening visits during the week for feeding, playtime, and cuddles. For weekday stays, I’m out between 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM (dependant on the location) but your pets will always get plenty of love before and after! I also offer dog walks in the Basingstoke area on weekdays, as that’s where I work (9:30–5:30). I do my best to follow each pet’s routine and keep things as comfortable and consistent as possible! Your pets safety will always be my top priority. At home, my own cat is kept safe with a magnetic tag cat flap that only opens for her, and our garden is fully fenced to prevent any escapes. After discovering gap under the bush where animals could slip through to the neighbours, we quickly secured it with chicken wire - problem solved! I believe in creating a calm and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow consistent routines, maintain a healthy diet for my own pets, and always use positive reinforcement - praise and the occasional treat - for good behaviour. You can trust that your furry friend will be in a safe and loving space while you are away.
“Elysia has provided exceptional care for my dog. She is meticulous in her attention to detail, and the care she provides is outstanding. I have engaged her services for several months and she demonstrates consistent reliability. I enthusiastically recommend her for providing care for your furry companion!”
“Yuen Ying L was a great cat sitter. Easy to communicate with whilst we were away. She spent plenty of time with our cat and sent plenty of pics of him to keep us reassured he was ok. Will contact her again when we travel again. Would recommend. ”

About: As a child, I always had a dog and I like to be around any pets. Now I share the responsibility for our cat with my daughter. I like spending time with pets, playing with them, and giving them the attention they deserve. They bring so much happiness. I am quite flexible and can work with your schedule.

About: i have lived with dogs and other animals since i was a baby. I have my own dog, Teddy, a 4 year old yorkiepoo and we are inseparable. I have experience looking after senior dogs and giving them round the clock care. I also have experience with puppies and younger dogs, where I have learnt to train them and also provide the round the clock care they sometimes require! I am also more than happy to provide “doggy day care” in your home rather than mine. I understand some dogs prefer their own space, especially when meeting new people and so this is a preferred option for me to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy! I am currently working full time as a Property Manager in an Estate Agents in Newbury, but I am looking to set up my own business! As I currently work 9am-5:30pm, I will be working my pet care services around these times. This means a lovely early morning walk, which is perfect for the summer when the weather can affect our furry friends! It is very important that pets feel comfortable, and so receiving care in their own home environment is highly beneficial for them. Whether it is just a drop in visit for some cuddles, or a top up of their food and water, your pet will be well and truly loved and fussed over!

I own a cat and dog sit my sister’s dog regularly while she is at work. My cat gets all the attention in the world, he is an active cat and likes to be left alone sometimes, owning a cat like this made me aware of the signs that a cat needs space. I have walked my sister’s dog many times over 2 years, she can be unhappy around other dogs sometimes so I know how to deal with a dog that is stressed. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for any animal I encounter.

About: I’ve always had a family dog and most of our friends and family have either dogs or cats, so I've had experience with many breeds over the years. I have a very caring and calming nature, I love all animals and I also feel very capable of looking after anxious pets or pets with special requirements. I’m currently trying to make pet walking and sitting a full time job, so I am available to move in with a pet and be there all the time to care for them and meet all their needs. It also means I can walk the dogs at anytime so as to keep them in their usual routine. I have been entrusted many times with pet sitting within another person’s home, leaving everything as it was when I arrived. I am capable of crating dogs if necessary and making sure all their needs and routines are met during my stay. I am very trustworthy and honest, I have keys to a few family friends homes so I can pop in to their pets whenever needed, so I am used to looking after someone's home as well as their pets.
About: I have had my own dog for 11 years, he’s now an elderly gentleman! As a household we love animals and look forward to looking after your pets, I will be looking after them as their primary carer. . I have also had cats for 15 years, currently just one beauty. I’m here to look after your furry guests and help them settle in. I always do two good walks a day with our own dog or a trip to the park. On top of this we do two toilet breaks if needed. As the garden is not currently secure, I don’t use this for dogs. Dogs sleep in the kitchen which has rubber flooring at the moment, no caging unless requested. Our dog is older so can be a bit lazy and needs his rest, we have plenty of room for dogs to have their own space if needed, but he generally likes company. I am a cat lover and happy to provide drop in cat care, feeding, litter and cuddles.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
