About: I’ve had pets in my family home as long as I can remember, including three dogs, two cats, two tortoises, fish and hamsters over the years. I’ve always loved being around and looking after animals, especially dogs. I grew up with an English Springer spaniel and a Dandie Dinmont terrier - two dogs that were polar opposites but both affectionate and loyal - what more can you ask for? After they both passed away last year, my mum brought a Maltese poodle puppy called Lola into the family home and it’s reminded me of how playful and loving pets are. In terms of experience, I’ve dog-sat and walked my mates Australian Labradoodle and previously looked after neighbours cats while they’ve been away. If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out - Thanks. I work full-time for a multinational professional services company however my job is fully remote and employees are entrusted to work flexible hours to manage their own work schedules. I’d love the extra bit of company when working from home and the opportunity to get out on walks during the day. I live in a dog- friendly duplex flat with open plan living and kitchen and a small-medium sized balcony. I understand this may be off putting but I’m a 3 minute walk from Lovell Park, and only a 10 minute walk from the canal, which I often run along and is very popular with dog walkers. I have a very comfortable sofa and plenty open floor space to roam around
“This is the second time we have booked Sophie to look after our cats. Sophie is fantastic, providing a great level of care and consideration for the cats and our home. We get lots of photos of the cats enjoying themselves which is really reassuring. Sophie stays for the full 30mins and spends that time giving the cats her full attention, playing with them and giving them fuss.”
“My cat seemed very happy and relaxed after Cassandra had been looking after her while I was away! Cassandra was very organised, and I appreciated and enjoyed the photo updates :-)”
About: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.
About: Am a very kind hearted person who has had many years experience with care of family pets. Looking forward to meeting you and your friendly pet. I’m looking to do pet walking and sitting for day only on Thursdays and Saturdays this is my only free time as working the rest of the week. I am available for dog walking and pet sitting at your home only. Days I am available are Thursdays and Saturdays. I am a honest and reliable person who will respect your home and pets at all times.
About: I currently work full time as a teacher but I love being outdoors and will happily do daily evening dog walks or daily evening cat sitting. On weekends and holidays I can offer more flexibility. I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where your pet’s comfort always comes first. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep my home clean, secure, and stress-free, and I always make sure doors and windows are safely closed. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands
About: I have always been involved with dogs and a variety of animals my whole life. From high energy to low or puppies to seniors I have experience of them all. There is not much I have not done with dogs and happy to be adaptable to whatever your dog requires. I’m available for boarding not working on weekend and if able to be left for 6 hrs then I can also do boarding during the week. I work in a school can do the sitting around this but normally leave at 3. I can provide attentive and reliable care in your home, carefully following all instructions you leave to ensure your pet stays comfortable, safe, and well looked after in your absence.

If he could talk he’d say she was Purrfect Lol at looking after him. Definitely recommend Millie and we will ask her again if we need someone for Billy Thank you Millie”
About: I have grown up with dogs, hamsters, rabbits and cats. I have a dog of my own, a German Shepard x Doberman, I've had her since a 7 week old puppy. We love going out for long walks and being social in the dog park. I have good experience with big dogs, and highly active dogs, as my family dog was a border collie who didn't ever want to stop. Alongside this I love all other animals, my sisters always had a wide range of reptiles and I've enjoyed meeting and greeting her latest addition. I feel like as long as I'm with any type of animal I'm happy, if that's long dog walks outside or just a bit of attention on the sofa. All animals deserve to be treated like family and I can assure you, if you chose me to help out with your pet, I'll treat it like my own and with love and care I love spending time with my dog, going for dog walks and being outside, I enjoy socialising with other pet owners and getting to know new animals. Your pet will be well looked after and have lots of attention and play when with me. I have a fenced off garden where my dog and your pet will be let outside, I take them for a morning walk, and evening walk, and they are let outside multiple times throughout the day. They get lots of cuddles and care. My dog gets fed in the morning and the evening, and a few treats whilst out on the walks.

About: I have over 10 years experience looking after dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am a calm person with a big heart and I think animals can sense that so they warm to me almost instantly. I love walking and exploring different areas and I get so much enjoyment seeing dogs happy and enjoying themselves. I’ve been pet sitting full time for the last 2 years (on a different app) I have lots of references that I can share with you. Owners regularly ask me back which is nice. I often look after dogs that need medication and I have no problem administering this so long as you give me clear instructions. I have experience with both puppies who need regular attention and elderly dogs that need slower walks and less attention. I am happy with both :) I work for a sustainability company and my role is fully remote which works perfectly when caring for animals. I am an early riser and out the door for a walk, again on my lunchbreak and after work. So they will get plenty of exercise with me ! When caring for animals in your home I will follow the rules and instructions that you provide. I am very responsible and often I am with your animals 24/7 only popping out for food or a run. I like to take dogs out first thing in the morning, again mid day and after work. I don’t like the idea of a dog being stuck inside at all so I try and take them out as much as I can. I am very respectful of people’s homes and will always leave your home clean and tidy. People often ask me back because I leave their homes immaculate. I also like to provide videos and photos regularly to give you peace of mine they’re being well looked after :)

Yes. There are up to 657 pet sitters offering care in and around West Devon. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
