About: I've always had a real love for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether its heading out for long walks, exploring new routes, or sitting relaxing together at home. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness and plenty of attention, I will always make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved and safe while in my care. I've looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities, from young pups who love adventure to older dogs who prefer a smaller stroll and a quiet cuddle. I'm reliable, attentive and committed to keeping each dogs routine consistent, helping them feel safe and secure whilst their owner is away. Your dogs well-being and happiness always comes first 🐾♥️ I currently work part time four days a week, which means I have Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturday's off- perfect for long walks, extra cuddles and plenty of playtime🎾 On the days I'm working, I can be available in early mornings or evenings, and am always happy to be flexible if you need me at specific times. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs🫶 Your dogs safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I provide calm and caring environments where dogs can feel relaxed and at home. My garden is fully fenced and gated, giving dogs a secure space to explore and play while having some fresh air. I always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care, whether we are out on a walk or relaxing in the garden. I make sure gates are locked, leads are secure and routines and behaviour plans are followed so owners can have complete peace of mind. I care for dogs deeply and want them to feel part of the family whilst with me ♥️

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: 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

About: I've grown up with a variety of pets my whole life and have always been an immense animal lover! Because of this, I am often relied on by friends and family to look after their fur-babies whilst they are away and also have lots of experience house-sitting. I'm at my happiest when I'm around dogs and animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I own my own home so I'm therefore very responsible and respectful of whoever's home I'm staying in. I will be sure to follow your instructions regarding pet care and certain things around the house. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday so I would be available to look after your pup(s) from late afternoon on Friday until Sunday evening (or early Monday morning). On some occasions if need be, it may be possible for me to work remotely from your home (if WiFi permits and dependant on your facilities but I would need plenty of notice for this). Over the weekend I will be on hand every couple of hours to give your fur-babies my undivided attention, walkies and play time! I would also be available to pop in for checks and short walks during weekday evenings as well. I have a handsome miniature dachshund who keeps me company while I work from home during the week. I have a fenced and secure garden and have a car seat cover that covers the entire back seat meaning we can go further afield for walks as where we live has lots to offer on our doorstep for a variety of walks and terrain. We tend to go on two walks a day and perhaps a longer, more adventurous one on the weekends.

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 :)

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.

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 West Devon 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 West Devon 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.
