“Timea was brilliant - punctual and attentive. She has a special relationship with cats - I can see that Sprinkles has taken to her immediately and even came to say hello to her on the get to know visit. Timea was very responsive, providing updates and pictures of Sprinkles on daily basis. Would definitely recommend!”
“This is the first time we have used a drop-in service to look after our cat, Bella, and we would absolutely contact Leah again if we ever needed a cat sitter in the future. Leah was friendly, responsive and attentive whenever we messaged, and we really appreciated the updates and photos after each visit. Bella can be quite wary of people she doesn't know, so we were delighted to see that she did venture down the stairs on one occasion and allowed Leah to pet her, which speaks volumes about how safe Bella must have felt with Leah.”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic from first meeting until the day she kept us in the loop and gave my fur babies everything they needed whilst we got married. Will defo use Hannah again in the future. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve grown up most of my life having handled dogs and cats, mostly big dogs like German Shepherds and labradors which I used to train and take on walks. I now have a cat and a Jack Russell of my own. I currently work full time local to home during the weekdays although I am able to care for and walk dogs before and after work and/or any times on the weekends I have a larger home with plenty of space and my dog is well versed in going out on a lead. My cat is relaxed and unbothered old boy who just likes his peace in the windowsill.
About: Experienced with large, high-energy dogs and senior pets. Owner of a young Doberman-Lab cross; previously cared for Rottweiler, German Shepherd, and cats living into their mid-20s. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of spare time. I actively train and care for my own large dog, so I’m available for regular walks and in-home sitting. I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication at all times. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their instructions closely, maintain normal routines, and ensure the environment is secure and calm. For walks, I use appropriate leads and harnesses, assess surroundings carefully, and adjust walks to each dog’s temperament, whether solo or group. I monitor behaviour, energy levels, and wellbeing throughout. I keep homes tidy and respected, provide regular updates, and always aim to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and owners.

I have a level 2 in animal care I completed online when I was going down route of vetinary nurse but choose lift engineering instead, so I am a strong & can handle large breeds. I Frequently dog sit at family and friends homes for their animals! Walk my neighbours dogs and I’m just that girl that has to stop and clap your pet! Missing having the love and able to care for one of my own so here I am. I work full time mon - fri. Finish 2pm Fridays and off weekends. I can do drop ins / or walks on most evenings during week and house / pet sitting on weekends I’m free / board options also. I have a comfy and secure home. Secured garden and fields / woodland surrounding for great walks with any dogs or pets I have staying. I love dog cuddles and theyd be welcome to share sofa with me on evenings and relaxation time
About: Both me and my partner Zac have grown up and looked after Dogs and Cats for years. We have trained my own puppy and have looked after numerous friends, family and client's pets for long periods of times. We absolutely adore looking after all your little ones & Sky adores having friends stay at her home. I work from home everyday as I run my own Online Coaching Business so I have no problem looking after little ones running around me! I choose my own hours and am very flexible. I normally work around the pup’s schedule so they feel just at home and happy to cater in any way. My partner Zac also is home who has grown up with dogs and cats throughout his entire life and absolutely loves taking care of all our friendly visitors! He will cuddle them all night 💤 I have a fenced open garden with a locked gate. My puppy stays in the kitchen when I am out with white noise to avoid any distractions. We tend to split the dogs in the day if we do go out, so they have their well earned rest before they go back into play mode. I live right on the doorstep of the Murieston Trails which we regularly walk our pup down as there is lots to explore! I do have a crate but Sky is happy lounging on the sofa or in her bed and same goes for your own pups. She also sleeps upstairs at night and happy for your pups to sleep where they feel most comfortable at night. Your pups will have fill access to the house and garden throughout the day and night.
About: We have had full-time care of our own two rescue dogs since 2021 & 2022. Both of our dogs have disabilities and require medication. Through Rover we have looked after numerous dogs including several puppies from around 6 months old and a blind dog. I work casually and accept shifts I choose. My partner works mostly from home. We make the dog the priority, they will never be left without a human for long. We have a fenced back garden where your fur baby can play with mine (or alone if specified). We would stick to the pet’s normal routine as far as humanly possible. We live a two minute car ride from the vet. We walk dogs in woods and parks.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. Grew up around cats, and had a family dog in my mid teens. Throughout my life I have been around multiple dogs, from the smallest sausage dog to the biggest Leonberger. I have house sat for many family and friends over the years for their 4 legged friends. I am confident walking dogs of all sizes provided they have basic lead training, and i will ensure walks are safe, and engaging for your pooch. I have my own car, so am very mobile to get to various places. I love to have snuggles with cats, or just be a source of company for them while their beloved owners are away, making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. At present, i am temp working so my days are somewhat flexible, but this will change from October. At present, I can dog walk, house sit or just pop in for a time to give some love and cuddles (will update this in October to new arrangements). Provided sufficient notice is given, I am fairly flexible with taking bookings, and will ensure my availability is updated regularly. I am comfortable to house sit at your property if overnights are required, and happy to provide any security checks you may need. When at a pet owners home, i would ensure the house is secure and the pet is safe, and follow any and all instructions given by the owner to ensure pets are safe and comfortable.
About: I have a 7-year-old Lhasa Apso of my own and have always been around dogs. I regularly help look after dogs for family and friends, including walking and caring for my auntie’s dog when she’s away, sometimes for a few weeks at a time. Most of my friends also have dogs, so I’m very used to being around and looking after them. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy doing in my spare time happy to have a 4 legged companion join me! I work full-time but have flexibility for dog walks in the mornings before work, during my lunch break and in the evenings, as well as at weekends. I work from home regularly and live locally, so I’m happy to discuss a routine that works for you and your dog. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I will always follow your dog’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, whether that’s for walks, feeding or general care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs in their own home and will make sure they feel safe and well looked after while in my care.

Ellie was great! Quick to respond to messages on the app and very friendly and easy to talk to. I liked that she has cats herself so I was confident she’d be grand with our two. Service was carried out with no issues and I appreciated the photos she sent, so cute! 🥰 Would definitely book again!
Lewis was great. He came for a meet and greet and was happy to help out with my older dog/rescue puppy dynamic. The dogs like him instantly and he was super at dealing with a pup break free attempt, sorry about that Lewis! I highly recommend Lewis as a pet carer.
Timea is one of the best dog walkers we have had. She was lovely to Garota and Garota was so excited to see her before every walk. Timea used to send us detailed updates with lots of pictures everyday which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Timea as a star dog walker

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.

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 , 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.
