“Shirley was just perfect, so friendly and accommodating. I was a little concerned leaving Jaxson because he hadn't stayed away from home for a long time but Shirley couldn't have been more helpful and made Jaxson feel at home from the word go, he settled in so well, i'm sure all the cuddles from Shirley did the trick ❤️ If Jaxson could talk i'm sure he'd be asking ......... can I go again 😀, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Shirley to anyone who is need of a dog sitter 🐶xx”
“Beverley was so welcoming and made us feel confident in leaving our dog for the first time . Duncan, Beverley's dog was so cute, bith digs got on really well. Wouldn't hesitate to use again and would recommend to friends and family.”
“Sandra looked after Storm for an evening and Storm had a great time and settled in so quickly with her and her partner. I got lots of videos and photos which helped put my mind at ease that Storm was having a great time. Storm can be unsure of new people, but Sandra agreed to a pre meet and also made sure she asked lots of questions so she knew how to best look after Strom. Storm also had a day visit with Sandra and her partner for a walk and had a great time. Thanks so much!”
“Elsa really enjoyed her stay with Racheal and her family Elsa was looked after so well and was happy and relaxed Racheal provided lots of updates and photos of Elsa’s stay Thank you Racheal”
“Couldn’t be happier with Wesley and how he cares for Bryn whenever I’m away. Bryn absolutely loves him, I can clearly see how happy he gets every time he sees Welsey; this only means that he’s taken good care of him. Would definitely contact him again!!”
About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.
“KO has been amazing with Leo, we got pictures everyday and he is well looked after. She gave him clothes and made our dog feel comfortable. We felt very at ease thanks to KO’s communication and will definitely ask her look after leo again!🩷”
“Angela has been absolutely amazing with the whole process. Since the first contact I have felt at ease. Thank you for taking care of my little babies - they absolutely love you and will be getting in touch again very soon 😊”
“Rosie had a wonderful stay with Annabelle such a lovely caring kind person she looked after Rosie like one of her own spoilt rotten even sleeping on the bed ! Keeping her safe and plenty of walks , cuddles + love what more can u ask for and plenty of updates. Rosie was really happy when my son picked her up . I would highly recommend.”
“Sharon looked after our much loved Cocker for 3 nights, having had a meet and greet prior, we already knew he was going to be well looked after and be happy to stay. Excellent communication which helped us to feel more relaxed leaving him. Thank you so much, we would not hesitate to ask you to look after him again in the future.”
“Thanks Dylan, first time leaving Harley and there was absolutely no need for me to worry! Plenty of updates while I was away, picked her up and she’d made friends with the other pup and was happy playing. See you all soon x”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always been involved in caring for them. My family owned Staffordshire Bull Terriers, so I’m very comfortable handling energetic, strong, and affectionate dogs while understanding the importance of routine, patience, and attention. Now, I have my own French Bulldog with my partner, who is completely spoilt rotten and loved to bits. Caring for him daily has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own, with plenty of care, affection, and attention. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I work during the week and have weekends free to fully focus on caring for dogs. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Dogs will always receive lots of love, care, and company while they’re with me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and right at home with me. I have a secure gated garden where dogs can safely play and enjoy some fresh air, and they’ll always get plenty of attention, care, and cuddles. I’ve grown up around dogs all my life and now have my own French Bulldog, so I’m very used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure dogs feel happy and settled. I’ll always follow any routines or instructions you provide so your dog gets the best care possible while they’re with me.
About: I have grown up with pets from a young age, which has given me strong experience and confidence in caring for animals. I currently have a cat of 4 years and a dog of 1 year, so I am familiar with both daily care routines and understanding different pet needs. I am currently not working and I am at home full time, so I have plenty of time to give pets attention, care for them, and play with them. I have a garden and a friendly dog, which helps create a safe and welcoming environment for other pets. I ensure all animals are supervised, well cared for, and introduced carefully to maintain comfort and safety.
“Just picked Stanley up from John’s house yesterday after a 10 night stay. He has been cared for beautifully and given lots of nice walks. We were sent photos and updates all the way through so very reassured our dog was in great hands. No hesitation to recommend John to others.”
About: I am a Primary School Teacher in the day, but happy to look after your furry loved ones for long weekends or during school holidays. I have a high-energy Hungarian boy Vizsla myself so we enjoy long walks and cuddles on the couch. I’d be happy to look after your dog and send lots of videos and photos! I currently work full-time as a teacher, with the odd day off in the middle of the week. I am available for weekend work and boarding over school holidays! I have a detached property with a fenced garden area. I also live near parks and fields for fun with a ball, or two! We have lots of space for the dogs to run, play and snuggle!
“Francis looked after our 14 week old pup and I can highly recommend him. We received lots of videos and pictures of the wonderful stay that Polo had and will definitely be using Francis again! Thanks again for taking great care of our pup!”
“Cleo had a lovely stay with Sarah and family over the weekend for two nights, and was a very happy dog when I collected her, obviously she had been very well looked after. Sarah sent me plenty of updates to put my mind at ease while I was away, with lots of photos to show how Cleo was getting on. Would absolutely recommend and would definitely use Sarah's dog minding services again. Thanks so much for looking after my girl and taking such good care of her”

Nicole looked after my dog buddy for 2 nights and this was the first time anyone had looked after him. From the get go Nicole made me feel so at ease and filled me with reassurance and confidence with everything she said. While we was away, Nicole would send updates, photos and videos of how he was getting on and what he was Upto. The reassurance and confidence was also shown in all her actions while we was away. I knew he was in very loving hands and I could see he was happy and settled to be there. I would 110% recommend and will definitely be booking with her again. Thankyou so much again Nicole✨🫶🏻
Melissa and her family did an amazing job of looking after Molly while we were away. From our first visit we knew it would be a perfect place for her to stay,be safe,well looked after and loved and we certainly wasn't disappointed. We were sent photos of Molly at least every other day while on holiday and would reply back immediately if we we had any questions. Molly came back to us a very happy and fit dog after plenty of walks too. We will definitely use Melissa's service again. Thank you 😁
Marie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We had a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately reassured me and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Throughout their stay, Marie sent plenty of photo updates, which I really appreciated - it was so lovely to see how happy and relaxed my boys were. It looked like they had such an amazing time with her! Thank you so much, Marie, for taking such wonderful care of my boys. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.
Olivia was absolutely amazing! We’ve left our girls with strangers before and I was really anxious about it however from the first meeting she really put our minds at ease. Daily pictures& updates were welcome and it quickly became obvious that Olivia is a true dog lover. Olivia got know the girls personalities and clearly connected with them. The girls clearly loved their stay and truly had a holiday themselves. Thank you 🐾❤️
We’re so grateful for the way you cared for Teddy during the week he spent with you. It was clear he felt safe, happy, and well-loved in your care. You kept us updated regularly, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and playful he was. Thank you again for treating Teddy like one of your own. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others and would happily book with you again in the future!
Sam did an exceptional job looking after Lulu. It was the first time she had ever stayed away from family but she had a fantastic time staying with Sam and his two dogs. We arranged a meet and greet before the stay which was a good opportunity for the dogs and Sam to meet. We could also talk through Lulus routine, likes / dislikes etc. During the stay Sam kept us regularly updated with lovely videos of all the dogs playing and out on their daily walk. Would highly recommend! Thank you Sam!

Thank You So Much for taking such Great Care of our Little Fur Baby, Thank You.... Les & Ewelina xx
Natalie was absolutely amazing with our beagle Penelope, we have never left her before so it was hard to trust someone to look after her, Natalie was fantastic with her and gave us regular updates and pictures which made us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend Natalie and we will definitely be using her again, thank you so much xx

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.
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.

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 .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
