“Another successful house sit for Tam. He was so pleased to see Sabina when she arrived he wasn’t worried at all when we went out. She even managed to get him to go for a walk which is unheard of when we go out. Tam was very calm and relaxed when we came home so I know he was happy with Sabina.”
“Charlotte was great. Looking after my 2 labs for the afternoon. Even though I only booked her a few days before she took time to come round & meet the dogs prior to sitting. Additionally Charlotte sent me updates through the day. Would definitely recommend & use again”
“Aijia was great with our Kira. I really appreciated that she arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped us feel more comfortable on the day. She kept me updated while I was at work and overall we had a really lovely experience and I would book with her again.”

About: Hi I’m Megan, I’m 27 and I’m a reliable and caring animal lover offering pet sitting in your own home, so your pets can stay comfortable in familiar surroundings while you’re away. I have four cats of my own and plenty of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I regularly look after friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, breeds and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I work Monday to Friday in a role that allows me to split my time between working from home and being in the office. This means I can offer flexibility depending on your pet’s needs and provide plenty of companionship, particularly on the days I’m working from home. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, administering routine medication if required, litter tray cleaning and regular updates with photos for your peace of mind. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll always do my best to stick to it so they feel safe, happy and well cared for. Whether you’re away for a day, a weekend or longer, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I work Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm, with a mix of office and home working. This means I’m available before and after work every day, all weekend, and I also have flexibility during the week when I’m working from home. I can provide morning and evening visits, overnight stays (where agreed), weekend care, and some daytime visits depending on my work schedule. I’ll always make sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention, exercise, and companionship. I have four cats of my own, so looking after animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve also looked after dogs and cats for family and friends, so I’m used to different routines and personalities. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, I stick to their usual routine as much as possible, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow any instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know they’re happy and being well looked after.
About: my uncle was a police dog trainer and handler. i have gained experience from him with training my dogs in the past. I am kind, caring, patient, and fun. I love all kinds of animals and have experience with a big range. I the pets I will be sitting in will have their dedicated room. I live in a I live in a flat at suburban area that is surrounded by fields and parks. and I do go to work from 8 am till 5 pm. Please bare that in mind when booking. it fits well. I do not work weekends. I work office hours. I have a supportive partner that works from home and is happy to help he is an experienced animal lover as well. I like to meet the pet and owner in advance to introduce myself and assess the pet. a little chat about the pet's preferences, triggers, ,character and care needs is a must. :)
“Libby came for a meet & greet, listened to me waffle about Ralf, took it all in, asked questions. He loved her. I had been nervous before booking & leaving him but Libbys experience with older dogs,her calm & friendly nature made the decision easy. I received photo updates through the day/evening and arrived home to find a couple of very chilled pets.”
“Aimee is a lovely girl , she came to meet Rosie a couple of weeks before to meet Rosie and then a week before she took her for a walk to get to know her. And on the day she sent us lots of pictures to show us how they were getting on. I will be definitely booking Amy again”
“Rebecca and her husband came and stayed and looked after our cat whilst we were away for the week. Rebecca did a great job and we came home to a happy cat and clean house. She was also great at keeping us updated and sending us pictures of our cat whilst we were away and was always quick to respond to any communication. Would use again!”
“Such a wonderful lady. Milley loves spending time with her and is quite disappointed when I get home 😁. Susie sends lots of updates and I have no worries when I am away.”
“Andy was so good with our dogs Oskar and Olive. Oskar is usually a bit wary of strangers, however Oskar immediately warmed to Andy. Andy stayed in our house with the dogs and was extremely attentive, not only to the dogs but also our house. I would highly recommend Andy to care for your dog.”

Gavin has looked after our two dogs on two separate occasions whilst we were away on holiday during June 2026. He took the time to meet the dogs before looking after them. Gavin is confident around the dogs, reliable and trustworthy and we wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to others. We hope to use his services again in the near future.
Chenyan was excellent house sitting Oskar!! The first time we had used a house sitter, but she made us feel really confident that she would (and did!) take great care of him. Updates were great, asked a lot of questions to make sure she knew exactly what to do and when we got back he was so happy and relaxed, which was great for us. Would totally recommend her to look after your pet.
Alex was perfect. Really friendly and accommodating with planning, very easy to talk to. She's obviously a real animal lover, Omelette is a bit of an awkward dog at the best of times but made fast friends with him and understood and dealt excellently with his reactivity issues. We got regular photos and updates and could see he was having a great time. On top of that Alex left the house completely spotless and put the wash on before she left which made a much softer landing for us coming back from holiday. I couldn't recommend Alex enough.
Anna is so lovely and super professional from the first minute we got in contact, and when Bear met her for the first time he ran up to her like he's known her for ages! I felt reassured that Bear was in safe and caring hands - Anna gave a good amount of updates and was always responsive. I'd recommend her to anyone!
Rebecca was amazing looking after our dog Cosmo and cat as well! She came round to meet before the booking which was a lovely touch, and our dog settled so well with her. It was lovely knowing he was in safe hands and not having to worry on our day out! Will definitely book with her again :)
Sydney looked after our two cats wonderfully well again. She’s very good at keeping us updated on them. This time one of them had got into a little bit of a fight and she noticed straight away and got in touch. A quick cleanup at the vets and he was fine the next day. Well done for being on top of it!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Wokingham walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 Wokingham 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. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
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.
