“Jac had a lovely day with Amanda and we came back to a very happy boy. Amanda kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures of how he was getting on. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Sabina is amazing!! We contacted Sabina to look after our dachund and elderly chihuahua at our home for a few days while we went away to an event. Sabina collected keys from our lockbox and followed our boys routine to precision giving us updates and pictures of 2 happy boys with walks too. Our home is spotless with 2 very fluffy boys. We 100% recommend Sabina.”
“Saskia looked after our 2 Ragdolls for 3 days and 4 nights and did such a fantastic job! I was impressed from the offset when she arranged to meet them first, asked all the right questions and was clearly a cat lover. She looked after my flat as if it were her own and we not only came back to 2 very happy cats, but the flat was spotless too. She sent daily updates and was always contactable. Couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter, felt very comfortable to leave Ralph & Ru in her hands. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: Hey, I’m a huge dog lover and the proud owner of a friendly 8-month-old puppy, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks, whatever the weather. I’m available most evenings, weekends, and for longer stays, so I’m flexible to suit your needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic adventures, gentle strolls, or plenty of cuddles and company, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and treated like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work full-time and typically finish work at 2:30pm, which means I'm available most afternoons and evenings to care for your pets. I'm also available on weekends and can offer flexible care to suit your pet's needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight stays, I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fully fenced garden with plenty of grass space for supervised play and exercise. I also have a friendly 8-month-old Stafford shire Bull Terrier who is crate trained and enjoys the company of other dogs. I can accommodate crate-trained pets if needed and will always ensure a safe, clean, and loving environment where your pet feels right at home.
“Highly recommended Lia he treated our dogs with love and our home was super clean on return. Kept in constant contact and gave us much needed updates from our fur babies. Will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you Liam - for anyone looking for A* dog sitting service we couldn’t highly recommend”
“Our "usual" sitter was unable you come on this date, and so after an initial "meet and greet" we booked Lana. Lana was calm and friendly, and the dogs took to her, which was great. Lana kept me up to speed with walks, feeding etc, and we arrived home to happy dogs. Recommended.”
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: I have grown up frequently helping a family member out with her animal rescue, looking after dogs of all different shapes and sizes, some with additional needs. I have experience walking strong and difficult dogs, and will be confident attending to your dog's every need! I have just graduated from uni and currently have a part time job, so am looking to fill lots of my free time looking after some pets! I currently don't have any pets of my own but I have a lot of love to give to whichever furry friends I meet. I can easily follow any instructions you leave for the care of your pet in your home, and also use my initiative in any unprecedented situations that may arise. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable and your house remains exactly as you left it :)
“Rachael did a week of overnight cat sitter whilst we were away on holiday. We usually have family watch our cats but no one was free so we were obviously nervous to try someone new. However Rachael exceeded our expectations. The cats seemed really happy when we got home which is also a good sign that they’ve been well taken care of, and the house even looked more sparkling clean than we left it. She made sure to give us lots of updates and daily photos. Would recommend Rachael for sure!”
About: I've had animals in my life since I was little. I took pride in caring for my pets. I enjoyed caring for them so much I volunteered with a local animal shelter throughout my school years. While I do not have a dog of my own currently, I still spent a lot of time with them through my dog nieces and nephews back home. I was a pet sitter there as well, and have added it back into my life at uni. I strive to keep up clients' usual routines to reduce confusion and stress on them. If allowed, I can also take your dog(s) to either dog parks or dog-friendly trails for a fun experience! (Please note: I do not have a car while I'm at uni so any bookings must be accessible via public transit) I am currently in Reading for uni, so outside of term time is completely flexible. During term time I have a small number of classes, so if necessary your pet(s) might have to be alone for a few hours. If they require additional care, I can opt-in to lectures online and stay with them. I typically go to my client's house. I prefer this since it tends to reduce stress put on the pet by the change in their routine. I'm happy to follow any instructions left by you and am adept at solving problems without needless questioning, so you can focus on wherever you are. I'll keep you up to date on their status and let you know if I find any behavior that's concerning. I'm a clean person who will respect your house rules and strive to leave things better than I found them.
“So lovely to meet Andy. Herc was very relaxed with him and it gave us great peace of mind to have Andy sit with him while fireworks were on. Will see you again soon hopefully!”
“Amy was brilliant with my 2 cockers, the older one especially is quite anxious and Amy was calm and patient with them both. She arrived on time and house was immaculate, would definitely recommend.”
“This was our second time booking with Aimee, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is caring, flexible, and professional. She sent us regular updates about Ivy, and we always feel confident that our dog is happy and well looked after when she is with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. From Golden Retrievers and Bulldogs to Rottweilers and many other breeds, I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life around dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. There truly isn’t a dog I don’t love! Alongside caring for my own family dogs, I’ve regularly walked and looked after my neighbours’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and routines.

I understand that every dog is a cherished member of the family, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own. My priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. From keeping them active with fun walks and playtime to ensuring they stick to their usual routine, I’ll do everything I can to give them the best possible experience. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your dog will receive lots of attention, affection, and the highest level of care every step of the way. My goal is for both you and your dog to have such a great experience that you’ll be excited to book with me again! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time on weekends, which means I have plenty of availability throughout the week to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. All of my services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, are available during the week. I always make time to stick to your pet’s usual routine, ensuring they receive regular walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to get to know their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I’ll always treat them as if they were my own. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any special requests you have. I believe in providing a calm, caring, and fun environment where your dog can feel relaxed and enjoy every moment. You can trust that your furry family member will receive the highest level of care, attention, affection, and respect from the moment they’re in my care until they’re safely back with you.

“Mary was such a fantastic cat and house sitter! She looked after our deaf cat Blade beautifully for three nights, and was so gentle, kind and caring. She sent the cutest updates of Blade and gorgeous photos. Our home was perfect when we came back and Blade looked super happy and relaxed, we really couldn’t have asked for more! We wouldn’t hesitate to book Mary again :)”

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.
