Zoe is the best! Accepted a last minute booking and came over the day before for a meet and greet. Super friendly and helpful. Buzz loved her and had a fun time during the drop in visit. Will definitely rebook with Zoe again!

About: I truly love dogs, and any dog that comes into my home will be treated as part of the family. My two sons and I shared our lives with a German Shepherd for almost 12 years, and ever since we lost her, the house has felt a little too empty. We’re really looking forward to welcoming your dog into our lives. I always try to care for each dog in a way that suits their unique personality. If a dog is nervous, I’ll give them gentle comfort and patience. If they’re playful, we’ll have fun with toys and games. And if they love walks, we’ll enjoy exploring the outdoors together. I do some volunteer work and also work part-time from home, so my schedule is really flexible. I’ll have lots of time to spend with your pup, especially during the holidays. There are plenty of green spaces nearby for walks. Since I don’t have any pets at the moment, I can focus all my attention on the dogs I care for.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have lived with cats and dogs and love spending my time with them whether that be feeding, stroking or keeping them entertained. I bond well with most pets and treat them like they’re my own, so you can be sure they will be getting the right care and love. I work a 6 on 4 off shift pattern which are two early shifts, two late shifts and two night shifts so I always know what shifts I’m on well in advance. I live in a two bed ground floor flat. The second bedroom is a room for furry visitors. If you use a crate or bed, I am more than happy to put them in there along with any toys or other items they may need.

Flo did a great job of looking after Maple yesterday. She came exactly when she said she would and sent photos so we could see what Maple was up to. Flo was very efficient at communicating before she visited Maple and replied to all of my emails quickly. I would really recommend Flo if you are looking for someone to look after your dog.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover offering warm, family-style care in Woodley. We spend lots of time outdoors walking, playing and enjoying fresh air. Our golden retriever, Crumble is playful, gentle and loves making new dog friends. He’s also a proud stick collector and occasional sock thief. I care for dogs as if they were my own, with patience, affection and plenty of attention. I’m home-based and able to offer flexible care during weekdays and selected weekends. We already enjoy daily walks and outdoor time, so your dog will join a warm family routine with regular exercise, garden breaks and company throughout the day. One dog at the time so every dog gets personal care and attention. I provide a safe, loving home environment with a secure garden, regular supervision and lots of comfort. I keep care personal and low-stress, with gentle introductions to Crumble and close attention to each dog’s needs. I’m happy to follow feeding, sleep and walking routines so your dog feels settled and secure. Crumble offers playtime, toy sharing and first-class cuddles.

About: I have trained 3 puppies in the last 5 years, 2 of which are doodle cross. We have had gun dogs and small Poms. I’ve administered medication, cleaned and bathed big dogs as well as small ones. I will be with my 10 year old daughter so ideally like to look after child friendly dogs. I work 8-4 during the week, my husband is away a lot so I am free most weekends with my daughter. So I am happy to provide a service between a Friday and Sunday. I will walk on a lead daily, or a fenced area or as the owner requires. I am very accommodating as each animal has their own needs. Please just specify and I am happy to follow instructions, nothing is too much of an ask

About: I’ve never owned a dog myself, but I’ve gained lots of experience looking after dogs through friends and BorrowMyDoggy. I’ve been a dog walker on BorrowMyDoggy for the past 2 years, looking after 5 different dogs with a range of personalities! I really enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to help walk yours. I work from home 3 days a week so can support on my lunch breaks and after work. I am also often around on weekends if help is needed then too. If your dog spends time in my home, they’ll have a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and playing!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals. I grew up in the countryside in Romania where animals were always part of daily life. My father is a veterinarian, so from a young age I learned how to care for animals and understand their needs. Growing up, I was surrounded by many different animals including horses, cows, dogs, cats, ducks, and rabbits, so being around animals feels very natural to me. I also have experience raising kittens in the past, and currently I have two male cats of my own who are 3 and 5 years old, as well as a friendly Cocker Spaniel. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for different pets and understanding their personalities. I also have experience giving pets medication, including handling pills, as my dog had some health issues in the past and required regular treatment. I’m patient, attentive, and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure pets stay safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as I have a friendly Cocker Spaniel of my own, so I’m very used to regular walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and care. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for boarding on weekdays after 2pm, and I am completely free on weekends. I also have a one-hour lunch break during the day, so I’m able to check in on pets and provide toilet breaks. I always make sure dogs feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they stay with me. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific care needs. I have a friendly Cocker Spaniel and also cats at home, so I’m very used to caring for different animals and making sure they all feel comfortable and safe. For this reason, dogs staying with me should be comfortable around other pets. I always introduce animals calmly and supervise interactions to make sure everyone gets along well. Dogs staying with me will receive regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I have a flexible working schedule and a one-hour lunch break, which allows me to check in during the day and provide toilet breaks. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away.

Samantha was professional in her approach throughout the initial contact, booking process and pet sitting. She worked hard to build a relationship with our rather distant cat, and provided useful daily up-dates. The feeding area was left spotless and tidied away as we requested. I will be using Samantha again for future holidays.

About: My family has always had dogs, they are the absolute best! Me and my partner Scott have been together 13 years and have had 2 dogs from puppy stage since 2016, a terrier and a Labrador. So I am used to handling different sizes, personalities and life stages. Unfortunately I lost my Labrador this year and would love to meet new dogs through boarding and welcome them into our family whilst they stay here. I work from home, so they will never be lonely. There is a big garden with space for them to play, and great local walks to explore with them :) I work from home and usually walk my dog Dexter at midday around the local lake and woods. If there’s a hot day, this will be first thing or late evening instead to keep them safe. I am home most of the time, so they will rarely if ever be left alone I have a large fenced garden, our terrier is an escape artist, so trust me it’s dog proof and a great space for them to play, sniff and relax! I have a good size 4 bed house, and they will be allowed access to all rooms and will be treated like one of our own. At night I would prefer they sleep downstairs either in the kitchen or living room on a sofa, let me know if this is not suitable

About: We’ve been welcoming and boarding dogs into our home for over three years, and grew up with dogs throughout my childhood and teenage years. We’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they’ve been away, so are experienced with different breeds and personalities. Although we currently have other small pets, we don’t have a dog of our own, which means your pup gets our full attention. We're fully licensed for dog boarding with Wokingham Borough Council (Sarah Brown, Licence #HB086). Work full time at home, so able to look after dogs almost any day. Can take time out from my schedule to walk the dog I have a fenced large back garden to enable your dog to stretch it's legs and enjoy the outside whilst staying here. Park area is also a short walk away

Tinny was absolutely fantastic with our cat Mitzi! Usually Mitzi can be shy and scared of new people but Tinny was so great with her and they were good friends in no time at all. We cannot recommend Tinny enough and would definitely hire her again - thank you 😊

This is our second time having Kin take care of our two furballs and it was a pleasure as always. We had wonderful daily updates, videos and pictures and felt reassured for our entire trip. Everything was also kept so tidy and we’re so grateful that Kin always makes sure to fuss over our cats and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well, healthy and happy. Thanks again and we hope to see you again soon.

Jana was brilliant at looking after my cat when I was away; she was able to help at short notice, communicative, able to give her medication and gave me daily photo updates on how my cat was doing which was v reassuring. When the app was updated and we had issues logging on, she made sure to send me a text to ensure we were able to be in touch. My cat seemed v happy and well looked after when I arrived home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jana again in the future!

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 Wokingham 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. 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:

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.

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.
