About: I study zoology at university and I am a certified marine mammal medic! I have a passion for taking care of animals and I have previous experience in pet sitting, including boarding for a week. I also have pet sitting insurance. I’m currently home from university and not working, so I am available whenever needed! I also have a car so I am available at short notice and am willing to travel. I have a fenced garden with a dog and a cat with lots of fields to play and run around in a short 2 minute walk away!
“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.
“Emma was brilliant, super communicative and took excellent care of my cat, Bella. Bella was recovering from being spayed and Emma was great with checking her, kept an eye on her wound, and gave her pain meds. Thank you!”
About: Im currently getting everything set up and will be available for dog sitting from the 20th of September. I’m a university student so I have lots of free time. I live next to Palmer Park and do my daily walks there anyway! I get my fitness in and to be accompanied by a dog would be lovely. I have a car so I am able to get to homes and take the dogs for walks. I have grown up with my grandparents dogs and my friends dogs have experienced many cuddles, dog walks, dog feeds and nap times. I love learning new tricks for the dogs and making them happy. I have a flexible schedule, I study part time at Reading university so I am always free in the evenings, weekends and around my lessons in the morning and afternoon. I will make sure your dog gets the same amount of fork as usual and make them feel really at home. Hopefully keep them to their usual routine.
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 :)
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs and currently help look after two dogs, a golden retriever and a cocker spaniel (aged 5 and 2) who I’ve cared for since they were puppies. This has given me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, reinforcing good behaviour, and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I’ve also looked after my neighbours cat during holidays, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending time with them to keep them comfortable while their owners were away. I’m active, reliable, and love spending time with animals. I am an athlete and therefore I am used to being organised, punctual, and commited, so you can trust that your pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow owners’ instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved whilst you are away. Services I offer: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to your pets’ individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply some company while your away, I’m happy to follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I can provide: - Dog walking (short or long walks to suit your dogs needs) - Drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, playtime and toilet breaks - Pet sitting - Regular photo and text updates for peace of mind - Plenty of attention, affection and enrichment - Care tailored to your pets routine, including feeding schedules and any specific instructions Your pets safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priority. During the summer, I train 2-3 times a day as a competitive rower, but outside of my training sessions I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. I’m organised and plan my day around my commitments, so I’m able to provide reliable care and stick to your pets routine. From September, I’ll be back at university while continuing to train 2-3 times a day. My availability will be more limited during weekdays, but I’ll still have availability around my lectures and training, as well as on many evenings and weekends. I’m always happy to discuss your needs and let you know if I can accommodate your requested dates. Your pets safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, so I’ll always take the time to follow their normal routine and any instructions you provide.

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.
“Lauren was absolutely brilliant. It’s the first time we’ve used Rover, and she made us feel totally safe about leaving our cat in her care. We had daily updates and photos of him. And we just got home, and he’s looking very well looked after We will definitely be using this service again.”
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’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’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.

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.

About: I've spent over 20 years as a Physio and Rehabilitation practitioner for dogs in Australia. I've worked with thousands of dogs of all ages and breeds. I have two dogs of my own. A Swiss Shepherd called Shen Bear and a Leonberger called Kiana. I specialise in older dog care and am happy to share my experience to take the best posisble care of your dog. I'm now back in the UK with my Swiss Shepherd called Shen Bear and our young Leonberger called Kiana. I'm reliable, honest and here to help your dog. I work from home most days with a flexible schedule, leaving me time to fit in visits, walking and minding. I'm available early mornings and evenings if needed. If minding a dog at home. I have a secure large back yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. They have plenty of room to play and relax. I also have a seperate space if they need time out.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was young and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets including rescue dogs, hamsters, and budgies. Over the years I’ve provided dog walking, drop-ins, overnight house sitting, and pet care for friends, family, and clients. I have also completed a pet first aid course for extra peace of mind. I’m especially patient with nervous or anxious pets, having spent the last 9 years with my rescue dog who is fearful of people, which has taught me how important calm energy, trust, and routine are. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve also handled more responsible aspects of pet care when needed, including taking dogs to vet appointments during pet sits, so I’m able to stay calm, attentive, and reliable in different situations. I genuinely love animals and always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the day, especially during longer stays. Depending on your pet’s needs and routine, I’m able to do walks in the mornings, at lunchtime, after work, and in the evenings, while also spending plenty of time with them during the day. For dog walking and drop-ins, I’m generally available on selected weekdays at lunchtime, every evening after 5pm, most weekends, and during holidays including bank holidays and Christmas. I currently provide pet care in the owner’s home, as I believe many pets feel happiest and most comfortable staying in their familiar environment and routine. I always take the time to understand each pet’s usual schedule, personality, and needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I aim to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and consistency. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Wokingham
Kin is incredibly responsible, reliable, and caring. She took excellent care of my cat, Simba, and kept me updated throughout with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. My fat boy Simba absolutely adores her, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves and understands cats. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter!
Jazz is absolutely fantastic, we came home to two very chilled, happy and contented cats, which says everything about the wonderful care she gave them. During each visit Jazz sent us photos and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. she has such a lovely calming effect on Turkish, our slightly hissy black cat who now adores her and that confidence has rubbed off on Monty our timid big ginger cat. Normally Monty hides upstairs for the entire holiday and doesn't interact with anyone, but this time he came downstairs and spent time with Jazz. It's clear that Jazz genuinely cares about the cats she looks after and we couldn't be happier with the care she gave our cats. We'll definitely ask her to look after them again for our next holiday. Thank you again Jazz
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the moment Bella walked in, my cats — who (one of them )is famously selective about humans — warmed to her instantly. She sent thoughtful updates every day, complete with photos and little notes about there mood and antics. I came home to a relaxed, happy cats. Her care goes far beyond the basics; she genuinely gets cats. Thank you so much ❤️
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!
Lauren was absolutely brilliant. It’s the first time we’ve used Rover, and she made us feel totally safe about leaving our cat in her care. We had daily updates and photos of him. And we just got home, and he’s looking very well looked after We will definitely be using this service again.
Sydney is great with our two cats, very attentive and good at keeping us updated. She let us know immediately when one of them had got a small scratch in a fight (they’re outdoor cats) and was able to manage it very well. Always a pleasure to know she’s looking after them, thank you!
Chenyan was fantastic. I reached out really last minute and she was able to facilitate a drop in visit. She even took the time to pop by on the morning of the day of sitting for a quick meet with myself and Buzz. Buzz instantly loved her and she kept me updated throughout the visit with lots of videos and photos. I’m definitely going to use Chenyan’s services again.
We had a great experience with Jade! She was incredibly kind, reliable, and clearly cared about our cats. While we were away, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. Communication was clear and timely, and we always felt confident that our cats were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Jade and would happily book again!
On meeting, Camilla gave an impression of warmth and competence and we felt confident that she would look after our two cats very well, including givng oral medication. Our trust was well placed and I hope that Camilla will be available next time we need her.

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.
