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!

Both my cats took to Megan from the moment they met her. Both enjoyed her morning and evening visits, and the lots of attention Megan provided. Megan provided comprehensive updates and photos of her visits and I found her completely trustworthy. I would absolutely recommend Megan as a cat sitter.

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’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: Animals have always been a part of my life, and that passion is now shared with my two young sons. Our current family includes two dogs—brothers we helped welcome into the world when I fostered their mother—and a once-stray cat. Now five years old, they are gentle, well-socialized, and wonderful companions. With years of experience caring for animals at every life stage, from bottle-feeding newborns to supporting senior pets, I understand the unique needs of each age. Whether it’s administering medication or providing extra comfort, your pet will be in capable and caring hands. Our home is a warm, safe space where pets are treated as family. We’d be honored to care for yours. I'm currently working part-time,so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I will take the pet out for walks 2-3 times a day to relieve themselves, with each walk lasting no less than 30 minutes. I will also feed the pet according to the owner's instructions—typically twice a day, unless otherwise specified. I'll take them out for walks 2–3 times a day, each at least 30 minutes, and spend time playing with them to build trust. My neighborhood has a large lawn where pets can run and play—I'm sure they'll love it here.

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.

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 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.

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. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, meals on schedule, plenty of attention, exercise where appropriate, and a safe, calm environment. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m attentive to changes in behaviour and will contact you immediately if I have any concerns. I treat every pet with the same care, patience and respect that I give to my own animals, and I’m commited to making sure they feel happy, safe and well looked after.

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.

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: Hi! I’ve been an avid animal lover ever since I was little, growing up with a wide range of pets, including turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cockatoos, and, of course, dogs. Currently, I share my life with a playful Jack Russell Terrier and a sweet Cocker Spaniel, so I fully understand the energy, patience, and love our furry family members need. What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion and hands-on experience with different animals, allowing me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs and quirks. Whether it’s a high-energy dog needing an engaging walk, a shy pup needing gentle reassurance, or small pets needing careful attention, I provide calm, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for, even when their owners are busy. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will treat your pets like my own, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whilst keeping you updated and sending you pictures of your happy pups! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently on my summer holiday from university so I have full flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the day. I can easily accommodate their routine giving them consistent attention while your away :) Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! At home, I ensure my Jack Russell Terrier and Cocker Spaniel have a safe, clean, and enriching environment with plenty of supervised playtime, secure spaces to relax, and daily walks to keep them happy and healthy. I apply the same level of care to the pets I look after, always keeping a close eye on their needs and ensuring they never feel lonely or stressed. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I am committed to providing updates and photos, so you always know your pets are safe, loved, and in good hands.

About: I grew up having a cat and then dogs as pets throughout my childhood and then as an adult. I am a qualified Veterinary Surgeons o I am confident in giving medication if needed. We are a family of 6 people and 1 little rescue dog. My husband and I have hybrid working situations which means that one of us is always working from home and therefore able to let dogs staying with us have company and toilet breaks easily. Money raised from dogs boarding with us between Easter 2026 and Harvest 2026 will be donated to our church for essential maintenance work. My husband and I work from home and the office. One of us is always around to provide company and toilet breaks. Dogs get walked twice daily for 30 mins-1 hr each time. We have a fully enclosed garden and live on a quiet cul-de-sac with a wood nearby for great walks. We have 3 children so there is always someone to give affection. we have our own little rescue dog who is approximately 2.5 years old who is very friendly.

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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
