“Trusting a stranger with your dog, personally for me , was quite an anxious experience. However, when Julie came round to visit Phoenix, I felt reassured and knew hundred percent that she was the one for Phoenix. Clearly, she has a love for dogs and from the communication I could tell that she had a lot of experience. Julie goes above and beyond and my dog loves going for walks with her. He has a great time and I can see this from the photos. I wouldn’t use anyone else.”


About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m a genuine animal lover and have always enjoyed having pets around. I’m offering a loving, relaxed home from home for dogs who need somewhere safe and caring to stay while their owners are away. I work from home most of the week, so your dog will have plenty of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. I love having a dog around while I work and would be very happy to have some extra four legged company in the house again! I have a lovely family home with a garden and enjoy getting out for walks, so there will be plenty of opportunity for exercise, fresh air, play and, of course, lots of cuddles and relaxing afterwards. I know that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether they love long walks and playing, prefer a quiet afternoon snoozing, or simply want to be close to you all the time, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I’m happy to look after dogs of different ages and personalities as long as they are friendly around children. I also understand how worrying it can be leaving your dog with someone else. I’ll keep you updated during their stay with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, settled and being well looked after. I’m only looking after one dog at a time, so they’ll get plenty of individual attention rather than feeling like one of many. I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet before their first stay if you would like, so we can get to know each other, chat about your dog and make sure they feel comfortable in my home. Most importantly, your dog will be treated like one of the family while they’re here. 🐶❤️ I’m currently working part time, with the majority of that being from home, I do attend the gym on a couple of evenings but would only be gone a couple of hours. My garden is completely secure, I would prefer the dog to be kept downstairs but if needed the dog could sleep in the bedroom, on the floor. If the dog is used to being crated I can accommodate this too.

“Mai and Jo have been fab with our nervous dog, Tilly. They are very patient and understanding and have put time into getting to know her to ensure they are all comfortable with each other before an upcoming house sit. She came back very happy from her walk today!”


About: Calm, capable, and consistent. I show up on time, send one photo per visit, and trust my gut. I walk at the dog’s pace, not mine. I bag every poop, avoid hot pavement, and never force a scared dog. I choose patience over punishment, and when in doubt, I sit down and wait. I’m not just a walker or sitter — I’m the steady presence their dog trusts while they’re away. I work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexible hours throughout the day to give your pet proper attention — not rushed, not squeezed in. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities — always. I adapt to your pet's routine, not mine. Feeding times, walk schedules, bedtimes — I follow your script so your pet feels minimal disruption. I keep your home secure — doors locked, windows closed, alarms set exactly as you leave them. I'll send you a quick text whenever I arrive and leave. I'm tidy and respectful — I clean up after myself, wipe my feet, wash any bowls I use, and leave your space exactly as I found it (or tidier). No strangers — I never bring guests, friends, or other pets into your home. It's just me and your pet. Emergency-ready — I have your vet's number, your emergency contact, and a clear plan for accidents, escapes, or illness. I also carry a basic pet first aid kit in my bag.

About: I am a reliable and caring dog lover with many years of hands-on experience. I have owned and cared for dogs since the age of 14, giving me a strong understanding of their needs, behaviour, and wellbeing. I offer dog walking and dog sitting services, ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to providing a safe, happy, and trustworthy service. Although I don't currently have a dog of my own, this is mainly due to having a large family and the commitments that come with it. However, I have owned and cared for dogs since I was 14 and genuinely miss having them around. We have also donated to the charity Guide Dogs for many years. Caring for dogs brings me a lot of enjoyment, which is why I offer dog walking and pet sitting services. Part of the week, my blended family stays with their other parent, which gives me plenty of free time, flexibility, and attention to dedicate to caring for pets. This means I can provide dogs with the companionship, exercise, and care they need in a safe and loving environment. I can prioritise walks before and after work and I work from home twice per week where I can ensure pets receive consistent care, exercise, and affection within your home or mine. I am available for walks and check ins, doggy daycare within your home or mine and overnight stays (mainly weekends) where possible. Please connect with me to ask about availability as I can try to accommodate outside of my calendar schedule. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for all pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in the owner's home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication requirements, and any specific instructions. I ensure pets have plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision, while keeping their environment clean, secure, and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and owners is very important to me, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: Hi! My name is Meg, I’m 30 and half Scottish, half Italian. I grew up around animals through my family’s farming lifestyle, which gave me a genuine love for animals and the outdoors.I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around dogs and cats. I’ve cared for multiple Border Collies over the years, including having them stay with me, and I’ve also looked after French Bulldogs and Grey Hounds. Growing up, I always had pets around me, including my Border Collie Whisky, a mongrel called Billo, a cat named Midnight, and a rabbit called Cookie, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. So I understand how much love, attention and care dogs need. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but with my current working hours, I’m not able to give one the time and attention they deserve. That’s why I’ve decided to become a pet sitter — it gives me the opportunity to spend time with dogs, give them lots of love and care, and hopefully give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own! 🐾❤️ I work full-time, but I have two days off each week and my days off vary depending on my rota. I’m happy to plan bookings around my work schedule and can dedicate my days off to caring for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and I’d also be happy to look after your animals for the full day when needed. I’m very flexible and will always make sure your pets receive plenty of care, attention and love. I am aware that every pet has its own routine and things that they prefer so I’m happy to work around all needs. I wouldn’t let any dog off leash unless it’s safe to do so.

About: Hi, I’m 25 and live in my own home with my boyfriend Jack and our Dutch Shepherd, Jett, who is a huge part of our lives and truly our pride and joy. I work from home full-time, which means I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. I offer dog sitting and doggy daycare in my home, dog walking and drop-in visits, giving you flexible options depending on what your dog needs. I don’t currently offer overnight boarding, as I feel many dogs are more comfortable and settled either spending the day with me or staying in their own familiar home overnight. My boyfriend has experience with obedience training, and together we’ve put a lot of time and effort into training Jett, including working on his reactivity and teaching him a variety of commands and tricks. This has given us a good understanding of the importance of patience, consistency and positive training when caring for dogs. I’ve also grown up around dogs, including a Beagle, American Bulldog and Cocker Spaniel, so I’m familiar with different breeds, personalities and the different ways dogs can behave. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs, taken them for walks and looked after them when needed. Having Jett of our own has given me even more hands-on experience and taught me how important it is to understand each dog as an individual. Having recently looked for a dog sitter ourselves, I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your dog. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality and needs, and I’ll always do my best to keep things consistent and make them feel comfortable and settled. Whether your dog needs some company while you’re at work, a good walk, a drop-in visit or somewhere to spend the day, I aim to provide a calm, safe and loving environment where they’ll receive plenty of attention and care. Your dog will be treated as one of the family, with their wellbeing, comfort and happiness always being my priority. Most importantly, I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, caring and trustworthy hands. At home, we follow a structured but relaxed routine, and dogs staying with us for daycare can easily fit into our day. Our mornings start early, with my boyfriend getting up at around 5:30am and letting Jett out for a toilet break, followed by his morning walk around 30 minutes later. Once we’re back home, Jett has his breakfast and settles into a calm morning routine with me while I work from home. As I work from home every day, dogs in our care are never left alone and will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. They’re welcome to relax with me while I work, have cuddles, play with toys or simply settle down for a nap. We have a calm home environment and are happy to follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. Jett is a very affectionate dog who loves being around us and enjoys cuddles, playtime and relaxing at home. He has plenty of toys and enjoys interactive play throughout the day. Due to Jett being an active breed, we have a good amount of exercise built into our routine, including a mid-day walk and a longer evening walk. However, we always take each dog’s individual age, breed, energy levels and needs into consideration rather than expecting every dog to follow Jett’s routine. We’re also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, toilet and walking schedule wherever possible, so they can enjoy a familiar routine while they’re with us. At weekends, we enjoy exploring local woods, hills and other dog-friendly places, as well as spending relaxed time at home and in the garden. We can also provide dog walking and drop-in visits if your dog would be happier staying in their own home. Our aim is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe and included, whether they’re spending the day with us or we’re visiting them in their own home. Every dog is treated as an individual, with plenty of love, attention and care throughout their time with us. As mentioned, I work from home full-time, so dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, so I always aim to follow each dog’s individual routine as closely as possible. This includes their usual feeding times, toilet breaks, walks, rest periods and any training or behavioural needs. I believe consistency is really important in helping dogs feel comfortable and settled, particularly when they are spending time away from their owners. For dogs attending daycare or being cared for in my home, there is a safe and relaxed environment where they can rest, play, have cuddles and receive plenty of interaction throughout the day. I’m happy to provide toys and enrichment suited to each dog, while also making sure they have quiet time when they need it. Our own dog, Jett, is used to being around other dogs, but I understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. Any introductions are handled carefully and gradually, with the dogs’ individual needs and safety always coming first. Walks are tailored to each dog’s age, breed, energy levels and ability. This could be a shorter local walk, a longer outing or simply some play and mental stimulation at home, depending on what is most appropriate for them. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits, so if your dog is more comfortable staying in their own home, I can provide care in their familiar environment instead. My aim is to provide reliable, caring and personalised support, whether your dog is spending the day with me, going out for a walk or receiving a visit at home. I want every owner to have complete peace of mind knowing their dog is being treated with the same care and attention I would want for Jett.
About: We both grew up with dogs and cats and now have two animal loving children (age 9 and 7) who would love nothing more than to love your pet! We have found we are all so much happier with a pet in the house, they make the house a home and until we get our own we love looking a variety of pets. I am usually at home but when in the office (can be up to 3 days per week), I work locally and will be home for lunch breaks to walk/visit pets 1-2pm and my husband Andy is home from 430pm each day. The remaining days (usually Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) I will be 100% home or out and about with your doggie! We are lucky to have a secure fenced back garden and extensive walking tracks across the road from our home as well as all around us in beautiful Worcestershire.
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and currently have my own Golden Retriever, Cleo, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I have experience looking after dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m also comfortable giving medication when needed and following any specific instructions or routines your dog has. I like to make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, so long walks are guaranteed rather than just quick toilet breaks. I also have a large, fully fenced garden with access throughout the day, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, play or simply relax outside. I’m fairly flexible with dates and times and will always try to work around you and your dog’s routine. I’m also more than happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so you can meet me, Cleo and see where your dog will be staying. I think it’s important that everyone is comfortable and that the dogs are a good match. Most importantly, I treat every dog as an individual and want them to feel safe, settled and well looked after while they’re with me. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine as I already spend time each day looking after animals and making sure they get the attention and care they need. I’m able to plan my day around drop-in visits, which means I can make sure your cat is fed, comfortable, and given some company while you’re away. I’m happy to keep to your cat’s usual routine so everything feels as normal as possible for them. I also enjoy spending time with animals, so visits are never rushed and your cat will always receive patient and attentive care. When caring for cats in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning the litter box, and giving plenty of attention and gentle play. I pay close attention to each cat’s personality – whether they enjoy cuddles, toys, or quiet company – and adjust my approach to make them feel safe and relaxed. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can see that your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate your pets routine

About: Experienced & Caring Pet Sitter I've been pet sitting for six years. I have a passion for animals a nature and I love taking care of them and spending time with them. I’m a caring, reliable, and experienced pet sitter who loves animals and nature. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, parrots, rabbits, and hamsters. I’ve also looked after different dog breeds, from smaller breeds such as Maltese and Yorkies to larger breeds such as German Shepherds. I work part-time from home, which means I have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with the pets in my care. I prefer to care for a small number of pets at once so I can give each one plenty of attention and individual care. 🐕 Daily Routine I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and plenty of companionship. Pets are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they receive regular attention throughout the day.

I like going on walks in nature from 30 minutes to 1 hour. My home provides a calm, welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable.

I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with messages and photos while they’re in my care. ❤️

“My dog is really anxious and can be reactive to other dogs without careful management. My dog warmed to Alex straight away. She really took the time to get to know him and his routines and had an amazingly successful walk! Thank you Alex!”


About: I don’t just "watch" pets; I aim to be their favorite person while you’re away. Having grown up with dogs, including my uncle’s Black Lab, Stitch, who was like my own, I’ve developed a deep, intuitive sense of what animals need to feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my undivided attention and sensitivity. I’m highly adaptable to an animal's specific "battery" levels. On one hand, I’m the primary playmate for my dad’s dog, Sonny - a typical hyperactive pup who rarely gets tired, but neither do I! I’m always happy to keep the game of fetch going or go for that extra-long walk😊 On the other hand, I have a deep soft spot for seniors. I have a "granny" cat back home (Sprite) who still thinks she’s a kitten, so I’m very comfortable providing the patient, tender care that older pets require. Whether your pet needs a high-energy workout or a quiet, calm companion to give them constant cuddles, I respect their routine and their character above all else. I began my dog-sitting journey at 18 caring for my neighbors' dogs, and I have continued it on and off ever since. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Since I don’t have fixed working days, I can adapt my availability depending on your needs, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I usually prefer one to two weeks’ notice when possible, just so I can plan ahead and make sure I can give your pet my full attention. That said, I’m always happy to chat about last-minute requests and see if I can accommodate. I’m available for pet sitting in Glasgow city and surrounding areas that are reachable by public transport, and I always try to be as flexible and accommodating as possible, because I truly enjoy this work. When caring for pets, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you're away. I always start by getting as much information as possible from the owner (things like their routine, personality, feeding schedule, and how much exercise or playtime they usually like). This helps me keep things consistent and stress-free for your pet. For dogs, I love going on long walks and adjusting the activity level depending on their energy, whether they’re super playful or prefer a slower pace. With cats, I enjoy engaging them with small games, while also respecting their space and quiet time. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I treat both your pet and your space with care and respect. I stick closely to your instructions, keep their routine as normal as possible, and I’m always happy to send frequent updates/have videocalls so you know how they’re doing. My goal is simply to make your pet feel happy and cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you're away.

Stephanie was a great help when I had to be away from home longer than I like to leave Frankie on his own. Stephanie kept me updated on arrival, photos of the walk and how much Frankie enjoyed it. She's very reliable and I will definitely be asking her again 😀

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Worcester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Worcester after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
You can find dog walkers on Rover who have experience of walking dogs across a wide range of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Each walker's experience and the dogs they're comfortable handling will vary.
When searching for a walker, use the dog-size filter and select either 18–45 kg or 45+ kg. Then review walker profiles and verified reviews for experience with dogs of a similar size, strength, temperament, and energy level.
Before booking, tell the walker your dog’s breed and weight, how they walk on a lead, their usual pace and commands, any triggers, and how they react to other dogs, people and traffic. Explain any walking equipment or handling instructions the walker will need to follow.
Complete your dog's profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before the first walk. These steps can help you and the walker confirm that they're a good match for your dog.
Every walker must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the walker is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go through your pet's routine, medical needs and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
