About: Hello, I’m a BIG lover of dogs and their individual personalities. We had a family Labrador called Baileys who loved beach walks. I’ve co-parented a Pug called Darcie, who became disabled (her back legs buckled) and I took her for walks in a doggy rucksack, which she loved! Also, before they moved to Scotland, I was an auntie to my friend’s French Bulldog called Travis, who’s a rescue. I currently look after a French Bulldog called Tina. Therefore, I have experience with a diverse range of dogs, including dogs with disabilities as well as nervous, reactive dogs. Being a lover of the outdoors and nature, I enjoy taking dogs out for walks and on little adventures. I believe in giving all dogs the best quality of life and would love the opportunity to be a part of their doggy journey. I work at a local university and work from home a lot, so I’m open to a dog keeping me company at my ground floor flat where I live alone with no pets, and have a front garden. I also have spare time some evenings and weekends, and am open to looking after dogs in owners’ homes overnight and for holidays. I’m happy to answer any questions you have and I look forward to hearing from you and your fur baby. I work from home 4 days a week (days vary), and can take your fur baby to the toilet when needed during this time, and for a walk at lunch and/or after work. At weekends I like to get out in nature and would be happy to take them with me to enjoy the outdoors. I have an unfenced front garden (where I would keep your fluffy one on a lead if required, or would supervise them if they can be off-lead). I live in 2 bedroom flat where I live alone, so lots of space for your fluffy one to be free with me.
“Georgina was very easy to communicate with, followed all our requests, and looked after our cats very well. We received lots of photos of the cats playing while we were away, which was very reassuring! Very happy overall.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life! At my family home, we had a golden retriever and retriever/lab cross who I walked and looked after. I now have my own dog Winnie (a super friendly golden retriever) who I have raised and trained since she was a puppy and cat Rupert who we recently adopted. I regularly look after my parents’ dog and my siblings’ dogs too, both overnight and for walks during the day. I work from home so have plenty of time to play with, cuddle and walk your dog. I walk my own dog twice a day so dog walking fits easily into my schedule. I’m free most weekends to look after your dog overnight. I live with my boyfriend who might join us on walks occasionally. I have a fenced garden and my very friendly Winnie to keep your dog company. I also have a lovely cat called Rupert, who will pop in to say hello but stays mostly to himself in the daytime. I don’t have dogs upstairs or on the furniture but they’re free to roam around the downstairs and garden as they please!
“Sian was absolutely brilliant with Tayto, very attentive and spent a lot of time with enrichment activities. We were so lucky to find Sian at short notice, great job! Thanks so much!”

“Amie, looked after my boys for. Few days and a special bond was made which made them feel settled in her care. I guess, by returning I upset the routine she had with them. They were well looked at her. I would recommend Amie to anyone, and of course when the need arises use her again.”

About: RSPCA Mount Noddy volunteer walker Hearing dogs for deaf people assisting Dogs in the family always Help with raising puppies I’m reliable, patient, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, so whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just having some company and affection, I’d be happy to help. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine as I’m already active, organised, and enjoy spending time outdoors. I structure my days so I have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or pet visits, especially in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy being outside and staying active, so incorporating dog walking or pet care feels like a natural part of my lifestyle rather than a chore. I also have experience volunteering at Mount Noddy RSPCA, where I regularly helped walk and care for multiple dogs. This taught me how to manage time effectively and be reliable with scheduled commitments, even when handling different dogs with varying needs. Overall, I make sure I only commit to pet care when I can give each dog proper attention, care, and consistency. I’m organised, dependable, and always prioritise the wellbeing of the animals I look after. I always care for pets with the same attention and responsibility as if they were my own. When looking after a dog in the owner’s home or taking them out for walks, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure the dog feels comfortable and secure, especially in a familiar environment, and I take time to build trust and understand their personality. I have experience handling a variety of dogs through volunteering at Mount Noddy RSPCA, where I regularly walked multiple dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. This has taught me how to stay calm, alert, and in control in different situations, whether a dog is energetic, nervous, or reactive. Safety is always my top priority. I ensure leads, harnesses, and gates are secure, and I’m careful during walks to avoid unsafe situations. I also pay attention to the dog’s behaviour and wellbeing throughout, making sure they are happy, hydrated, and not overexerted. Because I’ve grown up around dogs and have supported puppy care through family volunteering with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, I’m also confident helping with basic training reinforcement, socialisation, and gentle handling of puppies. Overall, I aim to provide a calm, reliable, and caring presence so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
“Courtney was a pleasure to deal with and looked after Dylan extremely well. She responded to our request immediately and we were able to have a short in-person meeting before the sit to explain how to look after Dylan. It was a short drop-in visit while we were out for the evening and she arrived on-time and spent a full hour with Dylan, sending us a lovely note afterwards to update us. Would highly recommend.”

About: I've been a dog owner for 28 years but a dog lover for longer! Due to my love of dogs, I have become an informal dog sitter for friends, family and neighbours over the last 10 years and I find walking them like my own personal therapy session! I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their individual personalities and needs. Recently returned from a working holiday abroad, and looking for work so available during the week and on the weekends. When I restart work I will be available on weekends. I have a large enclosed rear garden accessible via a locked side door. I also have a friendly older dog that gets on well with other dogs.

About: Hi all, I am a 7 year qualified veterinary nurse who previously worked with rescue dogs at the Dogs Trust for 4 years prior to my nurse training, so I am happy working alongside nervous dogs or those with quirks! I am also comfortable applying ear/eye drops, skin treatments, oral medication and insulin injections if required. I am an emergency and critical care out of hours vet nurse, with a rota that allows 6-7 days off after each block of nights, I am offering 2-3 days within that week off to help others with their pet care. As a qualified vet nurse I can administer first aid and CPR. I also have a vehicle to transport pets to your vets if needed. I also would like to arrange a visit with yourselves and your pet first, to ensure I can meet your requirements and so I am clear on your instructions as after all, you know your pet the best! I am looking into public liability insurance so will have this in place prior to any pet sitting or dog walking arrangements, I am also more than happy to provide photos and videos of your pet during my visits/walks so that you have peace of mind that your pets are happy whilst you're not with them ❤️

About: Hey, I'm Jackie. I've loved and been surrounded by dogs most of my life. :) Growing up, my family bred dachshunds. From a young age, I pet-sat and dog-walked for my neighbour's pets. My first official job was in a mall pet shop, bathing dogs and cleaning cages. In college, I worked at a doggy daycare that looked after dogs of all sizes and breeds. I'm now the proud mom to two small rescue dogs (Maggie & Mango). I also have experience working with cats, small rodents, birds and exotic animals (I've had two pet hedgehogs and have looked after bearded dragons). I'm more than happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to get to know you and your pet before booking. I know how important it is to find the perfect person to take care of your best friend, and I would love to be that person! :) As a freelance voiceover artist, I have a flexible schedule. I'm available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can easily fit your pet care into my routine and will do my best to accommodate your needs. Currently based in Worthing. I am more than happy to care for your pet in your home and will follow any rules or guidelines you have (ie dogs not allowed in bed or on the sofa). My husband and I can also look after pets in our home. We're both freelancers, so home at all hours. We have a fully enclosed garden, and we also live near lots of lovely dog parks. Please note that we have two rescue dogs of our own. Maggie loves to play with new visitors, but Mango does not care to socialise. All dogs will have constant supervision.

“Elise has been amazing with our dog Mila! She’s super reliable, really caring, and Mila absolutely loves her. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in great hands, couldn’t recommend her more!”


About: I previously had my own Fox Terrier and have many years of experience living with and caring for dogs. When he was young, I undertook six months of structured training with Applied Canine Behaviourist and professional dog trainer Julie Hindle. The experience gave me a good understanding of canine behaviour and body language, and taught me the importance of calm, confident and consistent handling. I now regularly walk and care for dogs for friends, including having dogs stay with me for several weeks at a time. I enjoy getting to know each dog's individual character and adapting my approach to their temperament, age and needs. I live on my own without pets or children, so I can offer visiting dogs a quiet environment with plenty of individual attention. I work independently and have a flexible daily routine, so I can adapt walks and care around a dog's usual schedule. I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors, and having a dog with me fits naturally into my day. When a dog stays with me, I am able to give them plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I take time to understand each dog's normal routine, temperament and boundaries, and aim to keep their care as familiar and consistent as possible. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour, particularly when meeting other dogs or encountering unfamiliar situations. I also have hands-on experience with basic grooming, including brushing, coat care, nail trimming and general hygiene, and am comfortable handling dogs calmly during grooming.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, German Shepherd, Labrado, Zshitzu, sausage dog etc… as well as cats, hamsters and fish. I can play, feed, take for walks, cuddle etc.we’ve taken care of a hoglet that lost its mummy and rescued it. I work flexi hours from home, so available mon- friday. Also able to offer full board during the week or at weekends. I live close to the green, 4 parks, sea front, and the Downs, so plenty of walkies for dogs. I have a small fenced garden that dog/pet can use for toilet breaks. I can create a crate for your pet if needed. I work from home everyday, so i am available through out.I have a 13 years old active daughter who loves animals and would love to keep your pet busy after school.
About: I have always had a great love for dogs and having finally got one of my own in 2018 (Wilbur) I have been absolutely besotted since! As well as my own personal experience with an excitable, lazy and crazy Jack Russell I have also worked in two veterinary practices as a veterinary care assistant so I have had plenty of hands on experience with all different breeds and feel confident around animals of all species. I have been dog sitting/walking now for just under 2 years I am currently not working meaning I am extremely flexible and able to take on various commitments. Other than my own little dog wilbs I have no other responsibilities at this moment in time therefore I’m able to cater to what Is needed. I am more than happy doing any duration of home visits whether this be to go for walks, feed or house sit . Your pet will always be my main priority.

Freddie and we were extremely happy with the care and sitting he received by Jodie while we enjoyed our holiday. Jodie looked after him very well and made sure his bowl was always filled up. Which of course didn't stop Freddie to berate us for hours in our return and also to pretend he'd never been fed in the entire time... anyway, thank you Jodie and see you again soon I'm sure.
Amie, looked after my boys for. Few days and a special bond was made which made them feel settled in her care. I guess, by returning I upset the routine she had with them. They were well looked at her. I would recommend Amie to anyone, and of course when the need arises use her again.

This was our first time using Chelsey we need not have worried! She was great looking after our 2 elderly cats. She called twice a day to feed and do medicines as well as cuddles too. We were kept updated with a few pics as well. We will definitely be using Chelsry again.

Not having left Bella on her own before I was reassured by the messages and pictures Ellen sent me daily. I could see Bella was being looked after very well and was getting lots of cuddles. I came home to a very contented cat! I would definitely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

Lois is a very friendly, knowledgeable and reliable sitter! She made sure our elderly cat was well looked after whilst we were away, giving her medication and following a fairly fiddly food routine to keep her happy and healthy. Our cat immediately took to Lois and we’d happily book her again.

We can’t thank Tim enough for stepping in at the last minute to look after our beloved cat, Poe! As first-time users of the app, we were a little nervous as we’ve always relied on friends and family for cat sitting. But the moment we met Tim, all our worries disappeared. He instantly put us at ease, and it was obvious that Poe was in the best hands. Throughout our trip, Tim sent us the sweetest updates along with lots of adorable photos, which made us smile every time. It was such a comfort knowing Poe was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. We honestly can’t recommend Tim highly enough. There’s a reason he’s a star-sitter. Thanks again, Tim. Poe can’t wait for your next visit! ⭐🐱

Courtney was a pleasure to deal with and looked after Dylan extremely well. She responded to our request immediately and we were able to have a short in-person meeting before the sit to explain how to look after Dylan. It was a short drop-in visit while we were out for the evening and she arrived on-time and spent a full hour with Dylan, sending us a lovely note afterwards to update us. Would highly recommend.

Sian continues to be an excellent carer for Woodie, she is completely reliable, helps me out with short notice bookings. She is very observant of Woodies needs depending on his energy levels etc. Sian is a great communicator and gives me lovely detailed and amusing updates of his day! But most of all Woodie absolutely loved her!

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.
