Andra was fantastic with my two German shepherds Tara and Ben totally reliable and did everything I asked even cleaned up after them. They are big dogs but she handled them very well. I would love to use Andra again the dogs loved her and the photos and updates were wonderful I had no worries whilst I was away.

I am so happy I found Nancy. She is a lovely, caring lady. I know coconut was looked after and was a weight off our shoulders leaving her home alone during the new year celebrations. I will definitely be in touch again very soon to ask for help with coconut.

About: As an animal lover with many years of hands-on experience caring for pets I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I’ve owned and cared for cats since I was a teenager, including several litters of kittens, and I currently look after my son’s cats whenever he is away on business or holiday. This has given me extensive experience with feeding, playtime, companionship, litter care, and making sure cats feel comfortable in their own home. I also have experience walking and caring for friends’ dogs while they have been on holiday or attending events such as weddings, so only away a long day. This has included regular twice-daily walks, feeding, and giving owners complete peace of mind that their dogs are receiving the care, exercise, and attention they need. Friends and family trust me with both their homes and their much-loved pets because I am reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I will care for them as if they were my own. I would be available 7 days a week. If you wanted dogs walked twice a day I can do that, plus feeding of course! Cats I would expect if you were away that I would visit twice every day. Staying as long as you require but no less than half an hour to give time for a cuddle and chat. Walks can be as long or as short as your dog requires and I am happy to walk for up to an hour or more. I am happy to drive to parks your pet is used to and I live near a very lovely area which is popular for doggies. Or if you have an older dog which requires short walks or even time just at home in the garden and some fussing, also happy to do that. Cats I am more than happy to spend time with them beyond just coming into feed them if that is what you would want. If they like being groomed or playing with their toys I love to do that. I would be happy to administer medication to your pet, after talking to you about the way you usually do so. I would expect to have up to date health information supplied to me, with details of your vet, any allergies or special requirements. In an emergency I would call the vet and of course yourselves. I drive so would easily be able to get your pet to the vet at anytime. I do not panic and would make your pet safe and comfortable whilst being advised by the vet on phone or getting them directly to the vet. I am not squeamish so if your pet was out on a walk with me and trod on anything that may cause a problem I am more than able to deal with minor injuries and then get it checked out at vets. I offer a friendly, DBS checked, dependable, and caring service, with regular updates and photos if you’d like them, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have taken early retirement and am available at anytime that best suits you and your pets. I am happy to visit twice a day or spend time with your pet. I cannot accommodate in my own home. I would of course fit in with what you needed for your pet/s be they cats or dogs.

About: Always loved cats growing up and have volunteered two summers at a doggy daycare in the United States. Looking for a release from work and as I can't own a dog myself. I work 9-5 most weekdays sometimes from home, I am available after work and available most weekends apart for 3pm on Saturdays for football. I have a fenced garden with roommates who previously owned dogs in the house and a large living room, bedroom and kitchen to relax in.

About: I've had dogs since I was 12 and have cared for all kinds, including former strays, rescues, and dogs who were deaf or blind. I now have a lovely dog, well-mannered and respectful Toto, who is a much-loved member of our family. Although I can't have more dogs permanently at the moment, I love looking after our friends' dogs whenever I can. I've been dog sitting for years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Every dog is treated like one of the family, with lots of love and care. I'm working part-time nearby so I have plenty of time for nice long walks in the fields and woods behind our house. I'm lucky to live in such a beautiful area and it's so wonderful to go exploring with the four legged friends I have a fenced off garden and endless walks at our doorstep. 3 nice walks a day guaranteed. And if your dog likes swimming, there is a river not too far. Doggies are allowed everywhere in the house, just not beds.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, helping friends and family with pets of all sizes and breeds. I’m comfortable looking after multiple dogs at once and always make sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs — playing with them, taking them on long walks, and giving them lots of affection so they feel happy and comfortable. I’m patient and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after while they’re with me. I also have a dog of my own back home in Canada who is 14 years old. Caring for him as he’s gotten older has given me experience with senior dogs and the extra patience and care they sometimes need. I’m currently studying in the UK, but my love for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’m in school Monday–Wednesday until 4pm, available after. Open availability Thursday–Sunday, though this may vary depending on the month and my school commitments. I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable by following the owner’s instructions, maintaining routines, providing fresh water, exercise, attention, and keeping the environment clean and secure. 🐾

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have shared my life with many over the years. Each one taught me something different about care, patience, and the special bond that grows when you spend time with animals. That connection is what motivates me to be a pet sitter and walker. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets as if they were your own, and that’s exactly what I offer. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience administering medication, whether it’s tablets, liquid medicine, or topical treatments. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they feel calm and cared for during the process. I can also help with feeding routines, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and providing lots of playtime and affection. I enjoy spending time outdoors, and walking dogs combines two of my favourite things, fresh air and happy, wagging tails! Besides the pet sitting, I also work as a caregiver during the day. For overnight sitting, I may need to pop out every now and then. I am happy to offer walks, home visits, or overnight stays. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, and for everyone’s safety, I only accept vaccinated pets into my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years via Rover or Family and Friends, all types of dogs. Experience with all types of dogs and needs. A dog being comfortable, excited and fulfilled after my care is very important so I aim to have only 1 or 2 dogs at a time unless they are familiar with each other I am based from home full time. I only show available if i am able to be around 24/7, to care for your 4 legged companion 😁 i am currently taking a course to offer specific Dog training. I have a secure and fenced garden, stair gates if required and plenty of space for the dog to rest and/or sleep. Lots of toys too. I also only accept 1 or 2 dogs at time so I can provide commited care.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Axelle is the only person I would ever trust with my cat again. This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Pillow with anyone. Axelle made it easy. He took to her so completely that he started waiting for her on the stairs before her visits. Cats don't do that for people they tolerate. They do it for people they have chosen. He chose her. The trip was horrible. Halfway through, my flight got rescheduled by several days for medical reasons, and Axelle adjusted with grace, kindness, and zero complication — moved visits, communicated clearly, made it feel like she was on my team rather than putting up with an inconvenient client. She kept me updated, sent photos and videos, and genuinely engaged with Pillow as a person rather than a job. What I realised in this trip is that Axelle cares. Properly cares. Not professional warmth — actual investment in the wellbeing of an animal she has been entrusted with. My cat was safe with her in a way that let me handle a brutal week without ever once worrying about him. If you are reading this trying to decide who to book — book Axelle. She is the rare person who treats your pet like family while you are gone, and treats you with the same kindness when life throws something difficult into the middle of the booking. Five stars is not enough. I would give ten.

About: I've owned dogs my whole life. At the age of 12, I took on the responsibility of walking our family dog; the same dog has passed away now, but my passion for animal care remains. This love for dog care then branched out into caring for family dogs, then for family friends' dogs, and then finally into caring for neighbours' dogs. I also have a knack for training, and had taught the family dog several commands using treats and rewards; I've definitely proven that you can teach an old dog new tricks! I'm extremely flexible with my schedule as I'm currently unemployed. I do have a physical disability but this doesn't stop me from taking on jobs. I have a fenced garden if my home needs to be used, though I always prefer to care for a dog in its own home if possible. We also have rabbits who live in the garden but both of them reside in their own secure hutches. I always feed a dog what they're used to in order to avoid upsetting their digestive system.

Megan and Hannah are amazing, kind and caring people who have a passions for looking after pets. Coco (my cat) warmed to them and was well looked after in their care. They made sure Coco was fed, hydrated, and fussed over during the visits and they also emptied her litter tray. They also sent pictures of Coco which I really appreciated. And a bonus, they looked after Coco over Christmas which was perfect so couldn’t really ask for more. I’d highly recommend their services and will use their services again in the future. Wishing them all the best x

About: I have a four years old dog, I've got experiences of training and taking care of them, from house training to walking. I enjoy every moment staying with these lovely furry friends. I'm currently working part time, mostly only up to two days per week, hence I have lots of time taking care of their daily routine. Most of the time I will be satying at home for the whole day. I have a fenced garden to make sure there's no possibility of dogs escaping from the garden. The house has carpet with spaces for running around is good for their joints.

About: I have been caring for cats and dogs for over 25 years and have experience looking after pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens through to elderly animals in their later years. During that time, I have learnt that every animal has their own personality, routine and preferences, and I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. I am confident administering medication when required and understand the importance of patience, consistency and following an owner’s instructions carefully. I am equally happy caring for indoor or outdoor cats, as well as dogs who need walks, exercise and stimulation, and I appreciate how important it is to maintain their usual routine while their owners are away. As a lifelong animal lover, animal welfare has always been very important to me. I will care for your cats and dogs as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection and thoughtful care while you have complete peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and at weekends, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll work with you to ensure they receive the care they’re used to while you’re away. I know that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s usual routine to help them feel relaxed and secure. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, medication, playtime or simply providing company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages for complete peace of mind.

Emma is TERRIFIC. I commend her without reservation. She is extremely conscientious and precise, and looked after both my cats (one requiring medicine twice daily) with plenty of pics and feedback. Emma is kind and gentle and a thoughtful person… She’s also a Student, and in these harsh times it’s worth supporting our local people in further Education, to the hilt. You’ll be happy and grateful if she agrees to step in and look after your precious pets. Thanks Emma! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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 Wycombe 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!

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.
