“Ruta was excellent at taking care of our 3 pets & our home. She gave informative updates & lovely photos throughout our holiday which made us able to relax and enjoy ourselves. She takes the time to understand the usual routines & make sure the pets are happy & stimulated. We highly recommend Ruta & we would definitely book her again.”
“Ash looked after our dog Milo for the first time this weekend. She arranged a meet and greet before hand and even a trial walk. Ash followed all our instructions and kept us regularly updated via photos and videos. Milo had lots of long walks and was very content when we got home. Thank you,we would definitely have you to look after milo again.”
“Nicole is great with anxious older dogs. So calm and loving and listens to their needs - both what I said about her but responding to her too. I felt our Ruby was in wonderful hands. She's also flexible and reliable. A real gem.”
“Alina is a lovely person and clearly has an affinity with animals. She house sat my 2 dogs ( one young and one old) and when I returned my dogs were very happy relaxed and contented. My house was as I left it - thank you Alina 😊🙏🏼”
About: I have had pets all my life, I have recently moved back into my family home, due to completing my masters, where I have 5 dogs. I have experience with pet sitting and have previously pet sat for two weeks I am at university from 9 till 5, but can care for pets before and after work. I don’t work weekends so I would be perfect to look after your pets if you want a weekend away or the week! In previous sittings, I have treated the home and the pets as if they were my own. When leaving the house I make sure it’s how I found it. I really appreciate lists , I believe it makes me more comfortable as well as the pet owner/home owner. I would also ask that I have the details for the pets vets, in case of an emergency and if the owners would like , I can send daily pet updates! I also wanted to add that I am not insured so please bear that in mind if you would like to use my services.😁 I am able to provide different schedules depending on your pets needs, I can provide needed exercise for high energy dogs as well as accommodate for those who need bathroom breaks and sofa snuggles ❤️ I have experience with looking after dogs that have special requirements, and administering medication. I am fully open to looking after animals with incontinence, I know it can be an issue for some people but it’s not an issue for me !
“Courtnay was fantastic with my dog (and tortoise!) whilst we were on holiday. She adapted her care to the weather getting her out nice and early before it was too hot, and kept us regularly updated. Rhubarb was very happy and content when we got home and seemed to enjoy her stay with Courtnay very much. Courtnay also kept the house clean and tidy to come home to after our holiday. We’ll certainly book again, thank you Courtnay!”
About: I knew straight from before i started school that i wanted to work with animals, so that’s what i pursued. I have always had pets growing up since i could walk and have taken care of them, these pets have been from snakes, ducks to stick insects to dogs and cats etc - training (a wide variety of tricks and commands) and raising every pet myself. In addition to that i have had family and friends rely on me to care and dog sit their pets along with some training of my own pets. I am most passionate about all animals and have studied animal welfare in college for 2 years and i have studied dog grooming level 2 in college for the 3rd year so i have a LOT of experience with all kinds of animals. In addition, I foster cats and kittens for the RSPCA which requires administering medications, giving them the love they deserve and special routines for every individual cat. I have always loved animals and know how to care and read their behaviour accordingly no matter the breed or animal :) . I am currently looking for a job and applying to different places but right now I volunteer at a hospital cafe every Tuesday. But other than that I care for foster cats/kittens all hours of the day whenever I can as they need my upmost attention. I will not be able to board your pets and my home as i live with my family until i’m on my feet and they wouldn’t be happy with that. Besides that i will care for your animals with the most love for them and make sure they are in the safest environment and situations possible at all times at your home or on walks.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have shared my home with several for most of my life, including cats, dogs and horses. I’ve spent several years teaching riding and also worked in the Safari Park for a while, looking after many different types of animals. I've always owned large dogs but have also cared for many other breeds over the last few years, mostly in their own homes, and have loved every experience. I’m currently taking some time out to do a PhD remotely and have complete flexibility to fit around your animals’ needs and routines. I am currently taking some time out to do a PhD remotely which gives me complete flexibility to fit around your pets’ needs and routines. I will fit into the routine your pets are used to, to ensure that they are cared for in the best possible way. At mine, I have a fully fenced garden and easy access to a number of lovely dog walks.
About: I've had pets for all my life, i'm experienced in animal care including horses. I'm trust worthy, organised animal lover with animal 1st aid knowledge. I'm currently working part time from home so can be flexible for animal care and house sitting. Available during the week and some weekends. I take safety and security very seriously. The care of the pet within the home is the utmost priority. The animals are treated like my own.
About: I’m Holly, the owner of Holly & Hounds Pet Care, my small, personal dog care business based in Great Witley, Worcestershire. I offer one-to-one dog walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, with a focus on calm, individual care that helps each dog feel safe, comfortable and understood. I’m a lifelong animal lover with around ten years’ experience caring for dogs, including private pet sitting and volunteering as a Canine Carer with Dogs Trust. I also have my own dog, Luna, who inspired the Holly & Hounds logo. I’ve completed training in canine behaviour and welfare, giving me a good understanding of canine body language and the importance of adapting care to the individual dog. My approach is calm, patient and personal. I only care for one household at a time, including on walks, so your dog gets my full attention. I can follow their usual routine and adapt each visit around their personality, preferences and needs. I’m happy caring for puppies, senior dogs, dogs requiring medication and reactive dogs where a safe management plan is already in place. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog beforehand, including their routine, likes and dislikes, walking habits and all the little quirks that make them who they are. Whether they enjoy a good sniffy walk, play and enrichment, a quiet cuddle or simply some company at home, I’ll follow their lead rather than expecting them to fit into a set routine. I’d love to meet you and your dog and learn what makes them happiest! I offer flexible care within morning, afternoon and selected evening windows, which works well for regular walks, puppy visits, senior pets and animals who need care spaced throughout the day. I’m happy to provide both recurring weekly care and occasional bookings, and I always allow enough time between visits so each pet receives my full attention rather than feeling rushed. Where medication, puppy toilet breaks or another routine requires more precise timing, I'm happy to discuss this individually at our meet-and-greet. I understand how much trust is involved in asking someone to care for your pet and enter your home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take time to understand their personality, triggers, preferences and any medical or behavioural needs. I care for one household at a time and use a calm, reward-based approach. Dogs remain on a lead or appropriate long line during normal walks, with off-lead exercise only in a secure enclosed area where agreed. I will never force a distressed or reluctant dog to continue a walk and will adapt the visit with play, enrichment, toilet time or companionship where needed. I also respect clients’ homes carefully, follow all access and security instructions, and provide a short written update and at least one photo after each walk or visit.
About: Hello! I’m Emma, I have a rescue dog called Margo! She came all the way from Romania. She now understands the word ‘squirrel and walkies’. I had two Great Dane’s growing up, toy poodle and a collie dog. I also had two guniea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish. I have also got an Animal Management diploma from college. I work full time from Monday to Friday. I can either walk your dog before and or after work. Weekends I can do mornings and evening. Pet sitting as well and drop ins for meal times. I can care for your pets at your home as your pets would be in their own home. Or if it’s for one or two nights I could have your pet with me at mine.
About: I am a semi retired NHS nurse, currently living in Kinver, on the edge of national trust walks. I fostered cats for 15 years and still have regular updates from the families they went to. I travelled to Thailand to volunteer working in an elephant village. Then volunteered for Soi Dog foundation in Thailand, with rescued street dogs and cats. In the UK both my brothers had dogs. Pally has a 12 year old husky called Enzo. My younger brothers dog Lara, passed away last year. They bought her back from Canada as a puppy. I have house and pet sat since 2013. I adore animals and cats are my favourite. I found elephants a bit heavy for lap cuddles!! I’d be delighted to spend time with your beautiful babies, I’ve just returned from Somerset where I looked after Willow and Toby. I’ve been sitting for Toby since 2013, since then Lisa’s pet family has included a rabbit, a guinea pig, Gina a rescue from France, an African hedgehog, a turtle and fish! And now Willow too, she’s a rescue greyhound about 8. My cat Tigga has travelled with me to my sons, in Seaton Delaval, where we slept in my campervan. She goes and comes as she pleases, she’s a fabulous travel companion. She doesn’t wear a leash and always comes back. We’ve been camping together as well as to festivals. She loves it. As a semi retired nurse, I have flexibility with when and where I choose to work. Having family and friends all over the uk, I combine visits with sits. So I can cover further distances if needed. I have lived with animals and children for nearly 40 years. Animals are definitely easier! I am happy to give medication etc, i am comfortable looking after elderly cats and dogs. I am happy to prepare specialised food if it is required. I will care for your home and your pets like my own. I respect your space and your babies.
“Zowie took fabulous care of my very bouncy dog and two cats while I was away. Zowie very kindly sent me updates so I didn't have to worry how my pets were coping. I came back to a lovely tidy house, happy cats and a dog who was very sad to see Zowie go. I would certainly recommend Zowie and would be happy to have her back again.”

Thank you,we would definitely have you to look after milo again.
Ruta looked after our lovely girl for eleven days and we are very pleased with her. She really does such a good job and we will certainly continue to book her. We do now anyway but knowing the fab job she does is reassuring and she is so pleasant as well. Thank you Ruta x
I can’t speak highly enough of Matilda. Thank you so much for looking after our dog, Sully and our home. We came back to a very happy Sully that has clearly been looked after and cared for so well. There was plenty of contact and photo updates of our boy whilst we were on holiday and Matilda was so conscientious with her care and wanted to ensure that she followed his normal routine. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thanks so much. 😊 Your care really put us at ease to allow us to enjoy our holiday.
Evette looked after Tilly in our home when we were on holiday. She is very experienced in looking after dogs of all ages. Tilly had injured her leg just before we went away. Evette managed this situation with great care and empathy. She also administered Tilly’s medication with no problem. Evette cared for Tilly with love and empathy and in a professional manner. She also looked after our bungalow with care and left it looking neat and tidy. We would certainly have no hesitation in having Evette house sit Tilly when we are away.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Wyre Forest walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.

Every sitter 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 sitter is the right fit before booking.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
