“Can’t thank Ruta enough for looking after our 2 girls . They are both rescues and very different in nature and both are on medication . Seeing Ruta’s pictures of them we could see how relaxed our dogs were . Thank you Ruta we will definitely be using your services 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.”
About: I have been involved with dogs all my life, although Max, my 5yr. old Labrador is only my third dog. Max, who I have trained to be an excellent gun dog, is friendly with all dogs and people. However, he is intact, so ladies in, or close to season would be unfair to all parties. My situation, just 100yds. from Wyre Forest allows me to give your dog a new and exciting walking experience without any driving, with Max as a very friendly companion. In addition your dog will have the run of my medium sized secure garden at all times with all day opportunity for toilet ops. If required, I can provide basic training-sit, stay, recall, heel, etc. I am a retired pensioner with a dog so my daily/weekly routine is almost entirely centred on my home and my dog. An additional dog would make very little difference to this routine with the bonus of company for each. My garden is fenced and dog proof. Although my dog is walked without a lead in the forest, all visitors would be on a lead, and a 20mtr running line would be available if required. At night, my visitors would sleep in my conservatory, with water nearby and be able to access the garden if necessary.
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: ✅ Pet First Aid and CPR Certified ✅DBS Check Hello! I’ve been around animals my whole life, having grown up with both dogs and cats.

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: 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 have grown up with dogs on/off for my whole life and love taking care and walking them. As a child I had golden retrievers and now help take care of my parents Cockapoo as they are disabled. I am a teacher therefore most of my availability is weekends or school holidays. On some days I would be able to do evening walks or drop ins. I am a full time teacher so I am available during school holiday, weekends and the occasional evening. I love to exercise so if you want your dog to go running I am happy to do that as well as walks. Although I do not offer pets in my own home, i will follow any instructions given regarding the care of the dog in others homes.
About: I’ve had experience with lots of different kinds of dogs such as puppies, senior, small, giant, energetic, calm. So whatever your furry friend needs they’ll be well looked after! I’m currently at home until the end of September before uni so I have plenty of time during the week to look after your pets. I’m happy to have any instructions that you may do in your usual routine to keep your fur baby as comfortable as possible until you come home.
About: I’m an experienced and attentive dog carer with over 10 years of hands-on experience owning and looking after dogs of different personalities and energy levels. Dogs are a big part of daily life in our home — we currently have three happy, playful resident dogs who are friendly and used to sharing their space with visiting dogs. We also have two cats, and all of our dogs live calmly alongside them, so visiting dogs must be comfortable around cats. Your dog will be treated as part of the family, not kept separately or kenneled. I work from home full-time, which means dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Exercise is a priority here. Our dogs usually enjoy around 2.5 hours of walks, play, and outdoor time each day, but I always adapt routines to suit each dog’s age, fitness level, and individual needs — whether that’s energetic adventures or slower, relaxed strolls. We have a large, secure garden for safe play and downtime between walks, giving dogs lots of space to explore and relax. To make sure every stay is safe and enjoyable, I require a meet-and-greet before confirming bookings. This allows us to introduce the dogs properly and ensure everyone gets along well, helping create a calm and positive environment for all dogs in the home. I work from home full time, so the dogs in my care are rarely, if ever, left alone. The dogs in our household get 2.5 hours of exercise per day, plus plenty of opportunities for play, or chilling in the garden. Our house is a dog house - your dog can have full access to all sofas, etc, if that's what they're used to at home. I have a large, securely fenced garden. Your dogs care will be adapted to suit their needs and personality. We prioritise fun, alongside a safe sense of freedom. We let dogs be dogs, within the boundaries of what is safe and comfortable.
About: Having grown up around rescue dogs, greyhounds, Jack Russell’s, terriers & my best friends Labrador’s- I’ve been around pooches for what seems like forever! I was 6years old when I offered to walk my neighbours dog- Bruce, and was ecstatic when she gave me 50p a day to take him round the fields. All 50p got quickly spent on sweets! Haha I was 7 when I started Horse Riding & continued until my ex- racehorse passed away in 2021. I spent a huge chunk of my younger years in the equestrian world- competing, grooming & doing general yard work before studying Equine Science at University. Proud owner of Smushleberry Strolls Dog Walking means I’m fully dedicated to the job- it’s not a part time hobby. Owner of a 6 month old puppy, & an senior working dog? attendee of regular gundog training & with a keen interest in canine behaviour- I’m confident with all breeds from the cute & fluffy to the wet & muddy! We’re early risers! Up early to walk Bob - we cover 5-10km a day, often spending our days off exploring big long walks or in the hills! Bob even climbed Snowdon last month! My business see’s 16-24 dogs a day & every one is as if they are my own! I’ll care for your animals like my own- I aim to be the dog Walker that I’d want for my own spaniels 🥰 Love, care & lots of playtime!
About: Hi, I’m Lydia! I’ve always had a natural love for animals and take pride in caring for them as if they were my own. I regularly look after two beautiful Golden Retrievers and a lively Staffy,handling everything from daily walks and feeding to overnight stays and plenty of playtime. I’m confident managing dogs whether they are larger, energetic dogs or small and cuddly! I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy night in, or extra cuddles, your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family member but you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout their stay. Can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the love they deserve! 🐶❤️ I’m currently building up a buisness so I have some spare time in the week to walk dogs who need it and is great to get out of the house I will walk dogs in a lovely environment which will be wooded areas/forests/dog fields so they can have the best time especially if there nervous
About: I have grown up around animals as my parents have always had an interest in exotic pets. My dad was the “crazy one” who has had snakes, birds and rabbits through my life that I have helped care for and my mother has had more usual pets like cats, fish and dogs. As a teenager I followed in my dad’s footsteps and got 3 ferrets. Due to the way I was brought up and my current job at the West Midlands Safari Park I have no fear with any pets- this includes spiders/snails and snakes. I’m currently working part time through the week so I have plenty of spare time to play, sit, feed and walk your pets at your home or mine. I can feed, walk and play with your pets. I will only give medication if it is in a powder:tablet form. I will not give injectable medication.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Wyre Forest
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.
What a lovely lovely lady ,Emily exceeded our expectations by a mile ..the boys loved her the minute they meet her ,it was like they'd known her for years. We will be booking Emily again for a overnight stay for the boys. Would highly recommend this wonderful lady .🐕🐶
A repeat booking of this fantastic couple. Mai and Joe stayed in our house for a week to look after our elderly spaniel, Dexter. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and clean, tidy house. A professional and trustworthy service, would highly recommend. Thanks both!
What can I say about Clare...she is simply perfect in every way. Our cat became extremely unwell just prior to our trip away and although she was stable enough to leave she needed someone to keep an eye on her. Clare accepted the booking and was absolutely brilliant. She kept us up to date about Cali with photos and messages which helped us feel reassured. We returned home to find that a complete record of medication and voiding etc had been made which is so helpful when managing chronic health issues in an animal. Clare also left us milk, bread and even some flowers and wine to welcome us home. She had washed the bedsheets and left the house tidier than it was when we left for our trip! I am so impressed with the level of care provided to our baby and also the respect that Clare showed our home..I would not hesitate to use her services again.

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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Wyre Forest 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. 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 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.
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.
