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’ve always had pets in my family and grew up with dogs from all backgrounds. I have no fear of dealing with stinky accidents or litter trays, and especially like a little cuddle and bit of a play when it comes to dropping by! I have my own mini schnauzer and 2 cats so I’m used to all different pet personalities, and reading their body language to know when is the right time to approach etc. I’ll always take the time to get to know your pet and make them comfortable with me, I won’t just drop and go, they deserve to get to know the person who’s popping by! I’m an animal lover through and through. If you have any questions, please shoot me a message! I work from home 4 out of 5 days of the week - and can work from anywhere with wifi and a desk! I can be flexible, and we can have a chat on the best times for me to drop by! Happy to provide day sits, and I have my own extremely friendly mini schnauzer so, if your pet would like a play friend for the day as well, we can figure something out! Shoot me message! I will take the time to get to know your pet when I first come by - I won’t just drop and go! I’ll make sure they know I’m someone they can trust and, depending on their nature, happy to give them cuddles and love, or give them their own space to thrive!

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes, from energetic Dachshunds to gentle Golden Retrievers. We have a deep understanding of different breed temperaments and needs. Recently, we raised and trained our own dog, Olive, from a puppy. We’ve invested significant time into her socialisation and positive reinforcement training, ensuring she is well-behaved and 'spoilt rotten' with care. We treat every guest dog with that same level of dedication and love. Please message before booking as I may have more availability then stated on rover :) I work full time, and my partner has a hybrid work schedule. To ensure your dog receives full attention, we only host pets on the days my partner works from home or I am fully available. We provide a structured routine including two long walks per day, plenty of backyard playtime, and daily mental enrichment activities like lick mats or puzzle toys to keep them happy and engaged. Our home is a fully dog-friendly environment designed with safety as a top priority. We have a large, securely fenced garden where guest dogs can play safely under supervision. Inside, the house is kept secure and free of hazards. Since we already have two friendly dogs, we are experienced in maintaining a calm, social, and supervised space, ensuring all pets feel comfortable, secure, and right at home during their stay.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — at one point my family had five at once, from energetic Border Collies to sweet Cocker Spaniels. Growing up in a house full of wagging tails taught me patience, confidence, and a genuine love for caring for dogs of all shapes and personalities. Today, I share my home with our family Sproodle, who keeps me smiling and on my toes. After 20 years working in civil engineering, I made the decision to follow my heart and become a full‑time dog walker and pet carer. It’s the best move I’ve ever made. I bring reliability, calm energy, and a true passion for making every dog feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether your pup loves long adventures, gentle strolls, or just some company and affection, I’m here to make sure they’re treated like one of my own. I’d love to meet your dog and become someone they’re excited to see. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. Because I’m out walking dogs every day, your dog will join me on one or two of my regular walks, getting plenty of exercise, stimulation and social time. When we’re home, they won’t be left alone — my wife works from home, so your dog will always have company from her and our friendly Sproodle between walks. Your dog will be welcomed into a relaxed, family‑oriented home with plenty of space to settle in and feel comfortable. We have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, and inside the house there’s room for both peaceful naps and full‑on zoomies. We share our home with our gentle 5‑year‑old Sproodle, my wife, and our two children (12 and 9), all of whom are used to being around dogs and love having four‑legged visitors. We aim to make your dog feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive. At night, most dogs choose to sleep in our bedroom or at the foot of our bed—whatever helps them feel most at ease. If you prefer your dog to be crated, we’re more than happy to accommodate that too. Above all, we want your dog to feel at home while they’re missing you. They’ll have company, comfort, and a calm environment where they can relax, play, and enjoy their stay.

About: I grew up with dogs from a young age and have always thought of them as equal members of the family. I love to be outside and enjoy both short strolls around the local parks and longer hikes along the canal and in the forest. I am very interested in understanding how dogs think and why they act in certain ways. I actively watch training sessions and online discussions about dogs which has enabled me to learn about why dogs might behave in different ways, often depending on their breed. I would be honoured to look after your dog and would ensure that they are happy, comfortable, safe, cared for, and very much loved. I look forward to meeting you and your dog. I work full time during term time but I am usually available from 5pm on most weekdays. I am also available all day on some weekends. When I am looking after dogs, I am completely free to spend time with the dog, relaxing or playing, and would take dogs for walks or toilet breaks regularly. I live in a house with no animals and I have a secure garden that can be used for toilet breaks and playing. I live very close to parks, fields, and forests that are suitable for dog walks. I am trustworthy with following instructions for feeding or with other routines requested by the dog’s owner.

About: FULLY INSURED TO WALK BSL DOGS SUCH AS PITBULLS AND XL BULLIES. I’ve owned, cared for, and walked dogs for my entire life. I was a volunteer for 3 years, and am currently employed at a local Staffie rescue centre (5 years of professional animal welfare and care). I’ve cared for everything from Jack Russells to XXL Bullies. Super friendly, or highly dog reactive - all fine by me. I like to think that I have a pretty good understanding of dogs, and it’s not often that a dog doesn’t gel with me. I am very experienced in larger / stronger breeds. I currently work in the Staffie rescue centre around 24 hours a week, so I would be fitting visits in before or after work unless it is my day off. I am very flexible so please don’t hesitate to approach me with your requirements. I aspire to eventually run my own dog walking & sitting business full time. I am happy to visit your dog several times a day if needed (work allowing), and I’m happy to be observed on your home CCTV for your piece of mind. I can send you updates via email or text message should you require this.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Wyre Forest pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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.
