About: Hi, I’m Chloe! I’m a fully insured dog sitter offering flexible, reliable care to suit you and your pup’s needs. Friendly, well behaved dogs are always welcome in my home 🤍 All dogs must be up to date with vaccinations and worming, and a meet and greet is essential before confirming any booking. I’m a lifelong animal lover, and in my home your dog will be treated as one of my own, so you can completely relax while you’re away or enjoying a day out. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to horses, rabbits and birds. I live alone, which means I have plenty of time, space and attention to give to the dogs in my care. I also co own a Great Dane x St Bernard, so I’m confident with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I take a calm and patient approach and always make sure every dog feels safe, settled and loved 🐾. I’m at home all day, every day, so I’m able to let your dog out whenever they need and keep them on their usual routine. I can offer morning, lunchtime and evening walks, plus plenty of company, playtime and attention throughout the day. I work from home, and any visits to the office are planned in advance, so my role is very flexible. Whichever room I’m working from, your dog is welcome to be right there with me, whether that’s the kitchen, living room or my office. My home is a fully dog friendly space. My own dog is allowed on the furniture and can sleep wherever she feels comfortable. She won’t be there during any pet sitting, so your dog will have the place to themselves. If your dog has stricter rules, I’ll happily follow their usual routine. I also have a fully fenced, grassed back garden where they can play and explore safely. For home stays, I always stick to your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible.
About: I have grown up around dogs since I was two years old, particularly Irish Setters, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I have a dog of my own who has just turned 12, and over the past four years, he has experienced seizures, meaning I have administered his medication every day and ensured he receives the care and attention he needs. As a pharmacy technician, I also have a professional background in medicines, giving me valuable knowledge and confidence when it comes to handling and administering medication responsibly. I have experience looking after friends’ dogs and recently had the pleasure of caring for an ex police dog, which I absolutely loved.I enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved\. My sister is also a veterinary nurse, so I have access to knowledgeable professional guidance if I ever need advice or reassurance about an animal’s wellbeing. Having grown up with dogs and cared for my own throughout his life, I understand the importance of patience, routine and recognising when a dog may need extra care and attention. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I would treat every dog in my care with the same love, compassion and dedication I give my own. I work part time as a pharmacy technician which allows me to offer dog walking and boarding on my free days. I currently work Tuesday and Wednesday. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. That’s why I focus on providing loving, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. My garden is fully fenced and secure. You can count on me to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.
“Paulina was very friendly and did a great job looking after our cat Simba while we were away for a few days. She sent frequent updates including pictures and video, and we are confident our boy was well looked after during his boarding. Would not hesitate to book with Paulina again.”
About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and have loved every minute. As I've been able to get to know so many different personalities that come with all pets, I've learnt some tricks and games to play to keep them entertained and happy. I've cared for many different breeds and ages of dogs, including older ones that required medication and extra care. I've also had experience with puppies who need that extra little bit of attention and help with training. I'm currently working from home so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet's special attention whilst you're away. My schedule is flexible so walks and special requirements can easily be fit in to my day or week. I always want to leave a home I've stayed in as clean as possible so owners can come back and instantly relax (I hate the stress that comes from cleaning after travelling home too). When a pet is at home, they tend to be relaxed and comfortable, so my main priority is keeping it that way and keeping things clean and organised, so there are as little disruptions to their environment or routine as possible. This service requires a level of trust that I always want to keep at the highest level as it can be daunting to leave your pet or home with a stranger. But I hope to gain your trust with the assurance that I respect your space and your pets and want the best outcome for us both.
About: I previously owned and operated a pet store for six years, building a substantial clientele and earning trust. I have a deep understanding of the behavioral cues of both cats and dogs and expertise in caring for dogs with various health issues, including conditions like ear mites, interdigital dermatitis, and skin diseases. I am knowledgeable about the causes and treatments for these ailments. Additionally, I am proficient in providing routine pet care, such as bathing, blow-drying, nail trimming, expressing anal glands, and cleaning ears. Moreover, I know how to select suitable food for cats and dogs. In my former pet store, I regularly prepared nutritious meals for boarded pets. Through years of experience, I've learned that patience and genuine care are paramount in this profession. I am currently a college student studying equestrian-related disciplines at NTU. I have free time every weekend and am more than happy to assist those in need with taking care of their beloved pets at home. I will begin by inquiring about essential details regarding the pet, such as feeding amounts, dog-walking times, play durations, and litter box maintenance. Additionally, I'll attentively listen to the owner's specific requirements. Moreover, I offer complimentary basic health checks for the pets and can provide caregiving advice. After discussing the care plan, I will ensure to fulfill the agreed-upon needs as per our arrangement. I'm also open to sharing video updates of each care session with the owner.

“Michelle was lovely. She came for a meet and greet and we had a lovely chat. She asked what she needed to know to look after my girl. My cat is not a sociable girl and Michelle understood that so was happy to leave my cat in Michelle's care. Michelle sent me updates when she stopped by which was reassuring. Will be booking with Michelle again.”
About: I currently work full time with some flexibility with my hours, I can’t do mornings before 9 and evenings after 5 Monday - Friday and have full weekend availability. When caring for your pets in your own home, I'll follow their usual routine to help them feel happy, comfortable, and stress free. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter trays, plenty of fuss and playtime (if they enjoy it), and I'll keep an eye on their health and wellbeing. I'll also ensure your home is left tidy, bring in post if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in safe and caring hands.
About: I currently have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time every day, both on weekdays and weekends. My daily routine includes walking my own dog three times a day, which is very easy to manage and easily fits around my cat sitting duties. Because of my full flexibility, I can visit your pets at any time of day that suits your requirements. Safety and trust are my highest priorities when caring for pets. When visiting cats in their own home, I ensure all windows and doors remain securely closed to prevent any escape. I strictly follow all instructions provided by the owners regarding feeding, cleaning the litter box, and play, making sure the environment stays calm, clean, safe, and completely comfortable for the cats.
About: I’ve had spaniels since the age of 6 and I’ve taken them for walks in different areas and fed them all types of food . Im a Pe teacher so am a bundle of energy ! I’ve have very weekend off available to spend time with the lovely doggies . This makes sure all my time is dedicated to them . This is not something I will be carrying out at the moment however when the timing is right I will definitely do it in the future
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young, and I've always been the one caring for them. I have hands-on experience with Labrador Retrievers, American Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs. I’m quite skilled at exercising them through long walks or playing with them at home. They do not need to be crate trained, as I have worked with both options. I can assist with command training if needed, or, if they are young, I can maintain consistency in their training. I can also pick them up and drop them off in my car. I have a dog collar seatbelt for safety. Happy to discuss any flexibility needed or adjust the pet car to suit your requirements. I work from home on Fridays and Mondays, and I am very likely to work from home on weekends. This allows me to pet-sit full-time from Friday to Monday. I have a very flexible job, so I could probably organise extra weekdays if needed, given some notice. I have fostered dogs and cats before while they waited to be re-homed. I also drive, so I am quite flexible regarding location and can visit the pet’s owner's home. I will follow their routines and care needs depending on the pet. I live in a two-bedroom house with a good kitchen and living room. I go for walks quite often, so exercise wouldn’t be a problem, and I also have a fenced backyard of around 10m x 5m. If I'm caring for the pet at the owner’s house, I will adhere to their rules and continue with their daily routine. I also drive, so I am quite flexible with locations, whether going to the pet owner's home or taking them to bigger parks. I would send the owners daily updates in the form of videos and photos, depending on their preferences. I am quite flexible and able to adapt to different routines.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,004 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Ashfield. About 89% of Ashfield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 occurred. 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.
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.
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.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
