About: I was a dog walker for 1 year with a company and have been a kennel hand for 2 years. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. The kennel also has a cattery so I have plenty of cat experience too. I’m a dog walker and pet sitter, so I will wake up feed the animal and do any morning routines including walks then do my morning walks while coming back to check on the animal let them out etc. All evening I am free after my last dog walk and I am free weekends with enough notice. I am fully insured and dbs checked with plenty of experience so while I’m pet sitting in your home you can feel comfortable that I am trust worthy.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life from staffies to Yorkshire terriers and my current dogs are two boarder collies so if you have your dogs stay with us they won’t be short of walks 😊 I do currently work part time and finish work most days at 4pm and usually can swap my days off in the week so I can fit around you. I have a very long fenced garden with a grass area and a very cool house perfect for summer dogs are allowed on my sofa so they can get nice and comfy we have pleantly of toys to play with aswell if you have your dogs stop over with me I can separate them from mine overnight with mine upstairs or vice versa
“Absolutely love Chloe. We feel so happy leaving Jonathan with her. She is very conscientious and sends so many photos and feedback which we love reading. We would not hesitate to recommend Chloe to anyone.”
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a friendly Labrador who is well socialised and used to being around both dogs and cats. Outside of pet care, I organise an annual dog show with the charity Friends of Middleton Park and, this year, I'm also organising a free community dog show for the Belle Isle Gala in partnership with Belle Isle Tenant Management Organisation. I have animal first aid experience and access to veterinary advice and emergency support 24 hours a day, giving you added peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I have my own transport and, at weekends, weather permitting, your dog may enjoy trips to local parks and beauty spots for extra enrichment and exercise. Of course, you'll receive plenty of photos, updates, and messages throughout their stay so you can see just how much fun they're having. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment where your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for more than two hours, and in most cases are with me almost all of the time. Before the booking, we'll discuss your pet's routine, preferences, dietary requirements, and any special needs to help them settle in as comfortably as possible. During their stay, your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I will stick as closely as possible to their normal routine to help them feel at home. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is getting on and enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I also have animal first aid experience and access to 24/7 veterinary support should any concerns arise. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I have a fully fenced garden, giving dogs a secure outdoor space for exercise, play, and toilet breaks. Inside the home, pets are never left without companionship, as I have other friendly pets to keep them company when I’m out. I also use multiple water fountains and automatic feeders, which are monitored and will alert me when levels are low. This means fresh water is always available and feeding routines are followed on schedule, even when I’m not at home for short periods. When out on walks, dogs are always kept on a lead for safety. If appropriate and with owner permission, I also use extendable leads so they can enjoy extra freedom to explore while still remaining secure and under control. As I work from home, pets are supervised for most of the day and are never left alone for more than 2 hours. I maintain a calm, safe environment and follow each pet’s usual routine closely to help them feel settled and secure. Regular updates and photos are provided so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.
About: Aside from training and looking after my own dog, I’m done a few bits of work here and there of looking after other dogs either staying with them overnight or taking them on dog walks and feeding them. I work part time and in weekend and twilight hours meaning I’m able to support owners throughout the week in taking care of their dogs I prefer to work in the customers home as your dogs will be more comfortable with a known space and I adapt to each home environment.
“Charlotte was fantastic with our cat, Maggie - she gave us regular updates & really put our minds at ease, she can be quite a nervous cat but seemed really settled when we arrived home, like we’d never been away! Thank you Charlotte! Xx”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and currently have one dog and three cats, so caring for pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m used to the little messes, the different personalities, and the routines that come with them, and I genuinely enjoy it. Being around animals feels natural to me, and I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling whatever comes up. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ve recently graduated from university and am currently based at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most of the week and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets, whether that’s regular check-ins, longer stays, or last-minute needs. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very happy to care for them in the place they feel safest in your home. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their usual environment and routine, especially when their owners are away. I can stay in your home to provide consistent care and companionship, or carry out regular check-ins to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and doing well. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with respect, and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away.
“Milly was amazing, from the start she went out of her way to do a meet and greet. She was always on time, very attentive with Garry and very thorough with her report card. She made sure to follow all requests I made to ensure Garry was the happiest he could be!! Milly is amazing, cannot wait to book her again :)”
About: Hi, I’m Poppy I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy rescue, or a sweet senior, I tailor my care to fit your dog’s unique needs. Here’s what makes me different: ✅ Puppy Know-How I’m experienced with young pups and their routines — from potty breaks to basic obedience and playtime structure. ✅ Senior Dog TLC Older dogs need patience, gentleness and sometimes meds or mobility support. I’m comfortable giving medication taking slower walks, and making sure senior pups stay cozy and calm. ✅ Reliable, Loving, and Communicative I believe in total transparency and trust — you’ll get regular updates, pics and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. ✅ Personalized Attention No rushed walks or overbooked days — I focus on giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet cuddles or playtime I make sure they feel safe, happy and loved every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, play and check-ins to give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop-ins or overnight sitting I make sure your pet’s needs come first. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly enjoy, every single day. I live in a cozy pet-friendly flat with plenty of space for your dog to relax. While I don’t have a garden, I’m located right by a beautiful lake with walking paths so your pup gets plenty of fresh air, exercise and outdoor time throughout the day. We go on regular walks and I make sure each dog has a comfy spot to rest, play and feel at home indoors. Safety, routine and individual attention are my top priorities — your pet will be loved and well cared for every step of the way.
“Elena responded very quickly to our enquiry to look after our cat Rosy while we were on holiday, and was proactive about understanding Rosy’s needs and routine, asking insightful questions. We received many photos and notes while we were away, which gave us plenty of assurance that Rosy was being cared for very well. We returned home to a happy and content cat! Elena patently loves cats and can be trusted to look after them - can definitely recommend!”
About: I have just finished a university degree in Criminal Justice but I have always had a passion for dogs and other animals. This is why I have just completed an online dog walking course to help start a career in this field. I have been raised with dogs for most of my childhood and always been interested and passionate about providing the care that every dog needs. The dog I was most involved with in my teen years was a Labrador called Monty and was rescued from Labrador Welfare in Sheffield. He had many health problems and needed daily administration of care to ensure a good quality of life. My current best pal is a black Labrador called Luna who I have had since she was 8 weeks old and is nearing her 3rd birthday. She is strong willed with a very mischievous personallity. Despite our ups and downs in training she has made a obedient and a well behaved dog. From owning dogs, going on adventures, and meeting other dogs owners and their furry friends has made me realise that every dog has a different personality and have different needs, wants and temperaments. One of my aim is to ensure that every dogs holistic needs are met, and that these are somebody else's special family member. I feel dog walking and sitting is a very important of a dogs care because of exercise, digestion, interaction, discipline and bonding.Another aim is to maintain the upmost of health and safety of any animal in my care. This is because I realise an animal is an important member of the family and I would want to give the care that I would expect given to my 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 Bassetlaw 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.

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.
