“Beth was incredible; professional and warm, we felt really safe with her looking after Monty. She paid attention to our requests and went above and beyond with Monty. We were impressed with her communication and will most certainly be booking her again! Strong recommendation!”

“Claire was wonderful with my two older dogs. After a bad experience with another sitter, it was a difficult decision to leave my dogs with somebody else but the risk was well worth it. Claire loved my dogs like her own. I've never returned from somewhere with them being more content and settled afterwards. My house was left spotless too. Claire sent lots of updates and photos and it was evident that within a few hours I'd been forgotten about as Claire had won them over!”

About: CATS - I’ve had cats since the age of 9. I currently have 3 cats who I adore. One of them has asthma and I am experienced in medicating her with her inhaler. I have had cats in the past who have been on tablet medication who I have solely cared for so am experienced in giving cats tablet medicine. I previously cared for a cat who had medication from a syringe (orally) so I have a bit of experience giving medicine in a syringe to cats also. I have groomed every cat I’ve owned including nail care. DOGS - I lived with dogs for a number of years when I was at home with my parents. I don’t have experience giving dogs medication or grooming them but I have lots of experience walking small - medium dogs. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with large dogs unfortunately. I absolutely love animals and have so much room in my heart to love and care for them. Unfortunately I just don’t have the room in my house, which is why I choose to care for others pets instead so that I can still open my heart to them. I am a mobile carer so I’m always on the go. I’m very used to driving around and keeping to specific schedules so I’m happy to stay as close to your pets personal schedule as I can! CATS - when caring for a cat in your home I will stick to routine as much as possible and follow your guidelines in your home. I do not board cats. DOGS - with dogs I will follow your routine as much as possible as well and follow your guidelines in your home. Walks will always be on lead unless told otherwise, and I will only take them off lead once I am confident they will come when I call them. I do not board dogs

About: I have had many pets over the years from dogs,cats,fish,hamsters you name it since when i grew up to the present day. This includes various dogs over the years with the most recent being our Chihuahua. Walking dogs also gives me the exercise and fresh air needed as well as the pleasure knowing that I am helping someone as well as giving the dog exercise by going for walks. I have walked and looked after friends and family dogs over the years and it gives me great pleasure in doing so At the weekends we spend our time in the outdoors going for walks in parks and along canals or in the local country parks near to where we live. many places in Derbyshire and the surrounding areas. Our back garden is fenced with 6ft fencing and a locked gate and a grassed garden. We also live in a detached house. Our house is secured and in a quite area.

There will be some time spent on their own. They will be looked after, loved and fussed making sure your pooch or cat stay happy.
About: Hi, I’m Aurora! I’ve always adored animals, and those around me often refer to me as the cat or dog whisperer. I can often get animals that are usually shy/anxious to warm up to me pretty well. This may be because I’ve always been around animals and have a shy/timid temperament myself! 🫣 I grew up with 2 labradors, Molly and Maggie, who were my best friends. Since I was old enough to help with their care I have been looking after animals. I had another dog later on before I moved over to the UK (from the US) and I now have 4 cats (They wouldn’t dare let me have a dog now & I wouldn’t have space anyway 😂) I have looked after dogs occasionally for friends and through another app, and I’m very eager to spend some time with more puppers! I’m confident in walking dogs, though I may struggle with large dogs that pull as I’m quite petite. I have experience walking dogs who are dog reactive as well as looking after anxious dogs. Having had up to 8 cats (& owning 6 for many years before the oldest 2 sadly passed away) means I’m somewhat of an expert at feeding times! I’m capable of administering any oral medications required, I have experience of this with both cats & dogs. I can bathe dogs or do other grooming bits (I have long haired cats & I’m able to bathe them 😆😬) and I’m happy to take on any specific requirements you may have for your dog! I’m also happy to look after other animals - and even plants 🌱 I will take notes on your care requirements when we meet and will be sure to look after your pets to the best of my ability and hopefully as close as possible to the way you would care for them 😊 I have a pretty open schedule as I have Cystic Fibrosis so I am on full time disability and therefore can be around 24/7 if required. My health has improved a bit recently so this won’t affect my ability to care for your pets, and I could really do with some dog walking to get me out of the house! I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am happy to stick to any routines or requirements which you may have. I understand being anxious to leave your pets & will provide as many updates as you’d like! (I can sometimes send too many photos, so please communicate your preferences to me 😊)
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 had 2 beautiful staffies that have now passed on due to old age and I know how hard it is to find good people to look after your pet last minute or even for holidays or days out, I miss having dogs but like to travel so can no longer be a permanent dog owner, but I'm happy to share the love and look after your furry friends In your time of need. I have experience looking after cats and dogs in my adult life and had various other pets as a child (all had fur or feathers) I do not allow animals on my furniture or on/in my bed, these are my non negotiables as I like the spaces I use to relax to be free of dog hair and dirt. This doesn't change the fact that your pet will be loved and fussed (if that's what they like) I prefer dogs to have a crate as my 2 loved theirs and it helps keep boundaries in the home, however, I am flexible with each pets individual care needs, I can sleep downstairs or have your pet sleep in their bed in my bedroom if needed for anxious pets or those used to sleeping in bed with their owners. I would prefer a visit/meet before any official booking to ensure I am the right fit for your pet and vise versa, but I appreciate this won't always be possible, communication is key, as I want to offer the best care possible for your pet. I have experience in crate training, muzzle training and puppy/toilet training and have looked after other people's dogs before unofficially for neighbours and family member etc. I used this service myself for my boy years ago and was very anxious to leave him with a stranger so please ask any questions you may have, I'm an open book. I work from home on certain days of the week, this can change as sometimes I may need to visit clients but this is rare and usually pre planned. Pets will be walked first thing in the morning before work and then again after work, or whatever is required for each individual. It's important and animal is stimulated and gets exercise if they are able. I have a small grass back garden that is fenced off for fresh air and toilet needs, there is a park 2 minutes form my house for walks etc. I don't currently have any pets at home
“Sue looked after our 3 year old border collie Ruby for 2 nights 8th-10th May. Sue kept in contact with us and sent pictures whilst we were away, I'm fairly sure Ruby didn't even notice we'd been gone! Would definitely recommend and will use Sue's 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 Bolsover 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 Bolsover 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.
