“Laura helped us out at very short notice with a drop in visit for our dog Rosco, and despite the tight notice even squeezed in a quick meet and greet before the actual visit - which I really appreciated. She kept me in the loop and sent update picture and messages. We'll definitely book again.”

“Ming is a wonderful and loving pet sitter! She took amazing care of my two cats, YuenBo & ChuChai. YuenBo is usually very shy and afraid of strangers, but to my surprise, she felt comfortable enough to approach Ming! That really shows how gentle and kind she is. My other cat, ChuChai, also became friends with Ming and clearly enjoyed her company. Ming was attentive, patient, and truly dedicated to making sure both of my cats felt safe and loved. I’m so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. Definitely will book again :)”

About: I have taken care of multiple animals through out the years, with having grown up with animals my whole life. I have been trusted with having the responsibility of feeding,caring,entertaining and nursing for them. This has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl as I have so much care for animals from all different breeds and ages. With taken this opportunity and leaving work I have a lot of time on my hands to commit to this position full time to look after pets. I have plenty of experience over the years of looking after friends and family’s pets. I am 100% trustworthy in this position as I know how it feels to love and care for your pets. I am extremely aware of the responsibility this job involves and the extreme measures of your pets safety. As well as having the tools and knowledge so you feel comfortable with having your pet in safe hands.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the range of experience I’ve built over the years. I grew up with both a dog and a cat and was always the one responsible for their daily care. This gave me a strong sense of responsibility and taught me how important consistency and patience are. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Some were shy, some excitable, and others more challenging - but I learnt how to adapt and make each one feel comfortable and safe. These days, I often look after my sister’s two dogs (one of them quite a handful!) and occasionally pet sit for friends’ cats and dogs. I’m confident managing pets with big personalities and always follow routines carefully. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible job that allows me to plan my time around walks, feeds, and visits. I love being outdoors and walking, so taking dogs out for exercise is something I genuinely enjoy. At the same time, I’m equally happy to spend quiet time at home with pets who prefer company and comfort over long walks. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just being there so they’re not alone, I can easily adapt my day to fit the needs of each pet. When caring for pets, I always follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, play, and litter tray cleaning, so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient with all personalities - from playful puppies to independent cats - and adapt to what each pet needs, whether that’s energetic exercise, cuddles, or quiet company. At home, I have a secure fenced garden in a calm suburban area, perfect for dogs to enjoy fresh air and a relaxed environment for cats. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. I’m also a proud dog owner to Teddy, my friendly 2.5-year-old Cockapoo, and a cat owner to Pamda, my 10-year-old cat, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I specialise in small group dog walks, making sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise and safe social time. I carefully match dogs based on size and temperament, so every walk is calm, fun and stress-free. I also offer drop-in visits for cats and other small pets, including feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning and giving them company while you’re away. I understand that cats have their own personalities and routines, and I take a calm, patient approach with them. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love what I do — every pet in my care is treated like part of the family, not just another booking. I provide regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy and well looked after. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care for your pets. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons and weekends. I plan my walks carefully to keep small, well-matched groups, ensuring each dog gets the time, attention and exercise they need. I’m also available for regular bookings or occasional visits, depending on your needs. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any specific needs before starting. For dog walks, I keep small, carefully matched groups and choose safe walking routes. Dogs are always kept under close supervision, and I can follow any specific instructions such as lead walking or avoiding certain areas. For home visits, I respect your home and keep everything clean, secure and exactly as you left it. I’m reliable, trustworthy and will always keep you updated with messages and photos.

About: I’m a caring, patient and responsible person who absolutely loves animals. I always treat every pet with kindness, attention and respect for their individual needs. I had a beloved dog chow chow who sadly passed away three years ago, so I understand how special the bond between a pet and their owner can be. I also have experience caring for more demanding dogs, including a friend’s dog with multiple allergies, which required extra care and attention. I would be happy to give your pet lots of love, attention, walks and cuddles, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I work from 8am to 1:30pm, so I’m home for most of the day. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed in my home, just like they’re at their own home. 🐾 Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving home where they can feel safe and comfortable. I have a fully fenced garden and no children I’m happy to provide lots of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention, depending on what your pet enjoys and needs

About: Having always had cats since I was a little girl, my love has only grown for the animals that complete our homes. I have 3 rescue cats myself and have had 2 previous rescue cats, one which has asthma and needed daily medication. Whilst I’ve never owned a dog, I looked after my neighbours dog three days a week for over a year, going in to let him out for the toilet and making sure he had lots of fuss and treats and a play in the garden to break up the day. I mostly work from home and I work a four day week. Luckily my schedule is very flexible and can be amended to accommodate pet needs upon bookings received. I will follow any instructions you give in terms of safety and access for your pets. Whether that be dietary requirements, medication or access to outside.

About: Hi 👋 and welcome! My name is Zaneta and I live with my partner Bart (your dogs love toy, he loves to play with every furry paw). I provide attentive, home-based dog care experience focused on making your dog feel truly safe, understood, and happy 💛 Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood—I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, and rabbits, and grew up surrounded by multiple pets. This gave me a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behaviour, needs, and emotional wellbeing. ✨ What makes my care different I don’t just “look after” dogs—I thoughtfully support them through the transition of being in a new environment. When your dog arrives, I guide them through a gentle onboarding process: • We explore the home room by room to avoid overwhelm • I allow them to settle at their own pace • We spend time in the garden playing or decompressing to release stress • We are active couple, so your dogs will always have enough exercise (walks) provided daily (at least 2 long walks a day in the park or fields) This helps your dog feel secure, not anxious—which is especially important for sensitive or first-time stays. 🐶 Experience & approach • Experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments • Confident handling of more sensitive or anxious dogs • Focus on emotional safety, routine, and personalised care • Calm, structured environment (no chaos or overcrowding) 💛 My priority Your dog won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be cared for with intention, patience, and genuine affection. I treat every dog as an individual, adapting to their personality, energy levels, and needs. 🐾 Daycare & Boarding Information • Flexible drop-off & pick-up times (to be agreed in advance) • Longer stays available upon request ✨ For first-time or longer stays, I recommend a short trial visit. This ensures your dog feels comfortable and confident in the space before staying longer. 🧳 What to bring To help your dog feel at home, please bring: • 🛏 Their bed (familiar scent = instant comfort) • 🍖 Food + Snacks for training • 🦮 Lead (short and long) • 🧸 Toys • 💊 Any medication if needed I genuinely love building trust with each dog and creating a space where they can relax, play, and feel at home 🐾 If you’re looking for someone who will understand your dog—not just supervise them—I’d love to help 💛 I work from home three times a week and have weekends off, allowing me to be fully present to care for your pets, keeping them entertained and providing them with the companionship they deserve. I also offer boarding services during weekend mornings and on my work-from-home days. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to accommodate your needs, ensuring your pets receive the best care when you need it most. I have a fully fenced, secure garden, providing a safe space where your pets can play and explore without the risk of wandering off. Rest assured, they will always be under close supervision to ensure their safety and well-being at all times.

I currently work from home and have easy access to the park across the road, where our dog goes for his daily walk. There are plenty of other longer walks available nearby, too. I have a large secure fenced garden, perfect for a doggy friend for Monty. Our dog Monty loves all other dogs, even nervous ones! and puts them at ease.

He had vomited while we were away this time and Ione dealt with it so professionally, let us know what had happened and tidied it all up. We trust her to make sure he's happy and cared for, and she is so good with reading cat body language etc. Thank you so much!!”

About: Experienced animal care assistant offering reliable evening visits and weekend dog walks. Working as a veterinary assistant (soon to be SVN) in a busy practice has given me hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. IThis experience means I can quickly pick up on changes in behaviour, follow specific care instructions, and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable at all times. I truly love what I do, and I’ll care for your pet with the same kindness, patience, and attention as if they were my own 🐾 I'm available for pet walks on weekends and can do drop-in visits in the evenings. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a bit of playtime, or just some company while you're out, I'm happy to help. With my experience in animal care, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I can also provide feeding, medication administration, and general check-ins to ensure your pet is happy and healthy while you're away. Let me know how I can fit into your pet’s routine! When caring for pets during drop-in visits, I make sure they are comfortable, well-fed, and given plenty of attention. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, whether it's feeding, refreshing water, administering medication, or providing playtime and companionship. I also keep an eye out for any signs of illness or stress. For dog walks, I ensure each walk is tailored to the dog’s needs—whether they need a slow stroll or an energetic outing. Safety is my priority, so I always use secure leashes, follow the owner's walking preferences, and watch out for any potential hazards. My goal is to make every visit or walk a positive experience, keeping pets happy and owners worry-free!

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Laura! She followed everything we requested and took great care of our cats, even when they weren’t always around to be seen. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us reassured while we were away. Most importantly, our cats absolutely took a liking to Laura, which really says it all! They clearly felt comfortable and happy in her care. We came home knowing they had been well looked after, and we would happily recommend Laura to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter.

Very friendly, understanding and capable - we have older cats who are set in their ways and need particular attention. We had not tried a cat sitter drop in service before. We were slightly apprehensive about doing this for the first time until we met Charlotte at our ‘greet’ session when she quickly put us at ease. We had daily updates and feel she went beyond what we were expecting in caring for our cats We have absolutely no reservations about recommending Charlotte to anyone needing drop in sessions.

FAQs for Pet Sitting – Broxtowe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Broxtowe on Rover is £13 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £21 per Visit.

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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,502 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across the city of Broxtowe. About 84% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

Yes. There are up to 2,502 pet sitters offering care in and around Broxtowe. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.

Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.

You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.

Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.

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.
