Really happy with the care my reptiles received from Jade. From the initial meet and greet, communication was quick and easy, and I got plenty of updates and photos while I was away. Before I left, I’d accidentally left my gecko’s enclosure open and he escaped. She spotted it straight away, and went an extra mile and stayed longer than planned to safely get him back, and kept me and my emergency contact updated throughout. I’d happily rebook in the future and would definitely recommend her to others!

Elisa is a fantastic pet sitter, she’s very thorough and caring. She left lots of detail and pictures so I knew our cat was okay, and could relax knowing he was being properly looked after. We will definitely book again!

About: I provide calm, reliable and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I take time to understand each animal’s routine, personality and preferences so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I have approximately 20 years of experience, caring for pets and approximately 5 years of dog walking experience. I’m especially good with building trust with pets who may be anxious or need a bit more patience, and I’m very mindful of maintaining familiar routines such as feeding times, walks, and comfort habits. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on consistency, reassurance, and creating a stress free environment for them while their owner has peace of mind. I work from home with a high level of flexibility to provide pet care. This means I can fit around feeding times, walks, check-ins, and any specific routines your pet is used to. On my working days, I am still able to step away as needed to provide care, and I am also available for mornings, evenings, and overnight stays depending on requirements. On my non-working day and weekends, I have additional flexibility for longer stays or more frequent visits. My aim is always to provide consistent, calm and reliable care that fits naturally around the pet’s routine. I primarily offer pet sitting in the pet owner’s home, as I believe most pets feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure their home is kept clean, secure, and respected at all times. My focus is on reducing stress for the pet by maintaining consistency and providing calm, attentive care while their owner is away.

Macey was the kindest, most thoughtful and professional catsitter. She sent us regular updates and pictures to keep us from worrying whilst on holiday. We came back home to a very relaxed kitty who clearly had been shown a lot of love and care in our absence. I’m hoping Macey can become my long-term catsitter for these reasons!

About: There hasn't been a time in my life without dogs. I currently have 2 rescues from the RSPCA; a Dachshund and a Shih Tzu cross Pomeranian. Growing up we had 3 Dalmatians and a Doberman. I am also an experienced small pet owner from gerbils, hamsters and rats through to guinea pigs and rabbits. I know how much your pets mean to you but also how sometimes you go places that aren't best suited for them and just need a helping hand to watch over them. I will always ensure the best care for them and some may say spoil them a bit too much! I work an office job 9-5 so I am available mornings, evenings and weekends. I can do short visits on lunch times if located within nearby proximity. I have grown up with dogs and small pets my whole life so I am well versed in animal care and what they need. I have had dogs of varying temperaments. Most of my dogs have been rescues so all come with their own quirks and needs. I understand how some pets require a little extra t.l.c and some need their own space.

About: Caring for dogs truly comes from the heart for me. I’m calm, patient, and naturally collected, helping dogs feel safe and relaxed in my home. I care for all temperaments, including those who may be anxious or struggle socially. For dogs who need their own space, Narla has a separate area upstairs where she can be comfortable and away from other dogs if needed. Your dog will always be treated like family in a safe, loving environment. 💛 work part-time evenings; however, your dog will never be left alone. When I’m working nights as I am home wokrokg, your dog will always have company, affection, and a calm, safe environment. I have a range of dog enrichment, training tools and grooming for all puppy and dog needs. I’m lucky to have a large, fully enclosed outdoor space where dogs can safely play, explore, and roam freely. It gives them plenty of room to stretch their legs in a secure environment. Just above the house, there’s also a huge open field with beautiful walking routes, perfect for longer walks, sniffing adventures, and burning off energy. There is also access to crates for dogs who are crate-trained or prefer having their own safe, cosy space to relax. My aim is to provide a home-from-home environment where every dog feels comfortable, secure, and happy. 🐶💛

About: Hello, I'm Ashley! I'm a huge dog lover and proud auntie to a gorgeous Cavapoo, so I know just how much our four-legged family members mean to us. Having used boarding services ourselves, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust and who will keep you updated while you're away. After 15 years as a teacher, I recently started my own business working from home. As a DBS-checked professional, I'm organised, reliable and used to caring for others. I bring that same level of responsibility and attention to every dog I look after. Working from home also means I have the flexibility to provide plenty of company, care and attention throughout the day. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting and boarding. Whether your dog is happiest staying in the comfort of their own home or enjoying a home-from-home stay with me, I'll always take the time to understand their routine, personality and individual needs. I live in a detached house with a secure enclosed garden in a lovely village, surrounded by parks and open fields; perfect for enriching walks and adventures. I'm an active person who enjoys running, football and spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers energetic walks or a slower pace, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention that's right for them. I know every dog is different, which is why I'm always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know one another, make sure we're the right fit and ensure your dog will feel comfortable and settled in my care. I'll always treat your dog with kindness, patience and respect and you will receive regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they're happy, safe and well looked after. As I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to plan my day around walks, visits and quality time with the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive plenty of attention and aren't left alone for long periods. I love spending time outdoors, whether that's exploring local parks and countryside or simply enjoying a stroll around the village, so walks are something I genuinely look forward to every day. I can also be flexible to accommodate your dog's usual routine wherever possible. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to get to know their personality, routine and any specific needs before caring for them. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding times, walking preferences, medication, favourite toys or bedtime routines, to help your dog feel as settled and comfortable as possible. In my own home, dogs will have access to a secure enclosed garden and plenty of companionship throughout the day, as I work from home. My home is clean, calm and located in a lovely village with easy access to parks and countryside walks. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll keep everything clean and tidy, stick to your dog's normal routine as closely as possible, and make sure your pet receives lots of care, attention and regular exercise. Before any booking, I'm always happy to arrange a meet and greet. It's a great way for us to get to know each other, answer any questions and make sure we're all comfortable that it's the right fit for both you and your dog.

About: I have owned and cared for my own dog for the past 10 years and have been around dogs for most of my life. Family, friends and neighbours have regularly trusted me to help care for their dogs, including feeding, exercising and taking them on walks. I am confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, happy and well exercised and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am reliable, patient and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I will ensure they receive the care, attention and exercise they need. I have a flexible schedule and can offer dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons and weekends. As a dog owner for the past 10 years, daily walks were a regular part of my routine. I enjoy being outdoors and understand how important exercise and stimulation are for a dog’s wellbeing. I will always do my best to accommodate your preferred walking times and your dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. Having owned and cared for dogs for many years, I understand the importance of patience, consistency and paying attention to each dog’s personality and needs. I will ensure dogs are kept secure on walks, avoid situations that may cause stress, and follow any instructions provided by owners. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will provide regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.

About: From a young age I have always been fond of all animals and as a family we took on the role as puppy walkers for Guide Dogs. One puppy we adopted unfortunately developed arthritis so could no longer carry on the training but this allowed us to keep him and we had a fantastic 13 years together. He made my childhood and although in adulthood I haven't taken a dog on myself, I am a serial dog auntie to many and offered dog walks and pet sitting to friends/family/colleagues/neighbours etc before I started extending this to services on Rover. I am a really keen walker and know some great dog friendly routes but also always keen for the excuse to find new ones. I do work but have flexibility in my schedule and can work from home too which means I am on hand to be with pets in the day. I do not have the commitments of kids or other pets myself so again can offer that flexible care in the week to meet the needs of different people and their pets. I offer hands on care to ensure the safety and comfort and any pet I am responsible for. I want owners to feel assured their beloved animals are in safe hands. I am flexible to follow the wishes of owners to meet the individual needs of their pets, (however quirky they may be).

About: I've had cats since the age of 3, and never stopped having them. Alongside many other pets of all shapes and sizes. I started helping out a friend with her dog sitting jobs and it's continued from there. I've dog sat and walked , cat sat and checked up on friends and clients pets. One off walks and regular walks. From small senior Jack Russell to two bounding golden retrievers. I've had a good few years of experience now to offer more services . I'm currently working part time so I have the time to schedule in walks, house sitting/pet sitting and call ins. I have one ongoing walk with a Jack Russell and would like to take on more pet care work. Depending on what the owner wants , whether it's a routine walk, a pop in or a stay over. I'm happy to do it all. Happy to follow instructions to make sure your babies are happy and calm. My cat is an outdoor cat but understand some prefer theirs to stay in. With dogs I can make sure they are well seen to and will make sure I know how long they don't mind being left alone. Can pop in to fill up water and food bowls or to let any out to use to toilet.

Karen looked after my two cats, Luna and Tilly, for a week while I was on holiday, and I couldn't be happier with the care they received. She visited twice a day, making sure they were fed, had fresh water, and spent time giving them lots of fuss and attention. Karen was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me complete peace of mind. She even treated Luna and Tilly to one of their favourite treats – tuna – which they absolutely loved! I came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and everything was spotless. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and genuinely caring cat sitter. Thank you so much, Karen – I wouldn't hesitate to book you again!

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 Calderdale 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.

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 Calderdale 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.
