About: Hi everyone! My name is Naomi, I am very new to this app. I have grew up with animals since a very young age of 3 year old. I am animal obsessed but dogs hold a very close place in my heart! I have 2 rescue lurchers that I take out on walks and make memories with. I am a very kind and caring person and if I’m honest my love for animals is more than humans 🙈 I love going on long walks with my dogs and dogs that are owned by family and friends. I am very good with dogs at all ages and have a lot of experience with young, teen and elderly dogs. I train regularly at the gym as one of my hobbies so I can withstand a dog that pulls on the leash too, as I am aware no dog can be perfect. I look forward to meeting your pets, they will be in great hands and I will look after them like my own pets! I am available for walks and visits any hours on a Tuesday and the weekends. I am available for walks and visits any other weekdays after 5.30pm. If you have any certain requests to not hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am currently working as a dental nurse 35 hours week so I do have spare time, in which I would like to spend meeting and walking new dogs I care for my two lurchers by taking them out on daily walks and playing lots of games to keep them mentally stimulated as they are high energy dogs by playing scent and lure games and lots of different types of training. Not to mention giving them lots of cuddles/scratches and feeding them nutritious food.
About: I currently live with my boyfriend just outside of carlisle city in cotehill with our 2 dogs Oliver (king charles spaniel) and sasha (chihuahua x papillon). I would like to start my own business at some point but need a starting hand so i would like to get into dog walking/dog sitting. I currently work at the vets on reception so know a bit about dogs in general. I currently work full time at the vets. I am available on weekends, sometimes night times after work or if i’m on a late shift i start 11.30am so im often free before work aswell just shift dependent. I have a fenced garden (farmhouse) and have 2 fur babies myself of which i can separate if needed in our conservatory as that’s where they often spend their day sleeping in the sun!
About: I have helped friends and family with their pets starting during the pandemic including, rabbits, cats and dogs and later on, even ducks, chickens and Alpacas! I am experienced in basic dog first aid, and i also have a car to take your pet to the very in any emergency too. I have a dog of my own and have been the main care giver, walker and trainer for her for the first two years, now she is a family dog and looked after by everyone! I love doing research on your dogs breads, but I would love to get to know them personally too! I do work 3 full days during the week, on Monday, Thursday and Friday. This means I cannot do drop in visits or dog walking on those days, but I can look after your pet overnight, which is shown in my calendar availability. I have 2 religious meetings, on a Wednesday evening and a Sunday for 2 hours. I would like to know the safety of your own home, which will help me understand what your pet will do in my own home, such as, is your dog allowed in the garden or to go up to the fences? Is your garden all fenced in? Has your dog ever escaped before? Is there any rooms in the house he/she is not allowed in? Or any furniture they aren’t allowed on? I want your pet to feel comfortable and not unsettled, does your pet get anxious when you leave the house at all?
“Kat looked after our boy so well! She kept us updated and he was very relaxed when we finally got home. We had stressful train delays returning and Kat was very reassuring& flexible. She’s a pleasure to work with, thank you Kat 😊”
About: Hi, I’m Cat! I have a 15 year-old cat and a rescue collie, so I understand pets with all kinds of needs from senior companions to nervous pups. I’ve volunteered in dog kennels, hold a Pet First Aid certificate, and am expanding my animal care training. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them with the same love and patience I give my own. I am a full-time freelance artist so I can work around your schedule and needs. I make sure to plan my bookings carefully so your pets always get the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their usual routines to help them feel safe and comfortable whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or companionship. I’ll make sure fresh water is always available, give them lots of love and attention and send you regular updates so you know how they’re doing. I treat every home with respect, leaving it just as I found it, so you can relax knowing both your pets and your space are well cared for.
About: I’ve been using borrow my doggy for the past 2 years and looked after a few dogs over that period. I tend to look after the same ones as I find it easier once a relationship is built with them and their owners. I’m super easy going and not precious about them getting on furniture or sleeping on my bed but am also respectful of what the owners rules at home are! I currently work full time, over 4 days a week, so would be available for evening walks/company or weekend sleepovers. I would love a dog of my own but cannot commit at the moment, so I find this the perfect way to get my fix Currently live at home with my parents, with a big gated garden. I’m very mindful of other people’s dogs in public spaces and am aware of signs when a dog may feel distressed. I’m also more than happy for them to get on the furniture and sleep on my bed if that’s what the owner allows:)
“Morgana was very caring with my puppy when I had to leave him home alone for the first time when I went back to work. She made sure he was well looked after and she sent lots of update pictures too. Would recommend to anyone in the area.”

Alice and her partner Ronan both stayed at our house to sit our 3 dogs. Alice is great at sending updates and keeping in touch, and our 3 boys seemed to settle instantly with them both. Our house was left spotless and knowing our dogs were in good hands made our trip away less stressful. We look forward to booking Alice for dog sitting for future trips away!

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 Carlisle 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 Carlisle 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.
