“Rachel has been an incredible sitter for our darling girl. Communication has been extremely professional throughout, from arranging the first meet right until handing over after our return home. Rachel kept us up to date with daily photos of Cleo on walks and playing. Our girl looked so happy and comfortable throughout. When we returned home the house was immaculate and small things let you know Rachel really cares about the animals she looks after and the experience of her customers! Our dog had played so hard with a toy it ripped but Rachel sourced a new one for her knowing how much she likes playing with it! I wouldn’t think twice about asking Rachel to look after our girl again, she has been a dream discovery for us and goes above and beyond!”


“Rowan came to us for the second time and she was excellent. She is so caring and considerate of my two eldery dogs, whilst still managing a very active pup. She spoilt them in all the good ways and I'm sure they missed her when we came home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rowan. She came to our house and stayed over. We absolutely trusted her with our home and our pups.”

“It was our first time using Carrie to look after our dog, Arlo. She sent lots of pictures and videos of Arlo & Bella playing in the fields together, gave plenty of updates and was always easy to contact. The house has been left spotlessly clean including bed sheets and towels all washed for our arrival which was not expected at all. I think she even bathed our dog too which again completely exceeded my expectations. I’ll be very grateful and happy to use Carrie again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much Carrie & Bella xx”

About: I babysit lot so along with this, I have to take care of the pets of the families I work with as they are an extension of the family and I love it so much cause I’m able to build one in a relationship with the pets and they also create a place in my heart for them i’m currently on summer break as a nursing student so a typical day would be starting at around 7 am and my workday finishes at around 10 o’clock so that gives me a lot of free time to walk the dogs. Give them brakes to use the toilet and play with them, give them some snuggles give them some treats and just play with them I live in a fully serviced building, which is incredibly pet friendly and as a result of this the chances of them running away/escaping is very low and I’m not able to offer boarding, but I am able to pet walk your dog come in and do sit - ins with them and bring them over during the day
“Samantha was great - she followed Caspian’s routine and kept me updated with loads of photos. He was very happy when I got home and if I’m honest I think he’s been missing her since! Will definitely ask her to look after Caspian again in the future, as he clearly had a great time. Would enthusiastically recommend Samantha to anyone considering a sitter!”


“Debbie was fantastic as soon as she arrived I knew she was the perfect sitter for my pets! Excellant would highly reccommend to anyone looking for pet sitting services. Deserves 10 stars!”


“Elizabeth was great at looking after Tamu - thank you so much! She was very communicative with me sending messages and pictures regularly, which was very reassuring. She also left the house looking great too. Would happily recommend Elizabeth others.”


“Very pleased with Tracy looking after Russet. Tracy always replied promptly to communications and looked after Russet and the house well. Would request Tracy again if she is agreeable.”

About: Since starting pet sitting in April'19, I have now completed over 157 weeks of care, from the -30'C Canadian winters to the near 50'C summer in Dubai, remote Caribbean island to the hustle of capital city. Dogs & cats are equally loved, from Mini Dachshund to Bernese Mountain dogs, sleepy Pug to energetic Collie pups. So many happy memories and stories to tell. I feel honored and proud of my 5* feedback & references which are all far more important than anything I could write in my profile, and I have completed all verification available to me on this forum. Please help me to help you & your furry friends whilst you are away. Get in touch and we can arrange a call, skype, What'sApp or Zoom to make sure we would be a perfect fit. Communication is key. During my career as a Quality Manager, I always operated with the upmost professionalism, with integrity and in an open & honest way, and endeavored to instill these values to all of my team. Your house sit would be no different. I have been used to global pet sits of 1 to 2 months at a time, but equally, as I type, I'm sharing the sofa with a new furry pal in Suffolk for the week. It is unlikely that I would take any offers below 7 days. I am looking for pet sits during vacation from work. As such, my schedule would be adaptable to best match that of your beloved pet. I'm happy to explore the local woods & surroundings for up to 3hrs, dependent on the needs of your dog, and would keep to all of their normal scheduled meal / rest times. I like to pet sit to be with the pets, it is that simple. I could fly away and lay on the beach for a week or so, or maybe take myself away to the nearest ski resort, but that is nowhere near enjoyable as plotting a route to explore the woods using Ordinance Survey Apps with a new pal by my side, or playing fetch, tug or grooming. And I don't know why, but a nice pint in a quintessential British pub always tastes better with a pal at your heels.
“We could not of been any luckier with coming across Barbara, our dog Kasper took to her straight away and settled really easily. She did everything and more that we'd of hoped for, to which saw Kasper cuddle up to her... Something he doesn't do often!! We will definitely be using their expertise again”

“Helen was fantastic, we would highly recommend her as a house/pet sitter and we will be using her again. Our dog Shelby had a lovely time whilst we were away for 2 weeks, and the house was immaculate when we returned! We received regular updates from Helen, she was friendly, professional and very attentive when caring for Shelby. Thank you Helen! X”

“Olivia was fantastic with our two boys. She took the time to come and visit them before the booking and asked loads of questions to make sure she was able to care for them the best she could. Olivia stayed in contact throughout giving us updates on the boys. She ensured both boys went on walks even though one of them is tricky on a lead and can be reactive. They both seemed to love her partner. I would definitely book again!”

“As soon as we met Lee we felt very comfortable with him. Our two dogs were content and knew from what he told us he worked out their little traits. Pour dogs were happy with him and we will definitely use again. House was just as we left it (if not better). Thank you xxx”

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 Craven 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 Craven 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.
