“Rachel was very easy to communicate with, and Maple was evidently having a great time with Rachel. Only issue would be the worry that your pet will like Rachel more than yourself! Highly recommend”
About: I grew up with three cats and two dogs. I have a deep understanding of feline body language and emotional needs. I am patient in building their trust and happy to play with them. I have just completed my Master's degree at the University of Leeds and am approaching graduation. I'm currently in a free and fulfilling life transition, travelling and writing as a way of exploring the world. My schedule is highly flexible, and I'm available for most of the day to give cats my full attention. Pet care isn't a chore for me, because it's a natural part of daily life, and I genuinely cherish the quiet, gentle moments spent with animals. I have lived in both a house with a private garden and a high-rise city apartment, which gives me hands-on experience caring for cats in very different environments. I understand the specific considerations each setting requires: in a garden, that means monitoring escape routes and keeping an eye out for other animals; in an apartment, it means securing windows and ensuring balcony safety. Wherever I am, I always carry out a quick safety assessment so cats feel relaxed and well looked-after even in an unfamiliar space. I'm also a passionate photographer, and I love documenting the little moments of a cat's day through photos and videos. Owners can always count on regular updates, so they feel connected and reassured even when they're away.
About: RSPCA volunteer and animal lover with 2 plus years experience with a variety of animals, of all ages. Would always love to meet more and help! Use this code for money off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/elizas14542 Currently working part-time (2/3 days a week in evenings) so are very available throughout most days and weekends if needed, also flexible with this too. I have a fenced garden, with no other animals in the house as of right now, allowing me to take care of pets as needed.
“This is the second time I've booked Jess for drop in visits for my cats while on holiday, I have 5 cats one of which has cerebellar hypoplasia and is a little bit wobbly, they all love Jess and I have no problems leaving them in her care. I get daily updates, pictures and video's while away. Would definitely recommend 5 🌟”

About: I have a 10 year old dog, and 10 years of personal experience of loving, caring and treating her as the family member that she is. I am a very active person and know many amazing walks around my area, you can rest assured that your dog will be well exercised and tired out when they return to you( in a good way!). I always remember that while most people see taking their dog out as a chore or something they have to do, that walk is the best part of the day for the dog, the thing they look forward to. For this reason it becomes the best part of my day too, and no walk will be short lived or boring. I also have some experience training dogs and puppies, through training my own. I know how to train basic skills like obedience, sitting, laying down, rolling over, and best of all high fives. I also trained my dog some key walking skills for when we are out, for example walking on a lead, stopping and staying at roads before crossing, fast and slow commands on the lead and returning when off the lead and called. If you have a puppy or dog who needs a little training I am happy to get involved and try and help. I currently work part time in after school clubs, for just a couple of hours a day Monday to Friday. I am out of the house from 2.30 to 4.30pm ish. I have the rest of the day at home so have plenty of time to care for, walk and train your doggies. If your dog is okay with being left alone for 2 hours at the most, I can board any day of the week and anytime. If your dog is not okay with being left alone for this length of time I can board on weekends where I have no work and all my time for your dog :) I have a fenced garden which they can explore, with no worry of them escaping. It is a fairly large garden with a small beck for them to splash in! I will walk them twice a day, or as specified by you, along with my own lovely dog to keep them company. If you provide me with feeding times and any specific details you would like me to follow, so that we can make their experience as homelike and comfortable as possible, that would be great and I will follow exactly.
“I am delighted with the care that Ruby has given to my cat and how carefully she looked after my home - including alerting me when she had a concern. I will definitely be booking her in the future! The pictures that she sent me clearly showed that my lovely cat was completely safe and comfortable with her! She was even waiting for her after the first day or two! 😊❤️”
“Davena was great with my two sausage dogs. She came over to meet them before the first drop in as well which helped to put them at ease when she arrived. Davena is a lovely person and I would recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs. This experience has not only shown my love for animals but has also helped me develop a strong confidence in looking after dogs and understanding their behavior. It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp. While my living area isn’t very spacious, I can guarantee that your dog will receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure to take them out for walks in a secure and safe environment where they can enjoy themselves. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.
About: Hi, my name is Sicong Lu, you can call me Judy! I am a very communicative and patient person. I am an international student from China. I love dogs very much and have great enthusiasm and patience with them. I have a very lovely Shiba Inu in China and I have been looking after him since he was two months old, he is now two years old and is a very healthy and happy dog. I missed him a lot as I came to the UK to study and couldn't bring him with me. I think I have a lot of experience in taking care of dogs, I understand dog body language, how to play with them, and how to make dogs healthier. I'm study at The University of Leeds. I have a lot of free time. I really hope to meet more lovely dogs in this beautiful city which will be an unforgettable memory for me , and I really enjoy the time spent with dogs. If you need help and are willing to trust me, I am sure your dog will have a great time with me! I live alone in the city centre so I have a space for pets. My studio is a warm and safe place for pets living. It is easily accessible and convenient for me to come and look after your dog or take them out for a walk.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Craven 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. 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.
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.
