“Nasha was absolutely fantastic, she kept me up to date with pictures and messages and looked after my Skyla as if she was her own. I would have no hesitation in using her again, she is super trustworthy and extremely friendly😊”
“Having recently relocated we were in search of a new dog sitter. Our dog is 15 and needs daily medication, he is also anxious when left. We were keen to find someone who understood this and who would take care of him whilst we were away for a weekend. It is also a bit daunting to have someone staying in your house. All I can say is that Nichole was great and everything went well. Nichole was very understanding, calm and reassuring, she sent photo's twice a day over the weekend and we returned to a happy dog. Nichole looked after the house and we would definitely recommend her - in fact she is sitting for us again later in the year.”
“Evie house sat for our four dogs and (just one!) cat while we went to a family wedding. She was excellent. Very engaged before the booking and provided a great service allowing us to enjoy the wedding without any concerns. We have no hesitation in recommending her.”
“Sophia was great looking after our chihuahua and two cats - you can really tell how much she loves animals. Our pets got lots of cuddles and were really happy with her - we would use her again! 😊”
“Lara was terrific. She got along with our dog instantly. She asked good questions about exercise, routine, food… We felt very comfortable having her stay in the house and we retuned to clean home with a happy dog. We will definitely book her again.”
“Clare is absolutely lovely and took such great care of my cat, Ted. Ted had a great time hanging out with her and was very happy and content. Clare left the house absolutely spotless and had also gone to the trouble of getting me a lovely gift when I got home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Clare for house sitting :)”
“We'd like to thank Izzy for looking after our three dogs and our home so well. They weren't all that excited to see us when we returned which is always a sign that they enjoyed being looked after by someone else. Thanks again, Izzy.”
About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.
“I cannot recommend Elisha highly enough. She took great care of my 2 golden retrievers. She followed all my instructions and when I returned the dogs were very calm and happy. Elisha is kind, caring, helpful and very friendly. I will be booking her again next time.”
“This is the first time I’ve left my dog with a sitter and I couldn’t have asked for better. My dog Barker was completely at ease from the very first minute which is a real testament to how Madeleine is with dogs. She kept us up to date throughout our holiday with fab pictures and stories which showed that our dog was having a brilliant time and was relaxed and happy. The house was in perfect condition on my return too, A very happy customer!”
About: I’ve taken care of a range of animals my whole life, my neighbours have asked me to take care of their pets ranging from a quick pop in to feed the cat, a lap round the village with the dog, putting the geese away at night and dog sat for many an evening. I am a student who has just moved home from university and am writing my dissertation so I have a very free and open schedule at the moment. I ensure that I have asked the owners all necessary questions in order to feel comfortable with the animal and ensure I can provide them with the very best care.
About: Retired professional and life long dog owner/lover. I can offer a your dog a home from home dog care experience, contact me with your requirements. I can offer dog walking, house visits and overnight stays, either at your home or mine. I am DBS checked (August 2021) and am fully insured to provide dog care services. As I am now retired from my 9 to 5 job I have plenty of time to accommodate dog sitting/walking, depending upon the number of weekly/daily bookings. Dogs will be treated as if my own in both the dogs own home and my own. The front and rear of my property is fenced/gated.
About: We are a married couple who have been living and teaching in Dubai for the past 25 years. During that time, we happily raised our two children here, and this year we’ve just seen our youngest follow her brother to university in the UK. With this exciting new chapter ahead, we’re ready for a new adventure—combining our love of travel with our lifelong love of dogs. Dogs have always been an important part of our lives. Over the years, we have fostered dogs and we adopted our lovely retriever Lizzie, who was a truly cherished member of our family. We’ve also cared for a variety of family dogs and dog sit poochies - including: dachsunds, cockapoos, spaniels, terriers, mixed breed, bichons and weimaraners - Deb grew up with a labrador - so we’re very comfortable with furry friends of different breeds, personalities, and needs. We also have excellent dog-sit references and reviews. We are genuine dog lovers who believe dogs should be part of everyday life. Long walks, companionship, and plenty of affection are all part of our routine. We’re calm, reliable, clean, and tidy, and we take great pride in being respectful of other people’s homes. When we stay in your home, we will treat it as if it were our own, and your dog as if they were part of our family. Myself and my wife are semi-retired teachers who work from home. We are therefore extremely flexible regarding location and the duration of the sit. We offer a bespoke service that will adhere to the requirements of the dog owner and the needs of our furry friend. We will provide a safe and loving environment while you are away.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and done volunteer work in dog shelters abroad. I’ve had four dogs of my own who all lived to old age, alongside dog boarding for friends and families dogs. More recently my blind diabetic dog who was 17. I have experience in caring for all breeds and sizes of dogs, including puppies and older dogs requiring medications. I understand how difficult it can be finding dog care and not wanting to use kennels which can be stressful for dogs. I live in a large dog friendly house on a nature reserve, with lots of walks on my doorstep and a large doggy day care room where dogs can play or chill out on the large dog sofa, beds. Whilst I am not ready to have any more dogs of my own, I miss having dogs around and I’m in the ideal position to be able to look after your dog/dogs here in the Peak District. I’m offering a bespoke dog boarding, day care, tailored to your dogs requirements. Rest assured that your dog will be on a holiday of its own with me.

We will be going on lots of long walks together and having fun. My house is very dog friendly and your dog would be free to roam around all the house. I would keep your dog in the same routine as you’d have at home. Your dog could have access to supervised outdoor space and would be taken on regular walks. Please note, I do not have a big garden but I do have an outdoor yard and decking areas, also a small front garden and patio area. Dogs would have regular walks. I have done volunteer work in dog shelters and can handle all types of dogs. I am also experienced in managing any physical ailments such as diabetes etc.
About: I have been regularly dog sitting for a lovely elderly dog while its owner is at work or on holiday. I have always had dogs and cats growing up and have two cockapoos of my own now. I have bred cockapoos too and happy to help with any tips with whelping / puppy care I work part time from home with flexible hours, so I can work easily anywhere as long as I have wifi from Monday to Saturday. If you let me know your routine I will follow it, happy to send regular photos and updates of your pet so you can be assured they are ok and enjoy your holiday or be reassured if your working away. My dog has to sleep with someone and is very needy so I’m ok with that too!
About: I’ve spent years caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, giving me hands-on experience with a breed that’s energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. From daily walks and grooming to managing routines, training, and lots of playtime, I’m comfortable handling dogs with high energy and big hearts. I know how to keep pups happy, safe, and engaged, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every dog I look after. I’m happy to be available to look after your adorable pets any evening after I finish work as an apprentice at 3pm or on any weekends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With years of hands-on experience caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, I’ve learned how to create a calm, structured, and secure environment for dogs of all personalities. I keep a close eye on routines, body language, and comfort levels to ensure every pup feels safe and understood.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was about 8 years old. Growing up on a working farm, we always had much loved pets. Friends and family have relied on me to house sit while looking after their pets, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and feeding them. I’m experienced with handling multiple animals, including special needs senior doggies and high energy puppies of all sizes. I love all animals, and adore dogs especially. Pet sitting is a happy medium for me as I cannot have pets in my current rented accommodation. I'm currently working part time remotely, so I will have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks (or runs for those energetic pups) and play with it. I'm available for boarding throughout the week. I will be very happy to take your dog on plenty of walks and/or just be the best cuddle buddy. I will provide all the care, attention, and love to your beloved pet as if it was my own.

“Cassie was so brilliant with my dog. He was a bit anxious at first and she gave him lots of belly rubs and helped him to settle. She sent pictures and updates throughout the evening so I knew he was well looked after and could enjoy the evening without worrying. I had needed to amend timings with Cassie and she was so accommodating and flexible. I will definitely book Cassie again on the future and would highly recommend. :)”

We couldn’t recommend Eve enough! Eve looked after our dog for a week while we were away on holiday, and she was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We felt completely at ease knowing she was being so well cared for, and it was lovely to know she was happy and settled while we were away. Eve was reliable, caring and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. She kept us updated throughout the week, which was really reassuring and meant we could properly relax and enjoy our holiday without worrying. We came home to one very happy and well looked after dog! 🐾 We’d have absolutely no hesitation in asking Eve to look after her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you so much, Eve!
Evie did a wonderful job looking after my cat, Ted, while I was on holiday. She made the effort to get to know Ted and learn about his routines and favourite toys before the visit. During my trip Evie kept me updated with messages and lots of lovely pictures of Ted so I could see he was happy. I came home to a spotless house and a very happy cat, who had enjoyed his week with Evie. He is already missing her. I would definitely recommend Evie and will be hoping to book her again in the future!
Eve is the perfect pet sitter! Our two sausage dogs absolutely loved her and you could tell how much she cared for them too. From her first introductory message all the way through to finishing a two-night pet sit, Eve was professional, friendly and a great communicator. She made us feel completely at ease knowing our boys and the house were in safe hands. The regular updates were really appreciated and our house was left in spotless condition - with two very happy, walked and waggy-tailed dogs to return home to. Thanks so much Eve, we will 100% be booking you again!

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 Derbyshire Dales 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 Derbyshire Dales 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.
