About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have looked after them myself feeding, walking, taking them out for the toilet, I’ve had 20 years experience around dogs. I currently only work 2 days a week and am working part time, the days I’m not working I would love to pet sit / dog walk as I love dogs.

We had never used a pet-sitting service before and we were very worried about leaving our 2 dogs and 1 cat with people they had only met once. One of our dogs has extra needs as he has an autoimmune condition and had his front left leg amputated last October and he needs a bit of extra care. Anyway, we had a meet up and Zoe and Emily were really lovely and friendly and our dogs took to them very well. When it came to the day of leaving them we were still concerned about how the dogs would be, but it was great. The girls kept us updated on when they were popping out, when they were back, when they took the dogs for a walk and we got loads of photos every day. Zoe and Emily treated our home like their own, they kept everything clean and tidy, and even watered our garden. When we came home the whole house had been given a spring clean too. We would not hesitate to use Zoe and Emily again and we highly recommend them to others. Thank you Zoe and Emily, we will certainly be using you again x

What a great lady. Stacey came out to meet Willow a few days before sitting for us, and they instantly bonded. We hadnt used a dog sitter before, but she instantly put us at ease. On the day, she arrived early, and again Willow went straight to her, very happy to see her. Stacey took Willow on numerous walks throughout the day, and sent us loads of photos and updates throughout. We would not hesitate in recommending her for anyone, and will definately use her again the next time we need a sitter.

About: I provide reliable dog walking and overnight pet sitting focusing on calm, structured care, maintaining routines, and lots of love. I am available for early morning walks, evening walks, overnight stays, and flexible weekend care. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, including larger and energetic dogs, and I am confident following individual routines including feeding, medication, and structured care. I work best with dogs who are comfortable with a morning/evening routine rather than constant daytime supervision (7am–6pm weekdays not available due to existing work commitments). Regular updates and communication are always provided, and I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, cat sitter, or someone to check in on your pets while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I love long walks, cuddles with furry friends, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m fully DBS-checked through my full-time role, and will bring the same professionalism, responsibility, and reliability to every pet I look after. At home, I have three cats of my own, and grown up with a variation of different dogs, from Dobermans to Jack Russels, so I completely understand how much your pets mean to you 💕 🕒 My Availability Before 7:30am: Quick morning walks or feeding visits Weekdays: House sitting available if pets are comfortable being left during working hours (approx 7:30am–5pm) After 5pm (Mon–Thu): Evening walks or drop-ins Fridays after 3:30pm: Extended walks or pet sitting Weekends: Flexible for walks, sitting, or overnight stays 💬 A Little Extra I’m patient, calm, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and notes after every visit 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s routine closely, from feeding times and walks to medication and play, so everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m fully DBS-checked through my full-time role, which is security focused, which means I take safety and trust very seriously. I’ll never share your personal details or access areas of your home unnecessarily. During visits, I double-check doors and gates are secure before and after walks, ensure water bowls are full, and always tidy up after pets. I send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. At my own home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of enrichment and affection for my three cats, so I completely understand how important it is for your pets to feel loved and secure.

About: With over four decades of dedicated experience, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages and a wide variety of breeds. My home, a comfortable 2-bedroom house, is ideally situated directly opposite a sprawling country park, providing endless opportunities for walks and outdoor adventures. I'm proud to say that the dogs I care for consistently show their happiness and eagerness to return. You can expect regular updates on your pet's stay. Every owner receives photos of their dog enjoying their time with me, typically sent via WhatsApp for convenience. I believe in keeping you fully informed and connected with your beloved companion throughout their visit. Being at home full-time allows me to fully commit to your dog's well-being. I focus on maintaining their established routines and ensuring they receive all the walks they need, treating each dog with the same love and attention I give my own. My property boasts a secure, fully fenced garden, perfect for safe play. The immediate proximity to the country park means daily access to expansive green spaces for exercise and exploration. Inside, my 2-bedroom home features practical, easy-to-clean flooring, making it perfectly suited for dogs, especially after muddy park adventures. I also have a friendly small dog who loves making new canine friends, ensuring a sociable and happy environment for your pet. Your dog's care will be tailored precisely to your wishes, and their familiar home routine will be diligently upheld. As a retired individual home most days, dog care fits seamlessly into my routine. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and companionship while managing errands. When it comes to looking after your beloved pets, I provide attentive, reliable, and loving care, whether in your home or mine. My services are tailored to meet the unique needs of your furry friends, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

This was our first experience with a outsider dog sitter, Usually use family but was unable to this time. Was a little apprehensive at first, but all was great. Jack was absolutely fantastic with Eva....he stayed at ours to sit Eva for 10 nights. He kept me updated daily on how she was doing and the things she was upto. She grew a very special bond quickly with Jack which was surprising with her being a rescue dog. Usually takes her a while, but within two meet and greets with him she was smitten. She actually seemed rather sad when he left 😔 😔 Jack will always be our go-to dog sitter in the future while Eva is still with us. 10/10 service.......thanks Jack.

About: Dogs have always been a passion of mine, I have grown up with dogs and dreamed of the day I could have my very own! Whenever I can you’ll find me walking the dogs, playing, training, napping…. I have experience with a variety of animals, hamsters, ferret to cats & dogs, farm animals like sheep & cows, horses too. After recently changing careers I’m now available for any of hours the day and week to accommodate for any busy schedules clients may have & special requirements their pets may need. I have a dog park local too me, at my own cost I pay for this and take the dogs here for a safe and secure location.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, having 3 family dogs in the home. I love the outdoors and walking loads too for the more adventurous dogs too! I work hybrid so have the flexibility to WFH meaning lots of cuddles and toilet breaks, plenty of walks and engagement. I also work half days on Friday so have the availability to walk on Friday afternoons too. I am happy to view homes before dog sitting and understand the environment in which your pet lives in, will require the basic needs of your dog before hand and learn about their habits (no off lead etc)

About: I regularly care for a friendly cocker spaniel, so it's important that your dog is comfortable around other dogs. I've been informally dog sitting for around two years now and I really enjoy it. I work an office job during the week, so I am available to help from Friday at 3pm until Sunday evening. I'm an active sitter and love a long outdoor adventure in all weathers. I'm just as happy to take a stroll on lead down my nearby lanes, engage in a game of fetch or have a cheeky snuggle on the sofa for the afternoon - sometimes its hard to tell who's having more fun :) Your dogs will be free to roam around the bungalow, which is based in a quiet cul de sac in Great Houghton. There are no rules to where they can go, they are free to enjoy beds, sofas and the small enclosed garden we have out the back of the bungalow. I will try to stick to your normal routines where possible and will of course send updates and photos as many times as you need, I want you to feel just as relaxed as your pet. I work Monday to Friday so I'm only available on weekends. I usually have a cocker spaniel on a Saturday so please only get in touch if your dog is comfortable around other dogs I'm in a quiet cul de sac with an enclosed garden. There are lots of fun walks near me in varying length. Animals that stay here are treated as members of the family and will be loved and cared for as you would your own :)

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy rather than just a job. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, a long adventure, or exploring new routes, I’m happiest with a four-legged friend by my side! 🌿🐕 I’m an active, caring, and reliable person who will always match the pace, personality, and energy of the dog I’m with—whether they’re full of zoomies or prefer taking life one sniff at a time. A little about my experience 🦴 I’ve had dogs for over 10 years and have regularly cared for the pets of family and friends, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and routines. I also have a Labrador of my own, so I know all about the energetic, slightly chaotic “crazy dog” moments! Whether your dog loves to run, play fetch, swim, or simply curl up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout our time together. Every dog is unique, so I’ll always take the time to get to know their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. ❤️ I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages 📸 so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m able to offer flexible availability Monday- Wednesday. I am happy to provide morning, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits where possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and provide a calm and caring environment while you’re away.

Viktoria looked after our sausage dog, Mabel, when we went away for 10 days, and I couldn’t thank her enough for how comfortable she made me feel leaving Mabel with her! We received regular updates on how they were getting on, and she even took Mabel for a pup cup at Starbucks! I would highly recommend Viktoria to anyone looking for a dog sitter!⭐️

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, and puppies. My background in education has taught me to be patient, observant, and highly attentive—qualities that translate directly into excellent pet care. I’m confident handling energetic pets who need active engagement as well as calmer or senior animals who require a gentler, more structured routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, genuine affection for animals, and strong communication skills. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and stimulated while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, reinforcing positive behaviours, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets with slower-paced walks, medication reminders, and extra care when needed. My goal is always to make your pet’s time with me feel like a second home—safe, fun, and full of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend bookings, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it's regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they’re never rushed and always get the time, patience, and engagement they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I’m looking after them in my home or in the owner’s home, I create a calm, structured, and secure environment so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, keep a close eye on the pet’s behaviour, and maintain a clean, tidy environment. I respect the owner’s space and ensure their home is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

Definitely would recommend! We have a massive Bernese mountain dog that has always been super shy but Jamie was great and pet sat her for a day while we were down in London! Because our dog is shy he even came to meet her before hand so they could get to know each other first. By about mid day he sent me pics and videos over WhatsApp of our happy girl running around the garden and getting pets. Made the process really easy and we felt reassured! Would book again. ☺️

FAQs for House Sitting - Doncaster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Doncaster on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,564 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Doncaster. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Doncaster 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 Doncaster 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.
