About: Pets have always been part of my life. I’m gentle, patient and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like family, with plenty of love and care. I work from home always, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your dog attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks and visits, including weekends and weekdays. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure community garden and two friendly dogs who are used to having dogs and Cats companies. I can keep the pets separated when needed and provide a calm, supervised environment tailored to their individual needs.
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. I’m a 20 year old girl and I’ve grown up around dogs since a young age and grown up around large dogs such as Great Danes and smaller dogs such as small greyhounds, I listen and read instructions carefully, I’m a polite and well mannered individual who’s looking to earn abit of extra pocket money whilst doing something I love which is being around dogs 🐾
“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.”
“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”
About: Experienced, patient, and passionate about dogs. I’ve cared for pups of all ages and sizes, always offering personalised, loving care in a calm, safe environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I plan my day around walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles with my own dog, Oakley. Having other dogs join us just adds to the joy. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone and will always have company, structure, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning strolls, afternoon garden play, or quiet evening snuggles, caring for dogs is built into my everyday routine — and I genuinely love it. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll enjoy a calm, comfortable space with plenty of attention, affection, and play. I stick closely to their usual routines — from feeding schedules to sleeping habits — to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. With a large, secure garden and regular daily walks, they’ll get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I keep things clean, safe, and full of love, ensuring every dog feels at home. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely and keep everything as familiar and comforting as possible.
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: While I don’t currently have my own dog, I have in the past had two dogs and I would love to again in the future. In the meantime I really want to spend more time around dogs as I absolutely love them. I’m an avid walker so I think that would go hand in hand with taking your playful pets out and about whether that’s to a local park or dog field. I’m also happy to do overnight stays for pet sitting. I’m a shift worker so tend to have a lot of evenings/nights free and I know my rota for the rest of the year so I’m able to work around that to offer the best to your pets. I’m happy to do drop ins/walking services even on my days that I work either before or after I finish and on my days off I’m available all day. I am able to care for pets in your own home by offering a safe environment where pets will be comfortable and have all their needs met. For walking I would prefer to keep pets on a leash so if this isn’t suitable for your dog please let me know.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life since being born, I have been responsible for 4 of my own dogs and 2 cats my whole adult life. I do help out with a lot of my friends furbabies aswell. It would fit in really well as would be my main job, my cleaning job is 100% flexible so would fit in amazing for sure. I have a fenced garden, and plenty of areas close by for excersice, I have a space for time out and have all the love in the world to offer.
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from my own two Lop bunnies, dogs, cats and even the occasional hamster, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs consistent playtime, a senior dog who requires gentle walks and medication, or a shy cat who needs patience to warm up, I adapt my care to each pet’s personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart • I send frequent photo and video updates, so you’ll feel connected to your pet while you’re away. • I’m calm, patient, and attentive • I have experience giving oral medication and providing special diets. • I care for each animal as if they were my own — with love, safety, and comfort as my top priorities. Your pet will never be “just another booking” to me — they’ll be part of my extended furry (or fluffy) family. 🐾 Schedule I am a full time pet sitter now! This means I’m nearly always home and always ready for walks, playtime, or those all-important belly rubs. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and maybe even a few extra treats (shhh, don’t tell!).🦴 Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is completely pet-proofed to keep curious paws safe, and I have a large, fully fenced garden where pets can play and explore off-leash. Any little accidents will be cleaned up quickly and without fuss — because pets will be pets!💩 Plus, all my furniture is fair game for snuggles, naps, and belly rubs. If I’m caring for your pet in their own home, I treat your space with the same respect I give my own — following your instructions carefully and keeping your pet’s routine smooth and stress-free. I’m committed to building trust through clear communication, regular photo updates, and a gentle, patient approach tailored to your pet’s personality.
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.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Doncaster
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. ☺️

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.
