“Jamie is brilliant. Molly and Jesse were well looked after while we were away for 9 days. He sends regular video and photo updates. They love him. Thank you for looking after our kitties 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛”
About: I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with many cats and dogs throughout my nearly 50 years. My main attributes are caring for animals and taking a high level of care and responsibility for them. I have also cared for older cats and dogs towards the end of their life, who need more care and attention. Be it practical or emotional care. As a pet owner, I treat my clients pets in the same way I would care for my own. I left working offshore after 25 years, and now I’m looking forward to enjoying the next chapter. I am available at short notice generally. My garden has a small lawned area and is fenced and secure. I will leave someone’s property as tidy, or even tidier than I found it!!
“Paul has been walking koko for a few weeks now and I've got nothing but praise. He keeps me updated with photos and videos, is punctual, reliable and very experienced with handling Koko's personality quirks. Thank you very much, I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”

There is always at least one of us at home so can offer our services 24 hours per day,7 days per week. We have a large house and a lovely secure and fenced garden and we are located right next to a nature reserve which is perfect for lovely long dog walks. Downstairs we have 3 large spaces for all our furry friends to enjoy. We have ample amounts of space for crate training and boarding areas within the family home.

About: I've grown up with dogs and love walking my 9 year old beautiful rescue dog, along with friends dogs. Also happy to provide short check/let out visits I currently work part time so have lots of availability to provide flexibility for times of walks. Lots of local woodland and parks visited for times on and off lead if appropriate. I have a large fenced in garden. Safe and large enough for dogs to have a run around.I currently walk my own dog a few times a day and am very fit and active.
“Loki and Midnight were in great hands with Julie; she even left them a little present at the end of her visits. Julie came to meet the cats before we went away and I was able to show her where everything was. Would highly recommend and wil definitely be using her again; it was far less stressful for the cats to have someone look after them in their own home and Julie was fantastic and even gave me updates while I was away.”
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: I’ve had a love for dogs my whole life. I have been a full time dog walker for around 18 months now whilst also owning three dogs of my own. As well as the dog walking, I also offer drop in visits. I just love the special bond that I watch grow between myself and my dogs that I look after. I have some dogs in my care that are reactive, some are older and one in particular is fully blind. I’m currently a full time dog walker and as previously said, I also offer drop in visits. That being said if I stayed at your home looking after your dog, I would be out for a few hours at a time but would make it a priority that your dog wouldn’t be alone for too many hours. I would only agree to a pet stay if your garden and home is safe enough for the dog. Keeping your dog happy and well whilst within my care is essential to me.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have two family dogs at my mum’s house, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. During secondary school, I volunteered at Tia Rescue in Doncaster, helping care for dogs with different personalities and needs. While living in Canada, I also provided dog sitting for guests staying at Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, caring for dogs while their owners were out exploring or relaxing. I’m patient, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals — whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company and comfortable while you’re away. I currently can’t have a dog of my own where I live, so this is honestly the next best thing for me. I love getting to spend time with different dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe and well cared for. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop, so my schedule is flexible and gives me good availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting. I enjoy getting outdoors more and love spending time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you know your dog is safe and happy while you’re away. I live in a home with a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are when caring for someone else’s pet. I’ll always make sure dogs feel comfortable, well looked after and treated like part of the family while in my care.
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.

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’m fully DBS-checked through my full-time role, and will bring the same professionalism, responsibility, and reliability to every pet I look after.

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: 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.

Having Lisa look after my kitty certainly made all the difference! Usually on returning home, kitty's at the door mewing lots & circling my feet, or off sulking somewhere annoyed that I left & turns her nose when she sees me. On my return, my kitty cat was calm, happy, and immediately cuddly. A little too confident even.... She tried her luck to get out the door when I arrived at 1am! Thank you so much for lookin after my furbaby and for the update pictures! I felt much better knowing she was well looked after 😸
Paul has been walking koko for a few weeks now and I've got nothing but praise. He keeps me updated with photos and videos, is punctual, reliable and very experienced with handling Koko's personality quirks. Thank you very much, I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.
Thank you Mia for taking such good care of Teddy and Toby while we were on holiday. Due to limited internet we did not see the daily updates regularly but when we did it really put our minds at ease. We will definitely book you again. Both Teddy and Toby looked a lot happier staying at home rather than staying in the catery.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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

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.

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.
