About: I believe pets aren’t just animals - they’re family. That’s why everything I do is built around trust, compassion, and genuinely personalised care. I’m an animal lover with a CPD Accredited Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming, Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, offering professional dog walking, pet sitting, puppy and kitten care, and overnight house sitting tailored to suit each pet’s unique personality, age, and individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for young puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle handling they require. From helping puppies build routines and supporting toilet training, to providing slower-paced, comfort-focused care for older dogs, and calm, attentive support for pregnant dogs, I treat every stage of a pet’s life with the care and respect it deserves. No two pets are the same, which is why I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special requirements. I am fully insured and DBS checked, giving you complete peace of mind whether you’re at work, away for the day, or enjoying a holiday. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing, and happiness always come first. Whether your dog needs an energy-burning walk, your senior pet needs gentle companionship, or your puppy or pregnant dog requires extra reassurance and care at home, I offer reliable, loving support you can trust. With regular updates, photos, and open communication, you’ll always know your furry family members are in safe, caring hands. Because for me, it’s not just pet care - it’s care with heart 🐶🐱💛 I work as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, offering flexible availability from Monday to Sunday, because I understand that your furry friends need love, care, and routine every day of the week - not just weekdays. Dog walks and drop-in visits are available between 7:30am and 7:30pm, allowing for both early starts and evening care to fit around your schedule. House sitting services are arranged on an individual basis and will be discussed in detail with each owner to ensure the best possible care for your home and pets. My aim is to provide reliable, consistent, and stress-free care that works for both you and your pets 🐾💛 The safety, comfort, and wellbeing of every pet in my care is always my top priority. All services are provided in the pet owner’s home or out on walks, allowing pets to remain in familiar surroundings and continue with their normal routines. Before any service begins, I take the time to get to know each pet through an initial meeting and a detailed pet information form. This helps me understand feeding routines, exercise needs, medical requirements, behavioural traits, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs, and I adapt my care to suit each pet’s individual needs - from gentle handling and slower walks to increased supervision and reassurance. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I treat both the pets and the property with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions provided, maintain home security, and aim to keep routines as consistent as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. During house sitting services, pets receive companionship, attention, and calm, reliable care while their home remains secure. For dog walking services, I assess each dog individually, use secure leads and harnesses, choose safe walking routes, and closely monitor behaviour at all times. Walks are tailored to each dog’s age, health, and energy levels to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. I am fully insured and DBS checked, and I maintain clear, open communication with owners throughout every service, including regular updates and photos. My aim is to build long-term trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, compassionate care in a safe and familiar environment.

Rebecca did an amazing job with our cat. Even though we requested her services at the last minute, she was very accommodating and helpful throughout the booking and meet & greet process. Definitely recommended!

I can’t recommend Julie enough as a dog sitter! She has been absolutely amazing with my cocker spaniel, Buddy. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Buddy warmed to her instantly, and I could tell he felt comfortable and happy in her company. Julie takes him on lovely long walks, making sure he gets all the exercise and stimulation he needs, and she always goes the extra mile to ensure he’s well cared for. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and kind hands. It’s clear that Julie not only loves what she does but also understands dogs really well. Buddy came home happy, relaxed, and very well looked after. I feel so lucky to have found her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

So glad that we found Jess to care for our very old and adored cat. Jess was amazing, sending daily photos and videos and really cared for Minnie. Thank you so much - we were able to really enjoy our holiday without the worry of her stressing in a cattery. I can highly recommend Jess - she is a star!

Trina has been excellent! I came home to a very chilled cat and a tidy house. It's the first time I have been away and left my cat for so long. She came to meet me and Oren before I went away which put me at ease. Trina sent regular updates and photos of him, which helped me not to worry so much. Will definitely use again the next time I am away!

About: I offer a loving, kind and attentive home for your dog/s to come and enjoy whilst you are away with my equally as dog loving partner Matthew so your pup will never be short of company.We have plenty of toys, bones and treats, exciting walks and trips out on a weekend to offer. We have a client form we ask new clients to fill out to assess the dog’s needs and requirements to ensure we have their details to hand at all times. We will also send many pictures and videos to keep your mind at ease whilst you are away. We love looking after animals and we are both very experienced in dog behaviours and can replicate positive training with your pup. They will receive natural treats, fresh fruits and veg (should you/the dog wish) as a welcome to our home. In the summer period, we will ensure there is plenty of shade in the garden, full water supply and ice cubes to hand to keep your dog safe in hot weather (that we will hopefully get in the UK!). ———— From Yorkshire terriers to German Shepard’s, Spaniels to Labrador’s - we have experience or a wide range of different breeds, ages, sizes and dog numbers! We have even looked after 5 dogs at once for a whole week! We look forward to meeting you and your doggy/doggies 🐾 I work from home three days a week and I am on a flexible working plan, whereby I can start/finish work at different times. I will be able to offer walking morning, lunch, evening. Matthew typically starts work early mornings but finishes in good time due to self-employment. We have a secure locked back garden with tall fencing and outdoor seating where I can work outside and keep an eye on the doggies playing. We are a 2 minutes walk away from large, quiet park where dogs can be off the lead safely and lots of room for playing fetch should you feel comfortable for off lead walking. We also have access to a vehicle for weekend adventures (weather permitting!). DBS checked ✅ K9 first aid certified ✅ **DISCLAIMER** We will NOT look after dogs from different households at the same time and will look after a maximum of 4 dogs from the same household or who are familiar with each other i.e family/friends dogs. This is because we want your dogs to feel as safe and comfortable as possible and we cannot predict the interactions of dogs who are unfamiliar to each other.

Maisie was extremely excellent with my babies ( 3 cats) . My cats are extremely spoiled and are mainly indoor cats ( outside only with supervision). They are also very weary of people, especially my oldest , Olaf who is a big antisocial grump. My two younger cats , Sven and Aurora really adored her and felt comfortable with her. These are some extra things she did that made me feel so comfortable with her and made me love her 1) she always played with my babies, giving them rubs, and even made box castles for them, which the loved! 2) she always tidied their eating area, washed their food bowls and mats and cleaned up any food bits on the floor! 3) she even tidied up my kitchen!!!! Where i kept their packs of dry treats! And always checked their water. 4) I extremely loved that she took lots of pictures of my babies, their food bowls ( before and after she put their food), their litter boxes before and after cleaning ( so i could see their poop), she even changed the litter sand once it got saturated with pee!!! And put in fresh litter! 5) she even cleaned up messes and poop outside the box that Olaf was doing in protest of me not being there . 6) she even asked about Olaf eating, because he was not coming out when she came around ( that really touched me) 7) she was always punctual and efficient 8) She followed all the instructions and went over and beyond) in a great way), i have different types of dry and wet food, with special types for each cat, and she did great! 9) She gave my babies dreamies treats, and won their favour 10) She definitely has a good aura, because my babies really loved her. And best of all, I came back to a clean house, clean litter box and happy well fed babies( Aurora even gor fatter and bigger in my absence!). This is my first time ever using a pet sitter, because I am very protective about my babies and they usually travel with me.. but i must say, Maisie was beyond my expectations, and now I know that I will definitely use her again, and I can now travel without having to take my babies with me. I strongly recommend Maisie! ( but make sure you allow her have availability for me when next I need her 😸😺😻… lots of love from me and my babies- Olaf , Sven and Aurora 💛🩵🧡

Responsibilities can also include administering medication (as per guidance from owner), providing companionship and cleaning up after the pet. Key skills are a passion for animals, over 20yrs experience.

About: I really miss dogs and would love to share a new friendship with local doggies 🐶 I love being outside and walking and would love to have an excuse to be out and about, and dog walking is the perfect reason. I work in healthcare, but regular hours and so I'm free on evenings and weekends 😊 I'm always going for walks anyways! I can't have my own pet due to being out of the house too long at any one time, so would love to have quality time with local dogs instead!! I value dog and owner safety first and foremost, but also want dogs to have a fun and enjoyable time. I am always aware of my surroundings and am aware of how to keep dogs safe etc.

Corey looked after my boy this weekend for the second time and took such good care of him again! The photos and updates were lovely and kept my mind at ease whilst I was away. Ziggy loved having Corey to play with him and make a fuss of him! I won't hesitate to ask Corey again next time I'm away and I recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you again Corey! Becky and Ziggy x

Rebecca took very good care of my little cat, Susie. She provided detailed updates and pictures on every visit, so I had no worries about Susie when I was away. Susie can be very shy of strangers but she came and took treats from Rebecca on the first visit! Will definitely ask Rebecca for help next time I go away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - East Riding of Yorkshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Riding of Yorkshire on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 204 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in East Riding of Yorkshire. About 94% of East Riding of Yorkshire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
