“I can’t recommend Dolly enough. She looked after our 4 cats and was amazing. She quickly got their personalities and needs and we got plenty of updates and could always contact her easily. Really caring and professional. ”
“Hannah was brilliant! She looked after our cat Tuna so well. We were very comfortable knowing he was being well looked after whilst we were away from him for the first time. Hannah provided consistent updates to us of him which was reassuring and eased our minds. We would definitely recommend Hannah and would love for her to help us out again in the future 😊”
“Holly-mai did a wonderful job of looking after my cat Munchkin. Followed instructions, perfectly, and left my cat happy, fed and calm.Wouldn't hesitate to have Holly -mai look after my boy again ! Thanks Holly- Mai.”
“Lilith was settled when I returned and enjoyed her time with Naomi. I felt very confident leaving her in Naomi's care! She was very communicative beforehand, kept me updated when I was away, and sent loads of pictures and videos. Thank you!!”
“Jasmine was an amazing sitter! She sent lovely daily photo updates and handled our cats perfectly, playing with the social one and respecting the shy one. She truly went above and beyond when she found a ceiling leak during a storm, alerting us immediately and helping dry the carpet. Trustworthy, proactive and caring. Highly recommended!”
About: Animals have always been part of our lives — one of us grew up surrounded by cats, the other by dogs — so caring for pets feels completely natural to us. As teenagers, we were the neighbourhood dog walkers, trusted to handle everything from quick midday walks to long adventures with energetic pups. We’ve raised our own pets too, and we’ve both had to say goodbye to elderly companions who needed slower walks, gentle reassurance, and lots of love in their final years. Because we work from home (and I have summers free as a teacher), we can offer flexible walking times that fit your dog’s routine. We love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog wants a fast-paced outing, a steady confidence‑boosting stroll, or a calm sniff‑filled wander, we’ll make sure they feel happy and cared for every step of the way. We have loads of time for pet care during the day. One of us works from home, so there’s always someone around, and with me being a teacher, I get long holidays that make our schedule even more flexible. It means we can fit walks, playtime, and company around your pet’s routine without rushing. We’re in our mid‑20s with no pets or children, and we have plenty of daytime availability — one of us works from home and I have lots of holidays as a teacher. Our garden is a good size and fully secure, giving dogs a safe space alongside their walks.
About: I've taken care of animals all my life! Whether it's tiny newborns up to elderly pets. I've currently just finished my Level 3 Animal Management college course which has given me valuable insight into all animals ranging from farm animals all the way to exotic and aquatic animals. It's given me skills on Small animal rehabilitation, Training, Grooming and general health. I have all the certification to prove! I have applied to become a veterinary nurse at my chosen university and i'm awaiting my grades for this year! I have always wanted to become a veterinary nurse since i was a child as i am strongly passionate about animals and their general day to day care. A little bit about my life: I have had pets all my life including dogs, aquatic fish, guinea pigs and hamsters. This has given me a great understanding of the day to day care needed for your pets needs. I have also sat for neighbours, friends and family members when ever i am needed as i couldn't think of anything better than to take care of their furry friends :) I'm currently working part time fully flexible at my workplace, i usually get my rota 2/3 weeks in advance and can always book certain days off if needed to accommodate your furry friends! With this i can easily assist on days i am needed and will provide reliable and quick responses when necessary. When it comes to accompanying your furry friends i will always ask if they have a specific routines or any special/restricted dietary requirements as i know this is very important! Unfortunately i do not offer to bring your animals to my house as i have a cocker spaniel aged 2 who is very easily excitable and can be too much for other dogs! Therefore when looking after your animals whether it's a toilet break or lounging around for naps, they will always be in my eye sight to guarantee their safety.
About: I’ve had dogs since childhood and understand that they need security and love, along with exercise and great care. A warm happy household awaits your furry family member! I currently work from home and have easy access to the park across the road, where our dog goes for his daily walk. There are plenty of other longer walks available nearby, too. I have a large secure fenced garden, perfect for a doggy friend for Monty. Our dog Monty loves all other dogs, even nervous ones! and puts them at ease.
About: I’ve had dogs/cats/horses all my life and very passionate about caring for all pets. I have worked at a dog kennels since I was 13-19 years old as well as completing work experience at a vets so I have a wealth of experience. I have frequently participated in pet sitting for family and friends whilst they have been away as I’m reliable and trusting. I’m a secondary school teacher so available after 5pm on Fridays across anytime at the weekends. I am also free all day anytime during the school holidays e.g half terms and the 6 week summer holidays. I have a large townhouse with plenty of access to lovely walks nearby as well as a fenced garden with patio and grass. Dogs are allowed on furniture too for lots of cuddles and fun play time!
“Kate came and did a drop in visit for my sausage dog Kevin!! Kate is professional, friendly and really cares about your pets. We got a message and some pictures of what Kevin had been up to which helped us knowing that he was well looked after! Kevin looked like he had loads of fun!! We will definitely be booking in with Kate again!!!!”
“Sarah is a friendly and very competant cat sitter. We’ve not had a cat sitter before but would defintely be booking her again for our next holiday knowing our cats will be well looked after. Sarah sent us an update and pictures of the cats on each visit which made us feel comfortable knowing the cats were all OK at home. Many thanks again Sarah.”
“Emily did a wonderful job caring for our cats. She had no problems giving Hobbes his daily pill, which was a huge relief as other carers have had difficulty with this in the past. She followed all the instructions we left and we will be happy to book with her again in the future. Thanks Emily!”
About: As a passionate and experienced animal lover, I offer reliable and caring dog sitting and walking services. I'm a 19-year-old who has been around dogs my whole life, and I've been walking family and friends' dogs for years. I've always loved animals, which is why I pursued a Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Animal Care, providing me with a strong foundation in animal health, welfare, and behavior. My practical experience includes working at a dog groomer that specialized in handling dogs with various behavioral issues, so I'm well-versed in understanding and managing different temperaments. At home, I have two friendly dogs of my own who are great with other pups, ensuring a harmonious environment if your dog stays with me. Your furry friend's safety and happiness are my top priorities! Regarding my availability I work part time but rest assured there will always be someone at home to let them out for the toilet. As when I leave for work everyone else arrives home from work. At home, I have two wonderful dogs; A boy toy poodle (unneutered) and a girl labradoodle (spayed). Both are very friendly and get along wonderfully with other dogs. However for everyone’s comfort I will arrange an initial meet and greet away from home to ensure all dogs are happy together before going ahead and booking you in. We have a large fenced garden that we are currently sorting out but the dogs still have access which they will always be supervised at all times so can’t get injured but as an alternative if they are staying for longer than a day and are okay with walks I’ll take them on 3 or more walks a day so can avoid the garden whilst we are in the process of sorting through it. I also drive so can offer pick up services if you have any issues with transport.
“Ione is an absolute star!! She has been so attentive with our boy while we were away and definitely 'gets' cats and all their quirks. Merry has been his usual happy self around her and we felt very comfortable leaving him under her care, even having just moved house with all the stresses that entails! Thank you so so much!!”
About: Ive had dogs from a very young age ranging from German shepherd to shih tzu's. I am passionate about dogs of all ages and sizes and believe my flexible approach allows me to provide the best care for your pet and deliver any special requests the owner might have. As an accounts professional that works from home caring for pets fits well in to my weekly routine. My job is quite laid back and this allows me plenty of time to provide the services requested by the owner. I am happy to care for your pet in my secure home or come to yours if you have an internet connection I can use. I have a fenced garden that your dog will always be kept safe in. When out on walks your dog will always be kept on a leash and I will ensure theyre kept safe at all times
“Keishia was absolutely amazing for our 2 dogs for a drop on visit. Both dogs are a bit crazy and she took on the challenge and smashed it. You can tell she loves all animals and also enjoys her job. She sent us loads of photos and videos from both visits and was great with answering any and all questions we had. She also came to meet them before hand and she was a really lovely person to even chat with :) Will definitely be using her services again! Thankyou Keishia x”

I was very comfortable leaving Roly in Shirley's care whilst I was away. Roly is a very anxious cat around new people so it's always hard to leave her, but I could see from Shirley's photos she sent whilst I was away that Roly was warming up to her - not an easy task!
We were really pleased with Elenya as our cat sitter. She followed everything we requested and took great care to make sure everything was done exactly as we had asked. Even though our cats weren’t always around and could be difficult to spot, Elenya was patient, reliable, and made sure to keep us updated. We really appreciated her attention to detail and the care she put into looking after everything while we were away. We would happily recommend Elenya to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter!
Had a fantastic experience booking Alice. From the initial communication (very responsive) through meeting her (both our pets liked her instantly) to her looking after our pets for a number of days, she's been absolutely superb. She is very dilligent and goes above and beyond caring for our pets attending to their needs within their home environment. She was great at updating us, relaying info and folllowing any instructions or requests perfectly to support our pets whilst we were absent. We came home to waggy tails and loud purrs. We and our pets have been delighted to find such a professional and wonderful petsitter and would hire her again without hesitation for future bookings.

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 Erewash 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 Erewash 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.
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.
