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!

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: 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

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 all my life from Mini Shih tzus, staffys, boxers, bulldogs and German Shepherds. Have worked in kennels walking dogs and keeping them clean and healthy. Big animal lover and would treat any animal as my own, there welcome on the furniture ( with owners permission)and to run round my big garden. Have trained puppies and cared for my senior dogs till the end. Also had horses and have my BHS qualifications. So I'm very lucky to work from home so I would always be there. Available for boarding at all times to stay in my home. We have lots of great walks nearby, canal paths and a big fenced field. I have a large fenced garden, and a calm cosy environment. Dogs are free to roam around the house and would be well looked after.

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 full access which they will always be supervised. I also drive so can offer pick up services if you have any issues with transport.

About: As a couple we would make excellent dog sitters because we both bring a mix of responsibility, patience, and a genuine love for animals. Whether it’s going on long walks, sticking to feeding schedules, or providing plenty of playtime and affection, we are committed to making dogs feel safe and cared for. As a team, we balance each other’s strengths, whether that be handling high-energy pups or creating a calm, comforting environment, we are dedicated to adapting to their needs. Furthermore, we understand that every dog has its own personality and we are both ready to treat them like part of the family. I am a 21 year old newly qualified nurse, who is currently working as a bank carer so i have a fairly flexible schedule and im willing to help as much as possible. Me and my partner are currently saving to go travelling and we are hoping to move away to australia to begin my nursing carer so all of this extra work is a contribution to this. To ensure an animal is cared for in its owner's home, I would closely follow all provided instructions, stick to the pet's usual routine, and create a calm, familiar environment. I’d also keep the space clean, give the pet plenty of attention, and stay in regular contact with the owner to provide updates and address any concerns.

About: Hi, I’m Lakin, 23 years old, and I work in customer service. I’m looking to turn my love for dogs into something meaningful by providing a safe, loving home for your dog while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, having cared for three family dogs over the years. Looking after them has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always tailor my care to suit their individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring new places, or simply curling up on the sofa for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved throughout their stay. Your dog will be treated like part of the family in my home. I have a secure, enclosed garden where they can safely play, pets are welcome on the furniture, and we’re surrounded by fantastic walking routes to keep them active and entertained. I can board multiple dogs and will ensure every dog receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and one-to-one care. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication (if required), favourite toys, sleeping arrangements, and any special instructions. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and in safe hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐾 I work Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm, but I work close to home and can pop back during my lunch break to let dogs out for the toilet, provide company, and spend some time with them. Before and after work, I’ll ensure your dog gets the walks, exercise, playtime, and attention they need. Evenings and weekends are when I’m most available, allowing me to dedicate plenty of quality time to caring for your dog. Whether that’s longer walks, play sessions, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel loved and settled throughout their stay. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and will only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, ensuring every dog receives the care, attention, and routine they deserve. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet will be treated like one of the family. My home has a secure, fully enclosed garden, giving dogs a safe space to play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. As I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog will receive my full attention and can settle into a peaceful environment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and any special instructions you provide. Pets are welcome on the furniture if that’s what they’re used to, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and enrichment throughout their stay. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the utmost respect. I’ll keep everything clean and tidy, stick to your pet’s normal routine, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I also work close to home, which means I’m able to pop home during my lunch break for toilet breaks, company, or a quick play, helping to ensure your pet isn’t left alone for long periods.

Laura was able to help out with my two cats very last minute and was brilliant! I was pretty nervous leaving my 4 month old kitten for the two nights, but felt very reassured when seeing the report card & photo updates! My kitten loved Laura too which helped 😊 Would definitely recommend her services and use again in the future.

Nicola was great looking after my cat Hollie. She spent time to fuss her, feed her, and kept the area nice and clean. Hollie is quite shy but Nicola took the time to bond with her and this has made all the difference. I'd definitely recommend Nicola to anyone who wants a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you Nicola 🙂

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.

I am so happy I chose to work with Charlotte. She took really good care of my furbabies when I was away. Since, this was my first time working with a pet sitter, I was quite worried how it will turn out, but, she did a really good job. Definitely, will work with her again whenever I need help with my babies.

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.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

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.

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 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.
