About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 so have lots of experience from puppies to senior dogs, of all sizes. I have lots of time and energy to dedicate to your dog! I am currently home from uni for the summer so I’m very flexible! I am free seven days a week for walks, feeding, playing, sitting and boarding your dog I have a fenced garden and live very close to many great places for walking and playing with dogs. I have a senior lhasa poo that gets on great with dogs of all ages and sizes
“Thanks to Jess for dropping in daily particularly to feed my elderly cat. This meant that Holly didn’t have to leave the comfort of her home. Jess did a great job of feeding and emptying litter trays as well as cleaning up after any accidents. I would certainly recommend and would use again. Thanks Tina”
About: I’ve grown up with Border Terriers and currently have one of my own, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. From an early age, I’ve regularly looked after the dogs of family, friends and neighbours, giving me plenty of experience with different personalities, needs and behaviours. I’m confident in recognising when a dog needs space, reassurance or extra attention, and I always take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable. I genuinely love animals, especially dogs, and take pride in providing calm, caring and reliable pet care. My priority is to make sure every dog I look after feels safe, happy and well cared for. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I structure my day around walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent attention and care from morning to evening. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space and pets with respect. I follow the owner’s routines for feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions, while providing companionship, exercise, and attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, keeping their home clean and secure, and providing regular updates to owners so they have peace of mind.
About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I have trained for years doing what I love, caring for animals. I have experience pet sitting for work colleagues, friends and neighbours, attending to a variety of needs and requirements. This includes strict medication schedules, different daily walking requirements, and much more. I have experience caring for animals great and small, so no matter your pet, I can assure you they will be in great hands with me. I am looking forward to getting to know and caring for you fur babies! As a full time worker, I am available Monday evenings (after 7pm) Tuesdays all day, Thursday evenings (after 6pm) and Weekends. I will occasionally be required to work a Saturday shift which I will put up on my availability calendar. My work schedule can sometimes change so I will keep my availability calendar up to date. If unsure just message and I will happily do what I can to accommodate you! I am happy to travel to your home within 40 mins drive for house sitting, and 30 mins for a drop in/walk. but do not take pets into my own home due to having my own pets that like their own space.
“From the time that I met Peter I knew that my two cats would be carefully looked after, especially my 20 year old elderly cat. Peter provided excellent care and kept me informed about them. I returned to a lovely clean house and two happy cats. I would certainly recommend and would use again. Tina”
“Would highly recommend Claire’s services! So thorough, reliable and amazing with pets. We received regular updates and photos of our two cats whilst we were away for a week - and she even managed to get one of our very shy cats to come out of her shell! Will definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience looking after my mum’s and sister’s dogs while they’ve been away on holiday. I’ve cared for them in my own home, making sure they stick to their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Looking after pets has taught me how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. My availability may vary slightly depending on my work shifts, but I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care whenever possible. Feel free to get in touch with your dates, and I’ll always do my best to help. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, friendly, and welcoming home where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I don’t have any other pets, so your pet will have my full attention and won’t need to adjust to other animals in the home. Pets are welcome on the furniture if that is part of their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual habits and routines, including feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. I work part time, which means I am home a lot and can provide plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a roommate who is usually home when I am not, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am also happy to stay in your home if that is what makes your pet feel most comfortable. I understand that every pet is different and will always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care.
“We were really happy with the care Cleo received. She was well looked after, and the updates gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’d be very happy to book Armish again.”
About: I have had dogs throughout my life and have cared for several rescue dogs, from tiny breeds to large dogs. I have also spent significant time in India caring for street dogs, including helping injured dogs and vulnerable puppies. I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities, needs and backgrounds, and genuinely love giving them the patience, attention and affection they deserve. I’m currently studying with a flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and times. I can be flexible around your pet’s routine and am happy to accommodate different care needs and schedules. I believe pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar surroundings. I’m unable to offer boarding in my home, but I absolutely love spending time with animals in theirs. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, play and companionship while respecting their routines, personality and individual needs. My priority is that they feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
“This was my first time using a house sitter for my cat and I could've have asked for anyone better than Emma to guide us along. Everything went so smooth and it gave us peace of mind recieving updates for each visit. I couldn't recommend Emma more :)”
About: Pets have been in my family my whole life. This included Cats and Dogs, and my first pocket money was made walking my neighbours dogs as well as my own. I look after my family’s cat regularly as well as my partners cockapoo who loves performing tricks for treats! I welcome animals of all shapes and sizes. My partner and I work full-time but have the opportunity to look after animals due to our hybrid work set up. Meaning we are at home for 2 days during the week as well as weekends. We will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention it deserves. We are in a pet friendly apartment complex with secure balconies and a communal garden. There are countless parks, nature reserves and the natural beauty of the Surrey hills nearby. We also both drive and are well equipped with dog harnesses for safety.
About: If your dog could choose their own sitter, they’d probably pick someone who gives great walks, plenty of attention, and the occasional extra fuss — which is exactly what I do 🐾 I specialise in high energy dogs, with my puppy being young I know exactly how to tire her out, not even just walks! We do loads of fun activities to get the brain working! I’ve looked after many high energy dogs. I have also administered medication for dogs. I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love being around them, so your dog will always be in safe, relaxed hands with me. I’m fully DBS checked and have a certified qualification in pet sitting and dog walking, so you can feel confident they’re being properly cared for. I also have my own dog, Winnie 🐶, who’s friendly and used to being around other dogs, so your pup will have a built-in companion if they enjoy company. Whether it’s a walk to burn off energy, a chilled day for company, or an overnight stay, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and looked after like they’re my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how they’re getting on 📸 It’s a real home-from-home environment with lots of love, attention, and yes — probably a bit of spoiling too. Send me a message anytime — I’d love to meet you and your dog 🐶 Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine, shaping both my schedule and lifestyle. My days are structured around walks, feeding times, play, and providing a calm, safe environment for the pets in my care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I prioritise consistency, attention, and genuine companionship—making sure every pet feels comfortable, exercised, and well looked after throughout the day. I have a small fenced garden for your pets to roam freely. Lots of nice walks around my area both off lead and on lead whichever you prefer. We have different areas for the animals to be in at night if they prefer to be locked away.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Harrogate
Sophie was incredible to say the least. We have two elderly cats and one with a condition that requires us to feed him 4x a day (!!!). So we signed up for the 2x a day visits and worked out how to make sure the cats had a consistent wet food diet along with a bit of dry food and snacks. And then to learn how to manage our smart litter box was something she had to do along with a more "analog" box in another part of the house for the other cat. Sophie is detailed-oriented, professional and personable and the cats took to her almost immediately. Much thanks for the photos and videos. Will be booking again 110%
Very professional and friendly, she consistently sent updates and photos, as well as when food ran out and an issue occurred with delivery on my kibble subscription, she went and picked up extra food. Above and beyond care for my pet, I will definitely be hiring her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harrogate on Rover is £12.65 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 653 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Harrogate. About 94% of Harrogate 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.
