“I felt totally confident leaving my puppy with Hollie she was welcoming and caring. On picking up my puppy it was clear she had an great day playing with Hollie’s dog and she was settled and bright when I got her home. She was never upset being dropped off and seemed very happy to be with Hollie. I would totally recommend her and would take either of my dogs back if needed. Thank you Hollie and Oscar.”
“Eleanor and Edward are the best possible people to care for your dog. Stanley 100% loves them and dotty more than us now, and always comes back to happy and tired. I couldn’t recommend anyone more.”
“Our 3.5 month pup had a lovely day with Jessica and her husband. We plan for him to stay while we go on holiday and wanted to give him chance to get to know them first. We were anxious as we had not left him with anyone else, but we didn’t need to worry as he settled straight away- and had lots of fun. Jessica is quick to respond to messages and sent photos of his day. Thank you”
“We cannot recommend Vivianne highly enough. We dropped off Granville our border terrier for the day for the first time and we were a bit worried - how would he settle, would he be OK with a new person in new surroundings?. We shouldn't have worried. Vivianne kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day. When we collected him, we had comprehensive feedback and Granville was happy and settled and seemed to have had a great day, meeting a new friends and getting lots of attention. We were delighted with his excellent care and will be back!! Its great that we can be confident that he is looked after so well.”
About: I’ve honestly had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for everything from tiny pups to large mixed breeds, so I’m completely used to all kinds of dog personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Right now, I have my own 9 year old dog, Simba, so I really understand the day-to-day of caring for a pet, from keeping up with their favorite walk routines to just knowing when they need some quiet downtime. I know how important it is to feel like your dog is safe and happy when you're away, and I promise your pup will be treated like absolute family here! I am at home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone and will receive constant care and attention throughout the day. My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pup's exact feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and specific walk routines. Whether they need active daytime companionship or just a quiet presence to keep them company while they snooze, I am here all day to make sure they feel completely secure and looked after. We have a really warm, dog-loving home where your dog will be treated like one of our own. Our house is a lively, happy family space with myself, my husband (working full-time), and our two university aged kids who are currently back home and absolutely adore dogs. We also have a 4-year-old daughter who is wonderful and very gentle around pets (though she'll be at school for most of the summer). Outside, we have a fully fenced garden with a great grass section, so there's plenty of space for safe sniffing and stretching. Between all of us and our friendly dog Simba, your pup will get non-stop affection, company, and a safe family environment to settle right into!
“Our Apollo has a great time with Constancia and her family. When dropping him off, he jumps out of the car straight to the door and once it’s opened, he’s off which is very reassuring.”
“My little dog Mila absolutely loved Laura. In fact every time we walk past the end of her street now my dog pulls me to go & see her. Laura has a warm & kind soul which is perfect for pet sitting our beloved animals. I will definitely be using her services again!!”
“Thank you Steve . You are amazing . Steve and Sandra took care of our high energy puppy for dog day care. Steve’s outlook is super positive, especially when our pup chose to discover anything and everything in his house . His communications and updates were excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend.”
“We were so impressed with the care and love Emily gave to our Lhasa Apso Bobby ( Bob the Dog). It is the first time we have left him outside family and we were nwrvous. But Emily clearly had the knack of making him completely at home and Bob made friends with her dog Lando. She texted us after an hour to reassure us all was good and the photos were lovely of his stay. We would absolutely recommend Emily to other owners.”
“After having an awful experience with Trusted Housesitters, I was anxious about leaving my dog with anyone else, even for a day. Meeting with Ilona in advance of the daysit helped me to feel more comfortable and the day itself went really well. She sent loads of pictures and took him on some great walks, and he was knackered at the end of the day. We hope to have Ilona watch Bryn in the future :)”
“Highly recommend. 5 stars ***** Joanne is a lovely, kind and caring person. Our dog Bella can be nervous around new people and Joanne manage get Bella settled and playing ball within 5 minutes of our arrival. Joanne is a natural with dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving Bella in her care. Joanne gave us peace of mind by adapting to Bella’s needs and we felt reassured to leave Bella in such capable and caring hands. We would definitely use Joanne again and we highly recommend.”
“Absolutely incredible experience. Hannah took great care of Ewok, and kept us in the loop throughout the day while she got much-needed socialization time with the other dogs. Could not have asked for a better sitter - highly recommended.”

I work Monday to Friday, 7:30am–4:30pm, so I only accept bookings that suit my availability. This allows me to give every dog the time, care, and attention they deserve.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for pets is something I truly love. For the past 3 years, I’ve helped families by caring for their dogs and cats with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, gentle, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and giving regular updates with photos and messages. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will treat them like family and make sure they receive the care, love, and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible, attentive, and make sure every pet gets love, playtime, walks, and personalized care every day. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family at all times.
About: I grew up with dogs and absolutely love having them around. I work from home, so I have plenty of time for lunchtime walks, playtime, and giving your dog lots of attention. I’m also very happy to have a snuggle on the sofa in the evenings. I work from home three days a week, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs real attention throughout the day. I also have the option to bring a dog into the office, so they’re never left alone for long periods. I love being active and would always make sure they get a morning and lunchtime walk so lots of company. I have a fenced garden in a three bed new build property and I live close to fields and nice walks, which I love to go on.

I highly recommend Amanda! Milo stayed with her for a full day, and she was absolutely wonderful. I really appreciated all the photo and video updates she sent; it was obvious that Milo was super happy and well taken care of. Her communication was flawless. I will definitely trust her with Milo again!

Lisa is brilliant! My Cavalier King Charles ‘Rupert’ has now been twice for daycare and he was very excited to see Lisa on the second visit! She walks him and plays with him outside in a secure area and so I can relax when he’s there knowing he is safe and well cared for. Her house is lovely, clean and welcoming, Rupert loves going for the day and will no doubt go for many more! Thanks Lisa 😊
Hannah looks after Alfie one day a week and I couldn't be happier with the service she provides. Her training and experience gives me piece of mind that she cope with his allergies and understand his separation anxiety. The photos she shares proves to me he his having the best time ever running around with new friends but is also comfortable enough to curl up on the sofa for a nap.
Our first time ever leaving Star with someone and we were quite nervous about doing it. We were attending an event in the area and had travelled down from Scotland, we met with Helen the night before for a meet & greet with Star and we were put at ease straight away !! We dropped Star off the next morning , Helen looked after her for approx 7hrs managed to send some pictures when out on walks and kept us updated throughout which kept us at ease. We would highly recommended Helen she was fantastic with star and very welcoming

There are 969 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Harrogate. About 85% 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Harrogate commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Yorkshire and the Humber may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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 .
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.
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 dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee.
