“Hollie provided an excellent service and clearly had a great time with Tommy. I was kept up to date with thier time together with frequent pictures and messages. Hollie left the home perfectly clean and tidy. I came home to a happy and well cared for Tommy. I will definately book Hollie again in the near future.”

“Courtney came to sit for us at short notice and she was amazing . Our poodle can be very shy however she liked Courtney straight away because of her calm confidence. Courtney took her for several walks throughout the day and sent us some photos to show Super having a relaxing day. I felt very comfortable leaving Super and would definitely contact Courtney again and throughly recommend her. Courtney was kind,,calm and knowledgeable of dogs, she was lovely with us on a busy morning getting ready for our son’s wedding ! Thank you Courtney - Super was very lucky to have you with her for the day .”

“This is the 4th time Sophie has looked after my 3 cats. They are always very relaxed and happy being looked after by her, and they are very picky with people! Sophie sends regular updates while we are away so we can relax happy in the knowledge that all the cats are happy and content. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sophie to anyone. ”

“This is the first time I have used Heather for dog sitting and I couldn’t be more impressed. She replies quickly to any messages and came out to meet Daisy before agreeing to the dog sitting. We remained in contact and whilst I was away I received updates on how Daisy settled. An all round excellent experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heather 🐾🐶❤️”


“Hannah was amazing, immediately very easy to get on with. She went above and beyond, made sure our old but gold Boxer was walked, fed and had company, and sent loads of pics. Jasper seemed to really gel with her very quickly, as did we, and will use her wherever possible going forward.”

About: I have experience with many different breeds of dog throughout my life and really enjoy spending quality time to get to know a pets needs. Not only does this involve walks but play time in the house I’m currently working from home full time and have great flexibility in my job to take time out to look after your pet and ensure they have a fun time I have a fenced garden where your pet can run free. I am an owner of a 4 year old Maltese cross who loves the company of other pets
“Really happy with the service provided by Ben. Great comms throughout, really nice and friendly, very confident with our two puppies and looked after them really well for us. It’s a shame we’re not local as we would definitely call on him more often.”


About: Hello! I’m Rob, and together with my daughter Sienna, we provide a loving, safe, and active home-from-home environment for dogs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve spent many years caring for one or more dogs at a time. Their happiness, wellbeing, and safety are always my top priorities. We are a very active family who love spending time outdoors, whether that’s enjoying walks around the local area, playing games, or simply giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. Sienna absolutely loves dogs and enjoys helping to make them feel welcome and comfortable. One of the biggest benefits of choosing us is that I work from home, meaning your dog will rarely be left alone. I can provide regular toilet breaks, daytime walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. This makes our home particularly suitable for dogs who enjoy company or may not be used to being left for long periods. Our home offers a safe, caring, and relaxed environment where your dog will be treated as part of the family. We understand that every dog is different and will always take the time to learn about their routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel happy, secure, and loved while they’re with us. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member and giving them a fun, comfortable, and caring stay. There’s always someone at home, day and night — Rob works remotely full-time, and Katie works from home two days a week. Your dog will never be short of company, cuddles, or attention! We take our Cockapoo, Roxy, out for walks every morning and afternoon, and we’re more than happy to add a third walk into the routine for any extra-energetic pups. We have a fenced garden so it’s fully safe and enclosed. Roxy has a tracker on and we have a spare we could always add to collars whilst they stay with us.
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was a child. Friends, neighbours and family have always relied on me to feed, walk and look after their pets when they’re away. I’m calm, patient and comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who prefer slower, relaxed walks and plenty of company. I’m also an avid hiker and love exploring the beautiful area I’m lucky enough to live in. I enjoy getting outside and giving dogs the chance to properly stretch their legs, whether that’s a gentle local walk or a longer adventure for more energetic dogs. I always tailor walks to the individual dog’s needs, age and energy level so they get the right balance of exercise and care. I currently only have to work a few hours in the evenings, which means I’m available during the day and most weekends. I’m reliable, flexible and happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I pick and choose my hours as my job is essentially just talking on the phone, so it’s pretty easy to manage care. Playing games, long walks, cuddles on the sofa ect. The area is great for long and short walks and I usually plan a few longer ones a week ahead of time. I'm open to suggestions for interesting places. Owners instructions above all else. I’m able to care for pets in my home as I don't have to leave the house for work. There are so many nice areas nearby for walks which is a part of my routine regardless. I have a decent sized fenced back garden and a lot of room for the animal I'm caring for to play in.
About: We’re a local couple offering reliable and loving pet sitting, built on a lifetime of being surrounded by animals. We both come from families where pets were always part of everyday life—dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, and even more unique companions like bearded dragons and snakes! Our own dog, Yuki, is 7 years old and very much part of the family, so we truly understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. Due to changes in our health, we’re now both at home more, which allows us to dedicate our time and attention to something we genuinely love—caring for animals. Pet sitting isn’t just a service for us, it brings purpose to our days. Rest assured, we have pet sitting insurance in place. We offer: • Home visits to feed, check in, and comfort your pet • Gentle companionship for animals who need a bit of extra love • Small dog walks We treat every pet like our own—with patience, kindness, and care—so you can have peace of mind while you’re away or busy As we’re both at home, pet care fits naturally into our day and allows us to be very flexible. We can plan visits around your pet’s usual routine, whether that’s mornings, evenings, or specific times they’re used to. Before any booking, we’ll have a chat with you to understand your pet’s needs, habits, and personality. This helps us keep everything consistent and stress-free while you’re away. Because we’re not rushing between commitments, we can give each visit the time, attention, and care your pet deserves. We believe pets feel happiest and safest in their own environment, so we aim to keep everything as familiar and calm as possible while you’re away. During our visits, we follow your routine closely and care for your pet just as you would. This includes: • Feeding and refreshing water • Cleaning litter trays or pet areas • Spending quality time with your pet—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet company • Keeping your home tidy and secure during each visit
“I was happy to leave my dogs with Volodymir. He asked a lot of questions before the stay to ensure he knows my dogs well and what they may need. House was well taken care of at the end of the stay and the dogs were happy. Any serious issues were communicated and discussed.”

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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a passion for animals. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own, I have developed a strong understanding of their needs, routines, and behaviours. I am home full-time and available seven days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have my own Lhasa Apso called Romeo, who I walk twice a day, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, shorter strolls, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to tailor my care to their individual needs.
“Saff did a great job at looking after Dackerz! We booked very last minute and we didn’t do a meet and greet but she clearly followed the care instructions and send lots of pictures and updates to us.”


About: Me and my partner regularly care for dogs for friends, family and family friends. Experienced with different breeds, routines, feeding, walks and giving them a safe, loving home. 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. We have a secure, fenced, good-sized garden for safe outdoor time and play. Your dog will be supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of our family.

“We couldn't be happier. Otis can be a shy dog with new people but he seemed to take to Vee in practically no time. We received loads of updates and pictures and Otis had all the love and care we could've asked for! We absolutely will be booking in again, couldn't be anymore pleased!”

“Jamie was was spot on. Took the extra time to meet us and our dog before the sitting was required. Kept us up to date with messages and photos during the sitting and we can home to calm happy Pup.”
“Very happy and very impressed wit Leah. The girls adored her. They are high maintenance border collies and we felt very content leaving them with Leah. She kept us up to date and sent photos of the girls enjoying themselves. We are so happy that we have found someone we can trust to look after our dogs and to spend time with them. The house was immaculate on return too. Highly recommend.”

About: Dogs, cats and many other animals have been in my life since birth. I love them around me. I am an active Guide Dog foster carer, experienced puppy trainer and a member of the Association of Dog Boarders. I am retired so am flexible and can devote time as needed by your pet and can fall into most routines that might be required by them. We have a secure, fenced garden that your pet can explore and which opens onto a large recreation field that is well used by dog walkers. Sociable dogs with good recall can have good fun there. We also have close access to countryside walks.

Hollie was fantastic. It was very hot when she was looking after Charlie, but she got up early to walk him and kept him cool. Kept us regularly updated with photos and messages. Left our house really tidy. Lovely to deal with. Charlie was very happy. Would definitely use her again.

This is the first time I have used Heather for dog sitting and I couldn’t be more impressed. She replies quickly to any messages and came out to meet Daisy before agreeing to the dog sitting. We remained in contact and whilst I was away I received updates on how Daisy settled. An all round excellent experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heather 🐾🐶❤️

Eleanor was a life saver! She stepped in at very late notice. Her communication was prompt, and she was punctual. Most importantly she listened and acted on our instructions for Chip & Gigi, and we came back to two very happy and relaxed dogs who had clearly loved her company. I'd have no hesitation in recommending her or asking her to look after our 2 again. Thank you Eleanor 🙏

I cannot recommend Chloe highly enough - from the first interaction I had with her she has been brilliant. She was great with our dog (and tortoise), took everything in her stride and gave total peace of mind while we were away. Stanley is a shy dog and she spent time getting to know him, and followed all our many instructions on how to have an easy week with him to the letter! Would not hesitate to book Chloe again and recommend her to others.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Harrogate walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Harrogate 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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
