“Hollie was fantastic with our dog Ted. She asked lots of questions about Ted beforehand and was great at keeping us updated whilst we were away. Ted took to her instantly and was very content in her company- he also loved meeting her dog Oscar. I’d highly recommend Hollie!”


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.
“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. ”

“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: 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.
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
About: I adore dogs! I have helped run a dog kennels for over 3 years before I went travelling. I have also worked at a dog and cat animal charity for 1.5 years in Edinburgh, where I'm from. When I was travelling in Australia I also done dog walking as I needed my doggy fix down under as well. I had a family dog who was my absolute soul dog and best friend. I would care for your dog like it was my own furry pal. I currently work in the nhs supporting children with mental health issues. This is a challenging but very rewarding career. I do miss having furry, four legged friends in my life though. My schedule changes each week and I can be working different days each week but my work can be flexible if I'm given enough notice as to what days you need pet cover. We have a fenced garden at the back of the property. We are hoping to get a dog this year which would offer company to your dog, if that's what they like. We will be patient with your dog and keep it's routine as close to being at home as we can.
“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.”

“Jordan was wonderful with Satan and took great care of both her and my home. Communication was easy, I received regular updates and photos, and I came home to a happy cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Jordan stay again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”


“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.”

“Saffron was amazing. Our cats are usually very timid and take a long time to warm-up to new people but with 2 days, Saffron was recieving fusses and cuddles from them! Our pets and home were well looked after and we received daily updates from Saffron, which was lovely. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future.”


About: I’m a retired professional with plenty of time, patience, and energy to give your pup the care and attention they deserve. As someone who enjoys keeping active, I love getting outdoors for walks and exploring local parks and countryside trails. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply some company and reassurance, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m reliable, flexible, and will treat your dog as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I’m retired, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets without having to fit them around a busy work schedule. I enjoy being active and getting outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m also happy to provide company, feeding, playtime, and check-ins for cats and other pets. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can be reliable and consistent, helping pets maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I’ll ensure they have fresh water, meals at the correct times, plenty of attention, exercise, and any playtime or quiet time they enjoy. I’ll also keep their living areas clean and tidy and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, where they can relax and feel at home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while respecting any specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, or behaviour. Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their individual personality, needs, and preferences to ensure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for.

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.

“Amazing service, went above and beyond to make sure our cats were looked after well. Really glad we’ve found such a fab cat sitter and can now look forward to holidays knowing they’re happy at home ♥️”

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.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Harrogate
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 🙏

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.
