“Hollie looked after our cockapo Buddy and it was the first time we had left him overnight so we were a bit worried but Hollie was calm and reassuring. Hollie arrived bang on time and took Buddy out immediately for a walk while we left the house and he went off quite happily with her. Hollie sent us regular photos and updates and Buddy was happy and his usual mischievous self when we got home. Buddy is not the easiest of dogs but Hollie handled him perfectly. We highly recommend Hollie.”
“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.”
“Elenor was so lovely. She took the time to get to know Koda, and became his best pal very quickly. She checked if she wasn’t sure on something and kept us up to date with how he was doing and the adventures they were having. He was a happy and tired pup when we returned home and the house was tidy. Would love for Elenor to look after Koda again and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Steve and Sandra took the time to visit us and meet our dogs a few times before our holiday. This was very reassuring as it is the first time our dogs have been left with a sitter. Steve and Sandra were keen to follow our usual routine and Martha + Lottie have been very well looked after. They sent updates while we were away, so that we knew everything was going well. While we were away there were strong winds, Steve and Sandra did a great job of clearing debris from our lawn. The house was also left spotlessly clean and tidy.”
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
“Sophie is such a great find! She kindly popped in to meet Emily (our 14 year old Shih Tzu!) a few days before her first doggy sitting day. Emily totally took to her and they had a lovely time hanging out. Would highly recommend any day!!”
“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: 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.
About: I have always adored being around and looking after dogs. I had a shih tzu called Zizel for 5 years but unfortunately my ex partner kept her after we separated. Taking her for walks and just having her around brought so much joy to my life. I am trained as a nurse so I am a naturally caring and nurturing person and I would the opportunity to look after some doggies! I have plenty of time to go for walks every morning as I am currently on my maternity leave. I live with my boyfriend so there’s always someone at home. I live with my boyfriend who also loves dogs (no flatmates) so it’s a very trustworthy environment. I have had my own dog in the past so I have experience caring for them and keeping them safe.
“Courtney was wonderful! Id highly recommend her if you need someone who clearly cares for animals and loves spending time with them. She looked after our golden retriever overnight and he was calm and content when we returned. She sent us photos and updates throughout the visit too. Will definitely use her again! Thank you!”

“Great to meet Hannah for the first time. We messed her around with first giving the wrong date… and then giving her the wrong address! Despite this, Hannah was kind and forgiving. Mac (cocker spaniel) was more than happy too. Highly recommended. 😎”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, from family pets growing up to my own dogs as an adult, I have looked after many friends and family members dogs and they have relied on me to walk, feed and love them like my own. I work part time 3 days a week but any dogs I have are never left alone. Unless it’s pre arranged at time of booking and they are ok to be left. Any days out I plan are always dog friendly so they can come with us. I have a fenced back garden and space for them to play outside, I have a gated kitchen which can be secured for the night, I have space for a crate if needed. I currently have no dogs of my own as I had to have my 16 year old staffy put to sleep 2 days before Christmas as she had developed heart failure, but i do have a 6 year old cat who’s only home overnight, he stays out all day. I have ring doorbells to the front and back of my house for security.
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.
“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.”

Wonderful sitter who cared for ozzy so well. Sent plenty of pictures throughout the evening which made us so much more relaxed as it was our first time leaving him with someone we don't know. Eleanor put our mind at ease straight away and I would fully recommend her to anyone. Thank you!
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 🐾🐶❤️

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.
