About: I’ve grown up with dogs being a huge part of my life and have always loved looking after them. I’ve regularly cared for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and their personality. I’m currently home from university, so I have lots of free time and a really flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and at weekends, and I’m more than happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I can give them plenty of attention, walks and company throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including walks, feeding and medication, while providing a calm, caring environment and always prioritising their comfort, wellbeing and safety.
“Hollie regularly looks after our fizzy Vizsla. Inka is always super happy to see her, because she get lots of love and cuddles, and walks. Inka is always content and sleepy when we get home, our two cats also love it when Hollie comes to stay!”
About: Extensive experience, kind and patient, flexible and friendly. You can rely on me to do as you have asked and keep your pets safe and content. I work flexibly most days and can adapt to meet multiple needs. You just need to let me know your needs and I'll let you know if I can meet them. Fully fenced garden in quiet area. I am trustworthy and reliable. Kind, compassionate and skilled in supporting dogs with anxiety, special needs or old age.
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.

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.

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: I have grown up around dogs since the age of 10. With 2 family cocker spaniels I am used to the craziness that having a dog brings to a household. I no longer live with my family dogs and miss being around them. I have experience with elderly dogs, one of my family dogs died this year at the age of 14 and she needed full time cars for months. We had a litter of puppies when I was younger, so I am experienced with younger dogs as well. I graduated from university 2 years ago and now work from home almost full time (I tend to go into the office once a week, but this is flexible). I would care for your dogs in the same manner you would. Whatever they need I am able to provide. I understand all dogs are different. I love long walks and they can accompany me daily.
About: Having had 2 dogs of my own and looking after friends and families dogs for a few years - your fur babies will be given the upmost attention and love by me. I am a very active person who loves to walk and run but I am also incredibly patient and can go at whatever pace is needed. Being a self employed Pilates instructor and dancer - I have a lot of availability to walk in ‘normal’ 9-5 work hours and can work around you ! This also means I am incredibly active and can take your dogs on short or long and active walks. When pet sitting in your home - I will make sure to give your dog/dogs all of my attention and leave your home looking the same as how I found it!

About: I absolutely love animals and have grown up around them - having a cat, a horse, and now two dogs (a Fox Terrier and a Jack Russell x Pug). I’m a friendly, bubbly person who is responsible and reliable, with regular experience dog sitting and walking both young and older dogs. This has helped me build confidence in handling different temperaments, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I enjoy playing with them, going on walks, and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m also lucky to have a park right outside my house, so your pets would get lots of fresh air and exercise. As a university student, I have a flexible routine that fits really well around pet care. I’m used to planning my schedule, so I can prioritise walks, feeding times, and giving pets plenty of attention throughout the day and nights. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great balance alongside my studies, so I’m always happy to build my routine around their needs. In my home: I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, always keep the owners updated, while also monitoring their pet’s behaviour to ensure they’re happy and healthy. In an owner’s home: I respect the owner’s space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding, walks, and any medication are given on time, keep the home tidy, and I always give regular updates for peace of mind. I focus on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment, giving them lots of care, attention, and consistency.

Pet 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%
We found Kate to be a wonderful sitter and were lucky to find her for our visit to Harrogate. Kate always responded quickly, was adaptable to our needs when our timings changed, nothing was too much trouble. A very kind and caring young lady who we will be happy to book again, and would have no hesitation in recommending her for sitting your pet(s). Thank you Kate.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
