“Hollie was professional and friendly, obviously very experienced with dogs, and trustworthy. Took the booking at short notice, and she sent lots of updates and followed the care instructions, felt very happy and relaxed knowing she was dropping in through out the day...highly recommend.”


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: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I have trained for years doing what I love, caring for animals. I have experience pet sitting for work colleagues, friends and neighbours, attending to a variety of needs and requirements. This includes strict medication schedules, different daily walking requirements, and much more. I have experience caring for animals great and small, so no matter your pet, I can assure you they will be in great hands with me. I am looking forward to getting to know and caring for you fur babies! As a full time worker, I am available Monday evenings (after 7pm) Tuesdays all day, Thursday evenings (after 6pm) and Weekends. I will occasionally be required to work a Saturday shift which I will put up on my availability calendar. My work schedule can sometimes change so I will keep my availability calendar up to date. If unsure just message and I will happily do what I can to accommodate you! I am happy to travel to your home within 40 mins drive for house sitting, and 30 mins for a drop in/walk. but do not take pets into my own home due to having my own pets that like their own space.
“Fantastic, absolute lifesaver helped me out at very short notice. Hounds loved her and I ever got a cute video which was massively reassuring having never left them with anyone but granddad before”
“Steve and Sandra were really great and our 6 year old springer Jimmy took an instant shine to them. It was great that he could also socialise with another dog, Tommy, on the walk. This service was invaluable as I needed to go to London with work at short notice and it was great peace of mind to know that Jimmy was well looked after.”
“Matthew was great and took amazing care of my new puppy when I had to work. Gave great updates and playtime to the little man. Will definitely use him again and highly recommend his services!”

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.
“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.”

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: Pets have been in my family my whole life. This included Cats and Dogs, and my first pocket money was made walking my neighbours dogs as well as my own. I look after my family’s cat regularly as well as my partners cockapoo who loves performing tricks for treats! I welcome animals of all shapes and sizes. My partner and I work full-time but have the opportunity to look after animals due to our hybrid work set up. Meaning we are at home for 2 days during the week as well as weekends. We will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention it deserves. We are in a pet friendly apartment complex with secure balconies and a communal garden. There are countless parks, nature reserves and the natural beauty of the Surrey hills nearby. We also both drive and are well equipped with dog harnesses for safety.
About: I’ve accompanied a big dog walking group multiple times and I have house/cat sat a couple times previously for 2-3 days at a time. I have grown up around dogs and currently have 2 family dogs I love to pieces and I am often trusted with their care. Despite having less experience with cats, I adore them and I’m familiar with their needs to provide good quality care :) I’m currently a student so I have some free time on my hands outside of classes. This means I’ll be available to keep your pets company on weekends, Wednesdays and Friday evenings. I ensure any opening is closed/ locked up before letting my dogs roam or leaving the house. My mum is big on keeping things clean so I also make sure dirty paws stay away from carpets if possible. Along with that comes lots of snuggles and play time!
About: My 5 year old daughter and I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats! We'd love to have a pet of our own one day, but because we travel regularly to visit family abroad, we feel it's only fair to wait until we can offer a permanent pet the stability it deserves. In the meantime, pet sitting is the perfect solution for us. I work part-time and partly from home, which means I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime and care throughout the day. We both genuinely enjoy having furry friends around the house, and your pet will be treated as part of the family while they're with us. We have experience caring for dogs and have previously had our own dog, so we understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and plenty of affection. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime and making sure pets feel settled and secure in a new environment. Whether it's cuddles on the sofa, walks, games in the garden or simply keeping your pet company, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. 🐾❤️ We know how important pets are to their families, and we'll care for yours as if they were our own. Because I work part-time and mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I build regular walks, playtime, and feeding into our daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day breaks, or evening cuddle time, caring for pets fits naturally into our rhythm. In our home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll get plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. We keep their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to — including walk times, feeding, and any special needs or preferences. We do our best to make them feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy from the moment they arrive.
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.

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Harrogate pet parents with similar pet households.
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.
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.
