“Jade popped in to see Rue most days over the last two weeks and we can’t be more grateful. Rue was very happy when we got home everyday so we knew that Jade had done a good job of entertaining her. She gave us plenty of updates and built trust immediately :) would definitely recommend and would like you to come again in future!”
About: Our lives truly revolve around dogs, and we wouldn't have it any other way! I am the proud parent of two incredible girls who bring absolute joy to our home: Penny, who I’ve raised and loved since she was a tiny puppy (she’s now nearly 6!), and Pearl, a beautiful soul we rescued in August 2025. Caring for them has given me deep, hands-on experience with different stages of a dog's life, from navigating the energetic puppy years with Penny to providing the patient, nurturing, and gentle care needed to help a rescue like Pearl blossom. Both of our girls are incredibly playful, and our household is entirely set up for fun, safety, and endless affection. When your pup stays with us, they won't just be 'looked after', they will be welcomed as part of the family, showered with attention, and given the exact same high standard of love and care that we give our own girls every single day. Because I work full-time from home and my partner is a firefighter working shift patterns, our house is rarely empty and we are fully available for boarding and sitting all week long! Dog care isn't something we squeeze into our day, it is the foundation of our daily routine. Your dog will seamlessly step into the structured, loving schedule we maintain for our two girls. A typical day here includes: Exercise: At least two dedicated walks a day to keep everyone happy and active. We live in a rural area surrounded by fields and long walks. Routine: Set breakfast and tea times, along with constant access to fresh water. Regular Breaks: Toilet breaks are given at least every 2 hours throughout the day. Since I am home all day, your pup will have constant companionship, regular stretches, and plenty of attention right alongside Penny and Pearl. Safety, comfort, and peace of mind are our top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced, and secure garden where dogs can play safely. Our kitchen and dining area features large bi-fold doors that look out onto the garden; when the weather permits, we love to leave these wide open to give the dogs complete freedom to roam between the house and the fresh air. We understand that every dog has different needs when it comes to feeling secure. Our home is spacious enough to accommodate your dog's specific habits, and I am more than happy to crate your dog whenever necessary for their comfort, meal times, or bedtime routine. With two friendly resident dogs and a highly secure, supervised environment, your fur baby will be safe, happy, and entirely at ease.
“I was really worried to leave my cat Iris alone for the first time, however the update messages and pictures I recieved upon every visit really gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. Alison is lovely and I really feel like she looked after Iris and showed her care and love as if she was her own cat. Its great that I know I have someone I can trust to check in on her every time I go away. Thank you Alison! :)”
“Helena has dropped in for Rue, our 14 week puppy, several times and every time Rue has been very happy and satisfied. Helena has sent us plenty of updates whilst being with Rue and made sure to follow any requests we may have given. We would happily recommend Helena to anyone wanting their dog to be looked after well and well loved. Thank you Helena :)”

“Hannah was wonderful she looked after my old dog Troy like he was her own gave him lots of cuddles which he loved the photos she sent showed how happy he was to see her and I knew he was in good hands not many people want to look after an old dog but Hannah was brilliant put my mind at ease whilst we were away with daily contact”

About: I’m experienced in caring for dogs and other small animals, and I hold a Diploma in Animal Care and Land‑Based Studies. I genuinely enjoy looking after both dogs and cats, and I have my own animals at home, so I understand how important it is to give pets the same level of care, patience and attention they’re used to. I’m reliable, calm and confident with different breeds and personalities, and I take pride in creating a safe, happy environment for every animal I look after. I fit pet care naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already care for my own animals every day, so feeding, walking, playtime and general supervision are part of my normal schedule. I enjoy planning my week around giving pets consistent attention, keeping them happy, comfortable and well‑looked‑after. I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home where pets are cared for with patience, routine, and genuine affection. I make sure their environment is clean, comfortable, and hazard‑free, and I always prioritise their wellbeing. Pets in my home are treated with kindness, consistency, and respect, so they feel secure, relaxed, and truly looked after.

About: I've had cats since the age of 3, and never stopped having them. Alongside many other pets of all shapes and sizes. I started helping out a friend with her dog sitting jobs and it's continued from there. I've dog sat and walked , cat sat and checked up on friends and clients pets. One off walks and regular walks. From small senior Jack Russell to two bounding golden retrievers. I've had a good few years of experience now to offer more services . I'm currently working part time so I have the time to schedule in walks, house sitting/pet sitting and call ins. I have one ongoing walk with a Jack Russell and would like to take on more pet care work. Depending on what the owner wants , whether it's a routine walk, a pop in or a stay over. I'm happy to do it all. Happy to follow instructions to make sure your babies are happy and calm. My cat is an outdoor cat but understand some prefer theirs to stay in. With dogs I can make sure they are well seen to and will make sure I know how long they don't mind being left alone. Can pop in to fill up water and food bowls or to let any out to use to toilet.

Couldn't have asked for a better service from Alison! Excellent care and communication, and was super accommodating when I asked for a (very last minute) additional day of pet sitting. I loved the report and photos I recieved, and my mind was completely at ease while we were away - would easily trust her to take care of Crumble again!
Highly recommend!!! I would give more stars if I could. She has honestly been brilliant. Letitia does a brief visit to get to know you and your cat. She goes over the plan to make sure she understands everything. My kitten adores her from the videos I have seen. I revieved a number of pictures and videos as my kitten is so playful. I am honestly so grateful for finding Letitia. I will be using her again in the future ❤️ she did three visits a day and I had someone else do the fourth visit who I would 100% not recommend. Having two different sitters has helped me understand the service and what is provided. I got very little back in terms of updates and even forgotten to say she had been today. I got one line messages where as Letitia shared changing of litter, food and play/energy levels. Thank you so so much!!! I hope this review reassures you that your cat will be okay❤️
Received daily updates and photos which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She clearly bonded so well with my cat, and it was obvious Lasy was happy, comfortable and well cared for throughout. I’ve used her before and have always had a great experience, and I’d happily use her again in the future. Highly recommend.
This is the first time I left my cats with anyone other than family. I didn’t need to worry. Brontë sent me photos and updated me after each visit. The cats obviously loved her as they came out from under the bed for cuddles. Could not recommend Brontë more and will definitely be using her again in the future.
100% happy with the service received. Antonia visited my cat twice a day as promised. She sent photos everyday and I could see that my cat was happy and relaxed in his usual sleeping spots. Antonia also took care of opening and closing my curtains and making sure my house was secure. Highly recommend Antonia and would be happy to use her again.

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.

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 Kirklees 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.

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.
