About: Hi, we’re a dog loving couple with a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I grew up with dogs, and my fiancé Bobby grew up on a farm surrounded by horses, cats, and dogs, so we’re very comfortable with pets of all kinds. We regularly look after my family dog Max, an energetic Staffy, as well as my brother’s fluffy Pomeranian, Chappy. This has given us hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. We provide a safe, loving home where your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. We look forward to welcoming your pet into our home and treating them like part of the family.” We both work full-time during the week, so we mainly offer weekend availability. As I’m a teacher, I also have school holidays and half terms off, meaning I’m available for longer stays and full weeks throughout the year. We’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. They’ll never be left alone during their stay, and we only take one booking at a time unless otherwise agreed with owners. As we’re very active, plenty of walks, playtime, and exercise will never be a problem.

About: Being a future nurse I’m reliable, calm and attentive, with great patience and attention to detail. I have grown up caring for all different types of animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and reptiles! I would do nothing else but treat your pet as if they were my own. I’ve gained lots of experience with dogs on borrow my doggy where I’ve handled everything from energetic puppies to older pets that need a gentler approach. I always make sure pets are fed, walked, played with and given lots of love. I live close to parks and the city centre so I can adapt to whatever routine your pet is used to. Caring for fur babies is truly the best thing in the world! From June 2026 I will be available for the whole summer with lots of flexibility to suit your needs. Check my calendar for current availability!:) I live in an apartment with no garden, so for boarding or day care I always make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time with regular walks and enrichment. I’m happy to stick to whatever routine works best for your pet, including times and preferred walking routes. I’m walking distance from sefton park/ princes park, cathedral gardens, waterfront docks and can drive to the beach on a sunny day! I will always provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured. I create a cosy, safe space for your fur babies and will always give them my full love and attention!

About: My service set that I provide is dog walking, exercise, house sitting, and a daily emotional support and while their family is away. I've been looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I'd take care of my friends' and family's dogs whenever they went on vacation and needed someone to step in. I’d walk them, feed them, play with them, take them for runs, and even wash them—treating each one like they were my own. Making sure they felt safe and comfortable was always my priority. I also have some house-sitting experience along the way. All the dogs I've had were either adopted or found. I've rescued several dogs from the streets, including the one that became our family dog. Anytime I found an animal, I'd always take them to the vet for a check-up to make sure they were okay. Im currently working part time, which would give me plenty of time to look after your pets. If dogs love running I would have them join me on my little adventures around Chester. I am an active person who enjoys going around parks and finding new places to walk. If I was to take care of pets in the owners home I would try and keep their routine as if the owner was there. Care for them as my own and love them. Lots of cuddles and pets so they don’t feel lonely and will be excited to see there owner back home.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since I was 13 years old. Unfortunately, I moved away and don’t have him with me anymore. This is why I am looking forward to be able to look after your babies without the full commitment of having one of my own I mainly work from home and love being active so it is quite easy for me to look after your dog and taking it with me for a walk or run I love playing with dogs and cats but can give space if needed to. I volunteered at Blue Cross for half year when I was 16 years old. Here I learned quite a lot about the needs of animals in shelter and how to effectively look after them. Can travel to you too if needed and guard for your house and fur baby.

About: I have a deep love for animals and have been caring for my own pets for many years. I currently live with my cat Legoshi, who has been part of my family since my partner and I got together—he’s smart, curious, and a little mischievous! Taking care of him has given me hands-on experience with feeding, cleaning, grooming, and understanding animal behavior. I’m patient, attentive, and always treat pets like family. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m confident handling pets of different sizes and temperaments. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m available every day of the week, from 6 AM to 7 PM. I’m happy to provide dog walking or drop-in visits during these hours. To make sure I can give your pet the best care and attention, I kindly ask that bookings be confirmed at least 2 days in advance. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! When visiting a pet in their own home, I always make sure the environment is safe, clean, and stress-free. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully when it comes to feeding, walking, or any special needs. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes to make sure your pet is secure at all times. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect—just like family. I believe trust is built through consistency, clear communication, and gentle care. You can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for.

Esther was an absolute gem taking care of my cat. She stepped in to help at a time where I had to be away with for family matters and she gave me absolute peace with her updates about my cat, flexibility and care. When I came back I found my cat was as happy as ever, reflecting he'd been treated as well as the updates with the pictures showed. A million thanks, Esther! Would recommend her 1000 times over :)

About: I have accompanied some relatives pets including cats and dogs in the past. Even some of my own in my school days, I made sure to fill up their food a water bowls, took them out for short walks and played with them every night after school. I enjoy being around any type of pets, my full attention goes directly to them on any circumstances. I am currently working a part-time job as a morning cleaner in Liverpool City Centre. I work on weekends from 6am-10am, Mondays & Wednesdays from 9am-12pm. I will be available for bookings on these days and times after my shifts. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays I am fully flexible for bookings all day! I will ensure your pet(s) avoid risky foods/items when on walks and during housesitting to avoid any harsh injuries/medical issues.

About: My 10 year old rescue dog Millie has been the biggest ray of sunshine in my life since I got her as a puppy. When I recently moved to Liverpool, she stayed at my family home in Ireland and I miss having that daily connection with animals a lot. I also had a beautiful sweet Labrador who sadly passed away last year and I miss him dearly. I grew up with lots of other animals including cats, turtles, budgies and chickens and my family currently has axolotyls. I have always had a deep love for animals and have looked after and walked many of my friends, family and neighbours dogs. I have trained 2 dogs since they were puppies, one being a scared rescue, and my dog Millie is now a senior and has arthritis so I am comfortable with a wide range of breeds, ages, and behaviours. Im currently working on a flexitime basis and work from home often so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and they will have no shortage of attention, love, and exercise. My weekday availability will be slightly variable but I will be available weekends (including Fridays) all day and most weekdays. If I am working on site, I will be available from 3pm. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and trust. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands and will be happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I live in a cosy one-bedroom apartment in the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool with my long-term boyfriend, who helps me care for the pets we look after. Our home is clean, calm, smoke-free and pet-friendly, with a small balcony for some fresh air and outdoor time. I only take one dog at a time, unless they’re from the same family, to make sure each pet has enough space, feels relaxed and receives plenty of personal attention. Before any booking, I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet to make sure everyone feels comfortable. During home visits or walks, I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep dogs on a lead unless agreed otherwise, and provide regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing. My flexible schedule means I can spend lots of quality time with the animals I care for, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved ❤️🥰

About: I’ve cared for and lived with dogs since 2006. My experience ranges from 4 family spaniels, to shetland sheepdog puppies, to boxers and rottweilers. I’m a patient carer who has experience with both nervous, reactive dogs and high energy furry friends. Here’s a wee promo for new users :) : https://www.rover.com/sit/misham86347 I’m a freelancer, so have plenty of time to care for your little (or big) ones! I’m free most weekends and weekdays, especially if you’re after unsociable hours, and am very flexible with times and locations. I used to be a nanny, so am very used to short notice changes if you require assistance. I consult you on how your beloveds like to be nurtured, and offer a tailored service on how much exercise or activities you would like for them while you’re away. As a walker, I can provide routes beforehand. As a sitter, I can provide toys and music to create a peaceful atmosphere in your absence.

About: I have my own dog Nala who is my best friend. When she first came to us I attended puppy classes with her so I knew everything I’d need to, to make sure she (and your dog now) could be best looked after by me. I’ve grew up around dogs my whole life, especially since we used to Petsit occasionally, until circumstances changed and we were able to get a pet of our own, so I’ve seen it all! We would take them for walks and go to dog parks and make sure they ate right and got plenty of play time and attention, so my experience of this is very high! I am currently a uni student who is in uni 2x a week! I’m away from home and really miss my Nala, so this works amazing for me. I have a lot of availability and free time to make sure ur furry friend (and me😂) have a great time together! I unfortunately can not care for pets in my own home as I am living in student accommodation! So this is a not a service I would want to provide as it would not be fair for ur pet

About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience that started in junior high school when I began pet sitting for my neighbors. I’ve always loved animals—so much so that I couldn’t walk past a happy puppy without stopping to pet it! Unfortunately, my father had an allergy to animal fur, so we couldn’t have pets at home. That’s when I started pet sitting, beginning with a lovely puppy named Nvnv, which means “cute little baby” in Chinese. From middle school to university, I took care of many pets in my neighborhood. In university, I finally adopted my first cat, Maoge (meaning "cat bro" in Chinese), a stray kitten found near a noodle shop. The moment I saw him, I knew he was meant to be with me. My love for animals doesn’t stop at just cats and dogs; I’ve also been involved in a stray animal rescue platform called "Zhangmengxing," which means "Claw Alignment Planet" in Chinese. This platform connects stray animal rescuers, non-profits, hospitals, and potential adopters. We organize annual check-ups for adopted animals to ensure they’re living in good conditions. After graduating, I worked at New Ruipeng, China’s largest pet healthcare group. Starting as an assistant to the president and later becoming the operations manager for several pet hospitals, I gained extensive knowledge about pet healthcare, grooming, and overall animal well-being. My job allowed me to interact with numerous pets and their owners, understanding their needs deeply. I have extensive experience in training puppies, caring for senior pets, and providing specialized care for all types of animals. I am full of energy, kindness, and a deep love for every furry friend I meet! As a graduated postgraduate student at the University of Nottingham, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to pet sitting. My weekly routine is highly adaptable, providing me the ability to offer consistent and reliable care for your pets. Whether it’s during the day or evening, I can accommodate various schedules to ensure your pet’s needs are met. I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets in both my home and the pet owner’s home. I ensure a secure environment by pet-proofing spaces and providing constant supervision. In the pet owner's home, I follow any specific instructions to maintain consistency and comfort for the pet. My background in pet healthcare equips me to handle any emergencies calmly and effectively. I am committed to building trust with both pets and their owners through open communication, transparency, and genuine care.

Hands down the best pet sitters I have ever booked with. Despite having quite a few pets to take care of, first time booking with them and also late notice, they did an amazing job on taking care of them. My cats and dog love them, they seemed to have a fun time together. Will definitely book them again. Thank you so much Dilki and Chamy❤️

About: My family has had both dogs and cats for all of my life so I am well versed in how to take care of them. I have taken care of older dogs and cats so I am comfortable adapting to what they may need as senior animals. As well as and very comfortable working with both at the same time. I have also done some house and pet sitting in the past for neighbors. I am currently a university student. I will have lots of time to look after, play with, and ensure the care of your lovely animal friends as my schedule changes have lots of available days and times. I'm very good at following routines that have been set out. As well as adapting to any situations. I will also communicate effectively with you as much as you wish, whether this be daily photos and updates or the occasional update on how everything is.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Liverpool

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 3,761 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Liverpool. About 86% of Liverpool sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available whilst you work. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

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 Liverpool 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
