“Terry was great, really friendly and flexible. Looked after our dog at our home really well. Lots of photos and updates which were really appreciated and all messages were responded to fully and really quickly. Would definitely use again.”
About: I’ve always lived with dogs - childhood pets, dog sitting when studying and now having my own dogs. Currently we have a young setter whom we trained from a puppy. I have experience in looking after a range of dogs but the majority of my experience is with spaniels (my previous dog was a springer spaniel), retrievers and Labrador’s and their needs. I’m used to high energy dogs who need lots of walking and game playing. I have experienced first hand the transformation in a dog once it has sufficient exercise and stimulation, so will always look to ensure that your dog has enough walking and play. Our setter has suffered from separation anxiety, so I very aware of the challenges of this & the resulting behaviour. We have worked hard to overcome this & with the right routine in place can now leave him for a couple of hours. We are also working very hard with his recall & making progress, I have honestly found training a ongoing personal achievement and has strengthened our bond hugely. With active dogs, in and out of puddles etc. I am very aware regular brushing is essential to keep their coat untangled and clean. Personally I think this is a lovely way to spent sometime with your dog when they are calm in the evening and happy to spend time with your dog in this way. I’m work from home part time supporting my partners carpentry business. I have two children (4&7) so have school runs twice a day. I’m around the majority of the day otherwise. I walk our dog after school drop off for at least an hour, we go to local open spaces or drive to the country parks. I will take him for another shorter walk either before pick up or later in the day once my partner is home. I'm happy to take additional walks if this is needed for your dog or play scent games in the house & when I'm home they are always free to go in the garden. I have a two year old friendly neutered male English Setter in my home. He likes all dogs and if they are energetic he will play with them. If they are senior he respects this and is gentle. I walk with him for over an hour a day and often go for runs. I can walk other dogs with or without him. If your dog was in our home, they would be in the same space as him on the ground floor and in the garden. Dogs are not allowed upstairs in the bedrooms but provide beds in each room, so they are able to to be with me throughout the day & are not left alone. Whilst the dog will never be left alone around the children (and my children have been around dogs all their lives), it will need to be happy to be in a family environment. Our setter (like a Labrador) is happy to try and eat anything! During mealtimes, our dog and any visiting dogs will be put in a different room. He is a counter surfer and so surfaces and tables are clear of food aside from mealtimes, so they do not get anything that might upset their tummies. I'm very vigilant on keeping any non dog friendly foods well away (raisins, chocolate etc.)
“Faith is a fantastic person to rely on with your pet. She went above a beyond for us and communicated very effectively. We will be asking her to help us again for sure!”
About: I have a Foundation Degree in Animal Management. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs and cats as pets for most of my life. Petting sitting is my main focus, so I can devote plenty of time to looking after your pets, and my diary availability is fairly flexible. I am more than happy to look after your pet in their home environment, and can offer check ins during the day as needed, as well as ensuring they have access to outdoors and walks as needed.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had a connection and deep love for dogs. Although I’ve never owned a dog personally, I have grew up in a life that has constantly been surrounded by animals. I had a cat which I cherished and took great care of. And I have spent weeks at people’s houses helping them take care of their pets, mainly being dogs. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the faces of each dog I meet light up and jump for joy once they’re fully acquainted with me. I’m currently working part-time at the weekends but am fully flexible throughout the week for pet care. Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm. I service dog walking but nevertheless, the safety of the pet is of the utmost priority. Without ensuring the safety of our animals, we cannot guarantee the safety of ourselves and those around us.
“I'm very happy I found Lesley to look after my Princess Jazz when I'm away. Jazzy lost her brother and she's grieving, she doesn't like visitors much but Lesley was able to feed her from her hand the first time they met. I was amazed.”

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, I bring passion, patience, and genuine love for animals to every visit. From playful walks and cuddles to meal times and cozy snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s housesitting for friends, family, or through trusted pet services, I’ve built a reputation as a responsible, reliable, and attentive caregiver who truly understands the unique personality and needs of each animal. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority. I’ll keep tails wagging, purrs flowing, and owners at ease knowing their furry friends are in caring, capable hands. I'm self-employed running my own coaching business from home and have full flexibility and autonomy of my diary. I can work remotely from anywhere and currently, only have a handful of regular, commited client hours to cater for. This flexibility means I can be on hand to deliver attentive, dedicated time, focus and care to your pets. I love caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where they feel completely at ease. I always respect each pet’s space and boundaries, paying close attention to their body language so I can respond to their unique personalities, knowing whether they’re in the mood for play, cuddles, or some quiet time. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and enrichment for minimum disruption to them and helping them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. From keeping their home safe and tidy to giving them gentle attention and companionship, my goal is to build trust and make every pet feel loved, happy, and cared for.
About: I've grown up with dogs, my dog as a teen was my best friend. We went everywhere together and she was always by my side, so I truly know how much a dog becomes part of a family and how much they mean to you. I've also had multiple rescue cats over 20 years, my current cat i found at 6 weeks old and hes now 10. Im always nervous to leave him so completely understand if you are too. 4 years ago I started looking after other people's dogs and soon gained regular dog sitting. I also took on 2 dogs as a temporary foster care while the owner was unwell. Taking care of dogs isn't just a job, it's a passion. At the moment im at home so can provide care for your pets majority of the day. Unfortunately due to having an elderly cat i can't accommodate any animals in my own home, but im more than happy to pet sit in the pets own home. I also have 2 children who loves animals just as much as i do, they've been taught how to take care of animals and know how to respect an animals boundaries. I currently have availability between 9 and 2 on weekdays without my children but if your pets are good with kids then these hours can be extended later and during weekends. My children absolutely adore animals and know how to care for them. Unfortunately due to having an elderly cat, I can't accept dogs into my home. I will follow any routine that your pet needs in your home, follow any guidance on how your dog is walked, personalities, etc. And I will take care of them just like I would my own.
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs since I was little. I have personally owned small - medium dogs, whilst also caring for my partners large/giant dogs. I have trained puppies basic skills and recall. I have also looked after cats for family members previously. I have a love for all animals, big or small and would love to provide a service your pet requires. I currently work shift patterns so each week my availability will change. However, with regular time off, I am able to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced, large read garden to accommodate any and all of your pets needs. I do not currently have any pets within the home. I do not have any children within the home and only live with my partner.
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I was 6. Family and friends have often relied on me to take care of their dogs. I myself am a dog owner and know how much they mean to us. I am currently not doing any other work and have plenty of time to take care of your dogs. I am basically free any time and day. I have a fenced back yard with good space, as well as I have a friendly puppy my self which can make company to your dog, which if needed I can also keep apart. Large parks and fields at walking distance when I can also go for a walk with your dog.
About: I have been caring for doggies since the age of 10, from small chihuahuas to big staffies and retrievers! I have my own two extremely sweet, loving and playful girls - Judy, and Ava that I’ve had since a pup. They are my babies, have been socialised plenty growing up and are amazing around other animals! I have a huge garden for high energy furry ones, and a comfy sofa for the cuddlers, so if you have a preference in separating your fur baby please let me know! Having looked after many different doggies, I’ve had the amazing experience to meet so many dogs with different personalities! I’m fully flexible, ready to meet the needs of you and your doggies, whenever you need it 😊 I am a full time university student studying law, that works from home. I work part time at Lloyds bank 3 days a week where the rest of the time I’m at home or out with my doggies! My garden is all fenced around at almost 6ft high and big enough for large dogs to have a good run! I always let me girls out for a morning toilet and play around 7am followed by a walk to the park 2 mins away and breakfast when home and then some rest and cuddles on the sofa. By afternoon I usually like to take my girls to leyborne lakes, shorne country park and venture somewhere new! No requirements at all- all doggies are allowed on furniture and can make noise, making sure they’re as comfy as can be! I can be fully flexible to your babies needs and their schedules as I want them to feel as at home as can be ❤️
“I'm very pleased with the care my cats had while I was away, Jason and his daughter we very reliable, sent pics and made things easier for me as my cats are newly together. Thank you ”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I cannot imagine my life without them. Growing up, my family had cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs before I finally convinced my parents to let me have my beautiful Labrador, Reuben. Since then, my love for animals has only grown. I’ve been trusted by friends, family and neighbours to care for their pets since I was around 11 years old, and I love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a puppy bursting with energy or an older dog who prefers a slower pace. I am happy to adapt to their personalities and routines. I am experienced in caring for dogs from 8-week old puppies through to frail senior dogs, including administering medication when needed. I know that every pet is different, so I will always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal with the same kindness, patience and attention that I’d want for my own. I have a flexible routine that allows me to offer daytime pet visits and dog walks throughout the week. I carefully schedule bookings around my own dogs needs to ensure that I can give every pet my full attention and provide reliable, unhurried care. As I’m currently only offering pet visits and dog walks, I will be caring for your pet in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in- their own home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I will always follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, administering medication, refreshing water or making sure your pet gets the exercise, playtime or quiet company they need. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always come first. I’ll make sure doors, gates and windows are secure, keep walks safe and suited to your dogs needs, and treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos after each visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and well looked after.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently share my home with my own Labrador and Cavapoo, so I understand first-hand what different breeds and sizes need day to day, from a Lab's energy to a Cavapoo's smaller size and routine. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets, whether that's a quick check-in or a full house sit while they're away, and I know how much of a difference it makes for a pet to stay in their own home with their own routine rather than being uprooted. I have real experience with pets who need a bit more patience, including anxious or reactive dogs who need a calm, steady presence and clear boundaries rather than pressure. I'm comfortable reading body language and adjusting my approach so nervous pets feel safe rather than overwhelmed. I'm also confident with puppies and kittens, from basic house training and crate routines to gentle socialisation, and equally experienced with senior pets, including administering medication, managing mobility issues and keeping an eye out for changes that owners should know about. Whether it's a drop-in visit or a full house sit, you can expect close attention, honest updates and a pet who's genuinely cared for in the comfort of their own home. I'm flexible with timing and always aim to follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible. I offer morning, afternoon and evening drop-in visits, as well as overnight house sitting. I confirm exact visit times in advance and keep them consistent throughout the booking, which helps cats and dogs alike feel settled and secure, especially those who rely on a predictable routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly as provided and make sure doors, windows, gates and feeding areas are secure at all times. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment rather than being uprooted. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going while you're away.
About: From feeding and playing with animals filling busy homes to caring for older individual cats or dogs, every animal deserves the best treatment and compassion. I am happy to say I should be able to fit your furry friends in with my routine even at short notice as I work from home and enjoy the company of all animals, from aging cats to boisterous, larger breeds of dogs. I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced garden with no other animals at the property ensuring a safe environment for your best friend. Play time and gentle company will always be available 24/7 when they stay.

Maria has been a fantastic cat sitter, she sent daily updates, pics and videos of Pebbles. On top of this Maria fed the fox, hedgehog and fish plus watered the plants and groomed Pebs. I would highly recommend Marie, she is a lovely lady, followed instructions left by myself for all there needs, and most of all Pebbles enjoyed spending time with Maria.
Carrie-Anne looked after our cat Sid. We received daily reports on Sid and we received pictures which really helped us to know he was OK. Sid isn't keen on strangers so it was lovely to see him interacting. We have already booked her again for our next holiday.
Angela looked after our 4 cats while we were away for the night. As always they loved her, I have a strange sensation that they would be happy if she came and feed them every day! Updates showing our darlings not missing us at all but enjoying tickles from her. It's true that cats do not bite the hands that feed them. I cannot recommend Angela highly enough, this is our third booking with her and every time we go away know they will be loved. Thank you A
Ross was absolutely fantastic with bonnie showing the highest level of care taking all of Bonnie's needs into consideration. His communication with fantastic and he really does care about the animals who he visits. I can't recommend Ross enough and I will definitely be using him again in the future.
Melissa was fantastic, we booked her for drop in visits for our two sphynx cats whilst we went away, super friendly and caring, which is so reassuring when you are away from your pets knowing they are in good hands. Highly recommend Melissa, and thank you so much!!

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.
