About: We love looking after dogs and want to help your pet feel at home with me while you’re away doing important human things. Your pet will be part of our family when they are with us. I have common sence, empathy and intuition. I love a cuddle and am a human nurse 😍 I live close to a big green park for walks We love to take dogs with to our activities like going to the pub, the river, paddling pool and for days out. If your pet is up for it of course. We recently took a pet on the miniature railway! I live with my partner who will also be involved in giving your pet love and attention. We have a big house and a lovely enclosed garden for them to enjoy and once we are all worn out they can join us chilling in the sofa If you have a bigger dog than our set criteria we are happy to have them as long as they are well behaved and able to sleep downstairs alone. I am a human nurse so hygiene is big on my agenda so I do lots of cleaning between customers. I’m understanding if different schedules and will fit around theirs if needed. There are quiet spaces available in the house. I do a mixture of work from home and working from an office that’s only a few streets away. And partner does shifts so we can ensure someone is home 24/7. We can do any length and frequency of walk desired and dogs on longer stays will be taken for walks and days further away (Whisby being one of our favourite). I have an enclosed back garden and live in a quiet street. There are no other pets here and it’s a big house for them to have their own space and move around when home. The basics of my job as a nurse is making sure basic needs are met like eating, sleeping, weeing, popping and feeling content, well and happy and I want to make sure this happens for your pet to…. So be prepared to answer questions about their pooping routine! I have done the NarpsUK free dog sitting course and am currently undertaking the full course which includes being educated about dog/cat first aid, breeds and healthcare.
“Following g some initial issues caused by the upload system that Rover used all comms started to come through fine. Angela was great with Howie , Cori and Dill who frankly can be a handful at times. They seemed very settled on my return home.”

“Evie did a great job handling my pack. Each of my 3 dogs have specific needs and Evie took this all in her stride. Particularly impressed with how Evie handled my reactive Samoyed- he’s a strong, highly strung dog- but Evie wasn’t phased. Thank you Evie. Look forward to seeing you again soon!”

About: I've always loved animals, and am an ex-zookeeper who specialised in large hoofstock. I have a lot of experience with smaller animals too, I volunteered for 18 months with a rabbit rescue centre, a year with the Blue Cross volunteering in their cattery and I've previously walked dogs and done some dog sitting casually and as a short term job. I have a degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and as part of my degree I learnt a lot about companion animal behaviour, and have done some dog training before. I have also done a lot of positive reinforcement training at work, though with a lot bigger animals! I'm a reliable, responsible and friendly person who is well organised and loves animals. I would love to look after your dog, cat, rabbit or smaller/larger pet! I'm currently free all the time, in September I will be starting a Masters degree and will have to work around lectures, though will only be at University for two days a week. I am a very reliable and responsible person, who takes the safety and health of pets very seriously. I am used to doing constant checks of animal health and wellbeing as part of my job. I love to spend time with animals and enjoy playing with all types of pets.

About: I have experiences of a whole variety of pets. I’ve been around dogs since I was a small child and have walked and sat for: beagles, labradors, west highland terriers, Irish terriers, schitzus, spaniels, schnauzers, sheep dogs, and the list goes on! I have two cats of my own who are beautiful (but obviously I’m biased!). They’re Siamese x ragdoll so very chatty and very needy. They can do lots of tricks including sit, spin, stand, paw, fist bump… I’ve certainly put my psychology training to good use! I’ve also had cats all my life so I’m very familiar with this, too, whether that’s indoor cats or outdoor cats! I also have lots of experience with pet rats as well as chinchillas and have regularly house sat and done check ins for these animals too :) I nearly always work from home and love the company of pets for house sitting, but also love to get out and go for walks - even better if I can do that with a dog or cat! I have experience of a whole variety of different environments and animals. I’ve worked with dogs who get on well with other dogs and also hate other dogs, and also dogs with anxiety and who are very nervous. I’ve also looked after both indoor and outdoor cats in a variety of settings so can easily adapt to you and your pets needs as you see fit :)

About: Having grown up around animals pretty much my whole life, I have lots of experience in taking care and loving animals and know exactly what it takes to look after yours. Although taking care of animals can be a handful at times- whether you have an anxious pet, a puppy that hasn’t been crate trained or a dog that needs medication- I find it to be one of the most rewarding jobs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and am very adaptable when it comes to your pets needs. As a young woman I am very diligent when it comes to security, always ensuring doors and any entrances are locked. I am proactive and am able to handle any unexpected occurrences or issues that may arise. I maintain a line of communication with pet owners to keep them updated and address any concerns. Alongside Rover, I have accumulated lots of experience on various different pet sitting apps, having looked after many different animals, predominantly dogs. Hi! I am Hannah, I am 23 years old and have lots of time to spend with your little ones :) I have just come back from 1 year of travel and have decided not to jump straight back into employment, so all of my time can be devoted to pet sitting! I am available for overnight sits every day of the week, as well as day sits, drop in visits and dog walking. My flat is on a fenced in 20+ acre piece of land so there is plenty of room for your dogs to run around, and on top of this I am surrounded by numerous dog walking spots with lakes and mountain trails right on our doorstep. On the flip side, if you would prefer me to come and stay in your home to look after your pets, I want to ensure you a worry free trip through treating your home as I would my own with care and consideration. I maintain cleanliness making sure you return to your home in the same great condition.

About: 🐾 I'm a genuine dog lover who has grown up around dogs my whole life, so I'm very comfortable caring for them and understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. 🐾 I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. Whether they love energetic adventures or a gentle stroll, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they have a great time. 🐾 I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Along with walks, I'm always happy to provide lots of fuss, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and companionship to help them feel relaxed and loved. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide your dog with the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love being outdoors and regularly go on walks, so your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air, and companionship. Whether it's a longer countryside walk or a stroll around the local area, I'll make sure they're happy, active, and well looked after throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home provides a welcoming, relaxed environment where they can feel at ease during their stay. I also have a fully fenced garden, giving dogs a secure outdoor space to stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air under supervision. Whether they're relaxing indoors or exploring the garden, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for throughout their stay.

About: I have several years of hands‑on experience caring for small dogs and cats. I regularly look after my sister’s two chihuahuas — one high‑energy and one more sensitive — and have been caring for them for around three years while she travels. I’ve also grown up with dogs in the family, so I’m confident supporting different small‑dog personalities, from lively and playful to shy or routine‑focused. I offer a calm, steady presence and follow each pet’s needs closely to help them feel safe and settled. I am self-employed and live life at my own rhythm, which means I have the time and paced energy to be there for your pets throughout the day. My routine is flexible and calm, so I can offer steady company, walks and care whenever they need it. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most settled. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean and calm, and make sure they have steady company, walks and attention. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I give your pets.
“Christa is absolutely wonderful! She stayed at my home to pet sit for my dog, Pearl, who is relatively particular, and Pearl warmed to Christa very quickly. Christa is an excellent communicator, attentive to detail, organized, and a generally pleasant, kind, compassionate, and considerate individual. I felt very comfortable knowing that Christa was caring for my dog in my home. I recommendation Christa without hesitation! Thank you, Christa! You are the best!”

“Debbie is a gem, her level of care for both our pets and our home is second to none. In the midst of a very busy family holiday she took the stress and worry off our shoulders with ease. Our pets were calm and happy on our return. Thank you so much Debbie!”

“Looked after our cocker spaniel for a week. Kept us updated daily and always fast to respond. Lovely photos received of great walks and the house was pristine on return. Thank you.”


About: I've taken care of other people's pets from a teenager until now. I don't have my own pets so lovely to have the opportunity to spend time with yours! I am looking at this being my full time job so rest assured I will be able to stick with whatever your normal routine is with your fur babies. As I will be looking after your pets in your home, I am happy for you to walk me through your daily routine and how things are usually done.
“Rebecca has been amazing getting to know our 4 year old rescue Cooper at his own pace. She has built up from drops ins to a weekend sit and has been great throughout. She sent photos and updates while we were away, and the house was left lovely and tidy when we got home. We'd definitely recommend her! 🙂”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young, and I've always been the one caring for them. I have hands-on experience with Labrador Retrievers, American Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs. I’m quite skilled at exercising them through long walks or playing with them at home. They do not need to be crate trained, as I have worked with both options. I can assist with command training if needed, or, if they are young, I can maintain consistency in their training. I can also pick them up and drop them off in my car. I have a dog collar seatbelt for safety. Happy to discuss any flexibility needed or adjust the pet car to suit your requirements. I work from home on Fridays and Mondays, and I am very likely to work from home on weekends. This allows me to pet-sit full-time from Friday to Monday. I have a very flexible job, so I could probably organise extra weekdays if needed, given some notice. I have fostered dogs and cats before while they waited to be re-homed. I also drive, so I am quite flexible regarding location and can visit the pet’s owner's home. I will follow their routines and care needs depending on the pet. I live in a two-bedroom house with a good kitchen and living room. I go for walks quite often, so exercise wouldn’t be a problem, and I also have a fenced backyard of around 10m x 5m. If I'm caring for the pet at the owner’s house, I will adhere to their rules and continue with their daily routine. I also drive, so I am quite flexible with locations, whether going to the pet owner's home or taking them to bigger parks. I would send the owners daily updates in the form of videos and photos, depending on their preferences. I am quite flexible and able to adapt to different routines.

Ava was absolutely fantastic. Both our cats were happy (a difficult task). They were well looked after and the house was left in a lovely way, too. Ava was really easy to communicate with and is such a lovely person, too. We would very happily have Ava house sit for us again!

Lauren has been our regular sitter for a while now, and Max and Mitzi absolutely adore her! 🐶🐶 She’s reliable, caring, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. We can tell how much she genuinely loves animals — they get so excited every time she arrives! It gives us complete peace of mind knowing our pups are in such safe and loving hands. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!

So far Emma has been looking after our elderly labrador twice for a few days and overnight. We couldn’t praise her enough. Her communication prior to the stay has been excellent. Our dog has been very happy , relaxed with Emma. He has been given plenty of attention and love. We have received updates regularly ensuring peace of mind while away. We will definitely keep booking Emma when available.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Newark walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 .
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 Newark 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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
