“Hollie was really helpful. Constant update pictures throughout her stay. Played with the cat, cleaned up after him and gave him as much playtime and attention that he needed. Will defo be using again! ”


“Beth was brilliant we would definitely recommend. She very generously offered a meet and greet and drove 30 minutes each way to meet our dog ahead of a 1 night sit. She was so attentive to our westie and was great with him. She gave plenty of updates which were much appreciated and we very much felt that out home and doggy were left in good hands. Thank you Beth 😊”


About: I am a reliable and friendly pet carer who loves building a strong bond with every pet I care for and their owners! I’m happy to walk your fur babies, provide drop-in visits and/or house sit. Dog-care experience: I started walking dogs last year through BMD and have experience with a range of breeds and personalities, from Dachshunds and Cockapoos to Labradors. I have also cared for senior dogs and more challenging dogs including those who have limited recall, are strong leash pullers, or who experience attachment issues when separated from their owners. I’m comfortable adapting my approach to suit each individual dog which may include implementing training techniques such as clickers, squeakers and, of course, plenty of treats! I also have experience house-sitting while providing pet care and have developed strong, trusting relationships with previous owners and their pets. References can be provided upon request. Cat-care experience: I also have a fur baby of my own🐱 (which means I don’t offer daycare or boarding - sorry!) This has given me experience with cat care too, including feeding, litter cleaning and, most importantly, plenty of playtime and cuddles. I can’t wait to become your pet’s new best friend!❤️ I’m currently a medical student, which means I’m usually unavailable Monday–Friday, 9–5 during term time. However, I’m very happy to provide care outside of these hours, as well as during weekends and university holidays! I’m also very active and love getting outdoors and going on hikes to stay fit. I’d love to bring your fur baby along on my adventures, if they’re up for it! 🐾🥾❤️ I don’t offer day care or boarding, however I’m more than happy to house-sit once I’ve established a bond with you and your pet. Before any house-sit, I like to establish a bond with your pet and understand their usual routine. This means understanding their individual needs, including feeding schedule, walks, medication, and any house rules you have. I’ll also ask you for their vet details, emergency contact details and what to do should anything unexpected happen while you’re away. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, ensuring it is secure, clean and tidy throughout the stay. I’m more than happy to keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being well looked after.

“Georgina swooped in to look after our dog Moose at the last minute sure to some unforeseen changes with our already arranged sitter. She was brilliant with Moose and he clearly loved spending time with her! She sent us regular updates and photos and took brilliant care of both Moose and our home. She is a great sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced cat and dog owner, currently sharing my home with Spooky, my 12-year-old cat, and Nenya, my energetic 3-year-old corgi. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and boundaries. I’m patient, attentive and happy to tailor each visit to what makes your pet feel most comfortable - whether that means an engaging walk, plenty of playtime, a quiet cuddle or simply giving a cautious cat the space to approach me in their own time. I regularly care for pets belonging to those in my personal network and will treat yours with the same care and affection I give my own. I’m reliable, respectful of your home and will keep you reassured with thoughtful updates and plenty of photos while your pet is in my care. **Please note that I’m unavailable for daytime visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I may still be available during the evenings on these days.** I work hybrid as a communications specialist, giving me flexibility across the week for walks and drop-in visits, particularly on my home-working days. I’m also available during many evenings and weekends and will always confirm that I can comfortably fit your pet’s full routine around my schedule before accepting a booking. Every pet is different, so I take time to understand their personality, routine and boundaries, following their owner’s instructions carefully. At home, I care for Spooky, my 13-year-old cat, and Nenya, my playful 3-year-old corgi, so I’m very familiar with balancing different temperaments and needs. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to pet safety, and committed to providing reliable updates throughout every booking. For additional reassurance, I have completed both DBS and credit checks for my day-to-day work.
“He’s really really nice , great with my dog ghost, updates regularly and really good communication , specially on the fact it was last minute , will deffo be having him dog sit again , Ghost ( my dog ) approves”

About: I am currently a vet student and my whole world revolves around animals. I have done dog sitting and walking for 5 years now and love it! I am passionate to provide the most loving care for all animals with constant play and cuddles. Due to being a vet student I am in class every week day but I am very happy to spend my time in the evenings and weekends looking after your pets as well as during breaks and holidays. I have done housesitting various times, sometimes for a day and other times up to a week. I always like to meet owners and pets at least once before coming to stay in the house and make sure we’re a good match. It’s important that the animal gets to know me and trusts me before I sit as well as answer any questions beforehand.
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs and reptiles since I was 10. I have completed an animal management course and have completed a canine first aid course as well as a canine behaviour course. I have experience with all breeds and have also worked in dog grooming salon where I also took care of many dogs. My schedule changes each month. I am always available three days a week fully but can try to fit visits/ walks when I’m working too. I am very caring with absolutely all animals and have experience with owners boundaries. I am perfectly aware that every owner has their own preferences and I am ready to take care of your pet how YOU want them to be taken care of. I have a safe home with a fenced garden and very friendly and docile pets who get flea and worn treatment regularly. My pets are home animals so it is very unlikely for them to get any fleas or diseases from other Animals
“Charley is so lovely and such a kind person! She was so calm, kept the house super tidy and which is the most important Newton loved her!! 🥰 I will definitely be booking Charley again for the next time we are away! Thank you so much for taking care of our beautiful Newton! ♥️ x”


About: Hi, I’m Jasmine! I’m a reliable, caring, and trustworthy animal lover who understands that pets are part of the family. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to providing the highest level of care and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening walks, weekend walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work full time Monday to Friday. I am available most evenings and weekends for walks, overnight stays, drop ins and lots of fun! I absolutely love animals! No matter the size we will have lots of fun weather that’s walking, relaxing or playing. Your pet’s safety will always be my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep dogs on a lead unless you’ve specifically requested otherwise in a safe, secure area, avoid unsafe situations, make sure they always have access to fresh water, and ensure they receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I’ll also respect your home’s security by locking doors and gates and making sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave.

“Char was an absolute delight! Yuki had the BEST time with what seems like her new best friend. Very polite and thorough in what she doing and always trying to communicate with us, despite us having no signal for most of the day! Patient, trustworthy and 100% would recommend and rebook, thank you Char! <3 :)”

“Kirsty came to meet Bailey before coming to stay. Communication was excellent, including photos and videos. The house was left clean and tidy. Bailey was happy. Will definitely book again. Thank you.”


About: I’ve taken primary care of the family pets since I was 12, so 10 years now!, miss them like crazy now I’m student so far from home! I have petsitted for neighbours, friends, family members, and have dog walked for them too. New to ‘professional’ pet sitting but I hope my reliability, knowledge, and love for animals shines through in everything I do :) I’m a third year university student! so obviously when that starts again I have a few hours a week for lectures where I’m not available but other than that, I’m free! I’m super flexible so just let me know when you need me and I’ll have plenty of time to visit, care, or walk whoever needs it! I do not feel safe/comfortable boarding dogs where I live as it is a student accommodation. However I am attentive and a quick learner so will pick up quickly on safety/care requirements in your own home and respect your privacy if/when I am within it (I’m mostly focused on the pets anyway! haha). I’m familiar with the local area and many of the people (and dogs!) within it. I have an ID and references from friends/family available on request if you want me to prove my identity or my past experience (understandable!)
About: I am an animal lover who has had furry companions for most of my life. I’m currently a fourth year veterinary student who is very used to working around a range of different pets. Additionally I have a dog and 2 cats however with being so far from home during uni i definitely miss them and would love any opportunity to look after your pets!Email any preferences you have for your dog whilst they are in my care ie. any specific food they need or if you feel comfortable with your dog being off the lead etc. Currently my I am able to do evenings on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday due to uni commitments, however the rest of the days I’m available any time. I also have a car so I can easily get to your pet for any services you book. I’ll prioritise yours and your pets need when I’m pet sitting in your house, so that everyone if comfortable and well looked after. Having a car means I’m willing to drive to places which provide your dog with scenic and adventurous walks.
“I cannot tell you how amazing Isi has been. For the first time ever I felt like I didn’t have to worry about our Sid. Isi sent pictures and updates daily and nothing seemed too much trouble. Cannot recommend enough xx”

About: I have been walking and looking after pets from a young age having grown up with a variety of cats, dogs, horses and hamsters. I volunteered to walk dogs for the elderly neighbours when I was still at school I have since then worked with horses and within farming. I set up on my own as a dog walker and pet sitter last year giving up my full time job to do that. I still keep my hand in with the odd milking and bit of calf rearing on the farm. I have two working spaniels myself so have experience with energetic high prey drive dogs. Where I can I foster for a rescue and volunteer at a couple of dog rescues with their training and assessments. I am fully insured and DBS checked, I have my first aid and I’m currently completing a course in canine training, behaviour and welfare. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own and their individual needs met to a high standard at all times. This is now my full time job and I work my daily routine around my bookings. I started my own business just over 12 months ago now and I love spending every day with some amazing pets. I endeavour to follow the pets routine as it would be when their owners are home so as to not unsettle them. I always treat each pet as if they are my own and love and spoil them all the same.

We had a fantastic experience with Phoxx house sitting for us, looking after our two young/energetic dogs. You can tell how experienced with dogs she is and our easily overwhelmed rescue setter did not phase her at all. Both our boys took to her straight away ☺️ we would def rebook, our home was spotless when we returned which with two dogs is alway hard to maintain! 🤣

Olivia is a very caring pleasant person, and very comfortable to be with …I would recommend her to all my family and friends if ever they were needing someone to take care of their furry members of the family ..we were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing our little beaut was in such capable hands, we had lovely photos out on her walks too and was kept informed of how she was doing … we would like to thank Olivia very much and would definitely ask for her again 😊

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 Newcastle-under-Lyme 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 Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
