“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: Hi, I’m your friendly neighbourhood pet sitter in Stoke-on-Trent, here to spoil your furry family members while you’re away. I grew up in a home full of animals, so being surrounded by wagging tails, purrs, and happy energy is my natural state. I share my life with two cats of my own, and I’ve cared for a variety of pets for friends and clients—each with their own personality, needs, and little quirks. I love taking the time to get to know every pet and turning each visit into their own mini-holiday at home. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to calm senior pets, I’m experienced with different ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable administering medication, following specific routines, and adapting to what your pet needs—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, exercise, or simply quiet companionship. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave them behind. That’s why I focus on clear and reassuring communication, with regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own: with patience, care, and genuine affection. My goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My availability can vary during the week due to my work pattern, but I always aim to be transparent and flexible. I’m always available for overnight sitting, and on some days I’m also available full-time. I can offer early morning routines, as well as afternoon and evening visits depending on the day. On some days I’m free from the morning through to early afternoon, while on others I’m available later in the day, usually after 8pm. I’m always happy to discuss specific visit times in advance to make sure they fit both your routine and your pet’s needs. If you have a particular schedule in mind, just send me a message and I’ll do my best to accommodate it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to home security and routines—so your pet and your home stay safe and well cared for. I respect your space, keep everything tidy, and treat your home with the same care I give my own. I take time to help each pet feel relaxed and comfortable with me, whether that means walks and playtime, gentle interaction, or simply quiet company. I never force attention and always adapt to your pet’s personality and pace—whether they’re energetic, affectionate, or a little more reserved. With clear communication, regular updates, and a calm, reliable presence, my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while your pet enjoys a safe, familiar environment at home.
“We had such a good experience with Charlie! He took wonderful care of our standard poodle and Labrador retriever while we were away. Both dogs absolutely adored him- it's clear from the photos and video we were sent and they were happy and cared for. His communication was excellent, keeping us updated throughout the stay and making us feel completely at ease. We could tell he really paid attention to our dogs’ needs and routines. We highly recommend and would definitely book Charlie again!”

“Charley was great throughout the visit. Regular txts and photos to keep me and wife updated. My family live close by and they were complimenting on happy Stanley looked while walking with Charley .Our house was spotless on return aswell. Definitely recommend Charley We will booking her again in near future. Thanks alot”

“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!

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.
“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”

“Jackie was fantastic. We did a meet ahead of the sitting and she was so great with Luna. Nice, calm and kind. She was at our house for 24 hours and took Luna out, played with her and generally made sure she had a nice time. She kept me up to date with pics as well. The house was left clean and tidy and Luna was very happy. Will definitely use again and recommend 100%.”

“Kim was fantastic with Charlie and the house. Lots of updates, playing fetch, walkies and cuddles for Charlie; just as we had hoped! Would definitely recommend and definitely will book again!”


About: Hello! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals, I have owned cats and dogs since I was a baby and have grown up around animals. I currently care for five cats—four of whom are rescues, one of them being very nervous and shy which we are working through—and two dogs, including a high-energy Boxer and a long-haired Cockapoo. Living with such a diverse mix of personalities has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments, activity levels, and care needs. Having grown up with both cats and dogs, I’m very comfortable handling everything from playful, energetic pets to more nervous or shy animals that need extra patience and understanding. I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where every pet feels secure and well cared for. I offer flexible services including house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, or general check-ins. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise and stimulation or a gentle, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to suit their individual needs. I am currently working part time at a football stadium however the season has now finished meaning I have time available for pet sitting. I occasionally volunteer as I have a degree working with horses however that is dependant on my work schedule. I have two dogs that are extremely friendly and love meeting new dogs if there is a nervous dog in need of a friend on walks, I am constantly observing the behaviour of new dogs and cats in first meetings to ensure they are comfortable, I am always ready to play and offer different types of enrichment for both cats and dogs to decrease boredom!
About: I have grown up with dogs in my childhood, and I have always been an animal lover. I'm very patient and energetic person that would love to use my time more efficiently by doing what I love. At the moment my schedule is very free since I have officially finished college. I don't have any preferences so spam me with any opportunities you got for me! When I was younger, I would feed my pets daily (of course) and take them on walks first thing in the morning (and throughout the day) to avoid any accidents! I love walks so me and the doggo would have a great time. I loved training my dog new tricks like sitting down and then treating them, it allowed me to bond with them and gave them an opportunity to build new skills.
About: I have owned dogs and cat since childhood Currently own a jackapoo. Age 8 and a cat aged 9 I’ve also taken my family and friends dogs for walks and house sat them I have a lot of free time and I can travel to and from any destination within 10 miles of where I live I am trustworthy and a pet lover I have a fenced rear garden which is private and has grass area for pets to do there business also have a large grass field just behind the property
About: Recently had two very active dogs who sadly passed away. Lovely countryside walks to take dogs on down quiet lanes. Always had pets since a very young age, so love looking after animals. I currently work from home so I can take frequent breaks to take care of your pets needs whenever necessary and will always have an caring eye on them. typically walk dogs once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once before bed. I have a large garden in the countryside for pets to roam around in. The garden is lined with walls and fences so dogs can't escape. Located in the countryside on a quiet lane with lots of nice walks on the doorstep.
About: I’ve had a little Jack Russel since I was 9. Family have relied on me to care for their dogs whilst on their holidays. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs such as Springers and terriers. I am a full time Trainee Solicitor and I am available most weekend for dog sitting / walking. I can also do night time visits in the week if necessary. I will always ensure to have eyes on the pet and know where they are. I will mostly sit with them and if the dog allows, give them a little fuss. Depending on the owners requirements, I will walk them, bathe them and just keep them company.
“Amelia was excellent with Rocky and I felt at ease leaving him with her straight away! She arrived promptly and was very polite. Rocky was very comfortable with her and she kept me updated with how Rocky was getting on whilst we were away. Would definitely recommend and will use again!”

About: I am a hands on, enthusiastic animal lover who has cared for animals for over 30 years including dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, horses and hens. I have undertaken pet sittings in particular for over 15 years for friends, family and clients and ensure that your pets are cared for to the highest standard. I hold a DBS check, Driving Licence and am committed to the needs of the pet(s) within my care. Depending on the breed and age, I am patient, attentive and committed to ensuring that your pet's routine is adhered to as well as ensuring any medication requirements are met. I currently work part time undertaking administration for my wife's business which is done remotely via laptop therefore I have as much time that's required to care for your pet(s). I may have regular dog walks throughout the day however this would be minimal if you required me to be present constantly for your pets. For a pet sit in your home, I am open to adhering to the requests in which you set yourselves to fit into your pets timetable. It is important to me to ensure that any pet sit undertaken is smooth with minimal disruption to their daily routine.

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 😊
Hettie was incredible with the doggies, I bombarded her with my crazy schedule and list of things about them and she just took it in her stride and left me feeling so comfortable that they were being really well cared for. She was super reliant and both pups bonded with her so well! Rodney even waited at the door for her for a while! Thank you so much!

We went away for the weekend and Hayley looked after my beagle. She came for a meet and greet prior to the stay so she could get to know me and my dog! Crumbs loved Hayley’s company and really settled with her. She followed his routine and made sure he was well looked after! She sent me updates of their days to put my mind at ease and lots of pictures too! I would definitely recommended Hayley, and I would use her again in the future if needed.

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.
