About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training—from crate training and leash manners to basic commands—and I’m also comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets, including administering medication and keeping a calm, familiar environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every visit leaves your pet happy and stress-free I am a healthy, active, retired professional lady. I live alone so would have plenty of time and love to give to your fur baby My garden is fully fenced. Your fur baby would live indoors. Sleep on my bed if that is what they are used to. I have no other pets so it will be just your dog.

About: I've always had family dogs and now have my own dog louie boy who I'm obsessed with. I am reliable and safe with your dog and would look after them as if they was my own. I'm often going to the woods to fill up my free days as i work shifts. I love being surrounded by dogs and have free time to fill since moving to Chesterfield. I'm flexible so just message for any further information or last minute bookings. I have one dog in the home and no children. I can make arrangements for your dog to be the only one if necessary. I currently work shifts and weekends so have free days in the week/ weekends. Each week the shifts change so have flexibility with different days and times. I can't currently commit to the same routine each week but can try my best. I have my 7 year old intact male at home. There is a secured garden and a field for walks 2 mins up the street. All dogs made to feel welcome on furniture

Ellie is amazing! Her love, care and passion for animals is second to none. When meeting Ellie for the first time, she instantly made us feel at ease, our puppy Ralphy instantly fell asleep in her arms! Ellie made sure to understand and implement our routines for consistency for our puppy and also gave equal attention to our two cats. We absolutely will be booking in again with Ellie, cannot recommend her enough!

About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.

About: I have lived with dogs since I was 10 years old. We are a family of dog lovers and our dogs are our babies. I have now been dog sitting with my partner since November and we have cared for multiple dogs needing different levels of care. We have received multiple bookings and positive feedback from all of our clients. We have our own dog who we care for and walk every day. We have lots of ideas of dog walks and also know what it is like to care for a reactive dog as our dog can be anxious around other dogs. I provide regular updates to you as an owner as I know how important this is for you. Every dog we have cared for has become part of our family for the short time we’ve had them and we always miss them and hope to see them again soon! I am looking to earn some extra money pet sitting and dog walking. As I am a primary school teacher this is something that me and my partner are able to do on evenings, weekends or school holidays. We are eager to fit in pet care at weekends and school holidays as it is something we really enjoying doing. We can care for dogs in our own home due to our dog being reactive he would not be in our home and would be cared for by my partner’s mum who shares the dog with us at her home. We treat your dog like our own and the safety of your pet is of paramount importance. We always think about how we would want someone to care for our dog when caring for your pets. Our pets are our babies and when your pet stays with us we welcome them in as a member of our family.

About: I’m a warm, friendly and reliable pet sitter, and together with my partner Lauren, we offer caring and dependable pet sitting for animals of all ages and personalities. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pets and keep them happy, safe and comfortable while you’re away. Having rescued my own dog in the past, Lily, I know how much patience, trust and gentle care can mean to a pet. Through helping with her training, building her confidence and understanding her individual needs, I’ve developed a calm and compassionate approach to animal care. Together, Lauren and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and needs so we can make them feel settled and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, sticking to a familiar routine or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, we always adapt our care to suit them. We’re especially understanding with young pets who are still learning, as well as older pets who may need a softer, more attentive approach. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I run my own business, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my time around the pets I’m caring for. This means I’m able to offer visits, walks, and sitting at times that work best for each pet and their owner. My partner Lauren also helps with sitting and works remotely, so together we’re able to be really flexible and make sure pets get plenty of care, company, and attention throughout the day. We love creating a calm, caring environment and tailoring our service to suit each pet’s individual routine and needs. We offer pet sitting in the pet’s own home, as we find this is where they feel most comfortable, settled, and secure. Staying in their familiar surroundings helps keep their routine as normal as possible and can make the whole experience much less stressful for them. We always take the time to get to know each pet’s usual routine, from feeding and walks to playtime, rest, and any little habits that help them feel at ease. Our aim is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of attention, reassurance, and love.

About: We’ve both been around dogs our entire lives and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Ryan grew up with a Husky and a Border Collie, giving him hands-on experience with energetic, intelligent dogs that require plenty of exercise, training, and attention. Over the years, he’s also spent time around many other breeds and is comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. Esmeralda has also grown up with dogs and currently cares for her 8-year-old Chow Chow, giving her ongoing experience with daily routines, grooming, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. We also leave our Chow Chow with sitters when we’re away, so we understand the process from a dog owner’s perspective and know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. Together, we’re confident caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. We know how important it is to keep your dog happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away, and we’ll treat them with the same lovec and care we’d give our own pets. Pets fit naturally into our daily routine, and someone is always home to give them the attention and care they deserve. Ryan is self-employed, which gives him the flexibility to work around the dogs’ needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to their usual routine. Esmeralda is a stay-at-home parent to our 6-year-old, so apart from the school run during the week and football activities at weekends, she’s at home throughout the day. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will enjoy plenty of companionship, exercise, toilet breaks, and affection. We understand how important it is for dogs to feel settled and cared for, so we’ll make sure they receive lots of love and attention while they’re with us. Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, secure, and loving home where pets are treated like part of the family. We have a secure, fenced garden in a quiet estate with only six houses, giving a safe and peaceful environment for dogs to relax and play. We’re also very lucky to have a park just 10 seconds away, which makes daily walks and exercise easy, fun, and consistent. We also have our own dog, Dita, our friendly 8-year-old Chow Chow, who is calm, well-behaved, and used to having other dogs around. This helps create a relaxed and social home environment for visiting dogs. Our home is a safe, family-friendly environment where dogs are supervised throughout the day. We always take care to follow each dog’s individual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walking, medication, and comfort needs. We believe trust is built through communication, so we’re always happy to send updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your dog is getting on while you’re away. With Ryan’s flexible self-employed schedule and Esmeralda being home for most of the day, your dog will have consistent supervision, companionship, and care in a relaxed home environment.

About: Hi, I’m Jordan, a passionate and reliable pet sitter with extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My journey as a pet sitter began through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve looked after a wide variety of dogs (and other animals) across the UK and internationally. I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and needs, and I take pride in providing loving, attentive care that helps your dog feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I offer in-home dog sitting, which means your pet can stay in their familiar environment, stick to their routine, and enjoy plenty of companionship and affection. I’m calm, observant, and confident in handling everything from energetic pups to more senior dogs who just want a cuddle and a slow stroll. I do not currently offer boarding in my own home, and I’m happy to discuss any specific requirements – including vaccination status and medical needs – during our initial chat. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I am happy send the link to my TrustedHouseSitters profile via message, Rover will not let me post it here. I work from home so am completely flexible in my routine and therefore am available every day of the week. I need to keep one eye on my work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and early afternoons, but I am flexible and never have to be in a meeting, so I will always be available. I can work remotely so I also do not need to be at home for this. My partner and I have completed over 50 five-star sits through TrustedHousesitters. We always treat homeowners’ pets and homes with the utmost respect, creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. We follow routines closely, give plenty of attention, and stay mindful of each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s medication, quiet companionship, or energetic playtime. We also keep the home clean, tidy, and secure at all times, treating it as if it were our own. Over the years, we’ve made many wonderful two-legged and four-legged friends, and we’re proud to be sitters that both pets and people can trust. I am happy send the link to my TrustedHouseSitters profile via message, Rover will not let me post it here.

About: I have owned family pets since i was a child and have always been trusted to take care of them. My family travel often and i have always been the first to offer to pet sit their animals ranging from only a few hours to a week. I am confident in walking dogs not matter the size and can bathe and feed when needed. I am currently working part time so i have plenty of free time to do things. I have a dog of my own who i walk daily in my local woods or around the village. My dog is a very energetic pup. He gets walked twice daily and has free roam of my garden when he wants to play. The garden is fully fenced off so no escaping. I can handle dogs, no matter the size and age, with care. I can also crate them when needed.

About: I am a compassionate, lifetime dog lover with extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. Having recently cared for my own rescue dog until she passed at age 13, I am deeply experienced in managing complex care needs—including mobility challenges, incontinence, and daily medication routines for senior pets. I understand how much gentle patience and attentive care rescue dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. My Experience & Skills = Professional Sitting: Previous experience as a professional nanny looking after family pets alongside children, as well as paid standalone pet sitting. All Sizes & Handling: Comfortable handling both small breeds and big, strong dogs who pull or walk rough on a leash. Flexible Schedule: I work remotely, meaning I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the day to keep your pets company, stick to strict feeding schedules, and give them the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, firm handling on walks, or gentle senior care, I treat every dog with the same level of love and devotion as I treated my own. I miss her ever so much and would like somewhere to put some of that love and dedication now. I work remotely on my laptop with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to easily fit pet care around my day. Because I can work from anywhere with Wi-Fi, I can stay at your home for house sitting without disturbing your pet's normal routine. I’m available for daytime drop-in visits, mid-day walks, and overnight stays, with complete freedom to give your pets frequent attention, play, and scheduled check-ins throughout the day. My priority is keeping your pets comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I treat every client's home with absolute respect, keeping it clean, secure, and quiet and have extensive experience doing this from my many years as a private nanny. I strictly follow your safety rules—whether that's double-checking gates and doors, managing leash safety during walks, adhering to precise feeding and medication instructions, or keeping a close eye on open windows for cats. Living alone and working remotely means I can provide focused, undivided attention and peace of mind while you're away.

I’m very happy after my nervous dog puppy Saber who suffers separation anxiety and is very attached to me was walked by Ellie this morning. He took to her straight away and went for a walk without a problem which to be honest I wasn’t to sure if he’d do. But I could tell he’d thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her so I’ll be booking her to walk Saber again. She offers an excellent service and I’d highly recommend her. 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in North East Derbyshire on Rover is £16.1 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,417 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across North East Derbyshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your North East Derbyshire. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in North East Derbyshire.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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.

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.
