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
“Sharon was amazing! From the meet and greet we knew they would get along, she made sure he ate, played and had fusses on her drop in visits! The messages were super detailed which were amazing, let us know he was in good hands! Sharon is doing another 2 drop ins in 2 weeks and I know Rufus will be excited to see her and will definitely be using in future 😊 Thank you!!”

“Lucy was amazing dropping in on Rufus! I knew they'd get along after the meet and greet, they got along great, she kept me updated and provided photos, even put a light on for him 😊 Will deffo ask Lucy to drop in again in future 😊 Thank you!!”

About: Hi, I am Natalie I have a little Tibetan Spaniel called Bella, she is a massive part of our family and there is never a dull moment when she is around. She turns the incredible age of 18 in November! She does go to my parents as she is a family pet so this isn't a issue if dogs dont get on she will go to my mum and dad's house. I have a great experience with animals, often rescuing wild injured animals and also being a voulenteer for The Guide Dogs in chesterfield. I have owned hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies and dogs. I love hiking, yoga and swimming. I also have a big passion for travel our recent trip being America and visiting Yellowstone and Montana seeing the beautiful grizzly bears with their babies. Your beautiful fur babies are in the best hands with me and will get treat like part of the family ! I also do a lot of hiking so am happy to take the dogs out with me too if wanted. I am currently working part time so will have plenty of time for your animals, I like to board mostly over the weekend but this is not always an absolute must. I have a lovely fenced secure garden for your pooches to play in. We also have stairgates top and bottom, our dog is elderly so we had these put in place to reduce the risks of falls. A big open plan kitchen and dinner for the animals to have lots of space in.
“We have booked Katie for the first time, on a last minute situation. She was replying very quickly and we got sorted in about 30mins. Our cats loved her and we got loads of photos showing that they eat, play and getting fuss. Katie is very easygoing and friendly and we’re happy we found her! Thank you Katie and probably see you next time!💜”

“Meghan was amazing! She looked after our little furball and was absolutely brilliant. Very punctual and took such good care of our cat Leo, very profesional but also really down to earth. Would recommend to anyone and we would go back to her again and again.”


About: I have experience of looking after 7 golden retrievers at one time. I love walking and have a clean and safe home which is dog friendly. I am not currently working so have lots of free time to look after your pets. I am not available some weekends but am free most days in the week and every other weekend. I am willing to administer any care needed for your dog. I am willing to look after your pet overnight as well as in the day
About: Hi! 😊 I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including rescue dogs with complex needs. My partner and I share a calm, loving home with our own dog, Marnie, a medium-sized rescue who we adore. We spend most of our time with her and love including the dogs we care for in our everyday activities—whether that’s exploring new walking routes, relaxing at home, or discovering fun dog-friendly spots. I understand that every dog is unique, and were committed to providing care that’s tailored specifically to your dog’s needs and routines. If your dog is crate trained, we have a clean, comfortable crate available. If they’re used to being on furniture, they’re welcome to make themselves at home here. Sleeping arrangements are flexible too—dogs are welcome to sleep upstairs with us, downstairs, or in their crate depending on what works best for them (and you). I will work around you as best as I can, please just let me know what your dog needs so we can tailor our day to them. I take into account the needs of your dog whether that be that they want to be closer to me or they want space. I am happy to let them on furniture or if you would rather they don’t I will go by your wants and needs. My dog is part of the family and sticks by my side. We have a completely enclosed back garden for toilet breaks & play. We have a front drive but don’t let dogs onto it if not on a leash. I live in a quiet and calm area with a close by park for lots of walks. It is just me & my partner in the house so very little noise. Snacks & cuddles are frequent!
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.
“Emily is a great person to take care of your cats. She was extremely helpful with them and kept us well updated on how they are doing including videos. Fantastic communication and approach to cats. We will be booking again soon!”

About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for over 5 years, building up plenty of hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I have a real passion for animals and I’m a proud cat owner myself. I love spending time outdoors, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks, including longer, high-energy outings. At weekends, you’ll often find me out on hikes, which makes me a great match for active dogs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation. I take my friends spaniel quite often on long walks, have him for sleepovers and I love building a bond with dogs and fitting them into my routine. I’m reliable, caring, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but I’m looking for something else in my life where I can help out and spend time with dogs. I’ll do my best to be available if you need me at specific times, though I do work from 8:30 to 5, however I do have the option to work from home if needed. I live in a semi-detached terrace house with a fenced garden. The stairs are quite steep, so any dog allowed upstairs would need to be able to manage them. There are plenty of nearby walking routes, and I also have a cat who is comfortable with dogs once she gets to know them - so a dog with prior experience around cats would be ideal.

About: I've owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, I was given my first dog at the tender age of 4, and I've also had a couple of cats along the way, one being a large breed, (Maine Coon) I believe all animals deserve to be treated with love and respect., I can administer oral medication as required by the owner., I myself have just recently lost my 2 German shepherds aged 10yrs, whom I adored, my boy sadly went over the rainbow18 mth ago, my girl sadly croosed 3mths ago,, I miss them terribly. I am used to administering ear drops to a big doggy who doesn't like his ears being messed with.as well as oral medications,. also I can massage leg muscles,( self taught) I'm can't bring myself to own any more pets, so a friend told me to try this site out, I work part-time week days, 9am -4pm Monday- Friday, so I'm available Fridays after 4pm till 8.30am Mondays, and also when on I'm holiday myself, I have a large secure back garden, your pets will be treated as my own, they are allowed on my settee, and on my bed,, I don't use crates, so if that's your preference, you would need to supply one,
About: My husband and I are a team. We’ve had pets all our lives, dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals. We’ve rescued dogs and cats and had large strong dogs including a Husky and Mastiff X. We've had dogs from puppies to 16 years old. We have looked after high maintenance dogs and reactive dogs. Ray also has Marine and Tropical fish and offers holiday care. With a lifetime of knowledge and experience, he's the man for the job. I am self employed and work on a part time basis, I drive and am happy to travel and work at times that suit you. I will care for your loved pets following your wishes and their needs. I would ensure their needs are being met. Years of experience and time available will allow me to be the most caring of sitter, walker, watcher or whatever you need.
“I have always used kennels when going away but thought I would try home visits and walking service instead to see how it goes. We'll I am very impressed after booking Athina services she came to our house prior to discuss things further and to meet Milo. This put us at ease straightaway and gave us peace of mind. Athina was always on time and would keep you updated with feed/water and toilet times during the visit. When booking Athina would keep in touch to make sure everything was in place and on schedule before the visits, great service and will be using her services again.”

“Katie was extremely professional, polite and very loving towards my two cats. It was the first time I had left them alone at home, but I need not have worried, as Katie took really good care of them. She made sure they always had enough food and water and that the cat lit tray was kept clean. She also left my house extremely clean and tidy. Communication with Katie was excellent. I can wholeheartedly recommend Katie and will be using her again in the near future.”

Thank you so so much.

Sharon was amazing! She really took her time and gave our cat, Boris a great fuss and made sure he was so well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend.

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 North East Derbyshire 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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
