About: Hello! I am a Nottingham Trent University student raising money for Meningitis Research Foundation. I grew up with dogs (Jack Russell terriers, a golden lab, and a German pointer mix) and I was a dog walker for about a year many years ago. I am also a runner, so if you would prefer I take your dogs for a run, just let me know! I’d love to get to know you and your doggies :) I currently work part time at an art studio and am studying for my masters in fine arts at NTU, but my schooling is quite flexible and my work is less than 20 hours per week so I am able to find time around these responsibilities. For walks I care for the dogs by allowing them to stop and explore when they want and by bringing water and a small bowl for if they get thirsty on a longer walk. I also will take the dogs for a run if that is something you would like. For dog sitting I will let the pups out every couple hours or when they want, I will feed them when needed, fix them with clean water, take them for a walk at least once per day, and of course play with them and give them lots of pets

Kerenza was a great help taking care of our cat Sushi when we had to be away for the day while she was recovering from surgery with a feeding tube and medication. Her vet training meant that we could depend on her to administer the food and medication properly. It took so much of the stress out of having to be away for the day. I really appreciated Kerenza’s knowledge, reliability, and caring approach and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!

About: I've grown up with dogs all my life, I've never had a year go by without them! I've had experience with elderly dogs I've volunteered walking rescue dogs for 3+ years, and helped out with walking and watching elderly people's dogs and house sat with cats. I've just recently graduated from university and am currently looking for a work-from-home job in the comics industry, I am fully at home and present and will be able to give your beloved family members the attention they deserve! I have a fenced garden and no pets living here, although there is a dog in the family who visits, upon request. I can separate your pets if they need space as our house is nice and big, there's plenty of room for them to stretch their legs, and a park in close proximity.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoyed caring for them. While I’m still building my experience, I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter. I come from a background in sociology and counselling, which has helped me become patient and attentive to different needs and personalities. I also speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and I’m happy to communicate in whichever language you prefer. I’d really appreciate the opportunity to look after your dog. I will do my best to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, and I can adjust my routine to suit your pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow your usual schedule as closely as possible to keep your pet comfortable and settled. I always prioritise a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s needs and follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, and any specific care requirements. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure, and I supervise pets closely during my time with them. I also give regular updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and I currently have two cats of my own. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I offer drop-in visits, house sitting and day care in your own home. I’m happy caring for cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets and friendly dogs, and I can follow your pet’s routine, including giving oral medication if you show me how. I know every pet is different, so whether yours wants lots of fuss or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. Because I work from home, I’m able to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine. I can offer morning, afternoon or evening visits, as well as house sitting and day care in your home. Weekend availability is usually not a problem either, so I’m happy to help whenever I can. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I’ll always respect their routine and your home. Before every booking, I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, favourite activities and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’ll keep you updated throughout my visits, so you’ll never have to wonder how they’re doing.

About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from pets boarding in a different room I am currently off work until the middle of July, so I will be at home most of the day. This means I can provide regular walks, plenty of playtime, toilet breaks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date with messages and pictures

I can throughly recommend Yeru for looking after your pet. She came and spent an hour of her own time, to meet Mopsy (he doesn’t like strangers) and see if they would get along. He loved her as soon as they met, so I knew he would be okay. I went through everything Yeru needed to know about his care, and felt confident she would be okay with him. She did everything I asked of her, was clean and tidy and respectful of my property. On many days, she also spent longer with him then the 30 minutes that Rover allowed, I can only guess they were having fun together, and lost track of time. From the video and pictures she sent me on a twice daily basis, I could see my dog was happy and well. She’s polite and punctual and a really nice person, and I really hope she will be available the next time I need a pet sitter.

About: I have experience with rescue dogs and building bonds and trust. I know the importance of understanding what your dog needs no matter the temperament. I enjoy training new tricks and taking them for adventures. I believe I can offer your dog fun and make their stays like a holiday I work from home most of the week. My mornings start by walking maple first thing in the morning, on my lunch break and after work. With plenty of playtime in between. I am very lucky to be living with a veterinary nurse who is always on hand to help where needed. I am very flexible to your dogs routine and will aim to mirror this. Maple is very adaptable and loves having other dogs as company. Most days I aim to take them out together. If your dog prefers walks alone then this is available

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and caring for them has been a natural part of my life. I previously owned a Golden Retriever, which taught me so much about patience, routine, and the joy that comes from having a furry companion. Since then, I’ve also provided private pet‑sitting services for friends, giving me hands‑on experience with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m a friendly, caring sitter who treats every pet like my own. I pay close attention to detail — from keeping harmful or sharp objects safely out of reach to making sure pets stay on their regular diets. I never offer anything outside of what you’ve listed in their preferences, because their comfort and safety always come first. Your pet will feel right at home with me. Pets are welcome on the furniture, and my windows are high and out of reach, making the space safe and cozy. I live close to the canal, perfect for peaceful walks and fresh air. I’m more than happy to take dogs out in the early morning, during lunch breaks, and in the evening. I work a flexible hybrid job, which allows me to work from home when needed so your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I truly love animals, and I’d be more than happy to be trusted with your pet. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because my job is very flexible and allows me to work from home whenever needed. I typically work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, company, and supervision throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I’m only a 10‑minute walk from home, so I can pop back during my lunch break for check‑ins, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I’m also available for early‑morning and evening care, making it easy to keep your pet on a consistent and comforting routine. Whether I’m home full‑time or stepping out briefly, I make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well‑cared‑for in my flat. Their needs fit naturally into my day, and I genuinely enjoy having them around. When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and completely at home. I live in a cozy flat where pets are welcome on the furniture, so they can settle in comfortably. My windows are high up and out of reach, and I keep all harmful or sharp objects safely stored away to create a secure environment for curious pets. I follow each pet’s regular routine closely — especially their diet. I only feed what you’ve listed in their preferences to keep their stomachs happy and their routine consistent. I also live close to a peaceful canal, which is perfect for calm, enriching walks for dogs who enjoy exploring. Because my job is flexible and allows me to work from home whenever needed, I’m usually home on Wednesdays and Fridays, and I can adjust if a pet needs more company. Even on office days, I’m only a 10‑minute walk away, so I can easily come home for lunchtime check‑ins, cuddles, or playtime.

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting for 3 years now, on top of that I have always had pets and taken pride in looking after and training them :) I have a fairly open schedule, I am able to fit bookings around my studies. Send me a message about what you need and I will respond as quick as I can :) I am unfortunately unable to care for your pet in my own home due to the size, however I am able to pet sit in your home, I am trust worthy and can follow specific instructions on how to care for your pet

Donna has been amazing with my cat Pluto. We booked her last minute and I was very worried about leaving my cat with a stranger. However, during our meet-up she told me a little about what she did and she seemed very trustworthy. My cat, who usually runs away from strangers, looked like he was comfortable with her from the start, playing in front of her and letting her pat him in the end. She was also very friendly and a great listener, who listened to all of our requests and offered beyond them without even asking. Coming back from our holiday, we found a very confident and happy Pluto all thanks to Donna. Throughout the whole time we were away, I didn’t feel an ounce of worry (which I’ve always done everytime I’ve left him even for a night) because she always sent photo updates and information about how he is and what’s he done.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available whilst you work. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Nottingham pet parents with similar pet households.

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 Nottingham 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.

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.
