“Lyndsey is nothing short of incredible. She didn’t just look after Dottie, she treated her like her own and cared for her exactly the way I would. She stayed at my house for around a week and took the time to truly listen to all of Dottie’s very specific, very her ways, handling everything with so much patience, love, and understanding. Dottie doesn’t like anyone, so coming home to find her genuinely bonded with Lyndsey, relaxed, happy, and completely herself honestly blew my mind. As an added bonus, Lyndsey left the house cleaner than when I left it, which just says everything about the level of care she gives. I trust her completely and will be using her loads this year, now that I know Dottie is in the absolute best hands possible. 🐾💖”

“Zoe was absolutely incredible as our house and cat sitter. She sent us so many videos and updates every single day, which we really appreciated- it made such a difference while we were away. She treated our home like her own, and we came back to it absolutely sparkling. It gave us total peace of mind knowing everything was being so well looked after. Most importantly, Percy and Merlin clearly adored her. You could tell from the videos that she’d taken the time to play with them, give them lots of cuddles, and really build a bond... they’d genuinely made a new friend! Zoe is such a warm, lovely person who truly cares. We couldn’t recommend her more - she’s the best person you could trust with your fur babies, and she made our holiday completely worry-free.”

“Evie looked after our dog Toby at our house for the bank holiday weekend and we felt completely at ease leaving him with her. She was so friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and clearly really cares about them. Toby was really well looked after, and we loved receiving the little updates and photos of him throughout the weekend. We’d definitely use Evie again and would highly recommend her. ❤️🐾”

About: Hi, I’m Amey ☺️ I absolutely love dogs and spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, giving them company or simply helping them feel safe and comfortable. I especially have a soft spot for nervous or sensitive dogs and understand that some need a little more patience and reassurance. I have experience caring for dogs and regularly spend time around rescue dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and temperaments. I’m calm, reliable and happy to follow any routines, boundaries or training your dog is used to. I’m mainly available on weekends and would love the opportunity to spend time with a lovely dog who enjoys walks, companionship and lots of fuss 🐶🐾 I work full-time within a primary school setting during the week, so I’m mainly available on weekends and during school holidays. I enjoy spending my free time around animals and love going on walks, giving pets company and helping them feel comfortable and settled while their owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, relaxed and secure in their usual environment. I’m calm, patient and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, boundaries and any specific needs they may have. I especially understand that some animals can be nervous or need a little extra reassurance and patience.
About: Hello. I'm Dan, 34 years old and a lot of free time giving me the opportunity to help you and your pets. I'm an avid animal lover of all types and would welcome all invitations to walk, watch over and treat your best friends as mine too. I like to stay active, keeping a regular walking distance everyday and would happily welcome company on those walks. Whether that be short routes around the neighbourhood or a much longer trek in the hopes of tiring them out by the end of the day. I am a licenced first aider with lots of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past with severe medical conditions and other special requirements. In those situations I'm well trained to remain calm under pressure and skilled at assisting your pet in times of need.

“Paris was absolutely amazing! I was given regular updates every day, I felt really relieved knowing Monty was being looked after so well, and I’d recommend Paris’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable and caring. Paris came to meet Monty before the sit and really took the time to understand his routine, and my home was immaculate when I came back. It was clear Monty had the time of his life while I was away! Thank you, Paris! :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Kay gave us all the information we needed. She met early to discuss & view the house. Bella was very comfortable with her. Kay took her out for a walk & sent a photo to us . That reassured us & made us relaxed for the evening. Bella was sitting on her knee when we returned ,so calm & happy.”

“I honestly cannot recommend Olivia highly enough This was the first time I had left my 12-year-old dog, so naturally I was a little nervous about him settling. From the moment Olivia met him via an initial meet and greet she completely put my mind at ease. She was absolutely wonderful with him. Olivia sent me regular updates, photos and little messages throughout his stay, which meant a lot to me and allowed me to relax knowing he was happy, safe and being so well looked after. It was obvious from everything she sent that he was having a lovely time. As if that wasn't enough, Olivia even left me a beautiful hand-drawn picture of my dog when I got home. Such a thoughtful and personal touch, and something I will genuinely treasure. I came home to a very happy, content and clearly well-loved dog, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Olivia went above and beyond and I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in leaving him with her again. Thank you so much, Olivia.”
“Gemma was the best sitter we could have hoped for! She is a lovely and caring person and was so nice with our dog, he can be awkward but she handled him superbly and managed to walk him better than we can! We would not hesitate to use her again in the future!”

“Sophie looked after Monty and Lily amazingly, they instantly took to her at the first meet and greet. Sophie was calm and gentle in her approach with them and was keen to hear all about them and their specific needs. It was the first time leaving Monty and Lily with a non family member therefore I was quite anxious, however Sophie put me at ease and was very understanding. I received photos and updates during my time away which helped massively. I would highly recommend d Sophie and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”


About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for my own cats. Alongside this, I have around 10 years of hands-on experience looking after dogs for extended periods, often for weeks at a time. I’m very comfortable with animals of all personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy providing them with a safe, happy, and loving environment while they’re in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m not currently working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m home most of the day, so I can maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide regular playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable and settled. I’m able to adapt my routine around each pet’s needs, whether that’s multiple walks for dogs, quiet companionship for cats, or sticking closely to specific care instructions. Because of my availability, I can offer a calm, attentive environment and won’t need to rush or leave pets alone for long periods. I provide attentive, reliable care whether pets are in my home or in their owner’s home. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can settle in comfortably, sticking closely to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest. I make sure they get plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection so they feel relaxed and at home. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding schedules, walks, litter or garden care, and any specific needs are met consistently. I also keep owners updated for peace of mind, so they know their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away.
About: I’ve had experience with my grandmother’s dog as a teenager and I have helped look after friends’ dogs as well.

I would love to take care of pets during my free time I can take cats and small dogs in my house and spend time with them . I love caring for them. I have a big enough back yard for them to run around and play in.

I absolutely love animals and caring for them is something I take great pride in. I am particularly well versed in looking after shy, senior and anxious pets - ensuring I take my time and build up trust is essential. I absolutely adore caring for pets and would love to share my passion with you. I work from home flexibly so I am available most days to care for your pets and to walk them / take them outdoors whenever they need. I live in a house with a gated garden and security is a priority for me. I am patient and caring with all furry friends, no matter their personality.

About: Experienced dog‑lover returning to Rover after some time away. I am currently in the process of moving home, I will only be accepting requests from previous owners and dogs. Pet First Aid trained and confident with a range of temperaments — your dog will be in safe, caring hands. I'm really lucky to work hybrid and flexibility 90% of my week.

About: I’ve been around dogs as long as I can remember. since recently moving out, I’ve really miss having them around, and rover is a great way for me to do something I genuinely enjoy. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and understand patience, routine, exercise, and giving each dog the attention they need. I work full time and live alone, so owning a dog isn’t the right choice for me right now, but that makes me even more excited to help care for other peoples pets. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I’ve always given the dogs in my own family. I work 3 days on and 3 days off. So i’m available full days on my days off. This means walks, play times, and check in’s. And since I don’t own any pets myself at the moment, your dog gets my full attention. I have grown up with dogs and regularly cared for my parents dogs for weeks at a time, making sure they are safe, happy, and sticking to their routines. My home has a safe and secure garden and is directly behind a large football field, woodland area and open fields. And as a police employee with a background check, owner can feel confident their pets are with someone responsible.
“We had the pleasure of having Tim come over to look after our puppy, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment he arrived, Tim was incredibly friendly and approachable. He took the time to listen to all the information we shared about our puppy's routine and needs, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the day, Tim kept in touch with us, providing regular updates and photos that reassured us our furry friend was in great hands. It was clear he genuinely cared about our puppy's well-being, and his attentiveness made a significant difference in our peace of mind while we weren’t there. . We highly recommend Tim to anyone in need of a pet sitter. His professionalism and warmth truly made the day enjoyable for both us and our little one. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future if he is happy to come back.”

I can't recommend Rachel enough, we had never used Rover or had a cat sitter before so we were a little nervous hiring someone to take care of our baby, But Rachel was so reassuring, calm and professional! We had a meet and greet before even booking her in so she could meet our cat and us to see if it was all a good fit and it was! When it came to cat sitting, she was very good at keeping us updated and with many pictures and videos and we got home to a very happy calm cat! Rachel is so respectful, professional, kind and genuinely lovely! She had so much experience with cats and dogs and has some veterinary knowledge too which is very handy! As I said at the beginning, I can't recommend her enough!

Chloe was a wonderful pet sitter for my dachshund, Bambi! She really got on with her and she seemed so happy from the photo updates I got throughout the day! It was my first time using a pet sitter and I’d definitely rebook with Chloe, as she went the extra mile throughout her time with Bambi.

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 Redcar 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 Redcar 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.
