“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. 🐾💖”
“Very happy with Zoe’s service. My rescue dog is very high needs, can be reactive and anxious, but he was very happy with Zoe and she was great with him. Lots of communication and happy photos/videos. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Zoe again!!”
“Alfie was amazing with Narla, kept us informed if how she was doing and even gave us some free dog food because we were running out... Would highly recommend. Narla was sad to see him leave which is unusual as it normally takes a while for her to get attached in such a way.”
About: I've grown up in a pet friendly house caring and looking after every type of animal, from cats, dogs, rodents and birds, any shape or size animal was welcomed in our house. I currently work part time as I'm a uni student so I have plenty of time to look after pets, even on days I work I have plenty of time to spare. I currently live in an apartment but with access to a shared garden and massive field. Plenty of walking opportunities for dogs and lots of attention for cats.
“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.”
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.
About: Hello 👋 I am Ruth, 34 and have a 9 year old mix Pip. She is a rescue and through endless love and training she has blossomed over the years from a nervous, shy, quivering pup into a friendly, confident and loving dog. She is in excellent health for her age and loves nothing more than to zoom around a field! I have trained 3 of my own dogs and believe in a loving, positive approach with sensible boundaries. I am extremely active so your dog will get plenty of exercise! I have experience with dogs from 12 weeks to senior. I am self-employed so have plenty of time to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am very flexible and can work around you and your furry friend as I can't work from anywhere at any time. I have my lovely Pip to keep your pet company and lots of play and socialisation. I can walk, spend time with or care for your pet in your home. I am clean, tidy, respectful and trustworthy. I am keen on animal health and feeding a good diet and plenty of exercise, with constant access to water and regular toilet breaks.
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’m Sian and I’m my late 30s and I work from home. In 2024, I sadly lost my beloved 11-year-old German Shepherd and am now looking for dogs to share in some daily walks and enjoy some doggy companionship. I have plenty of experience with dogs, as they’ve always been a part of my family, and have had 2 rescue dogs of my own, so have lots of experience with anxious pooches. Don’t have any children, so I have plenty of time and attention to give. I love hiking and would be thrilled to have a dog join me on outdoor adventures! I work from home all week so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your animals. Happy to have them overnight too! I have a big house and garden, so plenty of space to run around and play. Your dog will love running around or chilling at my house.
“Andrew was great, he looked after our dogs in our home for a week. The dogs really took to him quickly and enjoyed having him around. One of dogs took poorly and needed veterinary attention quickly. Andrew ensured this happened and kept us up to date with his progress in the days that followed which was really reassuring. We would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone wanting their dogs cared for in their own home.”
“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.”
“Gheorghe was so respectful of our home whilst staying over and watching our two dogs. I got regular updates, pictures and it’s clear my dogs were very well cared for. I’ll definitely book with Gheorghe again!”
About: I have over 5 years experience looking after my family dogs, Hugo and Finn, as well as looking after family friend’s dogs, cats and bunnies when they are on holiday. 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.
“Abbie was amazing! Came over and met Chester beforehand and wasn’t fazed! She took amazing care and went above and beyond with him. Left the house in perfect condition. I’d definitely recommend Abbie and we will 100% be in touch again. Thank you :)”
About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs for over 4 years now, dogsitting, walks and vet appointments, and I feel confident to look after your pets whenever you need. I am a university student with only two days at uni with most of my time being spent at home studying on my own at home which makes my schedule very flexible. My flat has restricted windows, and there is a garden/parking which is walled in the back of my apartment block where I can take your pets for fun time on the grass.
“Tim was punctual, communicated clearly and obviously understands dogs. Our dog appeared to have a great day with Tim. We returned after a wedding to find Tim asleep on the couch with Roxy asleep on him.”
About: Experienced dog‑lover returning to Rover after some time away. I previously cared for a Spaniel of my own and have years of hands‑on experience with energetic, affectionate breeds. I offer a calm home, long walks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m reliable, communicative and always send regular updates so you know exactly how your dog is doing. 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. I am more than happy to work with parents to ensure that any alone time is minimal and that their dog has the best stay possible. I do have a small campervan which I like to take to the Lakes should owners want their pup to join me on Wainwright adventures and long walks out. I'm are quite happy for visiting pups to sleep wherever they like but will always follow the instructions of their parents! I’d like to think that you are getting a quality service where your dog is treated as my own and will be taken on quality nature walks whilst in my care.
“Kelly stayed overnight while we attended my daughter’s wedding, I was really scared letting a stranger stay overnight but after meeting her ,Kelly was lovely and we had no hesitation letting her stay in our home overnight to look after my fur babies. She kept us updated how to dogs were and it put me at ease, When we arrived home our dogs where happy and content like they had fun while we were away. I would recommend kelly to anyone and would definitely use her again.”

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!
Lyndsey took care of my Frodo for a night, we needed to be out early and Lyndsey was very accommodating even though it was a Sunday morning. It’s clear Lyndsey loves dogs all shapes and sizes, she provided regular updates and Lots of photos and kept our little dictator busy not only that but she kept our house safe and tidy. We will 100% use Lyndsey going forward.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Redcar on Rover is £47.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
