About: I am an experienced dog sitter, and over the past year, I have travelled all around the UK to look after people's pets in their homes, which has been a great success. I enjoy taking care of other people's pets and making sure they feel secure and loved, and find it very rewarding. I have experience in looking after dogs of all different breeds and temperaments, including lively puppies and shy, nervous dogs. I also have experience in administering medication. I also work from home, and this allows me the flexibility to keep the same routine that you have for your dog. I am a freelance journalist, and I work from home. I have a lot of free time to dedicate to looking after your pets and making sure they have the time and attention they need whilst you are away. I am a very tidy person and will adapt to the rules of the house with regard to pet care. I will treat your home as if it were my own.
“I contacted Jen after my usual walker cancelled. She quickly arranged a meet and greet and happily took on the job of looking after my dog Karma. I would definitely recommend Jen as she provides lots of feedback and reassurance that your dog is ok. I will definitely be using Jens services again.”
About: I have a T-level in Anima Management Behaviour and Welfare as well as having a years worth of experience of working at a dog groomers who did both cats and dogs I have a pretty much free schedule apart from Mondays and Tuesdays as I’m busy with school but I’ll be free to look after your animal most times of the day so they can have as much company as they need I would always ask for any instructions that the owner may have more e.g., feeding times and medication needed and follow that to my full ability as well as giving your animal as much attention as they need
About: I’m Vicky, I’m 37, and I live in Marske. One of my favourite things about living here is all the dogs I get to meet on the beach! I work from home most of the time, and in my spare time I enjoy walking, reading, yoga, and sea swimming. I can offer dog walks, or looking after dogs at my home. I’ve looked after lots of dogs before, from a miniature dachshund to a German pointer! I also have experience of caring for a dog post surgery (IVDD). I am respectful of owners wishes e.g correct nutrition, keeping on lead, training etc. and can offer lots of love and cuddles! I work mostly from home so would suit a dog who doesn’t need constant attention (if looking after them at home through the week). On lunchtimes, evenings, and weekends, I can offer dog walks and overnight home stays. I have a completely secured fenced off large back yard and I live in a quiet street. Dogs are allowed wherever they feel comfortable in my home, including on the sofa! I have a baby gate between the kitchen and living room. I live a 5 minute walk from the beach and a large field - perfect for dog walks.

About: I have a strong passion for animals and hold a Diploma in Animal Care, giving me a good understanding of animal welfare, behaviour, health and general care needs. I am confident caring for a variety of pets and understand the importance of providing them with a safe, comfortable and loving environment. My skills include feeding, exercising, grooming, maintaining hygiene, monitoring behaviour and recognising when an animal may be unwell or require additional attention. I am responsible, reliable, patient and attentive, and I take pride in providing personalised care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. I understand that pets are part of the family and always aim to provide them with the same care, attention and affection they would receive at home. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside university. I attend university on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, finishing at 5pm, so I am available for evening visits and walks on these days. I am fully available on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, giving me plenty of flexibility for longer visits, walks, overnight stays and regular pet-sitting bookings. I am reliable and organised and will always make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise and care they need. I provide caring, reliable and personalised care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In the owner’s home, I follow their usual feeding, walking, medication and exercise routines while giving their pets plenty of attention and reassurance. I keep their environment clean and safe and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. With my Diploma in Animal Care, I have a good understanding of animal welfare and behaviour, and I always treat every pet with patience, kindness and respect.
About: My experience with dogs started when I was born. The family dog was one year old so I have grown up with dogs which installed a deep and meaningful bond with dogs. I have fostered many rescues from the UK and Romania, as well as adopting. I love all dogs and care for them as if they were my own and have owned and have experience with puppies, reactive dogs and seniors so have experience with a wide variety of different breeds and ages. I currently work part time from home, so will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, walk them and look after any of their needs from brushing to tear stains and feeding and/or medication. I will still be able to take your dog all day as I can work around their needs. I have a 6ft fenced garden and 3 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company if they want. Dogs have free roam of the house and garden and are welcome to sit on the sofas or beds, but am also able to provide crates/beds if needed for your pet. I am a short drive away from Marske beach and a wonderful wood so your dog will get a nice variety of walks twice a day depending on time spent at my home. Water bowls are placed in every room so they will have plenty of access to water at all times and will never be left more than 3 hours at a time if boarding overnight. At weekends our dogs are our passion so all days out are worked around dog friendly walks and cafes/pubs if needed. Your baby will also be able to enjoy weekend adventures if you would be happy for us to take them along.
About: I have had many pets over the years. From a donkey, goats, chickens and of course dogs! I stumbled across offering care for other people's dogs by accident really, but it works really well. I care for our extended family and friends dogs in my home while they go away on holiday. I lost my gorgeous dog four years ago and miss him terribly. I decided this would be a great way to enjoy having the company of a dog again. My dog was a whippet so I know what a good walk looks like! I am are registered on trusted house sitters and have five star reviews from all my sits. I have no dogs myself so your dog would be the only dog to be cared for whilst with me. You can go away knowing your dog would be having a lovely holiday with me while you are having your own holiday. They fit in as my pet for the duration of their stay. If I stayed in your home you could rest assured I know how to look after a home. I have been married for over 40 years. I have an acre garden so grass cutting does not faze me either.
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: 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 have had experience living with dogs my whole life, I love being around all animals. I currently walk a mixture of dogs including elderly and puppy’s. I work a full time job 3 x shifts a week. On my days off I would love to spend some time walking dogs. Availability will range every week. I have a fenced garden. I have a 9 month old friendly puppy. I live close to lots of great places for walks including the beach and the woods.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Redcar
Rachel was fantastic! Our cat is a nervous cat who hid for the first few days but it’s obvious Rachel is great with cats as eventually Mila was stood on her lap, we had videos of her purring and interacting. Rachel was always prompt and communicative and nothing was too much of an ask, she is clearly someone who is very knowledgeable about cats. When we got home Mila was comfortable and seemed happy, the litter had been cleaned and it was clear she’d been very well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone and we are sad to be moving away as we won’t be able to use her again in future! Thank you so much!

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!

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.
