“Jazmine looked after our cats for a few days over Christmas. She was lovely and felt she was trust worthy. She did some daily drop ins and was happy to follow the instructions I left for feeding and clearing the litter tray. We got daily photos which gave us some reassurance our cats were doing okay. Our house was as clean and tidy as we left it which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Jazmine and we will be using her again when we go away in the future.”
“Laura provides a fantastic service, and judging from the photos she sent, our cat felt comfortable and content whilst we were away. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Mark was a fabulous sitter for our Springer Spaniel, Seth! Seth can be nervous around new people so Mark very kindly offered to come to visit Seth before the sitting. We will definitely use Mark again.”
“Had a great experience with Florence looking after our two cats she gave great updates and provided some pictures which was lovely to see. She did everything we asked in regards to feeding and litter cleaning each visit and was lovely with our cats giving them some love and attention as well as some treats with each visit which they loved and she made sure all was okay. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Louis did a fantastic job with our cat Pumpkin. He was responsive throughout the process and provided daily updates that were relevant and helpful. Louis was also flexible and was happy to do an extra visit when we were worried that Pumpkin was not eating enough. Furthermore, when Pumpkin made a mess, Louis took the initiative to clean it up as well. Louis arrived on time and notified us of any delays promptly. Louis fed and played with Pumpkin and also cleaned his litter well. We also felt that Louis was very comfortable and affectionate towards Pumpkin and it seems Pumpkin also took a liking to him! We will definitely book Louis again to look after our cat!”
About: Dog lover doesn’t even cut it 🐕 My Grandma spent her life rehoming dogs of all kinds to the point of 20+ at any given time and my Mum is also a dog groomer with 20+ years of experience who currently has 8 dogs of her own. I’ve lived with, taken care of and owned dozens of different breeds throughout my life. So you could say that being a dog lover is in my blood! I regularly house sit for friends and family members, including the CEO of my business who owns a large farm with 3 dogs, 5 cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and cows. She, like me, loves nothing more than her animals and puts her trust in me taking care of her beloved furry family members. If I am not free, she doesn’t go away, she doesn’t trust anyone else. Take a look through my gallery of photos and I hope my love and passion for dogs will be glaringly obvious! Your pets wellbeing is my upmost priority and I really hope to meet some of your furry family members very soon. I have a completely flexible full-time remote career on a working from home basis. I also have a full UK drivers license that I’ve had for over 12 years. I purchased my first home a couple of years ago. It is a semi-detached house with stairs and a fenced garden, we also keep the garden gate locked 90% of the time unless it’s bin day. I work from home so I am around all day to make sure they are well looked after and provide plenty of cuddles.
About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide reliable, compassionate and personalised care for both dogs and cats.

I currently work full time however this is flexible with a large amount of working from home, this provides me with the necessary time to facilitate looking after your pet. Weekends and evenings are free and this ensures there is ample time for dog walking or pet sitting I have a large fenced off garden with plenty of space, the house is spacious and round the corner there is a large field and woodland area for walks
“Megan was amazing with my new puppy during her puppy drop in visits. She sat with her and implemented the same commands that I told her I had been using . She made sure the house was secured upon exiting and my puppy would forward to her coming in. Thanks again Megan”
“Rachel was very easy to communicate with, and Maple was evidently having a great time with Rachel. Only issue would be the worry that your pet will like Rachel more than yourself! Highly recommend”

About: I have over two years of experience caring for animals, including both big and small dogs as well as cats. I grew up raising an Alsatian and a Belgian Malinois and so I am confident, caring and patient around animals, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and following each pet’s individual routine. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. My pet will fit naturally into my routine alongside work as an Actor, residential care practitioner, caring for children and elderly, with daily care, attention and love. I care for pets in their own home by following their routine, providing food, walks, playtime and companionship, while keeping their environment clean, safe and comfortable.
About: I love cats and my landlady has a black cat called Thomas, I am responsible for looking after him if the landlady is away, feeding him, giving him love and attention and so on. In the past I have done dog sitting for friends for weeks at a time and it is just so great for me to go out on big long walks in nature every day with a dog. I am definitely an animal person :) I am currently looking for part time work, I am therefore completely free at the moment and will still be very free even when working as it will just be a few hours per week. I am very engaging with pets, I make sure to feed them the correct food and correct amount, I know alot of people can overfeed pets and this is something I make sure not to do. If they have a set routine of meal times, play time, walking times, I am happy to stick with that routine. I am very clean and tidy, I cook alot and I always clean up. I am pretty quiet and chilled, a good person to be around your pets.
About: We have taken care of dogs and cats since we were both in our teens, we are both animal lovers and will treat your animals like they are our own. We have have both owned a number of different breeds from small dogs such as Jack Russell’s to big dogs like huskies and we have a lot of experience with staffy’s. We are both trained in basic doggie first aid and CPR as well as fully insured ⛑️ so you can rest assured your dogs are in safe hands. Pet sitting and walking is my full time job and my partner works part time so we are both available most of the time. We don’t walk on Sundays. I have a back tat that has high walls and a high fence. We have the best of both World as we do not currently live together so we can accommodate dogs that do not get on with other dogs as Ella can stay either of our homes. We are fully insured for Dog walking and pet sitting and we can provide the proof of this.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teen ager. I have house trained several along the way, and have experience with older dogs as well. I am retired after 52 years in financial services. My day is comprised of trips to the gym and the markets as I am the chef of the house. Until recently this included looking after Alice, our beloved Boston Terrier who passed away a few months ago at 15. I enjoy all aspects of dog care, and have had several dogs over the years including a Chow and a Shepard/Husky cross you I’m quite comfortable with any size dog. I live in a large house with a fenced back yard. I’m a short walk from several prime dog walking areas here in Bolton, and I also drive if a chosen location for your dog is required.
“Rosita is amazing. She can handle my anxious dog and she knows how to read my dog's body language. Even though my dog is quite elusive, she managed her well and she gave us updates for the visits.”
About: We’re a caring and reliable couple who have both grown up with dogs and cats our entire lives. Looking after animals has always been a natural part of our daily routine, from feeding and walking to playtime and giving them plenty of attention and affection. We live in a quiet town in a spacious 3-bedroom home, providing a calm and comfortable environment for pets to relax in. We understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and we always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s energetic walks, keeping up with routines, or simply giving extra cuddles, we treat every pet as if they were our own. You can count on us to provide a loving, safe, and attentive experience while you're away.
About: Having grown up with a dog and now have a cat, I have cared for many other dogs both professionally and in my family I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to older and much larger dogs. I have been trusted to walk, play with and bathe dogs and have experience with dogs with challenging behaviours. I am a freelance photographer so I will have a lot of days free in-between shoots or weddings, I can be available most days and nights provided I have enough notice. I can come to your home where your pet is more comfortable and play with them, let them out and take them for walks around an area that they know. I will always be vigilant and ensure your dogs and others safety at all times.

Kateryna was brilliant, I contacted her at short notice,she came to meet Ralph who instantly liked her. I could tell how much she liked cats and had plenty of experience She provided an excellent service, we are extremely grateful to her and would definitely use her in the future, I would highly recommend her, she is professional and a very warm person, Thank you so much :) x
This is the second time we have used Jazmine and we were really happy with her service. We got daily photos and found her responses to any messages were really prompt. She left all the cat areas lovely and clean for when we got back from holiday (litter tray and eating area). It’s lovely to have someone competent and trust worthy so when you go away you know your animals are well taken care of. We have already booked her for our next trip away :)

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 Ribble Valley 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.
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.
