About: I was a cat person until I started dating my now husband who took me on dates to Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary to volunteer to walk the dogs. It was there that I learned that dogs personalities were so different and vibrant! Shortly after moving in together we got our own dog, a cocker spaniel who we called Islay (said like Isla but spelt like the Scottish Island and whisky). I trained her from 8 weeks old, going to weekly classes, setting up agility courses at home, teaching her useless commands like flipping cushions over with her nose! We lost Islay in August 2025 at 12 years old. One day we will get another dog but I'm not quite ready yet and I am waiting to see what 2026 brings for my career. I decided to join Rover so that I could be close to animals again, I truly miss their company, and to provide local owners with a reliable and loving option for pet care. I work part-time hours and start later in the afternoon so I am home when most people are normally at work, which makes me perfect for a dog walker! I have a fenced garden and have many wonderful walks from my house including safe places to let dogs off the lead. I can drive to pet owners homes a couple of times a day to check up of the furry family members.
About: I have looked after dogs all my life , have had two springer spaniels and currently own a 4 year 8 month old golden retriever. I am retired and I’m normally at home all day and night. Unless walking my golden retriever Douglas. Your dog will be made very welcome at our home. I have an enclosed back garden , and plenty of local walks .My golden retriever would enjoy some more company on his walks too, he is a big softie and gets on well with other dogs.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I began by dog-sitting for my neighbours or family members, which eventually spread to many more people who had heard about me through word of mouth. 8 years on I am now a Student at Norwich University of the Arts, who is looking to take up her passion again whilst back home for the summer! I have experience with both cats and dogs and understand that every animal has its own set routine and boundaries. I am good at taking instructions and will take the best care of your lovely pet as possible! I have a part time job, mainly weekends, but I am always willing and able to fit my schedule to meet you and your pets needs! I follow the pets, and owners routine to the full extent. I am diligent to make sure that the animal is well taken care of and happy.
“Laura has dropped in to feed and attend to my cat for this past week. She’s reliable, kind and great with her regular updates. We experienced a heatwave whilst I was away and Laura offered extra suggestions to keep things safe and ticking over. Returned home and my cat is happy and delighted to see me! Thanks Laura. Definitely recommend her.”

I have experience with disabled and nervous dogs and cats in particular. Moved to a new area and looking for extra paws to care for. We are based in such a beautiful part of England with woodland walks and rivers on our doorstep for fun days out and walks that burn some energy. I can offer drop ins, dog walks, but adventure days are my favourite. Each one needs to work for the pet and what they like most. I can tailor these with the info you provide.

From a very young age I have been brought up around police and working dogs aswell as family pets. When I turned 22, I when im to business with my mum. We started a day care, holiday boarding and walking business. After 7 years my mum moved to Portugal. And I when to the horse world (always been in it).

About: I am currently studying at university in my final year, however i would love to help anyone struggling with dog care. I am available pretty much everyday! I love looking after my dogs called Rocky and Mia so I would love to help out anyone struggling with theirs who maybe have to work and need some help! I am an early riser and walk many miles daily. I love looking after any type of dogs and take good care of them as if they were my own ! I have a crate for my dog at home and look after my dogs well they are loved 🥰. I love walking so they would be on lots of walkies! My dogs would not be with me when i am looking after yours!
About: I have been surrounded by every kind of dog since a very young age. I have taken care of numerous family, neighbours and friends dogs which include plenty of walks, playtime and feeding. My family has rescued our current dog who was unfortunately abused and bred to fight, luckily we got a hold of her before anything untoward happened. This taught me to be incredibly patient and kind working with her to gain her trust and now she’s the most loving and caring dog you’d ever meet. This has made me incredibly aware that unfortunately not every dog is blessed with a great start in life and I can understand why some dogs may be more timid or anxious than others, which is why I’d love a little chat beforehand to get to know more about your dog so I can really try cater to them and provide a calm and reassuring presence for them! I currently work part-time, but my hours are super flexible so I am confident we would be able to come up with a suitable time/ day that accommodates everyone. At the back of the house is a medium sized garden that is fenced off, allowing for a safe and playful environment for your dog !

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Rossendale 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.

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 Rossendale 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. On Rover:

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 use the 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.
