“Rebecca has been absolutely brilliant with Bella 🐈‍⬛. I can tell how quickly 🐈‍⬛ took to Rebecca by the updates and photos, which eased so much of the guilt of leaving her for the weekend. Couldn’t recommend Rebecca enough and will definitely be asking for help again in the future. ❤️😊🐈‍⬛”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, having grown up with our family Jack Russell. From the age of 17, I also began helping out with my mum’s dog walking business, which has given me valuable hands on experience caring for and walking dogs. I’ve also had a family cat for five years, so I have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of providing them with the right attention, affection and care. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. Whether it’s taking dogs for walks, playing with pets or keeping them company, I’m caring, patient and reliable. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pet feels loved and well looked after while you’re away. I’m happy to fit pet care around my weekly schedule and will always aim to be flexible where possible. I can arrange walks and visits in advance to suit both you and your pet, and I’ll communicate clearly about my availability to make sure your pet receives reliable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their individual needs, routines and personality so they feel safe and settled in my care. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I’ll respect your home and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking preferences and any specific care requirements. I’ll always make sure pets are supervised appropriately, kept secure on walks and given plenty of attention, affection and playtime. I’m reliable, responsible and caring, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel reassured that your pet is in safe hands.

About: I’ve grown up with a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, chickens, fish etc. and enjoy spending time with all animals. We currently have a cat called Murphy who is very independent and enjoys lots of time outdoors. We offer a loving home with plenty of social interaction for your dog. Care will be tailored to your individual pet and their specific needs and routines. (Licenced by Rushcliffe Borough Council for Home Boarding of Dogs AWL-0090) I’m a mum of 3 who is currently on maternity leave so I’m available pretty much every day. I enjoy walking and getting out in the fresh air so your dog will get plenty of exercise. I have a secure fenced off garden for lots of time outdoors. There are also plenty of parks nearby as well as our allotment. Happy for your pet to be part of our family during their stay with plenty of time for love, attention and play.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, having 4 dogs at once for most of my life. I'm naturally patient and observant with animals, and I've spent years paying close attention to behaviour and body language, so I can tell when a dog needs space, more exercise or just some quiet time. When I'm looking after your dog, I keep to their normal routine as much as possible like regular walks, feeding times and plenty of one on one attention. I will also send you photo and video updates so you can see exactly how they're doing. I have just moved to West Bridgford/Nottingham and currently available for appointments at all times, so just message and I’m sure we can sort something :) Our apartment door is separate from the door leading outside, creating a secondary layer of security. Dogs will have a comfortable place to rest, a calm environment, and plenty of love and affection. I'll also check for ticks and let you know of any abnormalities I notice. My partner is a dog groomer too, so your dog's coat can be kept to its usual standard, for overnight stays.

About: Dogs have been part of our family for years, so caring for them comes naturally to us. We've looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, and we understand the importance of routine, regular exercise, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and settled. Our three teenage daughters are true dog lovers and very capable with them. They're always eager to help with walks, feeding, playtime and cuddles, so your dog will never be short of company or affection. Above all, we simply love dogs. We'll treat yours like one of our own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and at home with us. Our house is almost never empty. One of us works from home full time, so there's always someone here during the day, and often a second person is home too. In the evenings the whole family is around, including our three daughters. This means your dog won't be left alone. There will always be someone on hand for walks, toilet breaks, feeding and company, so they can stick to their normal routine and feel settled. Your dog will be staying in a spacious family home with plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. There's easy access to our large back garden, which gives them lots of space to run, play and explore. The garden is fully fenced and secure, with a gate, so your dog can enjoy time outside safely. Between the space indoors and out, they'll have everything they need to feel at home while you're away.

“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our Fifi while we were away on holiday. Her regular visits really eased everything for my parents, who were taking care of the house. As always, Rachel was dependable, on time, and caring towards Fifi. We appreciated the updates and felt completely at ease knowing Fifi was in such loving hands.”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs and have 23 years of experience caring for family pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits and individual needs. I’m patient, friendly and dependable, and I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s usual routine, whether that’s going for walks, enjoying playtime or simply having some company and attention. I know how important it is to feel confident about who is looking after your pet, so I’m always happy to discuss their needs beforehand and provide updates and photos while they’re in my care. I’m based in Nottingham, near Melton Road and currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to discuss regular bookings as well as occasional visits, and can work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and care routines. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I’ll always aim to arrange visits and walks at times that suit their needs. I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, so you and your pet can get to know me a little before booking. It’s also a good chance to have a chat about your pet, their usual routine, what they like and anything else I should know. I’m happy to send photos and updates while you’re away too, so you can see how they’re getting on.

About: I I am a very responsible adult who loves being active and walking dogs. I would meeting new dogs and getting to know their personalities. I want to make sure the walk they go on is the best part of their day. I am currently doing my masters while also training for hockey. That leaves me with plenty of free time throughout my day to walk dogs. I love getting outside and being active and nothing better than taking a dog on a walk on a nice sunny day. I am a very independent and clean person who values everyone’s property. I am currently looking to just walk dogs, but if I find more time for myself, I would be happy to look after clients dogs at their homes, or even perhaps my own.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have a dog of my own who lives with my parents, and I’ve been taking care of him since I was growing up, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with looking after a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m also comfortable staying in someone’s home and making sure both their dog and home are well looked after while they’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. My days can vary, but I’m able to work my routine around a dog’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I really enjoy having dogs around, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and make sure they get the exercise, care, and companionship they’re used to. My flexible university schedule also means I can be available during the day and adapt to different routines and requirements. 🐶🐾 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m responsible and respectful of both the pet and their home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on pets when they’re outside, and follow their feeding, walking, and medication routines if needed. I also keep their environment clean and tidy. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always do my best to give them the same care and love I would want for my own dog. 🐶❤️

About: I’m an experienced cat owner who has spent years caring for my own cats. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed, especially when their owners are away. I’m confident with everyday cat care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playtime and keeping an eye on changes in behaviour or appetite. I’m also happy to follow each cat’s individual routine and give them space when they need it. I know that some cats are very social, while others need patience and time to build trust. I can also help with basic dog care, such as feeding, companionship and walks, where the owner provides clear instructions. My experience with dogs is more limited, so I would always be honest about what I can safely offer and make sure I understand a dog’s needs before accepting a booking. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to send regular photo updates so owners can feel reassured that their pets are being well looked after. I’m currently settling into life in the UK and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and can arrange dog walks or other basic pet care depending on the booking and my availability. I’m happy to discuss weekday, weekend and holiday bookings in advance, and I’ll always make sure I can commit to the agreed schedule before accepting a request. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I aim to follow their usual feeding, playtime and care routines as closely as possible. I also have six years of experience caring for my own cats, so I’m very comfortable fitting daily pet care into my routine. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your pet’s needs and the times that would work best. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritise every pet’s safety and comfort. I keep doors and windows secure, respect your home, and provide regular photo updates. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to understand your pet’s individual needs.

About: Dogs are my favourite animal. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs from my previous host families, ranging from Yorkshire Terrier, Bulldog to Schnauzer. I can manage different energy levels, from providing gentle care to engaging in active playtime and daily walks. I’m a uni student at the University of Nottingham, and I am mostly available in the afternoons. I’m also available from 9am on weekends. I offer a loving home environment with a fully fenced garden for safe playtime. My two friendly dogs adore making new friends and will keep your fur baby company all day! I am also happy to provide crate training support or individual quiet time if your pet needs a break.

About: Hi! I am Sammy, a highly reliable pet sitter. I am an international student, currently an undergraduate studying Law in UON. I grew up in a home with dogs and cats since young. I have a Pomeranian back home, named Happy. She's my bestfriend and more importantly, my family. 
I understand how important trust and reliability is when looking for a pet sitter but I promise your pet will be taken care with love and warmth when with me! I have experiences caring for different sizes of dogs and am confident in caring for both dogs and cats. As I am away from home, I miss having my best friend with me. I have a big and secured balcony for dogs to run around. I have no pets at home. My neighbourhood is secured and lovely to bring your fur babies on a walk. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to message me if you are looking for a pet sitter offering day care or boarding when you are away. I am a full time student in UON. I am home most of the day, apart from having 2-3hours class on weekdays. I will walk your dogs daily in my neighbourhood, playtime with other dogs (only if permitted by owner) and myself. I have a large fenced balcony for your dogs to run around in! Pets are allowed in the bedroom and on the bed to keep them company at night as well.

About: I have 14 years of experience caring for a Poodle, whom I raised from a puppy until he sadly passed away due to old age. I hope to extend the love I had for him to other dogs and cats. I have extensive experience in caring for young dogs, along with endless love and patience I work from home, which gives me great flexibility throughout the day, allowing me to provide high-standard boarding for dogs and cats in a comfortable home environment. When caring for pets, whether in my home or theirs, I focus on: Safety: I ensure the environment is secure and free from hazards, closely monitoring the pets to keep them safe. Trust: I build a bond with the pets by understanding their needs and preferences, and maintain clear communication with their owners. Environment: I provide a clean, comfortable space with access to play and rest, either by adapting my home or maintaining their familiar surroundings.

This was the second time Olaya took care of my cat Mimi. Olaya is so very conscientious, friendly, and just amazing with cats. Mimi trusts and opens up to Olaya easily. Olaya is also very gentle with cats and I’m very grateful that she is very diligent about things like locking doors and handling the keys. She also sent me any photos during the sit which I appreciated. I highly recommend Olaya.

FAQs for Pet Sitting – Rushcliffe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rushcliffe is £10 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £9 and £17 per Visit.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,908 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across the city of Rushcliffe. About 85% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

Yes. There are up to 1,908 pet sitters offering care in and around Rushcliffe. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.

Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.

You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.

Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.

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.

Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.

Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
