“I can’t speak highly enough of Louise. My dog is my world and he requires medication on a regular basis. I immediately felt at ease with Louise and knew I could trust her with my boy. She has hit the perfect balance of warm and friendly with professionalism. Can’t wait to book another visit.”
“Jessie settled well with Jessica and the two of them seemed to have a great time. We came home to a very happy dog - she obviously hadn't missed us very much. Jessica was brilliant - the house was spotless. As if no-one had been here. We would definitely use Jessica and Rover again. Thank you”
“Cannot praise Carol enough for looking after our cats and the house. Right from the pre-visit, we were confident that Carol was going to be the perfect fit for us. During our stay away, Carol kept us updated on the cats, how they were, what they were up to and we were happy that everything was perfect. Carol knew what we expected and went above and beyond to ensure the cats were happy and contented. Carol is a fantastic pet sitter and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Will definitely be asking her to sit for us again in the future.”
“Emma & Charlotte did great job of looking our three lovely doggies. We were only away for one night, but it was so reassuring to know that our 'girls' were in safe hands. Thank you Emma & Charlotte.”
About: Hello, I'm Emma I live in the Howardian Hills, just by Castle Howard, and when you go away, I come and stay in your home with your pet. Not quick visits, I'm there for the whole stay. I work part-time from home, so your pet has company throughout the day as well as overnight. This means walks, meals and medication are all kept in their routine, essential for anxious dogs. Same bed, same garden, same walk at the same time each day. I look after your home as carefully as your pet and leave it as I found it. You'll get photos and updates of your pet whilst you are away so you're not wondering. Rosie's Way is named after my own dog, Rosie. She taught me most of what I know about patience, companionship and paying proper attention to a dog's needs and after she passed away, I wanted to find a way to spend time around dogs again without rushing into another dog of my own before I'm ready. I'm a qualified work-from-home online therapist by profession, which means a lot of my working life is built around trust, confidentiality and paying close attention, qualities that carry over directly into caring for someone's pet in their own home. I treat every stay with the same care and discretion I'd want if it were my own home and pet. I'm a qualified work-from-home online, which means I can work anywhere with an internet connection. I typically work 2 to 3 hours a day online from home during the day and your pet would keep me company. DBS-Checked You can feel confident about who is in your home and who holds a key to your home. Professional Background In Care As a therapist and previously a carer, I am reliable, trustworthy and confidential. Being calm and attentive are second nature to me. Day Cover In Your Home I am there throughout the day, not just overnight. Personal You will always deal with me. I take time to get to know your pet's routine before I start. Insured I am insured through Cliverton, a specialist pet care insurer, covering both public liability and your pet while in my care. Experience A mature, reliable pair of hands. I have been around dogs all my life. What I don't offer: I do not take pets to stay overnight at my own home. That's a different, licensed activity (home boarding) under a separate council licence, which I don't hold. Everything I offer takes place at your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
About: I grew up looking after fantail doves, and since becoming a business owner and digital nomad in 2024, I've loved petsitting for many animals across the world. From dogs to cats to goats to goldfish, I've loved learning who they are, supporting them in their homes and having a fun & rewarding time with them in the process! I have experience with animals of all ages including week old puppies, senior dogs and cats. I work remotely in my own business, which allows me to live flexibly and support your pets with the routine and life they're used to whilst you're away. I enjoy settling into homes, caring for pets as part of my daily rhythm, and experiencing new people and places. * I'm DBS checked and insured I've loved petsitting for many animals in their homes across the world. I've loved learning who they are, supporting them in their homes and having a fun & rewarding time with them in the process! I have no problem giving them the care the need including routine, medication, love and play. I'm also quite a greenthumb and had plenty of plants and grew food on my balcony before becoming a digital nomad full time. I'm also used to dealing with any house issues that arise!

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 Ryedale 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 Ryedale 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.
