About: PLEAAAASE MESSAGE ME ABOUT PRICES - THEY CHANGE, MOSTLY CHEAPER !! 🫶🏻 ALL WALKS WILL BE OVER 45 MIN UNLESS STATED YOU WANT IT SHORTER 🫶🏻 MESSAGE ME ABOUT COST OF ADDITIONAL NIGHTS 🫶🏻 i’ve been looking after dogs for multiple years now - i can cater to needs very well. able to be kept separate from other people but me if needed! doggie photo updates will also happily be given! looking after fur babies isn’t a real job for me. i would happily move things around in my plans to make things work - i have a better day with a dog by my side. also gives me a reason to be active! i love taking dogs on trips out on the train to go have a really long scenic walk - let me know if this is okay! (looking to make this my full time job if it goes well!) i am very flexible with different dog’s needs! let me know specifically what is needed from me :) can be kept social with different adults in the house, or can be kept separate with me if the doggie has anxiety or separation issues.

I’m a stay at home mum so I will have all days available so I willl have plenty of time to give to your doggies!

About: I have been around dogs from birth and spent much time looking after my parents collie which included long country walks, feeding and grooming. When I met my partner Jo later on, we got ourselves a large house with a fenced off garden, and not long after, we adopted our first rescue dog, Ben, a springer spaniel. Unfortunately due to health issues, we did not have Ben very long, but we made sure he had a good, happy life. Some time later, we adopted another rescue dog, Bonnie, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. We quickly found that Bonnie was not settling well and required the company of another dog so we then adopted Amity, a springer spaniel, as a companion. We thoroughly enjoyed looking after our 3 dogs with walks, feeding, administering medication when needed, and tending to any other needs. Our dogs always came first, were very much part of the family, and had happy lives and a home where they were loved. Sadly, all our dogs have now passed away but we still want to offer up our home to other people's dogs and look after them just as much as we did with our dogs. Myself and my partner both work part time, so we are at home for most of the day apart from one hour in the morning when we are both at work. We have a large fenced off garden for dogs to run around and play in. Dogs have free run of the house unless owners specify that they must not be in the bedroom or on furniture. We have an under stairs area for dogs who prefer a covered, quiet area to sleep in. I have pet sitters insurance to cover your dog while in our care and I also hold a DBS certificate. We will only take one owner's dog(s) for boarding at any time. We will never take dogs from multiple owners at the same time.
About: I have grown up around dogs. I currently have a Sheepadoodle. I love all animals and enjoy dog walks in the woods, countryside and the beach. I have my own business dog walking and pet sitting. I am able spend my time at home or out on pop ins or dog walks. I am fully insured and have a DBS. I will send regular updates if housesitting and photos and videos of dog walking and pet setting.
About: Hey, check out my Facebook page, "Moochyapooch"—I post all my pet adventures there! 🙂 I'm super experienced with dogs of all ages (had pets my whole life!), and I do daily walks and pet sitting. I can come to you if you're nearby. I'm pretty active, so energetic dogs are great, but I'm chill with relaxed ones too. Please check my Facebook page, "Moochyapooch," to see uploads of your pets' adventures. 🙂 I am up early every morning; I spend one-on-one time with your pets, hardly leaving them alone. I stay with your pets 24/7; we are in the same room together at all times. I live five minutes from the beach and wooded areas, so there are plenty of walks for us to go on. 🤩 Let me know a few days prior if I have any other pets. Thank you. I have a fenced garden in the back; no grass, but okay for midnight toilet breaks. Your pet will be safe in my home; my backyard is secure, with a fenced garden. I will stay with them at all times, with treats, toys, fun, and games provided, and best of all, big dog walks. I am available to take your dog on big, active walks, or little walks, or just chill out in the house with them, letting them into the garden. I treat the house for fleas and ticks regularly. All pets are kept with me at all times.
About: Dogs have always been in our family. Since I was 17 I have always owned a dog. Our last dog- Bailey was with us until he was 16. Recently we have a new addition to the household- paddy, he is a lively, friend Springador who loves to play. We also have ‘puggy’ who is getting old now and just likes to relax most days. I adore dogs, and have many years experience of how to care for them properly. I enjoy daily walks in the local area, at the beach and in the woods. I am currently on maternity leave from work so can be available every day. I have 2 young children at home who love our dogs. We go out for daily walks. I have a fenced yard so toilet breaks can be regular, I usually leave the back door open all day so dogs can go in and out as they please. Daily walks will be offered if needed. Dogs can be crated if needed but I don’t really like doing it.

About: I have enjoyed learning canine psychology and body language since around the age 10, this help me understand my dogs and find new ways of training them which is one of my favourite hobbies, although since moving out of my parents I have been really busy and I don’t have any time to get a dog of my own so I would absolutely love to look after dogs in my spare time. I don’t mind walking and training dogs, administering medications, check ins to provide some mental stimulation, make sure everything is okay or to let them into the garden. I have just finnished studying and I’m hoping I can spend some time walking peoples dogs as I’ve moved out of home and cannot see my own regularly due to the bus schedule. I have a lot of free time now until September when I start my degree so I would absolutely love to board and walk your pets. I am free all the time currently and I need something to do which I enjoy as dogs are one of my favourite things in the world. I am calm, patient, and understanding of a dogs behaviour and will always treat them with respect for the entire time I am with them. I only ever use positive reinforcement such as verbal rewarding or treats rather than shouting. I live in the center of Scarborough and have a small garden which they can use while also being able to easily get to the beach, forests, parks and fields to let them burn off some energy. My parents and family dogs live in Staintondale where there is a large fenced garden and plenty of fields to burn off energy and play games.
About: I have had a dog since i was a child and have always grown up with them. Since he has passed away i have found comfort in walking other peoples dogs. I have often walked my friends frenchies, my boyfriends Samoyed and Jack Russel & my friends Spaniels aswell as my BNB hosts dog. I find that i love walking to clear my head and go on at least 1 hour walk a day and it would be great to do this with a furry companion. Im currently at university monday and tuesdays full time. I work a part time job at the downe arms in wykeham but the shift patterns are subject to change on a weekly basis. I am free to walk a majority of the time as i make time for it. I am very trustworthy to care for a pet in the pet owners home and will abide by any house rules that are in place.
About: I've taken care of animals most of my life and I have had all kinds of them. Cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats. I love all animals. I have experience with both young and the older animals so no task is too much for me Im studying law at college at the moment so I have lots of free time as I only go Monday and Tuesdays. It definitely fits into my lifetime and schedule animals, I'll always find the time for them My environment Is calm and relaxing as one of my cats doesn't like loud noises. Always have food and water available and better sleeping places than I do
“Amy popped round for a meet and greet, and was very relaxed and helpful throughout. When she came for both visits she sent me photo and video updates, and even got my shy rescue to come out and play! Really pleased and will be booking again on future. Thanks Amy 😺”

About: I have taken care of my sisters sausage dog Simon on multiple occasions over the last couple of years. This has included week long stays as well as the occasional drop in visit. I also regularly walk a family pet called Oliver who is a cocker spaniel on my days off. Oliver is reactive to dogs and people so I have a good understanding of how to manage this. I am shift worked so will be able to provide care for your pets on my days off. I will update my schedule to reflect my days off. This is on average 3 days of the week. I have mini daschund who loves digging holes in the garden, she has free roam of the house and the garden under supervision. I am happy to come and see your dog and supervise them during toilet breaks, as well as spend time with them and keep them company. I can also provide love and cuddles as well friendly play time.
About: Hi thanks for taking the time to read my profile My name is Chloe I’m 32 years old and dog obsessed! I studied at one of the best animal care colleges in the uk (writtle) and have recently qualified as a dog groomer. I will be opening my grooming business when I have bought my property in two years. I have just purchased a puppy golden retriever so your dog must be good around young pups if they are to stay in my home with me. I have been a sitter for just over a year now, I have always been around dogs as my grandmother rescues them abroad and I’d often help her with all different sizes and breeds. I have owned dogs most of my life so I’m very experienced, you can relax knowing they will be very safe in my care. They will be spoilt with cuddles and attention, I love long walks along the sea front and beach so they will get lots of exercise if required. I work self employed from home so I have free time to walk or sit your dogs at any time of day or evening. When your dog is in my care he/she will be very spoilt with love, attention and way too many cuddles and trips outdoors, I love integrating pets into my life style because it gets me out and about rather than sitting on my laptop working all day and I just love the company of dogs and enjoy every minute as you can tell from my photos I’m always happiest when I’m with dogs and always form bonds with them Please note that day care is between 8am-8pm anything beyond this I class as an overnight booking. I generally won’t take dogs that are not toilet trained. **PRICES WILL DROP IF THERE ARE REPEAT BOOKINGS** I only start with high prices to begin with. I can care for pets in your home, large dogs might be a bit difficult but I’m happy to walk larger breeds and sit them in your home.
About: I have been a petsiitter, walker, companion for many years. I love all fur babies, recently looked after chickens too. I have a car, can work in York and surrounding areas. Will consider further afield but a minimum of one continous week. Always recommend a meetup before a booking for a cuppa and maybe a biscuit 😉 Recently retired. As i am an animal lover and experienced pet sitter for cats, dogs, chickens i can't think of a better way to spend my time. I cannot look after pets in my own home sadly. I can only offer pet sitting, Vet visits, Pop-ins for all fur babies, chickens, feeding, comforting, walking. Sadly I cannot look after reactive dogs because of past experience.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Scarborough is £12

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Scarborough 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.
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.

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 Scarborough 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.

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.
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.
