About: this is now my full time job. 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.

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: 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: Hi, I’m Rob! 🐾 I’m an experienced dog walker and sitter who genuinely loves being around dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages, including walking up to 6 dogs at once. I work from home, so I’m able to give visiting dogs plenty of attention throughout the day, with lots of time for walks, play and company. I live in a quiet area with fields, trails and the beach just a short walk away, plus I have a secure fenced garden. I also have two older, friendly dogs of my own. They can be kept separate if your dog prefers their own space. High-energy dog? No problem. I’m happy to provide longer walks and exercise, including running if appropriate. Your dog will be treated like one of my own. ❤️ Before booking, I like to know about your dog’s energy level, walking needs, temperament, diet and anything else that helps me give them the best possible care. I currently have a flexible, work from home job so im able to provide 24hr attention to any dog visiting the house. As well as plenty of free time for walks and playtime I have a fenced garden and live near plenty of open fields, trails as well as a 5 minute walk to the beach. 2 older dogs with good temperaments also in the house, but can be separated if necessary

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! I’ve had experience looking after and walking big dogs since I was 10, so I’m comfortable around larger, energetic dogs and know how important it is to give them plenty of exercise and attention. I especially love going on walks with dogs and seeing them happy and excited to explore. I’m patient, caring and responsible, and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and well looked after. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friend and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away! I'm a driving instructor and when I am free I would love to spend time with pets. I enjoy getting out for walks and spending time with dogs, so I’d be happy to include walks, playtime and plenty of attention throughout my week. I’m flexible with my time and can work pet care around my other commitments, making sure each dog gets the exercise, care and company they need. I’d love to make pet care a regular part of my routine! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m happy to spend time with them so they don’t feel lonely, and I’ll make sure they have everything they need while their human is away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and what they enjoy. Most importantly, I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and give them lots of care, patience and love!

About: I’ve loved dogs all my life and have owned dogs since I was a child, right up until five years ago. I miss having a dog of my own, but I don’t feel able to make the full-time commitment a dog deserves, so Rover feels like the perfect way to enjoy spending time with dogs again. I’m recently semi retired and have plenty of time for walks, companionship and giving your dog lots of attention. I’m caring, reliable and patient, and I’ll treat your dog as I would my own. I’m semi-retired and have plenty of time to enjoy walking and caring for dogs. I’m available during the daytime on weekdays and can also be available at weekends. I’m very close to North-Bay beach in Scarborough, so there are lovely opportunities for walks. I offer one-to-one walks, so your dog gets my full attention. I’m happy to arrange regular walks or occasional walks, depending on your needs. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my priority. I have a secure outside courtyard space where your dog can have some fresh air and time outdoors. I’ll take time to get to know your dog, their personality, routine and any particular needs. I’ll provide calm, attentive care and make sure they are safe and comfortable throughout their visit or walk.

About: I’m a confident, reliable and caring pet sitter with experience looking after a wide range of animals. I’m comfortable around dogs of all sizes, including larger and stronger breeds, and I understand the importance of keeping every pet safe, happy and comfortable. I previously owned an XL Bully, so I have hands-on experience caring for a large, powerful breed and understand the responsibility that comes with them. I’m happy providing dog boarding, house sitting, dog walking and drop-in visits, including feeding, exercise, playtime and giving your pet plenty of attention. I’m confident handling energetic dogs as well as more relaxed pets, and I always aim to treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of flexibility to give pets the time and attention they need. I’ve owned and cared for many different animals, including various species of reptiles and a dog, so I’m confident handling animals with different needs, personalities and routines. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, toilet breaks, companionship and general care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for, whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I have a fully privacy-fenced, high-walled garden, giving dogs a secure space to enjoy some outdoor time. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and toilet breaks, while making sure they receive plenty of attention, patience and companionship.

About: I have been a petsiitter, walker, companion for many years. I love all fur babies, recently looked after chickens too. I am First Aid trained and can administer medicines. I have a car, i cover the Ryedale 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.

About: I’ve grew up with animals since I was born with my first dog poppy. Since then I have owned another 2 dogs my current being Bertie who lives at my parents but is my whole world. I currently live in a farm with over 15 cats who are my family and bring so much joy to my world. I have also owned various other animals . I have pet sitter friends dogs when I was younger as well as taking care of puppies during the day when owners have been at work. I’m reliable hard working and loving and the animal is always my priority. Please get in touch if you would like an animal lover to take care of your dog, cat etc or a dog walk. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I’m currently off work due to personal circumstances I’m free the majority of the time apart from personal appointments which can be worked around. So I’m available as and when you require me. I can easily take your dog out in the car if needed and the dog is ok with travelling. I can take your dog on local dog walks. I can also house sit if required. I do not offer pet care in my own home due to not having a garden with living in an apartment.

Victoria did a fantastic job of looking after Chi Chi. She kept us up to date with photos and little videos. Will most definitely be asking Victoria again to look after Chi Chi whenever we go away.

Chandni is a lovely young woman who obviously loves cats. I can’t recommend her highly enough. From her home visit to meet my kitty and me to the communication from her to her obvious care for Nigel and my home I am delighted. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much Chandni 😊

FAQs for Pet Sitting – Scarborough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Scarborough on Rover is £12 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £16 per Visit.

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 242 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across the city of Scarborough. About 86% 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 242 pet sitters offering care in and around Scarborough. 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.
