“Lindsay was absolutely amazing looking after our pack (2 young cats with a lot of energy and 1 senior siberian husky with additional care needs). But none of these was an issue for Lindsay and she handled them all so perfectly and treated them like her own. I think our fur babies was sad when we came home off our holidays and missed Lindsay haha! It was so reassuring getting daily updates while we was away and meant we could truly relax and enjoy our time away. When we came back the house was spotless and Lindsay had even stripped and washed the bedding. Was such a lovely touch. She went above and beyond and we can't recommend her enough. Would give her 10 stars if we could! Thank you so much and we look forward to having you back in the future ❤️”

“Joanne came to my house to meet my dogs before we finalised our booking and we had a lovely chat. My bouncy pups settled quickly while she was here which was a good sign! Joanne was really accommodating when I requested a couple of changes to our booking. Although nervous leaving the dogs initially, I was updated daily on how they were doing. When we collected them it was heartwarming to see them run back to Joanne while excitedly greeting us. Thanks again”

About: With hands-on experience in both dog walking and positive reinforcement training, I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

About: I grew up with lots of pets of all different kinds! I have had one dog and three cats, a bunny, a hamster and guinea pigs. And yes, simultaneously! All my family always had pets too, so I am used to taking care of them when the family went on holiday 😁 I have also looked after my friends’ pets often, from a husky to a bulldog, to the most divas of black cats! I love animals and I can assure you that your pets will be in very good hands and showered in love 🥰 I currently work from home on most days, going into the office only once a week, so I am available to flat-sit for long periods of time or to have a pet here all day! I love to go on walks with dogs and play around with cats, so me and your pet will have the best time! I live in a flat, close to the docks, which is perfect when taking a dog on a walk by the river. Either at yours or mine, I will strictly follow your instructions and update you regularly on how your baby is doing. I do my best to get the pet comfortable around me to make sure we have the best time!
About: Hi, my name is Corrina and I've been surrounded by and taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I have extensive experience with dog breeds all the way from collies to chihuahuas, though it's the latter breed that I have found myself falling head over heels for. I also foster for rescues, which sees me taking care of all shapes, ages, and sizes, though I have a particular love for the oldies and special needs dogs and kitties. My practical experience is bolstered by my theoretical knowledge; I have a master's in Anthrozoology (the study of human-animal relationships) and my doctoral thesis that I am currently writing is on the potential for companion animal personhood. I am also currently studying to become a canine behaviourist at the veterinary level and I work remotely part-time for a dog walking company as an admin manager. To say that I love dogs and taking care of them is an understatement. The biggest assurance I can offer is that whilst I'm looking after your dog - whether for an hour or a week - I will treat them as I treat my own: with love and care and respect. And it's not just canines that I love, but felines too! So if you need a diligent house-sitter or someone to drop in on your kitties whilst you're away, then I would be honoured to spend time with your lovely cats. I have my own insurance and first aid certification. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide excellent care. I have regular availability for walks and drop-ins in the mornings and afternoons/evenings. At home, my day is structured around my own dogs' needs. We have a yard for toilet breaks, and several parks nearby for a good walk and sniff. I live with my partner of 11 years in a two-bedroom house, and we are both up early in the morning for a medication routine with my oldest dog. While he's off out at work, I get the enjoyable morning walks and afternoon treats! I have a fenced in, secure yard that hasn't seen a doggy break out in the ten years I've lived here. I have two rescue chihuahuas of my own (12 and 9 years old). They're pretty laid back with other dogs in the home, and are very good at making nervous dogs feel welcome. My dogs have two meals a day, and two small treat times per day as well (if I fall behind schedule, they are very good at reminding me)! In your home, I will respect your wishes and will follow your instructions on how to care for your beloved pet and home to the letter. I do not shy away from cleaning, so if you need drop-ins that include vaccuming up fur or picking up poop in the yard, then please don't hesitate to get in touch!
About: I enjoy bonding with pets and spending quality time with them to help keep them happy, well fed, watered and entertained. I love walking and running in Formby woods and beach regularly and would enjoy taking a small, local dog with me. I have more experience with cats from looking after my sisters cat, Baiby, and forming a strong bond. Pet care fits into my routine well, I work from home most of the time so would have the flexibility to drop in on cats or take dogs out with me multiple times a day. I love to walk and run in Formby woods & the beach and I’m hoping to take a small local dog along with me I care for pets in pet owners homes by playing with them, keeping them entertained with lots of strokes and making sure they are well fed, watered and any cat litter is clean and changed. I can also share photos, videos and live updates as much or as little as you like
About: I’ve taken care of pets for many years and I am happy to follow very specific instructions to care for your pet. I also enjoy long dog walks and would be happy to take your pet out for long periods of time. I am currently at university and only work part time so definitely have plenty of free time to fit in pet care and dog walks. I am flexible so can provide toilet breaks often, or long dog walks, can come in to feed your pet or while you go away.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and we currently have four of our own, 3 Chow Chows and 1 Morkie from age 4-14, so I’m very used to caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments and needs. I have hands on experience caring for a dog through pregnancy, supporting a litter, and helping raise puppies from birth. I’m confident with all the day to day care dogs need, including walks, feeding routines, grooming, playtime and making sure they feel safe and settled. I also have experience caring for dogs with additional health needs, as one of my own dogs has arthritis and joint issues and has had hip replacements, so I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, mobility support and giving medication correctly. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they are happy, comfortable and well cared for. I also know what it’s like to do everything you can for your dog and always go above and beyond for their health, happiness and wellbeing. At the moment, I’m only offering house sitting in the owner’s home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routine but I would be open to discussing care in my own home if it felt like the right fit, as they would need to be friendly and comfortable around other dogs to settle in well with my four. I work a hybrid and flexible schedule, which allows me to offer reliable pet care throughout the week. On my work from home days, I’m able to work from your home if needed, so your pet can have company, supervision and their usual routine while you’re away. I’m also available for walks, drop ins, feeding visits and overnight stays depending on notice and availability. I’ll always be clear and communicative about timings to make sure your pet gets the care they need. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions and any house rules you have. I’m respectful, tidy and reliable in other people’s homes, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

Daniela couldn't do enough for Louis. He enjoyed walks and attention throughout time that Daniela had him in my home with lots of pictures being send of him 😍. Daniela looked after my home and kept it clean and tidy and took the time to check all Louis information and route. Thank you so much for looking after him. X
Hannah was brilliant with our girls, I was a bit worried because they are nervous rescue girls. Hannah sent pictures and a video over the weekend and put my mind at rest. I could tell by how they reacted when we came home they were absolutely fine and relaxed with Hannah. She had also left everywhere tidy and stripped her bed which was lovely of her. Thank you so much Hannah x

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 Sefton 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 Sefton 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.
