About: Hello! I am a Nottingham Trent University student raising money for Meningitis Research Foundation. I grew up with dogs (Jack Russell terriers, a golden lab, and a German pointer mix) and I was a dog walker for about a year many years ago. I am also a runner, so if you would prefer I take your dogs for a run, just let me know! I’d love to get to know you and your doggies :) I currently work part time at an art studio and am studying for my masters in fine arts at NTU, but my schooling is quite flexible and my work is less than 20 hours per week so I am able to find time around these responsibilities. For walks I care for the dogs by allowing them to stop and explore when they want and by bringing water and a small bowl for if they get thirsty on a longer walk. I also will take the dogs for a run if that is something you would like. For dog sitting I will let the pups out every couple hours or when they want, I will feed them when needed, fix them with clean water, take them for a walk at least once per day, and of course play with them and give them lots of pets
“Kerenza was a great help taking care of our cat Sushi when we had to be away for the day while she was recovering from surgery with a feeding tube and medication. Her vet training meant that we could depend on her to administer the food and medication properly. It took so much of the stress out of having to be away for the day. I really appreciated Kerenza’s knowledge, reliability, and caring approach and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
“Yifan was great, appreciated the updates on the dogs and the photos. They clearly really liked her. Very helpful with how flexible she was meaning we could push back our booking till the evening since were going out later. Great communication and felt very comfortable having her pop in to keep our dogs company for an hour and help them stay cool.”
“Aliyah is amazing! Our dog absolutely loves her and we can trust Aliyah completely with our senior girl. I would highly recommend her - she is responsible, caring and flexible and you can really see how much love she has for the animals she cares for. We are grateful to have found her!”
About: Since I was young, my family have been breeding bull dogs and I helped out a lot. Growing up we have had many dogs that I have loved to take on long walks. Currently we don’t have any at the moment which has left me wanting to go out and be with dogs again! I love long walks, hiking and being outdoors. I am currently waiting to enroll on a pets first aid course! Pet care is the perfect way to fill my week with something I truly enjoy, while making sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve. Whether I’m walking dogs or house sitting for any type of pet. My priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m trustworthy, reliable, and respectful of your home as everything will be exactly as you left it. I make sure pets are never put in unsafe situations, follow their routines closely, and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away. You can relax knowing your home and your pets are in good hands.
About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from pets boarding in a different room I am currently off work until the middle of July, so I will be at home most of the day. This means I can provide regular walks, plenty of playtime, toilet breaks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date with messages and pictures
“Hannah did the best job that she could've with our very timid cat. She was happy to do a meetup in advance of the booking which was very useful. Hannah arrived on time for the bookings and was happy to follow the instructions we left and gave updates on Evie. Would book again if we go away!”
“Rhiannon has looked after my 2 cats in numerous occasions now, and I always come back to 2 happy chaps, unstressed by my absence. Can't think of a better sign of a good job :-)”
About: I set myself apart by offering not only reliable pet care, but also tailored attention based on each pet’s unique needs. With hands-on experience in both puppy training and senior care, I’m able to provide: Puppy support: basic training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Senior care: gentle walks, medication reminders, and comfort for aging pets. Personalized activity: matching your pet’s energy level with playtime, exercise, or calm companionship. Consistent communication: daily updates with photos/videos for your peace of mind. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate daily or weekly pet care at times that suit your pet’s routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, as well as weekends. Whether it’s structured puppy training sessions, regular walks, or consistent feeding times, I’ll ensure your pet’s schedule stays balanced and stress-free. 🐾 Caring for Pets in My Home When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks (for dogs), and cuddles. I make sure feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise all follow their normal routine, so they feel comfortable and at ease. I also keep spaces clean and pet-friendly, with lots of love and attention. 🐾 Caring for Pets in an Owner’s Home In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s daily routine exactly as you set it. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning (for cats), walks (for dogs), and any special instructions such as medications or training reinforcement. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own environment while also keeping your home tidy and cared for during my visits.
“Alice and her Partner have been absolutely brilliant. They have looked after Winnie so well, even taken her out for longer and to the Pub for tea with them! They genuinely love your dog like you would want them to and they have handled her well when she can be a bit tricky around Cats! I can’t recommend them enough.”
About: I grew up with dogs from a very young age, & currently have a large range of dogs in the family (from 10kg - 40kg!), including reactive dogs (I do not have any reactive dogs in my home). I have a very friendly, bouncy, & fun loving 2 year old Sheepadoodle, George. I have looked after dogs of all ages (from 8 weeks, to 15 years old). Would love to meet your pups & give them the attention they deserve! 😊 I work from home full time, so can be very flexible with drop-ins. I can generally work around most bookings, provided I have notice to swap things around. If you need a last minute drop in, let me know & I’m sure I can make it work 😊 I drive so have some flexibility on distance. It should go without saying, but I will give your home the upmost respect, & cater to your dog’s needs.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 10 and have always been involved in caring for them. I’ve helped raise and train puppies, including feeding, walking, playtime, and teaching basic routines. As all of my family have dogs, I’m very comfortable around different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand how important it is to give them patience, attention, and care. I currently work full time, but have Thursday and Sundays off with the chance of finishing the rest of the days at 15:30pm. From Thursday to Sunday I can board the dogs from 5pm. I have a large outdoor space at the back of my flat which is perfect for dogs to safely enjoy freedom, playtime, exercise, and relaxation. I will provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and well looked after. We have space in the flat for a crate if this is what your dog needs.
“Just got back from holiday to a very happy cat. Donna is a fantastic cat sitter. Regular updates and pictures and always put me at ease as it was the first time leaving my cat. I have not only found a great cat sitter, I have also found a friend. I would highly recommend Donna to look after your cats. She's a star xxx”
“caring, conscientious, reliable and fun! I had to throw Shani in the deep end as I had a sudden work thing meaning I was away from home for 2 days. She got on with it and cared well for my "characterful" cavachon and also unoffically cleaned up after my cat! I have rebooked and hope to sort a semi-regular arrangement. A real find!”
About: I live on my own and own a very active Cockerpoo. I've looked after and taken friends and family dogs for around 10 years. I live next to woodthorpe Park which is ideal for your dog to have a adventure day ! If it's a case of me looking after your dog/dogs on there own then that is totally fine. I have family that would be more than happy looking after ziggy for a while if you dog isn't comfortable around others. I currently work part-time so, so have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I am available during most of the week and also weekends I have a fenced garden which has lots of grass and greenery to run around in. I also live close to woodthorpe park which is ideal for your dog to run around and have adventures.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have always been deeply passionate about nurturing and caring for not only dogs and cats but also parrots, hamsters, rabbits and fish. Growing up in a household brimming with furry friends, including a Dalmatian, a German Shepherd mix, and a number of rescue dogs; we also had cats that I always had a special bond with even with the independent nature they have. I still remember the warm feeling when I would take a break during the day and lie down in bed and there would always be one of my cats quickly following me to take a nap on my stomach. My natural ability to connect with pets has only grown stronger over the years. My expertise extends beyond my family's pets, as I've had numerous opportunities to care for a variety of breeds belonging to friends and neighbors. I've been trusted to look after dogs such as Rottweilers, Huskies, Boxers, Newfoundlands, Bulldogs, and even an American Akita while their owners were out of town. In addition to hands-on experience with dogs at various life stages, I have also had the privilege of assisting in the birthing process for a litter of American Cocker Spaniel puppies – an unforgettable experience indeed. As someone who thoroughly enjoys providing love and care for animals while their owners are away or in need of additional support, I wholeheartedly look forward to the opportunity to get acquainted with your beloved pets. My experience as both a sitter and walker promises to deliver not only outstanding care but also the chance for your four-legged friends to form new bonds as well. I work from home with a very relaxed schedule most days so the pets will have my full attention while they are under my care. Trained pets are welcome in my home and in the garden. If in a pet owner's home, I will happily follow the house rules and any requests.
“Vivian took care of our two cats for 9 days. Throughout this entire period, I received up-to-date information if anything looked disturbing, photos of cats and information about visits. Great communication. When we came back home, we found the cats fed, calm, and the house was clean. She's a fantastic pet sitter. I would highly recommend.”
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Sherwood is £12

Hannah was fab. This was the longest we’d left our cats with someone who wasn’t a family member and they took to Hannah very quickly. She was communicative and reliable and did a few additional requests during the booking which was very much appreciated. I would recommend Hannah!
Big thanks to Mia for taking my booking so last minute! She is very attentive and made sure the environment was kept clean and that my cats were well looked after. Very thorough and made sure to keep me updated with pictures and messages daily. Would definitely recommend, thanks again Mia!
Donna has been amazing with my cat Pluto. We booked her last minute and I was very worried about leaving my cat with a stranger. However, during our meet-up she told me a little about what she did and she seemed very trustworthy. My cat, who usually runs away from strangers, looked like he was comfortable with her from the start, playing in front of her and letting her pat him in the end. She was also very friendly and a great listener, who listened to all of our requests and offered beyond them without even asking. Coming back from our holiday, we found a very confident and happy Pluto all thanks to Donna. Throughout the whole time we were away, I didn’t feel an ounce of worry (which I’ve always done everytime I’ve left him even for a night) because she always sent photo updates and information about how he is and what’s he done.
Yifan was great, appreciated the updates on the dogs and the photos. They clearly really liked her. Very helpful with how flexible she was meaning we could push back our booking till the evening since were going out later. Great communication and felt very comfortable having her pop in to keep our dogs company for an hour and help them stay cool.
Second time we have booked with Laura and I’m so happy with the service she provides 😁 my cat is sometimes on the shy side with other people so it’s lovely to receive photo updates throughout the visit of her playing. Excellent communication, punctual and friendly! Would defo recommend
Youngkyung has looked after our cat Ava three times now, once at her flat and twice as drop in visits at our house. Ava adores her and was totally relaxed at her place, and seems to love the fuss she gets during drop in visits. She’s well looked after and we get loads of photos and updates. Ava will absolutely be being looked after by Youngkyung again :)
We've used Kit for three holidays now and it's no exaggeration to say that I can't even imagine how any other cat-sitter could be better! For each and every visit she sends an update that is usually one full phone screen of text that tells us what the cats were doing when she arrived, what and how much food they ate and what they were doing when she left! This always comes with lots of photos and videos of her giving time and attention to the cats to make sure that they're happy. Part of our daily routine on holiday now is sitting on a balcony somewhere reading Kit's updates and just being able to relax completely knowing that our fur-babies are safe and happy and we can't thank her enough for that 😊

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.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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.

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.
