About: I have owned dogs all my life and have experience training, walking and caring for them. I have owned several types of dogs so have learnt to handle different personalities. I have experience caring for dogs other than ones I own as well, such as babysitting for neighbours, extended family members and friends. I currently am a student at the university of York, on summer break until October. During this period I have no academic obligations, so my schedule is completely flexible seven days a week—including evenings and weekends. This open availability allows me to commit readily to regular or one-off engagements, accommodate last-minute requests, and dedicate consistent time and attention wherever it is needed. At home, I follow a consistent, safety-first routine: each of my dogs enjoys two purposeful walks every day, never less than an hour per outing. Whether we’re on-lead along busy pavements or in a secured, off-lead exercise area, I use well-fitted harnesses, high-visibility gear, and clear verbal cues to keep every dog under confident control. Years of working with energetic pups, strong pullers, and shy seniors have sharpened my ability to read canine body language and respond calmly to everything from sudden leash reactivity to distracted wandering. I proactively manage encounters with unfamiliar dogs—maintaining distance when needed, redirecting focus with positive reinforcement, and ensuring that every outing remains relaxed, enjoyable, and incident-free.
“Chelsea was fantastic looking after our cat. The updates and pictures were so lovely (very talented photographer). I was worried cookie wouldn't warm to other people but he loved having Chelsea around. Looked after the house nicely. Shes such a lovely person which adds to the comfort of leaving your house and animals with her. Will 100% be using her to look after cookie again.”

About: I have pet care experience since the age of 10 when I first got my dog, Barney! I now have another dog Rusty who is 3, and a tortoise named Toby. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and rodents, with experience walking, feeding, bathing and playing! I absolutely love animals and would love to be able to help out with your animal needs.

Once I am back at university I will be able to do evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I have a walled garden, and two lovely dogs at home who can play with your pets and keep them company. There are plenty of toys, water bowls and food bowls and a safe environment for your furry friend. Any requirements such as crates etc please let me know and I would be happy to accommodate. I aim to keep your pets routine as similar as possible and treat your home as if it’s my own, so you can feel assured that your pet is cared for and safe while you are away.
“It was great to have Victoria look after our Cat whilst we were away, she was super friendly and we felt he was in very safe hands. He normally isn't the biggest fan of people so we were super pleased when he was a fan of Victoria! Will definitely book in again next time we go away :)”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 12, from cuddly cats and playful pups to curious hamsters and chatty parrots. Friends, family, and neighbours often rely on me to check in on their pets, provide food, playtime, and company while they’re away. I’m experienced with different personalities, from shy rescues to high-energy breeds, and I always take the time to understand each animal’s needs. Whether it's playing with a cat, cleaning a cage, administering medication, or offering calm companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, care, and lots of love. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dedicated care and attention to your pets. I’m available for sitting and playtime. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. When caring for pets in their home, I make it a priority to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I ensure they have fresh water, timely meals, and lots of love and attention. Whether it’s daily visits, playtime, or administering medication, I treat your home with respect and your pet like family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps your pet happy while you're away.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for dogs is something that brings me genuine joy. When you leave your pup with me, they’re not just being looked after—they’re also giving me happiness and companionship in return. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, nurturing approach and my experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. I’m patient with training basics and attentive to the special needs of older pets, making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and right at home. I work part-time, usually from 9 to 1 most days, with the occasional 4 to 7 shift. This schedule gives me a perfect window in the middle of the day to come home, walk, feed, and spend time with your dog. Most days, I’m home by early afternoon, so we’ll have plenty of time together for play, cuddles, and companionship. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or visiting them in theirs, I always aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment. At home, I have a secure fenced garden that’s perfect for fresh air, playtime, and exploring. I live in a lovely, peaceful area that's great for dog walks, and our home is quiet and pet-friendly. There are no other pets or young children—just me, my sister, and our mum and dad, all of whom are animal lovers just like me. Your pet will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of attention, cuddles, and care tailored to their individual needs.
About: Since I was born I’ve been around animals, at 4 it was riding and looking after horses, at 7 I got my first dog, and at 19 I set up my dog grooming business! At the moment just starting out on rover, I am available on Fridays as they are my least busy days for grooming. I’ll be able to do drop ins and walks. I have walked and done drop ins for friends before, and I am very knowledgeable of many different breeds of dogs due to my grooming experience.

Georgia L.
“Georgia has had a passion for animals from a young age! Growing up, Georgia lived with cats and was an avid horse rider. Her love for horses quickly converted to caring for horses, this gave Georgia far more joy than riding them. In her teenage years, Georgias family got a cavachon, Georgia has been brilliant with walking him and caring for him. Georgia doesn’t just love animals, animals love her too!”
Phoebe D.
“You could not place the care of your beloved pets in more caring hands than Phoebe’s. She has lots of experience caring for her own ‘soul mate’ cavapoos Barney and Rusty, as well as smaller animal friends; rabbits and a tortoise! Phoebe intuitively understands pets likes and dislikes and adapts accordingly to their needs. You can trust that if Phoebe looks after your pet, they will be making a new friend.”

shauna c.Star Sitter
“I have never been a fan of kennels especially as my dogs are allowed inside the home and are allowed to sleep in their own beds or in my room. Finding someone who listens to you and makes your pet feel equally welcome in a different home environment, is very rare & I was so lucky to find this level of care here with Shauna. I also appreciated the unexpected video updates showing just how good a time my Labradors were having without me - my furry traitors! I have no hesitation in recommending Shauna for all pet services and she will always be my first choice for looking after my boy. (Labradors 29 & 31kg) My boys are on the medium/ large size and Shauna had no problem with handling them much to my great relief and satisfaction. Never using kennels again.”

Jill W.
“Jill is my neighbour and every time we go away she is my first choice to care for my cat. She reliably feeds him twice a day and always makes time to give him a cuddle. Jill also looks after my dog from time to time: she has had dogs of her own for years and is kind and confident walking and caring for dogs. i wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
Jock P.
“Jock is a loving and sensible caregiver. He understands what is needed when looking after our lovely but loving cockapoo, and always reacts appropriately to his little 'actions'. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jock to other dog owners, and am sure he will be of great benefit to Rover.”

Mia H.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Mia as an exceptional cat sitter. She was incredibly attentive and caring, and went above and beyond to ensure my cat felt comfortable, safe, and loved while I was away. From the moment she started, Mia took the time to understand my cat’s routine and preferences, which made a noticeable difference in how relaxed and happy my cat was in her care. She spent quality time playing, brushing, and engaging with my cat, and was very consistent with feeding, litter box cleaning, and providing regular updates that gave me peace of mind. She even played calming music and used my cat’s favorite toys to keep her entertained. I was truly relieved knowing Mia was at home, treating my cat like her own. Mia is trustworthy, compassionate, and highly reliable—I would not hesitate to have her look after my cat again.”
