“Mary (Ivett) did such a great job looking after our Ebony! This was the second weekend we have asked her, and she has been brilliant, ensuring Ebony has some attention and all the food and water she needs every day. It us also so nice to get videos and pics of Ebony each visit! Will definitely ask Mary again! ”
About: Myself and my partner Timmy, have both taken care of several dogs over the past three years, all of different breeds. This has involved walking, feeding and boarding. We absolutely love animals, the outdoors and going for walks. We are both very active. We currently live in Prestwich but like exploring new walks. We both own a car and can drive to take your dog further afield to a more secluded place if needed.😌 I am currently a primary school teacher full time and live in the North East. Myself and Timmy are both available after work, most evenings from 4:30 onwards and free on weekends for long walks/ boarding. We have a large garden that is fenced and gated at the front with both patio and grass. There are no other pets or children in my home. It is also a smoke free house.
About: Hello. I'm Dan, 34 years old and a lot of free time giving me the opportunity to help you and your pets. I'm an avid animal lover of all types and would welcome all invitations to walk, watch over and treat your best friends as mine too. I like to stay active, keeping a regular walking distance everyday and would happily welcome company on those walks. Whether that be short routes around the neighbourhood or a much longer trek in the hopes of tiring them out by the end of the day. I am a licenced first aider with lots of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past with severe medical conditions and other special requirements. In those situations I'm well trained to remain calm under pressure and skilled at assisting your pet in times of need.
“Casey was great taking care of our cat, Steve. She sent us daily updates about how he was doing and how much he had eaten. Casey noticed about the house being too warm so opened up the windows while there.”

“I contacted Jen after my usual walker cancelled. She quickly arranged a meet and greet and happily took on the job of looking after my dog Karma. I would definitely recommend Jen as she provides lots of feedback and reassurance that your dog is ok. I will definitely be using Jens services again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have always been surrounded by them growing up. I currently have 3 dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, love and care. I’ve also looked after family members’ pets in the past, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. Although I’m new to Rover, looking after animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy and I would treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I work part time but I don’t have a set weekly schedule as my shifts change from week to week. This means my availability can vary, but I’m able to plan my pet-sitting commitments around my work rota. I’ll always make sure I know my availability in advance and will communicate clearly with owners to arrange dates and times that work for everyone. 🐾 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. I’m used to having dogs around and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I would follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of attention and cuddles. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I would respect their space and keep to the pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable in familiar surroundings. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions from the owner and keep them updated with how their pet is doing. 🐾❤️

I will look after your dogs in the comfort of their own home so they feel at ease. I will also give them lots and lots of cuddles :)
About: I've grown up with dogs and have had my own as an adult for the past 12 years. I am dog mum to an 11 year old cocker spaniel and a 3 year old daxie - my pride and joy. I have experience with animals from as small as puppies to as large as horses. I am kind, caring, loving and patient. I will treat your babies just how I treat my own, like royalty. I am available for; home visits and comfort calls. dog walks (30 mins/1 hour) on week days dog walks (full day location walks on weekends) I live in a three bedroom semi detached house overlooking a nature reserve where there are plenty of lovely walks. I have a fenced garden and two lovely dogs to keep your fur baby company. We’re a dogs on the bed/sofa type household!
About: I provide extra attention and care to pets. Because of how meticulous I am, I easily and quickly notice changes in their personalities or moods which is very necessary in picking up signs of health issues or any distress. I believe it is very important to treat animals with love and provide them with all the care possible. I have catered for different kinds of pets so I am very aware that different pets require personal attention and care specific to them because temperaments and behavioural patterns are different. That helped me understand better how to train pets based on their individual/personal circumstances. Every pet is a new joyful experience for me. It warms my heart to care for them which makes me feel like they do more for me. I love them.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Stockton-on-Tees
Sylvia was absolutely fantastic! All of our cats trusted her straight away, and she was brilliant at understanding and adapting to each of their very different personalities. We felt completely at ease leaving them in her care and would happily book her again!
I can't recommend Lyndsey enough. I could tell from the updates she really got my cat Luna (sweet but sassy and very vocal!). Luna is an quite an independent outdoor cat but I could see from the updates Lyndsey still spent the time to get to know her and make a fuss of her (even if that was sitting on the doorstep with her giving her strokes while she was in the garden). I am also chronically unorganized and she took in parcels for me when needed. It's just lovely when your away from home to get updates that make you smile and know that your cat is happy and getting well taken care of.
We were really happy with the care our cat Vera received from Vanessa. Vera was visited every day at the agreed time and Vanessa spent time playing with Vera and keeping her company. We received photo updates and a quick report about how she was getting on. When we returned from our trip away Vera was settled and content, having been well looked after.
This is the first time I’ve booked a sitter for Rosie as opposed to taking her to the cattery. Lisa is lovely and I felt very at ease leaving her to care for Rosie while we were away. Lisa was very understanding despite a mix up with the first meet-up, and accommodated a very last minute booking. Updates and pictures received at each visit, and came back to a very happy cat who clearly enjoyed the attention 💕. Lisa followed Rosie’s routine which I’m very thankful for. I would highly recommend. Thank you Lisa!x

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 Stockton-on-Tees 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.

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.
