About: I've taken care of dogs since I was young, from talking care of my uncles over 6" Great Dane when he's on holidays to taking care of my own Yorkie who's got an attitude of a grumpy teenager. Ive walked, bathed, trained all different breeds of dogs and have a lot of patience to work with every dog with every personality! I'm a university student who is in Tuesday to Thursday afternoons. I have a long weekend that's open for walks and drop ins, I'm an early riser! I care for a 8 year old and 2 year old Yorkshire terrier at home along with a falcon. my older dog is reactive and requires more quieter walks so I know how to make sure reactive dogs are still enjoying their walks.

“This is the 5th time Dana has looked after our 3 dogs and 1 cat. I can honestly say that Dana is just brilliant. We have so many perfect videos and pictures of them all having a fantastic time. Dana even took the time to print some pictures off which is so special. It is wonderfully reassuring to see them eating their dinner and behaving exactly as they would with us. So much so we have our first fortnight away coming up...something we have not been able to do as I was worried about leaving my furry family. Not anymore. Thank you Dana 😊”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my family and for the past 5 years I've been the person which they turn to when they need someone they can trust to care for their dogs. I've cared for a wide range of dogs, from small breeds like pugs and shih tzus to energetic border collies and larger boxer/bully crosses. This has provided me experience adapting to different personalities, energy levels and individual needs. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's taking them for a good walk, playing with them, keeping them company at home or simply giving them the attention they need. I'm happy to provide regular updates when watching you're furry friends, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy, safe and being well looked after. I've recently finished university and am currently waiting to start my graduate career, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availibility for dog care on weekdays, weekends and prolonged stays if required. Tuesdays from 5pm to 8pm is my only time I'm unavailible as I play football but other than that, I'm free to provide all the needs of your dog. I provide my care in the owner's home, where my aim is keeping your dog happy and comfortable in their normal routine. I'll follow any insturction around feeding, medication, exercise and any other requirements. I'll take the time to get to know you're dog and get to know their usual routine. Every dog is different, so I'm happy to give them plenty of attention and playtime or give them quiet time if needed. I'll treat your home with respect and leave it the same as I found it. I'll also provide you with pictures and updates to give you peace of mind your dog is well cared for.

About: Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, spending time with pets is one of my greatest hobbies. I specifically have experience around both senior dogs and puppies having cared for my elderly pugs until they passed on, and then my boxer puppy who has since grown up. I can guarantee your dog a safe, caring experience (boarding or walks), with as frequent photo updates as you require. My profile picture is myself and Dug, my fiancé's eldest chihuahua (14yo). We currently don’t have any pets living here either, so hopefully the only concern you may have is that your dog may not want to leave! Happy to work around your dog’s walking, playtime, and behavioural needs. My schedule is extremely flexible closer to the weekends, and every weekday I can dedicate evenings for walks. I can pick up anywhere in the Merseyside & West Lancashire area, which has a marvellous countryside full of walks to be had. The house is situated in a cul de sac away from busy roads, while having a large fenced garden. The town itself is both quiet and safe, resulting in a great environment for your dog to be walked in. For boarding, the house is extremely well laid out and minimally decorated to allow for safe exploration. Your pet can happily jump onto our furniture and sleep on the bed if you would prefer. Dogs can be easily caged if necessary.
“Can't recommend Chelsea enough, she clearly loves dogs and is so friendly and personable. My dog settled quickly and had a great time with Chelsea. She left our home spotlessly clean and provided us with photos and updates throughout the evening. We will definitely be using Chelsea's services again. Thanks so much 😊 x”

About: Hi, I’m Laura…I live with my partner Chris and we both have lots of experience with dogs, from owning to minding. We currently don’t have a dog and don’t plan to get another as we like to travel…but we miss dog energy and choose to borrow to fill the gap! I work from home Monday-Friday and my partner is home all weekend so we have plenty of time and love to give to your pooch. We live near Crosby beach and Rimrose valley, as well as many parks and we love getting out into nature. We’re new to rover so don’t have many reviews just yet but have had plenty of great reviews from people we’ve been minding for privately for anyone who needs one. We’re both very confident with dogs and want you to feel assured they’d be in great care. We’re happy to do a meet and greet before hand to get to know us, and of course your dog. We’re totally aware that a dog is someone’s baby and want to assure anyone who chooses us that they’ll be in great hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch soon! I work from home Monday to Friday and will sometimes have clients I need to see of a weekend. My partner works Monday-Friday and is home all weekend so all days are covered We live in a 3 bedroom house that your dog is free to roam…with a walled yard. We live near Crosby beach, Rimrose Valley and plenty of parks
“Aww Ellen was great. We have never left our Dobermann puppy and we’re very anxious. She gave us regular updates. Neo responded to her well and enjoyed her company. She went above and beyond and made us feel at ease leaving him.”
“I would say Rocco is alot of work and needs the attention and long walks and Millie handled it really well. She sent updates with pictures and videos every day which made me feel at ease. Rocco looked so content with Millie and I was impressed with one big walk she took him on which he would of loved. When we came home he was all happy and we could tell he had been well looked after. Thank you Millie for looking after our boy Rocco. We would highly recommend Millie for any dog lovers out there who need someone with high energy dog experience, pet care and long walks!”

Kevin was absolutely amazing with our dog, Bentley from the first meet and greet to the end of the full weekend. We had regular updates and photos which gave us peace of mind being the first time he’s stayed elsewhere! Their home is lovely and such a spacious garden for Bentley to enjoy. Kevin kept with Bentley’s routine with playing, walks and feeding, along with some yummy treats! Thank you so much for looking after Bentley, we will absolutely be booking again in the future ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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 West Lancashire 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.

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 West Lancashire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise

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 use the 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.
