“Derlene is amazing. We had her for a home sitting. All of our dogs loved her. She sent us pictures of them while we were away. She was very friendly, personable and easy to communicate with while we were away. Our house was spotless with freshly washed sheets and made bed when we got home. We were so happy with her that we've booked her again. Thank you Derlene.”
“Samana was excellent with our dog. She did a great job keeping us updated on what they were doing throughout the day with pictures, videos and texts. We would happily use Samana again!”
“I was nervous to leave for a night without my dogs. Ava had fantastic communication while we were away and kept me up to date. When I came home my puppies were happy and seemed to be at ease. Unfortunately she had to deal with my dog making a mess, and she dealt with it without any hesitation and was understanding. 10/10 Would recommend!”
“Sam was attentive to my check-ins. She provided regular photos. Our pets looked relaxed and happy. With a 10 yr old dog, I wanted to ensure she was well looked after. Sam did an excellent job. I would book her again.”
“Was a pleasure meeting Pam and having her care for our dogs was the best decision. They were so comfortable with her right away. She took wonderful care of them and our home. My dogs have a new best friend. Not sure if they even minded we were gone. We will definitely choose Pam to care for our fur babies in the future without hesitation.”
“We went with Lyra again for an extended weekend trip and honestly we couldn’t be happier. She communicates consistently and loves our dogs. Our home is always left in tip top condition and our girls are tired. She especially takes a lot of time and has so much patience for our dog with medical issues and leash reactivity. I will forever sing her praises from the rooftops. We adore you Lyra!!”
“Brooke was so good to me kitty, Ru! She was super friendly and followed all my directions and my cat was a happy little fellow when I got home. Brooke was awesome at communication and I felt I knew what was happening with Ru the whole time and totally comfortable having Brooke in our house. Thanks again, Brooke! Ru misses you!”
“What a godsend Nicholas was for our pups! Our trip away had stressful events, but the care of Pepper and Layla back home wasn’t one. It is clear that Nick adores the company of dogs, and our pups felt the same about him. Also, he could easily handle the 170 lbs of dogs for walks; that is a rare quality in dog sitters. He was communicative, and sent photo and video updates. We will definitely hire Nicholas again.”
“Emily was so awesome with my Groot. It was his first time having anyone that is not me stay with him. And she did a fantastic job. 10/10 service. I will definitely use this service and Emily again. Thank you for taking such good care of my Groot.”
“Jasmine has excellent communication with a wholesome heart, kind personality, and comforting way about her right from the first meeting. Jasmine stepped up beyond my expectation and was able to show positivity, compassion and maturity while also thinking ahead and outside of the box which proved to me that my pets were in good and very capable hands. Looking forward to choosing her to care for our pets in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Janessa was incredible with our dog and two cats! Our dog loved her right away and we knew our pets were going to be in good hands! We came back to a nice and clean home, she had even done the dishes and laundry!! Can’t recommend her enough!! 🥰”
“Robin was a great cat sitter and took good care of our boys. She was in touch all throughout our trip, making us enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were well taken care of. We came back home to a clean house and happy cats. We would use her again.”
“Danica was the first person who came up in my search for a sitter. She responded right away and made an appointment for a meet and greet. She was professional and comfortable with the dogs. I had her come for a weekend and it was amazing not having to worry about the pups being out of their home and being nervous. The pups were calm and happy and everything was amazing. We would definitely have Danica back.”
“We had another sitter cancel Last minute and David was able To help us out with watching our dogs. We use another dog sitting website and ended up with no sitter. David came over a week before we left to ensure he could watch our dogs and it was a good fit. We have a young puppy too and he was very accommodating. We also liked that david stayed most of time at home With the dogs to train The puppy. Our house was also clean when we came home and had daily pictures and a video sent. It was very easy to communicate. We recommend david for Sure.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Sara for petsitting our two high energy dogs during week-long vacations. On both occasions, we have come home to happy pups and a clean house. I tend to be an anxious pet parent but feel much more comfortable leaving my dogs in Sara’s care. We would highly recommend her services and will be going back to her for future petting needs.”
“Robbin was fantastic. She cared for my home and love my fur baby like she was hers while i was away. Will definitely be booking again with her. Thanks so much Robbin. I appreciate it.”
About: Whilst growing up i've always had a dog in my life to take care of weather its walking, dog sitting or caring. My LOVE for dogs will always be a big part of my life. I'm currently working at home whilst my wife is on maternity leave which gives us an incredible amount of free time to be able to look after your pets. I have a fenced yard plenty of room for them to play, i can also provide a couple of dog treats and some dog toys if they're aloud. I also live next to a very large dog park which is very convenient when it comes to taking them to stretch there legs.
“This was my first time ever leaving my pets with someone other than family. I was nervous but after meeting her and watching my pets converge on her, my anxiety went away! She went above and beyond and cleaned for us after her stay. I felt confident that my pets were safe in her care.”

The average cost for House Sitting in Devon on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Devon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Devon walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Devon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
