“Jenna was great and I really appreciated her willingness to take care of my senior dog and senior cat during overnight stays. She took great care of the pets, responded quickly to messages, and left the house in excellent condition. Highly recommended.”
“Emily was fantastic with my high energy, anxious dog. She communicates very professionally, is organized and is easy to trust with the care of my pet. She also left my home clean and well cared for. 100% would recommend.”
“Narelle has looked after Penelope several times now and we have been very pleased with the service she provided! Our cat seemed indifferent to our arrival home meaning she was well taken care of in our absence. Would recommend Narelle for your pet sitting needs!”
“Alissa stayed in our home for a week while caring for our two cats, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She left our home immaculate—honestly, it looked even better than when we left. She took wonderful care of all of our indoor and outdoor plants and flowers, and she treated our home with the utmost respect. Most importantly, she cared for our cats as if they were her own. When we returned, I had never seen them so happy. I honestly think they were looking for Alissa when we walked through the door! One of my cats is usually very skittish, but he’s been incredibly relaxed and content since we’ve been home. That says everything about the love, patience, and care she gave them. While we were away, Alissa sent daily photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by cleaning the house, changing the bed sheets, and taking care of so many little details that we never expected. I highly recommend Alissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Whether you have cats, dogs, or any other pets, you can be confident they’ll receive exceptional care. We will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thanks Again Alissa! You are definitely a gem :)”
“Fiona obviously loved dogs and my Dog loved her back. She easily won him over with her affection. I appreciated the photo updates she would send and the fact that she left my house nice and tidy and didn’t mind watering my flowers. She was easy to coordinate with and I would definitely recommend her.”
“Ashley has been a great sitter. She asked the right questions from the start and tried to know Sherloque and his preferences. She shared the pictures during her house visit. She is genlte with the dog, knows what she is doing. I will use her services again.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Walter was kind enough to accept a lasting team booking for my 22 month old Great Dane and senior Beagle. I was super nervous leaving a 140lbs puppy for a few nights, but after meeting Walter for the first time and seeing his calm, gentle demeanor with my boys; I was instantly at comfort! It was noticeable he has a lot of experience with giant size, active dogs. Each day I received multiple pictures of Walter and my boys on walks, sniffing around, having treats, and snuggling. It definitely felt good knowing they were having as much fun as me when I was away! Walter not only took meticulous care of my boys, he also kept my place perfectly clean. He even walked them again right before I came home, which bought me some extra time to relax with them when I got back. Thank you Walter! We certainly hope you will consider us again in the future!”
“Carrie is a lovely person. She’s extremely reliable - was very prompt, followed our instructions exactly, and even played with our cats 😊 She went beyond her duties to check on our backyard as well. We returned to a clean house, with the cats fed and happy. We were able to stay an extra day because we felt comfortable leaving our babies with Carrie for longer!”
“Carole was very professional while pet sitting our two pups! She send lots of updates and pictures! It was very easy working with her. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again! Made our life!and our dogs very stress free!”
“Sara was the absolute best person to look after Newton. Our elderly cat needs attention and is anxious when left alone. While we were away, she updated us regularly with regards to his feedings, medication applications and how he was doing. She took great care in making sure he was comfortable and his needs were tended to. We can't say enough good things about her care for Newton and her respect while being in our home. We strongly recommend Sara, if you need a special person to look after a special fur child. Thankyou Sara. P&S Young”
“We were so happy with Lauryn’s care of our pets while we were away. She kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us such peace of mind. Our pets were well looked after, and it was clear they were in good hands. Our house was also spotless when we returned.We would definitely have Lauryn stay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Shannon was wonderful with both her care of our dog and her communication with us. Her kind nature put our hearts at ease knowing our old guy was in good hands. We would definitely book her again!”
“Vritika is a great pet sitter! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a thoughtful, kind, and compassionate sitter for your cat or dog. She is terrific with both. Vrutika care for my fur babies, 10 year old Rusty (dog) and 1 year old Chester (cat). My furry boys were well taken care of over their 4 days with Vrutika. Your pets will be in good hands with her.”
“Kathryn was fantastic, she agreed to watch our pup last minute so me and my husband could go out. She sent us lots of updates and photos and was great and easy to communicate with. She took great care of Aspen and our home and we would 100% book with her again.”

“Only have amazing things to say about Taylor! She spent the time getting to know our 100 pound boy, through walks and visits before her stay! We had amazing communication and lots of pictures sent, as we requested! House was left spotless and our pup was a happy and well loved boy !!”
“Bella took excellent care of our two dogs, elderly cat, and house for four days. She texted appropriately with questions, administered meds on time, put out our trash and recycling, and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since the age of 15. Friends and relatives often used to ask me to take care of them while they were away, after some time I decided to be a dog sitter and groomer full time, I love this and would never change it. I'm available on Weekdays all the time and on Weekends as well! We can talk about scheduling in holidays depending on the situation and your pet. Currently I live in an house with a big fenced yard where your furry babies can go out anytime and have a sniff or playtime. My house is tought to be safe for animals, no wires or toxic substances to their reach. I treat each furry client like my own, always providing love and care at all times while sharing pictures and videos to the owner. Also all the pets will socialize along with my dog Moka.
“It's always a pleasure to come home to happy, well-loved and cared for pets after a voyage...and Heather definitely makes that happen! She is amazing at sending photos, playing with our pets and I can tell that they look forward to seeing her. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be requesting Heather the next time we go on vacation. Thank-you so much for the fabulous job.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - London
I can't thank you enough for watching our little pet family. I was a very nervous first time Rover pet parent but you put my mind at ease right from the meet and greet. I appreciated the updates throughout the stay and can't recommend you enough. Thank you Yoda!
So happy with the choice to hire Narelle for our house/pet sitting! We were away for 3 weeks straight for the first time and nervous to leave our cat and dog (and houseplants) but Narelle was super communicative and took care of everything so nicely while we were away. The pets loved her and she even figured out how to get our picky dog to eat his food more consistently! She also left the apartment clean and we'll cared for so when we got back after a very long travel day we didnt have anything to worry about. Absolutely recommend Narelle, she's a peach!
Samantha took great care of our girls and our home while we were away for 2 weeks. She was confident in administering daily medications and supplements, and monitoring our oldest who has had some recent medical concerns. Thanks again Samantha - I can tell the girls miss you! 🐾🐾
Anastasija was great with my kitty cat, Issac. He’s a little shy, so he doesn’t come out for everyone, but when Anastasija came over to meet him, he greeted her immediately. We didn’t even have to lure him with a Churu. A true cat whisperer! Anastasija did an amazing job pet-sitting Issac. Not only did he feel comfortable and safe with her, she provided plenty of playtime and affection. And she made sure everything was nice and clean when I got back from my trip. I’m super grateful to have come across Anastasija, and I would absolutely recommend her.
Caitlin is a dream come true when it comes to pet care. Given her in depth experience from working at the Humane Society I knew my new puppy and cat would be well taken care of. She goes above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. Right from the start they bonded with Caitlin and I could relax knowing they were safe, secure and happy. I highly recommend Caitlin for any of your pet sitting needs!
Cannot sing enough praises about Kayla. She truly went above and beyond - while away this week, our Maeve needed our vet’s intervention. Kayla worked with a close friend of ours to get our pup to the vet, get the prescribed medications, and followed through with administering them in a timely manner. She went the extra mile, and more, for us. We are most appreciative … and happy to come home to a healing pup and happy feline. Thank you, Kayla, for all you do!
Kathryn was fantastic, she agreed to watch our pup last minute so me and my husband could go out. She sent us lots of updates and photos and was great and easy to communicate with. She took great care of Aspen and our home and we would 100% book with her again.
Krysta was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Dog Chloe and our two cats, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She also gave Chloe her medication twice a day without any issues, which meant so much to us. The updates and photos were so appreciated, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. We came home to very happy, relaxed pets—which is everything. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in London on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 312 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across London. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in London 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 London 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 London 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
