About: I am the biggest lover of dogs! There are no limits when it comes to loving your dog and being a doggie mom myself - there’s nothing more special than loving and nurturing your dog and showing them the best quality of life. They give such unconditional love and to show that love back to them is priceless! I will treat your dog like they are my own - kisses and hugs and running and having fun! I am a nurturer by nature and a protective momma bear and I would always make sure your doggies are in the safest environments. I truly have so much love for all animals and dogs hold a special place in my heart. They deserve the world and more!

“We have never used a boarding /dog sitting service before . Never left our dog with someone who wasn’t a family member so I was so apprehensive, but meeting Dana put my nerves at ease instantly! And my dog immediately loved her! She was wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I am currently a German Shepherd mom, but I have experience owning and training dogs of all sizes! The most important thing I have learned in my experience with dogs is that they are all different regardless of breed. I cannot wait to build a bond with your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Additionally, I have received professional training for use of an e-collar and prong collar, should your furry friend need to be walked with either of those. On the weekdays, I usually get home around 6:30, and I like to go for a leisurely walk as opposed to the gym, so it would be the perfect time to walk your furry friend! Additionally, I work as a grad student in a research lab, and I make my own work schedule. So, my schedule is relatively flexible, and I can be available in the early morning or late night if need be. I own a German shepherd, so I am very experienced in providing the time and attention necessary to stimulate and occupy your furry friend during our walks. Additionally, the apartment complex I live in has a private dog park that your furry friend can be taken to if you’re interested.

About: I used to be a vet technician and also have had lots of experience with my own pets. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and currently have 2 cats :) I love animals and would always keep them safe and taken care of. I currently pet sit my neighbor's cats whenever they go on vacation! I'm attentive, gentle, and love all pets! I work 2x a week in Jersey City (Tues and Wed) but from home the rest of the week! That means I'm available all day the rest of the week. On days I work in the city, I'm gone between 8 am and 8 pm. But, if care is needed before or after those times, it can be negotiated! I try to be flexible. I keep my space clean and will clean yours too while I'm sitting on your home. Litter will be cleaned with every visit. And I like to supervise feeding to ensure everything is fine. For boarding, I do have a spare bedroom with its own attached bathroom, and the main door has a cat gate + full door so my pets and yours will be separate :)

About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. I love dogs, and am always the go-to for friends and family when they need a pet sitter. I work full time as a teacher, so my schedule is open during the summer months. The rest of the year, I am available weekdays after 5pm, and most weekends. My own dog was crate trained, but I am comfortable with both crated and free roaming pets. I love snuggling on the couch with a pup or two, and am happy to stick to the routine that works best for your pet!

About: Long run/walk deals in parkwood Professional boxer that runs and walks long distances. I have a lot of energy and enjoy being around dogs of all sizes! Send your energetic dogs with me to walk/run to get that energy out! I usually run 6 days a week so its easy to schedule if you want to work something out where your dog becomes my running partner 🤓🏃‍♂️ Walks and long walks are no problem anytime. In miami i live in a condo that doesn't allow pets so i can't sit them at this time until i move to a different building. In philadelphia i have a backyard so thats an option.

About: Despite being an dog lover for as long as I could remember, I didn't get to own a dog until 2021! Although I'm a little late to the game, owning my dog has taught me so much about dog behavior and animal nutrition. My pup is reactive so I have taken numerous training classes to help him, and I'm actively working on these issues, meaning not only do I have experience with reactive dogs, but I've also gained a ton of knowledge and information about canine behavior and training. I've also fostered puppies for my local dog rescue several times, so if you are having trouble with your new pup, I can take that stress off of you! I'm currently a full-time remote employee, which makes it incredibly easy for me to give your dog my attention if your pup stays with me, and/or house sit for ya! I do have a pup of mine at home, so any house sitting will need to be booked at least a week in advance, but other than that, I am available most days of the week for day cares and boarding! Safety is the number priority in my house so with that being said, if you decide to have your pup stay with me, I will keep them separated from mine! It will be a crate and rotate situation, just to keep both dogs and humans safe, but don't worry, they will get tons of exercise and treats when out! I have a fenced in yard at my home so if your pup loves to run around, they will get lots of it! But if they prefer walks, my neighborhood is quiet and has lots of smells for your pup to take in!

About: I’ve been raised in multiple households that all have had pets small to big, and young to old! I’m the type of pet owner to give my dogs cold water on a hot day. Or change out the water when I see a spec. I have a different heart for animals, as anyone should. Can’t wait to keep my pet journey going! I would love to spend time with animals, as it relieves my stress and has been proven in my life, to help me remain patient and leveled headed in stressful situations. Excited to see what these pets have in store for me! I take care of a little kitty named Romeo! I am always picking up after, and cleaning Romeo. Hygiene is important even for PETS! Having clean food and water, necessary toys to entertain them, and keeping their potty areas clean is very important in my household.

“Yullia was a dream of a sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful and showed exceptional judgement. One of our dogs had an unexpected seizure and she dealt with it exactly as we would have. She then communicated consistently to ensure we knew exactly what had happened. We will book her again with no hesitation - the dogs love her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Croydon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Croydon is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $40 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 5,378 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Croydon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Croydon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Croydon 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!

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 Croydon 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!

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.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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.

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 veterinarian. 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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Croydon. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
