About: I have had dogs my entire life, so I really understand their social cues (ie. if they're nervous, scared, or on alert), and I am able to easily remove them from uncomfortable situations. I could spend all day every day with dogs. If your dog is with me, you can rest assured that I will love them and treat them as if they were my own. Of course you are your dog's best friend, but I will be their other one. They won't just go on a walk with me; they will receive love, attention, those oh-so-adored behind-the-ear scratches, and probably some kisses, too. There has never been a dog I don't love, and I have never met a dog that doesn't love me back. I am currently transitioning out of my fully remote job to be a full time pet care provider. Animals are my passion and to work with them full time is my dream. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own home, so when possible, I am more than happy to go to your home. If a pet needs to come to my house, I have two cats, so I would keep them separated from them as much as possible. I have a fenced in yard on one acre, so plenty of space for them to run around and play. I believe that our pets are our babies and I allow animals on my furniture and in my bed. I do have a large crate, though, if you prefer a dog to sleep in a crate at night. It is my goal to make every animal feel safe and loved and I promise that your pet will be treated like family
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and have loved animals my whole life. I have an Australian Shepherd and a Mini Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience with puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs of all sizes. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or a consistent routine, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to build Rover into my full-time career while I return to nursing school, so providing exceptional pet care is something I’m truly passionate about. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s needs. I also live with my parents, which allows me to stay overnight for house sitting when needed. You’ll always receive regular updates, photos, and plenty of peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. My goal is to grow Rover into my full-time career while I return to nursing school, so I have a flexible schedule and will always do my best to accommodate your needs. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, weekends, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I’m happy to work with you whenever possible. My own dogs are a huge part of my life, and I’d love to give your pets the same care, attention, and love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. I have an Australian Shepherd and a Mini Goldendoodle who are friendly and well-socialized, but I always introduce dogs slowly and safely. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate them or crate them if requested. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.

I can also bring toys, treats, etc. for your pet(s) if you need me to!
About: Rates are negotiable, depending on the distance from my home, specific services, and number of pets.💙 Walking, feeding, and potty breaks will never be a problem with me looking after your baby . I am available to stay at your home on the weekends. I can bathe and cut nails, if the pet cooperates. I have always been an animal lover and cats/ dogs usually love me too!! I have dog sat for family and friends, for over a year off and on. I'm interested in helping others with their pets. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby! I will shower your pets with love and affection. I will adhere to whatever schedule is requested. Feeding and potty breaks are essential. I'm here to help! I work part time and I travel semi frequently. I have a regular client, I watch them Monday and Tuesday mornings. If enough notice is given, most of the time I will love to watch your baby! If you need last minute late night pet sitting, I'm your girl! I am very much a night owl I am able to board small dogs and cats at my home. I do have 7 cats, so they must be ok with other animals. I have a separate room, I would put them in while im gone.
About: My journey as a dedicated dog caregiver began early in my life, and it took a heart-touching turn when I found myself nurturing eleven newborn puppies, following a tragic event that took their mother. I remember vividly the mix of apprehension and determination as I sat on my bedroom floor, syringe-feeding each tiny pup. That first five-hour marathon of feedings marked the start of an unforgettable bond that grew stronger with every round of care. Each puppy, now happily in their forever homes, holds a special place in my heart. This experience not only honed my pet care skills but also deepened my understanding of the unique needs of young animals. With patience, love, and a commitment to continuous improvement, I offer a caring environment where your pet can thrive, feeling as cherished and attended to as those eleven puppies did. My job is seasonal, the busiest is in the summer. During the peak months of July/August my schedule varies, therefore I will regularly keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability. In the fall and winter seasons I am usually available anytime. I will care for your pet as requested per client's preferences. No one knows your pet like you do and I will stick strictly to that care and schedule.
“This was our second time using this app and we can’t say enough good things about Claiborne! She was wonderful! Followed our instructions to the letter and was always on time, updated us frequently and made us feel very comfortable leaving our girls (pups) in her care! The dogs loved her from the first meeting and we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Savannah is very responsive before coming to the home and during the time she stayed with my pups. She is a sweet person and we can tell she loves animals. She drove one hour out of her way just to help me out while being away from our fur babies. She is very dedicated and we are very proud to have her watch our fur babies. If I come to this area again, I will be using Savannah.”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, I love playing, walking and just handing out with them! Also i know the hardships it takes. I am a very available person, I do have a part time job but other than that I’m very free. I usually work a few hours every other day. I love going on runs which I enjoy very much to take a dog on, this could be a short walk or a hike! I’m very active but always love bringing animals with me even if it’s just to get a pup cup or play at a park!!! I currently have 3 dogs, and I watch my sister dog on occasion. My house has a fenced yard of an acre letting the 3 of them run freely. I’m very much for making an outside environment for dogs. But also believe in rest time. I usually spend time watching tv with my dogs or just laying with them

FAQs for House Sitting - London
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in London on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 41 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across London. 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 London 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 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!
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!
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
