“From the moment I met Beth, I felt completely confident about leaving Blossom in her care. She is so friendly, clearly has a genuine love for dogs, and is obviously passionate about animals. Beth took such amazing care of Blossom during her stay. Blossom wasn’t able to manage long walks, so Beth was incredibly thoughtful and took her on lots of shorter walks instead. She also sent me the most beautiful photos throughout the booking and kept me updated regularly, which gave me such peace of mind. Blossom needed medication during her stay, and Beth followed all of my instructions perfectly. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and an unexpectedly clean house! Beth had even stripped the bed, washed the bedding and hung it out to dry. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would recommend Beth, and I absolutely can’t wait to book her again. She was fantastic from start to finish! ❤️”
“Susan was a fantastic sitter. She was trustworthy and reliable. We met and chatted before and during the booking. Susan sent us regular videos and updates… which helped us to feel so assured when we were away. Or cat Maeve was relaxed and calm on our return- clearly, she was really well cared for by Susan. We certainly hope to re-book with Susan.”
About: With 5 years of experience caring for dogs of my own, including 30 hours of work experience in dog kennels training puppies, I have a lifelong dedication and deep understanding of canine needs. My part-time schedule is flexible, and I'll always keep you updated weekly so it suits your needs. Just let me know in advance, and I'll ensure I'm ready to care for your furry friends! I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being, ensuring a trustworthy environment.

“Stepped up to the mark at short notice allowing us to attend a funeral feeling happy that our dogs would be well looked after. Fed the dogs and played with them, peace of mind for us priceless. Thanks!”
“We're so grateful to Alice and Tommy for the lovely care and attention they gave to our little Patty. They gave him lots of exercise and opportunities too explore and sniff. Also ensured they made time to rest before ball games in the garden. They took really good care of our house and left everywhere clean and tidy. We felt they were genuine, trustworthy and very kind young people who we'd have no hesitation is asking again .We received photo's and video's which was very reassuring, we felt our little Patty was in safe hands as well as having kisses and cuddles. We would highly recommend Alice and Tommy to care for your pets.”
About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal psychology. I can read the body language of both cats and dogs, adjusting my care to their individual needs. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or your dog requires special attention, I tailor my approach to create a calm and safe environment where your pets feel comfortable while you're away I’m available all weekend, so I’d be happy to take care of them during that time but if someone really needs me I am available during the week as well. I prioritize your pet's safety, trust, and comfort by maintaining a secure and familiar environment in your home. I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels at ease. I ensure their space is clean, safe, and stimulating, and I make sure to maintain routines they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I provide the same level of care and attention as if they were my own.

“I can’t thank Chloe enough for looking after Phoebe, Bean and Ralphie. We have had a few days in york and she has been fab! I can see how much they have been loved and looked after,Bean can be quite stressed out by change, she has obviously had a great time with Chloe not an ounce of stress in her. They have obviously loved Chloe. I would highly recommend her to look after your pets, and I will be definately asking her to look after my fur babies again, communication was great and so were the pictures, thank you . Chloe you are amazing! Lorraine and Charles”
“Jazmin was absolutely amazing. Our dog daisy loved her. We got regular photos and updates whilst we were on holiday. We'll definitely use her services again and would highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with four dogs on a farm, since then I have had 1 dog in the city. I am used to looking after and walking multiple dogs of all sizes. Most recently I have looked after three dachshunds for ten nights. I am available for house sitting all throughout the week. I am available for dog walks in Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse all days of the week. I can adapt to pets as you and they require. Generally I would stay in the same room as them throughout the day, walk as often as needed, regularly let them outside, and give lots of cuddles if the pet wants. I have experience adminstering medication to elderly pets.
“Katrin is amazing! She is so friendly and understanding when it comes to my nervous cockapoo Daisy. She puts my mind to ease as I have never left Daisy with anyone before . Although Daisy is nervous of new people she warmed up to Katrin very fast. Cannot recommend enough! Will be booking Katrina whenever I need a dog sitter for Daisy :)”
“Happy to recommend Neil!!! Took the time to understand requrements and make a visit in advance. Asked lots of questions. Also, made sure that everything was good before leaving! Lovely couple, regular text updates and most importantlyly we came home to very happy dogs!!!”
“Isla looked after my dog and house this weekend and did a fantastic job. She took great care of my dog, making sure he was well looked after, exercised, and settled while I was away. When I came back, the house was also spotless and exactly how I left it, which I really appreciated. It was clear she is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isla to anyone looking for someone dependable to care for their pets and home.”
About: I previously owned and operated a pet store for six years, building a substantial clientele and earning trust. I have a deep understanding of the behavioral cues of both cats and dogs and expertise in caring for dogs with various health issues, including conditions like ear mites, interdigital dermatitis, and skin diseases. I am knowledgeable about the causes and treatments for these ailments. Additionally, I am proficient in providing routine pet care, such as bathing, blow-drying, nail trimming, expressing anal glands, and cleaning ears. Moreover, I know how to select suitable food for cats and dogs. In my former pet store, I regularly prepared nutritious meals for boarded pets. Through years of experience, I've learned that patience and genuine care are paramount in this profession. I am currently a college student studying equestrian-related disciplines at NTU. I have free time every weekend and am more than happy to assist those in need with taking care of their beloved pets at home. I will begin by inquiring about essential details regarding the pet, such as feeding amounts, dog-walking times, play durations, and litter box maintenance. Additionally, I'll attentively listen to the owner's specific requirements. Moreover, I offer complimentary basic health checks for the pets and can provide caregiving advice. After discussing the care plan, I will ensure to fulfill the agreed-upon needs as per our arrangement. I'm also open to sharing video updates of each care session with the owner.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young, and I've always been the one caring for them. I have hands-on experience with Labrador Retrievers, American Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs. I’m quite skilled at exercising them through long walks or playing with them at home. They do not need to be crate trained, as I have worked with both options. I can assist with command training if needed, or, if they are young, I can maintain consistency in their training. I can also pick them up and drop them off in my car. I have a dog collar seatbelt for safety. Happy to discuss any flexibility needed or adjust the pet car to suit your requirements. I work from home on Fridays and Mondays, and I am very likely to work from home on weekends. This allows me to pet-sit full-time from Friday to Monday. I have a very flexible job, so I could probably organise extra weekdays if needed, given some notice. I have fostered dogs and cats before while they waited to be re-homed. I also drive, so I am quite flexible regarding location and can visit the pet’s owner's home. I will follow their routines and care needs depending on the pet. I live in a two-bedroom house with a good kitchen and living room. I go for walks quite often, so exercise wouldn’t be a problem, and I also have a fenced backyard of around 10m x 5m. If I'm caring for the pet at the owner’s house, I will adhere to their rules and continue with their daily routine. I also drive, so I am quite flexible with locations, whether going to the pet owner's home or taking them to bigger parks. I would send the owners daily updates in the form of videos and photos, depending on their preferences. I am quite flexible and able to adapt to different routines.
About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ashfield is £33

Gabriela looked after our spaniel Murphy. Murphy does not get on well in kennels and likes his own environment and routine. So we decided to take a leap of faith and seek external help to enable us to have a much needed weekend away. We have in the past had family members care for him, but that is not always convenient for them We were nervous about leaving him with a home sitter But as soon as we met Gabriela our nerves were settled she is a delightful and very kind person and she took wonderful care of our much loved pet. She got on with his quirky ways and embraced his eccentricity. She followed his routine to a tee and we came home to a very happy boy. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed We will certainly be asking her to look after him again Thank you so much Gabriela hope to see you soon
Lily was all we could have asked for. After needing a last minute booking due to family circumstances, she stepped up to the mark. She pushed herself out of her comfort zone, managing our chickens and ducks, plus one of our dogs needing twice daily injections. She updated us regularly with photos and videos, was attentive and respectful with our home, and even came gifting flowers and chocs due to the aforementioned (sad) circumstances we needed to head to South Wales urgently to be part of. 100% recommended
Emily has been absolutely fantastic as a dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was incredibly polite and professional, and her genuine passion for dogs really shines through. She offers a thorough meet and greet where she takes the time to ask detailed questions, making sure she fully understands your dog’s needs and routine. This gave me so much confidence leaving Blossom in her care. Blossom had a wonderful time with Emily, and I really appreciated the regular updates, it made me feel completely at ease while I was away. On top of that, my home was left in perfect condition, which was such a lovely touch. Communication throughout has been excellent, and she’s just a genuinely lovely person to deal with. I’ll definitely be using Emily again, I’ve already booked her for more dates this month and next!

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 Ashfield walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Ashfield, the price of house sitting can vary between £21 and £46 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Ashfield 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
