“Neetal is great! She has looked after our greyhound a couple of times including an overnight stay. She gives us regular updates on how our dog is doing. We will definitely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Richard was brilliant. He came to see us before I went away to meet us which I thought was so kind because he got used to Ajax and we could talk a bit more about his habits and needs. We also took Ajax for a walk as he can be a bit reactive but Richard was perfect with him. Richard kept me updated throughout my trip with information and photos of what they were doing which meant that I was completely relaxed on my holiday. Richard left my place clean and tidy and I would not have known he’d been there! Thank you Richard you’re amazing!!”
“Ighodalo was excellent with Gofio. He house sat for us for 18 days. He looked very well after Gofio and kept us up to date. From the pictures it looked like they had a lot of fun together. He was very respectful of the house and followed our instructions regarding his medication and care. We'll try to book him again when we next go away!”
“Izzy was great with our 3 cats and dog. I loved the way she connected with each of them and described their characters perfectly. I’m so glad we now have a reliable sitter, who truly loves animals and is responsible with regards to our house security.”
About: Hi! I'm Melissa, and caring for animals has always been one of the biggest passions in my life. For the past 10 years, I've volunteered with animal rescue organisations in both the UK and China, where I've had the privilege of caring for animals and helping them find loving forever homes. During that time, I've fostered six cats in the UK, as well as five adult dogs, two puppies and a kitten in China. Every animal has taught me something new, and I've become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines and needs. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles or simply a calm companion to keep them company, I'll take the time to get to know them and care for them as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in safe hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I have full-time availability and a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate weekdays, weekends and last-minute bookings. I'm happy to discuss your pet's routine and work around your preferred drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. I provide a safe, calm and caring environment where every pet is treated like part of the family. My home is a bungalow with no stairs, making it suitable for pets of all ages, including senior dogs or those with mobility issues. I also have a fully fenced and secure garden where pets can safely enjoy time outdoors under supervision. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I'll follow their usual feeding, exercise and sleeping schedule as closely as possible to help them feel settled. I'm experienced using crates if this is part of your pet's routine and will always respect your preferences and instructions. There are several lovely parks and walking routes nearby, and I have access to a car, allowing me to take dogs on regular walks or travel if needed. Having volunteered with animal rescue organisations and fostered both dogs and cats, I'm experienced caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I always take the time to ensure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Neve was fabulous looking after our Wire Fox Terrier, Marty, for over a week whilst we were on holiday. In advance of us leaving, Marty had been seriously ill and was on three different medications that were administered four times a day so it was a relief that Neve wasn't at all fazed and was more than capable. Neve was a great communicator and regularly sent photos of Marty enjoying his walks and sunbathing. Would highly recommend Neve.”
“I can’t thank Merrily enough for looking after my dog while we were away. She took care to find out his daily routine and his likes and dislikes so that he would be happy and relaxed. Merrily went the extra mile to ensure his happiness and kept me up to date with lovely stories and photos about his adventures each day. She is a real natural with dogs and I know my dog now has a special friend! I thoroughly recommend Merrily.”
“Drew was great. My dog is pretty anxious and this was his first time staying with someone who wasn't family, and he absolutely loved Drew. Had a great time, lots of walks and Drew was very good at sending updates and pictures. My dog has dog reactivity and Drew managed it very well, and even helped him make some new doggy friends. Would absolutely recommend Drew.”
“Wish we could give 10 stars! Ross took amazing care of our cat Big G while we were away on holiday and left our home super tidy for when we came home. Will definitely book again!”
“Jessica is amazing! We have a 4 month old puppy and he was very happy to spend time with her! Also she gave us some great advices about dog and did everything as we asked her. So I would definitely recommend her to everyone!”
“Lucie was great and communicated well with us and provided lots of pictures of Maisie. Also really appreciate she was great with handling some unexpected garden building work next door and plumbing issues! Thank you very much and would definitely use her again.”
“Alexandru was a star housesitter. He looked after our very old dog during the heatwave which must have been really challenging. The house was spotless and I will definitely book him again, if he will have us.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Banstead is £35

Grace was an absolutely amazing sitter.she gave us daily updates and photos as we had asked her to. The house was clean and tidy on our return. We would not hesitate to use her services again, she gave us the confidence to go away again and leave our precious fur baby in her capable hands.
Lucie was great and communicated well with us and provided lots of pictures of Maisie. Also really appreciate she was great with handling some unexpected garden building work next door and plumbing issues! Thank you very much and would definitely use her again.
I can't recommend Sabrina highly enough. She won over a very tough customer, my chihuahua with separation anxiety, with remarkable ease. Normally, it takes my dog several visits with a new sitter before she's calm and relaxed when I get home. But after her very first time with Sabrina, she was completely at ease and showed no signs of anxiety. That was incredible and brought me great peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book Sabrina again.
Julia did a great job looking after Kiki. She arranged a meet and greet to get to know Kiki and understand her needs prior to the sit. She was easy to communicate with & did a great job looking after Kiki during the sit. I would happily have her look after Kiki again.
Jamie was a fantastic house sitter and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after Kaos and Kovu. From the moment we met him at the introduction, he built an instant rapport with them, which immediately put us at ease. His communication throughout our time away was excellent. He kept us updated and reassured, which meant a lot to us while we were gone. Kaos clearly had a wonderful time with him, enjoying plenty of long walks and attention, and Jamie was incredibly gentle and affectionate with our Bengal cat, Kovu. It was clear that he genuinely cared about the boys and took the responsibility seriously. We came home to two very happy pets and a well-looked-after home, which is exactly what every pet owner hopes for. We would absolutely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive house sitter.
Alexa was amazing. Not only did she take such great care of Monty, she made him feel exactly like we do by taking him with her while out with friends, enjoying walks in parks, and playing with him at home. She took extra special care of him and sent us plenty of pictures throughout our weekend away. Would definitely recommend her :)

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 Banstead 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 Banstead, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £58 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 Banstead 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.

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.
