“Frankie was super friendly and great with Fia. She was proactive and sent photos and updates regularly, and left the house lovely & tidy. We’d definitely use her again! Thanks Frankie!”
“Isabella was absolutely fantastic, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or to ask her to come back. Luna is a timid cat and takes a while to get used to new people but Isabella won her over really quickly - not only that but Isabella was house-sitting through the heatwave and made sure Luna kept cool and safe throughout. This was the first time I have left Luna and was very reassured to know that Luna was in good hands. I'm so grateful - thanks Isabella!”
About: I create connections with all animals of all ages easily. I have pride in my relationship with animals and how much love I have for them. My family dog has been left in my own care since I was 14, taken care of multiple cats and used “borrow my doggy” multiple times in the past year. I am currently a part-time supervisor and attend university during term time. My hours are flexible as I work in hospitality and many of my lecturers are online. I have plenty of time to be with your furry friend, take them out and be company when you need. I live in a 5th floor flat with no garden, however easy access to areas to use the toilet. I live with one other person.
“Ian was an absolutely brilliant sitter. He was kind to our pets and provided frequent updates with pictures. We much a late change to our booking and he was far more accommodating than expected. Would 10/10 recommend using him.”
“Coral was fab with our 3.5 year old cockapoo Ginny. Ginny has separation anxiety and can be quite fussy at times but Coral was great with her and kept us updated with messages and photos which put us at ease. Would recommend and will definitely book with Coral again!”
“Ayla came to the rescue for us at short notice and we couldn’t be happier to have found her. She’s attentive, caring and thoughtful. I felt very happy leaving Remi with her.”
“I liked Anita the moment I met her. She is calm and warm and I felt great confidence in leaving her to look after our cats and our home while we were away for nearly 3 weeks. Its clear our cats felt comfortable in her presence, particularly one who can be slightly anxious and she regularly sent photos and updates on how they were doing which was reassuring. We returned home to a spotless house and a couple of very relaxed pussycats. I can highly recommend Anita and will definitely be booking her again.”
“We had a great experience with Rowen! She stayed with Kena for four days and kept us updated every day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She did an amazing job caring for our big dog, and we’re very happy with how everything went. We’d definitely recommend her and hope we’re able to find and book her again next time!”
“Ellie's been an absolute star! She looked after my old dog Liesel overnight while I was away, and she's been brilliant with everything - regular communication and photos, followed all instructions and left my flat lovely and tidy. Liesel seems very relaxed and happy (and tired, which I love coming back to!), I'm really grateful. Would 100% recommend :)”
“Lara was great with our 3 year old cockapoo Ginny. With the damp weather it must’ve been hard to keep her entertained too. We received updates and photos and the house was left in a great way. Would recommend Lara!”
“Natalie is experienced with dogs and quickly developed a rapport with our dog, Hugo. They clearly enjoy each others company. We will not hesitate to book Natalia again as we feel very confident in her dog/ house sitting.”
“Couldn’t recommend Mika enough, it was our first time leaving our fur baby (9 month kitten) for a couple of nights and she did everything possible to put our minds at ease. She was always reachable, sent us photo updates and videos and genuinely loved being with our little one. Couldn’t recommend her enough - she left the house as she found it and was really respectful of our space. If we go away again, it’s Mika we’ll be calling back to!”
“Tim took care of Kaos for a whole day while I was on a business trip. He followed instructions carefully and gave me priodic feedback with photos and videos. He took Kaos on fun walks and matched his energy in playtime. Kaos loved him immensely and I felt very confident that my puppy is in safe hands. Thank you Tim!”
“Really happy with the service provided by Ben. Great comms throughout, really nice and friendly, very confident with our two puppies and looked after them really well for us. It’s a shame we’re not local as we would definitely call on him more often.”
“We made a very last-minute booking with Renata to house sit and look after our dog Toby for 3 nights. Renata made friends with Toby immediately and looked after him beautifully, with regular reassuring messages and photos throughout our time away. Our home was also left extremely neat and tidy, which was appreciated on returning home. Recommended!”

Madison did a great job looking after Sonny and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She was very quick to respond to messages, arrived early so that she could meet Sonny and run through things before we left and gave regular updates. Sonny took to her immediately and was sitting on her lap even before we’d left. A great service and we felt happy as we drove away knowing Sonny was going to be very well looked after.
Hyeryeong (Amy) was absolutely fantastic. She kept me updated with photos and videos every day of our 16 day holiday and managed the heat wave and thunderstorm well. Both Dakota and Chief were well looked after and she was very respectful of our home. Would definitely book her again if available. Thank you so much!
Natalia was super reliable, she was able to help last minute and our doggie Hugo had a lovely time, having similar dogs herself I felt happy she was in control and comfortable with leaving her with all the animals. Can’t recommend enough and will be using her for overnight stays aswell as walks.
Hattie is a wonderful, kind person and she bonded so well with my labrador Clover. After our Meet&Greet I felt confident and happy with her abilities and personality to stay with Clover for the weekend in our home. We kept in touch regularly and I adored the photo and video updates of their walks, cuddles and time together. Thank you Hattie! I am very grateful and hope to book you again in future to have fun with Clover!!
Jess looked after my 13 year old dog Liesel overnight. Liesel loved her straight away, and Jess was really attentive to her usual routine and considerate around things like not taking her on walks during the heat of the day (we're having a heatwave). She also checked things like how often I wanted updates etc, so I felt really reassured that Liesel was in good hands. :)
Izzie was able to take on a booking quite last minute for my old dog Liesel, and when Liesel was also a bit unwell with a dodgy stomach. Izzie was brilliant, lots of great communication and managed Liesel's sickness which I can imagine wasn't the most fun to deal with! Highly recommend :)
Our 6 month old puppy, Poppy, spent 3 nights at Tim's house while we were away. We were nervous because it was our first time leaving her, but when we dropped her off she was instantly comfortable which put us at ease. Tim sent us updates twice a day (very good photography), so we enjoyed our holiday knowing that our Poppy was safe and happy. When we picked her up and took her home, she was our same old puppy, still loving and confident. We are so happy with how Tim looked after her and we would definitely go back to him. Thank you, Tim!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bath on Rover is £40.25 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 .

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 Bath walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
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 Bath choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
