“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Tamara did an excellent job taking care of our Fred. Communication before we went on holiday was proactive and we got daily updates on how Fred was doing with photos. The house was left super clean and we would trust Tamara to look after our house and Fred in the future.”
“Best sitter Kaos ever had ! Coral took good care of Kaos and Kishmish for 3 days. They were happy, safe and well cared for. She followed the instructions I left. She kept the pets clean and groomed and updated me with photo and videos. I would feel confident to keep my pets with her again anytime!”
“Laura spent the day with my old dog Liesel in my flat. She followed all my (many!) instructions and kept me up to date - Liesel seems very content and tired which is always a good sign! Would absolutely recommend.”
“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!”
“Kenna house-sat for us while we were away, and we came home to 2 very happy and contented dogs. Kenna sent us regular photos and messages, helping allay any guilt we had about leaving them! We would highly recommend Kenna’s services and hope to welcome her to our home again.”
“Fred really enjoyed his time with Ayla. Ayla’s communication was brilliant and very grateful for looking after our Fred on such short notice. Super friendly and would recommend house or dog sitting to anyone.”
“Molly helped us out with a last minute booking! This is our second booking and would highly recommend Molly to anyone, always professional and Poppy (our dog) is always happy and relaxed with her.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and I have run my dog care business for nearly 3 years. I’m very passionate about what i do and care very deeply about the dogs I look after. I’ve got experience with highly energetic dogs and older slower ones and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes as I have two of my own who are very big, My older boy is disabled so I have lots of experience with special needs dogs. I also have experience with nervous and reactive dogs and take the time for them to get used me before I look after them I have endless patience when it comes to dogs and I happy to go for hour hike through the woods or an hour just potting around my local grave yard (which many of my clients love!) I run my own dog walking business so fitting you in with my routine won’t be a problem. I’m also free for dog walks and dog sitting throughout the week. Dogs will stay on the lead near road and livestock no matter their recall. I’ll always make sure your dogs are safe and well care for while they are under my care
“Lara did an excellent job at looking after our two boys! She kept us updated with what they were up to and sent some great photos over. The house was left spotless and the boys were happy and looked healthy too! I would recommend Lara 100% and will certainly book with her in the future!”
About: Hello! I’m originally from South Korea. In case you’re not very familiar with my country, I’d love to share a little about it. South Korea is a place where people truly love their pets. We have pet kindergartens, pet-friendly restaurants, and even cafés that host birthday parties for pets. Because Korea currently has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, pets are often treated like family members. If you visit Korea, you might even see strollers with little dogs inside instead of babies! As for me, my partner and I have a cat called JOJO. Her name comes from a character in a Japanese anime that I love. I hoped she would grow up brave like that character, but it turns out she is actually a very adorable — and very shy — cat. Over the past two years of raising JOJO, we’ve always been responsible for her, making sure she gets her regular vaccines, deworming, and check-ups. So far, she hasn’t had any serious illnesses. She was spayed at eight months old, has excellent behavior, is very confident at home, and doesn’t damage any furniture. When I first started living with JOJO, I realized that having a pet is not always easy. She used to wake me up at four in the morning, sometimes knocking over her water bowl to make noise. Once she even knocked a fish tank onto the floor, which made me worry that she might get hurt. That experience made me start learning more about animal behavior and pet psychology. Over time I learned that every pet has a unique personality. JOJO isn’t very motivated by food, but she loves playing. So now I spend about an hour every day playing with her, and she no longer wakes me up early in the morning. Instead, she quietly waits beside me until I wake up and then happily runs around the house. I’ve been living with JOJO for almost two years now. She has taught me patience and how important it is to respect every animal’s personality. I will take the time to understand your pet’s personality and care for them with the same love and patience I give to JOJO. To me, animals are not just pets — they are companions we grow and share our lives with. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. If you have a dog, please don’t worry! I’ve been walking friends’ dogs in Korea since middle school. I’ve walked small and medium breeds like Maltese and Teddy dogs, and I know how to make sure they have water and pick up after them. So you can rest assured I can handle that. For large dogs, I might not be able to walk them, but I’m happy to come to your home and spend the day playing with your dog. If you don’t mind a little “disturbance,” I can even send you a hundred photos in one day to keep you relaxed—haha! I’m currently on a legal visa and in the process of job hunting here in the UK. Because I haven't started a full-time role yet, I have a lot of flexibility and would love to hang out with your pets on a daily basis. I’m more than happy to tailor my care to your exact needs. If I’m looking after them at your place, I’d be completely comfortable with you having pet cameras—it’s a great way for you to stay connected and see how we’re getting along! If you don’t have one, no worries at all; I’ll send you plenty of photo and video updates throughout the day. "If you’d prefer to drop them off at my home, I’ll make sure JOJO (my cat) stays settled in our bedroom. This ensures JOJO feels safe while giving your pet plenty of space to roam and relax. I’ll be sure to keep you posted with lots of updates so you can see how much fun they're having!
About: Walking, training, picking up poop and mopping up wee - I've done it all! I've grown up with 2 large, energetic dogs and loved caring for them from puppies to seniors. I've done lots of obedience and agility training with my current Australian Shepherd who lives back home in Switzerland! I have regularly cat sit for my neighbour so am familiar with all things litter trays and dead lizards they may chose to leave at my feet. I comfortably looked after my aunt's 3 (slightly crazy) cats whilst she was on holiday. I am also a regular rider with knowledge of horse care and would be delighted to help with anyone's horse. I am a university student who is currently only in Uni 2 days a week! This means I am available to sit, care, visit, walk any day of the week except Thursday afternoons and Fridays. I am happy to come to the owner's home for whatever length of time is needed. I can visit several times a day, walk several times a day, stay with the pet for as long as necessary. Unfortunately my landlord does not allow pets so I'll have to come to you!
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been a house and pet sitter for the last 20 years. I am a fit, non smoking retired woman who loves to spend time with cats and dogs but am unable to have any of my own at present. I am retired and apart from a couple of mornings of voluntary work I am at home or enjoying my various hobbies. I am happy to consider short notice assignments. I cannot look after pets in my home but I am more than happy to come to you if close enough. I can visit for a couple of hours or stay overnight.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bath is £35
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Bath
Ania was fantastic! Excellent communication, loads of photos, really bonded with Betsy who seemed very calm and happy when we got home. It was very warm and Betsy was on some medication and Ania made every effort to keep Betsy cool and made sure she had the medication she needed. Our house was left lovely and clean, would definitely recommend!
Bruno had a great time! Got photo updates which was great to see how he was getting on. Communication was good the whole time, always quick to respond. Came home to a happy, chilled out dog and the house was clean too. Couldn’t ask for more — would definitely recommend and have already booked again!
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 :)

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.

Bryony was fantastic with our dog Juno. She was kind, caring, and really attentive to Juno’s needs, which gave us great peace of mind while we were at work. She was also very flexible with times and days, which we really appreciated. Juno clearly had a great time with her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Bryony again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bath on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
