“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.”
About: Ever since I can remember I have been surrounded with cats and loved every minute with them. Family and friends always know that they can rely on my to take care of their pets. Although I have not professionally looked after animals, I have been surrounded by them my whole life and have always had a close bond with animals. Thank you for reading! I am currently a student at university so my time is quite flexible. I also look after a cat which has been coming to my home every day and giving them plenty of play time and comfort! When looking after someones pet I always make sure to check with the owner of common places that their pet likes to go to, if they are indoor or outdoor, and things which make the pet happy, such as certain foods or ways to be pet. I also am completely able to follow a heavy detailed schedule, but may ask a few questions about certain details!
About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been surrounded by animals. Over the years, I've regularly looked after the pets of friends and family, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and care needs. A few years ago, I volunteered at a dog shelter in Cape Town, which strengthened my passion for working with dogs. Since then, I've cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments in my local community. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication when needed. Most of all, I have a big heart and a genuine love for animals. I'm honest, reliable, and attentive, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pets will be treated as if they were my own. I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, care, and attention, and I'll enjoy every moment spent with them. I always adjust my schedule to meet your pet's individual needs. As pet sitting is my full-time focus, I'll be with your pets for the majority of the day, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship. Your dog will enjoy regular walks suited to their personality and energy level, whether that's exploring the countryside, playing fetch at a local park, or socialising with other friendly dogs. Every walk is designed to keep them happy, active, and engaged while maintaining their usual routine. Safety and security are my number one priority. I will always discuss your dog's recall, temperament, and how they interact with other dogs and people, and I will carefully follow any advice or requests you provide. Your dog will only be let off lead with your permission and only in safe, secure areas. I aim to keep to your dog's usual routine so they feel comfortable and settled while you're away. If they enjoy the company of other dogs, I can provide group walks. If they prefer one-to-one walks, I will happily accommodate that too.
“A lovely man! Olive immediately took to Cymon and was very happy. The house was left as found, and bed sheets stripped (thank you!). I'd definitely recommend. Many thanks again”
“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!”
“Brooke was able to help with a fairly last minute request to house sit for 3 days for our 2 big doggos. I instantly felt at ease and knew they were going to be in very safe hands (and get lots of fuss!) Wouldn’t hesitate to book again, came home to two very happy dogs! Thank you very much for providing a great service and giving Ron and Juno all the cuddles.”
“Ayla kindly looked after our dog whilst we were out for the evening. She was really friendly and very communicative throughout the whole process. She gave us regular updates and was a pleasure to work with. Would recommend to anyone with a dog!”
“Renny is a delight. Alfie very chilled on our return and he had obviously had plenty of attention and been very well cared for. I would have no hesitation in recommending her”
“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!”
“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.”
“Charlotte was excellent. I was very nervous to book a cat sitter to care for Tilly, however Charlotte put me at ease during a pre-stay chat and I've returned home to a calm and happy cat, and a well kept house. Charlotte asked all the ideal questions about what Tilly likes/doesn't like and sent photos over the 4 night stay which reassured me to see Tilly was very relaxed in Charlotte's company. I would happily book Charlotte again.”
“We were really pleased with the care Tamara gave to our dogs. They were clearly well looked after, had lots of lovely outings, and we appreciated the regular photo updates while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you!”
“Micaela was absolutely wonderful. She is clearly an animal lover and so competent. We were so impressed and couldn’t have been happier. She sent daily updates with lots of photos, was helpful and flexible when we unfortunately had a delay to our flight and left the house in perfect condition. An absolutely perfect sitter that we highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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.”
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 looked after our 5 month old puppy in our home for 10 days whilst we were away on holiday. She was absolutely brilliant from the initial meet and greet and being so organised and prepared for the sit. To then looking after our puppy so well and taking the challenges of looking after a puppy in a heatwave in her stride. She kept us updated throughout and the house was absolutely immaculate when we returned. We would highly recommend Lara for any dog sitting.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”

Victoria stayed in our house for a week with our indoor/outdoor cat while we went away on holiday. She did a great job looking after Willow and fitting in with her routines and keeping us updated. She also left the place spotless. We would definitely book Victoria again! Thank you so much for enabling us to go away without worrying about our cat.
Madison was an absolute star. She came and looked after Eddie while we were at a wedding. She sent us photo updates of him and replied very quickly letting us know he was okay. The house was left clean and tidy. Madison is lovely and caring and looked after our boy very well. Thank you so much xx
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.
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 :)

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.

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.
