Alina is absolutely wonderful. She stayed with our dog Dash for a long weekend. Dash is a little shy at first but he warmed up to her quickly because she understood how to set him right at ease. By the end of her stay she was sending us videos of him bouncing around excitedly before his walks! Her communication was great, lots of photos and videos, and she asked plenty of questions to make sure she understood his needs (and ours!). I came home to a happy dog and a house just like I left it. A+

Natalie and Sarah recently took care of our Labrador, Sierra for a couple of days. They were super communicative before and during the booking, took good care of the house, and sent lots of pictures, which was great. Most importantly, our dog was very comfortable and happy with them, from the very first meet and greet. They even took her to the beach one day, which she loved. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and Natalie and will definitely book with them again!

Cannot recommend Chanice enough!! She was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dachshund Layla with somebody not that was not our family and we were really anxious. Chanice was so accommodating to us and completely made us feel at ease from our first communication. She was brilliant with Layla and we were immediately at ease on our holiday. She sent us constant updates which was so great! Thank you Chanice!!

Heidi was absolutely wonderful! It was our first time away from the puppy and we were all fairly nervous about it. Heidi gave us fabulous updates with lots of pictures, clearly took loving care of our pup and, as my kids said "Luna is having the time of her life!" We can't wait to get Heidi back!

She kept us updated and gave him plenty of walks which he was delighted about. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house, so very happy 😊

Kyra is an excellent pet sitter. She kept me updated routinely on my pets and I definitely felt like they were in good hands. When I returned home my place was clean and in good condition and my dog and 2 cats seemed relaxed and happy. I would definitely schedule her for petsitting in the future.

About: Hi! We’re Andy and Caitlin — lifelong animal lovers and experienced pet owners who know that pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. Caitlin has an older cockapoo named Bobby, and Andy has grown up with large breeds, including a St. Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog/Collie mix, so we’re comfortable with dogs of all shapes and personalities. While we’d love to walk and spend time with big dogs, our home is best suited for small to medium-sized pups right now. We’re both extremely caring and affectionate — expect plenty of cuddles, playtime, and company for your furry friend. In our home, pets are welcome on the sofa, and yes, they’re more than welcome to curl up on the bed too! Your pet will be treated like one of our own, with lots of love and attention while you’re away. 🐾 We both work a hybrid week — three days in the office and two from home — which means there’s always someone around during weekdays, especially for drop-ins, walks, or day care. Weekends are completely free, and we love spending them outdoors running, taking long walks, or relaxing in dog-friendly spots (often with a pint of Guinness in hand!). We’re happy to fit pet care around our flexible routine and make sure your furry friend gets plenty of love, exercise, and attention throughout the week. 🐾 We live in a safe, peaceful area with plenty of nearby green spaces and dog parks — perfect for walks and playtime. As lifelong animal lovers, we’re both naturally caring, attentive, and careful people, especially when it comes to looking after pets. We understand how important it is to meet each dog’s individual needs — from exercise and feeding routines to cuddles and quiet time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our top priorities, and we’ll treat them with the same love and attention we give our own. ❤️🐶

About: I am 39 year old lady who is an avid cat lover based in the BT9 area. My friends would often describe me as 'the crazy cat lady' who has more cat friends than human friends. I grew up with cats and I found their company exhilarating and therapeutic at the same time. I adore cats and get along with all breeds of cats. My neighbours can verify that. Over the years, I have looked after a pregnant mummy cat and her kittens and an elderly cat.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with both cats and dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I also volunteer at an animal shelter, where I help look after animals with different personalities, needs and backgrounds. I’m patient, caring and happy to take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and safe. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection and reassurance. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, as I only work part-time two days a week from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. This gives me plenty of free time throughout the week for visits, feeding, playtime, walks and keeping pets company. On the days I work, I am still available in the afternoons and evenings, and I can be flexible around each pet’s usual routine. I always make safety and comfort my main priority. In my home, pets have access to a secure, fully fenced garden and a calm, welcoming environment. I also have a friendly grey Russian Blue cat called Wally. He is used to other animals, has a gentle nature and usually spends much of his time outdoors. Any introductions would always be done slowly and supervised to make sure every pet feels comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and keep to the pet’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine. I make sure doors, gates and windows are secure, keep the home tidy and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, happy and well cared for.

About: Used to be a cat owner, have always looked neighbours’ animals. I haven’t had a dog but my neighbours have only had dogs and so I am very used to them. I also used to volunteer in a vets. I wfh and have a car so am happy to break up the day. I would prefer to mind your pet in your house so that they are more familiar with their surroundings. I have a fenced garden and sadly no pets anymore. I would prefer to mind them in your home as it is what they are familiar with and know. As long as I have been told where everything is and where they are allowed/not allowed I am happy to mind them wherever.

About: While I am new to Rover and professional dog sitting experience, I have lots of hands on experience caring for dogs through both my own doggie - Roo (Jackahuahua) - and looking after dogs and cats for the families I babysit for. I often have responsibility and primary care of Roo whenever my parents go away on holiday, we love to go on long walks through forests and beaches (especially the places where it’s quiet and she can run free!) I always make sure Roo is fed, watered and comfortable to ensure all those good doggie cuddles, and to make sure she’s well looked after too, of course! Through years of babysitting experience, I have had to take care of both children and pets in the families’ homes. This can be tough, but very rewarding as I learned how important patience, attentiveness and staying organised in a busy environment like these can be. I am confident handling different routines, learning the needs of different pets and making sure pets always feel safe, calm and comfortable in my care Pet care fits well into my routine, especially on weekends when I am fully available for dog sitting, longer walks and giving your pet plenty of attention. During the week I work Mon-Fri 9-5 but would definitely be available during the evenings for evening walks or drop-in visits depending on location (especially with the brighter weather coming our way!). I always make sure any pets in my care gets my full attention, time and consistency When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel as comfortable and safe as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine. I try and figure out their personalities and work with them instead of trying to get them to act a certain way, if they want space, they’ll get space but if they need attention they’ll get my attention. The pet’s needs are my biggest priority. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks and any specific needs. In my own home, I provide a clean, safe and calm environment where pets can relax, play and feel at home. I make sure that pets get plenty of attention, exercise and companionship and I’m always attentive to behaviour and wellbeing. I am also very happy to provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel reassured when they’re away

About: I’ve been helping my neighbours and friends take care of their dogs and cats, and I also have hands-on experience caring for cats and bunnies. I’m patient, gentle, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals — I don’t mind looking after other types of pets either! Whether it’s feeding, walking, or giving them some extra affection, I always make sure they feel safe and happy. I currently work part-time, so I just need at least one day’s notice to arrange my schedule. Once confirmed, I’ll make sure to give your pet my full attention and care during the booked time. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, making sure pets are fed and have fresh water as provided. I love spending time playing with them, giving cuddles, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. If they enjoy going out, I can also take them for up to an hour of walking and outdoor playtime.

We cant thank Niall and Henrique enough for taking such good care of our miniature schnauzers Winston and Zach. We were so nervous leaving them as they have never stayed with anyone but family before and we know they can be very barky!! Lol From the initial meet and greet we knew the boys would be very well cared for and loved like their own. Winston and Zach even pulled on the lead to get into their house as we dropped them off! Niall and Henrique were very responsive, sent regular updates and photos/videos and the boys looked like they were having the time of their lives. We cant recommend these guys enough and we will definitely be using them again in the future. Thank yous so much!

Caitlin has dog sat for me at least 8 times (including before she was on Rover). My dog absolutely loves her and is always very well looked after. Caitlin does his training exercises with him, walks him, feeds him and keeps him well entertained. My dog is always super excited to see her which makes leaving him very easy. Caitlin always sends updates of what they are getting up to throughout the day and there has never been any issues. Caitlin dog sits at my house and has always looked after the place very well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Belfast

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Belfast on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 258 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Belfast. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Belfast 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 Belfast 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.
