About: I have been pet sitting for quite some time now and have experience sitting for an array of breeds and dogs of differing ages right from the puppy stage all the way to more elderly dogs requiring a slower and more relaxed pace. I have also pet sat for dogs of differing sizes and breeds and can provide longer walks for more high energy, younger dogs. I have grown up with pets all my life, having owned miniature schnauzers since the age of ten. I absolutely adore them and can assist in caring for any range of age of dogs from young puppies to elderly, both through the experience of owning my own pets and the other dogs that I have cared for. My experience in sitting for others ranges from a lively cocker spaniel puppy recently to an elderly shih tzu and I would love to leave others with a peace of mind that their pet is being well cared for in their absence. I can also teach some tricks, such as roll over and paw depending on how cooperative your pup is :) (My mini schnauzer took some convincing and lots of treats 🤣) When I am not required to be in the office or travel for work (i would mark myself as unavailable/not accept bookings in these cases) I have great flexibility and can work from home so I would be able to accompany your pet all day and take them out for multiple walks throughout the day, they would not need to be alone for stretches of time over an hour or so, and even then I can adjust my schedule to ensure any anxious pets that need more company are not left alone and I am with them. I enjoy long walks daily so your pet would be well cared for and well walked. I have a large outdoor balcony with a high and contained fence but also I live beside large green spaces more importantly with great areas to walk the pets. I am also located beside Victoria Park for long walks and fresh air. My apartment is well locked up and no easy access at all for pets to get out onto the street as it is on the third floor and doors and windows can all be easily secured. It is also not overly cluttered and there is very little in terms of hazards, Overall I would be a available to stay in the home of the pet if you would prefer that and am willing to travel within London to accommodate this.
“Natalie and her partner were great. Very communicative, has received messeges every day. My wee dog came back home happy, tired and well-cared for. Will recommend to my friends and book again. Thank you girls!!!”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: I grew up with many animals around me - From childhood dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes and axolotls ! I have an extreme passion for animals and not being able to have my own animals in a rental has got me severely missing having a furry friend around. I’ve raised many sizes of dogs from a jack russell to a mastiff, and love all breed equally ! As well as taking care of my personal family animals i have dog and cat sat for many family friends :) I work 9-5, Mon- Wed , so my evenings and weekend are free along with Thursdays and Fridays . I’m very active so long walks/ Hikes are no problem , I also drive so getting to your dogs favourite location is easy ! In your home I am happy to feed, brush, bathe and take care of all your dogs needs ! I am familiar with dog training and am happy to follow any rules or wishes you have for your dog regarding crating , commands and tricks to keep them happiest and healthiest
“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+”
“Great dog sitter! And a bit of a lifesaver. We have just made a big move and one of our dogs is really anxious as a result. Rebecca came to watch over both girls whilst I managed to get a little escape to the theatre. Rebecca kept everyone calm and well cuddled and took the girls out for their breaks. Incredibly happy for Rebecca’s kind and calm attitude. 100% will ask Rebecca to come back to us again!”
“Couldn’t recommend Joshua enough! My boys were very well looked after and had a great time! The photos and videos he sent made that very apparent ☺️ one of my dogs can be strange with men but after a walk they were instant friends! Will most definitely be booking with them again ☺️ thank you again! Especially from Chase and Enzo!!”
“Paige looked after Missy for 8 nights (house / dog sitting). She gave us so much confidence from the first meeting, and communicated brilliantly while we were away. It was really clear that she had listened really carefully to details about Missy's medication and health conditions. There were plenty of photos and daily summaries of what she had been up to with Missy, and it was clear even from the photos that Missy was absolutely loving life. The only problem we had was when we came home. Missy seemed a bit disappointed that her new best friend wasn't staying :-).”
“Caitlin is the most attentive and considerate cat sitter we could have asked for. Not only did she charm our shy cat in a blink, she also sent regular updates with photos and details about our wee man. I highly recommend Caitlin and we will most definitely ask her to mind Dillin again!”
“Shannon was absolutely fantastic! She looked after Patrick in our home on the day after our wedding and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. 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 😊”
“I cannot praise Aimee enough! She was wonderful with my nervous boy, she came to meet him before her stay & he was so happy to see her again! Bert is looking forward to having her stay in the summer”
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.
“Sharon was absolutely excellent! We got tons of updates on them while we were away. They were happy as ever when we got back. Our home was also very clean and tidy when we returned. Our 2 dogs have very different needs and Sharon saw to them perfectly. Definitely hope to be able to have her care for the dogs again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs and small animals my whole life! I am well experienced with both low-energy level as well as high-energy level (I grew up with Australian Cattle dogs), and so am able to provide an environment that is mentally enriching and suited to your pet! Additionally, I've had rabbits and guinea pigs in the past, and so am used to managing the needs of unique/diverse animals. I am currently enrolled in my Masters of Law online, and so spend majority of my day in or right around the flat studying. I do work part-time in a bar, but this is only a 2 minute walk from my house, and at the moment I am only working Saturdays, so your pet would never be left alone too long. As I am home most of the day, your fur baby will always have the option of my attention. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I take several small walks a day already to maintain a clear head. I am also only around the corner from the Botanic Park, so outside time can be easily adapted to your pets needs!
“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!”
“Caoimhe was very helpful and responsive when I made a booking. Both dogs were very happy when I got back and she left the house exactly as she found it. She was very reassuring and sent several updates photos of the dogs. I would recommend and rebook!”
“Patricia went over and beyond in looking after Milo and we came back to a very settled dog. She assisted by picking him up early on the day of departure and dropping him back on the day of return. Patricia kept us informed as to Milo's wellbeing and at all times we felt that he was in the best hands and in the company of someone with vast experience in dealing with dogs. Milo even got the benefit of a few day trips away! We literally could not have picked a better person to look after our dog. Could not recommend highly enough.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Belfast is £32

Rudi had a wonderful time with Louisa. He was maybe disappointed to see us return! Louisa dog sat in our home. Rudi was walked, played with , pampered in every way including shower and blow dry . He can be anxious but he did not seem to be at all and ate all his meals. Louisa kept in regular contact sending us lots of photos regularly. We returned to a happy dog and immaculate house. I definitely recommend Louisa. She is lovely, caring and responsible.
If your struggling to pick someone to look after your furbabies. Pick Shannon. She has a amazing understanding of what dogs like and dont. Shannon looked after my dog and I will 100% rebook her. My dog Koda who is a Belgian Malinois took to her straight away. She sends you up dates of your dog and videos. She also looked after my house. ❤️
Alina is a wonderful sitter. She truly enjoys dogs and Dash is so excited to see her. The energy she has for longs walks with him (he’s an Australian Shepherd so lots of energy) is amazing. I enjoy her enthusiastic reports and the photos and videos she sends - I can see how very happy he is with her and it’s very reassuring. Her communication is excellent and she leaves the house just as she found it. A+++

Thank you sooo much for taking care of Tilly and our home at late notice for a week. Tilly gets really anxious every day but it was so nice to get updates of you giving her Lollies each day. She is really good since we got back which isn’t always the case. Thankyou so much.
Was a bit nervous about leaving Ollie while we go on holiday but he warmed to Chanice after the first meeting, we knew he would be well looked after whilst we're away. Chanice sent lots of updates, photos and even a few videos - of one happy boy! Allowed us to relax our holiday. Would recommend 110% will be booking Chanice from now on! Thank you x

Paige took excellent care of our dogs Charlie and Pippa in our home for a week. She was quick to respond to our initial messages, did a meet and greet with us and instantly filled us with confidence that the dogs would be very well looked after. She kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. She also kept our home tidy. Would 100% recommend to others. Thank you so much Paige.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 245 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.
