“Corina is absolutely lovely & we have no reservations about booking her again & again. This was the second time. She took our fur baby out for a decent walk & sent a photo with update. It's like leaving your precious pooch with a trusted family member. Highly recommend 😊”
“Kirsten was absolutely perfect for our dog Bertie she went above and beyond in caring for our elderly dog in what turned out to be a heatwave weekend. Plenty of photos and messages meant that we were able to feel happy about leaving him to attend our sons wedding”
“Emily took great care of our dog Aggy at our home. Very communicative and kept me updated throughout. I’d highly recommend Emily for dogsitting and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Hayley! She cared wonderfully for our elderly, anxious cat who needs daily medication and lots of attention. She kept us reassured with updates and photos, formed a lovely bond with him, and also cared for our fish and kept the house tidy. If I could give more stars, I would — highly recommended!”
“Maria was amazing, she looked after our very anxious dog with great care, love and kindness. She was calm and patient with Bonnie, she looked after her in our home and sent lots of pictures and updates during our holiday. Thank you Maria! I would absolutely recommend Maria and feel very grateful to her for the care and love she gave to Bonnie.”
About: I grew up with 4 cats, 20 birds and 1 huge dog. I have looked after small dogs like Cockapoos and big ones like Pomskys. Can provide basic training to pups and dogs. I work from home and my weekends are mostly free. This gives me enough time to look after dogs and other animals. I can take them on long walks either in the park behind our house, or around the lake in Danson Park. I have a fenced garden and our house backs onto a large open park. Dogs are supervised when in the garden and we have 2 pet cameras set up downstairs to keep an eye on our puppy 24/7.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, never having known life without one! I’ve personally owned labradors and Great Danes, but also have experience with other dogs such as greyhounds and spaniels, along with a variety of cats! Additionally, I’ve had a host of other pets, including lizards, chickens, horses, and rabbits, just to name a few! I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Some of my dogs have been puppies, and some I have rehomed when they were in older age. Therefore, I have experience with dogs who may be more nervous or unsure. We’ve kept our dogs for their whole lives, and so I am very well equipped to care for the youngest pups to the oldest dogs! Alongside this, I have completed work experience placements with a canine physiotherapist, and have had hands on experience with dogs in need of extra special attention and support. I enjoyed seeing dogs thrive under this care. Every dog deserves love, and I can promise I can provide that by the bucketful. I will treat your dog as my own, and I can ensure your best friend will be in safe hands. I am a full time student, and so over the summer I have no regular commitments, and therefore I am free at almost any day and time. I can very easily drive, take public transport, or cycle to your home in order to provide service. Due to being a student, I am available for durations and times that many other individuals may struggle to provide. I will also be able to adapt very easily to any need to change schedules, or fit in with your own plans. First and foremost, I believe that it is crucial that all pets feel comfortable safe and happy when in a new situation. I am happy to do free introduction sessions, where you are present, so that your fur baby can get used to me as a new presence, and you can ensure that you feel comfortable with me caring for your pet, whilst also ensuring you have provided all information that I may need. I am used to anxious and shy pets, and so this does not phase me, and I understand that different pets may have different requirements or need different things from me as a caregiver. I will ensure that your pets comfort is always my utmost priority.
“Wonderful Anika looked after Oscar on Saturday and we were so happy to have her. Oscar was pretty anxious at first but Anika put him completely at ease and it wasn’t long before he was licking her and playing with her. Anika updated me during the evening and at no point did we feel anxious or worried about leaving Oscar in such safe hands. We are so happy we’ve found Anika and will not hesitate to book her again. She’s fabulous 😃”
“Ryah was fantastic and i will absolutely be booking her again! Eddie was so happy when I got home and he even played during the day which doesn't normally happen unless he's really relaxed. Ryah took great care of our house as well”
“James and Jade are fantastic! Very friendly and they both genuinely care and love pets. They were looking after our 2 dogs while we are away and we had no concerns whatsoever; taking them out, feeding them and spending time with them gave us the peace of mind we needed so we could relax on our holiday. They both are trustworthy and excellent pet carers, daily check ins and a text to let us know all is well! Couldn’t recommend more and we will definitely be using them again in the future! Thank you both!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid, my family has always had animals around the house so I know how to look after and care for them. Throughout the years we've had over 20 cats, we were like a local rescue who took in the strays and loved them until the end. We got our family dog, Jack, when I was around 6 and I literally grew up with him (he was only a pup at the time, as we rescued him). The cutie is still going strong today :) I'm currently working part-time on Friday and Saturdays but can pop in after 4pm so just pop me a message if you need an evening appointment. I also am a university student however I am on summer break now so until September my days are free!! I live in a flat so our house is very secure with little chance of escape, we do have a massive field in the back to stretch the cuties legs. There is also two parks in the local area for longer walks and runs :)
About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m warm, friendly, patient, and genuinely enjoy giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship. I have hands-on experience raising a Golden Retriever from a puppy until around the age of two, so I understand the care, patience, and consistency dogs need as they grow. I’ve also done many dog sits, looking after dogs with different personalities and routines, and I have owned a cat as well, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply someone calm and reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would give my own. I work full-time, but I work from home four days a week, which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for house sitting during the week and on weekends, and I’m able to fit pet care around my routine in a calm and reliable way. Because I’m home-based most of the week, I can give pets regular attention, companionship, feeding, playtime, and walks where needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels like a natural and enjoyable part of my day rather than just a task. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I’ll always treat both the pet and the home with respect. I’ll follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking schedules, medication if required, house rules, and any specific habits or preferences the pet has. I understand that pets can feel more comfortable when their usual routine is kept, so I’ll do my best to create a calm, safe, and familiar environment for them. I’ll make sure doors, windows, leads, food, and anything potentially unsafe are handled responsibly. I’m also happy to provide regular updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My aim is to make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable, while giving owners peace of mind that their home and pet are in trustworthy hands.
“Alelsandra did an incredible job of caring for our young kitten Pumpkin whilst we were away for a weekend. It was our first time leaving him but her lovely updates and photos reassured us and we came home to a very happy and content boy (and a spotless house). We highly recommend Alelsandra and are booking her to look after him again this summer. Thank you so much!!”
About: Hi! I’m Chloe and I have just finished my degree to become vet at the university of Surrey. I’ve had a lifelong passion for taking care of animals. Alongside learning the best of care during my studies, I have previously dog/cat sat and walked for my friends, neighbours and family. I am confident handling all sorts of animals from big to small, and will adapt to any specific needs (just let me know beforehand) :) I’m currently working part-time and have lots of free time during this summer to look after your lovely pets! I’m pretty flexible with timings - so happy to work around individual needs. I will listen to all instructions on your pets needs and will endeavour to keep your pets safety and happiness a top priority. Please inform me beforehand to any additional or special needs!

This was the first time I went away on holiday and was apprehensive about getting a cat nanny to begin with as I usually leave him with family. However, I found Teri-Jayne on cat in a flat and loved her profile so I ended up enquiring about booking her to look after my precious boy. She came to meet my baby and myself before the holiday and instantly we clicked and it was such a genuine connection. During my holiday, I also got daily updates from her with pictures and videos which assured me that he was in good hands. She is absolutely exceptional at her job and my baby ended up loving her straight away. I would highly recommend booking Teri-Jayne as she is trustworthy and goes above and beyond for your pet. She will now be my trusted person I book with whenever I go on holiday. Thank you Teri-Jayne for being so kind hearted, trustworthy and an overall incredible person! Xoxo Nina & parsley
Sacha and Gina were absolutely wonderful with Aria. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and caring, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear Aria was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving sitters!
Kirsten was absolutely perfect for our dog Bertie she went above and beyond in caring for our elderly dog in what turned out to be a heatwave weekend. Plenty of photos and messages meant that we were able to feel happy about leaving him to attend our sons wedding
Baloo and I are so happy to found Bethan. Honestly, she is the best. You can see right away how she truly cares about animals, great communication skills, she left my place spotless when I came back. Bethan shared pictures and videos and kept me updated at all times. I'd definitely book with her again!
Sophie looked after our chow chow and was extremely professional, she greeted our dog with a gentle approach and let him decide when he wants attention. She understood his aloof traits and took good care of him with regular updates whilst I was away. Sophie also took good care of the house and kept everything very clean. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a house sitter to take care of your pets and I will book Sophie again when I go away and finally it’s good to find someone that takes good care of my dog that whilst I was away I was able to relax.
Freya was excellent from start to finish, whether that was being easy to deal with, being flexible to changes in our travel plans, or being instantly trusted and liked by our dog, Milo. We will definitely use Freya's services in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.
Thoroughly recommend Jessica for dog sitting and walking. She was kind enough to come over for a pre meet and wasn’t fazed by our excitable schnauzer, who was very quickly comfortable around her- Jessica is clearly a dog lover. She kept us updated throughout with photos and videos and our dog seemed to have a great time with her. Will definitely be booking Jessica again!
Katie looked after our two furbabies recently for a long weekend and we couldn't be happier with her service. She is professional and a very competent dog handler but also loved them like they were her own. We received regular pupdates and we could relax knowing they were in very safe hands indeed!
Alelsandra (Ola) house sat for our 10 month old kitten Anko. He quickly became comfortable and affectionate with her and I could see that she has a lot of experience with cats. Ola is professional, friendly, prompt and provided regular updates on Anko over the course of the day. Anko seemed very happy to have her around.

The average cost for House Sitting in Bexley on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 Bexley 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 Bexley 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. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
