“Scarlett has looked after my pets twice now, including my giant breed dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she has shown them. I would highly recommend Scarlett as a pet sitter and will absolutely use her services again. Thank you, Scarlett.”

“Susan was a fantastic sitter. She was trustworthy and reliable. We met and chatted before and during the booking. Susan sent us regular videos and updates… which helped us to feel so assured when we were away. Or cat Maeve was relaxed and calm on our return- clearly, she was really well cared for by Susan. We certainly hope to re-book with Susan.”
“Thank you for staying at our house and looking after Olly. Laura made sure Olly was comfortable with her and took Olly out a few times before the house sit to get use to her. Laura kept us updated with messages and photos whilst we were away. Laura looked after our house to the standard we left it. We cannot thank Laura enough and would use Laura again without hesitation. Thank you Louise”

About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs almost my entire life. For the past 2 and a halve years I have been fostering dogs for a rescue, but I had to stop because I was required to go back into the office for work. I work from home on Friday and Monday though, so can dog-sit for long weekends I will provide multiple walks a day and make sure your dog(s) get enough play/attention. I work from home on Friday and Monday and the weekends are free. Our day would consists of multiple walks, time to play and cuddles.😁 I have been an experienced foster for rescue dogs, but had to stop because of work requiring me to go back into the office 3 days a week. Your dog will be well taken care of and they will get loads of attention. I will send updates every day.
“Teodora looked after our 9-month old whippet brilliantly. He's a bit of a handful but she handled him very well. We got its of update photos of him on walks with her and snuggling on the sofa which was really reassuring as it was the first time we'd left him. Would recommend Teodoro without reservation!”
“We have just used Hannah for a second time and were delighted once again. She looked after our cat at our home. She sent us lots of pictures and we could rest assured that both our furry friend and our house were fabulously well looked after :)”
“I had to use this app to each out last minute to find a sitter, due to a cancellation, and I couldn’t be more happy. Andreia was great with my dogs, especially consider one of them is a bit of a nervous wreck. Have booked more dates with Andreia and using her as my new sitter. Highly recommend.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the range of experience I’ve built over the years. I grew up with both a dog and a cat and was always the one responsible for their daily care. This gave me a strong sense of responsibility and taught me how important consistency and patience are. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Some were shy, some excitable, and others more challenging - but I learnt how to adapt and make each one feel comfortable and safe. These days, I often look after my sister’s two dogs (one of them quite a handful!) and occasionally pet sit for friends’ cats and dogs. I’m confident managing pets with big personalities and always follow routines carefully. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible job that allows me to plan my time around walks, feeds, and visits. I love being outdoors and walking, so taking dogs out for exercise is something I genuinely enjoy. At the same time, I’m equally happy to spend quiet time at home with pets who prefer company and comfort over long walks. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just being there so they’re not alone, I can easily adapt my day to fit the needs of each pet. When caring for pets, I always follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, play, and litter tray cleaning, so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient with all personalities - from playful puppies to independent cats - and adapt to what each pet needs, whether that’s energetic exercise, cuddles, or quiet company. At home, I have a secure fenced garden in a calm suburban area, perfect for dogs to enjoy fresh air and a relaxed environment for cats. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Ella was really good when she looked after my 4 month lab puppy! She gave him lot of love and attention and provided updates throughout the day! She also left my house very clean and tidy which was above and beyond! She really helped me out and have booked again with her. My puppy was tired for the rest of the day after lots of play and attention!”
“We honestly cannot recommend Anna highly enough! She stayed in our home for a whole week looking after our 4-month-old kitten, Jasper, and we couldn’t have wished for a better person to care for him. From the very beginning, Anna was amazing. She took the time to listen to all of our instructions, understood Jasper’s little routines and quirks, and made sure he had everything he needed while we were away. She was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and caring, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing Jasper was in the best hands. Anna kept Jasper entertained, played with him, gave him lots of love and attention, and always kept us updated with regular photos and messages. It meant so much being able to see what he was doing each day and know that he was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. The biggest compliment we can give Anna is how much Jasper loved her. He is only 4 months old and still getting used to the world, and although he doesn’t usually cuddle up with us very often, he became so affectionate and cuddly with Anna. Seeing him so relaxed and comfortable around her showed just how safe and loved he felt. It was clear that she built a real bond with him. Anna also looked after our home with so much care and respect. Everything was exactly as we left it, and she went above and beyond in every way. She was reliable, respectful, communicative, and genuinely passionate about looking after animals. Leaving your pet with someone can be stressful, especially when they are still a young kitten, but Anna made the whole experience completely worry-free. We came home to a happy, content, and well-loved kitten, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gave Jasper. Thank you so much, Anna, for being so wonderful with Jasper and for treating him like your own. We would absolutely love for you to look after him again in the future and would recommend you to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and loving cat sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs/cats/horses all my life and very passionate about caring for all pets. I have worked at a dog kennels since I was 13-19 years old as well as completing work experience at a vets so I have a wealth of experience. I have frequently participated in pet sitting for family and friends whilst they have been away as I’m reliable and trusting. I’m a secondary school teacher so available after 5pm on Fridays across anytime at the weekends. I am also free all day anytime during the school holidays e.g half terms and the 6 week summer holidays. I have a large townhouse with plenty of access to lovely walks nearby as well as a fenced garden with patio and grass. Dogs are allowed on furniture too for lots of cuddles and fun play time!
“Amy looked after our dog, rocky for a week in our home. Amy was happy to meet rocky prior to the stay and Rocky liked her straight away. Came back to a clean home and a very happy dog. Would definitely recommend and I will be booking again. Thanks Amy 😊”
“We've used Jessica a few times, she has never disappointed and on this occasion came to sit my puppy Willow on a last minute request. She sends regular photo updates and is great at letting Willow lead (ie. If she wants interaction or not as she is still young & shy with new people).”
“We could not be more grateful to Rachel. She was so wonderful with our staffy Ziggy, so respectful to our home and even did some training with Ziggy. Rachel sent lots and lots of updates and photos throughout the stay too and truly made us feel at such ease. I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel to look after your pet ❤️”
About: I've had dogs and cats all my life from little dogs to the big DDB kind and all those in between. I decided to turn what I love into my growing business. I'm DBS checked and pet first aid trained. I'm dog walking and sitting full time. So if your dog is at my home they'll just become another member of the family. I also have 2 boys aged 9 and 12 so dogs are well entertained and will be very loved while with us. Walks are taken at owners advice, so if your dog goes for 2 walks a day then they'll do that while with me. I do have a dog and a cat who get on with others. My cat actually doesnt care about others as long as they respect her space 😂We have a fenced off enclosed back garden. I am first aid trained and have a full DBS
About: Hi! My name is Kaitlin:) I’m a 28 year old who’s been around both cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I have also looked after friends and families pets along the way. My family dogs, both cocker spaniels, were with us from puppies to elders and our cat too, giving me the knowledge and experience to handle both and everything in between. I’ve cared for many animals over the years and know that each pet is completely unique with their own personality. I will treat your pet with all the love, care and respect I give to my own. I also know what it’s like to miss your pet when you go away for even the shortest amount of time, I’ll send regular updates on them to make sure you have a worry free trip. I do work full time but have the capacity to work from home. I can do drop ins and am happy to work around a schedule that you and your pet need. I’m also available most weekends too. I have a fenced garden where a dog would be safe to roam but they would need to get on with cats should they stay with us. I will follow your exact instructions and make sure your pets routines aren’t interrupted too much whilst you’re away.

Thank you for staying at our house and looking after Olly. Laura made sure Olly was comfortable with her and took Olly out a few times before the house sit to get use to her. Laura kept us updated with messages and photos whilst we were away. Laura looked after our house to the standard we left it. We cannot thank Laura enough and would use Laura again without hesitation. Thank you Louise
We needed a pet sitter who could live in our home and look after our male cats, Billy and Pablo, at short notice. Billy is old, sweet and vulnerable, whereas Pablo is a young, high-energy cat who loves to scratch the furniture, given half a chance. We wondered if we could find someone who could cope. As soon as we met Jasmine, she was such a lovely, caring person that our worries disappeared. It’s easy to see that Jasmine loves cats, and she knows how to handle them. She gave us photos and updates every day, and she didn’t panic when Pablo kept his distance at first because he is extremely wary of new people. Jasmine kept Billy and Pablo well-fed, Billy inside and Pablo outside, and reported any concerns during her stay. She noted their feeding preferences and personality traits and made sure she had contact details for the vet. We only saw that Jasmine was in our home from the photos because the house looked ‘untouched’ and tidy when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Scarlett was booked for an over night stay with our two labs. Unfortunately on the first day Scarlett became unwell but was able to act fast and find us alternative cover to stay over night via her family member which we agreed to. Scarlett did make sure she was back to administer medications to our dog and to walk them. The dogs still had a lovely time ☺️
Teodora looked after our boy for the night. We had a meet and greet beforehand and they got along really well. Coady has health conditions and was able to care for him in a way best for him. Our house was in the same condition we left it in and we couldn't have asked for a better person to look after him! Thank you Teodora
We were absolutely delighted with Keishia. Her communication is excellent, she took time to come and visit us and see our three dogs prior to sitting. Our dogs are very different in requirements with one being nervous, one blind and one hyperactive. Keishia managed each of their needs perfectly. She respected our property, keeping it to our stansards of clean and tidy, We cannot sing her praises enough and eould very highly recommend Keishia to anyone without a hesitation Thank yoy Keishia. Maryin snd Sue, Choccy, Izzy and Marley

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Broxtowe on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 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 Broxtowe 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 Broxtowe 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.
