“Sue took great care of my dogs, cats and chickens during our long weekend away. It gave me great peace of mind to know they were being well cared-for with regular updates. I wish I could have arranged better weather for her, but she took them out even though it was wet and the dogs would need a shower afterwards! Many thanks, Sue from Cath and all the critters.”


“Cody house sat with Luna and honestly she was great her. I could really tell Luna had a great time but more importantly Cody respected and carried out all Luna’s care instructions really well and looked after my house so well. I will definitely be using her again! 100% recommend!”


About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
About: I've been around animals since I can remember, mostly dogs but we've had a few cats as well. I've had 5 dogs in my life and most recently a puppy, so I know how to take care of a puppy such as crate and toilet training, playtime, and however old they are let them experience the outside and other dogs. also sadly the dog that has been around me since I was six past away earlier this year and ever since around last year he deteriorated quickly and had to help him into the garden and only could walk him up the drive way and let him sniff around so I think I have experience with senior dogs as well. I'm currently at Falmouth University studying Film however second year is coming to a close so I'll be free most days to take care of your pets. Currently I am available on most weekdays and weekends at midday and after. As a student my uni house doesn't allow pets but I'm more than happy to come to the owner's house and take care of the dog/s or cat/s while the owner is away, I know many places around Penryn and Falmouth to take them on a lovely walk.

“Tehya looked after Phoebe as if she was her own dog. I was kept informed with photos and messages and she left my home as clean and tidy as I left it. I will definitely be using her services again as it takes all the stress our of leaving my dog behind when I know she is so well looked after and happy.”

“Maisie is a lovely dog sitter - 100% reliable and great communication. The dogs were very happy on our return and Maisie coped brilliantly with them during the recent very hot weather. The house was left neat and tidy too. Thank you Maisie, until the next time!”

“Dagny and Jimmy had a chilled out house sit. Dagny took to Jimmy straight away, which is always a good sign! Gentle dog - sensitive sitter. We hope Jimmy will sit for us again, soon.”


About: Hi, I’m Annie 🐾🌲 I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mum to Winnie, my intelligent and loving Shihpoo. I provide small, home-from-home dog care with a maximum of 3 guest dogs at a time, so every dog gets genuine attention, patience and care. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I am licensed by Charnwood Council with a Higher Standards license, and am fully insured too. I’ve looked after dogs before and have experience with a special needs dog who had severe anxiety, separation issues and ongoing medical needs. This taught me the importance of understanding each dog as an individual, keeping routines consistent and creating a calm environment where dogs feel safe. I work from home, meaning your pup will have company, attention and care throughout the day. We have a secure fenced garden and live close to beautiful fields, perfect for relaxed walks and plenty of sniffing adventures 🌿 Winnie loves meeting new friends, but I always put each dog’s personality and comfort first. Whether your dog loves exploring, relaxing or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. My aim is simple: to give every dog the same love, patience and care I would want for Winnie. 🛡️ Higher Standards Licensed 🏡 Home-from-home care 🐾 Maximum 3 guest dogs 🌲 Calm, personal care I work from home, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My day revolves around making sure pups feel happy, comfortable, and loved. We start the morning with a lovely walk first thing, giving them time to explore, stretch their legs, and enjoy a good sniffari. After we come home, it’s breakfast time followed by cuddles, relaxation, and plenty of companionship while I work from home. Throughout the day, I’m around for attention, reassurance, and little breaks when needed. In the evening, we enjoy dinner and a gentle stroll to stretch our paws before settling down for cosy bedtime snuggles. I love creating a calm, home-from-home environment where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home-from-home environment for every pup in my care. I live in a lovely quiet area with a secure fenced garden, giving dogs space to relax, play, and enjoy some fresh air safely. We are surrounded by great walking spots, including fields perfect for exploring and enjoying a good sniffari. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and settled. Winnie is a friendly, sociable Shihpoo who loves meeting other pups, and we do have some friendly pup pals who may say hello along the way. However, I always prioritise each dog’s comfort and make sure introductions are calm and appropriate. My aim is to make every dog feel like part of the family while they’re with us — safe, happy, and very well cared for.
“Eden has been amazing. She looked after our two dogs on short notice and they absolutely loved her. Sent pictures of the dogs and kept me informed on issues that arose. Not only that but she left the house so clean and tidy. Perfect communication, perfect pet sitter. Will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Thank you so much to Jacqueline for looking after our dog Rocky so well. She came along to meet him prior to her booked sitting. Rocky took to her immediately as she has a lovely calm and friendly approach, and she was keen to understand Rocky”s routine. He was very excited to see her when she arrived for her stay over. Jacqueline kept us updated to his wellbeing and he was relaxed and happy. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline. Thanks again Gill”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and regularly look after pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, from young puppies to older dogs, and I’ll make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I work from home so am available mornings, lunchtime and evenings from 5pm onwards. I will be available most days in the week as well as weekends I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, well exercised, and given plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: I have had animals in my home since I was 8 years old. I have two very loving 13 year old cats and a 6 year old Labrador. I have also had experience with other people’s pets over a long period of time, gaining experience with a range of breeds, sizes and ages of pets. I am currently a final year student at Loughborough University, so my timetable is very flexible during the week, with lots of time to be at your house or pop in for a toilet break or company. I have many years experience with looking after both cats and dogs. I am very able to deal with different breeds, energy levels and sizes.
About: I used to run a boarding and walking business with my mum which I really loved but we recently had to close due to her relocating I now do this full time so I am always available and will often never leave the dogs unattended for any amount of time, unless you are happy for the dog to be left alone. I have water bowls and some pet supplies left over from when me and mum were boarding. I have recently moved onto a canal boat, it’s a wide beam with plenty of space and all amenities you’d expect of a house, the grounds in the marina are great for dogs and there are plenty of footpaths and walking routes near by.
“Leanne was absolutely wonderful! From the very first message, she was kind, professional, and so easy to communicate with. During the stay, she kept us updated with lovely messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our doggy was so happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Everything went perfectly, and it’s such a comfort to know we’ve found someone we can trust. X We’ll definitely be booking with Leanne again in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”

About: I’ve had dogs since the age of 2. I’ve dog sat for my friends, auntie, and new clients through Rover. Including, walking, feeding, grooming/bathing, playing, etc. I’m a loving dog mum who’s done tonnes of researching on various breed fulfilment. I enjoy researching about the needs of various breeds and will cater to your doggo. I’ve done various dogs trust training classes with my pups as well as working with a private award winning dog trainer. I love to meet up prior to providing services to get to know both owner and dogs, this way I create a great relationship and learn more about your pet directly… especially if they are quirky like mine! 😁 Currently my schedule is wide open. I’m undergoing an online course that can be completed in my own time. On the weekend, generally I wake up early, play some games with my dogs, they nap, then we go for a walk, I feed them and then do some training, and finally bedtime. I love to take them hiking or swimming or to a private dog park to do some agility too. I have plenty of spare crates and a fenced off garden that the dogs can run around and play in. If our dogs don’t get along which can sometimes happen, I have a separate household that can take care of mine whilst I take care of your dog(s). Although this is dependent on the timescale, I’m willing to compromise. I have plenty of enrichment games such as snuffle mats, food dispenser games, dog treat puzzles and various toys. So your dog will not be bored!
About: Since I was 6 years old I had hamsters and often found myself shocked at how my young friends would treat their pets. My pets have always been a priority - no “I’ll change their water later” mentality. I’ve grown up in a family who have always owned border collies which are very intelligent yet high maintenance dogs so I am used to having to give a lot of time and attention to dogs. I find being around animals very cathartic and I love to watch what they get up to. I am a keen runner so can take dogs that can handle it out running with me too. I’m in the process of setting myself up as a freelancer from home so will be able to do this whilst taking full care of your animals. Personally I allow my dogs on the sofa in the evening whilst watching TV and their beds have been in the living room too. However, I will listen to your specific requests and care for them accordingly. We have some carpeted rooms and a large open plan tiled kitchen/living area, a lovely big enclosed garden to run around and lots of toys/footballs. My home is smoke and children free. We have a three year old border collie who is absolutely gorgeous and gets along with every dog he meets and also quite fond of cats

“Simran really took the time to understand what Beau needed and also did a great job keeping our house clean and organised over the time she was here - everything was spotless. He was relaxed and peaceful with her, we got lots of photos and updates. Overall a very positive experience”

“Lucy came around to sit Sally, our 9 month cockapoo puppy. Lucy’s calm and friendly nature made us feeling comfortable leaving Sally in her care, and we came back to a happy dog who had had plenty of cuddles and a walk whilst we were out. We have already booked Lucy again - thank you Lucy!”


About: I’ve looked after dogs of all ages, from puppies under one year old to aged dogs, including dogs with disabilities and additional care needs. * Grew up with a poodle and cared for her for over 10 years. * Currently have two Bichon Frise dogs as a family, with over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for them. * Cared for more than 10 of pets through the trusthousesitters app, which i have been trusted and appreciated with 5 stars of reviews by pet owners for my attentive, loving care I currently work full-time, finishing at 5pm, so I’d love to spend my evenings walking and playing with dogs after work. I’m also happy to house sit when pet owners are away, giving their pets plenty of company and care while they’re at work or travelling! I will care for pets in their owner’s home and safe place to play(park, woods…) I also provide proper house care like watering the plants (indoor and outdoor) and keeping house ideally tidy.

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 Charnwood walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Charnwood, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £46 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Charnwood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
