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.

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: Hi, I am Annie, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mum to my intelligent and loving Shihpoo, Winnie. I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to looking after dogs. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and have experience with a special needs dog who had severe anxiety, separation issues, and ongoing medical needs. This taught me the importance of patience, understanding, routine, and creating a calm environment where every dog feels safe and loved. I work from home, which means your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I live in a quiet area with a secure fenced garden, and I’m lucky to be close to beautiful fields where we can enjoy peaceful walks and the ultimate “snifari” adventures! Winnie absolutely loves other pups and enjoys making new friends, but I always make sure every dog’s individual personality and comfort level comes first. Whether your dog loves exploring, relaxing, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. My goal is to give every dog the same love, patience, and care I would want for Winnie... helping them feel happy, comfortable, and truly looked after while they’re with me. It is just me looking after your dog. 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.

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 had pets since I was born. I was raised with 5 dogs at home, from puppies to elderly I enjoyed training, feeding and playing with them. As a teenager I’d help my friends by going to their houses to take care of their dogs and cats and take them for walks. I’m a volunteer in a woodland forest rescuing animals and creating new habitats for them, which improves my understanding of their behaviours and needs. I don’t do boarding for pets from different households at the same time so they can feel more comfortable while away from home. If your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications or a specific routine please let me know during the booking. I’m currently back home during summer break from university so if there isn’t any plans I’m free the whole week 24/7. I got a flexible schedule to be able to adjust for shifts needed I’ve got a house with a closed and fenced garden with play and have a good time. I don’t have any pets at home but I’m free the whole time to stay with your pet.

About: Together, my partner Chris & I have over 20+ years of looking after dogs. We have trained 3 dogs since puppies between us, so can manage and enjoy any aged dog. We have looked after dogs of all temperaments and have experience with rescue dogs. Both of our cockapoos love doggy friends, so your dog will need to be ok with other dogs company. Narla is very playful & Bonnie is quite reserved but so loving. We both work full time, so would only be able to pet sit over the weekend from Friday to Sunday and bank holidays. Our weekends are dedicated to taking our dogs on satisfying, interesting walks (for all of us!). We have an enclosed garden with a 6 foot fence, so your dog will be secure. We also have a crate if your dog needs this over night. We can also sleep the dogs in separate rooms if needed.

Maisie was a fabulous sitter for our house and labradoodle. She was punctual and looked after our home and dog as if they were her own. Ruby took to Maisie straight away and we really hope that she can come and sit for us again. Thank you Maisie!

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.

About: I have lots of experience looking after animals. I have sitted dogs overnight and in the day many times. And I absolutely love it! I have experience with different types of dogs. I work part time, so I have a lot of free time to spare, and I would love to spend this with animals! I am vegan and have been for nearly 6 years. Whatever your rules are I will follow, giving pets the love and care that they deserve. Making sure they are safe in their environment! They won’t want me to leave!

I had the absolute pleasure of leaving my baby boy, Diego, in Eden’s care—and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. This was the very first time I entrusted someone outside of family to look after him, and Eden exceeded every expectation. She was exceptionally attentive, warm, and professional from the very beginning, creating a safe and nurturing environment that immediately put both Diego and me at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Diego had a wonderful time in her care. I am truly greatful for the peace of mind she provided, and I feel confident knowing he was in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Eden to any fur baby parent looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced.

About: I have experience caring for dogs both in my own home and in their owners’ homes. While on a gap year in Melbourne, Australia, I looked after dogs in my home while their owners were away, ensuring they felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. More recently, I regularly care for a Cockapoo in the owner’s home while they are away, maintaining their usual routine and providing plenty of attention, walks, and companionship. I also have a lovely 10-year-old Sproodle at my family home, who I have helped care for since she was a puppy. She has given me valuable experience with the day-to-day responsibilities of owning a dog, from walks and playtime to feeding and providing lots of affection. She is very friendly and gets on well with dogs of a similar size. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and love going for walks, so taking dogs out for exercise is something I look forward to rather than seeing as a chore. My aim is always to make every dog feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I also have had cats ever since I was born so I am used to caring for them, including feeding, litter care, and providing affection. Further experience comes from my job. I work in home care, where tasks regularly involve caring for our customers’ pets, particularly cats and dogs. I am a Nursing student, however I am on break until October so work part time in home care. My hours are flexible so I can fit in visits around pet care, depending on how long they can be left alone and how much attention they require. I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping to their usual routine. Before any booking, I like to learn about their feeding schedule, walking routine, favourite toys, any medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. In my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I never leave dogs alone for long periods and make sure they have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, and lots of company throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the home tidy, and make sure pets receive the same level of care and attention they’re used to. I know how important it is for owners to feel reassured while they’re away, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is getting on.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I had a Weimaraner from the age of 8 until he sadly passed away 11 years later. A year later, we rescued my little girl, Peggy, from Romania after she was found abandoned in heartbreaking circumstances. She’s now been part of our family for over two years. Peggy was sadly involved in a hit-and-run road traffic accident earlier this year, which was an incredibly difficult time for both her and my family. I was by her side throughout her recovery, giving her the patience, support and care she needed to regain her confidence and get back on her feet. I’ve also looked after my uncle’s Black Labrador, my brother’s English Bulldog, a family friend’s Vizsla and many other dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I’m always the person who ends up on the floor playing with the dogs at family gatherings! I’m patient, caring and reliable, and I understand that every dog is different. Whether they love long walks, playing fetch or simply having someone to curl up beside, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re out or away. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m certainly not new to caring for dogs. I’ll care for your pet just as I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know they’re happy and in safe hands. 🐾❤️ I run my own beauty business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I always keep my availability up to date and will only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits or house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention and companionship while you’re away. I’ll always take the time to get to know your pet and ensure they feel happy, comfortable and well looked after. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I always aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medication or bedtime routines, to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have hands-on experience with a wide range of pets. I currently have three cats of my own that I’ve raised since they were kittens, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and attentive care at every stage of life. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting for two dogs and guinea pigs, staying at the owners’ house for a week to ensure their pets were comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ve also done drop-in visits for cats, handling feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and giving them companionship while their owners were away. In addition, I worked at a stable where I cared for horses, small goats, and barn cats. This role required responsibility, consistency, and confidence around animals of all sizes. It strengthened my ability to follow specific care instructions and manage different temperaments. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a university student with a flexible timetable, which allows me to offer availability most afternoons and weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times and work around your pet’s routine to ensure consistent and reliable care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding routines, medication (if required), exercise needs, and any specific behavioral guidelines. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially while their owners are away. When walking dogs, I ensure they are always securely leashed and taken to safe, appropriate areas such as local parks for exercise and enrichment. I stay alert to our surroundings and prioritize safe, controlled walks at all times. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the space with complete respect and maintain a clean, calm environment. I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings and provide updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

Jasmine took such good care of Loki and left the house spotless after house sitting. We were anxious to leave him but Jasmine went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and kept us updated with lots of lovely photos which we really appreciated. We were able to relax knowing he was being taken care of so well. We couldn't recommend her more highly and will definitely book her in again if she agrees!

Nisha is wonderful! This was the first we were leaving our young high energy rescue boy Maverick and were really nervous about it but Nisha was amazing, she came and met him before hand and it was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves and cares about cats, she bonded with him immediately and was extremely conscientious, asking lots of questions to make sure she had all the information she needed to properly care for him and to keep to his routines and get to know his personality. While we were away she kept in touch sending lots of updates and photos and videos, it was obvious how happy Maverick was in her care and we are so thankful for her, she really put us at ease and we were able to able enjoy our holiday knowing Maverick was well cared for. We came home to a happy, relaxed boy who had obviously had a fantastic few days, we can tell he misses her already as he's currently napping on her bed! We will definitely be booking her again!

Nisha was perfect, I couldn’t ask for anything more. She house/pet sat for my cat, Belle, for 2 weeks who, as a Ragdoll cat, requires a lot of companionship and attention compared to other cats. Nisha sent daily photos/videos of Belle and it was clear from the outset that they got on very well together. Nisha also went above and beyond by researching into Ragdolls and buying additional toys that she thought a Ragdoll would benefit from. Throughout my holiday I felt very confident that Belle was left in very capable and loving hands; and on my return, the house had been left spotless. I would not hesitate to recommend her and hope that we can use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Charnwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Charnwood on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,282 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Charnwood. 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 Charnwood 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 Charnwood 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.
