“Harriet was fantastic in looking after our dog. She came round to the house to meet her (and us) ahead of time, has been superb throughout in terms of communication and clearly has a great rapport with dogs as ours was at ease straight away with her. We'll definitely be asking Harriet to sit again for us!”

“Corben looked after our cockapoo and our bungalow very well. We received messages and pictures most days and we would happily recommend Corben for anyone needing a dogsitter. Thank you Corben”


“As always Ree looked after Bozie as if he is her own cat. We had to stay away unexpectedly due to a family emergency and Ree was so helpful in travelling to Pets at Home to get supplies etc. Ree sent updates and photos/video morning and evening of our precious boy. We would highly recommend Ree. ”

“Jo has just looked after George for a few days. Brilliant experience. We met before our trip so she could meet George and establish what he needed. The communication was really good, George loved her and the house was super tidy when we got back. First class service and I can't recommend Jo highly enough.”

“*Worth more than a 5* review* I can’t recommend Jasmin and Callum enough - such a lovely couple and brilliant with my dogs. My first time using a dog sitting service and I felt very comfortable leaving them in such capable hands. I really appreciated the updates and photos too. Thank you both”

“Amy is lovely. She followed any instructions, kept our two safe and in company overnight and kept us updated, including with photos and videos. We explained that our youngest pooch is a young nervous rescue - Amy was mindful of this, and respected his boundaries and started working on building trust with him. Amy has a lovely, sweet and calm demeanour. We look forward to welcoming her into our home to look after our fur babies again. Thank you ☺️”
“Kyal has just completed a fortnight dog sitting our large unpredictable and sometimes reactive rescue Jessie with out any problems whatsoever. He is really a lovely gentle guy who is able to befriend and comfort dogs easily .Jessie adores him and is having a sulk as he's not here to take her on adventures. Will definitely call on Kyals services again and can thoroughly recommend having full confidence and trust in him to keep precious Jessie and our home safe.”

About: Born into a veterinary household, I grew up caring for every type of animal — from hamsters and tortoises to lambs, cats and dogs. As an adult, I’ve always shared my home with dogs, from tiny Shih Tzu puppies to giant Newfoundlands. This lifelong experience has given me a natural instinct for understanding what every dog needs to feel safe and loved. At the points of life where Iv been able to live with animals such a university or housing restrictions I have volunteered at either a dog walking charity or a small grooming business. Currently taking a break from cardiac Nursing, as youngest child is in their first year of school. Once school run is done we will either head to Trevaunance Cove, Portreath beach, Idless woods. Whichever you your pup would prefer. Then home for a snack & snooze, while I complete chores Then again after school pick up have a fun run down Coosebean woods/ cycle track just at the back of my home. I have a large garden that has some holes in the hedge-line, however your dog will be supervised while outside. No toxic plants. Always have access to fresh water, inside and outside

“Fantastic!! My 2 dogs took to her straight away, she gave them lots of cuddles, attention and enrichment in the garden. She also left the house clean, tidy and secure. I will definitely rebook!”

“Cara was communicative and reliable. She clearly loves spending time with dogs and ensured Barney was well cared for and had lovely walks as well as lots of fuss. We would definitely recommend Cara.”

About: Dogs are so precious and I’ve been looking after them for years. I have experienced with big dogs, small dogs, young dogs and old dogs! I love to get to know their personalities and interests, and base my care from that. I love long walks and if your dog did too, then we will make a great match. I’m playful, attentive and respectful and I love a dog cuddle! I work full time from home, so I can use that as a huge advantage and work from your home whilst caring for your lovely pets! I am absolutely happy to take your lead on what your pet needs, and base my care on that. Whatever precautions you take in your home, I will follow alongside those routines that are so important in making sure your pet feels minimal change when you’re away!

“Wow, we were so lucky to have found Ilona, she was the perfect person to look after our border collie, Ben. We rescued him recently and so he is quite needy and yet Ilona took everything in her stride and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. She knew exactly what Ben needed, especially in the crazy heatwave, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone to look after your dog(s). She responded very quickly to my booking request and was clear about timings and was so reliable and very trustworthy. She also kept us updated with photos and took him for walkies in the woods as it was shaded.”

“As always, we’re very grateful for the house sit. Mavis was obviously very well looked after and chilled out on our return. She’s very relaxed this morning which is a very good indication of the care she’s received.”

“We would definitely recommend Art! He is a lovely friendly guy and really put me at ease about leaving our puppy for the first time. Wilbur is at the full on and chewy stage and Art coped with it all super well, playing with him in the house and garden until he tired himself out. We came back from an evening out and puppy was calm and happy. Very impressed.”

“Chloe and Keagen were outstanding - looked after our dog and cat, and were so communicative. And basically performed a small Xmas miracle by collecting us when we couldn't get home from a night out. Lovely people who I would use 200% again.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Cornwall is £40

Amy is lovely. She followed any instructions, kept our two safe and in company overnight and kept us updated, including with photos and videos.

Amy has a lovely, sweet and calm demeanour. We look forward to welcoming her into our home to look after our fur babies again. Thank you ☺️
Danielle and Michael sat for our two yorkiepoos at short notice while we were on holiday in St Mawes. They made us feel instantly comfortable about leaving our babies with them. They were communicative throughout, sending lots of pictures and updates. Highly recommended and we will definitely be inviting them to sit again next time we're in the Truro area.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cornwall on Rover is £40.25 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 .

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 Cornwall 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 Cornwall 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.
