“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. ”

“We had previously hired Corben for a day time dog sit and did not hesitate to contact him again when we then needed an overnight stay with our dog. Corben was very flexible with the timings and very attentive to our needs to allow us to make the most of our night away. Corben was great with our dog and provided regular communication on how she was getting on. I can't recommend Corben enough. Knowing our dog was safe and happy allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our event without worry. We will definitely be booking Corben again for any of our dog sitting needs.”

“My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety. I hate returning after being away because he looks so sad, but after three days with Kyle, I came home to a happy and tired dog! He has a very relaxed manner and Ralphie took to him right away. Will book again! Thanks Kyle”

“Our dogs are not easy ones. They are adopted from the street, so they can't be socialised as other dogs. Chloe was very patient, spent a lot of time in advance preparing for her future sitting with dogs. Our youngest dog might become aggressive with strangers, so it was really challenging to gain her trust. Chloe had to sit with our 2 dogs and a cat. Another difficulty was that dogs were not friendly with our cat, so you need to control the whole company all the time and separate them. You can see that we are not easy clients, but Chloe gained trust and love of the whole pet company and managed sitting very well. This made my holiday time possible, I really appreciate Chloe's help. Also the house was left even cleaner than we left it. Thanks to Chloe!”

“Cara provided a perfect dog sitting service for our puppy Juniper. Obviously, the first time we have left her for a long period of time, so was quite anxious initially. However, Cara updated us on a daily basis of their regular adventures, walks, etc. and we had no concerns knowing that Juniper was very happy and settled in Cara's company.”

“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.”

“Sophie responded to my request so quickly and came to my house to cat sit for the weekend at very short notice. I came home to a very happy cat. Marvin clearly liked Sophie the pictures and messages she sent were lovely and updated me throughout the weekend which was great, as I do worry about leaving Marvin he had a new night time routine and Sophie managed to get Marvin in at night which in itself I was worried about. I would absolutely love to recommend Sophie and will definitely myself be reaching out again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, starting at 14 when my family welcomed our first dog, Hendrix (pictured), into the family. Since leaving home, I’ve continued to regularly dog sit and walk dogs, and I’ve now also been caring for dogs through Rover for several years. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes and personalities, and I’m confident adapting to each dog’s individual needs, routine and temperament. Whether they’re energetic and love long walks and playtime, or prefer a slower pace and plenty of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to them. I travel a lot, so I’m unable to have a dog of my own at the moment, which is why I love having the opportunity to care for other people’s pets. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home so I’m able to give your furry friend all of the attention they need with regular toilet breaks! I love long walks so happy to take them out as many times they need. I will happily adhere to your instructions and provide your pet with all the care they need. Including lots of attention! Hendrix has health problems so I also have experience in caring for dogs with health issues.

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

“Dolly looked after our chocolate Labrador Mika for a week and we couldn’t be happier. She kept us regularly updated with messages , which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Mika was clearly very well cared for and happy throughout. We also came home to a clean and tidy house, which was really appreciated. We would happily recommend Dolly and would definitely book again.”

“Apologies for the delay - I came back from Ireland with a nascent cold, and have succumbed! Jo, and her partner Troy, have been brilliant sitters. Agnes, our Alsatian was relaxed and happy and clearly got on really well with both Jo and Troy, though it seems she kept up her usual preference for the man! Our house and garden were kept beautifully tidy and plants were watered as requested. We are very grateful to Jo and Troy for taking such good care and enabling us to attend our son's wedding, and hope they enjoyed their time with Agnes and on the Roseland. Many thanks, Pete & Cathy”

“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 ☺️”

“Lara kindly looked after George when we went to a performance at the Minack Theatre. It was the first time we used a sitter for him and we were rather nervous about it. Lara put our mind at ease and hit it off with George straight away. She went out of her way to help us with a last minute booking and did an absolutely amazing job looking after our precious boy. We will definitely use her again and can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for your help Lara x”

About: I’ve been brought up around dogs my whole life so have learnt a lot of caring responsibilities. With bathing, walking, feeding, administering medication and just loving them! I am currently at university so I live quite a busy life! However, around my studies I am able to fit in some dog walking/ sitting. My availability can vary but I can keep this up to date on the calendar and provide plenty of notice. Unfortunately due to my dogs at home not being too friendly I can’t look after your dogs in my own home. However, in your home I’ll be sure to keep an eye on them, meet their needs and give them plenty of attention! If there are any additional needs e.g regular medications or training, if you let me know this before I will make sure I stick to any plans!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting – Cornwall

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Cornwall on Rover is £40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £26 and £75 per night.

sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 237 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Cornwall. About 78% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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.

House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Cornwall, the price of house sitting can vary between £26 and £75 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 Cornwall 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.
