“Daniel was fab! Came to meet us and the animals before hand, he then looked after both dogs and the cat so well - they were very happy and he even managed to befriend our cat (which is impressive 😅). He was always quick to respond, sent us lots of videos and pictures daily and looked after our house really well! Very appreciative and would highly recommend - no doubt we’ll book again when needed 😊”
“George looked after our two dogs while we were at a weekend family event. Reliable, kept us very well informed throughout and the dogs were very calm and well looked after when we returned. Will definitely use George again.”
“Shannon was fantastic! Super reliable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. We came home to a clean house and happy pets — everything was just as we left it. She took amazing care of our dogs and parrots, giving them lots of attention and keeping them calm and happy while we were away. Would definitely have her house sit for us again!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Bow so well! Sophie was great with our dog Bow when we went out for the day and kept us informed with lots of pictures and messages. He instantly clicked with her from the first meet and greet and it was clear she was very kind and caring towards animals. Will definitely ask Sophie to look after our doggy again in future if we need it. Thanks again.”
“We are so grateful to Emma who took on the care of our 4 months old Spangold puppy overnight. Emma knows so much more than we do about looking after a puppy and Ted was extremely well cared for, and stimulated! She took him for walks, carried out some training activities and gave him lots of attention and cuddles throughout the day. She also kept us updated with photos and messages which was very reassuring. We will definitely be asking Emma to look after Ted again!!”
About: I have had a dog for 11 years, but sadly as she passed away. I live in the Cotswolds and work full time but am flexible with remote working. I love all animals, any size any breed and look forward to giving them lots of attention! I used to be a frequent user of rover, and look forward to getting back into it! I'm currently working long days from home, so I am very flexible and we could both do with lots of walks as I finish my exams. I like to get out the house for even 5 minutes every couple hours while working so it would be great for both dog & I! I am experienced with caring for others dogs, both in boarding and house-sitting. I have a very clean all-female home, which I share with 4 other close friends. I live close to parks, and also like have easy routes to Chorlton nature reserve, Sale Water park and other nearby areas for longer walks.
“Julie was great with Cleo! She walked and fed her as agreed and we were sent plenty of updates throughout the day. Julie was highly communicative throughout the whole booking process and it’s clear she really loves dogs! Highly recommend. Will use her again if we’re back in the area.”
“My dog Absolutely LOVES Harry! Harry is very reliable and we trust him with our dog and to stay within our home. We will continue to use Harry for dog walks and dog stays. Highly recommend! Thank you for all your help”

“Madison was great with our 2 dogs for an overnight stay. Gave me full reassurance they were in very safe hands and they got a lot of fuss! I came home to 2 very happy dogs. I don’t often leave them but I felt completely at ease and able relax. Thanks so much - they look forward to seeing you again soon!! 🐾🐾”
“Sian is lovely, she took great care of Maggie whilst dog sitting. Sian is communicative and left the house as she found it- I would recommend her and look forward to booking again. Xx”
“Would highly recommend Jane, she did a brilliant job looking after our house and dog , Bea for five weeks . We received regular updates and pictures which made it very clear Bea was enjoying lots of lovely walks and very happy spending time with Jane at home. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we got back and Bea looked amazing. We have already booked her for our next holiday.”

“Sheryl was amazing in taking care of my two dogs. We don't leave them overnight often and they require regular medication so I was a little nervous, but she was so kind and caring that we immediately felt that they were in safe hands. Sheryl's communication was great and she provided updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend, we will definitely reach out again in the future if we require her services again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Lily. She looked after our dog, Benji, for two weeks and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Throughout our holiday, Lily kept us updated with regular messages and lovely photos, which meant so much to us and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time with family. Her communication was excellent from start to finish. What really stood out was how caring and thoughtful she was. During an unexpected hot spell, she even brought her own fan to our house to make sure Benji stayed comfortable, as we didn’t have one available. She also adjusted his walking times to avoid the hottest parts of the day, always putting his wellbeing first. Lily went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about both Benji and us. Knowing he was in such safe and loving hands made all the difference to our trip. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Lily – Benji can’t wait to see you again!”
“Wow!! Don’t even know where to start - perfect communication from initial enquiry to the end of the stay. Loads of lovely updates throughout, Ross went above and beyond on his stay and I couldn’t reccomend him enough - thank you, the dogs clearly adored you 💙”
“Emma was a brilliant and professional sitter. I was away for 10 days and came back to contented animals (1 senior dog, 1 adolescent dog and 3 cats) and a clean and tidy house. My young dog ( a Beluski) isn’t easy and needs lots of exercise; Emma was excellent with her and dealt with the differing needs of the 2 dogs really effectively. I really recommend Emma as a sitter, she communicated well and sent regular updates 😊👍🏼🐕🐶🐈🐈⬛🐈”

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 Cotswold 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 Cotswold 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.
