“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.”

“Sophie looked after our dog Lachie and cat Billy for 2 nights whilst we were away at a wedding and we couldn’t fault her. We had loads of photos sent through daily, messages to let us know they were okay, the house was immaculate when we got back and the animals were happy! Will definitely look to re-book in the future and recommend”

“We just came back to a very happy pup! Shannon looked after Harry for a long booking whilst we were away. Great communication, regular photo updates and we will definitely be booking Shannon again!”

“Emma recently housesat our cockapoo and two cats for one night and we would highly recommend her. She obviously has a love of animals and Scout, our cockapoo, instantly took to her. Emma was reliable and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout her stay which was very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Emma again!”

“Sian helped us out near the end of a very tricky week, and we only wish we'd found her sooner! Absolutely lovely person and our pup Dillon took to her straight away! Would highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Katy was amazing with my puppies, who aren't the easiest. She looked after both my dogs and the most important thing was that the dogs were happy and comfortable while I was away. Excellent!!!”

“Annie was brilliant with both our pets. Our cat is very timid but he came out of his shell and spent time with Annie. Our dog absolutely loved having her spend time with him and take him on a walk. Both our pets were thoroughly looked after as if they were her own and we would recommend Annie to anyone looking for a pet sitter”

“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.”


“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!! 🐾🐾”

“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.”

“I cannot rate Marianne highly enough! She took exceptional care of our two pugs while we were away, sent daily updates, including photos. Our two really took to her, I think they're sad she's gone home! We have a senior dog and a rescue, and she really listened to their care needs and cared for them as we would. It was so reassuring having Marianne here with them while we were gone. Have already recommended her to my friend!”

“Ross was superb with my aged sheepdog. He slept next to her bed downstairs and they became best mates for two weeks. Nothing was too much trouble and he insisted on accompanying her to hydrotherapy sessions. He is a very kind person and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a house/pet sitter.”


“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!”

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.
