“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! She responded to my request at very short notice and was so accommodating and helpful throughout. While looking after Frankie, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing he was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and looked after him so well. She also left my home absolutely spotless, which I really appreciated. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better care for Frankie and would highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you so much, Caitlin! 🐾❤️”

“I booked Jiahui for house sitting with Cookie, and she was absolutely brilliant. She came over for a meet & greet beforehand, which immediately made me feel at ease and confident leaving Cookie with her. While I was away, she kept me updated regularly with photos of Cookie looking happy and relaxed. She followed all the care instructions perfectly, including feeding times, walks, and everything else. When I came home, Cookie was clearly well cared for, and the house was spotless — which honestly says it all. Jiahui is clearly very experienced with dogs and extremely responsible. Communication was smooth throughout, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Cookie was in good hands. I would definitely book her again.”

“We needed someone to stay overnight and look after our 4 month old puppy while we went away to a wedding, and Amy was a great dog sitter and happy to take on the task at relatively short notice. She was very attentive to Lizzie’s needs and sent us photos and updates regularly. We’re happy to book her again, and thanks Amy for taking care of Lizzie for us!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since j was around 12 years old. I’ve looked after from the size of a bichon fries to a German Shepard. So have had my fair share of different sized animals I don’t work as I’m a full time mum so u can expect me to be with ur dogs 24/7. They’re allowed to be on my bed with me. They can come in my car. They can come park and have a massive field to run around in I have a fenced flat garden that the dogs can run around in to go toilet. Or even just to play. I have a huge field near mine where dogs can run and play with balls etc

About: I have looked after my Husky since she was a 2 month old puppy. She is now 12 years old. I trained her myself. She is very well behaved, quiet and great with people and very young children. So I like to think I've done a good job raising her! I have a full time job Mon-Friday, so my services are available only on weekends. I have a car and I am well discipled, so I can most likely cover any time periods you need. I want to know about your pet to understand their specific needs and any particular quirks to be aware of to ensure I can look after them properly.

About: I've always been a huge dog lover! I used to live with a flatmate who had a lovely Golden Retriever, and spending time around him made me realise just how much happiness dogs bring into everyday life. Being around such a friendly, playful and affectionate dog helped me become more familiar with canine behaviour, their different moods and how much they value companionship and attention. Living with a Golden Retriever also helped me appreciate how important daily routines, exercise and mental stimulation are for dogs. I understand that dogs need more than just food and walks – they need affection, patience, interaction and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. One thing I particularly love about dogs is how expressive they are. From an excited wagging tail when they're happy to more subtle changes in body language when they're feeling nervous or uncomfortable, I always try to pay attention to how a dog is feeling rather than assuming every dog enjoys the same things. I know that every dog has a unique personality. Some are energetic and love exploring outdoors, while others are calmer and prefer gentle walks or relaxing at home. If I'm looking after an energetic dog, I'd make sure they have opportunities to exercise, play and explore safely. For a more relaxed or older dog, I'd adjust the pace and activities to suit their comfort and needs. When it comes to walks, safety is always my priority. I'd keep dogs securely on their leads, stay aware of traffic, cyclists and other animals, and pay attention to how they react to unfamiliar situations. If a dog seems nervous around another dog or a busy environment, I'd give them space and avoid forcing interactions. I also understand that some dogs may feel anxious when their owners are away. In these situations, I'd focus on creating a calm, reassuring atmosphere, keeping their usual routines as consistent as possible and offering gentle companionship. Whether that means playing with their favourite toy, sitting beside them or simply giving them time to settle, I'd always respect their individual needs. Before caring for your dog, I'd love to learn about their personality, feeding schedule, walking habits, favourite activities and any special requirements. I believe good communication with owners is essential, and I'm always happy to send regular photos and updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I'm a patient, caring and responsible person who genuinely loves being around dogs. I understand that pets are family, and I'd never take the responsibility of looking after someone's beloved companion lightly. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, happy and loved, just as they would at home. I can't wait to meet your furry friend and hopefully become someone they look forward to seeing! 🐶🐾 I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I can spend plenty of quality time with your furry friends throughout the day! Unlike someone who needs to leave for an office, I'm usually at home and can provide regular attention, companionship and care. I genuinely enjoy having animals around me, whether that means playing with them during breaks, giving them cuddles, taking dogs out for walks or simply keeping them company while I work. My flexible routine also allows me to adapt to your pet's individual needs, including their usual feeding times, toilet breaks, exercise and playtime. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll always do my best to maintain their familiar routines. Your pet won't have to spend long periods feeling lonely, and I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention and interaction throughout the day! 🐾 I live in a comfortable home with a private, fenced garden, providing a lovely outdoor space where dogs can enjoy fresh air, playtime and regular toilet breaks under my supervision. Since I work from home, I'm able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and make sure they're safe, comfortable and happy. I love spending time interacting with animals, whether it's playing games, giving them affection or simply relaxing together. For dogs, I'm happy to take them on regular walks, explore nearby outdoor areas and provide plenty of opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. I'll always follow the owner's instructions and make sure walks and outdoor activities are suited to each dog's age, energy level and personality. For cats, I understand how important a peaceful, secure environment is. I'll make sure they have comfortable places to rest, fresh water, clean litter trays and plenty of opportunities for gentle play and interaction. Cats will be kept safely indoors unless their owners have specifically agreed to supervised outdoor access. I take pet safety very seriously. I'll always check that gates and doors are securely closed, supervise outdoor activities and respect each pet's individual boundaries and routines. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured knowing your furry family member is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention. My goal is to create a warm, relaxed and loving environment where every pet feels completely at home! 🐶🐱❤️

About: 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels and personalities, including young high-energy puppies, senior dogs, and dogs who are anxious or very people-oriented. Most of my hands-on experience is with dogs, but I’m also very happy to hear from cat owners and I’m keen to build more practical cat-care experience. My experience includes: • 🏡 Day sitting and overnight care: from full-day care whilst owners are at work to week-long and longer overnight stays •🚶 Walking and routine care: feeding, refreshing water, toilet breaks, bathing, playtime, and following each dog’s usual daily routine • 🎾 Play and enrichment: including tug games, fetch, garden play, and food-based enrichment such as scatter feeding • ⚡ High-energy dogs: experience with excitable dogs who can become very hyper or mouthy, and helping them settle and calm down • 🐩 Senior care: adapting walks and activity levels for older dogs with lower stamina and making sure they stay comfortable • 💊 Medication and vet care: administering prescribed oral medication according to veterinary instructions and accompanying a dog to veterinary appointments • 🩹 Following care plans: helping manage minor ongoing issues by carefully following veterinary or owner guidance • 💛 Anxious and attached dogs: experience caring for dogs who prefer lots of human company or can become unsettled when left alone • 🦴 Different motivations and personalities: I don’t assume every dog is treat-motivated, and I’m happy to learn what actually works for your pet :) I know every pet has their own routine, boundaries and little quirks, so I’m always happy to ask plenty of questions beforehand and follow what already works for them rather than assuming one approach suits everyone. 📸 I’m also very happy to send regular photos and updates whilst you’re away — taking far too many pictures of the animals I look after is already something of a habit! I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I’m happy to provide plenty of companionship and attention whilst keeping their usual routine as consistent as possible. 🐈 When it comes to cats, I’m still very new to hands-on care and I’ll always be completely upfront about that. I’m happy to learn each cat’s routine and follow clear instructions around feeding, litter trays, play, boundaries, and general care. I’d be especially comfortable starting with cats who have straightforward routines and owners who are happy to talk me through what they need. I’ll never accept care that I don’t feel confident providing. As a university student, I have a fairly flexible schedule and can often accommodate walks, drop-ins, day care and house sitting around my studies. I’m especially available for overnight stays during weekends and university holidays. My calendar is kept up to date to reflect my availability. When I’m back home in Cambridge, I have much more flexibility and can also offer overnight care in my own home. During university term time, I live in rented student accommodation, so I’m unfortunately unable to host pets overnight there, but I’m still very happy to provide house sitting in your home where my schedule allows. I always aim to follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including their feeding, walking, toilet, sleeping and play schedules. I’ll take time beforehand to understand any house rules, behavioural quirks, medical needs or things your pet particularly likes or dislikes. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the property, and I’m careful with doors, gates, leads and anything else that could affect their safety. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates so you know how your pet is getting on. If a pet stays with me when I’m at home in Cambridge, they’ll receive plenty of attention and company, and I’ll follow the routine and boundaries you provide as closely as possible.

We couldn't be happier with the care provided for our dog, Kai, during our 18 day holiday. They were incredibly professional, reliable, and genuinely caring throughout the entire stay. We received daily updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Not only was Kai clearly well looked after and happy, but they also took great care of our home. We returned to a tidy house and a relaxed, content dog. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you again for everything!

Amy was wonderful with my dogs and won them over almost immediately. They were so well cared for and clearly very comfortable with her. She carefully followed all the instructions I left, which I really appreciated because my dogs are rather opinionated little creatures with very specific habits and routines! Amy took everything in her stride and looked after them brilliantly. It was such a reassurance knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I'd happily ask Amy to dog sit again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.

Sienna looked after our 2 dogs for a week when we went on holiday. We had a previous bad experience where a dog sitter didn’t walk our dogs and left them for long periods alone. Sienna was fantastic, she cared for them well, walked them everyday and looked after our house as if it was her own. She sent frequent updates and photos and this communication made us feel really at ease which meant we enjoyed our holiday without worrying! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We were lucky to have found her.

Her communication was excellent, and it was lovely receiving regular updates about how they were getting on. She was also very respectful of our home and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, it was clear that she genuinely cared for both dogs and gave them plenty of attention, affection and company. We came home to two very happy dogs! We’d be more than happy to have her look after Buddy and Surdi again in the future. Highly recommended!

From the moment Tim walked through the door we were totally put at ease. He was confident, professional, polite and very friendly, he certainly made a fantastic first impression You could tell straightaway that he was a very animal friendly person and had great knowledge and passion about dogs. I suffer with terrible anxiety and felt quite relaxed about leaving my babies behind. During our time away we were kept updated on the welfare and behaviour of our dogs. With pictures, videos and messages. It was great to see that Gabbi had resumed her natural position of laying in Tims arms like a baby, she couldn’t have been more relaxed. Our pair certainly had a fabulous time and they had all the love care and attention that they are used to. Please come back any time, Tim We luffs you Gabbi and Billi xx

FAQs for House Sitting – Coventry

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Coventry is £40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £29 and £58 per night.

On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 1,708 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Coventry. About 84% 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.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Coventry 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!

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 Coventry walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

For a long house sitting booking, discuss the full booking dates, the sitter’s overnight and daytime schedule, how long your pets can comfortably be left alone, home access, emergency contacts, and how often you would like updates.

During long bookings over different seasons, discuss any additional home-care tasks you would like the house sitter to handle, such as monitoring the heating, checking for draughts, or helping keep walkways accessible. Not all sitters offer household tasks, so confirm exactly what the sitter agrees to do and document the agreed responsibilities through Rover before booking.

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.
