“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! 🐾❤️”
“Jiahui looked after our 8 year old labrador while we were away at a family wedding, and we can't praise her highly enough. She is very polite young lady who obviously loves dogs and cared for ours and kept her happy , and sent us lots of photos and information to let us know how things were going which was much appreciated. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using her again in the future !”
About: We are a loving energetic family of 2 adults, 2 girls aged 14 and 12. We've always had pets in our household and would look forward to welcoming yours. We live in an open space house where the doggies can run around and also have a lovely secured garden, we go for daily walks to the park round the corner. My girls love playing and cuddling doggy guests. It will be like their home to home. We often bake doggy treats. If your doggy would love to stay the night it would be our pleasure and would be in trusted hands. We would provide care to dogs up to 7kg in weight. I'm at home daily as I do the kids school pick up and drop off during term time so around for lots of doggy attention, cuddles and walks. I'm available for home boarding from 1 to 10+ days also day care and walks. If local I also offer pick up and drop off. If your doggy needs to attend an event I can also incorporate into the booking.
“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!”
“Absolutely recommend without hesitation. Stayed with my dog Ronnie for a week in my home. Kept me up to date with photos. Several of which were Ron getting her much loved belly rubs. Ron loved her and was very well taken care of. Millie also left my house spotless. Excellent service will be booking again if she’s available.”
“Wonderful from initial booking conversation to end of stay. Loved the organised questions to understand Clements routine. Meet and Greet, where both dealt with large hound energy so well. Throughout the stay lovely updates and photos so we knew all was well with our fur baby. Highly recommend. Very professional”
About: I used to be a groomer and worked at a pet store. I have high tolerance for animals and is fully educated on the proper care and treatment. Although I am a full time student, I find time with animals as a sort of relief and comfort out of the hassle of it all. I used to have several animals under care. Cats, turtles, fishes and a chicken farm. I have a soft spot for animals so do treat them fairly and lovingly.
About: I've had dogs in my family home my whole life, I've taken care of them since I was a child and have also taken them on many walks with neighbours pets. I currently have a cat in my family home and took care of him on my own for 2 years before my move to University. Living with no pets at University has been difficult and I would love the opportunity to spend some time getting to know you and your pets. Whilst at uni, I have lots of free time to spend with your pets. I am available all fridays, weekends and holidays. Additionally, I am available after 2 on Monday's, 12 on Tuesday's plus evenings on Wednesday's and Thursday's. I can take care of any needs your pet may have, I care for animals deeply and always think of their comfort first whilst around them.
“This was a meet and greet meeting to meet Norman and Bruno and myself . The whole family will be going away for a wedding and the dogs have only been with family. It was lovely to meet Danni , she was very reassuring , very approachable and I instantly knew she will be brilliant for the dogs . I feel far happier leaving them now .”
“Karolina took good care of my cat and house. My cat was clearly very comfortable with her and she sent regular updates. Karolina let me know when she was called in for a shift at her job which enabled me to adjust the time on my cat's auto-feeder if needed. I came home to a clean house and happy cat.”
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! 🐶🐱❤️
“Our dog, Pip, had a fab time with Nichola and her son. She was clearly treated like a member of the family and had a wonderful time going out about about. We had lots of photos, videos and messages which meant any worries about the dog were quickly put to rest. Pip also adored Nicholas's garden (with particular emphasis on dive bombing one poor bush 😂). But nothing was a problem and Nichola is clearly very experienced with dogs and caring for them. We would absolutely book Pip in again!”
“Emily is amazing my dogs love her I think they will be hoping I go away more often! I love the regular pictures and updates from her so I have peace of mind while I’m away and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for any pet sitting jobs.”

We had a really positive experience and would happily recommend CaitlynShe arrived on time, kept us updated throughout the stay, and we felt completely reassured knowing Buddy and Surdi were being well looked after. 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!
So sweet and kind. Came to meet us beforehand and came early on the day as it was my first day back at work leaving my puppy. Could not recommend more highly - gave me photo and text updates. Nyla didn't even bother to greet me when I got back she was so content sleeping on Yasen!
As always Allanagh gave us complete peace of mind whilst we were on holiday. It’s the longest we have left our beloved Chi & he was looked after as we would look after him ourselves. Regular updates & photos helped ease any anxieties I had. Allanagh is a star sitter & our Chi adores her ! 💫
Amazing. Yee lam has been amazing. Her and her partner came to stay at our house for 3 nights and have been updating us worth picture of the dog several times a day. Yee lam was very confident and knowledgeable. I was totally at ease leading her and my occasionally difficult dog together
Adam is absolutely brilliant. We have been able to leave Winnie with him again and know that she is completely safe being looked after as one of his own.. Adam is reliable punctual communicates regularly and has a genuine Love of animals. I would highly recommend- thank you Adam. 👍
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
I liked Nadia from the moment we met, she asked all the right questions and was genuinely interested in learning about the needs of both my cat and dog. Nadia stayed from Christmas eve until Boxing day, she gave me regular updates on how my pets were doing. The house was clean and tidy when I returned home and when I checked on the home camera, she was always interacting with my pets, she was a lovely girl and a wonderful pet sitter, I will definitely be booking Nadia again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone else.

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.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Coventry, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £58 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 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!
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.

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
