“Becca is a true star sitter! She makes you feel like your dog is truly being looked after. She took Chaves to meet her own dogs, and he had an amazing time. When I got home, he was completely fine and relaxed. Chaves can be a bit noisy sometimes, but Becca handled it really well. Highly recommend her!🩵”
“Ben has looked after our two twice now and he's great - they've been really badly behaved both time and he's been really good about it. We get little updates and he leaves the house spotless.”
“Zhane was excellent: Had instant connection with “Bear” our Bernese Mountain Dog. Was on time, asked all the right questions & did all that we expected - plus. It was evident that Zhane loved dogs & knew how to treat them. We will use Zhane again. Excellent! Roy Butler”
“Cora was amazing from start to finish. We had regular pictures and updates. My dogs absolutely loved her. Cora was great she came round a couple of times before she looked after them. Would definitely recommend her. Lovely young lady that loves what she does.”
“Ellen is a wonderful sitter — Chaves has stayed with her more than once and she's coming back again this week, which speaks for itself. She did a meet and greet first, asked all the right questions, and kept me updated the whole time. Easygoing, caring, and reliable. Chaves and I are lucky to have found her!☺️🐶”
“Caitlin was amazing with our dog! You could tell from the start she genuinely loves dogs. She kept us posted, and when something unexpected came up, she really stood up and handled it perfectly. Felt totally safe knowing our dog was in her hands. Highly recommend her!🐶🧡”
“Mac absolutely loved his stay with Katarina! We recieved gorgeous photo pup-dates throughout the day - he went on the most beautiful walks. It is so reassuring to know our pup is in such good hands, you can tell she has a genuine love for animals and makes it her mission to see that Mac has a great time when he comes to visit. We will definitely be booking for another stay soon. Thank you Katarina!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats and rabbits so having responsibility for animals comes naturally to me. I am the first to volunteer when a friend or family member needs their dog or cat looking after as I absolutely love being around animals. I currently work full time but I have the flexibility to work from home when I need to. I would also be happy to do a pre work check in or walk in the early morning as I work locally. I will always take the time to understand your pets needs and adhere to anything you need to keep your pet happy and safe whilst I visit.
“Georgina took good care of our 15 month old labrador retreiver - her communication was great, she visited us beforehand to make sure everyone was happy and on the day she was punctual despite the early start on a Sunday, and sent us photos through the day! We're really happy with Georgina and look forward to working with her again in the future to look after our pup!”
“Jess is a wonderful sitter... She's lovely and friendly, taking time to find out all about Millie and kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages while I was away, enabling me to totally relax, knowing Millie was very happy and well looked after. She was also very respectful in my home. I would definitely recommend booking her.”
“Liz is an absolutely fantastic dog sitter. We have a needy dog who sticks like velcro and Liz looked after her beautifully. Lots of videos and pictures to help us along the way. Thank you so very much Liz.”
“Cannot review Sarah highly enough! She looked after our 7 month old rescue puppy, who isn’t the easiest (as puppies aren’t) and managed her well. Boo was chilled when we got home and was upset when Sarah left, so she obviously loves her. Will definitely book her again :)”

“Amy was a dream! I trusted her instantly with both my dog and my house, he was looked after soooo well and enjoyed all the cuddles. Amy sent lots and lots of photos and it was very clear Angus has a new best friend. 🐶❤️”
“Suzanne was great she arrived early and stayed with ronnie my dog for 22 hours. While I went and enjoyed my son's wedding. When I messaged to see how he was she replied straight away. Would recommend. Thanks Suzanne 😊”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with Chaves. She took great care of him, gave him a long walk, and kept us constantly updated, which we really appreciated. She’s a lovely person with a warm smile, and it truly showed in how comfortable Chaves felt with her. When she left, he even cried a little 🥰 — a clear sign of how much he loved her.

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs over the years, from my own, to friends and family dogs! I have experience in dog training and looking after dogs from a pup to adult. Through my career as a nanny I have had to take care of a variety of different breeds and there isn’t anything that brings me more joy than the company of a dog. I work as a nanny currently but I have a lot of free time during the day from the hours of 9am until 3pm during term time whilst the children are at school. I also live by myself so I am able to do to overnight/evening pet sits whenever is needed. I currently have two family dogs that I adore and are very much a huge part of our family so they come everywhere with us. Through looking after a variety of different dogs from different households I have been able to adapt to whatever the owner needs and requires and can implement the same practices they do whilst providing bundles of love and affection.
“Alex was great! She kept me updated throughout and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel at ease while I was at work. She’s really easygoing, and Chaves had a great time with her. I would definitely use her again!”
“Madison was super kind and gentle with Missy. Didn’t get any updates, but I know Missy would’ve been curled up next to her the whole time. House was left clean and tidy, will definitely use Madison again.”
“Rachel was great, very responsive and took the time to understand all the details about how to manage both our dogs. Unfortunately, our older lab Maia, had to be put down a couple of days before, so it was the first time Cal had been on his own without her or us. It wasn’t the easiest weekend, but Rachel handled it all very patiently. We would definitely recommend her and would book her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Dacorum is £35

Yasmin and Salma look after our fluffy siberians during our honeymoon. Once again, after the 6/7th time of us reusing them, they were absolutely fantastic. We missed the cats dearly, however had no worries about their care throughout the 2.5 weeks we were away. It is so lovely to be able to go away and know your cats will be looked after with the same love and affection as if we were there. Yasmin and Salma have always been professional, friendly and have kept us up to date with multiple pictures a day and comments on what they are getting up to. We are so grateful to them. Thank you so much! We will use you again soon!
Joelly did an absolutely amazing job of looking after my shy and poorly cat, Bella. She managed a complex situation of having to give Bella a lot of different meals and medications, and managed to befriend Bella at the same time too! Very impressive! I came home to a relaxed and content cat and very tidy flat. Joelly is lovely, very friendly and warm, as well as competent and organised. Many thanks for everything Joelly.

Sacha and Cristina were absolutely brilliant with our dog and cat, whilst we were away for the Christmas break. Our dog is reactive and has a number of needs (he’s usually nervous when left with sitters) BUT he absolutely loved having them come to stay in our home. We had constant updates, and our minds were at ease the whole trip. When we got back home, the home was spotless. We highly recommend both to be trusted to sit your furry members of your family. We can’t wait to use them again, I know the boys will miss them ⭐

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 Dacorum 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 Dacorum 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. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
