“We were really happy with the care Roslyn gave. She knows exactly how to handle our Chow Chow, and we could tell he was very comfortable with her. She also kept the house spotless, which is very important to us and we really appreciate it. She even left our dog clean and happy. We would definitely recommend her and would be glad to have her help again! 🐾 🦁”

“Corina is absolutely lovely & we have no reservations about booking her again & again. This was the second time. She took our fur baby out for a decent walk & sent a photo with update. It's like leaving your precious pooch with a trusted family member. Highly recommend 😊”

“Wonderful, caring sitter. Kirsten ensured my dog had a really good care & provided lots of updates. My dog is usually a little unsure with strangers but Kirsten’s calm, caring manner meant she was able to settle in her care after one initial meet. First time using any kind of sitting service and it was very successful. Thank you, Kirsten.”

About: I grew up around dogs and have been looking after them since I was about 12. I had a Shiba Inu of my own, so I know what it's like to really love a dog and want the best care for them when you can't be there. Friends, family and neighbours have always come to me when they need someone to check in on, feed or walk their pets. I regularly look after my friend's dog, and it's honestly the highlight of my week. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I'll send you photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet's doing. I work flexible hours, so I can fit walks, drop-ins and house sitting around your pet's routine rather than the other way around. I'm available most days of the week and happy to adjust to whatever schedule works best for you and your pet. I live in a flat with no other pets, so your dog or cat will have my full attention during drop-in visits. For house sitting, I'll stick to your pet's usual routine, same walk times, same feeding schedule, same spots on the sofa. I'm tidy and respectful of people's homes, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away.
About: Hi! Though new to Rover, I am a lifelong dog lover with a solid background in dog care, known for my affection, reliability and attention to detail. I’m committed to earning your trust while providing your furry friend with the exceptional care they deserve. I grew up in a family that has always loved and cared for dogs. Being around them has been a big part of my life and I truly enjoy their company. I’m genuinely passionate about these companions and over the years I’ve provided care for pets belonging to friends, family and local clients. For me, it’s all about making every furry friend feel safe, loved and happy. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to your pet, giving them lots of attention, love and playtime. This also allows me to be fully present and responsive to their needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, playtime and any special instructions like medications or preferred sleeping spots. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection and stimulation throughout the day. I treat every pet like they were my own, with patience, kindness and care.
“Our two goldadors instantly loved Clare, we were super comfortable that she's had a lab in the past and knew how to deal with their different personalities (a 4 year old who wants to chill, and a 1 year old who just wants to play). They both had a lovely evening with her, house was left spotless, and they're both super sleepy from all the play they had so a lovely easy day for us the day after! We will definitely be using Clare for our next holiday!! I'd also say that Clare comes across as a super lovely person who really cares about animals. Our dogs are our entire world so having someone to look after them who treats them like their own is such a comfort. Thank you again Clare!!! X”

About: I am a cat mum to Bert (our rescue cat). I have walked friends/neighbours dogs. Most of my friends have dogs and my close friend has recently adopted a puppy so I have been spending lots of time with him. I have looked after friends’ cats too whilst they were on holiday. I have grown up with pets so have a real love for them. As a teenager, I looked after our rabbits. As a pet owner myself, I can assure you that your pet will be in safe, loving hands ❤️ I work full-time as a teacher but have the afternoons/evenings free to walk your pets and spend quality time with them. I can also do weekends any time, if you give me some notice. I will have more flexibility in the summer holidays too! I can visit your pet whilst you are away. I can feed them, clean litter trays, walk them, play with them and follow any care instructions that you may have.
“Our dog Pippa had a great time with Kezia when she came to dog sit for us. Kezia is very friendly and easy to work with, and Pippa was very at ease with her which made us feel reassured. Would definitely recommend.”

“We couldn’t ask for more with Katie! She was amazing with our dog Mila from when she arrived. We received regular updates and we felt totally at ease while we were away. Katie is a fantastic sitter, she is brilliant and we’ll be in touch very soon! Thanks Katie!”

“We met daisy a few days before she come and stayed at our house to look after our 4 bouncing bombs. She was a plaewuare to meet and hit it off with the dogs straight away. Jax suffers from anxiety so was a big deal for me due to having bad experience before when leaving them. But daisy made sure they Jax was put at ease and looked after. She treated them as her own and looked after our home which is exactly what we wanted we definitely recommend daisy and will live to get daisy to look after our dogs again if they haven’t scared her off with there constant kissing and madness ☺️💙💙💙💙”

“Lena is absolutely lovely! She took fantastic care of our elderly dog and 2 cats while we were away for a few weeks. She provided regular updates on how they were doing and took great care of our home. I would highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is my ability to balance structured care with plenty of love and playtime. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and understood, whether that means high-energy walks for active dogs or cozy snuggles for older ones. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, treating every pet as if they were my own. Currently I'm fully flexible for the foreseeable future ~ if not than my Wife os happy to accommodate/take over. Mon through to Sunday, any hours, just liase with me and I'll do my best to meet your needs. I am on the ground floor of an apartment complex situated near Greenhithe Station/Ingress Park. An outdoor sealed off balcony, safe for Dogs & I would say Cat's but they have no boundaries 😂 With plenty of outdoor and walking space.

“Mach loves Clare , he was so happy with her. Clare looked after Mach so well , lots of love and plenty of fun and games I was so happy to leave Mach with Clare and will not hesitate to do so again Thank you. Clare. Love from Mach🐾🐾”

About: I have an extensive history of working with dogs. I have owned working therapy dogs and have been working at a dog sanctuary for the past 2 years, handling dogs from all walks of life and all sizes. Dogs give so much love voluntarily and deserve that back. I insist dogs are walked for a good few mikes daily unless medically incapable. I will ensure they are fed to your specification and will follow any behavioural instructions you may have in place to ensure continuity. I am open to any questions you may have or to alleviate any concerns you may have. I am freely available for any pet care needs all I ask is for the advanced notice stated. I also have to collect my son from school on a Wednesday and every other Friday so the dog would need to be ok for a short period of time alone. I have a gated garden and a big field and woods near by. I can crate your dog if required. I am flexible and will work around your needs. If boarding, then dog/cat would need to be dropped and collected from my property.
“Emily took great care of our dog Aggy at our home. Very communicative and kept me updated throughout. I’d highly recommend Emily for dogsitting and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Dartford is £35

I honestly couldn’t recommend Anya enough! She looked after our four dogs while we were at my sister’s wedding, and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was so caring and attentive, and our boys absolutely adored her. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy thewedding knowing they were in the best hands. It’s so clear how much she genuinely loves animals, and our dogs were so happy and relaxed with her. We will 100% be using Anya again in the future. If you’re looking for someone to treat your fur babies like their own, Anya is the perfect choice. Thank you so much! ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dartford on Rover is £33.49 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Dartford 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 Dartford 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
