“What a wonderful experience! Martina could not have taken better care of Twix & sent some many pictures & updates on her stay. We would not hesitate to welcome her into our home again.”
“So SO happy that we found this wonderful couple. Trixie has a fantastic time and is treated like one of the family. We couldn’t be happier. Please don’t ever give up doing this. Thank you xx”
“Colin and Chris are a "dynamic duo!" They are very accommodating and professional. We felt at ease leaving our husky with them and never once worried she wasn't getting the best of care. Loads of walks, treats, and videos of their stay with Sakari. Highly recommend them. Colin and Chris will be our first choice for future travels.”
“No hesitation rebooking with Jessica. She has a natural affinity with pooches and our cocker Ness loves her. Already booking more sits with confidence we’ll come back to a happy pup”
“Luke recently house sat and looked after our pets for a week whilst we were abroad. At first I was a little nervous as have never used Rover before- we liked Luke’s profile and he was super responsive from the instant we reached out, despite being abroad himself at the time! He was empathetic and polite, warm and professional and answered all questions honestly. As we were entrusting our home to him, he was more than happy to come over to meet the dogs and see the house before we went ahead. He was punctual, polite, down to earth and clearly great with our two cockapoos! During the stay he sent regular updates & pics on WhatsApp and even offered to pick up a few supplies for us so we didn’t have an empty fridge to come back to! It gave us great peace of mind to have him house sit and I’d recommend him - we will be booking again!”
“Ellie was really attentive from the start .our dog Champers took to her straight away She sent us updates to let us know that all was good. We have already booked Elle again - She is lovely 😍”
About: I have never done petsitting before but I have looked after my sisters dogs a few times so this will be a fun new experience! I have looked after dogs of friends/family a few times and wanted to try this out and gain some new experiences! I'm working part-time so It will be easy to look after your pets no problem! I'm available during the week and sometimes on weekends too. When I look after peoples pets, I make sure that I know about everything they might possibly need and know where all their stuff is.
“Chelsea was fantastic looking after our cat. The updates and pictures were so lovely (very talented photographer). I was worried cookie wouldn't warm to other people but he loved having Chelsea around. Looked after the house nicely. Shes such a lovely person which adds to the comfort of leaving your house and animals with her. Will 100% be using her to look after cookie again.”
About: I have experience caring for my own cat and her kittens. I’m a caring and responsible person who loves animals and would always treat your pet with patience, kindness and attention. I work full-time, but I live with my mum, so there is almost always someone at home to keep your pet company. Also, I have two kids, they love animals I live in a detached house with a secure, fully fenced garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play and feel at home.
About: I have looked after family pets since I was 15. They have relied on me to feed, fuss and walk their pets even on overnight stays. The services I provide are dog walking, and house visits which include activities such as walking your dog or dogs and playing games like fetch with them. House visits include playing, feeding, keeping them company and fuss. I am free anytime to pet sit and pet care fits into my routine as a number 1 priority. I take pet care very seriously and always plan around it. I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter who works from home. How I care for pets in the owners home is by keeping an eye on them but also trusting them because they are in their own home but I always make sure that the house is safe and secure.
About: I’ve been around dogs and small animals my whole life. Growing up, our family had a Springer Spaniel named Buster (from my birth until I was about 5), a Black Labrador Retriever named Roly (until my teenage years), and a Beagle named Millie. In my twenties I helped care for three dogs full-time with a former partner — two Golden Retrievers (Shadow and Luna) and a Newfoundland (Koda) — plus three rats for three years. I’m passionate about all animals and nature, and I love spending time with pets — giving them walks, playtime, feeding, and the individual attention they deserve. I’m experienced with different breeds, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m always eager to learn more about each pet’s unique needs. I work a 4 days on / 4 days off shift pattern (6am–6pm). On my off days I’m generally fully available, though I’ll update my calendar for any specific busy times. On work days I can accept walks and drop-ins from 7pm, but nothing after 9:30pm as I need to sleep by 10pm for my early shift. I’m flexible for evenings and weekends when possible and always communicate clearly. I provide care in the pet owner’s home only. I’m very attentive and follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I’m experienced with different breeds and always prioritise the pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I can give regular toilet breaks and plenty of attention during my visits.
About: I have always looked after animals since a young age. I have a family Springador who is now 9 years old and a 2 year old Cockapoo who is also a family dog (but do not live with me). I miss going on more regular dog walks so I am looking forward to meeting lots of new fur-friends! I love being outdoors and regularly go on walks - so why not exercise the dogs at the same time! I work from home so I enjoy getting out and about during the week and at weekends. I work from home 4 days a week and regularly go on walks either in the morning, at lunch or in the evening (depending on the weather). I am also around at weekends. I have a secure grass garden and hard floors downstairs. There is also space for a crate or dog bed and the house can be made dog-friendly when required.
“Mel is an experienced dog owner and therefore I had no reservations leaving Loki with her. She took time to understand his personality, commands, likes and dislikes and was adaptable to make sure he had a great stay. The excitement he showed seeing her after their intro meet was clear he had a great time. He was definitely spoilt and would absolutely book with her again !”
“We couldn’t be happier with Annie! She’s absolutely lovely and took such amazing care of Axel while we were away. 🥰 We felt completely at ease knowing he was happy, settled and being so well looked after. She kept us updated throughout, which we really appreciated, and it was so lovely seeing how comfortable Axel was with her. He can be a little particular about who he trusts, so it means a lot to us that he’s taken to her so well! Annie is kind, reliable and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We came home to a very happy Axel and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. We would absolutely recommend Annie to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take wonderful care of their dog. Thank you so much for looking after our little boy! ❤️”
“Luke is really good with dogs, he knows what they need, what they like. Cooper is big blind boy but we knew that we can go on holiday with clear mind. He also cared about our garden which we highly appreciate. Cooper absolutely love Luke! He is missing him already. We can recommend Luke if anyone needs help with dog!”
“Zoe was great with our animals. She spent the bank holiday weekend caring for our 2 dogs, our cat and tortoise. She kept me informed over the weekend and handled the dogs well, when they decided not to like each other and had a fight! Zoe kept me updated on progress and checked in when needed. Zoe left the house spotless. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing their animals cared for, not just looked after.”

Volodymyr is an interesting man with a very calm personality which suited our energetic Staffy-Cross well. He gave us regular 'pupdates' and followed our instructions to the letter. He also left the house immaculately tidy (actually even tidier than he found it). Would certainly recommend his services.

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 Daventry 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 Daventry, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £68 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 Daventry 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
