“Sophie was quick to respond and was very accommodating, looking after two cats and two gekkoes as well as house sitting. She sent through regular updates with pictures and videos and Ginger seemed to be very happy. She left the house clean and tidy. Would recommend & will definitely rebook.”
About: My family have always had dogs since I was born. We currently have an 18 month old cocker spaniel who I have trained from a pup successfully. I have also dog sat for family members and friends I’m currently working full time in the week. But can do pop in visits on evenings / over night stays on the weekends. Also able to offer walks morning and evenings. I provide reliable and loving care for pets in their own home, where they can feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know each pet and follow their usual schedule as closely as possible. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout my time with your dogs, being a dog owner myself I understand how important is it to ensure your dog is in good hands.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I currently have my own 3-year-old French Bulldog, Rex, who I’ve cared for since he was young. Before Rex, I owned a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Labrador × Rottweiler, both of whom were part of my family for around 10 years. This has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, energy levels and needs. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply giving them space to settle in. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days, including weekdays and weekends. I can be flexible with times and am happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times to find what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality, likes and dislikes before caring for them, and I’ll follow any instructions you provide. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of keeping them secure, supervised and comfortable. I’ll make sure they’re never left in an unsafe situation and will keep you updated so you know how they’re doing. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I want every pet to feel relaxed, happy and at home while they’re in my care. 🐾
“It has been such a pleasure to have Hollie and Casey sit for Luna! Their communication was amazing from the start and they clearly adore dogs. Luna had the best time, and they brilliantly handled some slightly mischievous behaviour and thunder storms whilst we away 😅 The house was spotless too. Would highly recommend them and will absolutely book with them again in the future 🙂”
About: I've brought up a German Shepherd Dog from a puppy and trained it as a family friendly pet great with young children. Loved taking him on long walk adventures every morning and evening. I've also looked after family pets, cats and dogs. Most recently I've been regularly taking care of a Cotonpoo, weekends and for up to 2 weeks, which has been a delight. Taking him for regular walks and being consistent with his owners routines. I'm currently working part time so have plenty of time to look after your fur baby. I love long walks in nature and along the canals and a dog walk would fit in perfectly. I am happy outdoors in all weather after having a German Shepherd. Your dogs routine is important to me to keep and I can change my routine to fit in with theirs. I have a small fenced garden and also happy to have pets roam freely in my living space/kitchen areas with me. Happy to take care of them in their own homes as required too. Happy to stick with their routine, especially if a young puppy learning boundaries and rules etc.
About: I have been caring for animals as long as I can remember. My mother was a Kennel Club breeder when I was little so I learned to care for pups from a young age. Today, I have two dogs and a cat of my own, and I frequently pet sit for my friends and family. Because of this, I truly understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. My background gives me a deep understanding of animal health and comfort. I attended an RSPCA veterinary summer school, where I studied anatomy and observed surgeries, which helps me spot when a pet is unwell. I also have hands-on experience helping a neighbor with her grooming business, learning how to keep different breeds calm and comfortable. I promise to provide a quiet, safe, and dependable environment for your pet, following their usual routines. Whether they need medical attention, a peaceful walk, or just a quiet companion, I will care for them with the same patience and love I give my own. As my exams are finishing up, I am fully open and flexible for summer pet sitting! Because I am on summer break, I can dedicate my days and nights to your pets and adapt entirely to their usual routines.I am happy to be at your house as much as you need me to keep your pets company. I do return to my own home briefly to care for my own pets, or pop out for errands, but I will always prioritize your pet's schedule and never leave them alone longer than we agree on. My weekends are mostly open, though I have a few pre-planned camping trips and holidays over the summer, which will always be marked off on my Rover calendar well in advance. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities when staying in your home. I ensure all doors and gates remain fully secure, keep dogs strictly leashed on walks, and follow your house rules exactly. I build trust by sending regular photo updates so you know your pets are happy and settled. My RSPCA veterinary summer school training helps me quickly spot if an animal is unwell or uncomfortable. Before your trip, I always note down your vet’s details and emergency contacts.
“Kirsty looked after our frenchie Oscar at our home while we were on holiday. We got daily updates and photos and Oscar seemed very happy and settled in Kirsty’s care. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. We highly recommend using Kirsty.”
“With this being the first time we’d left our puppy for a 2 week holiday, I was understandably nervous, however Charleigh really was wonderful. Staying at our house for the duration Charleigh took great care of Rocky, with regular updates to keep my mind at rest. She was respectful of our house too and I instantly felt at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Charleigh again if we find ourselves heading to sunnier skies again.”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Dudley
Absolutely fantastic sent videos and pictures and kept me updated on their settling progress as it was their first time with a sitter who wasn’t family. Kept the house clean and tidy ready for our return. Even my mommas girls was comfortable with her she even cried when she was gone. Would have been nice to know I was missed by my girls but I’m also happy they were comfortable with Keia. Would definitely use Keia again.
Sophie is very friendly and trustworthy. She loves our 2 Shar Pei's and they reciprocate. The day Sophie spent looking after them was amazing. She sent photos and messages to help us with the separation. It was a great experience and we would recommend Sophie for fur babysitting. Thanks for a super experience. 👍❤️
Jenny & Simon looked after my Bronson for 2 weeks whilst I was abroad. I couldn’t recommend them enough. They sent photos, updates and reassurance whilst I was away but without feeling like I was bombarded. I completely relaxed whilst Bronson was in their care and I cannot thank them enough. My house was tidy and cared for whilst I was away and I will 100% be rebooking in future. Thank you both so much xx
It has been such a pleasure to have Hollie and Casey sit for Luna! Their communication was amazing from the start and they clearly adore dogs. Luna had the best time, and they brilliantly handled some slightly mischievous behaviour and thunder storms whilst we away 😅 The house was spotless too. Would highly recommend them and will absolutely book with them again in the future 🙂
Highly recommend Laura. Kind, considerate and genuinely cares for your pet and home whilst you are away. Our Vizsla enjoyed being care for by Laura, our dog was relaxed, well exercised and content when we returned home and you could see the bond built between Laura and our dog during the week. When Laura left to go home, it was wonderful to see that our dog wanted to say bye and have a cuddle before she left. Would ask Laura to house/dog sit again. Paul & Jo
Kate has been amazing with Tetley. He is old and quite complex in many ways and I was really worried he would be anxious and difficult but Kate managed him really well and looked after our home too! Would highly recommend Kate and would definitely book her again to look after Tetley. She gave medication and care and when we arrived home he was happy and looked well. He has been going to the door and barking, on occasion, since we came back and I think he is waiting for her 🥲 Thank you Kate for allowing us to have a lovely 10 day holiday and relax knowing he was in safe hands :)
Jess is fantastic and has taken such good care of our dog and cat, she treats all pets like they're her own and nothing is too much trouble for her. Loved the regular updates throughout the day to see how they were and it was lovely to see how relaxed they were with Jess. Would recommend to anyone looking for someone who understands pets are family.
Sharon and Evie have been great looking after my dog in my home for 4 nights. I received regular updates and photos so was able to enjoy a holiday with the reassurance that my dog was happy and well cared for. All of Frank’s needs were met and house was looked after. Thank you again!

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 Dudley 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 Dudley, the price of house sitting can vary between £24 and £49 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 Dudley 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.
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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
