“We absolutely loved having Jo housesit and cat sit for our little Biscuit. She made us feel so comfortable with little kitty updates and videos. Biscuit also was super happy to have someone give her so much love and attention while we were gone. Perfect!!”

About: Dogs have been part of our family for 30 years or more. We have 2 dogs currently and I very much enjoy caring for other dogs in their own homes and surroundings. I have cared for many different breeds and ages. I am a retired registered nurse, so my time is my own. I am married so i am able to be away from home whilst my own dogs are cared for by my husband. I am not currently looking to board dogs in my own home, as this would not be suitable with our own two dogs. However this may be possible if there are no other options

“Sharon looked after my Dog Nancy Saturday overnight while I was away. She can and met Nancy before hand at short notice and offered to have for me. She was amazing and Nancy loved having her stay. When I returned home Nancy was very chilled out and relaxed. I would definitely have Sharon mind Nancy for me again.”

About: Hi! We're Angie & Alex, full-time professional house and pet sitters and dog walker. We have both always loved animals and grown up looking after dogs and cats. I (Angie) grew up with dogs (a spaniel, a lab and a German Shepherd), whilst Alex grew up with cats. We now move around looking after different, wonderful dogs and cats, and their owners' homes while they're on extended trips (usually 2+ weeks). We give all animals the individual care and attention they need. So far this year we the pet sits have included: elderly dogs (including giving them medication), a couple of energetic, young golden retrievers, a wisler and dachshund duo, an adorable young Labrador, and a pack of dachshunds. We give all pets the individual care and attention they need, as they are all unique. Our favourite thing to do is getting outside with dogs, enjoying lots of walks in nature, and Angie also offers dog walking in the East Devon area. We both work remotely, so we are at home all during the work week. Angie works part-time and flexi hours, so she is available to meet longer walking needs, if required. When we're not working, we're dedicated to the pets, and make any social plans fit around the animals' needs. We only do house-sitting, staying at the owner's house, and usually for 2+ weeks at a time. We take great care to learn from you what your animal needs and work with those needs. It's important to us that dogs and cats feel safe and comfortable with us, and that they thrive in our care. We ensure their routines are not disrupted; such as taking them on as long or short walks as they need and at the times they're used to. We can also administer medication, and give them playtime and attention.

“It’s always difficult to trust your beloved dogs, puppies and canine family to people who are new to your pack. But Patrick has been amazing. He made the trip to meet my two dogs who are very different in their needs and personalities. Every day we have been away I have had an update on what they have been upto, photos and amazing communication. As a pet owner it was great to receive the updates but also good to see how Patrick had settled into our home and community. I can’t recommend him enough, really pleased we chose each other and for the service I received. We will be using him again. Thank you Patrick”

About: I’ve always had a dog at home and have looked after dogs for neighbours, family and friends over the years, as well as a few cats. I just really love being around animals and getting to know their different personalities. I’m happy taking dogs out for walks and playing with them, but also very happy just sitting with them and having a cuddle in the evening. I’ll always do my best to make them feel comfortable and looked after while you’re away. I’m a uni student in Exeter, so I’d be able to fit pet care quite naturally into my daily routine. In the mornings, I’d feed them and take them out for a walk before heading to lectures. During the longer breaks in my day, I’d come home to let them out and spend a bit of time with them. Then in the evenings, I’d take them out for another walk, or we could just have a cosy evening together watching a nature show or something! Then weekends are totally free so a nice long walk if they’re up for it! I love animals and would treat them with lots of care, patience and attention, while making sure to follow their usual routine and anything their owner asks of me. I’d also be respectful of their home and keep everything clean and tidy. I’d be happy to give regular updates and photos too, so the owner knows their pet is doing well and feels reassured while they’re away.

“We feel very lucky to have found Amy to take care of our dog, cat and other animals while we were away for over a week. Our anxious labrador was happy staying in our her own home, while our rather skittish cat even seems to have developed a new confidence while we've been away. The house was left very clean and tidy and Amy even put the bins out so we didn't have to do it on the evening we came home - we'd definitely use Amy again. Thanks Amy - you were brilliant :)”

“I had a fantastic experience with Agata as our dog sitter! She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, providing excellent care for my pup. Her communication was great, she kept me updated and ensured I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The service she provided was exceptional, and it was clear that my puppy was very happy under her care. Agata's expertise and genuine love for dogs really shone through. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

About: I'm a PhD student at Exeter uni studying animal welfare in marine biology, particularly in fish. I love animals and always have loved cats. In my last few years of school before leaving for uni our family got a British Shorthair kitten called Ragnar (he's 9 now and a wonderful sweet boy) and a couple years after that we adopted a stray kitten called Tessa (she's quirky and very fun). I've taken care of our cats and take over all cat duties when I'm back home in the holidays. I've pet sat over the years including cats, dogs, fish of course and chickens!

About: As a dog-owner with plenty of neighbours with pet, I have been a reliable source whenever my neighbours have needed someone to look after their dogs / cats. I am super-active and love taking dogs out for long walks on beaches, local parks and discovering new places! I am an incoming medical student starting at Oxford, looking for a little extra cash to help me with my studies, as well as an opportunity to look after loads of furry friends!!! I’m currently not working and am in a stage where I am in preparation for university, and so I have plenty of time and flexibility to look after your pets. I have a 14 year old dog who is super friendly, but as I live with my family I am able to accommodate your pet without bringing my dog. I have a medium-sized garden and live right by lots of parks and the quay so there are lots of lovely walks that I will be able to take your dogs on! My own dog is super pet-friendly and would love to keep your little one company. I take my dog out for regular breaks and so your furry friend will have lots of outdoor time should they need it!

“Zoe answered our request immediately even though it was at relatively short notice. We met up the next day where Freya’s immediate response was very positive. Zoe asked all the right questions to understand and get to know Freya and her idiosyncrasies. Zoe contacted us a couple of times during the three day sit on minor issues which were quickly resolved. The only problem was that when it was time for her to leave Freya insisted on following her out of the door! Zoe clearly has an infinity with dogs and a caring attitude. We felt complete confidence in her and will have no hesitation in using her again and recommending her to others. Thanks Zoe.”

FAQs for House Sitting – East Devon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in East Devon on Rover is £51.75 per night (as of September 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 339 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Devon. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 East Devon 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 East Devon 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
