About: I’ve spent the last few years travelling and volunteering at wildlife rehabilitation centres learning about a wide variety of animals from eagles to kangaroos. My partner and I have missed having pets at home but due to our current lifestyle we’re unable to look into getting a pet ourselves. I’m hoping to help a few people out with pet walking/sitting (and help with any other critters people have!). I’m happy and comfortable with any pets who may need medications. I have a varied schedule but in general have Tuesdays, Wednesdays off and late afternoon/evenings available. I work a varied schedule. I always have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. The rest of the week I am free sometime after 2-4:30 With my experience I have learnt how to clearly read animals and understand not every animal is the same. I’m confident in ensuring a happy and safe environment for what your pet may need.
“Sharon, as always, professional, friendly and was great with the kitties, always providing great updates and pictures to let me know they are well. They are getting to know her now and love being fussed. I would recommend her too anyone. Always my first pick when I go away. Sarah”
“Robyn is brilliant and she made sure that our cat was happy and cared for. We couldn't have found a better person to look after our cat. Robyn is a great communicator and always responded promptly if we had any questions. I can't recommend her enough.”
About: I have a good level of experience when it comes to caring for our furry friends! My little best friend is a 1 year old dachshund x frenchie! I have hands on experience with reactive dogs from my previous dog who was a very nervous Chihuahua! I work full time but shift work. I typically work 3 x 13 hour days, therefore lots of spare time to meet all your lovely doggies! Although I am unable to offer pets in my own home at the moment, I am more than capable of looking after pets in your own home.
“Alex has been really good with Gizmo (a puppy)—he took to her straight away. She’s very personable and was friendly and easy to talk to from the first meeting. She’s been really flexible, reliable, and quick to respond, even with me changing dates. I’ve felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Would definitely recommend 👍”
About: I’ve always been a massive dog lover and have always taken care of any dogs that I was given the chance to. My family and family friends have trusted me to walk and feed their lovely pets, aging from puppies to 13 year old doggies. I also am willing to enforce good lead and walking manner in order to keep up your pup’s training. I am unemployed at this point in time. I am pretty much free the majority of the week. I will be working by a first come, first served basis. I have a spacious fenced garden. For walks, I would ask beforehand about your pups temperament(s) so that I will be prepared if need be. I am happy to walk reactive dogs, as long as a muzzle is provided (for precautions). I would not let your pup off their lead, unless I personally can trust them with their recall. I’d let your fur baby explore some new spots, meet some new friends, and let all their energy out. If you have any queries, please contact me for any more details!
“Agata is so patient in feeding our elderly cat her meds and looking after our home and pets whilst we are away. She is so kind and thoughtful with the updates and we highly recommend her to anyone using Rover. Thanks again Agata you are a star!”
“I was worried about leaving my cat for 2 weeks but felt very reassured that she was taken good care of with Hilary, who has a real genuine love of cats and made sure that Frida had all her needs met.”
About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home
About: I love dogs, have owned them since childhood, and along with my sister have helped foster and find home for rescues for the past 5 years. I have a four year old small breed mix named Rue. I work from home, so I’m home all day long to give your pup the love and affection he or she craves. My apartment features a fenced backyard for free running, and is near a lovely park where dogs go to play. My recently passed dog, Baxter, had epilepsy and took medication daily, so I’m familiar with dogs with special needs as well. I’ve owned or helped foster many breeds and will listen and tend to your dogs specific needs. Dogs are like family members in my home, so will be showed the utmost comfort while you’re away.
About: I have years of experience working with and owning dogs. I volunteered at Battersea Dogs and Cats as a Kennel Support Volunteer, and several years ago worked as an assistant to the Veterinary Nurses at Coombefield Vet Surgery. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, including a German Shepherd and Springer cross Lab. I now own a working Cocker Spaniel called Goose! I am very confident in my abilities and approach with caring for animals, due to years of training and experience working and existing alongside them. I am happy caring for bigger dogs, elderly dogs with multiple needs, the more energetic breeds, and all in-between! I have recently had a short break from Rover whilst I moved back to Devon after living in London, I am very excited to start Rover back up again. I will love and look after your dog like they are my own so know they are in very safe and capable hands. The reviews on my profile from past bookings are a testament to that. I work from home 3 days a week so your dog would be with me and my dog Goose on those days, company all day long! I walk Goose twice a day, morning and afternoon, as a minimum, so your dog would join us on those walks. I have a fully secure, fenced in garden and keep the back door open all day so your dog will be able to wander in and out with Goose! If I have your dog over a weekend, they will tag along with me and Goose doing our usual of a big walk somewhere new, usually a woodland or coastal route. In your home I am very respectful, clean and tidy and will follow any instructions as you have advised, for example not allowing pets upstairs or on furniture if this is the way you have trained them. Day-care I bring my own food and will leave your home as clean as I have found it. I request at least one meet up prior to accepting bookings to ensure we are all the right match for each other :)
“Matt was able to look after my animals - alpacas and chickens - at short notice. We met before I went away so that he knew what was needed and where everything was. Matt ensured that all the animals were fed and watered and the coops cleaned - he even watered my greenhouse plants for me. It was great knowing that I had left the animals in safe hands - Matt sent me a viseo and let me know that all was well by text. I wouldn't hesitate to use Matt again.”
About: I have over 10 years experience looking after dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am a calm person with a big heart and I think animals can sense that so they warm to me almost instantly. I love walking and exploring different areas and I get so much enjoyment seeing dogs happy and enjoying themselves. I’ve been pet sitting full time for the last 2 years (on a different app) I have lots of references that I can share with you. Owners regularly ask me back which is nice. I often look after dogs that need medication and I have no problem administering this so long as you give me clear instructions. I have experience with both puppies who need regular attention and elderly dogs that need slower walks and less attention. I am happy with both :) I work for a sustainability company and my role is fully remote which works perfectly when caring for animals. I am an early riser and out the door for a walk, again on my lunchbreak and after work. So they will get plenty of exercise with me ! When caring for animals in your home I will follow the rules and instructions that you provide. I am very responsible and often I am with your animals 24/7 only popping out for food or a run. I like to take dogs out first thing in the morning, again mid day and after work. I don’t like the idea of a dog being stuck inside at all so I try and take them out as much as I can. I am very respectful of people’s homes and will always leave your home clean and tidy. People often ask me back because I leave their homes immaculate. I also like to provide videos and photos regularly to give you peace of mine they’re being well looked after :)

The average cost of Pet Sitting in East Devon on Rover is £18 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £31 per Visit.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
Yes. There are up to 557 pet sitters offering care in and around East Devon. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
