“Lara does a great job with our cat, who requires special care due to some health issues. She lets the cat guide her. Our cat is not very affectionate, but Lara almost got a lap on her first visit! She must clearly be doing something right! Lara is organised, communicated very well and is excellent at setting expectations about availability. Highly recommend!”
“Seffie was a great match for Shirley,who can,on occasion,not be the easiest of dogs as she is reactive to a lot of other dogs on walks,and in public places.Seffie had the kindness and confidence to manage her well,and carried out instructions to the letter.I received daily updates on Shirley's welfare,and was confident that she was being looked after(and indulged!)as she would be by me.In conclusion,I was extrenely happy and would have no hesitation in recommending Seffie to anyone that is looking for a compassionate and capable sitter.”
“Georgia was great with mine and my sister’s dogs. We were kept up to date throughout the evening and received pictures of what the boys were up. Georgia is super friendly and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Amelia was fantastic with our fur baby, Brodie. First of all, she was excellent at communicating with us from our initial enquiry through to the end of her pet sitting with Brodie. She sent lots of photos, followed instructions perfectly, wasn’t phased by potential rain and managed to get in a nice long walk with Brodie, and again communicated really well. We will definitely call on her again!”
“We are first timers using Rover.com so were a little unsure how it would all work. We were handing over our home as well as our dog after all! We needn't have worried :) Ella was great. She took on board all we said about our rescued Staffy-X and her idiosyncrasies! We came home to a very relaxed, happy dog, after a twelve-hour house sit. Thank you so much Ella - we have already made another booking.”
“Great experience with Banita. Cant recommend highly enough. Made my dog feel at ease as soon as they met (appreciated meeting my dog before the booking). Very confident and I can tell my dog had a great day with Banita (14 hours) whilst I had a very long day in London Thank you”
“Holly responded quickly to my short notice booking, arrived on time and immediately had Norman trying his best to convince her that he's a very good boy! I'm not sure she was entirely taken in, and the two had a great few hours. I will be using her again when I need someone to provide doggy cuddles!”
“Lexi was really communicative and looked after Luis and the house really well. He seemed happy when we returned and his feeder was filled and used properly. The house was also left clean and tidy. We’d love to have Lexi look after Luis again soon. Thank you!”
“We were so happy with Lauren looking after our dog and 3 cats. She kept us informed throughout with lots of photos and messages and we felt very confident she was looking after our gang really well. We would definitely use her again.”
“Dominika was absolutely brilliant with Dave! Really understanding and accommodating. She kept me fully informed throughout the day with pictures and videos. Dave had a blast playing with all the toys and getting all the cuddles. Highly recommend!”
“We were absolutely thrilled to have Sally look after our new Cavapoo puppy Teddy. She is so friendly, warm and clearly loves looking after dogs. She sent me lovely update messages and took the most stunning photo’s. We will definitely use Sally again and highly recommend her.”
“Kayleigh & Jacob did a great job looking after Hector, who can be demanding at times. They kept us fully updated with how he was doing, and also left the house nice and clean. We’d happily use them again.”
“Megan and Harry were absolutely stellar! They took care of Paddington at our house for an overnight stay and everything went great. Paddington can be quite nervous but they made him feel safe straight away and we found him very happy when we got back. We’ll definitely trust them with Paddington again.”
“Athina is a fantastic dog sitter, very calm and capable and I would highly recommend her. She recently looked after our Husky cross who we rescued quite recently and who suffers from separation anxiety. We were therefore naturally apprehensive about leaving him for the first time but we needn’t have worried! Athina did a brilliant job, following our instructions carefully and keeping his routine the same for consistency. She is a real natural around dogs and I’m sure she could teach us a thing or two! We came back to a very happy dog. We will definitely use Athina’s services again!”
“Emma was fantastic with our dog whilst we were away, taking him on long walks giving us daily updates and photos. We were reassured knowing how well he was being cared for. Would highly recommend booking Emma .”
“April was a delight! We booked her last minute, and she kept us updated with photos and events from her day with our dog. Will definitely ask April to help us out again. Thank you April.”
“Danielle was able to help us out with our dog Reuben very last minute which we were so appreciative of. She also did an amazing job looking after our dog, excellent communication and really took the time during a meet and greet to get to know Reuben. We will definitely be using her again! Very happy 😊”
“From our first contact to a ‘debrief’ call after, Ross was professional and reliable, and made us feel confident that our dogs would be looked after well. He was happy to see come over before hand to meet the dogs, and us. While we were away we loved the regular photo updates and could see both dubs were happy and at ease with Ross and Courtney. House also was spotless when we got home. Really appreciated the feedback afterwards too. Thank you so much for looking caring for our pouches so well! Will definitely use again.”
“Sherlock had the best time with Jack - he was so excited to see him and extremely relaxed the whole day. Jack provided great communication and we felt confident and comfortable leaving Sherlock with him. Sherlock is 8 months old and can be quite hard work, but it seems like Jack took it all in his stride!”

What can I say about except exceptional care towards Henlow - the regular messages and pictures were very much appreciated. Henlow took to Sally immediately and that is always a very reassuring sign. 100% book Sally to look after your pets she’s amazing Thank you so much
Zoe was lovely! Very gentle with pancake who took to her very quickly. Kept us informed with messages and pictures, did exactly what we asked and took the time to meet pancake ahead of the sitting day, which does wonders for a shy dog. Would definitely book again.
Danielle was able to help us out with our dog Reuben very last minute which we were so appreciative of. She also did an amazing job looking after our dog, excellent communication and really took the time during a meet and greet to get to know Reuben. We will definitely be using her again! Very happy 😊
Ross looked after my gorgeous girls so well and I am glad to have found him. Both dogs took to cross immediately. Would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter. Enjoyed the pup updates and thank you for keeping the house clean even though I said I didn’t care..
Holly was the perfect cat sitter for us — proactive, responsible, and communicative. She followed our instructions for Pushkin perfectly, and we soon relaxed into our holiday in the knowledge that he was in really good hands. We came back to a very smug and satisfied cat, and a very tidy home, which we truly appreciate! Would definitely recommend Holly to other cat owners, and we will definitely book Holly again.
Margo is a loving warm an caring person. She looked after my beagle boy for 2 weeks. She sent regular updates and news on his general wellbeing. I loved how she got to know him and commented on his unique behaviours and habits. I will definitely use her services again. Thank you Margo and Max.
I had a wonderful experience with Johanna. She was so thoughtful and came by a few days beforehand to meet my puppy, which really put me at ease. During her time with my pup, Johanna very kindly sent pic updates, and clearly is a natural with dogs. I came home to a happy puppy and couldn’t be more grateful. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter 🐶
Maya is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter / house sitter. She took care of my special needs dog with utmost consideration and patience. She is kind and friendly. My dog loved her from the moment she met her! We are grateful for Maya and will absolutely welcome her back to our home to take care of our girl.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elmbridge 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 .

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 Elmbridge 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 Elmbridge 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:
- 89% 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.
