“Anna has been fantastic. I recently booked her to stay in my apartment and look after my cat while I was visiting family abroad. She sent regular updates, photos and videos which was very reassuring, she even extended her stay by an extra night last minute when my flight was cancelled. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Neetal is terrific. She spent the day looking after my cockapoo. He appears to have had a super day! She asked lots of great questions before I left and so went off confident he was in good hands. Then she sent me frequent pictures and updates throughout the day. I was hugely reassured. She walked him, played in the garden and gave lots of snuggles. I felt he had loads of attention. When I came back the house was in good order and I had a very happy dog. Perfect!”
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including regularly looking after my sister’s two dogs and cat while she has been away, as well as caring for a friend’s dog. I have also been a cat owner for many years, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency and providing pets with plenty of love, attention and enrichment. My experience has mainly been with cats and small-to-medium sized dogs, but I’m happy to care for dogs of all sizes and take the time to understand each pet’s individual personality, routine and needs. I’m comfortable following instructions for feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime and providing companionship. What sets me apart is my caring and reliable approach. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable and loved while their owner is away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured they are happy and well looked after. I currently have flexible daytime and nighttime availability throughout the week, which allows me to provide plenty of time, attention and companionship for your pets. I’m available for walks, toilet breaks, drop-in visits and in-home pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can feel comfortable and keep their usual routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and treat your pets as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll provide updates and photos if so you can feel reassured. I don’t offer boarding at my own home, but I’m happy to provide house sitting, walks, toilet breaks and drop-in visits.
“Neve was fabulous looking after our Wire Fox Terrier, Marty, for over a week whilst we were on holiday. In advance of us leaving, Marty had been seriously ill and was on three different medications that were administered four times a day so it was a relief that Neve wasn't at all fazed and was more than capable. Neve was a great communicator and regularly sent photos of Marty enjoying his walks and sunbathing. Would highly recommend Neve.”
About: Animals have been a constant in my life from a young age. Life without their companionship isn’t worth living in my opinion. I have a broad experience of animal care from my own beloved pets - from puppy and kitten stage including training and more intense levels of engagement, play and attention, right up to senior years including administration of medications, monitoring conditions, and adapting care to suit the needs to frail or disabled animals. From a young age I offered private dog walking to my local area, both on and off leash, and different distances and levels of interaction depending on the needs and age of the dog and I am currently the go to dog walker, sitter and drop in for my neighbours one of whom has just welcomed a new puppy into their household and with whom I am regularily assisting with toilet breaks, walks, and feeding where needed. I have two cats of my own, who, I also walk having leash trained them from a young age. Living close to a busy road has meant that inorder to provide my kitties with the enrichment and stimulation they deserve, I make sure that I take them out every day if I can where we enjoy play, sunbathing and ‘sniff tours’. I am a reliable and trustworthy individual who will treat your beloved pet as I would my own. I take animal care very seriously and will go over and above to ensure the safety and happiness of all animals within my care. I rent two antiques stalls at a local antique centre, which allows me complete flexibility in my daily life. I can attend to my stall, at times that suit me; as little or as often as I need to. Therefore, I am able to offer complete flexibility when it comes to availability for pet care. I have mentioned already in my bio about my two beloved cats and the leash training that I have done with them and the outdoor enrichment this provides them safely, in an area which is otherwise, in my opinion, not safe for cats to roam freely. I devote myself to my pets and to the animals in my care; their needs come first, always. I offer everything from hands on engagement, play, grooming, medication administration and exercise to distanced companionship for those who want space and nothing more than to feel a presence within the home or an owner who requires the peace of mind that a watchful eye provides while they are away.
“We would leave a 6 star review if we could. This is the first time we have used a dog sitter. We were very nervous about leaving our 2 dogs (both have their own insecurities) but they were instantly at ease with Richard and we returned to find the house just as we’d left it and lovely and clean and tidy. Richard’s regular updates reassured us that they were happy and very well looked after and we couldn’t have asked for a better service. Highly recommended.”
“Sophie looked after my mum’s rescue cat Cyril for a week, which was the first time he had been left on his own since she got him last September. Sophie was good at communicating and always replied to my messages with pictures and videos of Cyril chilling and enjoying all the attention he was getting! He was clearly relaxed, purring and enjoying her company and even joined her at the end of the bed when she stayed over. Clearly a natural! Would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend.”
“Merrily is a hit with our cats! She has taken a lot of time out to learn how to deal with our cat’s special needs, and it’s clear she understands and loves animals. We also had a lot of communication and photo/video updates during the weekend house sitting for us which was reassuring. Thank you so much!”
“James looked after Hattie (cat) in our home for almost three weeks and did a brilliant job. He sent me a video and photo of Hattie everyday. He was able to give Hattie probiotics when required and sent us a video of her taking the probiotics. Hattie is an anxious and shy cat but I could see that she was very fond of James and happy to be in his company. Thanks James for the excellent communication while we were away and providing Hattie with fantastic care!”
“Eloise was a great house-sitter. She looked after our two dogs and two cats when we were away for a long weekend. She took the dogs out for 2 walks a day, and when one of the cats brought in a live bird she coped with it really well! Would definitely book again.”
“Leah was absolutely brilliant with Dave! She provided great updates with plenty of pictures and even did some training with our little furry boy. Definitely recommend and we will use her again in the future! 😊”
About: I am a calm, organised and trustworthy individual and a lover of all animals! I have grown up around dogs, cats and horses - an equestrian centre was practically my second home as a child! I am sensitive and understanding to individual animal’s needs and am able to follow specific instructions I’m currently looking to fill my time in between travel trips and I will be more than happy to look after your furry friends! I have years of experience with my own dogs keeping them safe and happy at home and in outdoor environments - on and off of leads. I have also been brought up around cats and horses - an equestrian centre was practically my second home as a child! I will carefully follow any individual instructions provided to look after your pets and am more than happy to cater to their personal needs.
“Darrin was amazing with my two girls. Such a lovely man who truly cares for animals . My doggies felt so comfortable with him which is all I could ever wish for. Darrin was also so accommodating with our request for him to bring our girls to our wedding venue for a short time in order to grab some pics. Thank you for everything?”
“Thomas took wonderful care of our dog, Luka. He kept us regularly updated with messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our holiday. It was clear that Luka was in very good hands. If we have the opportunity in the future, we would absolutely love to ask Thomas to look after Luka again. Highly recommended.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats all my life. Have been an owner as well as worked in the industry. I enjoy walks with the doggies and then snuggles with the cats (if they are interested) I have friends who have relied on me to take care of their fur babies whilst away. I work from home 3 days a week, and then at home during the weekend too. I enjoy the company of animals whilst I am working from home, also i enjoy the fresh walks at the weekend and the joy of playing with them and my children like to get involved too. I have a secure fenced garden which is half grass and half concrete. Always respectful of the owners instructions and/or home dependant on the service being offered. I have lots of doggy friendly parks near me too.
“I’ve just returned from a 10 day holiday and was able to relax while away as Emilia was looking after my Golden Retriever in my home. She was excellent with him. I was able to monitor him in the garden via my camera App and could see he was happy playing and wagging his tail, so not stressing that I was away. She took him for walks twice a day and did all that I requested of her. I would certainly have her look after Dylan again and be more than happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Isabella was amazing with Bennie and Lyra for the day when I was away. She kept me regularly updated with photos and messages. Would STRONGLY recommend her for dog sitting and we can’t wait to have her again ♥️”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Epsom is £35

Venice had a lovely time with Christie. Christie kept us updated with photos so we had no concerns and we could see Venice was more than happy. Venice was calm and settled when we returned home at the end of the week. We highly recommend Christie as the perfect cat sitter.
Harry looked after our two dogs and house sat while we were away for eight nights. From first meeting Harry we were confident that he was the ideal choice. Our dogs bonded with him immediately and he was very keen to learn as much information about them as possible. While we were away Harry updated us about how things were going with photos and Whats App messages about the walks and activities he had been doing with the dogs. On our return the house was immaculate and Harry had even left us some cut flowers in a vase. The dogs were very well cared for and had had a lovely time while we were away. We can't rate Harry highly enough and will definitely book him again the next time we are away.
We were very blessed to have Sophie come look after Bennie and Lyra while we went to a friends birthday. Lyra had been neutered the day before and Sophie is a qualified vet so we were very comfortable that Lyra was in the best hands possible. She kept us updated all day with photos and notes of their progress. An absolute gem- highly recommend Sophie 😊
Amy was absolutely wonderful; she looked after my cat Luna amazingly. I was very anxious as Luna is an elderly cat with health needs, but Amy did everything I asked and more! Luna also loved her! Amy was very responsive to messages and sent lots of photos and updates, putting me at ease. I can’t recommend her enough ❤️
I felt completely at ease leaving my two boys with Tanika. She sent regular updates and photos, which made such a difference while I was away. Milo and Finn were clearly relaxed and well cared for, and she understood their personalities straight away. I came home to two very happy cats. :) Highly recommend!
I can't recommend Sabrina highly enough. She won over a very tough customer, my chihuahua with separation anxiety, with remarkable ease. Normally, it takes my dog several visits with a new sitter before she's calm and relaxed when I get home. But after her very first time with Sabrina, she was completely at ease and showed no signs of anxiety. That was incredible and brought me great peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book Sabrina again.
Neve did wonderfully well with Evie during one of the hottest times of this summer. Evie struggles when she is hot so Neve walked her around 6am in the morning before it was too hot for Evie. Neve kept Evie in the room with air conditioning and made sure the house was as comfortable for Evie that it could be with shutters and blinds closed against the heat. The house was immaculate when we got back and Neve was very good putting up with our return at a later time than we had hoped. We would book Neve again.
Elena was such a blessing! We were let down by a sitter, and Elena arrived last minute, happy to take on the challenge. She was understanding, kept constant communication with us and took our dog out on so many adventures - He probably misses her more than he missed us on holiday! She even went the extra mile to ensure the house was left in a lovely condition when we returned. Elena listened to everything we asked and even fed our little fish on our behalf. She was easy going, friendly, transparent and knowledgeable when caring for our large german shephard X Doberman rescue. We will definitely be working with Elena again in the future! Thank you!!
I could not recommend Sara more! She was absolutely incredible with Zedley, sent daily updates and looked after him as if he was her own. We were away for over 10 days and I felt completely relaxed and at ease knowing he was so well looked after. There is no doubt in my mind that Zedley misses her now. Thank you for being so amazing Sara
Mel was an amazing dog sitter in our home during our week away. We felt so reassured knowing our 7 month old pup Cali was so content and well looked after by her. Mel sent regular updates that allowed us to see how happy Cali was and meant we could relax whilst away. Mel looked after our home so well and did everything we needed. Would highly recommend Mel as a kind, capable dog sitter.
James was excellent and we are very happy with his service. He stayed at our home for 7 nights, kept it in immaculate condition and most importantly our pets (1 dog and 2 cats) were very well looked after. Highly recommend James and we will be booking him again. Thank you James!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Epsom on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 17,037 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Epsom. 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 Epsom 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 Epsom 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:
- 90% 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.
