“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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 ♥️”
About: A West End performer filling in my mornings before I go to work in the evening. Always been surrounded by dogs since a young age be it my friends or family’s. Started walking and looking after my Nans dog when I was little and wanted a dog ever since but due to work commitments. Love getting outside and going on walks in my spare time early morning, and weekends and have always thought how I’d love to do it with a dog! I’m caring and sensible and can tell the signs of a dogs behaviour and when they need calming down. Currently a student and love exploring the Surrey area as there are some beautiful walks around! Would be looking to look after dogs early morning before my lectures. evenings and all weekend! Will follow the instructions you give me extremely carefully and make sure your dog gets the right amount of food snacks and sleep that it needs to enjoy the day!
“Izzy has been great with our little ragdoll girl Khaleesi whom she looked after during a week over Xmas. She is very reliable, communicative and sweet ; she got on well with Khaleesi and sent me pics of her daily. She left the flat spotless and I can only highly recommend her for any pet sitting. ”
“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!”
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.
“Jamie was a fantastic house sitter and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after Kaos and Kovu. From the moment we met him at the introduction, he built an instant rapport with them, which immediately put us at ease. His communication throughout our time away was excellent. He kept us updated and reassured, which meant a lot to us while we were gone. Kaos clearly had a wonderful time with him, enjoying plenty of long walks and attention, and Jamie was incredibly gentle and affectionate with our Bengal cat, Kovu. It was clear that he genuinely cared about the boys and took the responsibility seriously. We came home to two very happy pets and a well-looked-after home, which is exactly what every pet owner hopes for. We would absolutely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive house sitter.”
“Sophie went above and beyond to ensure my mum’s cat received care by staying an extra night after my mum’s train home from her trip was cancelled due to bad weather. She was communicative and understanding through the process of arranging another stay last minute and was a lifesaver! Really appreciated.”
“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?”
“Emilia was great with our 3 year old energetic lab. She was very responsive and kept us updated while we were away. The house was left clean and our dog was very well taken care of!”
“Wish we could give 10 stars! Ross took amazing care of our cat Big G while we were away on holiday and left our home super tidy for when we came home. Will definitely book again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Epsom is £35

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!
Lucy and Amber had a wonderful stay with Gerry. She made us feel very comfortable at the meet and greet and clearly had a lot of confidence with dogs. We were updated throughout and felt very happy that our girls were being cared for brilliantly. Would definitely use Gerry again.
Emilia is a completely trustworthy, charming young lady and a pleasure to deal with. My dog (a cockapoo) took to her immediately. She is very punctual, she left our house spotless, and a happy dog, absolutely nothing to fault. Would recommend to anyone with hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Epsom on Rover is £49.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
