“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“You would like to thank Merrily for an exceptional good care of our boy Cooper! That was our first meet and definitely not the last one! From the first meeting Merrily was very prompt on the appointment and cooper really appreciate that she brought him a nice treat! The whole communication was very good and she had no problem following our instructions regarding cooper!! She send us a lot of photos and we saw cooper was very happy with her! On another note she treat our house with respect and we came back and found a very ride and clean home!! We are looking forward for our next meeting special Cooper!!”
“Jamie seems kind and calm. He took my occasionally nervous 5yo Anatolian Ahepherd mix, Liza, out for a walk with a view to getting to know her and dog sit in the future. Send me some videos of the walk and Liza had warmed to him quickly. Jamie seems very friendly, confirmed by Liza’s willingness to be walked by him and it all went to plan.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mum nurtured my love for them early on—she used to feed pigeons from our first‑floor windowsill, and together we would help any injured birds that needed care. Since then, I’ve shared my life with a turtle, a rabbit, a cat, and of course, dogs. Friends who trust me with their pets often say I have endless patience and a natural gift for understanding dogs. Nevertheless safety of your pet is as much important to me. That is why when carrying about your furry friend I will definitely follow the information and instructions provided and I will dedicate my full attention making sure your baby feels safe and comfortable. I am currently working part-time, with flexible schedule, so I would have loads of time to look after your dog. I'm available for boarding most weekends and week-days too with sufficient notice. I have a nice large open plan downstairs area and a fenced garden. My friendly dog Milo will keep your furry pet a company. There are number of local parks where I take my dog for walks, so will be happy to take your dog too if you don't mind.
“Gave mango a wonderful weekend and clearly loves dog. Incredibly communicative and would recommend Dom to anyone who needs someone to take care of their dog :)”
“This was the second time Ross dog sat for Juno. She was delighted to see him when he arrived very punctually. He kept her entertained and happy while we were out and gave us updates about how she was doing. Great dog sitter.”
About: I have looked after and helped take care of animals for many years and I absolutely love it. I really enjoy the process of building a connection with an animal and getting to know them. During my travels over the last couple of years I have looked after a whole variety of dogs and cats. I am always very active and so love taking dogs for walks, runs or hikes. While I also love to relax, play and cuddle with them too. I would say I particularly connect with bigger more active dogs but the smaller ones also have a place in my heart. I brought up a Labrador puppy and have gained more experience with training all sorts of dogs, finding it easy to have the patience required to train them. I have built my best connections with cats over the last five years, also looking after stray cats along my travels whenever possible. I find connecting with them and really understanding a particular cats personality comes naturally to me. I’m always more at peace with them around. I am just coming back from travelling the last two years and have decided to just pet sit for the rest of this year. This way I can keep my schedule flexible and spend as much time with animals as possible when I am looking after them. I’m always one to get up and out early especially if the dogs need more than one walk.In my spare time I’m playing music and learning new instruments which keeps me flexible to walk and give attention to pets throughout the day. I love to exercise outdoors, take walks and go for runs, dogs can join for all of these. It’s always a pleasure to have the company and go for extra walks! I have a fenced garden so dogs can spend as much time outside as they like, roaming between here and indoors. There is a good size park across the road for small walks and running around off the lead. Cats can also venture around here safely. From home I can walk to Epsom/Ashtead common for longer walks and more time off the lead. Within a 10 minute drive I can be on Epsom Downs or Horton Country Park, while slightly further there is Headley Heath. This makes it easy to give them a whole variety of walks. If I am to be staying at your place I will be just as keen for many walks. With this being my primary work I will find it easy to give your pets the attention and love they desire. I don’t currently have any pets so at mine your pets would have the place to themselves with me.
“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!”
“Darrin was very good with Mavis. He picked up on her cues very quickly and I could tell she was very settled when I got back each time. I would happily recommend him to anyone and will hopefully be using him again.”
“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!”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 16 years, unfortunately my dog past away few years ago and I work from.home so want to walk dogs so I can play with them again. I work from home as Web designer. Have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I used to walk my dog 3 times a day and 40 mins each time. Will do the same to yours unless they refuse thinks it is too much. I live in a flat and shared green area. There are huge park nearby and I go for walk daily and would love to bring dogs with me. I live by myself, owner. Wooden floor, clean and tidy. I am caring and live animals. They love me as well. I will treat each dog as my own. They will be well looked after.
“Ralph was happy with Lucie staying. He is a sensitive soul but he settled with Lucie and enjoyed going out on adventures with her. We would definitely use Lucie again.”
“Samuel is such a good companion to Betty. He meets her where she is, makes it a breeze for us to leave when she's anxious, and goes above and beyond to ensure she's comfortable and happy. We always have such peace of mind leaving Betty in Samuel's safe hands, plus he's communicative and timely.”
“Izzy was great with our 3 cats and dog. I loved the way she connected with each of them and described their characters perfectly. I’m so glad we now have a reliable sitter, who truly loves animals and is responsible with regards to our house security.”

We are so pleased we found Merrily and she was available to look after Dotty. From the outset when she had her first meet and greet with Dotty we could tell she was going to put her needs first and was an absolute delight to deal with. Merrily sent regular updates and took Dotty on all sorts of adventures; it was one of the first holidays I have taken as a pet owner where I have had zero worries about leaving. Would thoroughly recommend working with Merrily.
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
