“This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with a sitter and have to say I was quite anxious about it all as I know Jasper can be a handful and quite clingy. Phoebe stayed at our house for the week we went abroad and have to say I’m really glad I chose Phoebe. She understood how anxious he gets when there’s no humans around and she spent a lot of time with him. Lots of cuddles, walks and taking good care of him generally. She kept the house clean and tidy in our absence so it was nice to come back to a clean house. Thanks so much phoebe for looking after our boy and goose ♥️”
“Teo did a fantastic job house-sitting and looking after our dog for the day. She was very professional but also very friendly. She sent us updates throughout the day of how everything was going and our dog had a great time in her care.”
About: I work at the University and can help with walking your dog early in the morning or in the evenings, I also have experience with dog sitting and would be happy to dog sit at your house, but unfortunately cannot host pets in my flat. I grew up with several dogs, small to medium in size, but I get along with bigger dogs too! Our family dogs' personalities and temperaments are all over the shop - one is an embodiment of a sloth, one - a duracell bunny and one is all round maniac (but a good boy nevertheless). I recently came back to Rover as I miss contact with dogs and can't give a permanent home to any due to living in a flat. I hope this will be a good match with your needs! I'm an early bird, so I can help with walking your dogs in the mornings to help with your morning routine. I am also available in the evenings and all day most weekends. I can't host dogs in my flat at the moment, but I have experience dog sitting at owner's houses. I will follow the routines that you have established with your dog, including any food / leaving routines.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my puppy. She was incredibly accommodating to all of my puppy’s needs and made sure he was comfortable and happy the entire time. She always kept in touch with regular pupdates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the moment I picked him up that my puppy was so happy with her. I would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs almost my entire life. For the past 2 and a halve years I have been fostering dogs for a rescue, but I had to stop because I was required to go back into the office for work. I work from home on Friday and Monday though, so can dog-sit for long weekends I will provide multiple walks a day and make sure your dog(s) get enough play/attention. I work from home on Friday and Monday and the weekends are free. Our day would consists of multiple walks, time to play and cuddles.😁 I have been an experienced foster for rescue dogs, but had to stop because of work requiring me to go back into the office 3 days a week. Your dog will be well taken care of and they will get loads of attention. I will send updates every day.
“We hired Chyna last minute to watch over our dog Max and cat Jess in our home for 2 weeks whilst we went on holiday. Chyna was absolutely amazing, I hate leaving our furballs but she was so kind and welcoming it made it so much easier. We got daily updates and photos from Chyna which we were so thankful for, she walked Max even in the worst of storms and our animals loved her ❤️ She even went the extra mile and looked after our fish and watered our plants. When we got home the house was spotless, you would never even know that she was there. Thank you SO much Chyna, 100% recommend and we will always be using her in the future.”
“Amazing - Jasmine is an angel !! Couldn’t ask for a more lovely person to trust and look after my babies ! Jasmine sent so many updates and was constantly in touch which was so reassuring to me. She left everything perfectly as well 🩷 I would ask Jasmine to look after them again in a heartbeat and you can really tell how much she loves and cares for kitties!! Thank you so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻 xxxx”
“Hugo has had the best time with Lauren caring for him. I chose the boarding option and was updated with photos regularly and also WhatsApp messages and through the Rover app. He has clearly been so well cared for and has been able to stick to his usual routine in a very safe and secure home environment. In fact, Hugo has just asked me when he can go to Lauren’s again, on his holidays ☺️”
About: My name is Kasia. I was an animal lover since I was a little girl and I grew up in the house with many animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. I previously looked after dogs and cats for my family and friends, they were always very comfortable in my house. I walk dogs (including mine) twice a day, and they can spend time playing in my garden or be cosy on the sofa. The best benefit of being pet sitter is the opportunity to meet lots of cute animals and enjoy caring for them. I am looking forward to care for your furry kids. With Love Kasia I work from home, which means I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel comfortable and settled. I enjoy having animals around and can provide a calm, caring environment with lots of supervision and interaction. I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment for pets both in my home and in the owner’s home. I make sure pets follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, rest, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. As I work from home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, so I take time to help them settle in and adjust at their own pace. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always respect the home and follow all instructions carefully to ensure pets feel relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while owners are away.
“Maria did a fantastic job of looking after our two grey hounds. Kept us update throughout our holiday with pictures and videos of what she had done each day. Maria did amazing brain training games with our dogs Kept the house clean and tidy throughout. Thank you so much - would definitely recommend her.”
“Shaun is very attentive to our dog Mabel. She was so keen to see him that she jumped out of car the second we got there, still strapped in. Shaun provides great care and is a great communicator, so we are always reassured that Mabel is in good hands.”
“I had to use this app to each out last minute to find a sitter, due to a cancellation, and I couldn’t be more happy. Andreia was great with my dogs, especially consider one of them is a bit of a nervous wreck. Have booked more dates with Andreia and using her as my new sitter. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had dogs/cats/horses all my life and very passionate about caring for all pets. I have worked at a dog kennels since I was 13-19 years old as well as completing work experience at a vets so I have a wealth of experience. I have frequently participated in pet sitting for family and friends whilst they have been away as I’m reliable and trusting. I’m a secondary school teacher so available after 5pm on Fridays across anytime at the weekends. I am also free all day anytime during the school holidays e.g half terms and the 6 week summer holidays. I have a large townhouse with plenty of access to lovely walks nearby as well as a fenced garden with patio and grass. Dogs are allowed on furniture too for lots of cuddles and fun play time!
“Niki and Ryan provided a very capable service. They are a warm, friendly couple and Ryan in particular has an obvious lot of experience in handling dogs. He impressed one of my dog-walking neighbours whilst i was away. I wouldn't hesitate to use again.”
“Thank you so much Natalie for looking after our Echo whilst we were away for the weekend. This is the first time weve used the Rover app so werent really sure what to expect. We met Natalie a couple of weeks before and Echo took to her straight away, if Echos happy then we are too. Natalie provided us with regular updates and photos. Echo looked so happy and chilled, we cant thank you enough. Will definitly be booking with Natalie again. Thanks again. Kat, Josh and Echo x”
“This was the second time we left Willow in Jayne and Brian's excellent care, this time for just over 2 weeks. We could see form the daily video and message "pupdates" what a fabulous time Willow was having❤️. Jayne and Brian also looked after our house really well and we came back to a very happy and relaxed dog as well as a clean and tidy home. Because of Jayne and Brian we were able to really enjoy our holiday as we could see our furbaby was so well looked after. We can't recommend them highly enough - and we have already booked a repeat stay.”
“Emily did an overnight stay for our dog when my partner and I were away. She was very trustworthy, responsive to messages and our dog loved her. I strongly recommend Emily and would re-book her if needed in the future”
About: Hi, I'm Hannah and my partner and I have two lovely boys of our own, Murphy (a bengal cross, 7) and Monty (a black shorthair, 2) who love to play (or should I say playfight!) together. I'm an animal lover and regularly care for cats whilst people are away. I have a lot of repeat customers and pride myself on giving the animals the best care so you can relax whilst you're away! I am self employed and work as a fitness instructor, so I can be very flexible with timings and work around what's best for you and your pet. I strive to give the best care possible to your pets - they'll be given as much fuss as they'd like and I'm happy to play with them, brush them and keep them well looked after! I can send daily photos if that's something you'd like whilst you're away.
“Shannon has been absolutely amazing. Not only did she accept the booking with short notice, but she was so kind, authentic and put me at ease! I wouldn’t go anywhere else, she was brilliant with my dachshund - he didn’t want to leave he loved being with her! Will definitely be returning. Thank you again Shannon x”

We needed a pet sitter who could live in our home and look after our male cats, Billy and Pablo, at short notice. Billy is old, sweet and vulnerable, whereas Pablo is a young, high-energy cat who loves to scratch the furniture, given half a chance. We wondered if we could find someone who could cope. As soon as we met Jasmine, she was such a lovely, caring person that our worries disappeared. It’s easy to see that Jasmine loves cats, and she knows how to handle them. She gave us photos and updates every day, and she didn’t panic when Pablo kept his distance at first because he is extremely wary of new people. Jasmine kept Billy and Pablo well-fed, Billy inside and Pablo outside, and reported any concerns during her stay. She noted their feeding preferences and personality traits and made sure she had contact details for the vet. We only saw that Jasmine was in our home from the photos because the house looked ‘untouched’ and tidy when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Shannon has been absolutely amazing. Not only did she accept the booking with short notice, but she was so kind, authentic and put me at ease! I wouldn’t go anywhere else, she was brilliant with my dachshund - he didn’t want to leave he loved being with her! Will definitely be returning. Thank you again Shannon x
Demi has been great with Dumble, with him being an older dog, and loud when he wants to be, she took it all in her stride. We received pictures and video and of throughout the week, which really put our minds at rest. She took the time to get to know Dumble, his walks, and some of his little qwerks before we went away which was excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again.
Teodora looked after our boy for the night. We had a meet and greet beforehand and they got along really well. Coady has health conditions and was able to care for him in a way best for him. Our house was in the same condition we left it in and we couldn't have asked for a better person to look after him! Thank you Teodora
We were absolutely delighted with Keishia. Her communication is excellent, she took time to come and visit us and see our three dogs prior to sitting. Our dogs are very different in requirements with one being nervous, one blind and one hyperactive. Keishia managed each of their needs perfectly. She respected our property, keeping it to our stansards of clean and tidy, We cannot sing her praises enough and eould very highly recommend Keishia to anyone without a hesitation Thank yoy Keishia. Maryin snd Sue, Choccy, Izzy and Marley
I'm over the moon I have found a dog sitter! I have never left my dogs with someone I don't know, or had someone stay in my home. I was really nervous. Isobel came to meet them weeks before stayed until they were nice and chilled with her. She arrived on time on the day. She did everything as asked. She sent me photos and updates all weekend, which I loved. I had some upheaval with some scaffolding which was meant to be sorted when she wasn't here🤦♀️ but she was patient and nothing was to much trouble. She left my home as it was nice and tidy. Dogs were all happy when I got home. I've already booked my next trip away. I would 100% recommend she was brilliant!

FAQs for House Sitting - Erewash
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Erewash on Rover is £33.35 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 1,398 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Erewash. 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 Erewash 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 Erewash 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
