“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 ♥️”
“Lauren, was absolutely amazing with my boys, they were really looked after and walked and kept company the whole weekend. I can’t thank Lauren enough for this weekend. Hopefully we will get to use Lauren again before we move. Thank you so much for looking after shankly & Rushy xx”
“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.”
“When we started looking for someone to care for our girls for a last minute trip, we were honestly horrified at the thought of trusting anyone. Our girls are a lot on paper, an overwhelming puppy and an old lady with her own needs. It takes a huge amount of trust to let someone not only look after your pets but also stay in your home. Looking back now, I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience. Our expectations weren’t just met, they were exceeded ten times over. The love, care and genuine compassion you have for animals is unmatched and honestly so admirable. The patience and time you gave our girls was incredible. I genuinely believe you’ve made such a positive impact on Skye especially. You’ve been the friend and mentor she needed. And for Isla, you gave her the warmth, comfort and space she needs to feel safe. I’m pretty sure Skye is going to miss you. From your instant replies to the lovely videos and pictures you sent throughout the day, we couldn’t have been happier. Skye feels like a whole different girl after just three days with you. We couldn’t recommend your service any more if we tried. We will 10000 percent be returning as customers. We really hope you and our girls will be friends forever. Thank you again, so so much. Chloe, Marcus, Isla and skye <3 ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN💛🐾”
“It was Coutneys first time looking after Stanley and felt reassured as soon as they met. She was happy to follow Stans routine and was very attentive and sent regular updates. Would highly recommend.”
“Niki did a brilliant job with our two cats, Billy and Pablo. We gave her a challenging situation with an elderly cat who sleeps a lot and a young cat, who loves to play. She asked about their likes and dislikes and how they reacted with one another. Their strong food drive is their only shared trait and Niki fed them separately, in their favourite places, to prevent fighting. She sent photos and updates every day, and the cats looked happy and healthy when we got back. The house was lovely and tidy, too. We'll certainly rebook!”
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!
“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.”
“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.”
“We have just used Hannah for a second time and were delighted once again. She looked after our cat at our home. She sent us lots of pictures and we could rest assured that both our furry friend and our house were fabulously well looked after :)”
“We’ve never left Milo before with anyone else. He can be a little aloof and as a Staffy x Akita he’s also a strong dog. But Miriam was amazing with him and instantly put us at ease. We initially had a meet and greet where Milo loved her instantly and demanded more fuss from her 🤣 also lots of communication and pictures whilst we were away that again put us at ease that our boy was having the best time. We definitely recommend Miriam for anyone looking for pet services as she goes above and beyond! Thank you Miriam x”
“Stepped up to the mark at short notice allowing us to attend a funeral feeling happy that our dogs would be well looked after. Fed the dogs and played with them, peace of mind for us priceless. Thanks!”
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.
“Even though I had to come time earlier due to personal reasons, Isla had done really well! Family enjoyed her being around and Manson settled and listened to Isla straight away!! I’ll definitely be hiring Isla again for a full sitting”
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.

“Malaya is friendly with great communication and was very keen to learn from us how best to look after our rescue staffie Daisy. Malaya has experience training and looking after dogs in the past and it shows in the questions she asked and how she interacted with Daisy. Daisy was well cared for and the house left clean and tidy, we would happily recommend Malaya as a sitter.”

Elizabeth presented as proffessional throughout our contact sending me reassuring photographs of my dog Hugo. My home was left clean and tidy and my dog who can be unsettled without me really took to Elizabeth and has been happy and playful upon my return home. I would ha e no hesitation on booking Elizabeth again in the future.
Stanley was very happy to see Courtney again and got very excited. He seems very happy and relaxed in her company and feel very reassured to leave him. Stanley is particularly scared of the thunder and she ensured that he had a place to feel safe. Great service again. Thank you Courtney

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

FAQs for House Sitting – Erewash
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Erewash on Rover is £33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £26 and £46 per night.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Erewash, the price of house sitting can vary between £26 and £46 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Erewash maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
