“Erin was fantasic. She was very easy to communicate with before and during her stay with our dog. She provided regular updates/photos/videos to let us know all was going well and we came back to an imacculately tidy house and a happy dog. Thank you Erin!”

“Rhian did an incredible job housesitting over the Christmas period, she kept in communication, sent us lots of photos of our cat being well settled and happy. It was the calmest we’ve ever seen the cat after we’ve been away for a period - I would absolutely recommend Rhian to others! Thank you so much for all your help!”


About: I provide reliable, attentive cat sitting with a strong focus on each pet’s individual needs and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach, which helps even shy or anxious cats feel comfortable in their own home. I have experience caring for kittens, including supporting feeding schedules and early socialisation, as well as senior cats who may need extra attention, medication administration, or gentle handling. I always prioritise your cat’s wellbeing, keeping their environment clean, maintaining their routine, and providing regular updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Working from home allows me to offer a high level of flexibility and reliability when it comes to caring for your cat. I’m able to adjust my schedule to suit your needs, whether that’s early morning visits, daytime check-ins, or evening care. Because I’m not tied to a fixed workplace, I can also respond quickly to last-minute requests or changes, giving you extra peace of mind. This flexibility means your cat can enjoy consistent attention, regular feeding times, and plenty of companionship throughout the day, helping them feel relaxed and secure while you’re away I provide attentive, tailored care depending on whether I’m looking after your cat in your home or hosting them in mine. In a pet owner’s home, I focus on maintaining your cat’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding at their regular times, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time with them through play, grooming, or simply keeping them company. I also keep your home tidy, can bring in post, and provide regular updates so you know your cat is happy and well cared for.
“Taylor is an amazing pet sitter and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gives our Frenchies, Remi and Buster. She is very friendly, caring, and pays so much attention to our babies. She spends time playing with them, keeps them happy, and she is always there for them.You can really see that Taylor is a true animal lover. When we come home, Remi and Buster are calm, relaxed, happy ,and clearly feel comfortable and loved. We really appreciate everything she does and we feel very lucky to have someone like her looking after them. Thank you so much, Taylor ! 🐾 🐾”

“Another lovely sitting experience with Nyah ❤️ Marnie had a lovely day with Nyah and enjoyed her walks over the heath. Was wonderful to know Marnie was in perfect hands while I was at work.”

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Wow! Susan was brilliant with Thomas. Went away for a week and Susan kept me up to date with photos, texts. Thomas was happy and well looked after. Susan left the house tidy and as I left it. Throughly reccomend and will ask Susan to homesit Thomas again.”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and I am hoping to work with animals as a full time job in the future. I am currently studying Animal Management at college and am hoping to go to university next year to study Veterinary Physiotherapy, so that I can achieve my dream of helping animals. I have previous work experience at the RSPCA looking after a range of dog breeds, including larger breeds like Huskies and Cane Corsos as well as small breeds like Chihuahuas and Terriers. During this experience, I have helped to walk dogs, clean out kennels, feed and play with dogs. I have also gained experience working with cats, rabbits, birds and other small animals at the RSPCA. I currently have a dog, who is a springer spaniel x poodle called Doodle, and a cat, called Pancake. I spend much of my free time taking Doodle on walks and playing and cuddling with her and Pancake whenever they want to. I have also on many occasions looked after pets of friends and family, including labradors, spaniels, jack russells, beagles, cats and rabbits. I am currently a student and am at college 3 days per week. I typically have full availability on weekends and am usually free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as most evenings. The safety of your pets will always be my number one priority and I will ensure that I keep an eye on them so that they are safe and happy. I will listen to, follow and respect any rules or boundaries that you have when looking after your pets to keep both you and your pets happy and comfortable.
“Louise is a wonderful cat and house sitter. She is very responsive to communicate with online. She had no issues looking after our cat (including medicating him in our absence). She also kept us well informed during our absence, with cat updates, and of course plenty of photos. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us again, thank you Louise :).”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and understand just how important pets are as part of the family. Growing up, I had six cats and a Golden Labrador, and I now have a lovely Cocker Spaniel of my own, so I’m experienced with both cats and dogs and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities. I work full-time as a Cardiac Physiologist at West Suffolk Hospital, and in my free time I enjoy taking my Cocker Spaniel on long walks, spending time in the garden, and being outdoors. I’m available for pet care in the mornings and evenings before and after work, as well as throughout the weekend. I can also offer overnight pet sitting when needed. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet lover to look after your furry family members, I’d be delighted to help whenever I’m available. Please feel free to send me a message — I’d love to hear from you! 🙂 I work Monday - Friday 8-17:00 at West Suffolk Hospital, so am available mornings and evenings. I also have full availability on weekends, so please message me to find out more info. 🙂 I know how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your pets, and I’ll treat your cat with the same care and attention I’d give my own. Whether your cat loves cuddles and company or prefers their space, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine.
“First time booking Julie, she was great with the dogs and cats. You can tell she loves animals very professional and the animals loved her! Would recommend to anyone thinking of booking. Thanks Julie”

“This was our second time booking Philippa and David, this time for a full week, and once again they were absolutely fantastic. We came home to very happy and well cared for dogs, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They were respectful of our home, left everything very clean and tidy, and were incredibly helpful throughout the stay. We especially appreciated the updates and photos they sent while we were away, it was lovely to see how settled and happy the dogs were. Philippa and David are trustworthy, caring, and clearly love animals. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Forest Heath on Rover is £37.95 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 Forest Heath 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 Forest Heath 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.
