“Hannah and her partner Rob are fantastic - super polite, communicative, punctual and took great care of my pup Pickle, and my home of course during my recent night away. Absolutely would recommend and will rebook when I next have need. Thank you both :)”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We honestly couldn’t recommend Rose highly enough! From the moment we booked with her, her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular messages and lots of lovely photos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Rose is such a kind, genuine, and lovely girl, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. Our dogs absolutely adored her, and we came home to three very happy pups. She also went completely above and beyond by cleaning the house and even doing the washing before she left, which was such a thoughtful surprise and so appreciated after travelling home. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, while keeping you updated every step of the way, Rose is the perfect person. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will definitely be asking her to look after our dogs again. Thank you so much, Rose!”
“Jordan was amazing house sitting for us and took such great care of our 3 little dogs! She sent regular updates, photos, took them out on walks and made us feel really as ease knowing our babies were being well taken care of! It’s clear to see the dogs loved her💞”
About: I have always had a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, invertebrates and reptiles, so I am happy and used to being around most critters! I love long walks in the country or by the sea but also like sitting and cuddling my pets for hours, so whatever your pet needs I can accommodate! I'm currently away from work (I was in the NHS doing ultrasound for 13 years) and am studying to begin my own company! Which means I have plenty of free time for walks and cuddles - middle of the day if you're at work or during the week if you're away! As I currently have a dog and cat in my house I don't feel it fair to offer to board pets unless they are OK with other animals (contact me with questions or requests). I am happy to stay at or visit your home and would be respectful of your space. I am of course happy to meet you and your pet ahead of time to ensure they and you feel comfortable with me!
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals, including my own rescued cats, dogs, and horses. I have looked after three horses on loan, providing daily care, feeding, grooming, and attention to their individual needs. I have rescued and cared for two cats and have owned two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I have also worked at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, supporting the care of horses and running wellbeing activities that connected people with horses. Alongside my animal experience, I run my own small business offering therapeutic forest school work with children and nature connection experiences. This has developed my skills in patience, responsibility, observation, and creating safe, supportive environments for both people and animals. I hold an Enhanced DBS check and I am experienced in working responsibly with both children and animals. I am comfortable providing care such as: • Feeding and maintaining routines • Administering medication where required • Caring for animals with different needs and temperaments • Providing companionship, attention, and reassurance • Looking after animals in a calm, respectful way • Drop in pet sitting, or longer stay-in house and pet sitting if required I understand that pets are part of the family and aim to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives owners peace of mind while they are away. I currently work part time two days a week in a forest school monday and Friday, but have availability the other days, evenings and weekends. Safety, trust and caring for your environment, home and pet is paramount. I have an Enhanced DBS and have a wealth of experience and references.
“Nicole came to dog sit our two dogs in our caravan where we were staying as we had a wedding to attend. Nicole was really warm and friendly and made me feel like I could relax and enjoy my day without worrying if they were okay. She sent me an update with pictures during the day and it was so nice to see they were having fun. I couldn’t recommend Nicole enough. Thank you!”
“Lauren is a lovely lady... Bonnie felt comfortable in her presence immediately & soon settled down for cuddles... Lauren arrived at the agreed time & was very understanding of Bonnie's needs...We were updated with photos in a WhatsApp group throughout the day & Bonnie looked very happy... Would not hesitate to book Lauren again!!”
“Thankyou so much to Georgia, we came home to two very happy and contented dogs. Would love for you to look after them again and will be going through our diary to find possible dates.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.
“Abigail looked after our dog for us while we were on holiday and he had the best staycation with her and her dog. We felt reassured he was having the comforts of a home away from home and were kept up updated with photos during his time there. Would definitely recommend Abigail she has a passion for dogs and our dog Reggie settled very quickly with her in her home! Abigail was brilliant and accommodating particularly as Reggie needed some extra care whilst he was recovering from a recent operation.”
“Christina was a very professional pet sitter, she looked after our 2 dogs Button, who is a lively 3 year old Cocker Spaniel and our 16 year old Spaniel x Border Pippa. We had daily updates and photos of the dogs at home and out for lovely walks. Christina was experience with older dogs and administered Pippa's daily medication. When we returned home the house was left very clean and tidy. And very happy dogs. We would highly recommend Christina as your pet sitter. Graham and Sheila.”
“David is a good person who has looked after our Millie well . He has responded to messages when requested and appears to have enjoyed the long walks led by Millie ! Would recommend and have David back again”
“Jamie kindly agreed to a meet and greet with Dylan and was very responsive. Jamie was very prompt, really polite and respectful to our home. He kindly took Dylan out for a walk at lunch and enjoyed some time in the sun. Although Dylan is pretty calm we can tell he really likes Jamie sitting. Woukr recommend Jamie.”
“Our first booking with Rover and we couldn’t be more impressed with Shirley who was super professional, very easy to get on with and clearly loves animals. Our very elderly dog was so happy to be able to stay at home with such a kind carer Would recommend Shirley to anyone”
“Lucy was a brilliant dog sitter to our elderly dog and responded quickly and attentively to his needs and requirements. Lucy is a very good communicator, prompt and efficient. We hope to see her again soon.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, caring for my own and family and friends pets. I grew up on a farm and have loads of experience with animals. I’m currently working on bank as a HCA at Norfolk and Norwich hospital so can be very flexible and pick and choose shifts that work around my other duties. I have a lot of experience with animals having grown up on a farm and in particular dogs as I grew up with them being around all the time!

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Great Yarmouth
What can we say? Exceptional from initial contact through to meeting with us and then the stay itself. Wilf instantly took to Rose and we had a great time away with regular updates. Our home was treated amazingly as was Wilf. Can’t recommend Rose highly enough if there were 10 stars it would be a 10/10. When I leave a review I always try and think of anything that might be better to prove it’s a thoughtful review but in this case, I genuinely can’t
Kirsty was so lovely with our 2 dogs. She had the experience that gave me the confidence that she would follow all instructions so that they had the routine and care that they are used to. Daily videos and updates. The house was clean and she even got some supplies in for us. Highly recommend.

The average cost for House Sitting in Great Yarmouth on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 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 Great Yarmouth 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 Great Yarmouth 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.
