“I would thoroughly recommend Rafaelle. She was on time and always available when checking in. She took really good care of Aiko and he was a very happy and relaxed boy when I got home. We would love to continue working with Rafaelle going forward.”
“Erin did a great job dog sitting for one night at our home. Our Bailey was well cared for, happy, and relaxed when we returned. He received plenty of cuddles and when she left, he was looking for her around the house! We'd definitely trust her to look after our pup again!”
“Since Aero has separation anxiety he cannot be left home alone but Fiona made sure he was comfortable and he felt relaxed in her presence. She did above and beyond what we asked. I would definitely recommend her to keep your pets safe and happy!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay at my home to look after my senior cat while I was away. Annie provided clear and detailed updates which were thoughtfully organised in different categories providing consistent information – particularly helpful as my cat had been ill several weeks prior to my departure and monitoring her to check for no recurrence was very important to me. Annie also sent some great photos which I really appreciated. I returned home to a happy, healthy and very well looked after cat and spotless home. I would recommend her very highly and would be delighted to have her house/cat sit again.”
“Charlie house sat our 9 month old puppy for a day. He has been amazing, our dog definitely loved it. His communication has been great and he arranged a really helpful meet n greet the day before for the first time. Highly recommend”
“I was able to go on holiday with total peace of mind. Anne Lisa and Mike came over twice before i left to get to know Sonny and understand all his ways! He is an old boy and needs lots of tlc especially having recently moved house. I was sent daily updates, video’s and photos. My house was left clean and tidy. I would definitely use Anne Lisa and Mike again.”
“Harriet came over to look after our dog Jasper for the day and was great. He was very well looked after and we got regular updates on how he was getting on. Would definitely use again!”
“Fay was brilliant with my pup George, he's clearly had a brilliant day! Fay kept me up to date with a photo and video which was lovely! Would definitely recommend. Also it was a very last minute request so I really appreciate Fay stepping in! Thank you!”
“Thanks so much to Alycia who took a new, energetic, nippy, vizsla puppy completely in her stride and looked after her along with my older dog for an entire evening. It was clear when we came back just how much our dogs had bonded with Alycia, which speaks volumes.”
“Katie was wonderful! My young beagle boy Beau absolutely loved her company, he was so comfortable and chilled with her. She gave him plenty of stimulation with play and a long walk plus cuddles making him feel safe and happy. We had one super chilled and relaxed pup. Katie kept the house super tidy and she was such a pleasure to have. I will be booking Katie again most definitely:)”
“Rachel was absolutely great with Ticky, they got on so well straight away. Loads of updates throughout the day, great communication. Have rebooked already, would highly recommend!!”
About: I've grown up with a menagerie of animals from dogs and cats to horses, hamsters and stick insects. I qualified from Liverpool veterinary school in 2018 so I am happy to give medication ( that your vet has prescribed) and care to you family member, if they need a bit more TLC. I have previous experience house sitting and references can be provided. I am happy to look after a range of animals. I also have my BHSAI if you need any help with your horses or ponies. I am available to stay with your pet all day and night with exception to short trips to the shops etc. If you have a dog I am happy to take them for individual outings in my car to local spots. I will be with your dog or cat all the time if required with the exception for going food shopping etc. If I feel your cat requires some time and space as they are nervous of a new person in the house, I will leave the house a few times in the day to ease stress on them.
About: Hi there! I’m Anaïs 👋 I’m 22 and absolutely love spending time with animals! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages — from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors — for family, friends, and clients alike. Over the years, I’ve looked after breeds like golden retrievers, Labradors, cocker spaniels, and border collies. I’ve also done several longer pet and house sits (up to a week at a time), making sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles on the sofa, your pet will be treated like family! 🐾💛 Im a marketing apprentice student with flexible working at the minute from home and i’m available on weekday evenings and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine — from walk times and feeding schedules to favourite toys and cuddle spots — so they stay happy and settled while you’re away. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own: keeping things tidy, following any house rules, and ensuring everything is just as you left it. Your pets and your home will both be in safe, reliable hands.
“If you are looking for the best person to care for your pet - look no further than Mary. Mary has just looked after our very senior dog, getting used to her 'ways' without any problem. Poppy had a paw problem during this time and the care Mary gave her was amazing - including much patience and perseverance giving her antibiotics. All this during the very hot weather which is not easy for anyone let alone a dog! We were kept up to date very regularly with messages and photos and it was very reassuring to know how happy she was. I would not hesitate to ask Mary again if we need care for Poppy and would recommend her to all.”
“Clare has been so warm and caring to Aiko from the start. He has been really comfortable with Clare. Plus she was really communicative and gave updates regularly. I thoroughly recommend Clare.”
“Couldn’t ask for anything better for a house sitter! Lovely lady, great with Frank, felt like I could trust her the house and with Frank 100%. Felt so comfortable with her around Frank! Gave him the best care- even managed to clean his teeth! Sent me regular updates of what they was up to!”
About: I have grown up with two dogs in my family, raising them as puppies all the way through their lives. I now have a beautiful cat who has been with me for 4 years. I am currently working full time as a PE teacher so I am available on weekends. I will be available during the day on half terms. If coming to your home I will make sure to follow your procedures you have with your pet/s to make them feel comfortable and safe.
“Theo is a wonderful dog sitter both our dogs love him. It was the first time we had used a house sitter and dog sitter service so we were quite apprehensive Theo sent us some great videos while we were away of the dogs to reassure us. We would definitely use Theo on our next trip”
“Anna was great - came for a thorough meet and greet first to make sure she understood the girls and her needs, checked in with me regularly through the sit, and when I got back the dogs were happy and relaxed. Definitely recommend !”
“Charlotte kindly looked after our dogs over the Christmas/New Year period. She has such a lovely way with our dogs and they love her. She treats the house with total respect.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Guildford is £35

Having met Fiona previously for a meet and greet we felt confident that she was the perfect person to look after our two Labradors. We booked her to dog-sit while we were out for the day/evening. She arrived on time and the dogs were very pleased to see her. We received lovely messages and photos throughout the day which showed two very happy, settled dogs. We feel very lucky to have found Fiona. She is a very calm and friendly person who is very easy to communicate with. We feel completely at ease leaving our dogs in her care and would most definitely recommend!
Katie looked after our dogs, Bowie and Luna, for the day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and clearly loves dogs. She took wonderful care of Bowie and Luna, keeping us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. When we came home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a fantastic time. Katie was perfect in every way—kind, reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief to know we’ve found someone we can trust completely with our dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Katie!

With just a week's notice, Anna very kindly accommodated us to look after our two dogs (one of whom is a 16-year-old lab who needs extra special attention!) and my daughter's dog (another, more boisterous, labrador!) whilst we were all at a friend's wedding - and I have nothing but praise fo her! She is a lovely person, very good communicator, was happy to come over to our house to get to know the dogs and the set-up before the day, and was very thorough in her questions and reassuring in her confirmation that she had understood the mission!! It was a very hot day, so walkies were not on the menu since Anna's sit was not during the cooler hours, but we came home to three happy, relaxed doggies, all of whom had finished off their food (clean bowls), which is a feat in itself in this heat! Everything was left clean and tidy and as arranged re. keys/access, etc. as Anna left before we got home (which was the plan). I would happily book Anna again.
We had never left our dog before but I felt that he was very looked after by Jacqui. I was a little worried about him as we went away at the start of a heatwave but Jacqui kept in touch regularly to let us know how he was doing which was very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.
Erin was amazing with our 4 month old puppy. She kept her entertained and made sure nap times were enforced. Erin kept to our routine and helped us maintain the training we had started and even did a little extra. I wouldn't hesitate to book Erin in again. Thank you!
Estheffany Spent time with Milo (our 3 year old beagle/cockerpoo cross) in our home for the second time, everything went so smoothly. The dog was happy, the house was tidy, and great updates shared throughout her stay. We'll definitely be in touch for a third booking!
Samantha was great with Dash and remained professional throughout a very difficult situation. During the stay, Dash became distressed after getting a stick lodged in his mouth. While Samantha was trying to help remove it, Dash bit her hand/finger. Because of the incident, we mutually decided not to continue the remainder of the stay. Throughout the entire process, Samantha’s communication was excellent. She kept us updated on everything and remained incredibly kind, patient, and understanding despite the circumstances. We really appreciated her honesty and the grace with which she handled everything. We still highly recommend her as a sitter.
Clare was such a lovely sitter! Wilf, our golden retriever, took her to her straight away and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent photos and gave us regular updates whilst we away and Wilf looked relaxed and happy. ☺️ We would 100% recommend Clare to others and Wilf is already looking forward to seeing her again very soon!
Charlotte is a really great sitter. She immediately bonded with our golden retriever Wilf and we fely completely comfortable leaving her to care for him whilst away for two nights. She gave us regular updates and sent photos too! We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We have already booked her to look after Wilf for our next holiday! ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Guildford on Rover is £40.25 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 13,217 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Guildford. 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 Guildford 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 Guildford 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
