“We were very happy with the care and attention Yan gave our cats and house while we were on holiday. She provided excellent cat sitting duties- the cats loved her! Would definitely use her again and I have no hesitation to recommend her to anyone. Thanks again David”
“Amy spent half a day with our Pomsky who had never been with anyone else or alone for more than a few minutes. She reassured us with a photo and messages and we came back home to find her relaxed and happy! She was kind to also come to a meet and greet beforehand so he would know her beforehand. We will surely call her again next time we need to leave him alone. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“Robb is brilliant. He is so responsive and caring. He thoroughly spoilt our two dogs, which they loved. Lots of walks, ball playing, hugs and company. He kept us posted with updates and photos of the boys whilst we were away. He also kept the garden watered and looked after our house, and even left the essentials for us on our return home. So impressed, we’ve booked again! Would thoroughly recommend him. Thank you Robb.”
“India was fantastic! She communicated with us brilliantly, from making arrangements to for a meet and greet to sending us multiple daily photos and updates of what Peanut was up to while we were away. We felt our dog and our home was in really safe hands the whole time we were away, Peanut loved her and we won’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Always use Nicola, this was the first time overnight and will not be the last. Feel happy in the knowledge that we were getting a first class service as always. Ruby is always so happy to see Nicola and you can tell she has had 5 star care. Thank you again for letting us get away and knowing are baby is in safe hands in her own home as well”
“First time having Tianya looking after our two Frenchies in our home and everything was great. Already got three more bookings arranged with Tianya this year. Great communication and gave us the assurance our dogs were in good hands.”
“Natalie was amazing she house sit my two dogs for 10 nights. She update me daily with photos of them both, which puts your mind at ease when your away. When I got back both of them really happy. Even Chase was happy and normal he is sad when we go away and come back. I would recommend Natalie to everyone. Will be definitely booking her again”
“Karen looked after my, sometimes anxious, rescue dog for three nights. I was able to relax knowing that he was safe and happy. Karen sent regular updates which were appreciated and Popsie clearly loved her. I always wouldn’t know that she’d been in the house - it was immaculate. Thanks Karen.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Currently have a 6 and 1/2 year old beagle who would love some company and make new friends. I currently work full time so can only offer weekend boarding, walking or drop in service unless during school holidays where availability is more flexible. I have a large, enclosed back yard which is large enough for a good run around and play as well as being near 2 local parks. Your pet will get a fun, active environment as we as the company of another fur baby.
“Lilly was brilliant. She visited before the sit to meet the dogs and to have a chat. She arrived on time. Left the house immaculate and followed the dogs routine. Definitely recommend”
“Molly was so calm and relaxed throughout and kept us reassured that Ramsay was on his best behaviour. Clearly has experience with bigger dogs which was helpful with our big boisterous puppy. Definitely will book again!”
About: I’m 18 years old and have grown up with 3 different dogs since I was 8 years old. Through my own personal experience with family dogs, I’ve gained plenty of confidence and independence from my responsibilities walking my dog, feeding, bathing, dog-proofing the house, playing, etc etc. I also have a strong knowledge of certain precautions you may need to take depending on the dog, for example my dog, Karmel, is an anxious, quite barky lurcher who can get too playful with other dogs and therefore I take extra care on walks when she’s saying hello at the dog park, and have dealt with aggressive dogs barking and jumping at her before. My family have also done borrow my doggy beforehand so I’ve met and looked after a range of different dogs, adding to my experience and knowledge of how to take care of them. I’m currently on a gap year so I’m almost fully flexible at the moment (I have some tutoring jobs), so pet care fits in perfectly for me as it’s something I’m genuinely passionate and excited about, and something I definitely have the time and love for! :) I would not be able to bring other pets into my home due to owning a dog myself that can be quite hot and cold with other dogs and therefore I don’t fully trust her getting along with a new dog in the house.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with a dog of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I’ve had experience caring for both dogs and cats and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and wellbeing are always my top priority! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the routines and instructions you provide so your pet feels secure and relaxed. I make sure they are supervised, well cared for, and given plenty of attention. I also keep owners updated so you can feel confident that your pet is in safe hands.
“Joanne came to my house to meet my dogs before we finalised our booking and we had a lovely chat. My bouncy pups settled quickly while she was here which was a good sign! Joanne was really accommodating when I requested a couple of changes to our booking. Although nervous leaving the dogs initially, I was updated daily on how they were doing. When we collected them it was heartwarming to see them run back to Joanne while excitedly greeting us. Thanks again”
“Aww Amy was amazing all round - such a nice girl and my dogs absolutely loved her. Felt so at ease leaving them with her for the weekend - would love to have her mind them again soon 😍”
About: i worked and studied at the animal myerscough college for 3 years, I’ve had experience with all kinds of animals cats and dogs included. It fits my daily/weekly routine perfectly, preferably I can do boardings past 2-3pm, or anytime depending on the day and situation, I’m free most of the time I have an open flat with plenty of room for your pet, i also have a cat myself that can keep your animal company unless they don’t get along of course 🤣

Couldn’t recommend Natalie anymore, literally covered with 12 hours notice and saved the day. Come for an intial introduction with Mimi and they got on from the off. Communication was brilliant throughout the stay with photo updates. Really managed to bond with the little time and managed to even get cuddles (rare from a chow). - house was left in perfect condition. Couldn’t recommend more and will 100% be using again.
Bei Bei was absolutely brilliant with my cockapoo Reggie She was friendly , happy , lovely , kind and treated Reggie as I do She sent lots of photos and videos of her and Jack out walking Reggie , playing and cuddling him , which put my mind at rest With it being Christmas, I was so grateful I found such a reliable friendly person I would definitely book Bei Bei again My Reggie was very quiet after we dropped Bei Bei and Jack off at the train station , he really was missing them both They both are a credit to your company Lesley & Reggie 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Knowsley 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 .

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 Knowsley 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 Knowsley 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
