“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”
“Outstanding!! That is the only word to describe the excellent service Natalie provides. I left my 5 year old Weimaraner Jerry for the 1st time for a family holiday with Natalie house sitting. I was nervous about leaving her but I needn’t have worried. Throughout our trip Natalie kept me up to date with messages, photos and videos of Jerry. Jerry had plenty of walks in her favourite places, play and cuddles. In fact I’m not sure she entirely missed us due to the high level of care and attention Natalie gave her. Even when snow and ice conditions meant it was impossible for Jerry to be walked, Natalie made sure Jerry had plenty to keep her happy and provided brain stimulation games and toys to keep her occupied and completely content. I really do feel like Natalie goes above and beyond to care. We returned home to a very calm and content dog thanks to Natalie. I even think Natalie may have provided an additional bit of lead training as Jerrys lead pulling has improved too. I will definitely be using Natalie’s service again and would highly recommend anyone to do the same.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Robb accepted to take of our animals at short notice and did a great job. We received loads of updates and photos while away and returned to a clean tidy house. Will definitely use again!”
“Second time in 2 days we used Nicola as mentioned in previous review she was wonderful with our dog. Just felt so relaxed leaving them together. Ruby had a great evening with Nicola don’t think Ruby missed us one bit which is great, highly recommended will definitely be using Nicola 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'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.
“Ayman took such amazing care of Ralph it looked like he had the best time! She was so friendly, caring, and really took the time to ask lots of questions about Ralph to make sure he had the best day possible. She even did a little sketch of Ralph, which is incredibly talented and such a thoughtful touch. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!”
About: I’m a caring and detail‑oriented pet parent with experience looking after dogs. I understand how important routine, patience and clear communication are, especially for shy or nervous pets. I have hands‑on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime and basic grooming, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I’m comfortable sending photo and video updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away, knowing your fur baby is safe, happy and well looked after. I’m currently freelancing and working from home most days, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for drop‑in visits on weekdays and weekends, and can usually fit in morning, afternoon or early evening visits. If you have a specific routine you’d like me to follow, I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule. When I visit your home, I always follow your instructions carefully and respect your space as if it were my own. I double‑check doors, windows and gates, and make sure your pet’s lead, harness and collars are secure before going outside. I keep a close eye on your pet’s behaviour and comfort, and will contact you straight away if I notice anything unusual. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing.
“This is the 5th time Dana has looked after our 3 dogs and 1 cat. I can honestly say that Dana is just brilliant. We have so many perfect videos and pictures of them all having a fantastic time. Dana even took the time to print some pictures off which is so special. It is wonderfully reassuring to see them eating their dinner and behaving exactly as they would with us. So much so we have our first fortnight away coming up...something we have not been able to do as I was worried about leaving my furry family. Not anymore. Thank you Dana 😊”
“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 have owned dogs my entire live and have always loved them. I can deliver medications to dogs and have experience feeding dogs pills. I can take care of older dogs well. MI have just finished my A levels so I am completely free this summer so I am available to watch your pets. I have all the time in the world to properly care for your pets. I wake up early and feed my dog and place his joint care pills in his food. I then give him his gabapentin using a spoon with peanut butter. I then walk him and pick up after him. I will follow any instructions you give me on pet care and make sure that your pet is safe and happy

“Hannah was on time I had an early hospital appointment. Ruby seemed very settled with Hannah.. Very warm day hannah put the fan onto Ruby. She took her quick walks. Took her regular comfort breaks. Would be happy to rebook hannah.”
“We were really impressed With Lilly. She took care of our beagle Tilly at our house and was extremely professional and helpful. She kept us updated to let us know all was fine. She is meticulously neat and tidy. Would highly recommend her.”
About: I know trusting someone to care for your pet can feel stressful. But I'll make your dog feel safe, happy and very loved. I've taken care of dogs for nearly 10 years. I've looked after a range of breeds and ages - from a puppy cockerspaniel through to a big and energetic Golden Doodle - and understand every dog is different. I'll get to know your pet's personality, what they like and their routines so staying with me feels like a home away from home. I am self-employed and work from home, so I'll always be around to give cuddles and lots of attention. Sefton Park, Princes Park and Otterspool Promenade are all a ten minute walk form my house. So, there are plenty of lovely green space for us to go and explore together! I am self-employed and work from home, which means I can adapt to your pet's routine and have plenty of time for cuddles and play. I have a walled yard - perfect for dogs who like to chill in the outdoors. I have a three bedroom house, so there's plenty of room for your pet to wander around indoors. Dog are allowed upstairs.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Knowsley is £30
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Knowsley
Yan was unbelievable, managed a last minute 4 night stay for Mimi which included a meet and greet before hand to ensure she was comfortable. Whilst the stay happens I was regularly updated with photos and communication. She made Mimi feel settled and comfortable enough to each on her normal schedule (which is hard to do). House was left as clean as before the stay also Would highly recommend Yan to anyone.
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 July 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.
