“Andrew was able to accommodate us at short notice for the first time, and allowed us a few days away for a birthday getaway. Andrew arrived early and settled in with our little ones really well and quick and even won over our nervous kitten. We had really good communication throughout and lovely pictures. Our home was lovely and clean when we got back, and all the animals were super chilled and happy. All round, a brilliant service provided and we would absolutely book Andrew again when required.”
About: I have owned and cared for a variety of animals since I was a child, including a range of dog breeds from small to large as well as volunteering at a livery yard through my teenage years. I have experience working for a reputable boarding kennels, completed dog first aid and currently working on my level 2 in Canine Care and Welfare I am currently pursuing a career in pet sitting, so will have a lot of availability. Each day/ week is currently different for me therefore I can easily adapt to clients requirements I will only be offering pet sitting services at the owners home, therefore I only need to make sure that the animal feels safe and comfortable with myself. Using my years of experience and knowledge with the owners advice of their animal I will tailor my approach to each situation appropriately.
About: I have had over 10 years experience with dogs, either as my own (we previously had a lurcher) or via apps such as this one. I recently bought my own business and am therefore able to work flexibly, allowing for dog walking and pet sitting. I have 3 boys which keep me busy but would like to spend some time with animals too. My husband Darren has previous helped me out with dog walking (he is a huge dog lover also!) however this was with the permission of the dog owner. My kids have been around the dogs if I brought them back to our house, however this again was with permission of the owner. I am happy to administer medications, give cuddles, go for walks, make sure they are fed, etc. happy to discuss individual needs and make sure the pet has what they need to be happy and healthy.
About: I have many years of experience looking after my own animals in the past but due to work commitments i havnt had one of my own recently. I look after my daughters dog on a regular basis and would like to help you too . I love dogs and cats and now that i am semi retired i would love to help look after yours. Enhanced DBS available to check. Drop in visits for cats and walks for dogs available from reliable and friendly lady. Have always been an animal lover. Enhanced DBS if required.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. Particularly large dogs. And rabbits! I don't have any pets of my own because I have two very small children and honestly they're enough right now 😵💫 I am a very active person so always happy for walkies and play dates. And always down for snugs. 🥰 I work part-time 18 hours a week. My eldest has started school full time and my youngest has started nursery so I do find myself with more time on my hands. Due to my children I do not offer pet care within my own home. I am happy to come to the pets home to help out and I am respectful to your pets boundaries and needs.
About: I have had dogs as pets pretty much all my life when living at home. Now that I live alone having a dog of my own wouldn’t work due to my job and working away. I would really love to still be able to look after dogs for other people and still get time with yours 😅 I currently work 2 on 4 off which means I’m away for 2 whole days sometimes 3 but back home for 4 so I have alot of free time. I live in a secure 2 bed flat but my estate has a lot of greenery where they can be out and about doing lots of walking.
About: I have had a dog since I was little and have looked after him until he was elderly. I would love to look after any dog I can! I am currently back home from university so am free all day every day! I would love to fill my time helping out families with their pets. I have a fenced back garden and have a large space for them to play. I will always keep my attention on your cat or dog to keep them company!
About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 13 years and currently share my home with two wonderful dogs, Nala the Golden Retriever and Groot the Miniature Dachshund. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I often look after the pets of family and friends when they need an extra hand. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler approach, so I understand the different needs at every stage of life. Because I live with pets myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra care for older pets, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I’m already caring for my own dogs and cat throughout the day, which means regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention are just part of my day. Adding in care for other pets fits seamlessly, I can easily adjust my day to include drop-ins, walks, or extra cuddle time. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow the daily routine their owners have set, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or cuddle time, so the pets feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. I also give plenty of love and attention, making sure they’re not just cared for, but truly comfortable and happy. Along with pet care, I respect the home itself, keeping it tidy and treating it the same way as my own.

Holly D was absolutely delightful and we felt our 2 dogs Lucy and Lola were in safe and loving hands from the moment we met her. We also felt safe and secure handing over our home to Holly, she was very polite and respectful and I wouldn't hesitate to book her to look after our girls again. Thank you Holly D.xx
Lisa was absolutely fantastic with our dog Bailey. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Bailey loved his stay, looked completely at home, and we could tell he was truly cared for. The regular updates while we were on holiday meant the world to us. We’d definitely rebook without hesitation.

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 Lichfield walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Lichfield, the price of house sitting can vary between £32 and £69 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Lichfield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
