“Andrew was the first sitter we’ve ever used, and made the experience easy and reassuring. He looked after our little diva, Bluebell the cat, and she must have felt relaxed and comfortable as she chilled out on the sofa with him all evening 😎 we received lots of pics our little fluffy demon, which was brill. He turned up when he said he would, and respected our wishes about not bringing meat or dairy into the house, which I really appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”

“Very friendly and honest. She dealt with our changes of schedules professionally and adapted, although she didn't have to. Highly recommend. Clement very much remembered her from his meet and greet at the start of the sit and was very pleased to have a play mate for the evening”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a child myself and had a dog as a kid. Since then my own parents have had other dogs which I’ve obviously loved and cared for as and when, whilst unable to have a dog of my own. Circumstances - ie work - mean I can’t commit to having my own dog full time, to my son’s dismay, but we have so much love and affection for dogs that Rover is a perfect fit for us. I’ve only ticked availability for when my son and I can live our best life and share that time with your beautiful dog. We are always out and about exploring Lichfield and living life to the fullest…and spending time with a pooch pal would complete that way of life! Full disclosure we live in a flat but is as pet friendly as flats can be. We literally live opposite Stowe Pool playing fields and like I say to my 9-year-old, we have one of the biggest gardens in Lichfield. We would love a dog to walk, to stay with us and maybe even play cricket with us!
“Sammie was brilliant with our anxious / clingy pup and kept us updated throughout the 2 days with cute pics of him having a brill time with her. Great comms and great pup sitter ☺️”

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’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I have experience looking after dogs of different ages and personalities, and I understand the importance of providing them with a safe, caring, and fun environment. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them company and attention, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time and am available for dog walks and daycare on my days off. I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for them, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I have a friendly Cockapoo who lives as part of the family and is free to roam throughout the house. My home has a large, secure, fully fenced garden where my dog can safely exercise, play, and go outside regularly. I ensure my pet has access to fresh water, a comfortable resting area, daily exercise, and plenty of attention and care
About: I’ve had dog and other pets all my life, Labradors, shitzu, French bulldogs, and dachshunds and loved and cared for them all. I have a genuine commitment to compassionate, attentive care, especially for older dogs who need a little extra support. I have experience caring for senior pets, understanding their slower pace, mobility needs, and the comfort of familiar routines. I’m confident in administering medication safely and calmly, whether that’s tablets, liquids, or more specific care instructions. I take the time to build trust with each dog, ensuring they feel secure, relaxed, and truly cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time flexibly from home with regular breaks for walks and fusses. I tend to take my dog out twice a day. I have a fenced garden and secure home, walks often. I provide a calm, safe, and consistent environment whether pets are in my home or their own. In my home, I keep a clean, secure space with plenty of comfort, supervision, and enrichment, ensuring pets stick to a routine that suits their needs, including feeding schedules, walks, rest time, and play. I’m especially mindful of creating a low-stress environment for more sensitive or older dogs.
About: I have worked professionally with pets for 20 years with many breeds. I have a love for all creatures big and small, including cats, dogs, small mammals and reptiles. I have also trained dogs and worked with reactive dogs. I enjoy spending my time caring for and playing with pets. I am very active and enjoy walking, so walking with pets is a pleasure. I can fit pet care around my schedule and can be flexible with requests. I have a spacious, dog-proof garden with high walls all around. I have fenced off sections of the garden so can keep dogs separate if needed. We have a modern, warm home with comfy sofas, beds and bean bags for dogs to cuddle up on. I have experience in canine first aid and I’m also happy to groom/ bath dogs and have an extensive collection of grooming equipment.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own rescue dog and two rescue cats, as well as volunteering with a local dog rescue. My experience with rescue animals has taught me the importance of patience, understanding and adapting care to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventure and playtime or prefers a calmer approach, I tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m particularly experienced with nervous and anxious pets and understand that some dogs thrive on quieter walks, extra reassurance and one-to-one attention. My priority is always to provide a positive, stress-free experience for your pets while giving you complete peace of mind that they’re in caring and reliable hands. I’m currently fully flexible and focusing on growing my pet care business, PlottPaw Adventure, full-time, allowing me to offer reliable and adaptable care for dogs and cats throughout the day 🐾 I specialise in calm, personalised pet care, including solo walks, drop-in visits, companionship visits, and one-to-one support, particularly for anxious, nervous, senior, or rescue pets 💚 Building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me, and I’m passionate about providing attentive, patient and dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine and personality. Your pet’s comfort, safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I take a calm, patient and attentive approach to care, tailoring every visit to your pet’s individual routine, personality and comfort levels, particularly for rescue or anxious animals. Whether they enjoy energetic play, quiet companionship or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs while providing regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.
“I’m very grateful to Craig for looking after my rescue Spaniel, who can be a bit unpredictable especially when his routine is upset. I was able to go away for the weekend without worrying as I knew Craig could handle anything that came his way. I’ve already booked him to have Ted for two weeks later in the year! Thanks Craig (and Buddy!)”

“Antonia arrived on time and even gave me an ETA on when she would arrive, which I thought was amazing. Our dog settled really well with her and when I got back I found my dog asleep right by Antonia’s feet, which was so lovely to see and very reassuring. She gave Treacle her medicine on time. Antonia is a very friendly lady and cared greatly for my precious girl. Thankyou so much. The only thing I would recommend would be updates of her movements during the day. It would have been nice to have a message to say she’d had her medicine ok. Other than that I can’t fault her care with this lovely lady. We would definitely book her again should I have another dog, unfortunately our girl passed away 3 days later.”

“After the initial meet and greet, I had no concerns with leaving my dog with Charlotte and was very happy again after my first appointment as it was clear that Sam had been very happy spending time with Charlotte, in fact after she left, Sam kept looking for her in the downstair rooms”

“Matt looked after our two dogs for the weekend in our home and was absolutely wonderful. We came home to two very happy pups who had clearly been spoilt with undivided attention for the weekend and an immaculate home. We received lots of gorgeous photo updates and felt reassured the dogs were in good hands. Thank you!!”

About: I have had all kinds of dogs over the last 50 years, from little Jack Russells, Yorkshire Terriers up to Labrador’s and Huskies. I would love to look after you family pet over the weekend as I work full time and don’t have time in the week for our own dog. I want to give me children the joy I had of having a dog around at times when we are free. I work full time so will be free on weekends to have dogs over either for the day or boarding for the whole weekend in our living family home I have a fully fenced garden, we currently have a lion head rabbit and he runs free when no dogs are with us. If there was a way to get out he would have found it! :)

Lam was wonderful with my dog. She really took the time, from the pre-visit through to the actual dog sitting, to make sure he was comfortable. He was happy and relaxed with her, which gave me peace of mind as he suffers with seperation anxiety. I’d definitely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lichfield on Rover is £50.86 per night (as of July 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 Lichfield 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 Lichfield 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.
