Grace is really excellent!! She manages my 2 very lively and quirky Collies with absolutely no problem and even took the change in raw food preparation without any issues. Great with animals and a lovely lady 😊

Very happy with Lani and the service she provided, so much so that I have already booked her for later in the year. She came to meet my pets beforehand, respected my home, took amazing care of my pets, provided updates and pictures. I was worried about leaving my dog due to the hot weather and being a bulldog they can be prone to overheating but Lani knew about the breed and I trust she would of researched ways to keep him cool and that he was in safe hands. Lani is also a really lovely person. I would happily recommended her for a pet sitting service.

About: I’ve owned dogs for over ten years, and as well as taking care of my own, I’ve also been trusted to look after dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbours! I now have two lovely kitties as well as rodents and geckos, and have experience working in a vet clinic. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds, confident and friendly :) I’m currently unemployed, so I’m available any time for drop-ins, daycare, overnight stay and walks! Get in touch if you want more information, I’m happy to answer any questions. I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I’m happy to keep them company, give them plenty of play time, or leave them alone if they’re more of a lone pup/kitty!

About: Hi, I’m Lily. I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have two of my own, Buzz and Lola. They’ve been with me for over 10 years, so they’ve quite literally watched me grow up. They’re family to me, and anyone who knows me knows I’m completely obsessed with them. Growing up around dogs has given me a real understanding of their different personalities, routines and needs. I’ve spent years caring for, walking and looking after dogs, and I love being around them. Earlier this year I took a job in London, and one thing I found really difficult was not always being around as much to walk my dogs. Luckily, I had family members that did this when I wasn’t there, but ultimately that’s what I enjoyed and I’m no longer working there and able to spend all my time with them. It made me realise how many owners are in exactly the same position. Sometimes work, holidays or simply life get in the way, and that’s completely okay. That’s why I decided to join Rover. I love being outdoors, I love spending time with dogs, and if I can help someone by giving their dog the walks, company and care they deserve while they’re busy, then that’s something I’d genuinely enjoy doing. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m reliable, caring and will treat every dog as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll always take the time to understand their routine, personality and anything that makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’ll also make sure you stay updated while you’re away, with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and having a great time. Pet care is my main focus at the moment, which means I can dedicate my time to providing reliable, flexible care throughout the week. My schedule allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m looking after, whether that’s walks, home visits or overnight stays. I enjoy keeping dogs company, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise and care, and I always adapt my routine to suit their individual needs. I only provide care in your dog’s own home, as I believe they’re happiest and most comfortable in familiar surroundings. Before every booking, I like to arrange a meet and greet where I’ll bring a short form to go through your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, walks, any medical needs, favourite sleeping spots, house rules and anything else you’d like me to know. That way I can keep their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and well looked after.

Wow just wow! I would give 100 stars if I could. From the time we met Simon we knew that our senior dog would be well cared for and happy. We had absolutely fantastic communication and daily updates regarding our dog who I think was fairly disappointed when we came home!! Would certainly be my first choice pet sitter for any future holidays. Thank you so much Lynette

About: I am an animal lover at heart and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs to care for. I can guarantee to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve. I work full time as a therapist, but most of my work is online, and I have a real love and passion for working with and caring for animals. I have a soul dog myself called Bueno. Bueno is an English Bulldog with neurological difficulties so I understand first hand how important it is to cater to each pets needs. I also have a very sassy cat called Socks who keeps me in check! Any pet in my care will be treated as my own, and I’d be happy to provide regular pupdates throughout. I’m currently working full time as a therapist, but as I work with children, my workload is significantly lessened over the summer holidays. Most of my sessions are online so I can care for your pets without leaving them alone most of the time! I’m more than happy to care for your pets in your home. If your pet gets on with other animals, Bueno would love to meet them also!

Phill did a great job looking after our two dogs. Pre our holiday Phil came and met dogs and then stopped in again just before we left. On the day of our departure Phil came early to ensure all set. Dogs warmed to him straight away and that includes our rescue who can be tricky with some people and especially men. Daily updates, comms and pictures sent throughout our 2 week holidays. Not only did Phil do a great job with the dogs but kept himself busy doing some painting around the house and in the garden painting our walls and steps which was great as jobs that have been meaning to do and now all done! All without asking Phil to do. House was also very clean with Phil doing a clean before we got home. Despite getting home in the early hours Phil stayed and waited for us to get home to make sure all good! We will definitely use Phil again and would recommend!

About: I love any breed of dog and love to look after them, walk them, cuddle them and make sure there happy doggies. I look after doggies currently where I live walking them for friends when they are working or away. I love to play with the dogs as well as walk and look after them as I feel this is just as important as walks. Pet care fits in well with me as I do shifts so can cover a range of days and times to suit you and your doggie When Pets are with me we have a large communial garden however I normally always go for walks along the river as it’s much nicer

Rosie was fantastic from beginning to end, looking after Diesel like a member of her own family. She came round for an initial meet and Diesel was instantly her friend, and we could tell he was in safe hands. Plenty of updates sent throughout our trip away kept us well informed and we returned to a very happy pooch. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, thanks Rosie!

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring dog lover with personal experience owning and looking after dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, relaxing at home, or simply having someone around for company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I only recently lost my own dog and have decided to try pet sitting for a while before I consider getting another of my own. I currently work full-time from home but have plenty of time for walks and play. I would relish the company. I can also work remotely at your house. I have a long fenced and secure garden. I also back onto a field where there are lovely walking paths. If I am sitting at your home I will be happy to follow your routine.

About: I have years of experience looking after dogs, alongside completed practical dog-grooming training. I’m particularly comfortable with nervous and sensitive dogs and understand the importance of patience, routine and giving each dog time to settle. Rover Schedule I work a rotating schedule, working Wednesday to Saturday one week and Monday to Wednesday the following week. This means I have 3–4 days available each week for pet care, with my availability changing depending on my work rota. I’m happy to discuss dates and times in advance to make sure I can give your pet the time, attention and care they need. Safety, Trust & Environment I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and individual needs.

Maisie has already spent time with our two little ones on several occasions, and each time she has been absolutely wonderful. She’s gentle, reliable, and always keeps us updated, which really puts my mind at ease. The dogs clearly adore her — they greet her with excitement every time, and we always come home to two calm, happy pups. 🐾💛 We’re always happy to have her back — highly recommend!

Jake is a consummate professional when it comes to pet & House Sitting.

We cannot recommend Amii highly enough! 🌟 She looked after our two very lively girls (a bouncy 2-year-old Staffy and an energetic 1-year-old Rottie) for three weeks while we were abroad for our wedding, and she was nothing short of incredible. From long adventurous walks, to snuggles on the sofa, to brain-training and fun activities — she truly went above and beyond to make sure they were loved, stimulated, and completely happy. It was such a comfort knowing they were in such safe and caring hands, especially being such high-energy pups. Ami kept us updated with photos and messages, so we could enjoy our wedding without worrying for a second. We came home to two very content, relaxed, and clearly well-loved dogs. If you’re looking for someone who treats your fur babies like family — Ami is the one. ❤️🐾 10/10, would book again without hesitation!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maidstone

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Maidstone on Rover is £31.05 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 5,723 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maidstone. 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 Maidstone 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 Maidstone 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
  • 83% 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.
