About: I was very lucky to grow up surrounded by cats and dogs. From a young age, I was taught how to care for them, respect their boundaries, and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As I got older, I began looking after friends' pets while they were away. It never felt like work—it was something I genuinely loved doing. My goal was always to make their time away feel like a little holiday, full of care, play, and companionship. Everything changed when I adopted my rescue cat. Caring for him deepened my understanding of the trust, patience, and love that animals deserve. It inspired me to turn something I had always enjoyed into a service I could offer to other pet owners, giving them peace of mind while they're away. My aim is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved until you're home again. I am working full time on rotating shifts (mornings and afternoons) Monday to Friday. I can take care of your pet around my working schedule. I am observing pet’s behaviour to understand and fulfil their needs. I enjoy playing with them, take them for walks, and give them down time when they need.

Debbie is a gem, her level of care for both our pets and our home is second to none. In the midst of a very busy family holiday she took the stress and worry off our shoulders with ease. Our pets were calm and happy on our return. Thank you so much Debbie!

Isla looked after my dog and house this weekend and did a fantastic job. She took great care of my dog, making sure he was well looked after, exercised, and settled while I was away. When I came back, the house was also spotless and exactly how I left it, which I really appreciated. It was clear she is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isla to anyone looking for someone dependable to care for their pets and home.

Can't speak highly enough of Bow. She came with very short notice after someone else had let me down. She met with Deezy a couple of days before the day and he took to her so well. She knew exactly when to give him space and when to approach - a complete natural. Bow shared photos and updates and Deezy was a very happy boy when I returned. Highly recommend Bow for looking after your pets, they're so safe in her hands. Thanks very much, Bow!

Claire was wonderful with my two older dogs. After a bad experience with another sitter, it was a difficult decision to leave my dogs with somebody else but the risk was well worth it. Claire loved my dogs like her own. I've never returned from somewhere with them being more content and settled afterwards. My house was left spotless too. Claire sent lots of updates and photos and it was evident that within a few hours I'd been forgotten about as Claire had won them over!

About: CATS - I’ve had cats since the age of 9. I currently have 3 cats who I adore. One of them has asthma and I am experienced in medicating her with her inhaler. I have had cats in the past who have been on tablet medication who I have solely cared for so am experienced in giving cats tablet medicine. I previously cared for a cat who had medication from a syringe (orally) so I have a bit of experience giving medicine in a syringe to cats also. I have groomed every cat I’ve owned including nail care. DOGS - I lived with dogs for a number of years when I was at home with my parents. I don’t have experience giving dogs medication or grooming them but I have lots of experience walking small - medium dogs. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with large dogs unfortunately. I absolutely love animals and have so much room in my heart to love and care for them. Unfortunately I just don’t have the room in my house, which is why I choose to care for others pets instead so that I can still open my heart to them. I am a mobile carer so I’m always on the go. I’m very used to driving around and keeping to specific schedules so I’m happy to stay as close to your pets personal schedule as I can! CATS - when caring for a cat in your home I will stick to routine as much as possible and follow your guidelines in your home. I do not board cats. DOGS - with dogs I will follow your routine as much as possible as well and follow your guidelines in your home. Walks will always be on lead unless told otherwise, and I will only take them off lead once I am confident they will come when I call them. I do not board dogs

About: Hi, I’m Nina 👋 I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, from growing up with dogs and cats to caring for small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Some are full of energy and need long walks to burn it off, others are shy or elderly and just want gentle company and care. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 Reliable & communicative: You’ll always get photo/video updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy. Pet safety first: I’m DBS checked, and committed to giving your pets the best possible care. Cat & small animal specialist: I don’t just walk dogs — I’m experienced with cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. 🐶 Services I Offer • Dog walking (in your local area on your dogs usual routes) • Dog visits (feeding, playtime, cuddles, toilet breaks) • Cat visits (feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter cleaning) • Small animal care (rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, etc. feeding, playtime, cleaning out) • Administering meds where needed PLEASE MESSAGE ME FOR PRICES the prices in this app are generated from them and are sometimes over inflated for multiple animals etc, Also, there are possibilities of dog overnight boarding if your dog gets on with mine, this would involve presents to determine first. Again message for details ⸻ 👉 My goal is simple: to treat your pets as if they were my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life. I structure my mornings and evenings around walks and visits, and I love having animals as part of my everyday routine. Spending time with pets isn’t something I have to squeeze in — it’s genuinely the best part of my day Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace so they feel relaxed and secure. On walks, I use your own leads and harnesses, and stick to routes that suit your dog’s needs — whether that’s a quiet stroll for a nervous pup or a more energetic walk for those with plenty of energy to burn. For home visits, I make sure your pet’s environment stays safe, clean, and familiar. I’ll refresh water, feed according to your instructions, clean litter trays or hutches, and keep everything tidy. Just as important, I spend quality time giving them company, reassurance, and play — so they’re not just cared for, but truly happy. You’ll always receive regular updates with photos or videos, so you know exactly how your pets are doing while you’re away.

Gabriela looked after our spaniel Murphy. Murphy does not get on well in kennels and likes his own environment and routine. So we decided to take a leap of faith and seek external help to enable us to have a much needed weekend away. We have in the past had family members care for him, but that is not always convenient for them We were nervous about leaving him with a home sitter But as soon as we met Gabriela our nerves were settled she is a delightful and very kind person and she took wonderful care of our much loved pet. She got on with his quirky ways and embraced his eccentricity. She followed his routine to a tee and we came home to a very happy boy. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed We will certainly be asking her to look after him again Thank you so much Gabriela hope to see you soon

About: I had 2 beautiful staffies that have now passed on due to old age and I know how hard it is to find good people to look after your pet last minute or even for holidays or days out, I miss having dogs but like to travel so can no longer be a permanent dog owner, but I'm happy to share the love and look after your furry friends In your time of need. I have experience looking after cats and dogs in my adult life and had various other pets as a child (all had fur or feathers) I do not allow animals on my furniture or on/in my bed, these are my non negotiables as I like the spaces I use to relax to be free of dog hair and dirt. This doesn't change the fact that your pet will be loved and fussed (if that's what they like) I prefer dogs to have a crate as my 2 loved theirs and it helps keep boundaries in the home, however, I am flexible with each pets individual care needs, I can sleep downstairs or have your pet sleep in their bed in my bedroom if needed for anxious pets or those used to sleeping in bed with their owners. I would prefer a visit/meet before any official booking to ensure I am the right fit for your pet and vise versa, but I appreciate this won't always be possible, communication is key, as I want to offer the best care possible for your pet. I have experience in crate training, muzzle training and puppy/toilet training and have looked after other people's dogs before unofficially for neighbours and family member etc. I used this service myself for my boy years ago and was very anxious to leave him with a stranger so please ask any questions you may have, I'm an open book. I work from home on certain days of the week, this can change as sometimes I may need to visit clients but this is rare and usually pre planned. Pets will be walked first thing in the morning before work and then again after work, or whatever is required for each individual. It's important and animal is stimulated and gets exercise if they are able. I have a small grass back garden that is fenced off for fresh air and toilet needs, there is a park 2 minutes form my house for walks etc. I don't currently have any pets at home

Katrin is amazing! She is so friendly and understanding when it comes to my nervous cockapoo Daisy. She puts my mind to ease as I have never left Daisy with anyone before . Although Daisy is nervous of new people she warmed up to Katrin very fast. Cannot recommend enough! Will be booking Katrina whenever I need a dog sitter for Daisy :)

I was really dubious about leaving my two boys with a dog boarder, I suppose most of us are for the first time. I spoke to a few potential boarders before Sue, I'm so glad I waited to find her. We had a couple of meet n greets at Sue's house and mine, original plan was to sit with the boys @home. Sue welcomed the boys into her home, the were well looked after. Sue was kind to send picture of them both having fun, putting my mind at rest. I was so impressed with the care she gave them both, I definitely recommend Sue, 100%>

They have obviously loved Chloe. I would highly recommend her to look after your pets, and I will be definately asking her to look after my fur babies again, communication was great and so were the pictures, thank you . Chloe you are amazing! Lorraine and Charles

Neal was fantastic with Chester! His initial pre-meet went really well and put my mind at ease straight away. He was punctual, left the house spotless, and maintained great communication throughout the stay. Chester can be a bit difficult on walks, so it was amazing to see photos and updates of him out and about, happy and well-managed. Highly recommended

Cloe was excellent with Chester and clearly cares a lot about the dogs she looks after. She made sure he was well exercised, happy, and settled the whole time, and kept me regularly updated which was really reassuring. It was obvious he was in safe hands and being properly looked after. She also went the extra mile around the house, which was a nice bonus, but her care for Chester was the standout. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mansfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Mansfield 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 1,319 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mansfield. 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 Mansfield 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 Mansfield 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.
