Veronica did a last minute house sit for our two dogs while we were on holiday. Our dogs can be quite hyper active and bounce off each other's energy a lot, which can be overwhelming for some people, but Veronica was amazing with them throughout the whole stay. She took them on lots of walks, gave them lots of fuss and play, and it's obvious they really enjoyed her company. We got videos and photos throughout the stay which eased my mind as we hadn't left them both together with anyone before, so we weren't sure how they'd behave or react. She made sure the house was super clean and tidy when we came back, which was great as we got back very late and it was one less thing to worry about doing! Overall an amazing experience and we'd be more than happy for her to look after our dogs again any time. ☺️

Rebecca was super friendly and communicative from the start, and Bumble seemed perfectly happy when I got back. She'd even left the house neater and cleaner than when I left! Would highly recommend. Thank you, Rebecca!

Very impressed with India’s professionalism and communication. My first time using a dog sitter and India made it feel easy. Kept me updated with photos and how they were getting on. This helped to put my mind at rest that everything was ok. Everything was left tidy when I got home and a very content young dog. I would recommend for dog sitting in the future.

About: I have a Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Animal Care and First Aid & Handling of animals. I also have a cat of my own who is used to other pets. I have had four dogs of different breed and I understand their behavior's and needs. I have trained my own dogs since puppies, nurtured them and given lots of love and cuddles. Due to personal circumstances i decided the dogs should remain together allowing them their comfort in their own home they grew up in. Animals are priceless and I can comprehend with that. I am available every day including weekends, but will require two days notice for availability as I can only have maximum of 5 pets a day. My garden is fenced and secure. There is plenty of space for play in the garden and cosy home for cuddles and naps. Plenty of food, and fresh water along with loads of treats. If special diet is required then please inform me.

Tehya looked after Phoebe as if she was her own dog. I was kept informed with photos and messages and she left my home as clean and tidy as I left it. I will definitely be using her services again as it takes all the stress our of leaving my dog behind when I know she is so well looked after and happy.

Eden has been amazing. She looked after our two dogs on short notice and they absolutely loved her. Sent pictures of the dogs and kept me informed on issues that arose. Not only that but she left the house so clean and tidy. Perfect communication, perfect pet sitter. Will definitely book her again in the future.

About: Hi there! I’m Phoebe, a qualified veterinary nurse of 5 years. I have worked within the veterinary industry for 8 years. As a vet nurse specialising in emergency and critical care, I am dedicated to catering to pets with extra or special needs. I understand the unique conditions and requirements that some pets may have, and I strive to provide the highest level of care to meet those needs. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with the Greyhound Trust, where I learned the importance of compassion and dedication in animal care. Additionally, my time at a boarding kennel has given me hands-on experience with a variety of pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’m passionate about providing the best care for your furry friends and look forward to meeting them! My current schedule is 7 days on and 7 days off. So having every other week off means I spend a lot of time at home! During my 7 days on I work from 15:30 - 00:00. I can care for pets during my week when I am working too if this suits your pet’s needs. I have a 3 bedroom property with a garden that has a large fence around it. I myself have two friendly dogs. Introductions will be made to ensure compatibility with pets. While I am happy to accept raw-fed dogs, I am unable to feed them raw food during their stay with me for the safety and comfort of all pets in my care. I kindly request that raw food not be brought into my home. However, I am happy to cater to raw-fed pets in their own home to ensure their needs are met while under my care.

About: I’m a new graduate veterinarian from the University of Liverpool currently applying to jobs abroad. Whilst i’m waiting, i’m more than happy to help you out by house-sitting or drop-ins. My family have owned dogs throughout my childhood, from terriers to border collies to our springer Jasper, meaning i’m used to the exercise some dogs require. Any questions just give me a message. I’m currently organising various bits before moving abroad (date TBC) so other than emails, occasional interviews and generic admin, i’m free to cater to your dog’s needs. We have a 6yo rescue Springer Spaniel and previously we’ve owned a Lakeland Terrier and a rescue Border Collie. They’ve all had their quirks and haven’t been the easiest to take care off so I don’t expect your’s to be either, just let me know what works for you and we can go from there.

About: After my westie passed away 8yrs ago, it took me a while to figure what I wanted to do with my life, I’d lived with various dog breeds and cared for them, so the natural path for me to pursue was working with animals, this bought me great happiness and joy, it healed my heart. This is my full time calling, I dog walk on certain days and diary allowing I pet sit, I cover Leicester but I also do ad hoc sits. I always do a meet and greet, get a full history of the pets, walk them with the owner. I get a full rundown of the home. Typical questions: age, breed, allergies, medication, walks, food & treats, vets details, where they sleep, when they were last groomed and vaccinations.

Absolutely outstanding first class care of my dog and all of the fish tanks. I would highly recommend Fiona as carer if you’re pets.

FAQs for House Sitting – Melton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Melton on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,228 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Melton. 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 Melton 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 Melton 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.
