“Ann was wonderful. She lives locally so came to see us and Juno before dog sitting. She communicated regularly and we came back to a happy dog. We have already arranged for her to dog sitting later in the year. Highly recommended.”
“Hilary looked after our 2 dogs at the end of August . We had good communication throughout (despite my poor phone signal) , and Hilary looked after them really well, we came home to 2 very happy dogs. She also applied some medication to one dog everyday, and also moderated their walks as it was very hot on a few days too. Highly recommend and would definitely book again if she was available . Thanks Hilary .”
“It’s always difficult to trust your beloved dogs, puppies and canine family to people who are new to your pack. But Patrick has been amazing. He made the trip to meet my two dogs who are very different in their needs and personalities. Every day we have been away I have had an update on what they have been upto, photos and amazing communication. As a pet owner it was great to receive the updates but also good to see how Patrick had settled into our home and community. I can’t recommend him enough, really pleased we chose each other and for the service I received. We will be using him again. Thank you Patrick”
“Emily stayed at our house to look after our dog Rupert whilst we were on holiday. She did an amazing job and Rupert seemed like he became very attached to her. Me and my partner were very stressed about finding the right person because we’ve never left Rupert and he is only 11 months old. But Emily made sure that Rupert was her number 1 priority and ensured that every one of his needs were met. We will no doubt be wanting Emily to look after Rupert again in the future!”
“Jo was absolutely perfect for our reactive, strong rescue dog! Jo is warm, kind and sent us updates but most importantly left us feeling totally reassured that our anxious dog would be loved and well looked after. Our dog also took to Jo and her wonderfully warm energy instantly, as did we. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Zoe answered our request immediately even though it was at relatively short notice. We met up the next day where Freya’s immediate response was very positive. Zoe asked all the right questions to understand and get to know Freya and her idiosyncrasies. Zoe contacted us a couple of times during the three day sit on minor issues which were quickly resolved. The only problem was that when it was time for her to leave Freya insisted on following her out of the door! Zoe clearly has an infinity with dogs and a caring attitude. We felt complete confidence in her and will have no hesitation in using her again and recommending her to others. Thanks Zoe.”
About: Hiya I’m Toria, I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have always loved being around animals. I regularly look after friends’ and family members’ pets, so I’m comfortable caring for a range of personalities, ages and energy levels. I’ve had lots of experience with different breeds, including Labradors, Cocker Spaniels and Terriers, and I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks and needs. I’m patient, caring and reliable, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some company while you’re away, or your cat just needs someone to pop in for a fuss and make sure they’re happy, I’d love to help! I’m currently completing my PhD in Genomic Medicine, so while I’m not available during typical 9–5 working hours, I’m available in the evenings and throughout weekends. I have my own car, so I’m also able to travel to care for your pets and can be flexible with locations. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your pets, and I’m happy to work around their usual routines and your schedule wherever possible. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for, while keeping to their normal routine as much as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if required, and any other specific needs. When caring for a pet in their owner’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet receives plenty of attention, companionship and exercise. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel relaxed and happy while their owners are away.
“We booked Denise for a weekend of overnight house and pet sitting for our dog and cat. Denise was great with her communication before the sit and during the sit. She sent us regular updates and photos which was very reassuring. Denise is exceptionally respectful and calm. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and cat, and a spotless house. We would 100% book Denise again without hesitation. Thank you Denise.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Rowena looking after our dogs. She was calm, friendly and clearly loves animals, and our dogs took to her straight away. She sent us plenty of updates and photos while we were away, which was so reassuring and allowed us to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was such a comfort knowing they were in safe and caring hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Rowena again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Ellie was brilliant with our anxious rescue dog and was very attentive to his needs. We enjoyed our time out knowing he would be well looked after. We had photo updates and could see how happy he was, due to her kindness. Thank you Ellie!”
“Natalie was absolutely fantastic! She kept us informed throughout the day and sent us plenty of pictures. She took our two dogs on a long walk, which they absolutely loved. She was very responsive and attentive to everything our dogs needed. We would definitely recommend Natalie and will happily book her again in the future!”
About: I’ve always had a dog at home and have looked after dogs for neighbours, family and friends over the years, as well as a few cats. I just really love being around animals and getting to know their different personalities. I’m happy taking dogs out for walks and playing with them, but also very happy just sitting with them and having a cuddle in the evening. I’ll always do my best to make them feel comfortable and looked after while you’re away. I’m a uni student in Exeter, so I’d be able to fit pet care quite naturally into my daily routine. In the mornings, I’d feed them and take them out for a walk before heading to lectures. During the longer breaks in my day, I’d come home to let them out and spend a bit of time with them. Then in the evenings, I’d take them out for another walk, or we could just have a cosy evening together watching a nature show or something! Then weekends are totally free so a nice long walk if they’re up for it! I love animals and would treat them with lots of care, patience and attention, while making sure to follow their usual routine and anything their owner asks of me. I’d also be respectful of their home and keep everything clean and tidy. I’d be happy to give regular updates and photos too, so the owner knows their pet is doing well and feels reassured while they’re away.
“Ghalia is a fantastic pet and house sitter. She is great at communicating and sending updates too. My cat is very relaxed when she is around and we returned to a very happy cat and and a very tidy house!”

Ann came and stayed with our terrier Bea in our house. Bea was very happy and settled with her and obviously felt very relaxed. Ann was very reliable and kept us informed throughout the weekend. I felt very confident with her and have already planned for her to dog sit again!

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 Mid Devon 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 Mid Devon, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £58 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 Mid Devon 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
