About: We love looking after dogs and want to help your pet feel at home with me while you’re away doing important human things. Please have a look at our pictures to see the fun some of our previous boarders have had including miniature rail way, hot tub, poker and dancing. Your pet will be part of our family when they are with us and we will keep them in mind when we plan activities so that they get to join in. We live close to a big green park for walks We love to take dogs with to our activities like going to the pub, the river, paddling pool and for days out. If your pet is up for it of course. I live with my partner who will also be involved in giving your pet love, care and attention. We have a big house and a lovely enclosed front and back garden for them to enjoy and once we are all worn out they can join us chilling in the sofa If you have a bigger dog than our set criteria we are happy to have them as long as they are well behaved and able to sleep downstairs alone. If your dates don’t align with our calendar please still ask and we can see if there is anything we can do. We do take up to 2 dogs at a time and have some lovely regulars. We also make sure it’s a suitable pair though, so for example we don’t take 2 un neutered dogs at once. I’m understanding if different schedules and will fit around theirs if needed. There are quiet spaces available in the house. I do a mixture of work from home and working from an office that’s only a few streets away. And partner does shifts so we can ensure someone is home 24/7. We can do any length and frequency of walk desired and dogs on longer stays will be taken for walks and days further away (Whisby being one of our favourite). I have an enclosed back garden and live in a quiet street. There are no other pets here and it’s a big house for them to have their own space and move around when home. The basics of my job as a nurse is making sure basic needs are met like eating, sleeping, weeing, popping and feeling content, well and happy and I want to make sure this happens for your pet to…. So be prepared to answer questions about their pooping routine! I have done the NarpsUK free dog sitting course and am currently undertaking the full course which includes being educated about dog/cat first aid, breeds and healthcare.
“Orissa house-sat our older Welsh Springer Spaniel for two nights. We were impressed right from the start. At the meet-and-greet it was obvious that Orissa was extremely organised, asking lots of questions and taking lots of notes. What was equally reassuring was her calm confidence when dealing with Brodie. Brodie became lame shortly before the booking and we had to adjust his daily routine to restricted exercise and provide regular medication. Orissa took the late changes in her stride and made sure that he didn't overdo his physical activities yet was mentally stimulated enough to not become restless overnight (something we don't always manage ourselves). Brodie clearly loved having Orissa around - he looked very happy in every one of the many photos she sent and the first evening we were back spent time looking for her to join us on his evening walk. And on top of keeping Brodie happy, when we returned home the house was spotless!”

“Hollie was great with Look Look! Hollie comes of as quiet and calm. She understood what needs to be done through the document we sent her and had taken care of Look Look well. I am sure her experience working in Southampton city farm also played a role. Her extended long stay discount is a bargain, we felt the need to tip her well as she even washed the sheets after her 5 nights stay with our dog! The house was kept clean and just like how we left it. The best proof of great service is when she left, the dog was still wanting to play with her and was sad that she is leaving. She truly loves animals and we will definitely recommend her.”

“We are so grateful to Pamela for taking such good care of our dog, Wendy. It was Wendy’s first stay with Pamela and she can be a bit nervous around new people. But Pamela was very patient and kind with her, which we very much appreciate. Pamela kept us updated with Wendy’s visit with lots of pictures and was very responsive throughout the booking process. Wendy is looking forward to her next stay 😊”

“Evie did a great job handling my pack. Each of my 3 dogs have specific needs and Evie took this all in her stride. Particularly impressed with how Evie handled my reactive Samoyed- he’s a strong, highly strung dog- but Evie wasn’t phased. Thank you Evie. Look forward to seeing you again soon!”


About: I have had dogs all my life and looked after cats, rodents, chickens and farm animals like pigs, donkeys, horses and goats. I have worked with horses since I was 16 and have done lots of house sitting before. I love being around animals, especially while I am studying at uni and missing my dog! I am currently studying at university, so I can fit in visits or walks between my schedule or housesit with the ability to pop out for lectures. Unfortunately I can’t board animals but happy to spend time with animals in their home. I love walking so always up for giving a dog a decent walk. And generally love to be around animals and giving them the attention they need!

About: 🐾 I'm a genuine dog lover who has grown up around dogs my whole life, so I'm very comfortable caring for them and understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. 🐾 I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. Whether they love energetic adventures or a gentle stroll, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they have a great time. 🐾 I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Along with walks, I'm always happy to provide lots of fuss, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and companionship to help them feel relaxed and loved. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide your dog with the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love being outdoors and regularly go on walks, so your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air, and companionship. Whether it's a longer countryside walk or a stroll around the local area, I'll make sure they're happy, active, and well looked after throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home provides a welcoming, relaxed environment where they can feel at ease during their stay. I also have a fully fenced garden, giving dogs a secure outdoor space to stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air under supervision. Whether they're relaxing indoors or exploring the garden, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for throughout their stay.

About: I've grown up with all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, birds, fish, and turtles. I also have experience with looking after rescue animals and a senior dog, and understand the extra attention that they may sometimes require. I'm currently completely free for the foreseeable future and am happy to come and look after your animals whenever you want! I'd love to spend all of that free time with animals! Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs, Im happy to provide. For example, specific feeding times, allergies, medication (and how to administer), walk lengths, or anything else that I might need to know. I'm very flexible as at the moment this is my only job and I'm happy to work around your requirements! I will always stay in contact with you as often as you would like and will update you with calls, photos, and texts depending on what you would prefer.
About: I’ve always had pets around me whilst I was growing up. I am experienced with epileptic dogs also as my “sister” (a French bulldog) has epilepsy and understand the importance of care and routine. I am a part time fully remote worker so am at home a lot. The school that my children attend is only a 5 minute walk away so not away from home long at all. I have a fully fenced and secure garden. We will be happy for any pet to join us on the sofa for cuddles. The upstairs is gated to help prevent any injuries.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Newark
We are very happy with the care Sarah gave to our elderly Cavalier, Lucy, while we were away on holiday. We had the chance to meet her prior to her stay and felt confident she would manage any of her medications and health issues. Lucy had a great week going out and about with Sarah. I would wholeheartedly recomend her as a dog sitter and the house was spotlessly clean on our return.

Ava was absolutely fantastic. Both our cats were happy (a difficult task). They were well looked after and the house was left in a lovely way, too. Ava was really easy to communicate with and is such a lovely person, too. We would very happily have Ava house sit for us again!

Lauren has been our regular sitter for a while now, and Max and Mitzi absolutely adore her! 🐶🐶 She’s reliable, caring, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. We can tell how much she genuinely loves animals — they get so excited every time she arrives! It gives us complete peace of mind knowing our pups are in such safe and loving hands. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!

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 Newark 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 Newark , the price of house sitting can vary between £17 and £88 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 Newark 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.
