“Thandi has done a day sit for our dogs, and she did an excellent job. Very attentive and sent regular updates. One of our dogs can get separation anxiety, and is unsure around new people, but Thandi handled it excellently, and we will definitely be using her again.”

“Melanie is amazing! ⭐️Super professional, thorough and attentive to our puppy’s needs. She looked after Cosmo at our home all day - we returned to a very happy dog, dinner prepared and the house in emaculate order. She was excellent at communicating through the day. We will definitely be booking her again. 🐶❤️”

“Amy is a lovely friendly lady. It was obvious when she first met my two Jack Russells that she loves dogs and the dogs definitely really liked her. They didn’t even bark when she first came in the house, which is unheard of! We went away for our weekend without a worry and returned home to two very happy relaxed doggies. Unusually, we are away meet weekend too and are very happily relieved that Amy is coming to stay again. We would highly recommend Amy.”


About: I’ve loved animals my whole life I have a 6 year old cockapoo called honey …she is my princess I have two guinea pigs called Bert and Ernie … I also used to breed rabbits and have experience looking after lots of other friends and family’s pets …i treat all animals like they are part of the family .. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. I make pet care a priority in my daily routine, ensuring each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship based on their individual needs and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if required), and any special instructions. I always ensure pets are secure on walks, keep a clean and safe environment, and provide lots of affection and positive attention. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I respect your home, leave it tidy, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
“We booked Courtney for a day of house sitting for our 15 week old puppy, Mae. When we returned home at 8pm Mae was happy and relaxed, obviously she'd had a good day. Will definitely book again in the future. Thanks to Courtney, with updates during the day we didn't have to worry about our fur baby.”


About: I've always lived with pets while growing up from the ages of 2 until recently. Both of my dogs passed away last year leaving me with no pets, I'm missing having some doggy love, and this is why I'm choosing to do this. In the past 5 years, I have looked after some family friends dogs while they go on holiday, I have looked after big dogs, small, young and old. Feel free to message me about any questions or requires you may have :) Jess My rota is very flexible, I am self employed so can work around you! I am available Monday - Sunday, any last minute requests please message me. My house is pet free and no young members of the household. My garden is fenced off with grass and concrete with a large park near by.
“Kim was a wonderful sitter and companion for our dog. This was the first time leaving Koa for a long time (12 days) and we were uncertain how Koa would do. But he immediately was comfortable with Kim and she took such excellent care of him. They went on lots of walks and he was snuggling with her right away. She sent frequent pictures and reports on their walks so we could enjoy our holiday with *no* worries. Upon our return he was so happy and content. Kim left the house beautifully clean and tidy which was such a joy to return to! Kim was an excellent communicator and always gracious in rapidly responding to my questions and messages. She did a fantastic job and we will try to book her for all our future needs!”

“Georgia was amazing and looked after our little lily so well. She arranged a meet and greet a week prior to the booking to make sure she got to know our pup well. Sadly lily came on her season during the booking but Georgia was very attentive to her and gave her lots of attention and cuddles. Georgia sent me lots of photos during the booking and lily had a great time with her. Would definitely book again! Thanks Georgia xx”

“Sarah was the perfect house dog sitter. Louie was relaxed and settled with her as evidenced by the photos she sent whilst we were away. As a bonus our home was immaculate when we returned. Sarah kindly started early and stayed late to accommodate our flights so Louie wasn’t left on his own too long . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah.”

“A returned to Emily for her services again as we felt the dogs are very comfortable around her. She clearly has a lot of care for animals and left the house in perfect condition! Will continue to rebook in future 😊”

About: I am an animal care professional with 25years experience caring for exotic animals in zoos and safari parks. For the past 10 years I have focussed on pet care while living in Tenerife! From dogs and cats to parrots and pigs! I believe in love and attention for our pets in abundance. I am also an advocate for positivity and kindness in pet care ...as I am a positive reinforcement dog trainer. I recently lost my pug to old age . I can´t wait for some cuddles to fill the gap my little boy pug has left in my heart. I am just starting on Rover but I can provide references from previous pet sits I have done, as well as vets AND zoos I have worked for. Our pets are our family. Peace of mind knowing they are being loved and cared for while you are away is my priority. I currently work online, which gives me plenty of flexibility and means pet care fits really naturally into my day. I’m able to spend lots of time with the animals I’m looking after rather than having to rush off to work for hours at a time. I can easily work around feeding times, playtime, medication or just keeping them company, and because I work from my laptop, I’m very happy having a furry companion nearby while I work! I absolutely love animals, and their happiness and wellbeing will always come first when they’re in my care. I also understand how strange it can feel leaving your pets — and your home — in someone else’s hands, so I want you to feel completely relaxed while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, medication and all their little individual habits and preferences. I’m very respectful of each animal’s personality and will never force attention — if they want cuddles, yay! ..and if they prefer their own space, that’s absolutely fine too. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, keep everything secure and tidy, and send you regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing everything is being well looked after and spoiled rotten!
“We couldn’t be happier with the decision to message Mylie to look after our two wiener dogs while we are on vacation in Mexico for 7 days. Mylie came through and bailed us out last minute as we were scrambling to find a dog sitter to stay in our home during our trip. She was incredibly respectful and caring of both our dogs and our home, going above and beyond to make them feel safe and loved. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“I could not have wished for a more caring, thoughtful and understanding person to look after my furbabies. I had daily pupdates with photos and my hormonal Shih Tzu was seduced by Giles and Holly turning into a big marshmallow. Monty fell in love the moment they walked through the door and Boris wants to be adopted by them. They get the highest praise possible, what a lovely couple.”

About: Greetings! With a genuine passion for animals and over a decade of practical experience, I offer reliable and compassionate pet care services. Over the past 10 years, I've had the pleasure of engaging with a variety of pets, specializing in the care of dogs – from large and boisterous to small and shy. My journey into pet care started organically around 5 years ago, evolving into 21 highly rewarding and mostly longer-term house-sitting opportunities. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and my personal companion, a rescue of almost 13 years, accompanies me on every adventure. In addition to canine care, I've successfully tended to the needs of horses, goats, rabbits, and birds, and maintained marine fish and coral environments. Administration of medications, including tablets, injections, and other forms, is within my realm of expertise. Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved companions to a seasoned caregiver who values their well-being and happiness. Let's make your time away worry-free and filled with contented pets. As a self-employed business owner running a boutique digital agency with a fully remote work structure, incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine seamlessly aligns with my flexible schedule. Working remotely provides the advantage of being present for our furry friends throughout the day. In my daily routine, breaks for walks, playtime, and feeding become cherished moments of connection with pets under my care. These breaks not only ensure their well-being but also serve as rejuvenating intervals for me, fostering a balanced work-life dynamic. Whether it's a midday stroll or a quick game of fetch, these interactions contribute to a positive and thriving environment for the pets. Every week, I allocate dedicated time for more extended adventures and activities, catering to the specific needs and preferences of each pet. This structure allows for a harmonious blend of work responsibilities and attentive pet care, creating a fulfilling routine for both myself and the animals. The flexibility inherent in my remote work setup further allows me to adapt swiftly to any unexpected pet care requirements, ensuring that their comfort and happiness remain a top priority. In essence, my routine revolves around creating a balanced and enjoyable environment for pets, enriching their lives while maintaining the productivity of my professional endeavours. Currently, my primary focus is providing dedicated pet care within the familiar surroundings of their own homes. This approach ensures that pets experience minimal disruption to their routines and feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. My pet care routine typically includes: Playtime and Exercise: Engaging in play and exercise is an integral part of my care routine. I tailor activities to each pet's preferences and energy levels, whether it's a spirited game of fetch or a stroll around the neighbourhood. Affection and Companionship: Pets thrive on companionship, and I prioritize spending quality time providing affection, belly rubs, and any other attention they may crave. Updates for Pet Owners: Communication is key. I keep pet owners informed with regular updates, including photos, videos and messages, to provide peace of mind about their furry family members. Starting in June, I am excited to announce that I will be expanding my services to include home boarding. This will offer a home-away-from-home experience for pets, where they can enjoy a secure and loving environment.
About: I'm a qualified dog walker and pet sitter. I have qualified in level 2 animal care, level 2 vet nursing and level 3 pet first aid. I have grown up with a variety of different types of pets. I have been working with dogs for the last 8 years. I work with your pets during the day and then I have an evening job that is 3 hours and not related to animals. The evening job is near my home, so I will only do it if I'm on local sits. I will put your dogs in a crate or a safe room in the house, if I'm going out to the shops. I make sure outside space is safe for your pet.
“Great big thanks to you Kevin for looking after Stanley in our house for a couple of days. Stan had the best time, lots of long walks & cuddles. We would definitely recommend you & have you to look after Stan again. Very trustworthy, friendly & left our house immaculate.”

“Eden was really good! Eden kept me update how my pup was getting on and sent plenty of photos. I felt really comfortable leaving my pup with Eden. He looked to have had a great time. Thank you Eden!”

“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.”

“We haven’t been on holiday in four years and a big part of that was the dogs (two fenchies, one very reactive). Richard and Emma looked after them so well, sent daily updates of videos and photos so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The dogs absolutely fell in love and were sad when they left. I guess we need to book another holiday so the dogs can spend time with their new best friends 😊”

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 North 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 North Devon, the price of house sitting can vary between £26 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 North 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.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
