I liked Anita the moment I met her. She is calm and warm and I felt great confidence in leaving her to look after our cats and our home while we were away for nearly 3 weeks. Its clear our cats felt comfortable in her presence, particularly one who can be slightly anxious and she regularly sent photos and updates on how they were doing which was reassuring. We returned home to a spotless house and a couple of very relaxed pussycats. I can highly recommend Anita and will definitely be booking her again.

About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been surrounded by animals. Over the years, I've regularly looked after the pets of friends and family, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and care needs. A few years ago, I volunteered at a dog shelter in Cape Town, which strengthened my passion for working with dogs. Since then, I've cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments in my local community. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication when needed. Most of all, I have a big heart and a genuine love for animals. I'm honest, reliable, and attentive, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pets will be treated as if they were my own. I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, care, and attention, and I'll enjoy every moment spent with them. I always adjust my schedule to meet your pet's individual needs. As pet sitting is my full-time focus, I'll be with your pets for the majority of the day, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship. Your dog will enjoy regular walks suited to their personality and energy level, whether that's exploring the countryside, playing fetch at a local park, or socialising with other friendly dogs. Every walk is designed to keep them happy, active, and engaged while maintaining their usual routine. Safety and security are my number one priority. I will always discuss your dog's recall, temperament, and how they interact with other dogs and people, and I will carefully follow any advice or requests you provide. Your dog will only be let off lead with your permission and only in safe, secure areas. I aim to keep to your dog's usual routine so they feel comfortable and settled while you're away. If they enjoy the company of other dogs, I can provide group walks. If they prefer one-to-one walks, I will happily accommodate that too.

Brooke was such a pleasure to deal with! Rocco our dog had recently undergone some major surgery so we were anxious to leave him- we had no need to worry as Brooke took perfect care of him whilst we were away. Brooke stayed at our home and left it in immaculate condition. We would highly recommend Brooke to anyone! Thanks again for looking after Rocco.

We made a very last-minute booking with Renata to house sit and look after our dog Toby for 3 nights. Renata made friends with Toby immediately and looked after him beautifully, with regular reassuring messages and photos throughout our time away. Our home was also left extremely neat and tidy, which was appreciated on returning home. Recommended!

Madison was fantastic! She kindly agreed to look after my dog, River, on fairly short notice and stayed at my house while I was away. River had such a great time with her – it was clear she was well cared for and given lots of attention. She also left my home lovely and clean and well looked after, which was such a thoughtful touch to come back to. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, and I’d be happy to book with her again!

It was very warm and Betsy was on some medication and Ania made every effort to keep Betsy cool and made sure she had the medication she needed. Our house was left lovely and clean, would definitely recommend!

About: Hi, I’m Freya. I’ve always loved animals and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. After recently losing my dog, I realised how much I miss having dogs around and how much joy they bring to daily life. That’s what inspired me to start caring for other people’s pets through Rover. I’d love to give dogs and cats the attention, affection, walks, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each animal’s personality and needs — whether that’s energetic walks, cuddle time on the sofa, or simply keeping a nervous pet company and helping them feel secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while your pet is in my care. I know pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! From June until August, I am home from university so very free to be looking after animals! They will never be left for too long and I will always make time for them. I have a cat at home who is very docile, I love to go on walks and spend time with animals whether that be by the tv or on the beach!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and my own dog Toby is now in his senior years so I’m very used to being gentle and mindful of what older pups may need. Caring for him has taught me how to keep walks calm and comfortable and how to spot when a dog needs a slower pace or a tad bit of extra reassurance. I’m also great with younger more energetic dogs and I’m happy to match their pace to keep them engaged and help them burn off some of that never ending energy!! Whether it is a steady stroll, lively walk or just keeping them company, I want to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well looked after in my company! I’m a student at the University of Bath studying Biomedical Sciences. Now in my third year, I tend to be up at campus less and have got a really flexible schedule. During the week I spend a lot of my time working on assignments, which means I’m usually at my laptop, perfect for pet sitting because I’m around all day and able to give dogs plenty of company. At the same time though I find that brain fog is very real and so getting outside for regular walks is ideal for me too. It breaks up my work and means I can take dogs out throughout the day, check in as needed, or just hang out with them whilst I work. I’m available Monday through Sunday, so my routine is super flexible and easy to fit around whatever your pup needs. My priority is keeping things calm, safe, and familiar for them. I will stick closely to your usual routines (such as feeding times, walk schedules, house rules, and any little quirks your pet has) so they feel settled and secure with me. I’m very mindful of safety in the home, making sure doors, gates, and anything they shouldn’t get into are kept properly closed. I also value keeping communication open, sending updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether I’m checking in, staying with them for the day, or keeping them company while I work, I make sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and never alone in their own space!

About: Hi! My name is Alina and I'm a caring, trustworthy, and responsible pet sitter who understands that pets are family. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of cuddles. I know how important it is to keep owners updated, so I'll send regular photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet needs overnight boarding, daytime care, or walks, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I'm looking after. I make sure they receive regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, exercise where appropriate, and plenty of love and attention. I spend most of my time at home, so pets are rarely left alone for long. I enjoy providing a calm, consistent environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I provide calm, loving, and attentive care tailored to each pet's individual needs and routine. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, fresh food and water, and regular playtime. I carefully follow any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect their routine to help them feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I make sure they are fed on time, have clean water, receive exercise or play as needed, keep litter trays or living areas clean, and provide companionship and lots of care. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well looked after. 🐾

About: Since my teenager years, I’ve been surrounded with my poodle, a cat and a turtoise so I’m comfortable with pets and different personalities. I’ve also looked after friends’ pets, including cats and energetic terriers. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply company, I make sure they feel safe, secure and comfortable. Having recently moved to the UK for my PGCE and missing my own pets, I have plenty of time to invest in taking care of your companions. I am currently on holiday so my schedule is quite flexible. Most days I spend time exploring the area and meeting friends which makes it easy for me to fit pet care in my routine. If you know dates you need someone, just let me know. I’m flexible and always happy to see if we can make it work! Unfortunately unable to welcome your pets in my shared space with allergic roommates… In your home, let me know your routines and any special preferences your pet has. I love to spend quality time with animals, whether it’s playing with an energetic animal or giving them quiet company. Of course, I’ll treat your home with respect, send regular updates so you know how happy and well cared for your pet is.

Marie was brilliant!! She came to meet our pup Theo with her partner the day before and they were both great. Showed up on time on the day with some treats and a toy for him which I'm sure he fully appreciated. We're always a little hesitant as he's a slightly larger pup but she had zero problems! We get loads of updates and images throughout the day of how he was doing which we were more than happy with! All in all I would fully recommend her and will most likely be booking her again.

About: I love dogs and love spending time with them. I’ve spent many years looking after friends and families dogs while they are away - taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m used to dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand every dog is different. My main goal is to make the dog feel loved and safe. As a professional athlete, I am extremely reliable, trustworthy and always on time! I love the outdoors and it is always made better by sharing that space with a dog. I’m currently a professional athlete based in Bath. I am often training in the mornings but tend to have late afternoons and evenings free - although my schedule is flexible. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, and as a strong young man I have no issue managing larger dogs. The safety and trust of the dog is my top priority

About: I have dog sat a variety of different dogs, with neighbours, friends and family trusting me to care for their pets whilst on holiday. Includes walking, feeding and bathing them! I am a third-year university student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your babies when needed! I will be sure to keep an eye on your dog at all times when they're outside, whether that be in the garden or on a walk. I can also crate your pet if requested.

This dog sitter is one in a million. Not only was she prepared to do the injections for diabetes she was also prepared to use canine nursing skills after my dog went into hospital to have a double cataract operation requiring 22 eye drops a day across 4 different time periods. She also dealt with 8 tablets a day oral medication. This enabled me to continue with my holiday plans to Australia Both my dogs were very happy on my return. They had obviously been well loved in my absence and exercised as directed and following directions to the letter. Kat is kind, loving and fun and I’m very grateful for her current and future help. You cannot wish for a better dog sitter!!!

Rowan is very easy to contact and a very chilled out person which gave me faith that my babies are in good hands. Despite the fact my carers left the kitchen in an utter mess, Rowan just saw round that ( Wedding day so carers had to get my “now” husband and and then get ready themsey). As the chaos.of the morning and they all ran out of time. Both animals looked like they’d been brushed. Especially the dog who was super fluffy Thank you Rowan for an excellent over night stay with our cuties!

FAQs for House Sitting – North East Somerset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in North East Somerset on Rover is £40.25 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 2,040 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North East Somerset. 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 North East Somerset 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 North East Somerset 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.
