Adrienne took wonderful care of our dog Keller. This was our first experience using Rover for dog sitting, and Adrienne was consistently responsive, clear, helpful, and kind. She came to our house for a meet and greet and got to know Keller, and during the stay she checked in frequently with updates. We are looking forward to working with her again, and would strongly recommend her services to others!

This was our first time with Rover and Devon. Everything was so easy and gave us great reassurance. Devon came to meet us and Harvey before the stay and they seemed to get on well. Our trip away was for just one night and Devon shared photos and messages to let us know all was well. All in all a great stay and a great sitter. We’ve already booked Devon a second time :-)

Lucy was a wonderful sitter for our two frenchies. They both need walking separately as one of them is reactive, and she was more than happy to accommodate their needs. She gave us regular updates and left the house clean and tidy for when we got back. I highly recommend Lucy to anyone needing a sitter!

Peyton has looked after our gsd cross Sammy a couple of times now and we can’t speak highly enough. She’s super friendly, always responds quickly and we feel 100% comfortable and confident leaving him with her. He’s always super happy to see her and is his normal happy self when we get back

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and I currently have two cats of my own. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I offer drop-in visits, house sitting and day care in your own home. I’m happy caring for cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets and friendly dogs, and I can follow your pet’s routine, including giving oral medication if you show me how. I know every pet is different, so whether yours wants lots of fuss or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. Because I work from home, I’m able to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine. I can offer morning, afternoon or evening visits, as well as house sitting and day care in your home. Weekend availability is usually not a problem either, so I’m happy to help whenever I can. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I’ll always respect their routine and your home. Before every booking, I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, favourite activities and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’ll keep you updated throughout my visits, so you’ll never have to wonder how they’re doing.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have a dog of my own who lives with my parents, and I’ve been taking care of him since I was growing up, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with looking after a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m also comfortable staying in someone’s home and making sure both their dog and home are well looked after while they’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. My days can vary, but I’m able to work my routine around a dog’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I really enjoy having dogs around, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and make sure they get the exercise, care, and companionship they’re used to. My flexible university schedule also means I can be available during the day and adapt to different routines and requirements. 🐶🐾 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m responsible and respectful of both the pet and their home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on pets when they’re outside, and follow their feeding, walking, and medication routines if needed. I also keep their environment clean and tidy. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always do my best to give them the same care and love I would want for my own dog. 🐶❤️

Leah has been absolutely amazing, she really helped us out with a last minute booking after someone else cancelled. Leah is super friendly and provided detailed daily updates throughout the week with photos and videos. One of my girls are very nervous, has dietary requirements and needs eyedrops and Leah handled all of this with no issues. It was very clear to see in the photos and videos that both girls absolutely adored her and were quickly very comfortable. I couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you to Laura and Tim for taking such good care of Irvie and also of our home. We were kept updated and assured that Irvie was settled and happy back at home, which really put our mind at ease. Irvie loved his walks and cuddles and looks forward to us going away again so that he can see Laura and Tim again 😀

So I have all the time in the world. ‘One offs’ or scheduled care are both welcome. I don’t require too much notice, just drop me a message and we’ll go from there! I am happy to do visits, toilet breaks, walking and overnight or day sittings!

About: I used to teach dog training classes on obedience, agility, and tricks! I am an Oxford master’s student who is missing her dogs back in the USA and has lots of experience in pet-sitting. While I usually pet-sit dogs, I also have pet-sit for rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, chickens, goats, llamas, and cats. My grandma is a rabbit breeder for Flemish Giants, and I have extensive knowledge with rabbits and guinea pigs. I am also good with senior dogs and puppies and have lots of experience training and caring for them. I used to show my dogs in obedience and agility since I was 9 years old, so I have grown up always in dog training communities! I love training with positive reinforcement. My dogs are still with my parents in the US, but I still organize all the vet contacts, care instructions, and medication ordering for my senior dog. I also used to volunteer teaching classes for kids on how to care for their dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs, including healthy living for their pets, first aid, and grooming. I am a Master's student, so I have lots of flexibility in my routine around classes. Pet care will be a bright part of my day, and I will be excited to care for your pets like I hope someone would care for my own back in the USA. In my past experience in pet-sitting, I always want to put the dog's and owner's needs first. As a previous dog trainer, I am good at reading if animals are uncomfortable with a new stranger and will take any interactions slow and respectfully to build a bond with your pet. I also want to check with you to see if your animal has any special needs, for instance, my old dog back in the UK has some complex senior care routines.

About: There has never been a time in my life when I haven't had a pet! Over the course of my childhood and adulthood my family have owned and cared for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits. So I'm neither a 'dog person' nor a 'cat person' - I love both! Nowadays I care for my year old pet cat, and also look after friends' and relatives' cats and dogs whilst they are on holiday or away. A year ago, my partner and I adopted our cat, Kintaro. As such, I am able to care for pets in their own homes and to walk dogs, but am sadly unable to care for pets in my own home. Fortunately, however, I am a PhD student and am able to work on my laptop wherever I happen to be; my partner works from home and is able to care for our cat if I am out. As such, I am often available to care for others' pets! I am able to care for pets in their own home, and am also available to dog walk. (When in a pet's home, I am caring - but not pushy. This means that I will make fast friends with confident pets, but know to give shyer animals their own space. I also follow recommended guidelines on feeding quantities, give pets plenty of opportunities to go to the loo outside (under supervision), and take dogs on walk twice a day (or more, should they wish it!)

I had to use this app to each out last minute to find a sitter, due to a cancellation, and I couldn’t be more happy. Andreia was great with my dogs, especially consider one of them is a bit of a nervous wreck. Have booked more dates with Andreia and using her as my new sitter. Highly recommend.

About: I have 4 cats at my parents home and my family that I stay with in South Africa have 5 dogs I have lived in these homes up until recently so I’m used to looking after many crazy animals at once! Also, i have done some experience cat sitting and dog sitting for other people for multiple nights. I know how to inject diabetic cats, give specific food to pets and dealing with all ages from pups / kittens to senior animals. Years of experience is hard to define as technically I have 14 years experience of looking after pets but only counting external I have about 3-4 years. I am a full time student and part time online tutor. Both of these are very flexible and don’t take up much time in my week meaning I always have time for your furry friends. The tutoring is online as well so I can work from anywhere meaning even if when you need me coincides with my work I can do both at once, my students absolutely love saying hi to the different pets I look after. I will spend a lot of the time playing or cuddling with your pet or just keeping an eye on them, I will always ask for any risks with the pet e.g. you’ve got a curious cat who likes the jump out of windows I will always make sure the windows are shut (my cats do this all the time). I can easily control dogs on a lead or if necessary crate them.

On returning home after my trip, I came back to a very happy, healthy, well fed Mopsy. As usual Yeru has done a fine job. I feel she may have struggled a little with uni work, and looking after Mopsy, but that is my fault really, as I have her virtually no notice. I think it may have only been four days, but if she hadn’t stepped up, I would have had to cancel my trip, as there’s no one else, I’d be happy to trust with my dog. I’d throughly recommend Yeru, and hope she is available in the summer, when I go on holiday again. 🤞

This is the fourth time Tim & Laura have looked after Irvie at our house. They are a wonderful couple and it is clear that Irvie has the best time with them - lots of fun walks and cuddles. We can really relax when away as have full confidence in Irvie being well looked after and kept safe. Our house is always left so clean & tidy and they were kind enough to to water the plants too - they go above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Devon looked after our 5 month old whippet puppy for 3 nights at our house. We came back to a tidy house and a dog who behaved better than when we left him! Devon knows so much about dog behaviour and seemed happy to do some extra training while we were away. Our dog was very happy and has continued to be well behaved. Devon is a confident, respectful and trustworthy, and I’d very happily ask him to dog sit again.

Sarah was wonderful looking after my big greyhound, Blossom, for the week. Blossom is very dog and cat reactive and has a few quirks, so it was important for me to find someone who'd be patient and who has experience with bigger dogs. As soon as I met Sarah, she put my mind at ease. Sarah is such a warm person and clearly loves animals. She sent me regular photos, videos, and daily summaries whilst she looked after Blossom, which was lovely and they clearly had a fab time. I'll definitely be booking Sarah again x

Nicola was super responsive to all of my Rover messages and promptly arranged a meet and greet so she could meet us ahead of the booking and understand Blossoms needs. She arrived on time for both the meet and greet and the booking, did a great job taking care of Blossom, and left my house in perfect condition. She also provided regular updates. Will definitely use again in the future!

Andreia has just spent 2 days house sitting for my elderly cat she was constantly sending me up dates and pictures to reassure me and promptly messaged me back when I sent her a text message , Andreia was very helpful in bringing in my parcels and left our house clean and she was respectful I’m very pleased with the care she gave to my cat and will contact Andreia again if I need her to look after my pets , the only improvement I would suggest is that I booked a start time for 10 .30 am and the night before I was in a bit of a panic as Andreia changed the time and we were due to go on holiday however Andreia did arrive at the changed time very promptly and was excellent all throughout her looking after my cat Thankyou Andreia.

FAQs for House Sitting - Nottingham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Nottingham on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,143 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nottingham. 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.
