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!

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. 🤞

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

We can’t recommend Emilija highly enough. She has looked after our two dogs, Bailey and Mika, twice while my wife and I were away on holiday, and both times she was absolutely fantastic. She genuinely cares about the dogs, took the time to understand their routines and personalities, and kept us updated with lovely photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, Bailey and Mika were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. It was obvious they had received lots of love, attention, and care. Emilija is kind, trustworthy, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets as if they were her own.

Tim and Laura are wonderful sitters. We have just enjoyed our first week long holiday without Irvie and were able to completely relax and enjoy it thanks to the wonderful care he received. Irvie clearly enjoyed his week while we were away and was taken on his favourite walks, with regular updates shared with us. The house was just as well looked after. This was our second time using Laura and Tim and I could not recommend them highly enough.

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've grown up with dogs all my life, I've never had a year go by without them! I've had experience with elderly dogs I've volunteered walking rescue dogs for 3+ years, and helped out with walking and watching elderly people's dogs and house sat with cats. I've just recently graduated from university and am currently looking for a work-from-home job in the comics industry, I am fully at home and present and will be able to give your beloved family members the attention they deserve! I have a fenced garden and no pets living here, although there is a dog in the family who visits, upon request. I can separate your pets if they need space as our house is nice and big, there's plenty of room for them to stretch their legs, and a park in close proximity.

About: Hi, I'm Lorna-Rose! I've always loved dogs and being around them. Unfortunately, I can't have one of my own at the moment because I still live with my parents, so dog walking and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with them while helping other owners. I work from home, which means I can provide your dog with plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day rather than leaving them home alone. Whether they enjoy playing, snoozing beside me while I work, or heading out for walks, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy and loved. I'm a very active person and enjoy getting outdoors every day. I regularly go for walks on my lunch breaks and again after work, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I'm also the go-to dog sitter in my family! I've looked after my brother's two greyhounds for six weeks while he was away on his honeymoon, and I continue to care for them for weeks at a time throughout the year. On top of that, I've looked after several of my cousins' dogs while they've been on holiday, so I'm comfortable caring for different breeds, personalities and routines. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll always take the time to learn their individual needs, whether that's energetic adventures, slower strolls, playtime or simply lots of cuddles. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they're safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide dog sitting throughout the week and weekends. As I work from home, I can offer plenty of company and attention during the day. For dog walking, I’m available on weekdays before 8am, during my lunch break, or in the evenings after work. I’m also available for longer walks and visits at weekends. Your dog’s safety, happiness and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs so I can make their stay as familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow the same schedule and routines they have at home, including any rules around furniture or sleeping arrangements (if they’re allowed in the bed at home, they’re welcome to have cuddles with me!). As I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, my family often jokes they get bombarded with pictures of all the dogs I look after!

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. 🐶❤️

About: Me and my partner, Myles, are lifelong dog lovers and the designated dog sitters for all of our family and friends, now looking to open our home up to more dogs. After losing our senior rescue chihuahua last year, our house feels very empty without the pitter patter of paws following us around! We have many years of experience with a vast array of breeds and ages and I have also previously volunteered at a doggy daycare centre. We really do just love dogs of all sizes, shapes, temperaments and age and we would love to take care of yours! Please send me a message for more info about me or if you have any questions. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and Myles works from home all week. We are free most evenings and weekends and available for long-term boarding We live in a semi detached house which your dog would have free roam of and a secure fenced off yard. We already have many dog beds and blankets for your dog to get comfy in, along with a few sofas and an armchair that they would be welcome to take a snooze on. Your dog will never be left alone in the house, we understand it may take time for some dogs to trust new people and we are experienced and knowledgeable on building up trust safely with new dogs. Your dog will never feel pressured by us, and in turn we hope this means you will trust us with your dogs too!

Adrienne has been looking after our dog Daisy at our house on a regular basis for the last 3 months, we have been very lucky to find her as a sitter and Daisy has loved spending time with her. Adrienne is super friendly, flexible, polite and punctual and we'd highly recommend her. We know that our house and Daisy are in safe hands while we're at work and we always come home to a very happy dog. You can tell that Adrienne is a proper dog lover and that she genuinely enjoys caring for dogs- we are very grateful for her time spent with Daisy!

It was my first time leaving Saylee(my cat) alone so I was understandably nervous especially as she’s very shy/cautious around people and don’t” trust” easily. However I had anything to worry about.Evie came to meet Saylee a few days before I left on holiday and she took to Evie immediately. Evie provided constant feedback and photos of Saylee whilst I was away which really eased my mind. I came back to a very well fed,well looked after and happy little cat. I will 100% use Evie again.

We booked Yeru for the second time to look after our dog Matilda, and once again we were very happy. Matilda is naturally quite shy and takes time to trust people, so it means a lot to us that she feels comfortable and happy staying with Yeru and seems to accept her as part of the family. Yeru sends us lots of lovely photos every day, which is so reassuring when we are away. We always come home to a happy Matilda and a clean and tidy house. We feel completely at ease knowing Matilda and our home are in such good hands. We would happily book Yeru again and definitely recommend her!

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.
