About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.

“Tshireletso looked after my cocker spaniel in challenging circumstances in a heatwave with noisy disruptive building work at a property next door. She remained calm and caring, walking Molly early mornings or late in the evening, She looked after my dog with exceptional care, was tidy and respected my home. I would not hesitate to recommend her to look after your pet.”

About: I grew up around dogs so they have always been a large part of my life. Along with my own, I often care for friends+family’s pets. I have experience with dogs of all ages - towards the end of his life, my senior dog was unable to use his back legs so he required special care and attention. Due to this, he also became incontinent so I am especially skilled with senior care. However, I am currently the owner of a pug puppy and so, I am perfectly capable of keeping up with the demands of an active puppy as well! As I am currently available all the time, he has my undivided attention, as will your dog also! I am available all the time which means constant love and care for your dog and plenty of playtime! I can also provide walks as often as needed. I have a large fenced garden which is perfect for playtime! I also have a friendly pug puppy who loves to play with other dogs and will be more than happy to share his toys & treats! There is plenty of space for your dog to run around, and also relax when it’s time to wind down. I have an aircon unit in my living room which has been very helpful in cooling the house down, especially during the high temperatures we’ve been having. I can also accommodate to any specific needs!

“Bethany is a lovely, warm and thoughtful person and my dogs think she's wonderful. Very reliable, punctual and friendly, and responds quickly to messages. She initially came round to meet the dogs and see the house and we went for a walk so that she could see how I handled them when out and about. She was very interested in hearing all about their needs and asked all the right questions. Communication throughout Bethany's stay with the dogs was brilliant, with daily updates to let me know how they were doing (basically totally happy!). The house was immaculate when we returned and the dogs were very relaxed and chilled. I think they had a wonderful time! I can't recommend Bethany highly enough and we feel very lucky to have found her.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who had no one. I have hands-on experience caring for 9–12 dogs daily, including feeding, walking, playing and providing basic medical care. In India, I was responsible for looking after stray dogs—ensuring they were safe, healthy, and never hungry. This taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different dog behaviours, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve handled: Daily walks and exercise routines Feeding schedules and hygiene care Basic medication and health monitoring Dogs with different temperaments and needs I truly love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Now based in UK, I’m excited to give the same level of care and dedication to your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate: Morning, afternoon, and evening walks Last-minute bookings Regular daily walks or long-term care I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can tell my own experience- Before relocating to the UK, I ensured that all the dogs I cared for were responsibly handed over to local authorities so they would continue receiving proper food, medical care, and protection. I take long-term responsibility seriously and always put the well-being of animals first.

About: I have had cats since I was 5 years old and dogs for 3 years. I have handled everything from feeding and cleaning to birth and feeding newborns every two hours. I even have experience nursing a cat with congenital heart failure. I have a trained Afghan hound who can be off leash, so I am no stranger to stubborn active “untrainable” dogs. I am currently free with no commitments and so if needed can take on same day booking for walking and check ins. I will always update my availability. I will always follow the instructions and requirements given by owners. I understand the level of trust placed by owners to anyone they entrust the care of their beloved pet or their home environment and therefore understand that communication is vital. I will always give a report about the walk / check in and will update owners on any injury or out of the ordinary behaviour. My vast experience permits me to recognise canine and feline body language paying attention to the small details.

Gemesia has been a fantastic cat sitter from the very beginning. She came to meet us and Loki beforehand, let Loki set the pace, and asked lots of thoughtful questions about his habits and routine. Over the weekend we were away, she kept us well informed with videos both morning and evening, letting us know exactly what Loki was up to and how he was doing. Gemesia made the whole process easy and reassuring, at a time when leaving your pet can be really anxiety provoking. We've already booked her again for our next trip away - highly recommend!

Rosie looked after Storm & Rainbow with love & care, she communicated well & kept in touch with updates throughout her stay. Rosie is very accommodating & friendly. I would happily recommend her to others & I'm sure both Storm & Rainbow, along with me, would be happy with being looked after by Rosie again in the future. Thank you Rosie for caring for my dogs like they were your own!

This was our first time using Rover. We were very impressed with Samara. She went above and beyond to visit before the stay, taking care to find out about Barley. Her love of animals was obvious and we felt we left our dog in great hands. We will definitely be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting – Oadby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Oadby on Rover is £35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £29 and £58 per night.

sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,612 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Oadby . About 84% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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 Oadby 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 Oadby , the price of house sitting can vary between £29 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 Oadby 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.
