We can’t thank Hannah enough for taking such wonderful care of Odie while we were away. He was looked after incredibly well, and it was so reassuring to receive daily updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind throughout our break away. Hannah also went the extra mile by watering our garden, which we really appreciated. When we returned home, everything was exactly as we had left it, which was another reflection of the care and respect Hannah showed for our home. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with Hannah again for our future holidays. Thank you so much, Hannah!

About: Hello, fellow pet lover! Thank you so much for stopping by my profile. I’m Becky, 37, and I live in Poole (Oakdale) with my partner and our two adored Ragdolls, Cookie and Simba. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. As an experienced and devoted pet sitter — and a cat mum myself — I know just how important it is to find someone trustworthy, gentle, and attentive to care for your pets when you’re away. Whether your furry friend loves cuddles, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I grew up in a loving household that always had animals - dogs and cats so I've had lots of experience :-) Pet sitting is what I do full-time, so your pets get my full attention 💛 I have a completely flexible schedule, meaning I can be around throughout the day for cuddles, feeding, walks, and keeping them company. No rushing off or juggling other commitments—just happy pets and lots of love! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort mean everything to me 💛 I am DBS checked, and I take real pride in creating a calm, safe environment where your pets feel relaxed and cared for. I stick closely to their usual routines, keep your home secure, and always keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Diana is a lovely polite lady who is gentle with my dog Roxy. My dog was comfortable around her the moment they met and she updated me with photos throughout the dog sitting. Diana also seems to be flexible with timings which is important to us. Roxy looks forward to seeing you again soon.

Emilee was fantastic! She replied to my messages really quickly and was able to come to look after my puppy at last minute. She sent me some lovely photos during the day, and updated me how it was going. Highly recommend Emilee! I will definitely be keeping in touch and asking her to look after my dog again.

Roxanna was so wonderful to Baker! Baker is a nervous dog and she made him feel at home and ease. She took him on lots of walks and spent a lot of time with him. I also got a ton of pictures and videos which made it easier being away. Highly recommend Roxanna!!

About: I'm David, currently completing my professional dog trainer certification. I offer patient, structured care for dogs of all ages and temperaments — from energetic pups needing a good walk to older dogs who just want a calm, familiar face. My training background means I'm confident handling leash manners, basic obedience, and dogs who need a bit of extra structure or reassurance while their owners are away. Based in Poole, I treat every dog in my care like my own — with consistency, patience, and genuine attention. Monday to Thursday is when I'm most available for drop-ins. I also work night shifts on weekends, so I can fit in daytime visits before my shift starts on those days too. I keep a consistent schedule so your dog can rely on the same times and pace each visit, and I'm happy to discuss specific timing needs before booking to make sure it works for both of us. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid off-lead situations unless explicitly agreed with you, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and wildlife on every walk. I'm currently completing professional dog trainer certification, which means I'm trained to read canine body language and step in early if a situation looks like it could escalate.

About: I have grown up with dogs, specifically golden retrievers and labradors. However I have looked after small dogs, fluffy dogs, dogs heavier than me(!), dogs with high energy and ones that are perfect therapy dogs 😅🥰 But most importantly I love and care for them all the same way 💕💕 I currently have the summer off from work as I work in a school, so I am home 24/7. I’m very active and love to explore new places🥰🥰 I live in a bottom floor flat with our own entry, with a non-fenced garden. It is not near a main road. I’m happy to crate dogs if needed, or they can be out all day with me ☺️☺️

About: I provide calm, loving, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I had the privilege of owning a beautiful Husky for three years, which gave me hands-on experience with an energetic, intelligent breed that thrives on exercise, routine, and companionship. Since then, I’ve looked after a variety of dogs through house sitting, including a Whippet, a Jack Russell, and, most recently, a wonderful Standard Poodle. I’ve also cared for a lovely cat, so I’m comfortable looking after both dogs and cats and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and keeping to their usual routine, helping them feel safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8am–4pm, with the flexibility to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. This means I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, or daytime walks on those days. Outside of work, I’m happy to provide evening visits, overnight house sitting, and weekend care with a little advance notice. I’m reliable, caring, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether you have a playful pup who loves walks or a cat who enjoys company and cuddles, I’d love to help and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. As I provide care in your home, I’ll always follow your instructions to ensure your pet feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before any booking so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re comfortable with me. If you use a key safe or access code, I’m more than happy to use this, or you can let me know the best way to access your home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply keeping your pet company with plenty of cuddles, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well looked after while you’re away.

Nia was absolutely fantastic sitting out Cavapoochon Maple. Our dog is very nervous around people and rather anxious and Nia knew exactly how best to handle that - by the time we came home only a couple of hours later they had already bonded! Nia kept us updated throughout, arrived perfectly on time and took fantastic care of our dog. Would thoroughly recommend and we’ll be booking her again soon! Thanks from AJ, Megan and Maple

About: I had a dog when I was growing up in Italy during my teenage years for 13 years. After that, I had two cats (who are basically my whole world), but they are currently in Italy with my parents. So I completely understand what it means to go on vacation and not have anyone to look after your little fur babies. And that’s where I come in. I will do my absolute best to make your pets feel at home, loved, cuddled, and give them all the attention and care they need. I work full-time in healthcare, so being responsible, organised and attentive comes naturally to me. Your pet’s wellbeing and your home will always be treated with respect. I am working 42 hours weekly in a nursing home in Branksome, doing 3 long days (7-19) and one half day every week (7-13 or 13-19). I live in a flat really close to the beach. I have no garden, but I’m happy to take your dog for a walk by the beach, run together, have fun and enjoy the sun.

About: Having grown up with dogs, cats and horses. I am a huge animal lover. I have pet sat and dog walked from a very young age. At the age of 16 I trained a disobedient male Labrador called Buddy, the family told me I changed their life. I have a way with animals, I love cuddles, walks and playing. I am always happy to assist with looking after pets other than dogs and cats too. No pet is too much for me and with me, they’ll be guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I usually work away on superyachts but I have come home to take a break and possibly find a change of career. Animals have always been the centre of my world and I am hoping this can go further. I will follow all instructions given to keep your pet as safe as possible! I am also happy for pets to stay upstairs with me if this is what they’re used too or shut downstairs if that’s your preference.

About: Hi, I’m Kaya! I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My background includes working at dog shelters, which has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, behaviours, and individual needs. I offer reliable and attentive house sitting, providing your dog with consistent care in the comfort of their own home. I prioritise keeping their routine as normal as possible, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply companionship, so they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your home and pet in someone else’s care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect. My aim is to ensure your dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home and have flexible weekday availability. I can offer walking slots across lunchtime and afternoon, with some variation day to day, making it easy to fit around different dogs’ routines. At home I provide a calm, structured routine including regular walks, feeding, play, and rest. I make sure my dog has enrichment, companionship, and a safe environment, and I’m attentive to her behaviour, mood, and individual needs.

Tom and his partner were great with communication during the entire sit, they responded fast and gave us lovely photos of our woofs! Our dogs took to them very fast and they loved spending time with Tom and his partner! Especially a dog the size of our Apollo, it was very good to have someone to walk him as it can be harder to manage a dog of his size! Absolutely recommended!!

Can thoroughly recommend. Diana came and looked after my lurcher for a couple of days at our home and this was the first time I have left Benny overnight with a dog sitter. She sent regular updates which really helped put my mind at rest and followed all the instructions I left to the letter. I already have her booked in for a couple more stays - and Benny is looking forward to seeing her again.

This was the third time this year that Hannah has looked after our golden retriever at our house. We went away knowing that he would be well looked after, safe and happy. We could therefore relax and enjoy our holiday. As usual Hannah sent us regular updates on how he was doing which was great. Hannah has a genuine love for dogs and makes sure that Finley has fun whilst we are away. Thanks again Hannah!

Amy was really great and professional from our first contact. We made a last minute request for house sitting our Labrador, Hardy. Amy got back very quickly and came over for a meet and greet. Hardy was completely comfortable with her and she was great with him. Amy's stay with Hardy was great for us, she was prompt and gave regular feed back. Hardy was very content when we got home. We would have no problem with recommending Amy and will certainly ask her to sit for Hardy in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting – Poole

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Poole on Rover is £34.5 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 592 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Poole. 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 Poole 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 Poole 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.
