“My little Daphne is obsessed with Hayley. Her little tail wags as soon as she sees her Hayley knows so much about animals and really takes care of Daphne We are hoping this becomes a regular thing”
“Paul house sat and cared for our golden retriever for a week and we can't recommend him highly enough. He bonded with Willow immediately and she clearly had a great time whilst we were away to the extent that she hardly welcomed us on our return! All communications with him were excellent and he sent us daily pictures and videos so we could see what fun she was having! Paul clearly loves dogs and his calm manner was exactly what Willow needed. He also left the house spotlessly clean and tidy. We've definitely found Willow's new best friend and have already booked him for future trips.”
“Dariia is a lovely pet and house sitter who went above and beyond to care for our animals and home. All the pets were so happy and content when we arrived home after being away for the weekend. It was easy to see they had been very well looked after! And our home was left spotless… she even watered the garden which was such a thoughtful thing to do. Definitely recommend and would happily book again. 🩵☺️”
About: Wherever I am, there’s usually a dog in my company. Preferably, several. They make life better! Adopting dogs has made my life better by allowing me to fully appreciate the joy of canine company. I’ve been a dog parent for over nine years, during which time I’ve looked after other lots of dogs - from dachshunds to jack russells, cockapoos and corgis. My own dogs are well socialised, and dog sitting is a good way to have fun getting to know new breeds and personalities! I’m a writer and illustrator, which gives me the flexibility to welcome dogs into my home and take lunchtime walks and breaks according to what the dogs need. My boyfriend Richard also works at home around twice per week. We live within walking distance of Thompson’s and Bute parks in Cardiff, as well as Leckwith and Sanitorium Park so any dog guests in my care will be taken on trips to some of these, as well as beach visits if they're staying for longer. Dinas Powys woods is another favourite walking spot during Spring and Summer. My phone camera is full of dog photography, I'll be happy to try to get some good snaps of your dog too. They’ll be welcomed as part of the family during their stay, and looked after with the same high level of care, attention, exercise and hugs as if they were my own. My day job allows me the time and flexibility for breaks and play, plus I'm happy to fit longer walks into my evenings depending on your dog’s needs. I have a walled garden which is completely secure for small to medium dogs. My dogs plus any guests tend to sleep in my home office during the day, and the living room during the evening. I am used to ensuring my own dogs are safe and secure, with harnesses, leads, and collars that carry their information.

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 .

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 Powys 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 Powys 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.
