“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: I am an experienced pet sitter. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and birds. I have grown up around pets and am very comfortable looking after animals of all ages with varying needs My routine is currently simple, I work from home so can spend plenty of time with your animals. I will let you know if this changes or if I have anywhere to be for extended periods during the week Growing up around cats I understand them very well and can give them space where needed or give them cwtches or play depending on their needs
About: Wherever I am, there’s usually a dog in my company. Preferably, several. They make life better! I’ve been a dog parent for over 10 years, during which time I’ve looked after other lots of dogs - from dachshunds to jack russels, 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 mostly working from home, 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 - plus beach visits if they're staying for longer. Dinas Powys woods is another favourite walking spot. 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 affection 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.

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.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Powys, the price of house sitting can vary between £25 and £40 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 Powys 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.

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.
