“We had a couple of settling in sessions with Raf before our holiday and they were very punctual and keen to learn all about our dogs' preferences. Whilst our pup was originally a bit wary, Raf soon had him rolling on his back in no time and he soon became very protective of them. Before the holiday, Raf asked questions thay would enable them to care for the dogs as best as they were able which gave us great confidence. Raf let us know as soon as they arrived and sent regular updates whilst away. They soon became a part of our community and recognised by neighbours/postman etc! Raf left the house and dogs both clean and happy and we would love to have them back in future.”
“From the moment I met Megan at 'Meet and Greet', I felt completely comfortable entrusting my hound and my home with her. Megan is bubbly and personable and 'Finley' took to her instantly. Communication both before and during my trip was excellent and I loved my daily 'pupdates' feeling reassured that my lad was clearly having a fantastic time without the stress of having to leave his home turf. Whippets can be worriers and it's not unusual for Fin to go on a bit of a hunger strike if I'm away, but I was absolutely delighted to find on my return that he'd actually put on a bit of condition! I'd have no hesitation reccommending Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter that has a really genuine connection to and love for animals.”
“Ada was absolutely fab! She came to house sit my dog whilst I was at work, and it went completely smoothly. I was really nervous about leaving my dog, but she was really reassuring, sent me lots of updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was happy and relaxed. I’m really pleased with how it went and have booked again with Ada! Yay my dog has a new friend!”
“Robin was fabulous with us and our pooches. She came to meet with the dogs before our trip she showed our home respect gave us daily updates and most important took care of our dogs. Who seemed to have a lovely time with her. We will definitely use Robin in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Jeffery. I’m a big fan of dogs and enjoy having them around. I’m quite easy-going and like getting to know each dog rather than treating every booking the same. I’ll take the time to find out what your dog is like, what they’re used to and what keeps them happy. Whether that’s a good walk, a bit of playing about, plenty of fuss, or just lying around keeping me company, I’m happy to work around them. I know it can be a bit of a worry leaving your dog with someone you don’t know, so I’ll keep you updated and let you know how they’re getting on. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog properly, follow the instructions you leave me and make sure they have a good time while they’re with me. If you think I’d be a good fit for your dog, feel free to get in touch and we can arrange a meet-up first. My days are flexible, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm home most of the days. I'm happy to work around your dog's usual routine, whether that's early starts, late feeds or set walk times Your dog's safety comes first. Dogs are always on a lead when we're out, and I never let them off in an unsecured area. At home, i have a secure garden and nothing harmful is left within reach. I only take one client's dog at a time and I have no other pets, so your dog gets my full attention. I know where the nearest emergency vet is, and if anything ever seems off I'll message you straight away. I'm always happy to do a meet and greet first so you and your dog can see the setup and make sure it feels right.
About: I have looked after dogs since I was 13 years old; walking, boarding and caring for. These were through my neighbours, friends and other companies. I thoroughly enjoy showing the dogs love and attention where their owners can’t and help the time pass better for them :) I am working 7 month contracts away with a period in between for rest so I have lots of free time out of my contract. There are many lovely parks around to take your fur babies and give them all the energy release they need. My garden is also fully enclosed with no other animals in the house to startle them.
“Lots of people say that they love dogs, but we could tell Zuzanna genuinely does as soon as she met Louie! Zuzanna asked about everything she'd need to look after Louie and was immediately comfortable with him, no shyness or awkwardness, it was like leaving him with a friend. Will definitely book again!”
About: Hi, I’m Chelsea, a lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands on experience across dogs and cats of every size and temperament. At home I have one cat and two german shepherds, one of the GSDs is a cross breed with a golden retriever at the ages of 5 and 9 so I know large and working breeds and have experience in handling and training dogs who are anxious and reactive, I will understand their energy, their training needs, and how to keep them settled and happy. I’m confident with big dogs, nervous dogs and anything in between. I’m also happy to take cats for walks who are trained in this. I have experience with giving animals medication including my own cat when I rescued her, and my dogs after operations and injuries. Beyond my own, I’ve fostered and rescued cats, including supporting one through labour and the birth of her litter. I’ve also I’ve also sat for a wide range of dogs and cats over the years, from shy rescues to boisterous puppies, and I adapt my approach to whatever each pet needs to feel comfortable. Whether your pet needs an experienced hand with a reactive breed, gentle care for a senior dog, or just a sitter who won’t bat an eye at the unexpected, I’d love to help. Your pet’s wellbeing and comfort always come first. I’m a musician so my schedule is flexible and non-traditional, often free during standard working hours when others are at their 9-5. My availability is high thanks to working from home between gigs, so I can offer regular check-ins, walks, or extended visits without a rigid clock-in/clock-out routine. I care for pets as if they were my own. At home I have two German Shepherds (5 and 9) and a cat, so I understand multi-pet households and how to keep everyone settled. I’m experienced with medication and post-op care, so I’m comfortable managing any health needs during visits. I keep routines consistent, watch closely for signs of stress and can adapt to whatever makes each pet feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Honestly can totally recommend Isaac and Amy to look after anyone’s pet. They are amazing. My dog is quite a handful but they were fantastic. My dog had a great time and I didn’t feel at all worried or concerned. Amy and Isaac are so professional and kept me updated with photos and messages. My dog has epilepsy and Isaac asked lots of questions and made sure he was prepared for any eventuality and administering medication. I’ll definitely be booking more trips away if Amy snd Isaac are free to look after my dog. X 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️”
About: While I didn’t grow up with dogs in my house, I’ve spent years dog sitting and looking after friends’ and family’s dogs whenever they go away, including regularly caring for my cousin’s dog. Because I work for myself from home, I’m able to be around throughout the day rather than being out for hours on end, which means plenty of companionship, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime & lots of affection. I know every pet is different, so I’ll always follow your routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and settled. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work for myself from home, so pet care fits naturally around my day rather than being squeezed into a couple of spare hours. I’m around throughout the day to provide company, regular toilet breaks, walks, feeding & playtime and I’m flexible with drop offs and collections where possible. Because I’m self employed, your dog will rarely be left alone and can slot straight into their usual routine. I provide a calm, safe & loving environment where your dog’s wellbeing always comes first. As I work from home, I can supervise them throughout the day, stick to their usual routine & give them plenty of attention. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you’re away.

Its not just your holiday is also your pets holidays. I work around your pets. All animals that in my care, are looked after to the highest of standards.

“Megan was absolutely wonderful. Both before and during the sit Megan was extremely reassuring and thorough. She listened to me and heard exactly what I was explaining about our dogs. My oldest dog is extremely anxious and scared - Megan made him feel comfortable whilst also reassuring me he would be in good hands… and he was. Both our dogs were treated like royalty they were completely spoilt and cared for as if they were the ones having a holiday. It gave me the permission to enjoy my holiday with regular updates and seeing how happy they were meant I didn’t need to think twice about leaving them. I was looking for someone that genuinely cared about dogs and wasn’t just doing this as a way to make money and I am so grateful for Megan. I highly recommend to anyone if you leave your pets with Megan they will be in very good hands!! My dogs now miss Megan more than I think they missed us!! Thanks Megan I can’t wait to book you in for our next sit!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/ponies from a young age.All my friends and family rely on me to care for their fury friends. I love animals so much and I always put their needs first. Having had ponies and dogs from being a baby I have been brought up caring for animals and ensuring their needs are met. I have a flexible working from home job currently so can be on hand to look after your dogs whenever needed. Pet care is part of my daily life and I have 2 loving babies of my own. I have a fenced yard, and 10 acres to keep your pups busy. I treat my own dogs like they are family and they are allowed on the furniture, however if your dog isn’t used to this and is crate trained and sleeps in a bed this is something I can also provide.

What an incredible person to look after our babies. She was just so lovely and sent photos every single day, daily updates and we have come home to the most beautifully cleaned and well looked after home. Will 100% be using Nicola again and i cannot recommend enough.

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 Rossendale 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 Rossendale, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £46 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 Rossendale 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.
