About: I always wanted dogs growing up, and have often cared for friends’ pets when needed, and when I moved to Whiston I finally got the chance to have one full time - my ex-partner’s family dog needed to move, and we took him in. As we’re no longer together I don’t have him any more, and I would love to be able to give the care and attention to pets who need a home from home. I’m comfortable administering mediation (the dog mentioned took 4 different tablets, twice a day) and promise to always provide them with as many walks, playtime and treats as they want (treats within moderation obviously)! My work is hybrid so I’m able to be at home a lot, and I would never commit to taking in a pet if there was a chance I couldn’t be at home with them all the time. When working from home I can be flexible to ensure I can match your pets normal routine as closely as possible. They’ll also provide me with the perfect distraction to procrastinate! Although the back garden is unfenced, I would never leave your pet there unsupervised. I do have a fenced and gated front driveway. I would stick to your usual routine as closely as possible - pets are allowed wherever they are comfiest in my house, so they’d have full and complete roam of the house to make sure they found their most comfy spot! I’ll send photos and updates every day to let you know how they’re doing and what we’ve been up to for your peace of mind!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child and I’ve always had a passion for pets. I’ve rescued numerous animals in and around my neighbourhood, including two baby squirrels, and cared for and reunited them with their owners. I am happy to care for cats and dogs with different needs and will try my best to accommodate. I currently work part-time and have a young child. However, I love animals and will accommodate as much as I can to ensure that they’re in safe, loving hands. I offer care in pet owners home and will always ensure that the owners rules are followed. In my own home we have baby gates, doors and a large fenced garden to ensure the safety of your animal.

Michelle has been an absolute star from start to finish. Her communication from the outset has been second to none. I was let down last minute by a sitter and Michelle stepped in last minute to look after my two Frenchies. Despite the sit being arranged last minute, Michelle still arranged a pre-sit visit to meet me and the dogs, have a bit of time to allow me to show her around and familiarise her with the dogs routine and feeding schedule. On the day of the sit Michelle was punctual and arrived exactly at the pre-arranged time which meant I could get on the road promptly too. Over the weekend I got regular updates and pics and videos of my dogs I came home to to happy, well exercised and tired dogs. Michelle left the house neat tidy and even put bedding onto wash. I would definitely use Michelle in the future to sit for my dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, helpful and professional sitter.

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with three dogs and now have a cat, so I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and sticking to their usual routine. I work from home, so I'm flexible and reliable. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, or medication, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. I work from home full-time, so I'm really flexible when it comes to drop-in visits. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends, and fitting visits into my day is no problem. I’ll make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you’re away and keep to their normal routine as much as possible. That means feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, dog walks, and some playtime or cuddles depending on what they like. Every pet is different, so I always follow your instructions and take my time with them so they feel relaxed and safe. I’m also happy just to sit with them for company if that’s what they prefer.

Viktoria was fantastic! She helped us out at short notice, which we really appreciated. She was communicative, clear, affectionate and caring with our dogs, sent lots of pictures and let us know how things were going unprompted while we were away. She left our house in great condition and our dogs were very happy. Our rescue pup can be a bit slow to warm up but clearly liked Viktoria and was happy to be close to her, which we found reassuring too. We’d happily have Viktoria back again and highly recommend her to look after your fur babies!

About: I have a pet dog who we raised back home in the south who I raised since he was 6 weeks. We trained him to do above average levels of commands until his illness took root and we had to reduce the exercise he had. But always able to provide fun and friendly care for animals! I’m currently not working so I’m available all day and weekends of daycare, boarding or pet sitting. I’m an outdoorsy person and couple so walks will always be common with any services. I have a ground floor pet friendly apartment with a riverside greenery area just outside common with city suburbs dog walkers for socialising, walks and playtime

About: DBS checked & full clean driving license!
Growing up with German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors, I’ve spent my life understanding the needs of larger breeds. Having recently moved from Ireland to the UK, I’m currently without a dog of my own, so I am eager to provide high-quality care and companionship to yours! My experience is extensive, including raising two rescue dogs and sitting for various breeds, from high-energy Collies to powerful Rottweilers. I am very comfortable with nervous temperaments and am fully capable of following strict medical routines if required.
Alongside doggies, I have extensive experience with cats & smaller animals too ~ no spiders though, sorry🙈
Daily Routine & Exercise
Currently, I work full time, but it won't stop me working my schedule around your needs! Happy to commute from your house if you need me for sits, very flexible overall despite my job commitments.
Afternoons / evenings, mornings I will be free too. I can provide a structured day with at 60-120 minute walks, or longer!, tailored to your dog’s fitness level—whether that’s a local stroll or a longer hike. I love getting out into woods & parks.
If you are looking for house sits, I am happy to change my schedule and commute to work from your home. Whatever works for you I'm sure I can accommodate your needs.
Home Environment & Safety
I have a shy indoor cat, so currently not taking home boardings. I am a car owner with a clean license, so I am always prepared for emergencies or urgent vet visits. Safety is my top priority; I stick to leash-only walks in public (off lead experienced too, if your pet prefers) and I can help with training too if needed.
Trust & Communication
I am "always on my phone" and love taking photos, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the day. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your best friend is having a great time!

About: I am a 23-year-old nurse and my partner is a doctor. We both love animals and would love the company of a furry friend while we save up for our own. I have taken care of my neighbours dogs when I was younger and have had cats my whole life. I will be as attentive as possible whilst caring for your pet. I currently work 9-5 on weekdays but am free all weekends and evenings. I have a car if there is ever an emergency and can work from home if needed. I have a fenced balcony in a flat but live in a very safe area near parks. Our home is very open and will be tailored to the need of the pet.

About: I have years of experience with a range of dog breeds and different ages. For example, I spent a few years helping to look after 2 elderly Jack Russel dogs, have boarded many different dog breeds, and did weekly dog sitting for two elderly large mix breed dogs. I also have my own dog which was rescued from the streets of Ethiopia! I’m currently a student going into my third year of an animal sciences degree! Because I’m a student I have a lot of flexibility and will always fit around your schedule and prioritise your needs. I have a quiet child and smoke-free home which has housed cats in the past. My only pets are a tortoise and a hamster who are both kept in safe parts of the house. I have a fenced in garden and plenty of quiet and cosy areas for cats to get some alone time! If you would like me to cat sit in your own home then I am more than happy to spend some time making sure your pet gets all the attention they deserve during my visit!

Alex looked after our two dogs for the first time, and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. We left home feeling completely confident that they were in safe and capable hands. Alex is enthusiastic, trustworthy, and immediately puts you at ease. He kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care.

About: I love all animals but dogs in particular, they make me happy and they are always glad to see you when you walk through the door. I offer a house and dog sitting service where I will, along with my husband Colin and dog Alfie, stay in your home with your dog or dogs (maximum of 2) and look after they as if they were my own. They will get to stay in their own familiar surroundings where they will be loved and cared for as if they were our own. They will get at least 2 walks per day and lots of playtime with either ourselves or Alfie who loves to run and play with other dogs. For your peace of mind we will meet you beforehand so you can get to know us a little bit better and you can ask any questions you might have. We are experienced in particular of looking after more senior dogs and realise they don't need as much exercise as they once did but we will try to keep them occupied with treat puzzles or a nice brush and lots of cuddles. We are able to administer any medications your furbaby might need also I have a canine first aid certificate and we are both DBS checked. We have looked after lots of different breeds over the years including our own dogs and dogs through home boarding. Your dog will have all of our time as this is our main profession, they will have all our attention unless we have to go out while we stay with them. We will of course keep your pet safe by keeping them on their lead at all times unless they are allowed off by your consent.

About: Although I don’t have formal professional experience, I’ve spent my entire life caring for and being around dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviours. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to family and friends - always giving them the same love and attention I would my own. 💞 Pet care is woven into my everyday life. I have the time and flexibility to give animals the attention they need - whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I enjoy making their wellbeing a priority, from daily routines to extra cuddles and care whenever needed. I love filling my camera roll with furry friends, so I’ll be sure to keep you updated throughout the day with plenty of photos of how your pet is getting on! I also genuinely enjoy cleaning, so I’m happy to offer a general tidy of your home at no extra cost - meaning you can return to a fresh, clean space after your time away. 🫧

About: I’ve had cats for most of my life, and although I sadly lost them, I’d love the chance to give that love and care to other people’s pets. 🐾 I’m a big animal lover and enjoy spending time with cats, dogs and all kinds of pets. I’m available for dog walking, cat sitting and pet visits in the evenings and at weekends. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, safe and cared for. 😊 I work a 9-5 job but I work from home Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays so free evenings and weekends or as early as 4 o clock :) I offer dog walking, cat and dog sitting in your home, and can also look after pets in my own home where suitable. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone new, so I’ll always take the time to get to know their routine, personality and little quirks 🐶🐱 When caring for pets in your home, I’ll keep things as familiar as possible for them — making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime and cuddles, and feel happy and comfortable while you’re away 💕 If they’re staying in my home, I’ll provide a safe and calm environment where they’ll get lots of care, attention and love 🏡🐾 I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your pet’s needs come first. I’m available for walks and visits in the evenings and at weekends 🌿 I don’t offer overnight stays, but I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love and care whenever I’m looking after them ❤️ I live in a house with my partner :)

About: I’ve grown up with animals and currently have one dog and three cats, so caring for pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m used to the little messes, the different personalities, and the routines that come with them, and I genuinely enjoy it. Being around animals feels natural to me, and I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling whatever comes up. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ve recently graduated from university and am currently based at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most of the week and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets, whether that’s regular check-ins, longer stays, or last-minute needs. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very happy to care for them in the place they feel safest in your home. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their usual environment and routine, especially when their owners are away. I can stay in your home to provide consistent care and companionship, or carry out regular check-ins to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and doing well. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with respect, and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy rather than just a job. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, a long adventure, or exploring new routes, I’m happiest with a four-legged friend by my side! 🌿🐕 I’m an active, caring, and reliable person who will always match the pace, personality, and energy of the dog I’m with—whether they’re full of zoomies or prefer taking life one sniff at a time. A little about my experience 🦴 I’ve had dogs for over 10 years and have regularly cared for the pets of family and friends, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and routines. I also have a Labrador of my own, so I know all about the energetic, slightly chaotic “crazy dog” moments! Whether your dog loves to run, play fetch, swim, or simply curl up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout our time together. Every dog is unique, so I’ll always take the time to get to know their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. ❤️ I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages 📸 so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m able to offer flexible availability Monday- Wednesday. I am happy to provide morning, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits where possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and provide a calm and caring environment while you’re away.

Megan looked after our border collie for 2 weeks in our home while we were on holiday. He is quite an anxious chap so we wanted someone experienced so we could relax and not worry about him. Megan was that person! She was brilliant from start to finish, took time to meet him and walk him with us before the sit. She kept in daily contact with us with updates and photos of their adventures together. She even did some training with him which was great! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone, and will definitely be using her services should I need to in the future . Thank you Megan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rotherham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Rotherham on Rover is £46.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rotherham. 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 Rotherham 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 Rotherham 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.
