“Kim is a friendly and kind person! It was easy to communicate with her right from the start. She is punctual and was an excellent carer for Zeeno. She followed all the instructions we left for her regarding Zeeno. Eric, her husband, was excellent in supporting her and we asked him to stay also and help with Zeeno's care when he was available. Zeeno was very happy and enjoyed the love, care, walks and cuddles very much! I want to recommend them highly and will be very happy to book again when needed! Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!”
“We have just used Hannah for a second time and were delighted once again. She looked after our cat at our home. She sent us lots of pictures and we could rest assured that both our furry friend and our house were fabulously well looked after :)”
“It was a pleasure to have Cara looking after Zeeno and Loki! They were very happy when we got home and communication with Care was easy . Thanks Cara for your help and we would love to use you again if needed!”
“It was my first time leaving Saylee(my cat) alone so I was understandably nervous especially as she’s very shy/cautious around people and don’t” trust” easily. However I had anything to worry about.Evie came to meet Saylee a few days before I left on holiday and she took to Evie immediately. Evie provided constant feedback and photos of Saylee whilst I was away which really eased my mind. I came back to a very well fed,well looked after and happy little cat. I will 100% use Evie again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾
“Rebekah was really quick in responding to my request which was helpful. She arrived on time and followed all instructions for Mimi's food and care which I appreciated. Mimi my cat adjusted well to Rebekah and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She also left the apartment clean and tidy and was in general an easy going sitter.”
“We needed a dog sitter at short notice and were so lucky that Ellie was available. Kind, calm and caring, she looked after our very lively 5 month old puppy who certainly kept her busy! She took the time to come over and meet us before we booked and kept us informed throughout the time she was with him. We came home to a very settled, content and happy puppy. We will definitely be booking with Ellie again!”
“Aitana looked after our cockapoo and romainian rescue for 4 days. She was an excellent dog sitter and she managed to charm our reactive dogs, which is nt easy as they can be a handful. The house was spotless when we returned and Aitana was friendly and kept us updated with photos..I would 100% recommend Aitana.”
“Even though I had to come time earlier due to personal reasons, Isla had done really well! Family enjoyed her being around and Manson settled and listened to Isla straight away!! I’ll definitely be hiring Isla again for a full sitting”
About: Hi, I'm Lorna-Rose! I've always loved dogs and being around them. Unfortunately, I can't have one of my own at the moment because I still live with my parents, so dog walking and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with them while helping other owners. I work from home, which means I can provide your dog with plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day rather than leaving them home alone. Whether they enjoy playing, snoozing beside me while I work, or heading out for walks, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy and loved. I'm a very active person and enjoy getting outdoors every day. I regularly go for walks on my lunch breaks and again after work, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I'm also the go-to dog sitter in my family! I've looked after my brother's two greyhounds for six weeks while he was away on his honeymoon, and I continue to care for them for weeks at a time throughout the year. On top of that, I've looked after several of my cousins' dogs while they've been on holiday, so I'm comfortable caring for different breeds, personalities and routines. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll always take the time to learn their individual needs, whether that's energetic adventures, slower strolls, playtime or simply lots of cuddles. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they're safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide dog sitting throughout the week and weekends. As I work from home, I can offer plenty of company and attention during the day. For dog walking, I’m available on weekdays before 8am, during my lunch break, or in the evenings after work. I’m also available for longer walks and visits at weekends. Your dog’s safety, happiness and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs so I can make their stay as familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow the same schedule and routines they have at home, including any rules around furniture or sleeping arrangements (if they’re allowed in the bed at home, they’re welcome to have cuddles with me!). As I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, my family often jokes they get bombarded with pictures of all the dogs I look after!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have a dog of my own who lives with my parents, and I’ve been taking care of him since I was growing up, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with looking after a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m also comfortable staying in someone’s home and making sure both their dog and home are well looked after while they’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. My days can vary, but I’m able to work my routine around a dog’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I really enjoy having dogs around, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and make sure they get the exercise, care, and companionship they’re used to. My flexible university schedule also means I can be available during the day and adapt to different routines and requirements. 🐶🐾 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m responsible and respectful of both the pet and their home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on pets when they’re outside, and follow their feeding, walking, and medication routines if needed. I also keep their environment clean and tidy. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always do my best to give them the same care and love I would want for my own dog. 🐶❤️
“Declan was kind enough to attend for a meet and greet prior to the booking we made. Communications were exemplary at all times. We organised a face-to-face handover on the day and Declan arrived punctually for this. Bruce was very enthusiastic and seemed to have a nice time with Declan. When we returned to the house after the dog sit everything was in place and in order and Declan had left a report sheet for Bruce with a little Polaroid picture of Bruce in the corner, very cute. Declan’s girlfriend had accompanied him on the House/Dogsit and they also left us some homemade carrot cake in the fridge for our return 😋. Would definitely recommend :)”
“We can’t recommend Emilija highly enough. She has looked after our two dogs, Bailey and Mika, twice while my wife and I were away on holiday, and both times she was absolutely fantastic. She genuinely cares about the dogs, took the time to understand their routines and personalities, and kept us updated with lovely photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, Bailey and Mika were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. It was obvious they had received lots of love, attention, and care. Emilija is kind, trustworthy, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets as if they were her own.”
“We could not be more grateful to Rachel. She was so wonderful with our staffy Ziggy, so respectful to our home and even did some training with Ziggy. Rachel sent lots and lots of updates and photos throughout the stay too and truly made us feel at such ease. I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel to look after your pet ❤️”
“Ruby looked after our two year old cairn terrier really well, Izzi loved her! She left the house nice and clean and it was a pleasure to have her to stay with Izzi when we were away.”
About: Me and my partner, Myles, are lifelong dog lovers and the designated dog sitters for all of our family and friends, now looking to open our home up to more dogs. After losing our senior rescue chihuahua last year, our house feels very empty without the pitter patter of paws following us around! We have many years of experience with a vast array of breeds and ages and I have also previously volunteered at a doggy daycare centre. We really do just love dogs of all sizes, shapes, temperaments and age and we would love to take care of yours! Please send me a message for more info about me or if you have any questions. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and Myles works from home all week. We are free most evenings and weekends and available for long-term boarding We live in a semi detached house which your dog would have free roam of and a secure fenced off yard. We already have many dog beds and blankets for your dog to get comfy in, along with a few sofas and an armchair that they would be welcome to take a snooze on. Your dog will never be left alone in the house, we understand it may take time for some dogs to trust new people and we are experienced and knowledgeable on building up trust safely with new dogs. Your dog will never feel pressured by us, and in turn we hope this means you will trust us with your dogs too!
“Dear Aastha, thank you so much for looking after Kev and staying at our home while we were on holiday in Spain. It was our first time leaving him for a whole week, and we were so nervous. Your calm, warm, and welcoming presence completely put our family at ease. You did an amazing job, and we truly appreciate it. We would love to have you watch Kev again in the future!”
About: My whole life has been revolving around animals. I have owned dogs since I was a baby and I have owned a cat for the last 15 years and have done multiple personal dog and cat sitting/walking throughout the last 5 years. I work full time but I have a flexible work start so can easily fit morning walking/drop in visits into my weekly schedule as well as all my evenings after 4pm. During weekends I am available for long walks as well as drop ins and overnight stays. I have a fenced garden and live 10 mins away from a large park which is perfect for long dog walks. The house has plenty of space for the animals to explore.
About: Hi! I’m Danielle 👋 I’ve been looking after dogs and cats for many years and genuinely love getting to know each pet and their individual personality. I understand that every animal is different, so I’m happy to adapt to their usual routine, energy levels and individual needs to make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. I live an active lifestyle and really enjoy getting outdoors, so dogs who love their walks will have plenty of opportunity to explore! I’m currently located close to a park with lots of great walking routes, whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll and plenty of sniffing or something a little more energetic. For cats and more home-loving pets, I’m equally happy providing a calmer environment with plenty of attention, playtime and company while respecting their space and normal routine. I know how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for your pet. I’ll always aim to provide reliable, attentive and friendly care, treating your dog or cat as I would my own. Come and say hi! 🐶🐱 I’d love to get to know you and your dog or cat and hear all about their personality, routine and favourite things. work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my daily routine. I can adapt my schedule around your cat or dog’s individual needs, including feeding times, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, cuddles and companionship. Being home throughout the day also means I can provide plenty of attention and supervision, while making sure your pet’s usual routine is maintained as closely as possible. For pets staying in my home, I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so they can get to know me and become comfortable with the space before their stay. I’ll tailor their care around their usual routine, personality and individual needs to help them feel as settled and at home as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I like to meet beforehand to get to know both you and your pet and familiarise myself with their routine, feeding, walks, favourite activities and any specific requirements. My aim is to keep things familiar and consistent so your pet feels comfortable, relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.

Would highly recommend Frederick. He helped us out with short notice which we really appreciate and was happy to care for all of Caspers needs. Casper seemed to have a great time and enjoyed a long walk with him. Thank you again for looking after him so kindly.
Emilija was so helpful with our nervous rescue puppy. We wanted him to meet her beforehand and she accommodated the extra meet-ups. She was calm and patient. We were nervous about leaving him for 4 nights and him not wanting strangers to put him on the lead, but he warmed up to her quickly and she had him walking on the first day. She took her time to understand him, kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. We would definitely recommend Emilija and will be happy to leave Huxley with her again. She was respectful of our house and left it as she found it.
Kim took care of our demanding little Cockapoo, Joy, at our home for a full week while we were away on holiday, and she was fantastic! Joy was so happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when we returned. Receiving regular updates throughout the week was super comforting and gave us complete peace of mind. Thank you so much, Kim, we’ll definitely stay in touch for our next holiday!
It was my first time leaving Saylee(my cat) alone so I was understandably nervous especially as she’s very shy/cautious around people and don’t” trust” easily. However I had anything to worry about.Evie came to meet Saylee a few days before I left on holiday and she took to Evie immediately. Evie provided constant feedback and photos of Saylee whilst I was away which really eased my mind. I came back to a very well fed,well looked after and happy little cat. I will 100% use Evie again.
Sarah was wonderful looking after my big greyhound, Blossom, for the week. Blossom is very dog and cat reactive and has a few quirks, so it was important for me to find someone who'd be patient and who has experience with bigger dogs. As soon as I met Sarah, she put my mind at ease. Sarah is such a warm person and clearly loves animals. She sent me regular photos, videos, and daily summaries whilst she looked after Blossom, which was lovely and they clearly had a fab time. I'll definitely be booking Sarah again x
Rebekah was really quick in responding to my request which was helpful. She arrived on time and followed all instructions for Mimi's food and care which I appreciated. Mimi my cat adjusted well to Rebekah and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She also left the apartment clean and tidy and was in general an easy going sitter.
Andreia has just spent 2 days house sitting for my elderly cat she was constantly sending me up dates and pictures to reassure me and promptly messaged me back when I sent her a text message , Andreia was very helpful in bringing in my parcels and left our house clean and she was respectful I’m very pleased with the care she gave to my cat and will contact Andreia again if I need her to look after my pets , the only improvement I would suggest is that I booked a start time for 10 .30 am and the night before I was in a bit of a panic as Andreia changed the time and we were due to go on holiday however Andreia did arrive at the changed time very promptly and was excellent all throughout her looking after my cat Thankyou Andreia. Very happy 😊😀
I am so glad Olaya agreed to take care of my cat Mimi for 4 days. Olaya is excellent with cats, and has really good and calm energy - Mimi opened up to her in minutes. Olaya took the time to engage with Mimi with toys and ensured no disruption to her routine. Olaya is also highly responsible, and she paid a lot of attention to detail, and I felt extremely assured about leaving Mimi in her care. All the information regarding Mimi’s routines as well as the apartment were handled with care and honesty which I really appreciate. Communication was excellent where I received many updates on Mimi. Olaya left my apartment extremely tidy! I am really thankful to Olaya and I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for an extremely responsible and caring sitter.
If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would! Jessie was so professional, went well above and beyond what I would have hoped for, and took such good care of my animals and my house. I feel really lucky I was able to find her on this app. Thank you so much, Jessie! 10/10 would absolutely book again!
Hanna was a wonderful sitter for a whole week and looked after our very shy and nervous greyhound, Genie. She was very patient and managed to win his trust over time. Very good at keeping us informed on daily events and pictures of stand out moments. Hanna left the house immaculately clean. Highly recommended as a dog sitter.
We booked another weekend with Shanaya after her first time looking after Merlin went so well - again, absolutely no faults, she was the perfect carer and companion for our little pup. He absolutely adores her! We are very much hoping to use Shanayas services again in the future ☺️☺️
Abby is a sweet young lady! she arrive early so we could provide instructions & care for our girls. Our two small dogs took to her immediately as she meet them with attention & love. We were visiting Nottingham and wanted time to visit the town without the girls. Abby provided love & care! I would highly recommend Abby to care for your animals. 💕
My dog, Blossom, had a wonderful time with Dori! Dori came over for a meet and greet ahead of the booking and was absolutely lovely. For the 2 days that Dori stayed with Blossom, I received regular updates, photos, videos, and my house was left in a perfect condition. Highly recommend booking with Dori!
Natasha sat for Dexter staying in our house for 1week. Natasha was very attentive giving Dexter lots of attention and plenty of walks and fun activities. Natasha kept us updated sending pictures and messages throughout the week. We returned to a happy Dexter and a very clean and tidy house. Thanks Natasha for a great sit. Would highly recommend Natasha

FAQs for House Sitting – Rushcliffe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rushcliffe on Rover is £29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £26 and £52 per night.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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 Rushcliffe 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 Rushcliffe, the price of house sitting can vary between £26 and £52 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 Rushcliffe 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.
