“Laura did a fantastic job of looking after our dog. She cared about getting the details right and making sure that our pet was happy and well taken care of. She gave us the utmost confidence that we had nothing to worry about, sent photos and updates while we were away, and we found the house just as we had left it. You'd be hard pushed to find a more trustworthy sitter. Thank you Laura!”
“Karen looked after my, sometimes anxious, rescue dog for three nights. I was able to relax knowing that he was safe and happy. Karen sent regular updates which were appreciated and Popsie clearly loved her. I always wouldn’t know that she’d been in the house - it was immaculate. Thanks Karen.”
“Anna was amazing with our three dogs! We were so worried about leaving our boy for the first time whilst we went to get married but Anna was honestly incredible! The updates were so good and the pictures are amazing. Our babies had the best time and we knew they were so looked after! Thank you so so much Anna. We will 100% use you again!”
“Rob was a fantastic house and pet sitter, best I've had in a long while! He was patient and compassionate with my elderly dog, engaging and fun with the younger pair and always had time to give the cats a fuss. He looked after the house as well as the pets and left it clean and tidy. Would definitely use Rob again!!”
“Kylie was amazing with our cats, she looked after both of them really well, tending to their different personalities. very friendly, positive and easy to communicate with, with consistent updates on our cats. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have two dogs of my own so i have lots of experience with caring for dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them etc I’m currently off work for the summer so i have plenty of free time for any dog walking or dog sitting enquiries. Available to go to any location as i also drive I will make sure they always have water and food based on their schedule, as well as playing with them frequently for their stimulation. I will make sure their enclosure is safe and will always have an eye on them for the sneaky escape artists..
About: I've had numerous pets since before I could remember my mum has a habit of taking in strays. From dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes,ferrets,fish, mice and even our 98 year old tortoise. I'm pretty good at training puppies and I can do senior care as we had our rottweiler til she was 14 and I helped out loads. I am very nurturing as I have been a carer for my mum and sister and for my nan as well before she passed. Currently I have a lurcher called Jeff and two kittens Dante and Damien. As well as a tegu called friyja and a snake called neala and of course the 98 yr old tortoise chigley I am a carer for my mum but happy to pet sit as long as I can keep in contact with my mum and make sure she's okay. I have a pretty flexible schedule but would appreciate notice of changes. I will always keep an eye on your pet making sure they have food and water and are let out to go to the bathroom enough and also make sure they have a bit of playtime as well and if you have your pets on walking schedules I will assist with that as well.

Even Chase was happy and normal he is sad when we go away and come back. I would recommend Natalie to everyone. Will be definitely booking her again”
About: Having had dogs all my life I am most content snuggled up on the couch with my fur baby! I used to work away a lot and know how hard it can be to find a stable caring environment to leave your fur baby with. I offer a home from home environment for your beloved pet and guarantee lots of walks and cuddles! My own dog Tilly loves company and would be a great companion during your fur baby’s stay! I provide all the home comforts to ensure your pet doesn’t get too home sick!! I have been looking after dogs all my life and love nothing better than walking down the transpennine way which is situated at the bottom of my road. I offer over night boarding for as short or as long as is needed Monday to Sunday.
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Amber stay in our home to look after our two dogs while we were away. From the very start, she was kind, reliable, and professional, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dogs (and our home) in her care. Amber went above and beyond – keeping us updated, giving our dogs so much love and attention, and making sure everything at home ran smoothly while we were gone. I could tell straight away that our dogs adored her, and it gave us such peace of mind to know they were so well cared for. Coming home, our dogs were happy and relaxed, and the house was spotless – it was like we’d never been away! We would not hesitate to recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated sitter. We feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking her again! ☺️ Thank you Amber! 😁🐾♥️”
About: I look after any dog like it’s my own! Walk love and lots of fun! Happy to look after dogs any age medium breed! That’s playful and happy to be around another active dog. Free to sit most week days and weekends! I work dog walking for we love pets but can work anything around this. I will stay at your accommodation or they can board at my house as long as your dog is okay with other dogs! Happy for them to stay with me within a home environment with no crates. Daily walks and exercise or just chilling at home. I have my own cocker called Lili who is good with other dogs and very playful! I have a secure garden and with lots local walks.
“India was fantastic! She communicated with us brilliantly, from making arrangements to for a meet and greet to sending us multiple daily photos and updates of what Peanut was up to while we were away. We felt our dog and our home was in really safe hands the whole time we were away, Peanut loved her and we won’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently own two dogs, including a 25kg Goldendoodle, and caring for them has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and senior dogs with medical needs, as well as administering medication, feeding, walking, and providing plenty of love and attention. My own dogs are reactive, so I'm currently working with Dog Pawfection on ongoing training. This has given me valuable experience in handling reactive, nervous, and aggressive dogs safely, including lead handling, crate training, and managing challenging situations calmly while out on walks. Alongside caring for my own pets, I've regularly looked after friends' and family's dogs over the years, so I'm confident adapting to each dog's individual routine and needs. I'm also planning to complete a canine first aid course to continue developing my knowledge and provide owners with even greater peace of mind. I work as a dental nurse during the week, so I'm available after work and on weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time as a dental nurse, which means I'm available for pet care on evenings and weekends. Pet sitting is something I'm truly passionate about, and I'm excited to grow my client base while providing reliable, loving care to every pet I meet. My long-term goal is to gradually reduce my dental nursing hours and dedicate more of my time to caring for animals. Whether I'm looking after your pet for an evening, a weekend, or regular visits, you can count on me to treat them with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while keeping to their usual routine. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, and, of course, lots of cuddles if they enjoy them! I have experience with crate training, lead training, and reinforcing basic training around the home, so if you'd like me to continue practising simple commands and good habits while you're away, I'd be more than happy to help. I also have experience caring for reactive, nervous, and senior dogs, so I'm confident adapting my approach to suit each pet's individual needs. For cats, I'm equally happy to spend time playing, giving them affection on their terms, keeping litter trays clean, feeding them, and ensuring they have everything they need to feel relaxed and settled. Every pet is unique, so I'll always follow your instructions carefully and tailor my care to their routine, personality, and any specific requirements. I treat every pet as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they'll be cared for with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention while you're away.
“Kerry is so friendly and has a clear, genuine care and love for dogs. She took the time to get to know our rescue Doberman who can be a bit unsure of people and put her needs first. Kerry treated our home with respect and had great communication before and during the sitting, and sent us updates throughout the sitting. We will be booking Kerry again!”
About: I work full-time as a professional dog walker and pet sitter, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. My experience with dogs began while I was at university, where I regularly walked retired racing greyhounds, giving me valuable experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and individual needs. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking, always going the extra mile to provide the highest standard of care for every pet. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while they're away. For added peace of mind, I hold an enhanced DBS check, a Pet First Aid certificate, comprehensive pet care insurance, and a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma. I am committed to providing a professional, caring, and dependable service, treating every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time with early finishes through the week and have both Fridays and Saturdays free to look after your fur babies. I am more than happy for you to enquire about any services not listed and I am flexible as to the care of your animals- I will try my best to fit you in as and when I can always. When visiting your pet in your home, I will always follow the rules and routines we have discussed prior to offer you peace of mind and keep your pet as relaxed and happy as possible whilst you are away. If we are on a particularly long walk or I am minding your dog for a day or more we may visit my home where I have my own dog, providing your dog gets along with others. I have a secure garden and pet care facilities.
About: Hi I love animals and for the last twenty years I have had the pleasure of sharing my life with cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, and fish. I have two rescue Greyhounds and have been volunteering for the Greyhound Trust and Home Run Hounds for 6 years. Prior to that I have volunteered for the RSPCA. I am currently completing an online course in dog behaviour and welfare. I have been a nurse for 30 years now working 9-5 Monday to Friday but with flexibility and my dream is to eventually work full time with animals. I'm currently working full time Monday - Friday (9-5) but there is plenty of time to help with animal care early morning, after 5pm and weekends. I volunteer at dog kennels 8-10.30am on Saturdays. I would not see fitting in animal care as a chore but instead a priveladge. Who doesn't love animal cuddles, obviously on their terms 🙂 My hope is to reduce my 9-5 nursing role and build up my animal care role. I have two rescue Greyhounds, one who is anxious and we are working on her reactivity which is through fear so at this time I am not offering home boarding however I am happy to come to you. Just let me know your routine and requirements and I will respect and work with you.

We are very happy to have found Alex. She has looked after our 2 dogs wonderfully, especially as it has been during a heatwave. She has been getting up early to take them out and waited until late evening for their 2nd walk. She has even had the paddling pool out for them. She gets to know the dogs very well and keeps you well updated with how they are. The dogs love her. The house is left very clean and tidy. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely use again. Thank you so much, Alex ☺️
Tara has been amazing with Rolo! As a large dog who needs a muzzle and can be a handful she has really been a blessing when looking after him when we were away! She has got to know him really well and I’m sure he misses her since we have been home! Can’t thank you enough!
Felt confident and reassured leaving Blu with this lovely lady Jean who kept me up to date about his health issues Blu was so comfortable and relaxed in photos ,Jean is so nice and friendly and puts you at ease on meeting , I feel I've made a friend for life, I can highly recommend her on looking after your fur babies

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Helens on Rover is £36.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Saint Helens 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 Saint Helens 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. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
