“Lindsay was absolutely amazing looking after our pack (2 young cats with a lot of energy and 1 senior siberian husky with additional care needs). But none of these was an issue for Lindsay and she handled them all so perfectly and treated them like her own. I think our fur babies was sad when we came home off our holidays and missed Lindsay haha! It was so reassuring getting daily updates while we was away and meant we could truly relax and enjoy our time away. When we came back the house was spotless and Lindsay had even stripped and washed the bedding. Was such a lovely touch. She went above and beyond and we can't recommend her enough. Would give her 10 stars if we could! Thank you so much and we look forward to having you back in the future ❤️”
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a real love and connection with them. Throughout my life I have cared for family pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, buggies and rabbits. I had two of my own cats who I cared for throughout their lives, both reaching the wonderful age of 21. I have also helped care for my mum’s Labrador and regularly look after my cousin’s Jack Russell and cat when they are away. I genuinely love being around animals and take great pride in making sure they are happy, comfortable, safe and well cared for. I’m patient, caring and attentive, and I treat every animal as an individual, taking the time to understand their personality, routine and needs. For me, looking after animals isn’t just a job — it’s something I truly enjoy. Seeing a happy, relaxed animal is what makes me happiest, and I would always give your pet the same care and attention I would give my own. I have 30 years of experience caring for animals through having my own pets and looking after family and friends' animals. I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available throughout the week, and I can work around your pet’s usual routine. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits and plenty of company and attention. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I will follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and settled. I’ll take the time to understand their individual routine, personality and needs, and will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.
“Jena looked after Ronnie a couple of times at hers and we had a great experience both times! Her little dog Teddy is lovely and they got on well together. Great communication, would definitely recommend.”
“Ella has been absolutely brilliant at dog and house sitting for us. Ella is really communicative and friendly, and we know Bilbo always has an amazing time with her. We'd definitely recommend contacting Ella!”
“Ralph had an amazing time with Sonia. It’s clear how much she adores dogs and kept in touch regularly with pictures and videos. Felt so at ease knowing he was in very good hands and will not hesitate to book Sonia again in the future.”
“Willow and Woody absolutely loved their time with Ylenia. We received updates in the morning and at night about them both alongside photos🥹 Even when it came to bite cleaning and medication for Woody, Ylenia was great. We will definitely be booking Ylenia again and recommend anyone else to do so too!!!!”
“Joanne came to my house to meet my dogs before we finalised our booking and we had a lovely chat. My bouncy pups settled quickly while she was here which was a good sign! Joanne was really accommodating when I requested a couple of changes to our booking. Although nervous leaving the dogs initially, I was updated daily on how they were doing. When we collected them it was heartwarming to see them run back to Joanne while excitedly greeting us. Thanks again”
About: I've been a pet lover since forever, always having furry friends by my side. Spent three amazing years volunteering at a pet rescue, fostering pets until they found their perfect match. And with a bunch of vets in the family, I've grown up surrounded by all things pet-related! While I'm committed to my full-time job during the day, my evenings and nights are dedicated to providing loving care for your furry companions. On weekends, I'm available all day to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's playtime in the evening or cuddles on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I'm here to make sure your pets feel cherished and content whenever you need me. Since I have two antisocial cats, boarding isn't an option. However, I'm thrilled to offer personalized care in the comfort of your home. I'll attentively follow both your instructions and your pet's unique needs to ensure they receive the best care possible.
About: I grew up with lots of pets of all different kinds! I have had one dog and three cats, a bunny, a hamster and guinea pigs. And yes, simultaneously! All my family always had pets too, so I am used to taking care of them when the family went on holiday 😁 I have also looked after my friends’ pets often, from a husky to a bulldog, to the most divas of black cats! I love animals and I can assure you that your pets will be in very good hands and showered in love 🥰 I currently work from home on most days, going into the office only once a week, so I am available to flat-sit for long periods of time or to have a pet here all day! I love to go on walks with dogs and play around with cats, so me and your pet will have the best time! I live in a flat, close to the docks, which is perfect when taking a dog on a walk by the river. Either at yours or mine, I will strictly follow your instructions and update you regularly on how your baby is doing. I do my best to get the pet comfortable around me to make sure we have the best time!
About: I've had cats and dogs since I was just 1. I have always grown up and loved them unconditionally all my life. I treat every animal like family and as the friend that they are. Every animal has their own personality and I'd love to get to know your dog/cat better also 😊 I work full-time 3 days a week, on a 3 on 3 off basis. So I am available for bookings on my 3 days off work or at extra times throughout the year when I am on leave. Just enquire with a booking to see if I'm available 😊 I have a fur baby and cats of my own, that all love meeting new people. Which will give your little family member someone to have fun with if they board with me. If I am sitting in your own home, I have plenty of experience of caring for dogs and cats, as I've had them since a very young age continuously throughout my life. I treat every animal I meet as family and will give them all the best care and love that I can possibly offer.
“Alex was absolutely fantastic in caring for (and training) our 5 month old pup whilst we were away on holiday. Alex sent us regular updates which were detailed along with pictures which gave us the piece of mind we needed to be able to enjoy our time away. With Alex we never worried about our pup receiving all the love and care he needed as he develops his understanding of the world and interacting with others (dogs and humans). Alex is thoughtful and calm in his approach with our energetic and adventurous pup which has clearly had a huge impact on him growing into a independent and loving dog. We can't recommend Alex enough and we are so grateful to have his support.”
“Huge thank you to Daniela for looking after our fur babies. Bella a 4 year old Shepherd and Missy a 15 year old cat. Dani was in touch daily with updates and photos and left us totally reassured and confident. Wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend her services. Thanks again xx”
“Francesca is absolutely amazing with our sweet but easily spooked Tilly. We can rely on her completely to look after her and know we will come back to a happy and relaxed pup!”

About: I grew up with cats and a little terrier cross, so I know how just how important members of the family our pets can be. My years working in a veterinary practice has also allowed me to become familiar with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from pups to seniors, and I would love to spend time with yours and keep them happy and comfy while you are away.

About: I have completed my second year of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Liverpool and have gained plenty of experience working in dog kennels, catteries and veterinary clinics. I have grown up around and cared for dogs and cats all my life and always look forwards to looking after them. I love to learn about each individuals quirks and fears, and working around them to bring about the most positive experience possible. An example of this is when I looked after an assistance dog in training who was used to a rural lifestyle and worked to build confidence in the city which aided in her completion of assistance dog training. I have completed second first year of vet med at the university of Liverpool, so I’m looking to help out whenever I have the spare time. I have a good understanding of pets behaviour, and find I can easily build a trusting relationship with them. I give them attention if they want, and if not let them have their personal space. I know what to not to do avoid pushing a pets boundaries.

Daniela couldn't do enough for Louis. He enjoyed walks and attention throughout time that Daniela had him in my home with lots of pictures being send of him 😍. Daniela looked after my home and kept it clean and tidy and took the time to check all Louis information and route. Thank you so much for looking after him. X
Hannah was brilliant with our girls, I was a bit worried because they are nervous rescue girls. Hannah sent pictures and a video over the weekend and put my mind at rest. I could tell by how they reacted when we came home they were absolutely fine and relaxed with Hannah. She had also left everywhere tidy and stripped her bed which was lovely of her. Thank you so much Hannah x

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 Sefton 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 Sefton, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 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 Sefton 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.
