“Really great, confidence inspiring sitter. Got on famously with our little bit tricky border terrier and I think the dog is missing Devon! Had a useful meet and greet beforehand and Devon really cared for our boy - even in the heatwave. Excellent service, would use again and highly recommended”
“Adrienne has looked after our rescue staffie Daisy at our house a couple of times now and we would definitely recommend her. Communication has been consistently quick and easy and Adrienne is friendly and professional 🙂! Daisy is dog reactive and quite strong on the lead and Adrienne was confident managing this, she listened well to our advice regarding strategies to manage her reactivity and asked sensible questions. Daisy is definitely a fan of Adrienne and we have booked multiple other dates for sitting 🐕”
About: I’ve taken care of a range of different dog breeds ranging from large to small. Some of these dogs have been nervous or reactive to other dogs as well as some with people. :) I am currently completing a PhD focusing on cancer research so I am fairly flexible during the week and available the majority of weekends. I would love to meet your doggies 😊 I have a 6 foot fenced garden all the way around expect for the neighbours which is about 3/4 foot. The garden is fairly big with space to play fetch.
“Thank you to Laura and Tim for taking such good care of Irvie and also of our home. We were kept updated and assured that Irvie was settled and happy back at home, which really put our mind at ease. Irvie loved his walks and cuddles and looks forward to us going away again so that he can see Laura and Tim again 😀”
“Peyton was absolutely amazing!! Sammy was so happy and clearly well looked after. I didn’t have a single worry whilst away and would highly recommend her to anyone considering her as a sitter.”
“Shani was amazing, came over to meet our dog before sitting him and asked loads of questions to understand what he needs and took great care of him. Great communication with plenty or updates.”
“We're so grateful to Alice and Tommy for the lovely care and attention they gave to our little Patty. They gave him lots of exercise and opportunities too explore and sniff. Also ensured they made time to rest before ball games in the garden. They took really good care of our house and left everywhere clean and tidy. We felt they were genuine, trustworthy and very kind young people who we'd have no hesitation is asking again .We received photo's and video's which was very reassuring, we felt our little Patty was in safe hands as well as having kisses and cuddles. We would highly recommend Alice and Tommy to care for your pets.”
About: I've taken care of family and friend's pets of all kinds for almost 10 years now! I've grown up in a house where I'm constantly around animals, so have experience taking care of different types of pets every day. I'm often asked to care for friend's and families pets when they're away, and have grown a lot of trust in them to care for their animals to the best of my ability! I've just completed college, so I'm home constantly and will always be available for whenever you or your animal needs me, as I have no other obligations as of now! I have a fenced off, animal safe garden, as well as a clean, safe home for your pet to have free range of! When house sitting, I provide overnight services in order to ensure your pets routine is kept as close to normal as possible in order to reduce any anxiety from both you, and them!
About: I set myself apart by offering not only reliable pet care, but also tailored attention based on each pet’s unique needs. With hands-on experience in both puppy training and senior care, I’m able to provide: Puppy support: basic training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Senior care: gentle walks, medication reminders, and comfort for aging pets. Personalized activity: matching your pet’s energy level with playtime, exercise, or calm companionship. Consistent communication: daily updates with photos/videos for your peace of mind. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate daily or weekly pet care at times that suit your pet’s routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, as well as weekends. Whether it’s structured puppy training sessions, regular walks, or consistent feeding times, I’ll ensure your pet’s schedule stays balanced and stress-free. 🐾 Caring for Pets in My Home When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks (for dogs), and cuddles. I make sure feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise all follow their normal routine, so they feel comfortable and at ease. I also keep spaces clean and pet-friendly, with lots of love and attention. 🐾 Caring for Pets in an Owner’s Home In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s daily routine exactly as you set it. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning (for cats), walks (for dogs), and any special instructions such as medications or training reinforcement. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own environment while also keeping your home tidy and cared for during my visits.
“Absolutely AMAZING!! We felt totally confident leaving our boys (and house) with Sneha. She bonded with the boys frorm the get go, and constantly played with and entertained them whilst we were away for 4 days. We were constantly updated with multiple videos a day, which was brilliant to see how much Sneha and the boys were enjoying themselves. On our return the house looked like she had never been there!!! We would definately recommend Shnea, and would book her again without hesitation. We (and the boys) have made a friend for life and will stay in touch.”
“Negin was wonderful looking after Luna. Very kind, helpful and sent regular picture and general updates from home. When I returned, Luna was so happy and I can’t thank Negin enough for making leaving her, so easy and stress free. It’s so lovely to be able to trust someone new with your animal from the outset and Negin made that process so easy and comfortable. Thank you so much Negin. I will without a doubt be asking you to look after Luna for me again ☺️”
“Freddy has been a life-saver. I have needed to leave Irma with him to attend interviews and house-viewings and he has been amazing with her. Very trustworthy and Irma is always happy and well-taken care of.”
“On returning home after my trip, I came back to a very happy, healthy, well fed Mopsy. As usual Yeru has done a fine job. I feel she may have struggled a little with uni work, and looking after Mopsy, but that is my fault really, as I have her virtually no notice. I think it may have only been four days, but if she hadn’t stepped up, I would have had to cancel my trip, as there’s no one else, I’d be happy to trust with my dog. I’d throughly recommend Yeru, and hope she is available in the summer, when I go on holiday again. 🤞”
About: I have a gap in fostering dogs right now and would love to offer help with your furry friends so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I have my own business and work from home so am pretty flexible to whatever your pets requires to feel at ease. I’m often around and can pick up last minute requests. I’ve joined rover as a sitter because I usually foster dogs and have struggled to find reliable, local sitters and so understand the importance of what is needed when you leave your loved one with a sitter while you are away. Whether it be while you’re at work or on holiday, rest assured your baby will be loved and cared for. I have a small but enclosed garden with 6 foot fencing which is perfect for a run around. I offer a tailored service so we can talk about what best suits your dog when we meet.

The median cost per night for house sitting in Sherwood is £34
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Rachel is so lovely, she was very tentative to Caspers needs and updated me with plenty of photos throughout the day. She was happy to put me right at ease by agreeing to come for a meet and greet prior to a last minute booking. Casper has had a blast with her and I cannot recommend Rachel enough! We will definitely be booking again 🥰 thank you!
Joseph has been great with our senior dog. Our dog has fairly complex requirements. He’s on various medications and cannot be left alone which is incredibly restricting and something many pet sitters would have difficulty accommodating. However Joseph has been more than happy to accommodate our dog’s needs which has been a huge blessing for us and such a relief to know he’s being well looked after in our absence. I’d recommend Joseph to other dog owners whose pets have more complex needs as I have felt very confident leaving my dog in his care.
I booked Nicola to look after my big quirky greyhound Blossom for 1 night/2 days. Nicola was super responsive to all of my Rover messages and promptly arranged a meet and greet so she could meet us ahead of the booking and understand Blossoms needs. She arrived on time for both the meet and greet and the booking, did a great job taking care of Blossom, and left my house in perfect condition. She also provided regular updates. Will definitely use again in the future!
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 😊😀
Hannah looked after Aiko for us for 9 days. We received daily updates and lovely photos whilst we were away. He was happy and had lots of snuggles and lovely walks. Kept him in his routine and also looked after our house. Fantastic communication. Would highly recommend ⭐️

Adrienne regularly looks after our dog Daisy at our house while we're at work. Daisy is always so excited to see her (she lies at the top of the stairs and stares at the front door awaiting her arrival!!) and is always content when we return home with all needs met. We receive cute updates and Adrienne is very communicative when it comes to arranging sitting.
Sarah is the BEST dog and cat sitter. She is the most sweetest person, so bubbly and puts you at ease. She goes above and beyond when looking after your pets and sends regular updates throughout the stay. She leaves your home spotless and is so thoughtful. We cannot recommend her enough. Willow and Sophie have had the best time. We will definitely be using Sarah again. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. The best there is🩷
Scarlet has been an absolutely amazing dog sitter for my two Shih Tzus. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, reliable, and genuinely loving she is with dogs. She kept them happy, comfortable, and well looked after, and I had complete peace of mind while away. She was attentive to their routines, gave them lots of affection and care, and kept me updated regularly, which I really appreciated. My dogs were relaxed and happy around her, which says everything. I would highly recommend Scarlet to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of them!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sherwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,246 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sherwood. 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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.
