“What a delightful young lady. My two poodles were so happy for Hannah to be looking after them, they hardly made a fuss of me when I returned home! She sent a daily update with photos - it was all simply perfect. She is completely trustworthy and reliable, which is hugely important when handing over your home and pets. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Hannah again.”


About: I have owned a variety of breeds of dogs from small border terriers to labradors. I have always been on hand to help out family and friends with dog/cat care and house sitting when needed! I am currently employed full-time with some flexibility to work remotely (Office Hours 8-4). I will always be happy to help where I cam when available! I have always had dogs in the home from an early age and love their company! I will always work with the owner to maintain the pets routine

About: I’m currently working part time term time only so have plenty of time to look after animals! i’m available all day saturday sunday and wednesday in mornings/evenings every other day I have 3 cats at home and have a family full of cat and dog owners that i spend plenty of time with. I am used to keeping them safe on leads/crates or keeping animals apart if needs be. I am highly trained in cat cuddling also :)
“Amanda is a wonderful sitter! She is kind and friendly, and took excellent care of Charlie at my home. She shared updates and photos and I felt completely at ease while I was away. 100% recommend! Thank you Amanda x”

“Maria was a delight from start to finish. From our initial video call she instilled us with confidence and she never let this slip. She kept us up to date at just the right intervals with reassuring messages and photos and was ultra respectful of our house (including an overnight stay). We came back the following day to find a very happy hound and that is exactly what we hoped for. Will have no hesitation in booking Maria again, if she’s available - she’s great!”

“Amazing 👏 Couldnt be more happier and neither could my dog nala she had a very fun and exciting day and Oscar went above and beyond to make it easier for us all :) Will definitely be using again:)”

“Would definitely use again. Very friendly and good with my dog. Was worried about leaving my dog alone with a stranger, but we met up with Kerry before I went away. Had regular updates throughout the day.”

About: I’m not just a pet lover; I’m trained in professional animal care. I hold a recognised qualification in Dog Grooming, which gave me invaluable experience in understanding canine anatomy and individual temperaments. This training also included Dog First Aid, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe hands. I am also DBS checked. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals - from dogs and cats to parrots, lizards, and rabbits! I genuinely love their company and will always treat your pets with the same respect and high level of care I would give my own. I run my own pet photography business (which includes a hybrid sitting/photography service) called The Dog Frame. While your daily updates will usually be quick snapshots from my phone, I do like to bring my professional camera along for longer house sits/bookings to capture a few high quality images of your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My schedule is quite flexible, and I can often work it around the needs of you and your pet. If I commit to taking care of your pet, my full and undivided attention will be given. I have trained in an educational setting in how to correctly and safely look after and care for dogs. I am able to recognise different behaviours, which can be helpful in certain situations, such as identifying a potential problem before it escalates - I feel this is important, as there can be much more to pet care than meets the eye. The safety and comfort of your pet will always be my top priority.

About: Having grown up around animals pretty much my whole life, I have lots of experience in taking care and loving animals and know exactly what it takes to look after yours. Although taking care of animals can be a handful at times- whether you have an anxious pet, a puppy that hasn’t been crate trained or a dog that needs medication- I find it to be one of the most rewarding jobs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and am very adaptable when it comes to your pets needs. As a young woman I am very diligent when it comes to security, always ensuring doors and any entrances are locked. I am proactive and am able to handle any unexpected occurrences or issues that may arise. I maintain a line of communication with pet owners to keep them updated and address any concerns. Alongside Rover, I have accumulated lots of experience on various different pet sitting apps, having looked after many different animals, predominantly dogs. Hi! I am Hannah, I am 23 years old and have lots of time to spend with your little ones :) I have just come back from 1 year of travel and have decided not to jump straight back into employment, so all of my time can be devoted to pet sitting! I am available for overnight sits every day of the week, as well as day sits, drop in visits and dog walking. My flat is on a fenced in 20+ acre piece of land so there is plenty of room for your dogs to run around, and on top of this I am surrounded by numerous dog walking spots with lakes and mountain trails right on our doorstep. On the flip side, if you would prefer me to come and stay in your home to look after your pets, I want to ensure you a worry free trip through treating your home as I would my own with care and consideration. I maintain cleanliness making sure you return to your home in the same great condition.
“Jake came to stay overnight for us when we were away. He turned up on time and I felt really confident that the house and Zeus world be in excellent hands while we are away. He kept in regular contact with us and when we returned it was clear that he had taken really good care of Zeus and the house. Would recommend and look forward to Jake coming back to help us again.”

“Diana is an excellent pet sitter! We were lucky to had found her. She came to see our pets twice before staying at ours for a week. She sent daily updates and photos. She left the house clean and tidy. We are definitely contacting Diana again if we ever need help with our fur babies and we are 100% recommending Diana to our friends too!”

About: Animals have been in my life since birth. Grew up in a rural setting and just love animals and being around them. I do treat them as family members and there is nothing better in the world than a dog's face when they know they are being pampered. Or when a cat chooses you to fall asleep on. Or when a feral donkey decides you are trustworthy. I run an event catering business and as such am only working part time and working on my tiny home part time so I have lots of free time and flexible living. I prefer longer pet sits of 3 nights to 6 months. I only pet sit in a pet's own home. I find this better for them so that they can still have the comfort of familiar surroundings whilst their parents are away.
About: 10 years of military dog training, animal first aid trained. Animal welfare consultant for several charities and public services, Puppy trainer and novice gun dog trainer I have spent most of my adult life working with animals mainly dogs, but have experience with cats and scary birds, it’s a passion for me Generally Entering into an Animals house for the first time is challenging for the Animal, by letting the animal come to you allows for the Animal To build trust
“Excellent service from Fiona, we did the meet and greet and all went well, Fiona then came over as arranged, kept us informed of how it was all going and on our return went through what the doggies had been up to - which isn’t much being greyhounds 😂 would thoroughly recommend and will be using again..”


“Sophie was amazing! She stepped in at the last minute after we were let down, looking after our 3 pooch babies while we attended a wedding. Sophie came to meet the dogs hours after she returned from being on holiday and I have to say, they all loved her immediately. Sophie you gave us such peace of mind so that we could enjoy the weekend, we’re very grateful. Thank you so much 🐾🐶🐾🐕🦺🐾🐕🐾”


About: I love pets and I have always been surrounded by them from a young age, until I decided to have my own..the cutie in the picture! Unfortunately Dumbo is no longer with me, and although I am not ready to have another dog at the moment, I still have plenty of love to give. I work remotely so I like to have a doggy to keep me company and to play with during the day. I am available everyday, anytime. I am very flexible just please let me know if you cancel. I have a lovely fenced back garden. Plenty of space around the house to run, play or to cuddle. Within a short distance from my house, there is a natural park for nice evening walks by the lake.
“Once again it was a pleasure dealing with Alejandro! Reliable, experienced, a good communicator and he was willing to help us last minute! He kept us informed all the while and Zeeno enjoyed being looked after by Alejandro and everything was in excellent order on our return. Thank you much appreciated!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Kesteven on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 South Kesteven 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 South Kesteven 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.
