“Suzanne (Mei) looked after our little bubs over a long weekend. This was the first time and she went above and beyond. And more importantly, our very anxious cats don’t tend to gel with new people coming into the house. However after coming home, they were relaxed and completely stress free which made me feel so content. They were loved and looked after perfectly, I can not recommend her enough. Thankfully have Suzanne looking after our bubs again for longer with the next booking. Excellent!!”
“We are so pleased we found Merrily and she was available to look after Dotty. From the outset when she had her first meet and greet with Dotty we could tell she was going to put her needs first and was an absolute delight to deal with. Merrily sent regular updates and took Dotty on all sorts of adventures; it was one of the first holidays I have taken as a pet owner where I have had zero worries about leaving. Would thoroughly recommend working with Merrily.”
“Rachel house sat our dog and 2 cats on a weekend. She kept us up to date on how their day was going and sent some lovely photos. Also looked after our house well. Thanks for your help Rachel”
“Julia did a great job looking after Kiki. She arranged a meet and greet to get to know Kiki and understand her needs prior to the sit. She was easy to communicate with & did a great job looking after Kiki during the sit. I would happily have her look after Kiki again.”
“Sophia looked after our dog Kingsley for the day, she was so good with him, and he had a great time, we received multiple pictures of him throughout the day on their walks, and was so calm when we returned back! Thank you ☺️”
“Samuel is such a good companion to Betty. He meets her where she is, makes it a breeze for us to leave when she's anxious, and goes above and beyond to ensure she's comfortable and happy. We always have such peace of mind leaving Betty in Samuel's safe hands, plus he's communicative and timely.”
“What a great find Conner was! Booked rather last minute, Conner was able to dog sit for our puppy Maggie, who he was brilliant with. He arrived on time, totally understood the needs of a puppy and was really accommodating when we were delayed and back later than planned. I cannot fault Conner as a dog sitter, plus he's clearly a lovely guy! I hope he will be able to look after Maggie again in the future.”
About: I've cared for a multitude of pets from a young age. From growing up with 3 Collies, 6 cats of different breeds, a Pot bellied pig called Bruno, 2 Tortoises, Chickens, Doves, a pony and a goat ! I personally have owned , 3 cats, a Greyhound, Chickens and a Tortoise. I am currently redundant and looking for part time work, so am around all day at the moment. I am close to 2 beautiful parks, and have an enclosed garden. I have an enclosed garden. I do have stairs in my home, that are used to exit and enter. Pets have free roam of the home and sofa sharing is a must. Walks, Play, mental stimulation and positive reward training. I have a Basic up to date - DBS certificate.
About: Hello! I’m Anna a lifelong cat lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own boy, Prince, who I adored for over a decade. I understand cats deeply, their personalities, their moods, their routines, and their boundaries. I’m gentle, patient, and very tuned in to how animals feel. I’ve looked after anxious cats, affectionate cats, playful cats, and older cats who needed extra comfort. Because I recently lost my own cat, I have a huge soft spot for making other people’s pets feel loved, safe, and calm while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every cat as if they were my own.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Iwona to look after our pets. We have now used her for various sits including 2 2 week holidays. She takes excellent care of both our Cocker Spaniel puppy Fred (8 months) and cat Milly (5 years). Both animals are exceptionally well cared for. Our puppy Fred needs lots of walks and attention and Iwona takes him on incredible walks both locally and further afield in beautiful countryside. She takes time to understand both of their needs and training requirements and makes them both feel safe, secure and happy. She is very experienced and provides pet sitting that goes above and beyond expectation. The house is very well cared for, and Iwona is always happy to accommodate deliveries and very understanding if here are any unexpected issues that need dealing with. On our return the house is immaculate and we find Iwona to be very trustworthy and thoughtful. I would wholeheartedly recommend.”
About: We’re Jay and Si, just two dog people without a dog of our own! We really miss having one around and would love to share our time (and sofa) with yours. We’re super easygoing and reliable, and will treat your pets like part of the family with lots of love and cuddles. We usually work from home three days a week. Jay on Fridays, and Si is flexible. Weekends are usually pretty relaxed too, unless we’re travelling. But we’ll always do our best to help out if we can. Your dog will get lots of attention and affection from us. We’ve got a few big parks close by, so it’s really easy to keep active. We’ve both grown up around dogs, so we know the drill keeping them safe, happy, and cared for.
“Emilia was great with our 3 year old energetic lab. She was very responsive and kept us updated while we were away. The house was left clean and our dog was very well taken care of!”
About: I've grown up around dogs and have spent years caring for family pets of all ages and sizes. While I can't commit to having my own dog right now, I'd love to look after and care for yours! I currently work hybrid and can be flexible with my days. I’m moving into my own two bedroom flat with communal outdoor space, so can be more flexible and accommodating for bookings. My office is also dog friendly which helps. I don’t have any major commitments at this time and can work around schedules. I have a big living space which is useful for any crates if needed and am only a short walk away from Sutton Common for a good walk.
About: I love animals and I work in the charity sector as a service manager for older people. I currently live in a flat where I can't have pets and I am missing a feline friend to care for... I think being a cat sitter will give me the feline contact I crave!
About: ive taken care of dogs for as long as i can remember, since the age of 9 i’ve been looking after the family dog and a year later i started to help out with close family with this and haven’t stopped since i am currently unemployed and willing to travel to pet sit for you, i am free most days, unfortunately i cannot provide boarding but if you do need someone to sit and play with your pets for weeks at a time im your guy i will ensure that your fur baby’s are well looked after and treated by myself, entailing that they have enough biscuits through the day, cats have 3-4 meals a day as well as treats, dogs have 2-3 meals a day as well as treats too
About: I am a relaxed, fast learning walker who loves to walk. I am experienced in taking care of dogs who require extra care and attention due to their behaviour. I'm currently working part-time, so that means I have plenty of time to walk, play and look after your dogs. I want to know the dos and don'ts with your dog so I can create a safe and relaxed environment so your dog isn't scared or uncomfortable. As a fellow owner with a nervous rescue I would never want to put your pet through any kind of stress. I have an up-to-date DBS which I can share upon request if I'm house sitting. Please tell me where I can stay, where is off limits and key information (such as the nearest vet, your pet's dietary requirements etc.).

Iwona looked after my dog Stella for 8 days and I could not have had a better experience. My dog has some serious health issues and so I'm very careful who I leave her with. With Iwona, I quickly had absolute peace of mind and could relax without worrying whilst away. Iwona is on the one hand, warm, friendly with a seemingly natural affinity with dogs and yet equally and crucially, showed the utmost professionalism, responsibility, judgment and more. I was away whilst a heatwave was in place and Iwona made adjustments to my dog's schedule in order to allow for this all the while, keeping me informed and working with my dog's schedule/needs. Iwona is an excellent communicator and we had daily checks ins and photos/videos which is of course so nice to receive whilst far away from home. Iwona was very comfortable receiving notes as they relate to my dog. Indeed, she placed great importance on understanding my dog's needs, routine, habits, preferences. My dog is clearly very happy and settled in Iwona's care. I am so pleased to have found Iwona and would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter/carer for their much-loved pet. Thank you Iwona!
I could not recommend Sara more! She was absolutely incredible with Zedley, sent daily updates and looked after him as if he was her own. We were away for over 10 days and I felt completely relaxed and at ease knowing he was so well looked after. There is no doubt in my mind that Zedley misses her now. Thank you for being so amazing Sara
Mel was an amazing dog sitter in our home during our week away. We felt so reassured knowing our 7 month old pup Cali was so content and well looked after by her. Mel sent regular updates that allowed us to see how happy Cali was and meant we could relax whilst away. Mel looked after our home so well and did everything we needed. Would highly recommend Mel as a kind, capable dog sitter.
Stef was exceptional. She was friendly and attentive and Mavis has certainly made a friend! Stef was friendly, easy to deal with and made the whole experience feel wholesome. We will definitely have Stef back again and I would happily recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.
I can 100% recommend Tiler to anyone looking for a dog sitter! Tiler looked after our elderly english bulldog Tilly. She provided brilliant care to Tilly and great communication to us when we were away. Tilly was delighted to have such great company! We have already booked Tiler for another holiday!
Neetal is absolutely wonderful in every way! My dog absolutely adored her from the moment she walked through the door. She took amazing care of him, sent me tons of photos, looked after my home beautifully. A total joy to communicate with, Neetal goes the extra mile and then a hundred more. And she’s super fun! Cannot recommend her highly enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Samuel is such a good companion to Betty. He meets her where she is, makes it a breeze for us to leave when she's anxious, and goes above and beyond to ensure she's comfortable and happy. We always have such peace of mind leaving Betty in Samuel's safe hands, plus he's communicative and timely.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sutton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sutton on Rover is £28.75 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 16,999 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sutton. 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 Sutton 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 Sutton 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
