“Sammie was brilliant with our anxious / clingy pup and kept us updated throughout the 2 days with cute pics of him having a brill time with her. Great comms and great pup sitter ☺️”
“Phenomenal. Michelle looked after Clement whilst my husband and I were away, and honestly we couldn’t have asked for more. She kept us updated with all of Clement’s adventures and didn’t just follow the handover notes — she genuinely understood him and what we wanted for him. Whether it was stimulating walks making new doggo friends, cuddles in bed, snores on the sofa, or even sneaking treats off the postie, Michelle listened, observed, and gave Clement the absolute best experience. It was so clear he was not only well cared for, but properly loved. Knowing Clement was happy and settled completely made our holiday. We would trust Michelle again in a heartbeat.”
“This was our first time in using Rover and we were feeling a bit anxious about leaving our two dogs and someone we didn’t know living in our home. Well I think we hit the jackpot with Russ, not only was he was very experienced in working with and owning dogs, he really went out of his way to make the transition as smooth as possible. He came over and met with us all a few weeks before we were due to go away, and it was clear to see from the start how well he engaged with the dogs and us and was prepared to answer any questions we may have had. The communication from him was excellent, ensuring that were kept in the picture as to what the dogs had been up to and where they had walked. He sent us pictures and videos of their adventures, and they clearly loved being with him. Russ also went over and above our expectations by offering to drop us off and collect us from the airport, saving us both time and money. Russ has a lovely warm and friendly personality and made everything so easy for us. I will not hesitate to call on his services again. We came back to a clean house, and fresh milk and bread. Although our dogs were pleased to see us when we got home, they looked very disappointed that Russ wasn’t with us. A BIG hit with the dogs and with us and he deserves this 5 star rating.”
About: Currently the owner of two rescue cats, one of which is harness trained! I’ve grown up with all sorts of animals! Including dogs, cats, fish, rabbits & birds! I’m currently working part time and I’m ready to explore this as a side hustle! I love animals and treat each one as my own. I always speak to the owner beforehand and ask lots of questions so I have a good understanding of your pet and how best to take care of them. I’m always taking photos of my own pets so you’ll be sent plenty!

About: I have had dogs for most of my like, i cared for my own for 16.5 years. She was my baby, ive looked after all different breeds. Some who have allergies so need medicine, ear issues, and even washing them I work from home most of the week so i can do daytime if local, evenings are free depending on times, fri evening / saturday evenings can be busy but i am sure we can work around it I will adjust to the homes the pets are in. If gates are there and need to be locked i will keep them locked, if there is a certain entrance to use entering or leaving the house i will follow that too
“Sophia looked after my golden retrievers beautifully overnight - they took to her instantly! She kept me in touch with what they were up to and sent me a photo of them chilling. Sophia is very easy-going and personable and nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her”
About: Previous experience: I have worked at a kennels and cattery where they bred British short haired cats. I have worked at Pet shops and also a groomers. I completed a National Diploma in Animal Care at Rodbaston College for which I received a Distinction. I have a DBS and an insured. I have had cats all my life, currently I have two beautiful boys of my own.
About: I have had 3 boxer dogs, all in which towards their old age I took great care of them including medication. I now have a cocker spaniel who has an ear problem so I am used to having to put medicated cream in his ears. I have also for the past year looked after a Jack Russel and a German shepherd. For these dogs I have house sat so I have done all the feeding and walking etc. I have also had experience cat sitting on 2 different occasions, so this opened me up to how to deal with litter trays, different dietary requirements and medication. These experiences have enabled me with many different opportunities to look after dogs and cats of all sizes! I am a qualified supply teacher in primary schools, which means I have a very flexible schedule and also a lot of free time during half terms! Living in Chester means I have easy access to many different bus/train routes so I am very easy accessible. I have experience with all different breeds and ages so I am happy to be looking after animals who need medication, I can also safely put the dogs in their crate, also senior dogs if there is special needs that they need such as aid getting onto their bed. I have house sat on many occasions and never had any problems I always keep in contact with the Owner, happy to send lots of pictures so they are kept updated and if keys are involved always made sure I follow the owners instructions!

Michelle to the rescue again! She looked after Clement for a couple of days while we were away, stepping in when our main sitter (friend) needed to travel back to her own home to look after another dog. Despite communication from us being minimal / broken due to us travelling and time difference everything was handled brilliantly by Michelle, and all of Clement’s needs were met without us having to worry. From the photos, Clement was thoroughly spoilt yet again and clearly very much enjoyed Michelle’s company. We came home to a very happy, well-looked-after boy. Thank you, Michelle!
This was our first time using Rover. Emma was a fantastic house and pet sitter. She sent regular updates and photos and left the house tidy and exactly how we’d left it. Our cat really bonded with Emma and it was reassuring to know he was in such safe hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma as a sitter.

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 Tamworth 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 Tamworth, the price of house sitting can vary between £28 and £48 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 Tamworth 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.

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.
