“Eve was a fantastic dog sitter and I couldn’t be happier. She stayed overnight at my house and took great care of Milo and Mollie. Milo is extremely nervous, but Eve put him at ease very quickly, which really meant a lot to me. Mollie loved the attention and definitely enjoyed her treats! Eve also took the dogs out for walks and made sure they were well looked after. She was very professional, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book her again. 🐶🐾”

She kept us updated and made sure Stitch was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Melanie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much, Melanie, for looking after our Stitch so well! He’s definitely going to miss you🤣🐾💗”
“Hayley was a fabulous find. She was able to help with a house stay and 2 walks for last minute appointment over NYE. She wasn’t put off by Buster being a larger dog which can normally be an issue for us. Came home to a happy doggo ☺️ Will definitely use Hayley again ?”
“Hazel has been fantastic with our terrier, he has a lot of energy and can fixate on movement if not stimulated. She provided him with long engaging walks and ensured he was relaxed when returning home. She stayed over and ensured he was well taken care of.”
“Brad had great communication from the first time I messaged him, he came ahead of the booking to meet Lola and saw the booking through as requested. He was nice and considerate the whole time and Lola loved him. She is strong and pulls on walks but Brad managed her well. We can home to a happy pup and cared for home. Will 100% book Brad again.”
About: Qualified in basic first aid for dogs and cats. CRB checked which can be evidenced to give reassurance. Used to caring for dogs and cats. I am available to house sit and walk dogs in the evening or at weekends. Potentially can also do early morning walks depending on location. In your own home I would follow your house rules and care for your pets how you normally do it in order to not disrupt their routine.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our home and dog! 🐾❤️ They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish, and we came home to a lovely clean and tidy house, with the sweetest note left for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our home and dog were in such good hands while we were away. They clearly took great care of everything and went above and beyond to make sure everything was lovely for our return. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring and reliable house and pet sitters. We’d happily have them back anytime! Thank you both so much for looking after everything so well. Highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth was amazing, she was able to sit last minute due to a medical emergency. She arrived quickly, was able to take digger for a night time walk ( which he loved) she stayed over and walked him again on the second day ( over 3 hours which again he loved) and waited until we got home. Highly recommended 😍”
About: I always had a family dog growing up, the house wouldn’t be the same without a dog or two! I have always helped look after dogs for family and friends and now as I have just completed dog grooming training I am excited to meet yours and provide them with care and love! I currently work in a primary school part time, my young child is now starting full time school and I have quality time spare to spend on your furry friends. I treat their home like it’s my own and care for their animal like they are my own. Attention to detail and being responsible and reliable.
About: I grew up surrounded by German Shepherds, as my mother bred, showed and trained them, so caring for and understanding dogs has always been a big part of my life. I also have experience with dog training and previously had my own much-loved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I hold a Pet Sitting Diploma/Certificate from New Skills Academy, giving me additional knowledge in responsible pet care. I’m confident with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities and can also administer medication when required. I treat every pet as an individual and understand how important it is for owners to know that their animals are safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention while in my care. I have a flexible working schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting during the week and at weekends. I’m also happy to discuss individual routines and requirements, as I know every pet is different. Your pet’s safety, happiness and routine are my priorities. I will always follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medication and any particular needs or behaviours. I’m experienced with dogs of different breeds and sizes, have a background in dog training, and hold a Pet Sitting Diploma/Certificate. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of both their familiar routine and the owner’s property, and I’m happy to provide regular updates for reassurance.
“Nairere was Impressively good sitter. She always sends me pictures of my dog status. For example after walking, eating and resting . So I never had to worry about mydog over the holidays. And she cleaned the house before we arrived. Thank you so much everything. I look forward to leaving my dog with her again soon. I really recommend her:)))))♥️♥️♥️????”
“Mitchell is a really friendly guy and took great care of our dog, Nala 🙂 Nala enjoyed some lovely walks whilst in his company and Mitchell sent us some photos, which we appreciated. The house was left tidy and clean and we felt really comfortable knowing Mitchell was looking after Nala. Thanks so much Mitchell! Highly recommended 😀”
“Taylor was great with our anxious dachshund. Despite it being a short notice booking she prioritised a meet and greet a few days before the sit and it was clear to see how comfortable she is around animals. During the two night sit, Taylor updated us with messages and pictures. Dougie warmed up to her instantly and we were glad to see that he was so happy and content. She took excellent care of him, sticking to his schedule and routines. She also took great care of our home. We’ll definitely be booking with Taylor again!”

This was my first time leaving my dog Molly with a sitter so naturally I was slightly apprehensive. I honestly couldn't recommend Sam enough! From the moment I left Molly with Sam, I knew she was in safe hands. Sam was so caring, thoughtful and attentive, treating Molly as if she was his own. It's clear how much Sam genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. It was lovely to know she was being so well looked after, and the updates and photos were really reassuring while I was away. I came home to a very happy, contented dog. Thank you so much, Sam, for giving me complete peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book you again!
Tanya was fantastic with our rescue boy Kenzo. He’s super highly strung and anxious, especially when we leave the house together. We wanted someone who Kenzo could become comfortable around easily and Tanya adapted brilliantly to his needs, recognising he needs a little time to work things out before he relaxes. Her calm and soft approach helped him settle beautifully while we enjoyed a date night for the first time in forever. Would thoroughly recommend

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Torfaen 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!
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 Torfaen walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
For a long house sitting booking, discuss the full booking dates, the sitter’s overnight and daytime schedule, how long your pets can comfortably be left alone, home access, emergency contacts, and how often you would like updates.
During long bookings over different seasons, discuss any additional home-care tasks you would like the house sitter to handle, such as monitoring the heating, checking for draughts, or helping keep walkways accessible. Not all sitters offer household tasks, so confirm exactly what the sitter agrees to do and document the agreed responsibilities through Rover before booking.
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.
