We came home to happy pets who had clearly been well looked after! It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and we appreciated Emily coming to meet us before to put our minds at ease. We could tell Emily had experience with pets, as well as being a lovely person, and my dog warmed to her straight away. Very welcome to pet/house sit here again :)

Ashley is so good with Arwen and we really appreciated the regular updates. He gave us so much peace of mind we were away! He was also flexible and helped out when our travel plans changed last minute due to storms.

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.

What an amazing 1st time experience of using Rover. Couldn’t have wished for better than Maya. She looked after our 13 year old dog as if he were her own - plenty of cwtshes & short walks (with plenty of pics!) The house was immaculate as well. She even came round the night before to meet us & Macs as we were leaving early the day of the sitting. Diolch/ thanks Maya - we’ll be in touch soon for our next trip away

My Benny had a lovely time with Sophie. She stayed overnight and looked after my place well. I enjoyed the photos and little updates she sent. Highly recommend Sophie and I will definitely be booking again if our diaries align.

About: I’m a massive dog / animal lover. In terms of sitting experience, I have looked after the dogs of friends and family a lot, both in their homes and at mine. I’ve been trusted with dogs of all ages and sizes. Other animal experiences include working with / looking after horses since I was a teen (so well over 5 years of experience with animals.) I work from home, and can pretty much work anywhere so I can bring my laptop to you, as long as you have wifi! I work 8.30-5, but can be very flexible and will be able to spend time away from my laptop to have a play, a cuddle or a walk with your dog. I’m not tied to it all day. If your pet comes to me, I can do the same. I might need to pop out in the evenings for food shopping etc. At the weekends, I can take them out on adventures (walks) around by me or your home. We can also chill and watch TV or do whatever your dog needs to do! I can be very flexible to make sure your dog is happy. I can be very flexible in terms of the care I can offer - I can stay at your home, or your pet can come to me! I have nice public walkways and open spaces near me down in Cardiff Bay, or can go for a drive to other nearby fields. I can even meet up with other friends who also have dogs, and can offer a little socialisation if your dog is OK with other dogs. I do live in a flat, so I don’t have a garden, but I can take your dog out as often as they need! It gives me an excellent excuse to get out of the flat during the day. I live on my own, so it would be nice to have company. Happy to send updates as and when as well so you know your pet is in safe hands and doing well.

Alice looked after our dog for a long weekend. She arranged a meet and greet beforehand and we could see that our dog was very comfortable with her. Communication was very good while we were away with photos and she also checked that we were on time to get home as expected. I would recommend Alice and will definitely use her again.

About: I've always owned dogs and cats growing up, and currently live with two cocker spaniels and a ragdoll cat. I frequently become relied upon by family members to dog sit, most popularly by my dad who owns an XL American Bull. I've had dogs from the range of shuh tzu's to staffie's to the American Bull mentioned, which has made confident in my abilities no matter the breed, size or personality! I'm currently going back to university to study my Masters Degree, which is why this type of arrangement is ideal for me (and hopefully for you too!) I'm currently going back to university for my Masters Degree in Social Work which is only two days a week. This leaves me with plenty of time to have fun and keep your furry loved ones company while you are away making memories! From dogs that just want someone to sit near (who will make the best study buddies) to high energy and playful dogs (the ones that make you forget all of lifes stress while you focus on whatever they want to play with), I can guarentee the best service for them from me. Unfortunately, I am not able to have animals come to my house - the two cocker spaniels and the ragdoll cat have rule of that here! I am more than happy to sit in for the days, or stay overnight when needed! I am happy to meet first (which will hopefully also include the dog) but rezt assured no matter how we start this off, your animals are the priority.

About: I have taken care of pets for several friends and family, including dogs, cats and horses, as well as having my own cat for 4 years now. I always take extra care with the specific needs of the animals I am with and the requests of their owners. As I currently work in a school, I am available full-time during weekdays until term starts again in September. I can be available at any time and for multiple nights. I am very patient when it comes to gaining the trust of animals and will follow any instruction or guidance with regards to caring for your pets as closely as possible.

About: I am a responsible and caring individual who enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for pets belonging to friends and neighbours, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I am attentive to each pet’s needs and ensure they receive plenty of care, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care during weekdays and weekends. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the owner’s needs. I always make sure pets receive enough attention, exercise, and care during the time I spend with them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, ensure pets are supervised, and maintain a clean and calm environment. I make sure pets are well fed, exercised, and happy, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.

Marcus came to look after Lenny for 1 night, and I could tell Len had been well looked after when I got back as he was a very happy boy! You also wouldn’t have known anyone had been here because the house was exactly how I had left it. Len is a 35kg doodle full of energy but also very needy and slightly nervous so he perhaps isn’t the easiest dog to look after. However when Marcus came over prior to the visit it was very clear that Len was not nervous at all around him and in fact was rather excited… which Marcus handled well 😅. I had lots of pictures and videos, a meet up before hand, Marcus took lots of notes on Len’s care, was flexible on timings and is generally a very lovely person. I would definitely book doggy care with Marcus again.

Really delighted to have found Leanne, who looked after my two fur babies and stayed in my home while we were away for several nights. Absolute professional - dogs were really relaxed and calm when we arrived home which is always a good sign and the house was absolutely spotless! She messaged frequently, sending updates and reassurances. I would certainly recommend her.

Jeffrey was great...he arrived on time and sent me photos throughout the day,which I appreciated. Marshall took to him immediately and they spent lots of time taking walks and cuddling on the couch. Jeffrey followed our requests and we will definitely use him again.

My family and I could not be happier with the care that Izzabelle provided for our dog, Huxley, whilst we spent the day at our son's graduation. From the very beginning, Izzabelle responded promptly to all my messages, and she was incredibly polite. Izzabelle arrived punctually at the agreed time. Huxley absolutely loved all the cuddles, tasty dog treats and the extra fuss he received from Izzabelle when she looked after him for the day. We especially appreciated the regular updates and the photos of Huxley having a great time, that Izzabelle sent us during her stay - it gave us complete piece of mind while we were out for the day. We highly recommend Izzabelle. And Huxley does too!

Leanne looked after our two boys for four nights during a trip to Venice. Would definitely recommend using her services as Leanne was brilliant from start to finish. We arranged a meet & greet beforehand so that the boys could familiarise themselves with her and then we received regular updates, including pics whilst away. We will be using Leanne again (hopefully in June) for our next break away. Your little ones will be in safe hands, you can rest easy knowing that when you come home they will be content and will have enjoyed their time with her. Our house was left spotless! Thank you Leanne.

FAQs for House Sitting – Vale of Glamorgan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Vale of Glamorgan on Rover is £34.29 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,920 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vale of Glamorgan. 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 Vale of Glamorgan 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 Vale of Glamorgan 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.
