“Lia was great watching our dog Maya whilst we were away on a city break. She kept us informed daily with photos and understood Maya’s particular needs. She left the house spotless and even took the sheets off the bed!! Would love to have Lia watch Maya again any day.”


“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter! We needed someone at very short notice to look after our 4-month-old puppy, and Emma was incredibly kind and reliable. She took excellent care of our puppy, gave us regular updates, and made us feel completely reassured while we were away. Our puppy was very happy and settled with her, which meant so much to us. We are extremely grateful for her care and would happily recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking Emma again!”

“Francesca was available at short notice and my two dogs took to her immediately! They were well looked after and Francesca kept in touch with updates and photos. I would definitely use her again :-)”

“Valentina was amazing, I am very lucky and happy to have found her as Mikasa’s first pet sitter! She clearly knows dog behaviour very well and asked lots of questions during meet and greet so she knows how to take care of her! Her attention to details is an A++! I would highly recommend her if you need to take care of your lovable fluffy friends 😘”

“Hannah was amazing with Nova, who is a very shy and nervous dog. She was so patient and gave her the time and space she needed to settle and feel safe. As this was the first time we had left Nova with someone outside our close family for a full week, Hannah’s daily updates, photos and video, were incredibly reassuring. It was lovely to see that Nova was very quickly happy and comfortable in her care. Hannah also left the house sparkling clean and, most thoughtfully of all, she waited for our return home on a Sunday night to make sure Nova had her dinner and that we did not have any issues with our return flight. Hannah's attention and dedication to making us and our dog feel reassured during our time apart was beyond expectation.”


About: I've walked a friend's dog twice a week for 4 years and have loved it so much! I have a cat and absolutely love playing and looking after him. I have pet sat for friends and family for many years I work full-time during the week but am available on evenings in the week and all day weekends to walk dogs and pet sit. I love caring for pets, taking dogs on enjoyable walks, visiting parks, playing with animals, and providing attentive, reliable care while owners are away. I have a cat, and love playing with him.
“Alice is always on time and sends us a picture of our pup. We’re very comfortable with her sitting for us if we’re away or if we just need her to pop in for a dog walk. Would recommend!”

“I would highly recommend Jodie. She was very communicative and bonded well with my elderly dog (15). She kept me informed regularly including photos and left the house in a very good condition - clean and tidy. She appeared to be very responsive to my dog's needs and I returned to a happy dog. I have rebooked for my next trip away.”

“Eimear cared for my 3 dogs with such love and care, while I was on holiday. They literally became part of her family while I was away. I’ve come home to happy, relaxed and contented dogs. Thank you for proving us with an amazing experience.”

About: I’m a university gap-year student with over 4 years of experience caring for dogs. I have two dogs of my own, a Yorkie and a German Shepherd, so dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs ranging from French Bulldogs to Golden Retrievers, including extended stays of over a week. I always want dogs in my care to feel completely safe, loved and settled, so they barely notice their owners are away. I’ll give them the same unconditional love, attention and affection I give my own dogs, while going above and beyond in their care to keep them happy, comfortable and loved. I currently work part-time, usually for up to 6 hours a day, but I have a flexible schedule and can plan my shifts around bookings. When caring for your dog, I’ll spend as much of my time with them as possible, giving them plenty of attention, walks, playtime and company. I’m available for longer stays and overnight boarding, including weekends. When staying in your home, I’ll treat both your dog and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m very vigilant about doors, gates and your dog’s surroundings, and will follow their usual routines, feeding instructions and any specific needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is safe, happy and being well cared for.
“Chloe dogsat our dog Otto whilst my fiancé and I had to work for the day. We left Otto with Chloe for the day whilst she worked from home with her puppy Meera. I was given periodic updates throughout the day and felt comfortable that otto was being looked after and he was also taken out for a walk. I would definitely ask Chloe to help out with looking after otto again.”

“Alice was so amazing with my Des & Moo. Desmond is normally quite scared of strangers and cautious but he warmed to her straight away which says a lot about the level of care and attention Alice pays to the pets she looks after. Received lots of updates and pics throughout and didn’t once worry. Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind in the last few years. Friends and family have relied on me multiple times. I have taken care of big to small dogs and try to always train them while they are with me. I'm currently working from home, so I am able to look after my pet and others. I take them out for walks at least twice a day and dedicate time throughout the day for playing and training. I have a spacious house with a fenced garden with more than enough space for dogs to play. I live near the countryside so there's a few nice walks near by which I love taking dogs on.

“Chantal's daughter Paige looked after Rocky (our big GSP) and cat (Galaxy who is elderly) for 2 weeks while we went to the USA. Paige and her boyfriend did a really great job! We felt completely relaxed on holiday knowing Rocky and Galaxy were being well looked after and loved. Rocky took instantly to Paige and her boyfriend and seemed very comfortable. We loved that they took Rocky off lead on walks, explored the surrounding areas and catered to Rocky's separation anxiety by not leaving him at all. He was their shadow. We received some photos and videos and could see how happy Rocky was. They left the house in a clean and tidy state and went above and beyond by sorting my washing, vacuuming throughout and cutting the lawn! Such lovely, warm people who we will definitely use again.”

“Jessica was so great with our rescue June, who can be a bit anxious and is dog reactive. She followed all our instructions and asked questions about her routine to make sure June was happy and comfortable. She sent lots of photos and updates. Would definitely recommend to others!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Jo and Luke wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. They were incredibly responsive and communicative throughout, sending regular photos and updates which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. They were also happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, which made both us and Blue feel much more comfortable. Blue is currently recovering from an injury, so her care is more involved than usual. They took the time to understand her routine, listened carefully to all of our instructions, and showed great patience and care in looking after her needs. It was clear they genuinely wanted to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We came home to a clean and tidy house, and most importantly, Blue was happy, relaxed and content. We would happily book with them again.”

“Edit took excellent care of my sweet but nervous labradoodle for the weekend. Communication was excellent, Snowy immediately took to her and was a fantastic experience end to end. I would definitely use Edit's services again. Five stars.”

“Steph was a fantastic sitter. Our dog was very happy with her and was in great condition when we came back. We were kept updated with regular photos. She also left the house beautifully clean! Will definitely use again”

Hannah was excellent taking care of Watson, and he really liked her. She arrived exactly at the time she told us, walked Watson twice a day and sent us photos every day. She replied promptly if we sent her a message and we will definitely book Hannah again.
We have two rescue collies who can be a handful at times. Danielle is the only person we trust to look after them when family members aren’t available to assist. She is professional, kind and great with them both. She provides us with updates and M&M love her… so, it makes us feel so much more comfortable leaving them knowing they are in her hands. We cannot recommend her enough☺️

Maria looked after our 10 month old puppy Pippa overnight whilst we were at a wedding. Maria sent several updates whilst we were away and Pippa had a great time! We could really tell how much Maria loved Pippa and loves dogs in general which was really lovely :-) we would definitely recommend booking with Maria!

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 White Horse 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 Vale of White Horse, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £63 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 Vale of White Horse 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.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
