“Glenda house sat with our two lurchers and was brilliant - arrived early, sent updates and photos every day and kept us informed of everything while we were away. We came back to two happy dogs and a clean house. Would highly recommend Glenda, we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Lovely couple took excellent care of Tilly, were so patient and caring with her even though Tilly is a very nervous girl. Brilliant communication by phone, text, photos and videos, very reliable, would book again. Thank you so much.”
“I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to Charlotte for looking after my dog, Ronnie, this Sunday. From the very first meet and greet, Charlotte showed a great level of professionalism while still being warm and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. Ronnie definitely has a mind of his own, but Charlotte was so calm, patient, and understanding with him throughout the day. Even though it was Mother’s Day, she kindly agreed to help me out, which I truly appreciate. On what was quite a busy day, she handled Ronnie really well, keeping him calm and gently distracting him when needed. It was lovely to see how comfortable Ronnie was with Charlotte, and she clearly understood his little quirks and personality. I’m very grateful for her help and would happily book her again in the future. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and reliable to look after their pet.”
About: I recently lost my 16 year old yorkie Daisy who was with us from a puppy. She was part of our family and we miss her terribly. Our home is too quiet now and I would love to take care ofyour fur baby if you would let me. We live in a bungalow with a secure fenced garden. We have no other pets or children around so your pet would be our priority whilst with us. We don't smoke and are both 63 years old. We have no boundaries in our home and your pets are allowed anywhere and on sofa or bed. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you. X I do not work as I'm a carer for my husband at home so I have plenty of spare time and love to give to your furbaby. Your pet would be well looked after at your home and I would follow any specific instructions that you give to me. I am very caring and trustworthy.
“This was my first experience with rover and Caan was too good. He was punctuation, good with my dog and was keeping me informed. He took nice care of my dog. I for sure will be willing him to come for next time.”
“Having never left Poppy overnight with a stranger before, Kim clearly looked after her so well. Kim sent photos and messages and treated Poppy like her own. Clearly a dog lover … thank you so much.”
About: Since I was little growing up with my parents we have always had pets in the house especially dogs . We have always had labradors in our family, one of them was called ‘Honey’ a passionate dog . Her days were filled with the joyous barks and wagging tails whenever she saw a ball. From morning walks to bedtime cuddles, she was always there, every moment was a celebration of the unconditional love that only dogs can provide. Over the last 8-10 years of looking after my own dogs as of taking care of my close friends dogs is a rewarding journey of patience and consistency, it’s a collaborative effort Expect nothing but love, care and attention 😊 Only house sitting and dog walking is available I’m currently working part time on a 0 hour contract so I’m pretty flexible at the moment so whatever works best for you I can work around it :) I ensure they’re in a comfortable environment, they’re provided with a good balanced diet, regular day to day exercise which is paramount for the pets health, try to address any behavioural issues but of all that nothing much love love love for the pet. Number one priority 🤗
“Sim was fantastic with Cookie. From the first meeting she took to him straight away. Today when I saw her she looked happy and tired so I know she had a great time. She allowed Sim to tickle her tummy which is rare so Cookie was very comfortable. We felt very happy and comfortable to have Sim in our home. Would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“Ben looked after our 14 year old Labrador Lolly for 3 days while we enjoyed a break to Ireland. He was very reliable, house was left clean and tidy, and Lolly was well looked after, I would recommend Ben to anyone looking for a fog sitter, Rachel”
About: I have recently been made redundant so I am very free!!! And would love to look after some pups in my free time now 😊 Grown up with a family cockapoo who doesn’t live with me so would love to share some puppy love. I can dog sit at home or happy to do drop ins or dog walks. I love going on walks and being outdoors but also love a cuddle with a cute pup. I’m super easy going so will be as flexible as I can. I work from home so can be very flexible on times, would love to go on dog walks during lunch, before and after work too Fenced garden, ring doorbell - never had any safety issues Happy to keep dog indoors and only take out on a lead too or can use a crate
“Thank you so much to both of you for looking after our little boy at such short notice! I cannot thank you enough. Rudy was welcomed with open arms, into a lovely home, and cared for brilliantly. He’s quite an apprehensive dog when meeting new people, but he soon settled in, and as Jas told me, stealing the show! See you again soon! Would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Cat looked after our dog and cat for 5 days and we couldn't be happier. They were so well taken care of and far more comfortable in their own home than they would have been in a kennel or cattery. Can't recommend Cat enough, will most definitely be booking her for the fur babies again!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reassurance I provide to both pets and their owners. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and individual needs to make sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable in my care. Whether it’s dog walking, day care, or overnight stays, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles, while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can relax knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to older dogs who may require a gentler pace, medication, or extra attention. I’m happy to follow training routines, reinforce good behaviours, and stick closely to your dog’s normal schedule to help them feel settled. Above all, I’m reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals. My goal is to provide a loving home-from-home experience where every dog feels cared for, and every owner has complete peace of mind. I have my own 2 and half year old working cocker spaniel, Margot who is adorable and great with other dogs. Working with the working breed has taught me a lot about being a dog owner and grown my experience alongside attending gunned training to support her breed. I work full time as a teacher however free most evenings and weekends to support the needs of you and your pet. I get provided school holidays that I can support looking after your pet, stress free! I provide a safe, loving, and home-from-home environment where every pet is treated like part of the family. I always follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any specific instructions, to help pets feel relaxed and settled. For walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. We enjoy walks in secure open fields, parks, and other dog-friendly areas, choosing locations that best suit each dog’s age, energy level, and recall ability. Safety is always my priority, and I only let dogs off lead with the owner’s permission and when it’s safe to do so. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar routine and environment, ensuring they receive lots of attention, playtime and enrichment , affection, and companionship while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I am a caring, responsible and reliable pet lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and cats. I am patient, attentive and happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding and loving care. I understand that every pet has different needs and I always make their safety and happiness my priority. I am also comfortable caring for young, senior and nervous pets. I have a flexible schedule and can arrange pet care around my daily routine. I am available for regular or occasional visits, walks and cat sitting, depending on the owner’s needs. I always put pets’ safety, comfort and wellbeing first. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep their home clean and secure, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, care and companionship.
About: I've had experience caring for dogs since I was 10 as I was gifted one. I often took care of her and went on walks with her. I have a calming effect on dogs and I instantly bond with a variety of dog types too. I have grew up with other pets too, such as cats, fish and rabbits. Also, I'm 26 years old and very active as I walk everyday. My long time bond with dogs in particular, and animals will help me to be set apart from other dog walkers. I'm hoping to get more experience with dogs as I love them a lot, and I believe I could be a good dog walker, but also extending to other animals such as cats. I'm currently available for most days throughout this month given I have enough notice. I love dogs and currently have a lot of free time, so it pairs well. In the pet owner's home, I'd ask to go over how they would like me to look after their dogs, and if there is anything I should be aware of before taking care of them.
“Amelia was very responsive to messages and helpful when organising the walk. She met me where I was at to walk the dog while I did some touristy stuff that didn’t allow dogs. She was polite, punctual and helpful. Would recommend :-)”

Cat looked after our dog and cat for 5 days and we couldn't be happier. They were so well taken care of and far more comfortable in their own home than they would have been in a kennel or cattery. Can't recommend Cat enough, will most definitely be booking her for the fur babies again!

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 Walsall 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 Walsall, the price of house sitting can vary between £23 and £64 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 Walsall 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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
