“Caitlin was so helpful and professional accommodating myself while I was visiting her area to look after my dog while I went in training I was so unsure of time scales. Keiko absolutely loved her gate responding 2 days together you can tell Caitlin is so compassionate about animals and my little fluff ball was well walked and cared for. Thankyou so much 🫶🏼”
“Kieran was great with our old boy Tinker, and was a very considerate house guest. Being new to Rover we were a little worried having someone we didn’t know in the house but he gave us plenty of pupdates, left the house clean and tidy with great communication. We would be happy to use Kieran again as Tinks was very happy when we got home. Thank you 🙏🏻”
“Tracey and Maya took excellent care of our elderly dog and home, we had daily updates with pictures and I think the dog had a better time than we did! House left immaculate and doggy very happy and misses them already. 100% recommend and would use again x”
“What a lovely person Charlotte is. Our dog Archie had a marvellous time, and we are so pleased that he was able to be looked after in his own home. Charlotte kept everything clean and tidy, will definitely be asking her to stay again.”
“Eloise communicated brilliantly throughout the process and the meet and greet helped put our minds at ease beforehand. She sent photos to show Clarence was happy and safe, which again kept our minds at ease. If ever needed we will look at booking her again.”
“Nickala stayed in our home to look after our rescue dog while we went away for the night. We could not bear the thought of putting Maisie into a kennels as she has already experienced being abandoned and living her life on the streets. Nickala has taken good care of Maisie and also respected our home. She has made the whole experience easy and stress free which has reassured us about letting her into our home and trusting her with our pet.”

“Millie was a great dog sitter in our home. Millie took the time to do two pre-visits to be confident she knew the dogs before our holiday. When we were away we had lots of updates on how they both were doing. She rearranged her work shifts in order to spend more time with them. The house was very today when returned. I would highly recommend Millie!!”
“Donna-lee was especially good. Can't find any fault with her, Star looks well and happy the house was clean and tidy plus we reports on Star every day we were away. Very thankful.”
“Service beyond our expectations. Sophie has been incredible for our last minute booking. Constant communication, regular photo updates and 4 happy animals when we got home. Thank you Sophie! You rescued our holiday 😁”
About: Throughout my life, I have always had pets, especially cats. I have cared for one, two or even three cats at a time. I have also looked after friends’ cats and dogs, including a Doberman and three Boston Terriers. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to provide them with care, attention, and companionship. I can have pets over night, every night and on my days off, mostly Thursday and Sunday, on the days off I have lots of time to spend with little furry friends 🧡 I have secured balcony there cats can enjoy sunshine and watching birds, I love cuddling them and play with them. I love cats and have their trust
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I spent six months volunteering at a dog rescue centre in Barbados, where I helped care for rescue dogs of different ages, sizes and backgrounds. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, general care and, of course, giving them plenty of love and attention. At home, my mum and I have two dogs of our own, including a rescue dog we brought home from Barbados, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve also regularly dog sat for friends and family, as well as caring for cats while family members have been away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is with someone you can trust, and I’ll always treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work a mixture of locally and from home, so my routine varies depending on the day. On my local working days, pets will be cared for in the morning before I leave, including feeding, toilet breaks and a walk where needed. As I work locally, I’m able to come home during the day, so dogs would need to be comfortable being left for up to around 4 hours at a time. I’m then home from around 5:30pm for the evening, with plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles and attention. On my work-from-home days, I’ll be home all day with the pets, so they’ll have plenty of company and attention throughout the day, as well as their usual walks, feeding and toilet breaks. At weekends, I’m fully available to spend my time with the animals in my care and will always do my best to keep to their normal routine. 🐾 I’ll always look after your pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to the routine they’re used to. I’m happy to follow whatever routine you normally have, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, toilet breaks or just lots of cuddles and attention! I know every pet is different, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and what they like. I’m also more than happy to send photos and little updates while you’re away, so you know they’re happy, settled and being well looked after.
About: Hello, my name is Luke. Thank you for your interest and wanting to find out more about me. Since I was a kid I've been brought up with pets and cared for them, e.g. ensured fresh food and water, walked them, kept their personal hygiene by brushing their hair and bathing ... - anything that the animals needs to be happy and well looked after. At the age of 16 I took my passion for animals further and started four years of animal management at College. I have gained more valuable experience with looking after all sort of animals, including dogs and making them feel comfortable around me. At the same time I started looking after my familys and friends dogs - just for a walk or for longer periods, for example holidays. Despite having my own daily schedule, the animal always gets 100% attention and all instructions by the owner are followed. I love all dog sizes and their different personalities ❤️ It is important to me to meet the dog and owner beforehand, take notes and provide regular updates. I am currently seeking a change of career into animal care and have a flexible working schedule to fit around any requirements. Pet care would also boost my fitness and mental well-being. I am sharing a two bed house with my partner. There is with a fenced garden at the rear, facing a big open field. There is plenty of space in the house for the dog to either socialise or have some quiet time.

“Joanne looked after our young dog really well. She was attentive to Jodie’s need not to be left. They clearly had fun together and we came home to a healthy, happy dog. She looked after our house with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. Joanne kept us well informed about both Jodie and other things going on. We would here no hesitation in using her again or recommending her”

“Phoebe was absolutely fantastic! She looked after my puppy Charlotte 3 days in a row while I was sitting exams. She was extremely flexible and took the booking last minute as well as changing times here and there. Above all she was great with my pup Charlotte. She fed her, played with her and kept me updated with pics and videos. Charlotte is normally a nervous pup and has some separation anxiety but she was always really eager to go with Phoebe and ran straight up to her excited so I know she was always treated well :). I would 100% recommend Phoebe as your fist choice if you want a happy pooch.”
About: License No: 26/01074/AWBH Hi, I'm Oli! While I am just starting out with professional pet sitting, I have loved, owned, and cared for animals my entire life.

I also have my own 7 years old Beagle named Barney, so your pup will have a very friendly, experienced companion to hang out with.

You can have total peace of mind knowing they are in a great environment, as I have a spacious house with plenty of room for dogs to relax and stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden that is absolutely perfect for zoomies and playing fetch.

Ngoc was absolutely wonderful with Bear and truly spoiled him over the last two weeks. She handled him so well on his walks and really understood him - when Bear decided to sit down to watch over his territory, she was patient and let him enjoy the moment. Bear felt so comfortable with her that he even slept upstairs with her, which says everything. While we were away, Ngoc sent us daily updates and photos which put our minds completely at ease. We could see Bear was not only cared for exceptionally well, but was genuinely happy and loved. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Ngoc to anyone. Thank you so much, Ngoc!.
Vania was absolutely brilliant with Bear. He was happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for the entire time. She also left the house spotless and tidy. Communication was excellent too. She sent us regular photo updates while we were away, which really put our minds at ease. We’d 100% book Vania again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Bryher looked after our 2 French bull dogs. She provided daily walks for both of them and enrichment and lots of cuddles. She kept in contact with us and provided photos to reassure us that our doggies were settled and happy. She kept to the routine and also left our house in the way that she found it, clean and tidy. I Will definitely book her again and our doggies loved her!!
Pam is incredibly caring and genuinely loves what she does — I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She followed all care instructions perfectly and kept us updated every single day. When we returned, she even gave us a lovely diary detailing everything she and our dog had done together while we were away. Pam is truly one of the best dog sitters in the area.

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 Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough, the price of house sitting can vary between £23 and £41 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 Wellingborough 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.
