We can’t recommend Robyn highly enough—she was absolutely amazing from the very first meeting with our dogs to the dog-sitting in our home. Everything about her put us at ease, knowing our girls were in the best hands. Robyn kept us updated with regular communication and videos, was punctual, and had such a lovely demeanor. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Robyn!

How fabulous is Ellie?! The dogs absolutely warmed to her right away. She took great care of them and I had piece of mind while I was out. Ellie sent pictures over the course of the evening. Ellie was flexible in making time in her calendar to sit with us. Great communication too, both prior to her visit and during. We look forward to seeing her again. Thank you, Ellie!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Kiah, she took the time to come over and meet my dogs before staying and I felt so comfortable leaving her with them. My house was exactly the way I left it and she sent me regular updates about the dogs. Would strongly recommend her to anyone and I certainly will be using her again in the future x

Perfect Rover sitters!! Angela and Dave were so wonderful with Jack, giving him the utmost care and love while they were here. It was clear from the photos we had on our trip that Jack also loved being with them and was relaxed, which for us is the most important thing. As if that wasn’t enough, Angela and Dave also looked after our house as if it were their own, leaving it tidy and even remembering to take the bins out when I forgot 😅 highly recommended, a fantastic, lovely couple and excellent sitters who will give your dog the best care you could hope for! Thank you both!

Wilbur had a great time with Maria. He warmed to her from the very first meeting which really put me at ease and meant I could enjoy the first weekend leaving him with no worries. He had some lovely walks and a little trip to a coffee shop! Maria kept me updated with lots of photos and videos of their adventures. Thanks so much Maria, I’d be really happy for you to look after Wilbur again

About: I’ve lived with dogs and other animals my entire life, so I am very much an animal lover at heart. I love big and small breeds so would be happy to look after any and I will carefully abide by any requirements you have (medicine, feeding times, walking times and lengths of walks,etc.) I have also cared for dogs with difficulties and am happy to help with this too. I have previous work experience as a leading kennel hand, however I prefer the care given to pets when cared for by a trusted pet sitter hence why I now offer these services myself. I am used to caring for plenty of my own pets on a day to day basis and am home focusing on art majority of the time, so love to have the company of a furry friend and make sure they have a fabulous time too! I also have a family member (also fellow animal lover) in the household who is working from home so it is very easy for us to give our full attention and care to any animals. This means I am also available nights/evenings to house sit with pets. We have a fenced in garden so it’s all safe and plenty of local areas to walk, wether your dog prefers little streams or open fields and wooded areas! Dogs are also allowed anywhere in the house so they feel more comfortable and will hardly ever be left alone, if they even are.

Celente is a great sitter. She is very calm and friendly and our nervous rescue Charlie took to her straight away. She follows all of our (sometimes strange!) Instructions always and we have great peace of mind when she sits for Charlie. Great communication and updates and we would highly recommend.

About: I’m an animal lover with experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. I’m happy to provide dog walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, with plenty of time for play, enrichment, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their usual routine, so I’m careful to follow your instructions around feeding, medication, exercise and anything else that helps your pet feel settled. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my priority, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule, working remote the majority of the week, and can fit pet care around my existing commitments. I’m able to offer dog walks and drop in visits during the week, as well as pet sitting when arranged in advance. I’m organised and reliable, and I make sure I have plenty of time for each visit rather than rushing between pets. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and will always prioritise their needs, including feeding, exercise, play and companionship. I provide care in the pet owner’s home, allowing pets to stay in their familiar surroundings and keep to their normal routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality and boundaries before providing care. I’m responsible, respectful and safety conscious. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, medication, walks, access to the home and any specific routines. I make sure doors, gates and windows are secure and that pets are safe before leaving. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout your pet’s care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have had a pet dog and 3 pet cats since the age of 11 and have grown up to love animals of every kind. I am well experienced in caring for and understanding animal temperament, and improving through play and training. I am excited for my Rover journey and look forward to welcoming your pets❤️ I currently work as cabin crew so my schedule can vary from week to week. When I am not flying, my days off are completely free with availability for any times. I have a fenced garden and a pet free home currently, so your fur babies can be free and feel comfortable roaming around my home and garden safely. I am happy to travel to your homes and pet sit in your own home also.

Nicola did a wonderful job looking after Rasmus the cat and taking care of our house, the plants, etc. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for pet sitters and/or house sitting. Not only did she look after our cat and the house beautifully, she went above and beyond, dealing with extra issues that came up along the way and even thinking of asking us if we needed anything like milk and bread for our return. She left the house spotless for us which was absolutely lovely to come back to. During our absence, she kept me posted with pictures and videos and we all noticed how happy Rasmus looked--he obviously adores Nicola! We would be delighted to have Nicola permanently as our cat/house sitter and really hope she will come back next time.

About: I absolutely love dogs, to the point that I'm considering dog caring as a new career option. I have owned a pedigree Westie for the last five years since he was a puppy and took him to puppy training classes locally. I am very friendly and enjoy meeting people as well as getting to know their dogs and often chat to other owners and stroke their dogs when out walking my own. We have lots of great walks nearby and I also love exploring! I have a dog-flap installed so your dog can access a fenced garden as they need throughout the day so that's one less thing for them to worry about. I am relaxed and happy to welcome your dog as if this is their own home from home. We're looking forward to meeting you.

About: I’ve always had animals around me through my family, particularly dogs, and have been involved in looking after them over the years. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with having a pet, from feeding and walks to playtime, keeping them company and making sure they’re settled and comfortable. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and tend to be quite attentive to them. I think it’s important to pay attention to their individual personalities and routines rather than treating every pet the same. Some animals are very sociable and want lots of attention, while others are more independent or take a little longer to feel comfortable with someone new. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in visit, looking after them in their own home or having them stay with me, I’d make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have, so there’s as little disruption to their normal day as the possible. I work Monday to Friday and work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me more flexibility for pet care during the week. On my work-from-home days, I’m able to fit in walks or drop-in visits and can also provide company during the day. Outside of work, I’m generally available in the evenings and at weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and fit in walks, visits or longer stays depending on what you need. My schedule means I can offer a good mix of weekday and weekend availability while still keeping pet care manageable alongside my usual routine. I want pets to feel comfortable and settled, whether they’re staying with me or I’m looking after them in their own home. I’d always take the time to understand their usual routine, personality and any specific instructions from their owner before looking after them. In my home, I’d make sure they have a calm, safe space and would keep an eye on them throughout their stay. I’d also follow any rules around food, walks, sleeping arrangements or anything else they’re used to. For walks and drop-ins, I’d be mindful of their surroundings and make sure they’re safe and supervised at all times. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility. I’d treat every animal with patience and care, and I’m happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know how their pet is doing while they’re away.

Leanne looked after my 4 month old pup and my home all day. My pup can be a handful but Leanne was very patient and understanding. She played with her in the garden and taken her out for a couple of walks. Very friendly, trustworthy and reliable. My booking was last minute and Leanne was very accommodating. Will definitely rebook! Thanks Leanne 😊

FAQs for House Sitting – West Berkshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in West Berkshire on Rover is £36.8 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 2,905 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Berkshire. 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 West Berkshire 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 West Berkshire 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. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
