“Angela was so accommodating even when we booked last minute and had unexpected boiler problems. Our dog Junie seemed to love her instantly and we knew we were leaving her in good hands.”

“this was our first time using rover.com & we’re a bit unsure & apprehensive on what to expect. we needn’t have worried! Ellie is a lovely professional who obviously cares a lot for animals. She was an instant hit with our dog,willow. She took great care of her & kept us updated with messages & photos, would highly recommend & will definitely be contacting her again.”

“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.”

“Maria was amazing taking care of my dog Sammy. He was relaxed and happy with her. She took great care of Sammy, sent me updates and photos and the house was left clean and tidy.”


“Another amazing sit from Jess. Charlie had a fabulous weekend, he allowed Jess to continue his street walk training and confidence building without any challenges which was so lovely for us to know and see. We never ever worry when Jess is with charlie and so grateful we found the most dog loving, trustworthy, open and communicative person, oh and best photographer of a dog ever!! Charlie cant wait for your stay next month already❤️🙏”

“So pleased with leaving my little one with Leanne. First time I have left him for a night. I was kept up to date throughout as to how he was doing. He appeared happy when we returned. Home was left clean and tidy. Will definitely be using leanne again.”


“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.”

(With sometimes a shift at a second job 9:30-13:45 or 14:00-18:00) Unfortunately, I haven't got the capacity to be caring for pets in my own home.

“This is my second time I’ve had Kiah dog sit my boys and as always she was fantastic. Regular updates and my house was spotless when I got back home. Would highly recommend her!”

“Keyah was fantastic! She was really communicative and accommodating throughout, and took such great care of our dog, Rafferty. He clearly adored her! The house was spotless when we got back too. We’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”

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.

Hi, I’m Khaley! I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much happiness. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience looking after a range of different personalities—from playful, energetic pets to those who are a little more shy and need patience and reassurance. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm, comforting presence, I always adapt my care to suit them. 🐱 What you can expect from me: * Plenty of attention tailored to your pet * Playtime based on their personality * Feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, and general care * Regular updates with photos and messages so you have peace of mind * A calm, patient approach—especially for nervous or shy pets I’ve cared for many cats included in my pictures each with their own unique personalities—whether that’s following you around like a shadow, enjoying sunbathing in the garden, or just wanting a cosy cuddle. I love getting to know each pet and building that trust with them. 💬 Communication is really important to me, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I aim to respond quickly and keep everything as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. ✨ Why choose me? Because I genuinely care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to message me with any questions! I am pretty flexible in finding a time that works for you and your furr babies. I work shift work which means I am flexible in times I can visit your animals :) I would be caring for your pets at your home. I also offer a meet and greet so you can meet me before you go 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.
About: I’ve had dogs for the past 12 years growing up with 2 working cocker spaniels on a farm and have cared for them from puppyhood through adulthood. Family and friends regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, trusting me to give them the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m calm, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I also love exploring and being outdoors, so dogs in my care can expect fun walks, and plenty of stimulation alongside lots of affection. I am a Financial accountant who can work from home for up to two weeks. I tend to go to CrossFit in the mornings and if it’s suitable to the dog I will bring them along, followed by a walk before the day job starts. I like to spend some time in the garden with them at lunch to provide some midday stimulation, followed by a short 30 minute walk after work before settling down for the evening. I have a fenced garden, with no escape routes near Newbury town centre, with lots of options for walks around the local conservation trail and local greenham common.
“Jessica looked after our whippet Milo, an overnight stay at her home. Milo settled in well and had a great time, she kept us updated with feedback and photos. We were very impressed and would certainly recommend Jessica.”

I will happily look after any pets that you own, I have a car & so can drive around to different areas to look after pets & take the pets out in the car for walks if needed I currently work full time, so hoping to fit this into my evening weekdays & weekends when im not at work.

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.

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.
