Richard and Emma were wonderful sitters, I will definately be using them again in the future, they looked after my 2 dogs for a week and I was nervous to have a stranger take care of them but they soon put my mind at ease. Very experienced with all breeds of dog and temperament (i have a reactive one!) they kept me up to date with video's and messages so i knew the dogs were having a great time! I came back to 2 very happy pups and a tidy house, Highly recommended!

First time I've ever left the dogs with anyone and I couldn't have chosen someone better. The girls had the best time, enjoyed walking and relaxing with David. I was kept up to date with photos too, which was lovely. Thank you. Will definitely be booking again.

About: Hi, I’m Abby, I'm 22 years old and love dogs!! I had many dogs growing up and was in charge of looking after them, but unfortunately I can't have any pets now due to my lifestyle. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I love going for walks with your furry friends - I live right next to a woodland area, which is perfect for going on walks. I am a full-time nurse, working 4 days/week, and my schedule does vary by the week, but the calendar will be updated regularly. I am a full-time nurse, so I spend 4 days/week working at the hospital, however when I am not on working, I am often available. I would love to spend my days off looking after your furry friends, walking them during the day and keeping them busy! I live in a home with a small enclosed garden. My home is right next to a large park/woodland area with many paths and routes to walk your dogs.

George was really understanding about Phoebe's delicate nature, and loved and looked after her as I would do. He is an excellent house guest, and I would highly recommend him. I shall be booking George again when I next go away.

Blanka was a superstar dog sitter. She looked after 2 golden retrievers for us for 7 hrs so we could go to a wedding and obviously loves dogs. Fed and watered them and sent lots of photos. Would thoroughly recommend her and hope to use her services again!

About: 🐾 I’ve looked after dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds through pet sitting and walking services, and always focus on building trust, so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. 🦮 Before recently moving back to Plymouth, I spent 2 years pet sitting and dog walking for regular clients in Australia, and prior to that I volunteered at a local animal shelter for over 8 years, walking dogs with a wide range of temperaments and backgrounds. 🐾 I am a qualified health professional by trade so have passed regular DBS checks (I am currently taking a break from the day job, so I can give my full attention to pet sitting). My partner, Zach is also always around to help - we had a joint pet sitting account in Aus. He also has a full DBS & police check. 🐕‍🦺 Having grown up with an array of pets, I have a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. • I currently have plenty of availability for 1:1 pet care and would love to help out with your furry friend. Regular updates and communication with owners are guaranteed. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions! • I am home full time - so my day would be completely devoted to looking after your furry friend. They would be left at home for minimal time (no more than 1-2hrs) - only when popping to the shops etc. I have a fenced garden and a large house with a lane for walking dogs and a park nearby. I can drive, so I also love to take dogs out for a variety of different walks to different locations, including the beach. We have outdoor cats at home but they aren’t fussed by other animals.

As a first time for having someone other than family look after our dog Bailey, I was a little nervous/anxious about the whole thing. But from our first meeting to the end of the actual booking I have been so impressed by India, I honestly have nothing but praise and gratitude for her. Bailey absolutely loves her, India has a caring warmth about her which which radiates. We were away through the heat wave and India kept us fully updated, she even brought her own cooling mat to help Bailey whilst also conversing with us if there was anything we usually do to keep Bailey cool. We were sent photos and given updates and knew we could contact India if we had any cocerns. India left our home exactly how she found it and it was great to come home and not worry about cleaning or stripping beds as India had done it for the room she stayed in. We can not recommend India enough and would be more than happy to book her again if we manage to get away! Thank you India x

Joe's communication was great. I was impressed with his preliminary questions about our dogs so that he knew how to give them the best care while we were away. He was reliable and, most importantly of all, we came back to two happy & relaxed dogs. Highly recommended!

About: My experience with just dealing with pets is having my own animals from young. I've had fish, hamster, guinea pigs and dogs. My first dog was a rescued Boxer, Ruben. My first proper puppy was a Pug, Dexter, then we rescued Alfie another Pug at the same age as Dexter (around 4yrs.) My house sitting and pet experience was living in an annexe above my landladys garage. She had a working cocker, Zeva. She'd trust me with looking after her house and Zeva while she had to go away for work or on holiday. That was over 2yrs of me living there. I even took Zeva away with my boyfriend and I as we went to Bournemouth for a weekend I was looking after her. We got a pet friendly accomodation and she had the best time on the beach and in the sea playing with her ball. I work 3 days a week, so have plenty of time for sitting and walking pets. I like to walk daily, so dog walking is well suited with my lifestyle. I care for pets in an owners home by communicating with the owners in the first instance to see what responsibilities they expect of their sitter to make sure their animals are in perfect care.

Hi Sam, thank you so much for looking after Maui yesterday! We just moved to new place so my golden is still very unsure of new places, but Maui loved Sam from the very first initial meeting! Sam sent me pictures throughout the day and Maui looked very happy and spoilt with cuddles! 100% recommend Sam and we will be reaching out soon!

Amy is absolutely lovely, trustworthy, reliable, and we would not hesitate to recommend her. Prior to our booking, Amy popped over to our house so that we could all meet and talk through Bob's daily routine etc, we knew straight away that she was going to be perfect. She spent the whole day with Bob, providing us with lots of updates and pictures. They had as great time together, and we came home to a very happy and contented dog!

Sophie is trustworthy, helpful, reliable and caring. She took care of my dog, whilst also looking after my home, when I was away. I was kept updated at all times and felt very reassured and confident to leave all that's precious to me in her care.

In the end due to one thing and another Kizzie only stayed 2 nights but it was wonderful and calming me to know that my darling Maggie was being looked after so well while I was unexpectedly detained in hospital. I can recommend Kizzie and will certainly use her in the future should the situation arise.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Devon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in West Devon on Rover is £47.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 431 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Devon. 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 Devon 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 Devon 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
