“This is the second time we’ve used Riddhi and she was as fantastic as ever! Professional, punctual and our dog was very excited to have her back - he loves her! She watched our dog for a couple of days in my house and was very respectful of our property. She kept us updated with pictures which were great to see. We’d book Riddhi again and would definitely recommend her!”
“Jac had a lovely day with Amanda and we came back to a very happy boy. Amanda kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures of how he was getting on. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Alice was great with Dobby. She kept us updated with photos & messages and he was clearly happy on our return. We would definitely recommend Alice and will be using her services again - thank you”
“Rachael did a week of overnight cat sitter whilst we were away on holiday. We usually have family watch our cats but no one was free so we were obviously nervous to try someone new. However Rachael exceeded our expectations. The cats seemed really happy when we got home which is also a good sign that they’ve been well taken care of, and the house even looked more sparkling clean than we left it. She made sure to give us lots of updates and daily photos. Would recommend Rachael for sure!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and other pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing with them and keeping them company while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient and attentive, and I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m also respectful and responsible when staying in someone else’s home and will keep owners updated while they’re away I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting, including overnight stays, as well as drop-in visits. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and companionship. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I will always follow their normal routine and any instructions provided. I’ll make sure pets are fed, exercised and given plenty of attention while keeping their environment clean, comfortable and secure. I’m respectful of other people’s homes and will keep owners updated so they can feel reassured that their pets and home are being well looked after.
“We could not have been more happy with Kaye. She has been a wonderful companion to our old and crumbly dog whilst we stayed away for a week. He needs to take regular medications and be managed very carefully and Kaye was fantastic. She gave us regular updates which was very reassuring. And most importantly our dog was healthy and happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Kaye to look after your pets.”
“Charlotte was great. Looking after my 2 labs for the afternoon. Even though I only booked her a few days before she took time to come round & meet the dogs prior to sitting. Additionally Charlotte sent me updates through the day. Would definitely recommend & use again”
“Aimee is a lovely girl , she came to meet Rosie a couple of weeks before to meet Rosie and then a week before she took her for a walk to get to know her. And on the day she sent us lots of pictures to show us how they were getting on. I will be definitely booking Amy again”
“Susie was absolutely wonderful with Marley. She took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout our time away with the cutest photos, which was so lovely to see and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear how happy and well looked after Marley was, and we’re so grateful to Susie for giving him so much love and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. 🥰🐾”
“We needed someone to house sit our two dogs Holly and Lulu over the weekend at very short notice. Rebecca was able to do this and arrived promptly on Saturday morning. She looked after our dogs very well sending us frequent updates and photographs which reassured us that the dogs were fine. We are happy to recommend Rebecca and hope to use her again sometime.”
“Andy was so good with our dogs Oskar and Olive. Oskar is usually a bit wary of strangers, however Oskar immediately warmed to Andy. Andy stayed in our house with the dogs and was extremely attentive, not only to the dogs but also our house. I would highly recommend Andy to care for your dog.”
“Our first time using a pet sitter to stay in the house to look after our cat. Ryan is really polite and caring and provided updates on our cat. He is really communicative, and obviously loves cats (and all animals). We would happily rebook in the future.”
“Alina is so lovely and was great with our two dogs and cat . They adored her. We would highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking. She sent regular updates and photos and even watered my plants. Such a great sitter.”
About: I’ve recently moved from South Africa where we had 2 dogs and 2 cats. This was just so much fun to come home and play with our dogs with my toddler. Since coming to the UK unfortunately we don’t have space for pets and I miss the companionship. I think people are also getting tired of me stopping them and asking if I can pet their dog! I currently work full time but trying to do dog walking on my off time and weekends just to get out to the park. I especially want to take this up over the weekend but as I become more regular I might move that to evening after work as I want to make sure that my time off is dedicated to my time with the doggies. I just offer dog walking so I would just go to the local parks for a nice long walk and to get a good run/walk in
“Mihaela was great! She came to meet Ernie before she looked after him. She was prompt and communicative. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the day. Her and Ernie had a great day together. Would definitely use her again in the future”
“Hannah and Stuart were fantastic dog sitters for Teddy. Communication was great throughout, and Teddy clearly enjoyed their company. We felt at ease knowing he was being well looked after and would happily recommend them to others.”
About: Experience You Can Trust I bring more than just a love for dogs. I bring real hands on experience and a genuine understanding of what it means to care for them. Having cared for two rescue dogs throughout their lives, I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs and little quirks. I’m patient, attentive and committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for while you’re away. For me, dog sitting isn’t simply a job. It’s about treating your dog as I would my own. I’m available for dog walks from 6pm on weekdays after work. At weekends, I’m available anytime for dog walks at your request. I’m also available for house sitting from Friday evening through to Sunday, giving your dog plenty of company and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow their usual feeding, walking and bedtime routines, give them plenty of attention and companionship, and make sure they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or needs your pet has.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Wokingham is £35

Lucy was great at keeping us up to date and took very good care of our two dogs and the house. One of our dogs is particularly nervous, but she was great with him and very patient. We came back to two very happy dogs. we would absolutely ask her to watch them again.
Sabina is very warm, friendly and easy to communicate with. She looked our dog for the bank holiday weekend and kept us regularly updated. She took him on a lovely long walk and we appreciated the messages. We knew our dog was in very capable hands and would definitely use Sabina to doggysit again. Thanks Sabina!
Gavin has looked after our two dogs on two separate occasions whilst we were away on holiday during June 2026. He took the time to meet the dogs before looking after them. Gavin is confident around the dogs, reliable and trustworthy and we wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to others. We hope to use his services again in the near future.
Chenyan was excellent house sitting Oskar!! The first time we had used a house sitter, but she made us feel really confident that she would (and did!) take great care of him. Updates were great, asked a lot of questions to make sure she knew exactly what to do and when we got back he was so happy and relaxed, which was great for us. Would totally recommend her to look after your pet.
Alex was perfect. Really friendly and accommodating with planning, very easy to talk to. She's obviously a real animal lover, Omelette is a bit of an awkward dog at the best of times but made fast friends with him and understood and dealt excellently with his reactivity issues. We got regular photos and updates and could see he was having a great time. On top of that Alex left the house completely spotless and put the wash on before she left which made a much softer landing for us coming back from holiday. I couldn't recommend Alex enough.
Anna is so lovely and super professional from the first minute we got in contact, and when Bear met her for the first time he ran up to her like he's known her for ages! I felt reassured that Bear was in safe and caring hands - Anna gave a good amount of updates and was always responsive. I'd recommend her to anyone!
Rebecca was amazing looking after our dog Cosmo and cat as well! She came round to meet before the booking which was a lovely touch, and our dog settled so well with her. It was lovely knowing he was in safe hands and not having to worry on our day out! Will definitely book with her again :)
Sydney looked after our two cats wonderfully well again. She’s very good at keeping us updated on them. This time one of them had got into a little bit of a fight and she noticed straight away and got in touch. A quick cleanup at the vets and he was fine the next day. Well done for being on top of it!

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 Wokingham 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 Wokingham 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
