About: Loving every dog, big or small, lazy or crazy! 🐶🐾🤍 Hi, I’m Sadie! I’m a reliable and patient dog sitter based in Essex. I make sure every dog feels safe, calm, and sticks to their usual routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind. I have experience training dogs from puppies through to adulthood, so I’m confident handling energetic or strong dogs. I have currently studying part time so this is perfect for me. I am available a total of 4 days a week and study for the other 3. I feel that this fits into my life very well. If walking your dog, I will be okay whether big or small. I own a large and very strong dog myself so am experienced in walking strong dogs. I am also used to difficult and even reactive dogs and walk them on a regular basis.
“I highly recommend Hannah for looking after your dog! Lilah had the best day, and I was updated throughout the day on what she was up to! It really felt like leaving my dog with a relative, as Hannah and her partner treated her like their own! Will definitely be requesting Hannah’s services again!”

About: Hello! I'm Ayush, a passionate and dedicated pet sitter with over 5 years of experience in providing exceptional care for a wide range of pets. My deep love for animals and extensive background in pet care set me apart from other pet sitters, ensuring your furry family members receive the best possible care and attention. My Pet Care Journey From a young age, I have been surrounded by animals, fostering a deep connection and understanding of their needs. I have personally cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, each with their unique requirements and personalities. My journey into professional pet sitting began almost 5 years ago when I decided to turn my lifelong passion into a fulfilling career. Expertise and Training Behavioral Understanding: Through years of experience, I have developed a keen understanding of pet behavior. I can recognize signs of stress, anxiety, or illness, allowing me to provide timely and appropriate care. Since I am home all the time, I am taking care of all of them. I have a timetable for their food, treats and if any medication is needed. Compassion and Patience: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion, patience, and a lot of love. Reliable and Trustworthy: You can count on me to be punctual, dependable, and dedicated to providing the best care for your pets. Continuous Communication: I provide regular updates, photos, and videos, so you can see how your pets are doing and feel connected even when you're away.
About: With over 18 years of hands-on pet care experience, I offer calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Alongside this, my background as a professional performer on Dancing on Ice has given me a strong sense of discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail — qualities I bring into every home and with every pet I care for. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and always aim to create a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I prioritise clear communication and reliability so you always know your pet is in safe hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to walk preferences and home security. I take a calm, attentive approach and ensure pets are never rushed or overwhelmed. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Currently only taking short boarding requests due to my girl potentially being spayed in the near future. I’ve owned 3 dogs in my whole 28 years all of from different types of breed which had come with different challenges. As well as having experience with cat, rabbits and guinea pigs. Always willing to put the best effort mentally, physically and compassionately when it comes to my own animals so why not spread that further to those who may need a helping hand. I have experience with protection dogs and exotic cats including 14 Savannah Cats. I am currently fully flexible, available any day and any time that I am needed. I also drive so I can commute further if necessary. However, if boarding is requested they must be able to get along with other dogs. I am a home owner who knows plenty of woods, parks and walking spaces to roam. If I am providing a drop in I will ensure the home is left how I find it and that any animals needs are met even if there are any necessary special requirements.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Basildon
Tori and her partner Adam have looked after our miniature schnauzer Cosmo, on several occasion over the last two months including an overnight stay, and I can honestly say they have been nothing short of brilliant. Cosmo really enjoys his time there and they helped him to settle in very quickly. They were happy to maintain his normal routine while he stayed with them and they continuously sent updates and pictures showing him having fun.
Sydney was an excellent pet sitter for Buddy. She was friendly, reliable and clearly loves animals. Buddy was happy, relaxed and very well cared for while we were away. Communication was great and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommended.
Marie was very helpful both in the run up to Maggie's Doggy Day Care, during our Meet and Greet, as well as on the day; she asked me plenty of questions which made me sure Maggie would have a good time. Maggie almost refused to come back with me when I went to pick her up which I think is an even stronger review than anything I could say, so I'd definitely recommend her for anyone's Doggy Care needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Basildon on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 14,432 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Basildon. About 87% of Basildon sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Basildon commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in East of England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee.
