“Rhi was so polite and caring. She was amazing with Bertie. I came home to a very happy puppy. Have already planned for her to come again. Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much Rhi, it was so nice not having to worry about my little one. Cannot thank you enough”

“When I first met Nell I knew that my dog would be in good hands. Good communication and happy when plans changed due to my disorganised son! Would recommend and will definitely try to use again if she is free.”

“Izzy has been great with our new puppy who absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she walks through the door. She has remembered and taken into account every little detail we have told her about our puppy and kept that in mind whilst looking after him. I know he has such a great time every time she is here.”


“We’re so glad we found Cassie! We felt so at ease knowing our cat was being looked after by her. She was great at giving us updates and we came home from our holiday to a very happy and loved little cat.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Tamara. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals. She followed all my dog’s routines, gave them so much attention, and sent regular updates that made me feel completely reassured. I returned to a clean home and very happy dogs. Tamara goes above and beyond, she’s truly exceptional! Will definitely be recommending Tamara to our friends and booking with her again! Thank you Tamara.”

“Zoe came and looked after our Labrador and cat on New Year’s Eve at our house. She was incredible. Was very professional with everything that she did, we had no problems and would 100% use Zoe again. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”


About: I’ve owned dogs and other animals my whole life, training them from both 8 week old puppies and rescue dogs of various ages. I currently don’t have the capacity to own my own pet but still want that unconditional human animal interaction. I’m more than happy to train young pets and take your pets on as long a walk as you’d like. I’m new to the pet sitter career but I’ve been looking after pets unpaid my whole life. I also work in conservation so my heart is in animals and wildlife. I’m currently working 9-5 weekdays in conservation but I can give my whole weekend and Friday evening to your dog, taking it on walks, training it or just letting it chill out. I live in a very quiet area with my partner with a garden and a big green behind my house. Your dog would even have its own sanctuary bedroom for it to have some of its own time to decompress if needed. I have a fenced garden but unfortunately not dog proof yet but I can take your dog on plenty of walks and runs and out on the village green on a lead. Your dog would be my main priority and I wouldn’t leave it alone if you didn’t want me to.
“Julie house sat for us while we were gone for 4 days. She was able to manage both of our high energy dogs on daily walks and made an effort to stick to their normal routine. I would recommend her for anybody looking for pet care and will definitely use her again when we go out of town!”

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Imogen is a wonderful pet sitter and dog walker. She is such a kind, lovely gentle soul. Our little puppy absolutely adores her. It’s such a relief knowing our little pup is with someone kind and animal focused. She’s house sit for us and walked our little pup. Taking care of his every need. Coming home to a calm happy puppy is the best feeling. Can’t thank you enough will definitely be inviting Imogen over when River needs a sitter again.”

About: I’ve had my own dog for five wonderful years, and he truly opened my heart to all living creatures. We trained him ourselves from a puppy, and he has amazing recall and lovely manners. That experience taught me patience, consistency, and how important trust is with dogs. I regularly look after friends’ dogs of all sizes, small, medium, and large and I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels. I provide daily walks once or twice a day, sometimes including a run for more active dogs, and longer walks at the weekend for extra adventure and stimulation. Your dog would be cared for as if they were my own, with attention, affection, and plenty of exercise. 🐾 As I work from home, dogs in my care are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. I tailor walks to each dog’s needs, offering one or two walks daily depending on their routine and energy levels. There are always plenty of cuddles, attention and gentle supervision.. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a calm, secure and loving environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences and any special requirements so they feel settled and comfortable. I maintain consistent boundaries, supervise interactions, and ensure doors and outdoor spaces are secure at all times. Walks are carried out safely, with close attention to surroundings and other dogs. I only allow off-lead time where recall is reliable and agreed with the owner.🐾

About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.
About: I am an animal lover and hold my pet first aid and CPR certificate. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors. I am comfortable with administering oral medications, and providing extra attention for pets with additional needs. I also have experience in caring for cats of a range of ages from energetic kittens to relaxed older cats. I also have personal reptiles too, owning two tortoises and a leopard gecko My experience, reliability, and love for animals help me create a safe and happy environment for your animals. I am currently completing my higher education course in biology. This is all done online and at my own pace, so I will be home with your pet during the day to keep them company but flexible to make lots of time for walks and playtime! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every visit. I create a secure environment by keeping pets supervised, following your pets usual routines, and ensuring they have fresh water, meals, and plenty of love and attention. I respect each pet’s individual needs and personality, making sure they feel calm, happy, and cared for at all times.
“Jez was simply amazing. Otis was thoroughly looked after as to was our house. We had regular updates and photos and felt everything was in great hands whilst we were away. Thank you Jez!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, caring for my own and family and friends pets. I grew up on a farm and have loads of experience with animals. I’m currently working on bank as a HCA at Norfolk and Norwich hospital so can be very flexible and pick and choose shifts that work around my other duties. I have a lot of experience with animals having grown up on a farm and in particular dogs as I grew up with them being around all the time!
“We had such a great holiday and having David stay with our dog made it extra great! We could tell right away from meeting him before we left that he was exactly the type of person we wanted to stay at our home and look after our dog Gibson. It can a bit of a nervous experience leaving your home and pet with someone, but you will have zero worries with David at the helm! He's responsible, reliable and had an affinity with our dog. He even kept my squirrel snack jar topped up for my little garden buddies. The house was well looked after and looked like it did when we left. We appreciate him so much and will for sure book him again. Amazing person! Thank you so much David!”


About: I've been a pet owner my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, particularly large, high-energy breeds that require plenty of exercise and attention. I'm very active and enjoy long walks, outdoor adventures, and keeping dogs engaged and happy. I provide a high standard of care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I have recently moved back from South Korea where I have been an international school teacher for many years. I currently tutor online and am looking for ways to enjoy time in different cities/ have a change in pace of life! I have lots of time to care for pets during my daily schedule. I currently have no pets so want to use my energy and love to care for others. Due to a adventurous pet dog as a child, I am aware of the challenges that can be faced with energetic, big dogs so I will use this experience to keep your pets safe.

About: • I'm an experienced live-in dog and house sitter who offers calm, consistent care, particularly for nervous, sensitive or rescue dogs who need patience and reassurance while their owners are away. • I've gained my experience through many successful house and pet sits, both independently and through TrustedHousesitters (where owners have consistently left excellent reviews). • Some dogs make friends straight away. Others need a little more time. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and helping them feel safe, comfortable and settled while you're away. • I work online (part-time), so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home. This is ideal for dogs who are used to having company or who need a little longer to settle. • I love being outdoors and usually walk twice a day myself. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle sniff around the neighbourhood, I'm happy to adapt to whatever suits them best. • I always stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine, whether that's favourite walking routes, regular mealtimes or simply having a cuddle on the sofa. • I'm based in Colchester and regularly travel throughout London and the South East, with availability across the UK for longer bookings. • I've completed Canine First Aid training and I'm continuing to learn more about canine behaviour and body language because I genuinely enjoy understanding what makes each dog tick. • One of the reasons I started house and pet sitting is that my own rescue dog had such a lasting impact on me. She taught me the value of patience and consistency. After she died, I wasn't ready for another dog of my own, and looking after other people's dogs became a way to stay connected to the animals I love. • I know it's hard leaving your dog with someone new. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip, and I'll always ask how often you'd like to hear from me. * I work online, so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home with them. * Morning walks, longer afternoon adventures or evening strolls, I can easily adapt to whatever routine your dog is used to. * I try to keep life as familiar as possible while you're away, so I do my best to follow your dog's usual routine for walks, meals, playtime and downtime. * I offer live-in dog and house sitting for overnight stays, weekends, holidays and longer bookings throughout the year. * Before a sit, I like to arrange a quick video call so we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure you feel completely comfortable before you head away. * Before each sit, I take the time to understand your dog's usual routine, from walks and mealtimes to favourite sleeping spots and the little things that help them feel settled. * I work online part-time, so I'm able to spend much of the day at home, providing companionship and helping your dog settle into their usual routine. * I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages while you're away. I'll also ask how often you'd like to hear from me, so you can choose the level of contact that feels right for you. * I genuinely enjoy looking after people's homes and take pride in treating every property with the same care and respect I would my own. I see myself as a temporary guardian of your home as well as your dog, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it.
About: I’ve had two cats for four years now and they are house cats , I love spending time with them. I have previously owned a staffy (dog) named daisy who I regularly took out for walks and fed. I myself go on walks daily so I would love to help someone out if their pets need walking :) I think it’s very important for pets to receive some good playtime and loving which I would love to provide for them when the owner is unable to do so. I will walk pets in evenings/weekends depending on the size and activity level of the pet. I am happy to look after cats at my home too and invest in toys for them. I have now been dog sitting on Rover for 5 years and have enjoyed dog sitting so much. I started out as a uni student but now I am now a Secondary school Geography teacher, so will be available any school holidays as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of compassion and love for cats and dogs. I love spending time with them and playing with them, feeding them etc. It’s a very fulfilling job for me. I have a fenced garden, with a spacious living room for comfort. I always try and arrange a meet and greet first so that the pets are familiar with me before the service

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 Breckland 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 Breckland 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.
