“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with our dog while she looked after him for a few hours during the day. He had unfortunately been attacked the day before, so we were naturally quite anxious about leaving him but Jessica was incredibly attentive, gentle, and mindful of his needs throughout. She kept us regularly updated, which gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear he was in very safe and caring hands. We returned to a calm, happy dog and a house that was left spotless and tidy. We’re so grateful for the care and reassurance she provided at a time when we really needed it, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy sitter.”
“Naomi looked after our dog for two weeks, coming to the house every day. She was reliable, flexible around our long hours, and easy to deal with throughout. Good value and a real help over a busy stretch.”
“Jade was fantastic. Communicated before and during her stay, arrived punctually and was respectful throughout. She has a great knowledge of animals and our 13-week retriever took to her so well. We came back to a very happy little pup. Thanks so much Jade, we’ll definitely be using you again 😊”

“We were a little nervous about leaving our puppy for the first time but Jenny made us feel so so comfortable she came and met us asked all the relevant questions and just let us get to know her better before the booking which made me feel so much better. On the booking day she was on time left the house in perfect condition and kept us updated the whole time we were away with updates and pics and even answered a question I had once the booking was done. Honestly could not recommend her enough I felt totally at ease and I am so happy I have found someone I trust. Very reliable and always just so kind. Thank you so much Murphy can’t wait to see you again!”
“Yasmina took amazing care of our little Buzzy. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were out. Buzz was super relaxed and happy when we got home. I would 100% recommend Yasmina and would love for her to take of Buzz in the future x”
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I have lived with and cared for pets and dogs from the age of six, meaning that understanding animal behavior, routines, and body language is second nature to me. This lifelong devotion allows me to quickly connect with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was solely the proud owner of a rescue dog who required daily medication, strict routines, and an immense amount of patience. This beautiful experience taught me how to connect with sensitive, anxious, or medical-needs dogs. I know firsthand how to build trust with animals at their own pace, providing a calm and safe environment for pets who need extra tenderness. I work from home most of the week and can be home all day so your dog will always have company. I can also be available at weekends if I know in advance. - I have a fenced garden so your pet can use freely to play or for toilet breaks whenever they like - I do not have any other pets - Pets are allowed on furniture 🤎🐾
“Leah looked after Wolf for the first time and we couldn’t be happier. She was caring, reliable, and instantly made us feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout via WhatsApp, sending pictures and regular messages, and was always very responsive. We’re truly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy dog sitter.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, with my parents breeding various breeds.

I have plenty of space, a good sized garden and two sweet daughters who will fuss and give your dog lots of love if it requires. My house backs into fields and woodland so we can go on long walks if required and I am a keen runner so can take your dog for a run if it has extra energy to burn.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Brentwood
Jenny was amazing, we couldn't recommend her more. She stayed at our house for the day and looked after our two dogs. This was the first time leaving our 12 week puppy as well, and Jenny very much put us at ease immediately. She is clearly very experienced, and was great with the dogs. We had a meet and greet a few days before and she kept us updated on the day with messages and photos. We would highly recommend, thanks so much Jenny!!
Flora took care of our dog in our home. She came to visit us before our trip and Lottie seemed comfortable with her from the start. We hadn’t left Lottie with anyone before but Flora took great care of her. We really appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. I would be happy to recommend Flora.
Rich and Jess did the best job of looking after our dog while we were away for two weeks. They followed his routine so he was comfortable without us here. I know he was treated as well (if not better!) than if we were with him! They even brought one of his outside beds to the pub so he was extra comfortable! Jess was extra helpful watering my veg garden and greenhouse for me. Came home to a tidy house and a very happy dog. They did a great job. Thanks Rich and Jess.
Lily is awesome! She came to meet us for a meet & greet and was really thorough in getting to know our dogs, which is great cause they have higher needs than your usual pups. She was happy to handle their anxieties and idiosyncrasies, and was okay dealing with their pills. More than all that, I came home to two very happy puppies, they clearly had a good day with Lily. Thank you, and we’ll definitely book again!

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 Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
