“Our dog Pippa had a great time with Kezia when she came to dog sit for us. Kezia is very friendly and easy to work with, and Pippa was very at ease with her which made us feel reassured. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve had 2 dogs with my family for more than 10 years and have taken care of them both. I can follow instructions easily and have experience in giving prescribed medications to dogs due to one of ours taking medication for most of his doggy life. I currently work 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home and off on weekends. I can care for your pet on the days I’m off and working from home easily. I’m comfortable with whatever the owner need and want for their pets as long as instructions are communicated. I own a car and can travel to places if needed.

About: I'm an active, outdoorsy person who genuinely loves being around dogs. I take your dog's exercise seriously: proper walks, real time outside, and plenty of stimulation. My hands-on experience comes from regularly walking and caring for two very different dogs — a Staffordshire Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I’m currently working from home with good flexibility. I can work around the schedule for helping out. Weekends should be free in the day too. My flat is a cosy, well-kept one-bedroom on an upper floor — no balcony or outdoor space, but we’re just a 5-minute walk from a park, so dogs get outside plenty. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the flat, which is worth knowing for smaller or older dogs.
“Jenni was AMAZING with our cats and our home and we could not be more pleased. Trusting someone new with your cats is always nerve wrecking but Jenni gave us regular updates, kept the house tidy, and was a real pleasure getting to know. And she did it all during a heatwave! She went above and beyond and we would not hesitate to recommend her to others. The cats will surely be happy whenever they get the chance to see her again.”


About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of cats and dogs, including tabby cats, British Shorthairs, and Sphynx cats. I have also looked after many different dog breeds and have grown up around animals, having owned Rottweilers and a Poodle, and I currently care for my Shih Tzu and two tabby cats. I am very confident handling pets of different personalities and needs, including dogs with separation anxiety. I genuinely enjoy working with animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My aim is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are in safe and loving hands at all times. I am a full-time SEN secondary teacher, however I spend my spare time (after 15:00) caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I have a strong passion for animals and really enjoy providing them with attentive, reliable care outside of my working hours. I am also available throughout all school term holidays, so if you are looking for a full-time pet sitter during these periods, please feel free to get in touch. In addition, I am open to last-minute weekend bookings where possible. With owner permission, I also love taking dogs out for enriching walks to places such as local parks or forests to ensure they are happy, stimulated, and enjoying their time while in my care. I have a fenced garden with plenty of space for pets to safely roam and enjoy themselves. I also have a female, friendly Shih Tzu named Paris, who is very sociable with other dogs and is also comfortable around cats, as she has lived alongside my two tabby cats. My cats are generally independent and often spend time outdoors in the neighbourhood or relaxing in their own space indoors, so visiting pets are able to have a calm and low-stress environment. I always ensure any pets in my care are introduced slowly and safely where needed, and I prioritise their comfort and wellbeing at all times.
About: I’ve been around and owned horses and dogs from a young age so for many years and currently own two extremely well-loved French Bulldogs, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I love animals more than people my partner often refers to me as ace Ventura 🤣 I have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities I love the crazy ones! I’m strong and I am confident with walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care and keeping routines consistent. I’m active, reliable and will always treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, company during the day or overnight care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away, I can even spam you with photos if you like. I work full-time from home (apart from a Tuesday I go to the office in Brentwood) during the week and am available for walks before and after work, evenings and weekends. I also offer drop-in visits and house sitting with advance notice. I’m active, reliable and happy to work around your dog’s usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I know every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting them at home or house sitting, I’ll provide plenty of care, attention and regular photo updates so you know they’re safe and happy. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet as if they were my own.
“This week Josh and Mosco had their first few days together. Mosco seems to have had a great time and was his usual chill, happy self when we got back. Josh was great, kept in touch in the run up and during the sit. Took care of the flat really well and hopefully enjoyed his time with Mosco. We will definitely be asking Josh for his time again.”

“I cannot recommend Piraveen highly enough. He looked after my dog while I was away on holiday, and I returned home to a very happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog. Communication was excellent throughout my trip, with regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that my dog received plenty of love, attention, and care, and that my dog was treated as part of the family rather than just a pet. Piraveen was reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive to my dog's needs and routine. Knowing that my dog was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my holiday without any worries. Thank you so much, Piraveen, for everything you did. I would not hesitate to book with you again in the future and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated dog sitter.”


About: I have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management where I achieved the highest possible grade of triple Distinction*. This diploma gave me two years of experience caring for and training all types of animals. I also have work experience in various dog groomers, doggy daycare, a vet practice, and city farms.

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs of all ages and breeds. I grew up from the age of 3 with a black labrador who I looked after for 13 years. I have also been around many rescue dogs such as 7 ex racer greyhounds of varying temperaments and ages. I have aided in the training of puppies including the basic training of a shin tzu and the crate training and basic training of a jack russell cross. At the age of 17, I completed work experience as a dog grooming assistant, teaching me about the varying coats of breeds as well as more on behaviour of breeds and noticing conditions such as fleas, worms, tics and matting. Since coming to university I have volunteered as a dog walker and pet sitter for dogs in my area and am well accustomed to meeting all types of dogs (rescues, seniors, youths, nervous, energetic, etc). I am currently a university student so will have plenty of time to look after and spend time with your pup! I am available at weekends for boarding and every weekday evening. I am also available during the day all day over summer break! I have a secure house with a garden so no need to worry if your dog is an escape artist! When leaving the house for walks, dogs will remain secured on lead to keep them safe (unless owners specify their dog has mastered recall and are confident with others taking their dogs off leash for walks).

Sherry was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our fur babies, and it was so reassuring knowing they were in such safe and loving hands while we were away. We came home to two very happy pets and a spotless home, which was such a lovely surprise after travelling. It was clear that Sherry treated both our animals and our home with genuine care and respect. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Sherry!

Shelby was an absolute star and so lovely looking after our dog Rosie and even went the extra mile in keeping our house clean and watering our plants during the extreme hot weather. We received such lovely photos whilst away on vacation and kept in touch throughout. Such a kind , gentle individual and would recommend her 100% to anyone with animal babies ☺️☺️ We would defitnetly like to be using her in the future, well above a 5 star rating!!

Jenni was AMAZING with our cats and our home and we could not be more pleased. Trusting someone new with your cats is always nerve wrecking but Jenni gave us regular updates, kept the house tidy, and was a real pleasure getting to know. And she did it all during a heatwave! She went above and beyond and we would not hesitate to recommend her to others. The cats will surely be happy whenever they get the chance to see her again.

Susanna is such a great find on rover. She was able to accommodate us last moment and was so understanding of all the requirements of our demanding animals. Returned to a very neat house and happy pets, she also sent us the cutest photo updates. We would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Klaudia was amazing. I made a mistake on the booking by half an hour and she very kindly accommodated us. Klaudia was calm and patient with Coco and took the time to understand her needs. She followed Coco’s routine down to the T. Was very happy and felt that Coco was in good hands. Klaudia was in our house and we felt she was very trustworthy and made us feel comfortable so we were able to enjoy our night out. Would definitely recommend and rebook Klaudia again.

⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Dog Sitter Ever! I can’t say enough good things about Ronnie He treated my dog like family and cared for him exactly the way I would. From the moment I left ace, I knew he was in great hands. Ronnie welcomed him into his home, gave him so much love and attention, and kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time. When I came home my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust — we’ll definitely be booking again. Appreciate you!!

Adina was amazing! She stepped in at the very last minute to dog sit my puppy and was an absolute lifesaver. Super responsive, punctual, and caring. Hugo adored her. Since I was traveling, she really put me at ease and sent me loads of updates, pictures and videos. I’d highly recommend her services!

Katie was a perfect house sitter for our 2 Goldens Heidi and Henry for 4 days. I would recommend Katie to anyone. She gave our 2 lots of play time and kept us updated regularly. The house was left so clean and tidy. Our train was delayed on our journey home and Katie stayed beyond her time to give them both their dinner. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Will definitely be using Katie again .

I can't recommend Vella enough as a dog sitter! From the moment I contacted her, she was warm and welcoming, making sure to understand my dog's needs and preferences. During the stay, she provided excellent care, ensuring my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-exercised. Vella shared regular updates and adorable photos. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them as her own. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dagenham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dagenham on Rover is £40.25 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 15,810 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dagenham. 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 Dagenham 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 Dagenham 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
