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: Hi, I’m Martyn — lifelong animal fan, late-bloomer cat dad. Growing up, I couldn’t have pets because of family allergies, but I’m trying to making up for lost time. Since moving to London and finally having my own place with my partner we have been fostering cats through Feline Friends. For the last year and more we have looked after a range of cats — from confident older cats to shy kittens finding their feet. Some standouts: Hector (a proper gentleman), Mouse (not small at all in reality), Archie (big drama queen), and our current duo, Hansel and Gretel — two black kittens who are confidently developing their cuddling skills. Outside of cats, I’m a graphic designer from wales. I have a beautiful 9 year old daughter and currently working for a college in east London so have a current and clean DBS. I’d like to say that I’m reliable, easygoing, and patent so hopefully the perfect cat sitter! I’m not expecting cats to trust me instantly and more than happy to wait for them to come to me when they’re ready (but no promises that I won’t bribe them with treats). I’m hoping that cat sitting can be a way for me to meet more cats (and lovely humans), while helping out a bit with the cost of, well… life. If you like what you’ve read then please get in touch and I’ll do my best to treat your cat like royalty. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

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 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).

About: I myself have grown up my whole life with both a cat and a large dog, which i love very deeply. Im used to taking care of them everyday and also when my family wants to go on holiday, i stay to keep them happy ❤️ I also take care of my friends’ pets when they go abroad and have gotten the chance to explore many cities in their homes whilst having the privilege of caring for their furry friends! I am a university student, so my schedule is never full! I have certain days off and weekends completely free, so id love to take care of your pets and bond with them! I will always take time to learn about the pets and their behaviour along with what they are and aren’t allowed. If theres a structure i need to follow in terms of walks or feeding times, i’ll never miss a second. 🫡 I will also find out if the cats are indoor or outdoor, ensuring pet safety.

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.

About: I have 3 years of experience dog walking and caring for a variety of dogs. I also have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, attention and reliable care. I currently work in a veterinary practice and have completed my Level 2 Dog Grooming qualification, giving me additional knowledge of animal handling, behaviour and general wellbeing. I’m confident caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs, and always treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets around my work and personal commitments. I’m flexible with my availability and can provide walks, visits and boarding depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to discuss specific days and times in advance. I will only be offering pet sitting in the owner’s home, rather than boarding pets in my own home. I will follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs regularly for the past 3 years, mostly looking after two senior dogs for one friend and a young puppy for another. This has given me experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from gentle senior care to playful puppy stages. From age 15 I cared for dogs within my family, supporting with walks, feeding, and keeping them settled while owners were away. In addition, I‘ve cared for my family kitten, and as an indoor cat, he required consistent feeding, litter care, playtime, and a calm presence, something I’m very comfortable providing. Working from home, enables me to give consistent attention throughout the day and always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Every dog or cat in my care is treated with patience, attentiveness, and love. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, companionship and regular walks or drop-ins throughout the day. I’m flexible during weekdays and available most weekends, making it easy to fit pet care naturally into my routine. When caring for dogs or cats in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions provided. I ensure doors and gates are always secured, keep environments tidy and safe. If crate training is part of their routine, I’m comfortable supporting that in a gentle and positive way. My focus is always on providing a safe, consistent, and loving environment while you’re away.

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 grew up in a family and we always had dogs as pets and have always loved every kind dog. I also have always looked after my friends dogs when needed and treated them like it was my own dog. In recent years I have assisted a family member who’s looks after dogs on a day care and boarding basis, in doing so I have gained experience of looking after all types of dogs I attend night college 1/2 a week at present and therefore I’m available most days and weekends to look after a dog of any kind I have my very own large apartment and am able to accommodate a dog easily and I’m surrounded by open spaces to walk the dog insuring any exercise and toilet needs are met.

Susanna has become our go to sitter when we are planning holidays. She’s so great with animals and leaves house spotless. She’s great at following instructions and made sure animals are all pampered with frozen treats throughout the heatwave. I can’t recommend her enough as it is so difficult to find someone you can truly trust on the app, it makes leaving our beloved pets so much easier.

Heqing is an awesome pet sitter. She stayed at my house and took care of Charlie, my other dog and cats and administered medication and kept to food and exercise times as requested. Heqing asked insightful questions about Charlie’s medical requirements and had obviously looked up his condition before she came to do a meet and greet. She is punctual, reliable and kept in touch throughout the time I was away. I have complete confidence in recommending her as a pet sitter and will absolutely have her back to look after my floofs when I’m away again.

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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 16,145 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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.
