“Teodora was fantastic and I fully recommend her. She was professional at all times. She is a proper animal person and my cat took to her immediately. Teodora is dependable and I really appreciated her detailed updates and photos upon every visit and her communications and quick responses meant I was completely comfortable and assured with her looking after my cat and I will definitely use Teodora again in the future. Top rated and highly recommend.”


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 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 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. I also volunteer at university as a dog walker for elderly/disabled people. I've had both dogs and cats for my whole life and care greatly about their welfare! I am also studying bioveterinary science at university where I have done projects focusing on animal welfare. I am currently a student who is on summer break until October with no prior commitments so have plenty of free time to care for, play with, and walk your pets! I will host pets safely in their home by following their routine, pet-proofing the space, monitoring their health, and communicating daily with the owner.
“First time leaving the cats for a holiday and all i can say is WOW! Owen and Renata were amazing! Even with one of my cats who’s temperamental! The full 4 days I got pictures every day and a full report which just made us relax so much more on our holiday! I couldn't fault anything! Would definitely recommend! Thank you both so much for everything you've done!”

“Josh was fantastic. He was professional, thoughtful, and a great communicator. He spent quality time with our cat, who is usually very picky and nervous, yet she warmed to him quickly, which really put my mind at ease.”

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: Growing up I have cared for my own pets, neighbours pets, dont shy away from the muck work, grooming and other pet requirements. Will care to your extended family member as if they were my own. I am quite confident with different animals having cared. Love and care with deep genuine attention to the extended family member and will give you some trusted peace of mind that you have left your cared one in safe kind hands. I work full time and have alternative Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends off. Therefore I am flexible in how I can help you out. Cat/dog overnight homeowner stays, happy to house your cat for an overnight stay (wouldn't be fair to a dog to come and stay in my flat as I wouldn't be able to care for it throughout the day unless it's a one night or over night weekend stay when I am off. As I'd be able to take out on walks- have two beautiful greenspaces to chose from for long or short walks. I live in a flat with a balcony, I would be happy to house cats, smaller pets in their cage/tank throughout the week, but would have smaller availability for small dogs/medium dogs, due to full time work and I wouldn't be comfortable leaving them in a confined space without the care and attention they would require.

“Steve was very reliable, punctual and did a great job. There was a situation where we were watching our cat on camera without any food left and looking for food. I messaged Steve and to my surprise he was over not long after that which was very early in the morning. This meant the world to us and shows how kind hearted he is❤️”

About: Since a child I’ve had all kind of pets from fishes, hamsters, birds and rabbits to raising kittens and a puppy. I’ve also had the pleasure of helping out friends and family. There weren’t many years where I did not have an animal in my life!! I am currently working full time, however weekends at anytime and any work day after 5pm I’m capable of pet care, though I can make adjustments if needed as I work from home. As I will be doing mostly walks and sitting at owners home I will ask how your fur baby likes their company and how to best create safety for them.
About: Been an animal career all my life. Animals are my passion, iv work with all sorts of animals all my life, I have NVQ's in animal care. iv been surrounded with animals as little as a dwarf hamster right up to a Shire horse. I have had many animals mostly dogs and cats of all shape and sizes. i love walking so walking your dog will be company for me aswell. I also love sitting down stroking cats and listening to them purring. im currently working part-time night shifts 4 minutes from where I live, so I have the whole day to take care of your pet / pets.

About: 🐶 Dogs have always been part of my life! With years of caring for my own, plus family and neighborhood pups, I bring patience, experience, and lots of love to every dog I meet. 🏡 Because I’m home full-time, your pup gets plenty of attention and care all day long! From playtime to walks and cuddles, I make sure each dog feels right at home. 🐾 A safe and happy home away from home! My space is fully dog-proofed, with secure fencing, cozy resting spots, and lots of love. You can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands
“The most important thing is that my cat liked Beatrice, which meant she responded well to Beatrice, ate her food and took her meds. Beatrice took my parcels in, put the bins out and gave her cuddles. Thank you Beatrice, it’s a weight off my mind to have someone I can rely on.”

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 am so happy I found April. She looked after my beagle Pyppa with so much care and kindness. My dog is not easy (older and a bit anxious), but April was very patient and understanding. I felt at ease knowing Pyppa was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life having been raised with them in the house and attending to all their needs throughout the years. This includes raising dogs from puppies, teaching them tricks, monitoring their diet, going for walks, attending vet visits and caring for them their whole lives. I am currently between roles thus very flexible when it comes to the day/week routine. This may change in future but I remain available. My home is set up for both my cat and dog, from their discreet bedding (which is regularly changed), food and food bowls (all labelled with expiry date), grooming brushes and toys. This also includes a clear schedule for walking, feeding and play time. I am guilty of leaving what I am doing to attend to their needs.

We can't recommend Teodora highly enough! She took wonderful care of Moony while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout - she kept us updated and sent loads of adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Moony had a great time, especially playing with Teodora's little one. When we got back, Moony was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We could tell our pet had been in caring, attentive hands the whole time. Thank you, Teodora - we'll definitely be booking you again!

Ana is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants true peace of mind while they’re away. Her communication was brilliant from start to finish, and I loved receiving her daily updates and photos — they were thoughtful, detailed, and showed just how well she cared for my cat Winston. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and my cat was relaxed, happy, and so well looked after. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you!

Owen delivered a fantastic drop in service to my dogs. Extremely hot weather and Owen adapted the plan to make sure my dogs were fed and watered to support them during the heatwave. On time and gave great updates about my dogs. Would highly recommend him and will be using him again without doubt. My mind was at peace knowing my dogs were in good hands.Thank you Owen

I booked Adina last minute to take care of my cat Archie on a bank holiday weekend when my other cat sitter cancelled last weekend. Adina was able to squeeze me in. Adina took very good care of Archie, and I was reassured by her prompt communication and care that Archie was well taken care of over the weekend. Archie had just been recently rehomed to me and this was the first time that I had left him overnight and with a sitter, so I was initially nervous but that soon melted away with the photos and videos Adina sent me. I would recommend Adina to anyone.

Katie did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Jessica Fletcher. She sent me updates every day and it was clear that Jess was happy to see her and took an instant liking to her. I came home to a happy cat, and a tidy house. Katie was super reliable, trustworthy and gave me absolute peace of mind whilst I was away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and I will be booking her again without hesitation.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Dagenham pet parents with similar pet households.

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!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
