About: I’ve lived with and looked after many pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals. I regularly look after my friends dogs, cats and other small pets. I have a passion for dogs and although I don’t currently have my own I regularly walk dogs daily with friends and/or family. I’ve helped train puppies and also spent time caring for elder dogs. I currently work for a company that produces smart devices for pets so I am very familiar with animals and the wants and needs required to look after them and their welfare. I work fully remote for a pet device company and regularly spend my spare time with my friends and families pets. I’m active and love walking, I have completed the Camino de Santiago and enjoyed every step. Although I don’t currently have a pet of my own I have pet beds, bowls and other toys etc as I regularly look after dogs at my house. I make sure my house is pet friendly and love to get to know every animal I pet sit. A part of forming a bond and making sure they are cared for is understanding the behaviours and habits they already have and keeping as routine as you can to keep them safe and happy. I’ve regularly pet sat at friends homes and always treat their animals and homes with love and care.

“Charlie helped me out last minute when I was looking for sitters. He was great at meeting up with me first to meet Blue and also drop him off at a friend’s house when he left. Thanks for your help 🙏”

“Nathan is great, he watched my pup and house sat for 4 days. He took her for walks and sent me updates with pictures daily. My pup seemed very happy when I got home. I would definitely rebook with him again!”


“Elinor was fantastic house sitting our 7 month old golden retriever puppy over the 3 days! We were delighted with the care she gave our golden retriever puppy. Puppies can be quite a handful, but she was patient, kind, and clearly cared for her as if he were her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed puppy and a tidy house, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip, and her communication was excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring house sitter, and we’d happily ask her to sit for us again.”


About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats since a young age, experienced in dog grooming and a small amount of house sitting previously! I currently work part time ( very early morning hours ) therefore the rest of my days are available to spend caring for you much loved animals! All days from 10AM - evening, excluding Sunday. I like to keep all animals in their regular home routine, the same to how their owners would. This keeps your pets feeling settled and happy!
“This was our second time booking Philippa and David, this time for a full week, and once again they were absolutely fantastic. We came home to very happy and well cared for dogs, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They were respectful of our home, left everything very clean and tidy, and were incredibly helpful throughout the stay. We especially appreciated the updates and photos they sent while we were away, it was lovely to see how settled and happy the dogs were. Philippa and David are trustworthy, caring, and clearly love animals. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters.”

“Hannah was amazing with Opie and Cash, and they loved her! Communication was great and always prompt with responses. Hannah sent us pics and kept us updated on how the boys were doing while we were out of town. If you’re looking for someone who loves animals to take care of your pets, Hannah is the one!”
“My dogs Marmite and Smokey look happy had good day and is being well look after in my home, and Stacey-Leigh do keep me updates when they been fed and took them out for walk as they was well behave with Stacey-Leigh I would recommend Stacey-Leigh again . Thank you would use this Rover.com again . ???”

“Ellie was really lovely, and accommodating - doing a last minute sit for me when I was going to stay with a friend. I never met her as she had to complete her work day before coming, but she found her way in smoothly and everything went blissfully. She sent me regular updates every couple of hours - unusually frequent, and I really enjoyed seeing my two having a good time - a little tug at the heart strings and a feeling of love every time I got a new photo. I’ve asked my usual sitters to send more frequent updates now! I’d thoroughly recommend Ellie and would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you Ellie, from Sandra, Yola and Flo ☺️🐾🐾”

“We've just had Jesse house sit for us and look after Buddy for the first time and we couldn't be happier with the service. It was a very last minute booking but Jesse made time to come and do a meet and greet before the sit date. She was polite, friendly and professional and we felt like Buddy and our home were in safe hands. Would not hesitate to book again.”

“Excellent communicater. Sent lovely photos of Dot while I was away. I wasn't able to contact her much, but she was great. Very respectful of my flat, inwoyldnt know she was there. Dots very happy. I would highly recommend.”

A lifelong owner with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, amphibians and aquariums with a proven ability to manage complex behaviors, including, grooming, exercise, dietary needs and medical care. I applied advanced positive reinforcement techniques to raise and fully train a Labrador and family (Cookie who died 17) companion to a high level of obedience and socialization. Alongside many other beloved babies over these many years. There would be a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of each of your cherished pets , much like adjusting walking or sitting styles for different breeds and temperaments, physically active and capable of managing high-energy breeds in all weather. . DBS-checked, holder of a clean driving license (currently without a car), and deeply committed to the safety, exercise, and happiness of animals in my care.

Which of course means I am available 7 days a week. Looking after your four legged friends is about fitting into your routine and theirs. I live next to the River Cam, which makes me nearby to all the local commons for your furry friends to run and have space. I also have a fenced and gated back garden for security and welfare of our fur babies. I do also own a cage should that be the way your pet is accustomed, nevertheless everything else would have to be provided by you and the way your babies are cared for is customized by how you/they like it. Unless emergency care/ last minute, I recommend/prefer a meet and greet before any decisions are made, to see how we fit.

About: When growing up my mum was a dog behaviouralist and rescued and rehoused many different pets! At one point we even had 17 dogs and 12 puppies ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have 24 years of experience with looking after not only my pets but those of family friends and eventually clients, I also studied companion animal management in collage to widen my knowledge on all the pets I’ve had/looked after. I recently moved to the area and have no current job. I live with my husband and a ferret that has his own room outside the main house, I don’t have any hobbies other than calligraphy writing (just started) and computer games. Having something other than me to look after would be nice whilst my husband’s at work. There is only one neighbour on my street surrounded by farmland (currently with corn) I do have a back garden that is mostly fenced in but there is on panel that needs re wiring so pets would be on a lead when outside, I am also only a 5 minute drive from a rentable dog field for safe and stress free zoomies!
“We were so happy to find Marie who took care of our cat and dog while we were on holiday. From the moment she arrived for a pre-sit visit, it was clear that she had a lot of experience, asking detailed questions about both pets to get a understanding of their personalities and needs. Our whippet, Rupert, suffers from separation anxiety, so it was a big ask for her to be here for 9 nights. Marie kept us updated with videos and pictures and Rupert had a great time out and about with her. Marie experienced some challenges with the boiler which resulted in us having to call an engineer out to problem-solve, but she was very gracious when there was no hot water for a couple of days. Rupert even got taken to a dog park, where he could run off lead, which was really thoughtful of her. When we got back, both pets had been very well looked after, and the house was very tidy and clean. Thanks, Marie, for looking after them so well.”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - East Cambridgeshire
Susanna has been absolutely wonderful with our little Warwick! He can be a nervous little boy so we were worried about getting a dog sitter but Susanna has always gone above and beyond to give him the best time when we are away 🥹 And so many updates which we appreciate lots!! I trust her very much to take the best care of our boy when we are away ❤️

Nathan looked after our two senior terriers for a few days and gave us total peace of mind thanks to his calm and mature presence during the meet-and-greet and proactive updates during his stay. Very friendly and responsive and left the house spotless; we can definitely recommend him as a house and pet sitter.

Stella was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Hugo! She was warm, kind, and incredibly communicative, sending lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We could tell Hugo adored her. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy pup. We’ll absolutely book her 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 East Cambridgeshire 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 East Cambridgeshire 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.
