I could not recommend Susanna enough! Mature beyond her years, she was fantastic with our 10 month old puppy, such as making sure to keep up our puppy’s training when out on her walks. Our dog is sadly struggling with health problems at the moment and Susanna made sure we were regularly kept updated on how she was doing, alongside keeping a keen eye on our pup to make sure she didn’t need her pain medication. Our pup fell in love with Susana and we are already looking at ways she can stay over with her again!

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!

Charlie stayed at my house with my 9 yr old pup for 4 days and took her for walks! He also sent pictures everyday and my dog seemed very happy when I got home. Would definitely rebook again. Highly recommend!

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and I am hoping to work with animals as a full time job in the future. I am currently studying Animal Management at college and am hoping to go to university next year to study Veterinary Physiotherapy, so that I can achieve my dream of helping animals. I have previous work experience at the RSPCA looking after a range of dog breeds, including larger breeds like Huskies and Cane Corsos as well as small breeds like Chihuahuas and Terriers. During this experience, I have helped to walk dogs, clean out kennels, feed and play with dogs. I have also gained experience working with cats, rabbits, birds and other small animals at the RSPCA. I currently have a dog, who is a springer spaniel x poodle called Doodle, and a cat, called Pancake. I spend much of my free time taking Doodle on walks and playing and cuddling with her and Pancake whenever they want to. I have also on many occasions looked after pets of friends and family, including labradors, spaniels, jack russells, beagles, cats and rabbits. I am currently a student and am at college 3 days per week. I typically have full availability on weekends and am usually free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as most evenings. The safety of your pets will always be my number one priority and I will ensure that I keep an eye on them so that they are safe and happy. I will listen to, follow and respect any rules or boundaries that you have when looking after your pets to keep both you and your pets happy and comfortable.

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.

Would highly recommend Hannah, she came to our house and looked after our pup for the day whilst we were at a wedding. She very kindly took him for a walk (which we didn’t expect) and sent lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely use her again.

Eli was fantastic. Summer took to her very quickly (which is very rare). Summer was having a hard time with the original schedule we had set up so Eli quickly adapted the timings and even stayed the night because my pup was having a hard time alone overnight. I will be using her in the future as long as she is available.

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 ☺️🐾🐾

Kai came to our rescue and looked after our pets ( including my sisters dog ) for the Easter weekend, I cannot recommend Kai more highly, you can tell he loves animals, he was very intuitive and empathetic with our doggies ( who can be slightly neurotic !) and as soon as he walked in they came to him and then wouldn't leave him alone ! He's a kind, calm and gentle soul and he also looked after the cottage very well, sent us regular pics and updates so we could relax knowing the pets were ok and he had things under control. We wholeheartedly recommend Kai and will definitely be booking him again. Thanks Kai ... you are a superstar 🌟

About: Ive always had a dog and I am also loved by cats, I love giving them attention and like it too. You're leaving your baby in safe hands coz when Im with pets they become my world. I feel I understand animals well, even though they can’t communicate in the same way we do—perhaps it’s my biologist’s instinct. I truly enjoy spending time with them and would be delighted to care for your beloved pets. As a PhD student, I have a self-managed schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care. I also see this as more than just a side role—it’s something that brings me joy and a sense of calm, almost like therapy, while ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. As I have lived in the past in an area where wildlife is common, I always took extra precautions to keep pets safe, including ensuring they remain indoors after 6 PM, even for short strolls. I also carefully check the environment to remove any sharp or hazardous objects. Most importantly, I pay close attention to their behavior and cues, making sure they feel heard, understood, and comfortable at all times.

About: I provide reliable, attentive cat sitting with a strong focus on each pet’s individual needs and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach, which helps even shy or anxious cats feel comfortable in their own home. I have experience caring for kittens, including supporting feeding schedules and early socialisation, as well as senior cats who may need extra attention, medication administration, or gentle handling. I always prioritise your cat’s wellbeing, keeping their environment clean, maintaining their routine, and providing regular updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Working from home allows me to offer a high level of flexibility and reliability when it comes to caring for your cat. I’m able to adjust my schedule to suit your needs, whether that’s early morning visits, daytime check-ins, or evening care. Because I’m not tied to a fixed workplace, I can also respond quickly to last-minute requests or changes, giving you extra peace of mind. This flexibility means your cat can enjoy consistent attention, regular feeding times, and plenty of companionship throughout the day, helping them feel relaxed and secure while you’re away I provide attentive, tailored care depending on whether I’m looking after your cat in your home or hosting them in mine. In a pet owner’s home, I focus on maintaining your cat’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding at their regular times, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time with them through play, grooming, or simply keeping them company. I also keep your home tidy, can bring in post, and provide regular updates so you know your cat is happy and well cared for.

Danika spent the day with our 6 month old lab and was great. She was very quick to respond very communicative. Only being 6 months old our lab can at times be a handful, but Danika did a great job and we'll certainly book with her again.

About: I have had animals all my life. I have a genuine love of taking care of them. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs and horses.

I worked for the animal charity Wood Green Animal Shelter on field section, worked at a dog kennels, cattery and also worked in the hospitality industry. I have a clean driving licence.

I am a single mum of three daughters. Two go to work and one is disabled and goes to a fantastic school in Alconbury near Huntingdon. So im at home alone a lot. I have been looking for a job that can is flexible and active but also to do something I love and have experience doing. I have a lot of free so this type of work suits me down to the ground. My home has a big garden that is fully fenced all the way round. I have tiled floors indoors which is easy cleaning. My house is open plan but I do have a utility room for a quiet place.

Very pleased with Charlie. He sent enough pictures during his stay so I knew he and Bear were getting on. He left the house very clean and tidy having stayed 2 nights. I would definitely use Charlie again.

I had Susanna look after my two chihuahuas while I was away for a few days. She's kept me updated frequently with photos and videos of my doggies. They're far happier spending time at home and going for walks with Susanna than being at the kennel. I'm very happy I made that choice and hope she can look after my dogs again when she's available.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Cambridgeshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in East Cambridgeshire on Rover is £41.4 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 745 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Cambridgeshire. 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 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.
