Slavina took such great care of our cockapoo Disco who requires daily medication and has separation anxiety. She was so careful with her, particularly during the hot weather, and made sure Disco was always comfortable. Slavina sent us regular updates and photos of all their walks, play and cuddles. She also left our flat in immaculate condition!

Nicole is a fantastic sitter - she’s a great communicator and absolutely loves dogs. She took such great care of my dog, catered to his needs and also took great care of my house. I was fully able to relax and came back to a very relaxed dog. Highly recommend, thanks Nicole!

Joao and Lara looked after my dog for a week! He is quite nervous and takes a while to warm up to strangers, but he was clearly so well taken care of as he was very relaxed when we returned home. The house was also very taken care of as was spotless when we returned. Thank you very much

Jade looked after our 1 year old sheepadoodle Sassie for 12 nights as a home stay. Sassie was very well cared for and we returned to a very happy pup and a clean and tidy home. Jade is lovely, trustworthy and communicative. Sassie unexpectedly came into her 1st season while we were away which Jade handled exceptionally well! We have no hesitation in recommending Jade and will definitely be booking again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Otto and Gigi! They were so well looked after, and we loved receiving updates and photos while we were away. It was clear they were cared for with so much love and attention. We came home to two very happy, relaxed dogs. Thank you so much, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and will definitely book again!

Thank you Daisie for looking after our Oscar whilst we were away for a week. Daisie sent us daily updates with messages and photos of Oscar. She followed all the medication routines as instructed to effectively manage his diabetes. This left us reassured that he was in very good hands. Daisie is a very competent and caring sitter and put Oscar's needs first. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday away knowing that he is safe and well. Thank you Daisie. We will be booking Daisie again xxx

We had an amazing experience with Jessica! She took such wonderful care of our dogs while we were away. Communication was excellent – we received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind. Our pups were happy, timely fed, and clearly loved the attention and affection they received. The house was left clean as it was. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future! 🐾 our dogs are safe with her 😊 … Thank You Jessica

Absolutely fantastic sitter. Emilie watched after our fur baby for a week at our home and has done such an amazing job taking care of her. My partner and I were worried about leaving our dog for a longer period for the first time but Emilie took away our worries instantly. She kept us constantly updated during the day with photos and made sure that we knew exactly how our pup was doing in good detail. We could tell immediately that she has plenty of experience with dogs. She was very accomodating to ours/Mooncake's needs but most importantly our dog seems to have had a lot of fun with her! Major bonus was she also treated our home with such respect. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. If you are anxious about leaving your fur baby to someone new like I was, I would definitely recommend Emilie!

Shakira was exceptional. She was attentive, professional and tremendously caring with all 3 of our cats (our babies!). She is a natural, Mist & Toby and our older fur-boy Oscar was right at ease the moment they met her. Oscar is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day and Shakira was able to do this along with administering oral medication for him effectively during the house sitting. Shakira gave us the peace of mind we were seeking, by keeping us informed and sending cute pics of all 3. We knew our babies were in good hands and we remain deeply grateful for her kind care and professionalism. Shakira is a super-star and we will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Shakira, you done great! Lots of love Saira, Tom & Co (fur-gang) xxx🥰🤩🐾

About: I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every dog in my care. With over 9 years of experience, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand how important routine and trust are, so I take the time to make each dog feel comfortable and secure. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving plenty of attention and care. I only care for one booking at a time (unless from the same owner), ensuring your dog receives my full attention, patience, and dedicated care—just like at home. I offer a structured service that includes morning walks, personalised breakfasts, relaxation and playtime, additional walks at midday and in the afternoon, recreational activities, and preparation for bedtime, ensuring the physical and mental well-being of each pet. Owners can stay informed about their pets through this app, WhatsApp, text messages, Facebook Messenger or Skype. I conduct an initial assessment in a neutral location to observe your dog's behaviour and recommend an early drop-off for new boarders, if the owner deems it appropriate. I maintain a personalised routine for each dog during their stay and conduct daily health checks and cleaning with the owner's approval. I pay special attention to puppies under one year old, accepting only one at a time, providing support for house training and direct access to the garden. Thank you for trusting me to care for your beloved pet. With my dedication and experience, you can be assured that your pet will receive the best possible care while you are away. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend. I live only with my husband, I don't have childs or pets. I live in a beautiful house there are 4 bedrooms with a private fenced garden and access to nearby parks that facilitate the dog's proper recreation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Epping Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Epping Forest on Rover is £42.55 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 Epping Forest. 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 Epping Forest 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 Epping Forest 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.
