House Sitting in Havering

“Leah looked after Wolf for the first time and we couldn’t be happier. She was caring, reliable, and instantly made us feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout via WhatsApp, sending pictures and regular messages, and was always very responsive. We’re truly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy dog sitter.”

“Kane and Leanne are absolutely wonderful and I am so glad they were available to watch my precious velcro Cavalier Gypsy for a long weekend. From the first meet and greet you can tell your pet's going to be in such good hands from their calm and friendly energy. Gypsy took to them instantly and I was entirely comfortable leaving her in their care. We had great communication throughout, Gypsy was as happy as can be, and they took better care of my house than I do! 10/10 would recommend, and hopefully will see again in the future.”

“Shelby stayed in my flat for to weeks to care for my cat Archie while I was away visiting family. Shelby took incredible care of both my cat Archie and my flat. I was nervous to leave Archie for that long, but Shelby gave me regular updates and took impeccable care of him. I knew he was in great hands and very well cared for. I had no concerns and would absolutely book Shelby again in a heartbeat. Thank you Shelby!!”

About: I've been around dogs as long as I can remember. I cared for my Frenchie from a puppy until a senior, as well as taking in other people's pets whilst they are away or aren't able to care for them. As a very active person, I love to go for long runs and adventures through forests or parks but am just as happy caring and hanging out with them when they need it. I have been pet sitting for years, however I began working with other people's pets as a part time job (I'm a professional dancer!) in 2022. Since then, I absolutely love it! I am a professional dancer and pet-sitting is my side job since I lost my beautiful dog of 12 years in 2022. I am quite available however I do leave the country occasionally to tour (this is always updated in my calendar in advance). My brother, who used to work in dog shelters in Bulgaria, is often available to cover me incase of ill-health, injury or unforseen circumstances. I have a fenced garden and a doggy door that gives pets free range to use the outdoor/indoors as they please. This can also be locked if necessary. I do have two cats who grew up with my dog for 5 years and got along with her very well. One of them is mainly outdoors, and the other is usually wherever people are. There are many beautiful parks in this area too that are safe for dogs and I regularly walk dogs around.

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: I have looked after family pets, dogs, cats, a parrot & rabbits for many years but would love to help others as well. I love walking and am happy to take dogs for a long walk. I love cats as well, I would be happy to keep them company for a while, administer medication & feed them. Recently I have looked after 5 cats which was an interesting experience. Luckily they all had name tags so that I knew who was who! I would be happy to stay overnight if necessary. I have recently retired from my teaching job (food technology) so I'm now available day & night to care for your pets or to walk your dogs. I have a very safe bungalow, the garden is fenced securely in which I can look after your dogs and plenty of room inside if the weather is bad.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child, I walked my friends and families dogs of all sizes. I have done hours of work experience in a vets and cared for many unwell dogs and cats, strays, and also dogsat my friends dogs. I can read body language well and can provide accurate enrichment based on their age, size and needs. If any medication, grooming or special needs are required, let me know and I can accomodate I am currently studying an extra year at sixth form, however I don’t go in everyday and I am free most evenings, weekends and some weekdays. Over holidays I am free everyday and can travel to support owners needs. I have a fenced garden and own two rabbits and a tortoise which are kept seperate from in my own home. I can crate animals if needed, I live near to two parks and have outside areas for them to pee/poo, while also having big indoor spaces for them. In an owners home I can follow any restrictions (not on beds, diet etc).

“Jessica was great with Millie after building up trust with a few walks before the overnight stay. Kept informed with messages and photos throughout day Would book with Jesstafain 😁”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life — from the moment I was born, they've always been part of the family. I started walking and caring for them on my own at age 14 and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including Rottweilers, Border Collies, Westies, chihuahua’s and Jack Russells. Currently, my family has two very different dogs: a nervous German Shepherd and a high-energy Beagle, both of whom I adore and miss! I'm very comfortable handling anxious or more challenging dogs with patience and care. For three years, I also lived with a sweet little Maltese Poodle that belonged to a former roommate, and I regularly dog sit for her when needed— so I'm just as comfortable with small dogs too. I live in a ground-floor converted house with a secure garden, making it an ideal space for dogs to feel safe and enjoy some outdoor time. Whether your dog needs a calm environment, extra attention, or just a fun walk, I’d love to help! I currently work Monday to Friday in a dog friendly office. I am happy to take your pet along with me or I am at home full time during the weekends and evenings. I have a fully enclosed garden so your doggie can feel safe and enjoy some outdoor time whenever needed! Additionally I live love to a big park / forest that is very ideal for walks

About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and a natural ability to care for them. From the age of 14 to 16, I regularly walked dogs around my neighbourhood, building experience with different breeds and temperaments. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I am confident handling larger, strong dogs as well as smaller pets. I currently have a cat, who I have successfully trained to sit for treats, showing my patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I have also volunteered at animal rescues, further developing my hands-on experience and compassionate approach. I provide a loving, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. My cat is both dog- and cat-friendly and has previously lived with a Rottweiler who is his best friend and still sees regularly, so I am happy to host pets that are comfortable around cats. I am also more than happy to care for dogs of any temperament in their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure in a familiar environment. I have a flexible and reliable schedule, as I currently work part-time while my partner is at home full-time. This means there will always be someone present to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Together, we have lots of time to play, provide companionship, and ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, your pet will never be left feeling lonely and will receive consistent, attentive care. I offer a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a large, fully fenced garden where they can play and explore securely. I live on a quiet, non-busy road, making walks calm and stress-free. I can also provide a crate if needed, whether for training, rest, or to maintain your pet’s usual routine. My home is a relaxed, pet-friendly space where your pet will feel safe, settled, and well cared for.

“Bertie had such a wonderful time with Nicole. Lots of cuddles, playtimes and walks. Nicole kept me updated frequently and we have already rebooked again. I cannot recommend Nicole enough, she’s absolutely lovely!”

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 grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. A life without dogs is lifeless, I've been told my house is the 'Dog Rehab' They always leave feeling better. I work in media from home,i need walks as much as my dog because I beleieve it's essential to take a break from the screen and refresh my mind. Pets get alot of love and frequently rewarded in my home for just being beautiful animals. I have lots of treats. They love to be around me, but I do give them freedom to explore the home. Nothing dangerous around the flat as it's a pretty minimalistic w comfy rugs in the living room and dog beds in my room.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life! Unfortunately I am unable to have one of my own, so I thought in the meantime I share all the love I have with someone elses pooch who needs it! I provide a good mixture of discipline, adventure and love <3 I work part-time mostly from home, so I have ample time to take care of your doggies! I wake up early to walk them where we can walk around a large park in Honrchurch. I enjoy hiking and exploring the UK so your pup could benefit from some amazing adventures! We can sit together watching TV in our conservatory or sunbathe in our garden. I have a fenced garden. Our rooms are separated so they can be comfortable in one or two spaces. Our home is clean and tidy with minimal risk. I will be the sole caretaker of your furry friend.

About: I was an au pair in Australia looking after three kids and three dogs, two toy poodles and one regular sized poodle, the large poodle had issues with other dogs so learnt how to deal with that. Was the main care giver for them during the week and made sure they were fed,walked and happy. I have since cat sat for a number of friends who have gone abroad, from 4 days up to 3 months. I work from home full time, my housemate has a dog so he is home with me during the day. My work is very flexible so I can go for walks at anytime during the day when I don't have a meeting. I do have to go into the office on certain days during the month but I will inform you if you visit coincides with one of these days. I have a small fenced backyard so am able to let the dogs our into the back for a run around, I also live a short walk from the forest which I love to go walk around. I'm happy to have dogs/cats in my room if they are more comfortable sleeping with someone or happy to set up a crate if this is better for the dog.

About: Welcome to a calm, attentive, and home from home experience for your pet. I provide a safe, caring, and relaxed environment where pets receive plenty of supervision, playtime, affection, and attention throughout their stay. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I’m also confident helping with basic training and routines for younger dogs and puppies. I’m based around the Chadwell Heath area with access to great walking spots and large open parks nearby, including beautiful areas around Gidea Park where dogs can enjoy long walks, fresh air, and plenty of stimulation. Whether your pet loves being active and social or prefers a quieter and more relaxed environment, I adapt my care to suit their personality and needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners always feel reassured, connected, and confident their pets are happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while away. New to Rover?

I also provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always feel reassured while your pet is with me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment with plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and care.

I understand every pet has different personalities and energy levels, so I adapt my care to suit them individually. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well looked after.

“Pleased with how David looked after my fur babies and ensured they were cared for as per the instructions given, as one of them has back issues. David always gives regular updates with pictures which is lovely. He was also very respectful of the house. I will definitely be using David again and can highly recommend him.”

About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
