“We are so grateful to Leanne and Kane for their superb care of Roman. He adores them and we were well updated throughout their stay. We are delighted everytime they are available for a rebooking. Thank you.”

“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”


About: I have several years' experience taking care of your pets. I offer bespoke professional packages to suit your needs, and the needs of your pet, with safety of your pet being my number one priority, always. I am fully insured with Protectivity insurance. Sitting is my full-time job, and I can be available to look after your pet with the right amount of advance notice. I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I take care of your dog in your home, they will be fed, and where necessary, medications will be administered. Your dog will be taken for fun, adventure walks at the local parks, with plenty of socialising with other dogs, and lots of playtime!

About: As a cat owner (although we all know it's them that owns us!), I know how important it is that our fur-babies get the very best care. Leaving them behind can be difficult, which is where I come in 😊 I have loved and had cats throughout my life. I currently have a 1 year old called Taya, who is an absolute bundle of joy that loves to play. I currently work a hybrid job which allows me to be flexible and available throughout the week.
“Teresa was amazing from start to finish. She sent regular pictures and videos of Teddy to keep us in the loop of our Teddy was getting on. Definitely recommended Teresa to anyone, we will be using her again! Thank you xx”

“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.”

“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.”

About: I have 3 years of experience dog walking and caring for a variety of dogs. I also have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, attention and reliable care. I currently work in a veterinary practice and have completed my Level 2 Dog Grooming qualification, giving me additional knowledge of animal handling, behaviour and general wellbeing. I’m confident caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs, and always treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets around my work and personal commitments. I’m flexible with my availability and can provide walks, visits and boarding depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to discuss specific days and times in advance. I will only be offering pet sitting in the owner’s home, rather than boarding pets in my own home. I will follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
“Charmy was a wonderful dog sitter and a true companion for my little Maltipoo dog. She sent a photo with updates whenever asked, and I felt completely at ease with her skillful approach to keeping my dog calm and happy. 100% recommended to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter!”


About: Hi, I’m Tori! I’ve proudly run Auntie Toris Pet Sitting Services since 2019, providing reliable, loving care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I previously worked as a Veterinary Care Assistant, so I’m confident with feeding routines, administering medication (including tablets and injections such as insulin), and supporting pets with additional or ongoing needs. Alongside this, I have experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments – from puppies to senior pets, as well as more nervous or sensitive dogs who need a calm and patient approach. I also have cats of my own and regularly foster, including hand-rearing young kittens, so I’m very comfortable caring for more delicate animals too. I’m first aid trained, DBS checked, and fully insured, so you can feel confident your pets are in safe, experienced hands. Most importantly, I treat every animal as if they were my own, giving them the same level of care, attention, and love. Pet care is my full-time routine, not something I fit in around other commitments. I run my own pet sitting business, so my days are structured around the pets in my care – including walks, feeding, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. I’m home throughout the day for most of the week, which means pets are rarely left alone for long periods and can stick closely to their usual routines. I also keep my schedule organised to ensure each pet gets the time and attention they need, rather than overbooking. Because this is my main focus, I’m flexible and able to adapt to different needs, whether that’s early mornings, evening visits, or more frequent check-ins. I tailor my care to each individual pet to make sure they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and time to relax. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and sleep, and I always take introductions slowly to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything as familiar as possible. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication, so they feel secure in their own environment while you’re away. I have experience with a wide range of needs, from energetic dogs to more nervous or sensitive pets, and I always adapt my approach to suit them. I’m also confident administering medication if required. Throughout every service, I prioritise safety, routine, and lots of love and attention, and I’m happy to provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and kittens, as well as senior dogs and cats who may need extra care, medication, or a slower pace. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, cuddles, or maintaining training routines, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I'm available for boarding at weekends, and Monday and Friday I have a fenced garden to keep you pets safely! I can easily crate your dog if needed. And I can also play with them!
About: I grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. I've been told my house is the 'Dog Rehab' 🫡 They always leave feeling better than when they came. 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 have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs of all ages and breeds. I grew up from the age of 3 with a black labrador who I looked after for 13 years. I have also been around many rescue dogs such as 7 ex racer greyhounds of varying temperaments and ages. I have aided in the training of puppies including the basic training of a shin tzu and the crate training and basic training of a jack russell cross. At the age of 17, I completed work experience as a dog grooming assistant, teaching me about the varying coats of breeds as well as more on behaviour of breeds and noticing conditions such as fleas, worms, tics and matting. Since coming to university I have volunteered as a dog walker and pet sitter for dogs in my area and am well accustomed to meeting all types of dogs (rescues, seniors, youths, nervous, energetic, etc). I am currently a university student so will have plenty of time to look after and spend time with your pup! I am available at weekends for boarding and every weekday evening. I am also available during the day all day over summer break! I have a secure house with a garden so no need to worry if your dog is an escape artist! When leaving the house for walks, dogs will remain secured on lead to keep them safe (unless owners specify their dog has mastered recall and are confident with others taking their dogs off leash for walks).
About: I’ve always been around dogs whether that is puppies or fully grown and grew up with dogs of various breeds and sizes. Frenchies, balmastiffs, XL bullies, the lot! I do have a full time job, however I do have some flexibility depending on my shifts evenings/mornings. I am fully available on the weekends to be able to go for walkies and play days with your doggie. I have a good sized fenced garden and a lovable, playful dog to keep yours company with plenty of toys to go around. I can accommodate to your dogs usual routine of morning/evening walks and feedings- what ever will make them happiest.

About: I have looked after family pets - dogs, cats, horses, a parrot & a rabbit for over 30 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. I would also 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'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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Havering is £35
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Havering
Heqing is an awesome pet sitter. She stayed at my house and took care of Charlie, my other dog and cats and administered medication and kept to food and exercise times as requested. Heqing asked insightful questions about Charlie’s medical requirements and had obviously looked up his condition before she came to do a meet and greet. She is punctual, reliable and kept in touch throughout the time I was away. I have complete confidence in recommending her as a pet sitter and will absolutely have her back to look after my floofs when I’m away again.
Brooke was a great pet sitter. She took great care of my dog Poppy and 2 rats. She stayed for 10 days and gave me regular updates and even sent some pics. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she is a lovely, caring and reliable person. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Thank you so much to Trisha for taking such good care of my boy Phoenix! I felt completely at ease with having Trisha stay at my house for a week and she went completely above and beyond for us for the entire time, she kept in contact with me every step of the way and I am so appreciative that she spent every moment with him. I’m honestly so glad to have found her and I love the bond she has with him now, he will really miss her and that’s why I’ll be sure to keep in touch! As well as looking after Phoenix so well she also kept the house so lovely and helped with so many extra chores which made returning to home so easy after a holiday, I honestly cannot thank her enough!

David and Elenor looked after our two bulldogs and our home for a fortnight. I could not recommend them enough; they were professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. I received regular photographs and little cute updates, putting my mind at rest and letting me enjoy my holiday knowing my pooches were in the best hands. Thanks again, guys. I can't wait to book them again.

Adina was amazing! She stepped in at the very last minute to dog sit my puppy and was an absolute lifesaver. Super responsive, punctual, and caring. Hugo adored her. Since I was traveling, she really put me at ease and sent me loads of updates, pictures and videos. I’d highly recommend her services!

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 Havering 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 Havering 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.
