“Nicole was fantastic to work with, she was flexible, caring, and a fantastic communicator. She updated and knew our Nugget was being well looked after. Highly recommend!”
“Ainhoa looked after our Jack Russell for 6 days. We were away of UK and she stayed at our home during the days. She followed our instructions and was sending us pictures and small videos everyday. We found the house clean and Roki was well looked. If we need a sitter again, we will definitely contact her again.”
“Adriana did a great job with Bailey. He can be an excitable dog and Adriana immediately seemed to settle him and put him right at ease, which made us feel completely confident in leaving him. During the sit we were kept updated with how things were going and we came back to a happy and content dog, which is always the main thing. Would absolutely recommend Adriana.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and always bonded well with them. Ranging from retired Greyhounds to Cavapoos, I have a passion for looking after animals of every size. I regularly look after family and friends' pets and I started as a dog walker in March 2026 in NE London. I decided to take a break from corporate life and spend more time outside looking after our four paw friends and hopefully make it a full time job. I am a qualified first aider for dogs, completed a course in training dogs and I am currently taking courses on dog behaviour. I currently work part time as a dog walker in NE London during the week and I am looking to expand to house/dog-sitting across London and perhaps find a few more clients for regular or one off dog walks. I have a very flexible schedule and I have my own vehicle. I ask owners to provide emergency contact and vet information, description of the dog's character, diet and routine so to make sure the dog is kept as happy as possible with a regular routine whilst owners are away.
“Sepideh is a dream cat sitter. She kept my Zinnia very happy and safe. Plus, she sent me lots of photos and updates. She was flexible, communicative and very friendly. Would 100% recommend and rebook. Thank you!”
“Kelly was incredibly kind and gentle with Wasabi. Wasabi had a wonderful time with her, and it was clear that Kelly is reliable, caring, and attentive. We felt completely at ease knowing Wasabi was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again!”
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’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 9 years old. A few family and friends always had them around, loved taking them for walks and giving them treats! Im currently self employed, so I have some flexibility to look after and walk your pups! Free most week days & Sundays - also happy to help whilst you’re away Happy to look after and care for them in your environment and taking them for walks local to you, if I had a bigger place I’d 100% take them in here :)
About: I've been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, from energetic young ones to slower, older dogs who just want company and a comfortable routine. Senior dogs are where I'm happiest. I've got a lot of patience for the extra care they need, whether that's shorter, gentler walks, keeping an eye on how they're feeling, or just being around so they're never on their own for long. I work from home most of the day, so your dog isn't shut in waiting for me to get back. There's someone here, the routine stays steady, and there's always time for a walk, a play, or a nap on the sofa. I offer boarding at mine, dog walking, drop-in visits and day care, and house sitting in your own home, so we can find whatever suits you and your dog best. I look after other people's dogs the way I'd want mine looked after: carefully, calmly, and with a lot of affection. I work from home, so my day is built around being here rather than rushing out. Mornings usually start with a proper walk before I settle into work, with breaks through the day for play, toilet trips, and a bit of fuss. Lunchtime is another walk, or a longer wander if the weather's good. Evenings are relaxed: dinner on time, a final stroll before bed, and plenty of company on the sofa. I keep to whatever routine your dog already knows, since that's what keeps them settled. If your dog has set feeding times, medication, or a walking schedule, being home all day means I can stick to it. In my home, your dog gets a calm, clean space with room to relax and somewhere comfortable to sleep. I keep doors and gates secure, never let a dog I don't know off-lead until I'm sure they'll come back, and introduce new dogs slowly so nobody feels crowded. In your home, I stick to your house rules, keep things tidy, and send photo updates so you can see your dog is happy while you're away. I'm careful with keys, alarms, and locking up. Either way, I'll always ask about vet details, feeding, allergies, and anything that makes your dog anxious before the first visit, so there are no surprises and your dog feels safe with me from the start.
About: I've always been an animal lover especially with dogs as they're loving and loyal animals. I'm happy to travel and take on board your doggys for the day! My rates are great and your dog will have a great time with me. I have a lot of free time on my hands to go on walkies! I’m good with all size dogs , but I mainly have experience with small and medium dogs , if you have any questions at all just ask. If you are wondering , my pup usually gets on with all dogs. If they do not get along I’m happy to walk them separately. I’m new to Southwark so don’t know the area much but I’m close to two big parks. Hope to see you soon! (Message me to arrange a Meet and greet!) I’m currently on starting MAT leave so I’m available throughout the week. (Availability could change for a few weeks once my baby arrives) Note that I charge extra for travel and additional services I don’t normal have other dogs in my home due to me living in flat with a communal area but I’m willing to take on small dogs if they get on well with Bailey. I would take your pup on 3 walks a day and they would have separate meal spaces so there is no dog fights and everyone is happy!
About: I was born and brought up with dogs. From childhood, I have been involved in pet bathing, walking, feeding, and playing. I am also a volunteer with the Blue Cross of India. I am currently doing my internship three days a week and am free on the remaining days. I am very interested in taking care of pets, as I have had pets since childhood. I always prioritise a pet’s safety and comfort. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and pet-friendly with no access to harmful items. I follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walking, medication if any and playtime.
About: We have had dogs our whole lifes from children. We have a 15 year old cocker spaniel named Megan who Is absolutely loved and adored. We are comfortable with any breed or age. Medication not an issue. I Work from home 4 days per week and my husband 2 days so there is always someone at home. Regular walks are taken with our own dog Megan although not as intense now she is older. We Have a fully enclosed rear garden, plenty of sofas, beds, dog beds and toys for them to use as they wish. Also have two parks in the area that are very dog friendly.
About: Will care for and love your dog like my own. Have grown up with dogs and cats in the family. Whilst I prepare for a dog of my own, I enjoy walking, training and playing with friends dogs and would love to get to know your dog. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so happy to have a regular canine companion on those days. I may be available on some Tuesdays but couldn’t commit to every Tuesday. I can be available on weekends, day or evening. I live in a flat on the 5th floor with a balcony. Your dog would only be allowed on the balcony under full supervision. Your dog is welcome on my sofa. There is a large park less than a 10 minute walk away. I don’t have any pets so your dog will have my full attention.
“Isaac was phenomenal with my puppy Pixel. We had a confusion with the booking - which was totally my fault. Isaac didn’t make a fuss and rescheduled to another time. When he arrived he immediately put Pixel to ease and looked after the whole evening whilst we managed to get some City time. He comes across kind and trustworthy. I wholeheartedly recommend him and will be booking again.”
About: I am a 29 ear old girl who previously had a beautiful dachshund for 10 years before moving abroad to London. However, I miss her dearly and now have my own 10 months old friendly Dachshund named Pepperoni who loves other dogs. I am dedicated, clean and very loving with dogs. I am also very active and would love to take dogs on walks with me. I have previously cared for golden retrievers, poodles and german shepherds as well as cocker spaniels. I live alone right next to a massive park so am able to walk the dog and take it out for potty times. Let me know if you need my services and I will be more than happy to help you out!

About: I have taken care of and had animals in my home since I was a young child. I have had the pleasure of meeting and caring for family, friends and acquaintances' pets throughout my life; being around animals will always be my comfort zone. I am currently freelancing from home so I can be very flexible with the dates and times of bookings! Plenty of time to look after the pets. The house has a large living room and ground floor, including a large fenced grass garden for dogs to play or relax. I also give dogs the option of fresh air and play at daycare bookings if the owner permits.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Redbridge
Nicole was a lovely dog sitter. She is very communicative, attentive and sent regular updates. She happily arranged a meet and greet before the sit just to make sure Albe and her got along. Albe loved spending time with Nicole and was clearly well looked after. I would definitely use Nicole again 😊
Israel was absolutely fantastic with Titan! From the moment he took over, he treated Titan just like one of his own dogs. He constantly took him out, kept him well-exercised, and gave him so much love and attention while we were away. Israel did a house-sitting stay for us, and he was incredibly respectful of our home. He kept everything clean and tidy, leaving us with total peace of mind the entire time. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after your dog, I cannot recommend Israel enough. We will definitely be booking him again!
Kelly was incredibly kind and gentle with Wasabi. Wasabi had a wonderful time with her, and it was clear that Kelly is reliable, caring, and attentive. We felt completely at ease knowing Wasabi was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again!
Susanna is such a great find on rover. She was able to accommodate us last moment and was so understanding of all the requirements of our demanding animals. Returned to a very neat house and happy pets, she also sent us the cutest photo updates. We would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Khushi looked after our dog for the day and we had a great experience. She was kind, reliable, and clearly very caring with animals. We came back to a very happy and relaxed dog. We felt completely at ease and would happily trust Khushi again in the future. Highly recommended!
Annie has been great looking after Zeus! Communication was great and she made sure she followed Zeus’s routine and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. The communication beforehand was great as well - making sure we felt comfortable before the handover! Would recommend Annie! Thank you!
Karly was a great sitter! One of those people you can just tell loves cats! Our boy is very clingy, but when we came home he barely even glanced at us, which is a sure sign that Karly gave him all the attention and love he needed while we were away (and he needs a lot!). She really went the extra mile with his care and was super helpful with things like bins and mail, asked clarifying questions about his care, sent regular updates and pictures, and left the house exactly as it was when she arrived. We also have catcams and she was very fine with them remaining on the whole time we were away, which I think really says good things about her trustworthiness. Very responsible and trustworthy, I definitely recommend her as your next catsitter!
Kelly did an amazing job looking after Lady- I would throughly recommend her and hope to rebook in the future. Kelly sent regular photos, kept the house spotless and even bought Lady a gift! We know Lady had a wonderful time with her and we felt completely at ease during our trip with this in mind. Thank you Kelly!
Faith was a phenomenal sitter for us and took exceptional care of Ophelia. Prior to the booking, Faith took the time to properly understand Ophelia's needs, play style, and overall well-being. Throughout the week, she provided daily updates and even helped Ophelia develop better habits—like sitting patiently while her dinner is prepared—which is something we’ve struggled with in the past. She even taught her new tricks that we are looking forward to practicing! We absolutely loved Faith's care and attention to Ophelia's needs, as well as her understanding of our communication style while we were away. It gave us total peace of mind during our first holiday apart from her. We would absolutely recommend Faith to any pet owners seeking a knowledgeable and caring sitter who treats your pet like their own. Thank you so much, Faith; we came home to a happy, playful cat who truly enjoyed the time she spent with you.
Rebecca was such an amazing sitter for my cat and dog. She is a super proactive communicator and genuinely showed care for my pets. She remembered all the little keep-in-minds (I have an anxious kitty on a prescription diet!) which I really appreciated. She went above and beyond, even getting extra treats for the dog and keeping the flat in lovely shape. My pets instantly took to her warmth and they look forward to the next visit already :)
First class service! Alice was incredibly reliable and took excellent care of Wasabi. She arrived on time and looked after him attentively throughout the day. Wasabi was clearly very happy and comfortable in her care. We will definitely be booking Alice again and would highly recommend her to others without hesitation.
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🥰🤩🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Redbridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Redbridge on Rover is £34.5 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 15,941 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Redbridge. 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 Redbridge 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 Redbridge 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
