“Nicole - what can we say! ❤️ It was the first time we’d left our little Willow with anyone other than family ever and a big occasion at which we were having to do so (our wedding) You cared for our sweet, old girl (17yrs), kept us updated throughout and completely put our minds at ease - we were feeling pretty stressed about leaving her From the very first communication you were brilliant, so communicative, understanding and you listened to all her quirky old dog needs! You are a wonderful person and we’d have no hesitation to recommend you to everyone! For Willow to be doing her old girl zoomies she must have felt incredibly happy and comfortable with you ❤️ Thank you for everything Nicole J&J x”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier. I grew up around them on my grandparents’ farm. I’m now a proud owner of two cats and a dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. With years of hands-on experience, I’m confident providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. As a student, I’ve built a routine that allows me to balance my studies with doing what I love, caring for animals. I have free time during the day and on weekends, which means I can give your pets plenty of attention, play, and cuddles. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I always follow the owner’s routine to keep pets happy and comfortable. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and have company if they like cuddles or just someone nearby. I’ll also keep the space tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our cats, despite their fussy routines! She handled all the meds perfectly as well and we came back to a clean house and happy kitties. Will definitely book her again in future :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.
“We recently had Sepideh watching our beloved senior terrier for 9 days at our home. Our dog is low maintenance in some regards, but has separation anxiety and a few health requirements that need detailed overall care. It’s very difficult to leave a 16 year old dog for such a timeframe, but Sepi was a real pro. She’s caring, calm and communicative. She kept me updated throughout our time away and sent photos and other updates. She took excellent care of our little doggy and I could see their bond right away when we returned. It was great to have Sepi staying at the house and she kept everything tidy. Would absolutely recommend Sepi.”
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.
About: Hi there - I’m Sirin, a calm and attentive experienced dog walker that is looking to take on walks with new fur friends all over London - my top priority is their safety and happiness, as i create a fun and engaging experience tailored to their needs where i take them for long walks by parks and safe areas 🥰x I’m available for any period of the day, using my time dedicating to my passion and love for animals. I provide safe and fun dog walking experiences. I easily adapt to each dog’s unique needs, ensuring they receive personalized care and attention. Whether it’s their preferred pace during walks or special playtime activities, I prioritize their comfort and happiness at all times.
“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: From a young age, I've always had a passion for animals, which led me to take care of pets in my own household as well as those belonging to family and friends. Growing up, I learned the importance of responsibility and compassion while caring for various pets, including dogs, cats, and smaller animals. This experience taught me how to meet their needs, whether it was through feeding, grooming, or providing companionship. Over the years, I’ve developed a keen understanding of different animal behaviors and how to handle them in various situations. Whether it was comforting a nervous pet or ensuring a playful one got enough exercise, I’ve enjoyed every moment spent with them. My journey in pet care has not only strengthened my bond with animals but has also instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and love for all creatures. I’m currently not working as I’m taking care of my toddler and he loves animal, he has been around cat and doggies and I would love to cuddle and give them all our attention and I think will be good for him and them. Creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where your dog feels comfortable at home. I follow your routine, give updates, and treat every pet like family.
About: Hey my name is Gess and I’m 25. I own two dogs and would often pet sit for my cousins two dogs at the same time, so looking after four dogs at once. Taking them all on walks, playing with and feeding them. I have experience dog sitting where I would stay at the house for seven hours, locking up, and then visit the next day. Other times it would be to pop in and out on the same day, and I have also done overnight stays where I look after your pet whilst making sure the house stays nice and tidy. Am happy to follow any weird or odd routine your pet may have (mine has to eat out of a plastic bowl whilst I tell him he’s bother is watching). Whilst I’m looking after your pet and providing them with cuddles and care, I’ll make sure to update you with quality photos and videos, to put your mind at ease and make the distance feel not that big. I have looked after an elderly dog in his last few years. I have experience in just dog walking too. I work in a school with sen children, so am fully first aid qualified and am used to mess and providing unconditional love. I drive and have no issues coming and going whenever you need, or staying over night. During school holidays I am available during week days or weekends anytime, but during term time I would only be available after 3:30pm on the weekdays but any time on the weekends. I work as an LSA in a school with children with autism. So term time I am only available on the weekends. However, when it is the school holidays or a bank holiday I am free whenever, both weekdays and weekends. I have two dogs, one who is poorly and needs a buggy to go for a walk. My other dog is very fussy and likes to have special routines at bedtime. I love animals and want to care for them always. When I go away I have a pet sitter look after my dogs, so I know what it’s like from both perspectives. You would have access to me 24/7 when I am with your pet, so that you can call, FaceTime or text me whenever you need. I’ll send pictures and videos and give you regular updates. I am happy to clean up any messes and provide specific care such as tracking their toilet progress or giving medication. As I work with vulnerable children, I am on the dbs update service and have plenty of training under my belt such as first aid. I understand what it’s like to need things a certain way so I am more than happy to provide the care you require and your pets need.
About: Hello! Cat mum of 2 little terrors - 1 14 year old boy called Toosh and 1 4 year old girl called Joop. Joop was a new arrival and came as a stray with 3 kittens who have now been happily rehomed so experienced with cats of all ages. I use Cat In A Flat when I go away and know how nerve wrecking it is leaving them, so would like to offer a safe pair of hands to someone else in the same situation. Sadly don't have the space for a dog as well but an all round animal lover and lover of walkies, so happy to look after dogs as well!
“Ri was great with Ziggy! No issues at all and kept the place tidy. Needed a dog sitter last minute and she was able to accommodate. Kept in touch during the dog sit and made me feel comfortable after not having the best experience with the previous dog sitter. Highly recommend! Thanks Ri!”
About: I have lived with cats and dogs all my life. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats that I live with from an 11 year old cat and 1 year old cat, to a large lab-Shepard puppy and 8 year old Pomeranian. So all ages, size and breeds, I am well adapted. I am currently studying on a self taught course. My schedule is pretty flexible and can often do same day bookings if required. From dog walk, to house check up on the animals and keeping them entertained for a little bit part of the day. Allowing them to go the toilet , socialize with a walk if required. I have experience with large and small dogs. I can offer service to house sit or let the animals out for a toilet break. If required offering a short walk to stretch some legs.
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: Hello everyone I am 27 years old I work full time in early years I’ll be able to attend to the cat early morning or evening time as long as the flexibility of the time is okay weekend anytime.I have a cat his name is Tom, Tommy, yum yum also known as Tom the talking cat I named him that after that game from when I was young he is 8 years old tabi. I can cover all the areas in east London I am also willing to work in Canary Wharf, Romford, Dagenham, barking, Ilford, Redbridge.
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Redbridge is £35

Lily was absolutely unbelievable! My dog does not take well to new people and Lily handled her like an absolute professional. She was flexible and adapted to the situation based on what was best for my dog and allowed me to fully relax on my holiday despite how nervous I was to go away. She is calm, cool, and collected even in the face of a very nervous and stressed out dog and I can’t thank her enough for how wonderful she was!
We had the great pleasure in meeting Nicole and welcoming her into our home for just over a week to look after our beloved Cat. Nicole was friendly warm and professional from theoutset. Arranging to meet us ahead of the stay and also coming over the day before to pick up keys and for a final check of everything. Nicole was absolutley fantastic and seemed to have a way with our Cat that not many others do. She connected stright away and was very knowledgable about animals. We had great confidence in leaving her at our home and looking after our cat. Whilst away Nicole kept us fully updated with texts and photos which kept us amused and also allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Upon returning home, the fatat was spotless and the cat wass very relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate in asking Nicole to come and do this for us whenever we go away again - THANK YOU NICOLE, absolute pleasure!! :-) Gary and Claire
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🥰🤩🐾

The average cost for House Sitting in Redbridge on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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
- 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.
