About: I have taken care off dogs since I was very young. I did dog sitting and house sitting when I was in school and really enjoyed making bonds with not only the dogs but the families as well. I have lived with dogs all of my life. Big and small. I am currently working in a nursery with young children. I have a flexible schedule normally and I am always available after 5:30pm everyday. I am completely free on weekends and are more than willing to pick up any jobs last minute. having my own dogs, I always ensure to make time for there everyday needs no matter what is going on a and will ensure that your pooch has the same. I thrive to build a safe and comfortable environment in which me and your fur baby can connect. I thrive for outdoor play and will ensure that not only does your dog not only has plenty of snuggles but plenty of enrichment outside as well. I love to walk as I am sure your pooch does too !

About: Hello. I'm Dan, 34 years old and a lot of free time giving me the opportunity to help you and your pets. I'm an avid animal lover of all types and would welcome all invitations to walk, watch over and treat your best friends as mine too. I like to stay active, keeping a regular walking distance everyday and would happily welcome company on those walks. Whether that be short routes around the neighbourhood or a much longer trek in the hopes of tiring them out by the end of the day. I am a licenced first aider with lots of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past with severe medical conditions and other special requirements. In those situations I'm well trained to remain calm under pressure and skilled at assisting your pet in times of need.

About: I am 27 and a Dental Hygienist! I absolutely love cats and have always wanted to have the opportunity to look after them. I have always offered to look after my friends cats when they are away and with owning a gorgeous cat named Squidge myself, I understand how important it is to pick the right person to look after your cat. I have previously looked at some catteries before going on holiday and have found that there are many workers at catteries that don’t seem to have a passion and love for the cats there and I feel that it is so important to do so!

About: - 13+ Years Collective Experience - Personalised Pet Care - Senior Dog / Cat Experience - Daily Exercise Guarantee - Special Needs Dog / Cat Experience I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 9 years old, including three dogs and a cat. I took on the role of main dog walker, making sure our pups were well-exercised, bathed, and fed with love. Three years ago, my dog and I completed a 6-week puppy training course, where I picked up a variety of techniques for handling dogs and encouraging good behavior. I’ve cared for senior dogs who need a bit more time, patience, and attention—whether it’s during a walk or a quick drop-in visit—and I’m just as comfortable with energetic puppies too. Every dog is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. With animal care being my full time job I have plenty of time during the day to take your furry friends on walks and pop in for visits whenever needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting theirs, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or just some quiet company. I’m attentive to their body language, energy levels, and any special needs they may have, especially with older pets or puppies. Cleanliness, safety, and respect for both the pet and the home are always top priorities.

About: I provide extra attention and care to pets. Because of how meticulous I am, I easily and quickly notice changes in their personalities or moods which is very necessary in picking up signs of health issues or any distress. I believe it is very important to treat animals with love and provide them with all the care possible. I have catered for different kinds of pets so I am very aware that different pets require personal attention and care specific to them because temperaments and behavioural patterns are different. That helped me understand better how to train pets based on their individual/personal circumstances. Every pet is a new joyful experience for me. It warms my heart to care for them which makes me feel like they do more for me. I love them.

Andrew was great, he looked after our dogs in our home for a week. The dogs really took to him quickly and enjoyed having him around. One of dogs took poorly and needed veterinary attention quickly. Andrew ensured this happened and kept us up to date with his progress in the days that followed which was really reassuring. We would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone wanting their dogs cared for in their own home.

About: I’ve started caring for animals since I was 10, starting with small rodents like hamsters and rabbits, even having fishies multiple times. Since 13 I’ve looked after my two Jack Russel Terrier mixes who are inseparable. They have PTSD and have come out of their shell amazingly and are now older dogs but still loving all the same. I also now have a Cockapoo who has major separation anxiety when away from my mom and I keep her so happy and entertained. I’ve cared for manny animals for others in the last 4 years, from a French bulldog with dietary requirements, special walking needs and anxiety to a bigger golden retriever who is caring all round. I’ve fostered a handful of kittens and cats before finding them a loving and caring forever home, I’ve looked after manny dogs and even smaller pets like reptiles and rodents. I am currently in University however it doesn’t take up every day of my week, this means most days of the week I will always be free. As for weekends, I can move things around to suit your best needs! When it comes to your home, I will be with the animal all hours of my time there, minus my own toilet breaks of course ahaha, and will be walking them as needed or letting them out into the back garden to go toilet. I will make it my too priority if your fur baby has any special requirements they are met on time and at the best quality I can give.

About: I’m Sian and I’m my late 30s and I work from home. In 2024, I sadly lost my beloved 11-year-old German Shepherd and am now looking for dogs to share in some daily walks and enjoy some doggy companionship. I have plenty of experience with dogs, as they’ve always been a part of my family, and have had 2 rescue dogs of my own, so have lots of experience with anxious pooches. Don’t have any children, so I have plenty of time and attention to give. I love hiking and would be thrilled to have a dog join me on outdoor adventures! I work from home all week so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your animals. Happy to have them overnight too! I have a big house and garden, so plenty of space to run around and play. Your dog will love running around or chilling at my house.

Ash & Alex Thank you so so much for looking after our handful of a girl Stella! These two were hands down the most amazing people to have our fur baby - sent us updates while we were away and we felt completely relaxed knowing she was taken care of in such good hands!! She looked like she had the best time and I would 10000% recommend these two to anyone and everyone who would listen! We knew these were the ones for us on our first meet when they took Stella in their stride giving them kisses as soon as they sat on the sofa - we knew she loved them and they loved her! We went off to get married and these gorgeous two left us a lovely thoughtful surprise to come home to to congratulate us, they well and truly went above and beyond for us and we are ever so grateful We would absolutely rebook in future Again thank you so much x

FAQs for House Sitting - Stockton-on-Tees

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Stockton-on-Tees on Rover is £28.75 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 470 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stockton-on-Tees. 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 Stockton-on-Tees 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 Stockton-on-Tees 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
