“This is our first time using Rover, and obviously Colin too. Our little mini-daxy, Tippi, seemed to adapt well to Colin staying, and on our return was very relaxed and content. From occasional photo updates, to answering our questions about how she was behaving, his communication was excellent. Tippi has been well exercised, despite the rainy weather, socialising in new places we haven't taken her to before. Now, a couple of hours after our return, she is lying on the sofa just as she always does at this time, total relaxed as if we'd never been away. Colin has obviously made Tippi totally comfortable and relaxed, which is testament to his dog-sitting ability. Highly recommended.”

“Would thoroughly recommend Lily. Visited prior to sitting to meet Finn, asked all the right questions as has dogs herself, comms really good throughout and dog and house all good on return 😁. Thanks Lily!”

“Our girls had a fab time with Kirsten! All four of them warmed to her very quickly which speaks volumes as one of our dachshunds is very wary of strangers! Kirsten was personable and very down to earth, an added bonus was she also sent us pup-dates throughout our couple of nights away which was greatly appreciated and ever so thoughtful of her. We would not hesitate to book again! Thank you ☺️”

“Megan is lovely. Most importantly, our dogs loved her too. She did just what we had arranged, sent us photos and kept us up to date with what was going on at home, while we were away. We will be booking her again in the future. Thanks Megan, great job”

“Lucy was a brilliant dog sitter to our elderly dog and responded quickly and attentively to his needs and requirements. Lucy is a very good communicator, prompt and efficient. We hope to see her again soon.”


About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals, from dogs to cats to horse as well as rabbits and guinea pigs! I'm an adventurous, energetic and caring person who loves being outdoors and looking after animals. I'll make sure your pets are safe, happy, entertained and treated like they are my own. I can be very flexible to fit with your schedule, so please do get in touch and I am sure we can work something out. I live in the heart of martlesham reserve where there's plenty of nature walks and open green spaces for your dogs to have a roam around. I live in an enclosed boatyard so they can roam round freely and be safe. I am also very tidy and respectful so if I am pet sitting in your lovely home it will be left how I found it.

“Skye did an overnight cat sit with our cat Lilith for one night. Skye was communicative, sent photo updates and followed all instructions very well. I would recommend Skye for catsitting and would definitely rebook again. Thank you Skye!”

“Bianca was incredible in taking care of our spaniel Red! We had regular photo updates and we were at total ease knowing we could enjoy our day and he was happy and very well taken care of 😇 we’ll definitely be asking Bianca to take care of him again!”


About: We are a team of four experienced canine carers with years of hands on experience working in a professional dog daycare environment. We all work full time in a dog daycare and now are opening our rover books for the weekend! Between us we have an animal biology degree, hydrotherapy training and we have all completed relevant dog care and handling courses. We are passionate about providing calm, structured and enriching care in a small-scale setting, ensuring every dog receives individual attention, supervision and plenty of affection.

About: I have helped look after friends and family pets over the last 5 years. I love being out in nature going on long walks. I love all types of dogs. I have a history with small and big dogs. I have periods of flexible working from home. My own car so can travel to your pet. I do not have children so have good flexibility. I would prefer to walk your dog or can sit with your dog at its own house rather than at mine. I’m currently based in an apartment so not always ideal depending on the type of dog.
“Jill is amazing. We were a little apprehensive about going away without Gus our little whippet. We went and met Jill a few days before his mini break and she made us feel at home. Jill provided us with daily updates and we could relax, knowing he was having a brilliant time. Gus clearly likes Jill and has been very well looked after. We would definitely book Jill again. Gus would love to go on another mini break in the near future I’m sure 😊”

About: I'm a self employed healer and animal lover with over eleven years of pet sitting with Trusted Housesitters, including 44 five star reviews. I'm mainly based in the Woodbridge, Suffolk area but also spend time in North Norfolk and Hastings regularly so happy to offer my services there. I adore taking care of people's pets and appreciate how sensitive some animals can be. I offer a service that is empathic and includes energy healing as required. I always try to keep with pets routines and minimise any stress of having a new person around. I offer a professional service including excellent communication and attuned pet care with regular updates if required. My long background in social care has given me the gift of helping people feel comfortable and safe and this also extends to animals. I have worked with many rescue animals and appreciate the challenges they face, especially with other dogs in public spaces. I offer a service that includes both walks, medication, feeding and play time plus the energy healing. I'm also clean, tidy and very respectful of pets parents homes. I'm currently working part time and as a self employed therapist have flexibility on my times. I mainly offer support for morning, lunch and evening walks but I'm also available for full day pet care and weekends. When supporting dogs I follow the routine required of pet parents, often including two walks a day, feeding, and play time in the afternoon. I bond quickly with animals so I often find myself giving belly rubs! Cats being such unique creatures I support them in the way they wish, making sure they are fed and watered, nurtured and ensure outdoor access is provided if no cat flap is available. I have also supported with the care of tortoises, rabbits, fish and chicken - changing out the hay regularly and collecting eggs. I'm also available for horses and happy to change hay for them also.

About: Since the age of 13 I have looked after friends and families pets from cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and guinea pigs. Between the ages of 18-21 I worked off recommendations for house sits and now that I work fully remote I have the opportunity to be available throughout the day. I can provide many recommendations for peace of mind for overnight house sits, drop ins and walks 🐶 Im currently self employed as a social media manager and photographer so I have lots of time spent at my laptop at home. This way I can be entirely flexible around you and your beloved pets needs! In my own home I currently have no pets of my own so they will be my sole focus, with a fenced in garden. In your own home I will stay in constant communication with you and run through everything so we are both happy we will be keeping your family member safe

About: I work from home and live with my little 3 year old Labrador. I’ve looked after many dogs previously and quite often end up with my families dogs coming to stay as well. I’m up and out by 7ish with my Labrador, and she gets 3 good walks a day, either at the park or the beach or longer on a weekend when we can go exploring I have a fenced garden with grass and patio, my dog is very friendly and sociable so will play nicely along with others. I work from home so plenty of toilet breaks and multiple cuddles during the day
“I cannot thank Ben enough for the incredible care he provided for our cat, dog, and home while we were away. From the very start, he went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and our house was in perfect order. Our daughter was especially anxious about leaving our pets, but Ben put her mind at ease by sending regular, adorable pictures and updates - it meant the world to her. He kept us informed about everything, so we never had to worry. When we returned, the house was spotless, and our pets were clearly relaxed and well-loved in our absence. Ben is truly reliable, caring, and professional - we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. If you need a pet and house sitter who treats your home and furry family like his own, Ben is the one. Highly recommend!”
“Sweta was great with Marnie, when we first had our meet asked all the right questions and made me feel at ease to leave Marnie with someone new, got some cute photos and came home to one very happy dog, Thank you xx”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, having a dog throughout my childhood into my teenage years and then walking, feeding and looking after friends and family’s pets since. I frequently petsit for a 1 year old and 13 year old dog so am comfortable looking after pets of all ages and care needs. I am currently working part time - roughly three 8 hour shifts a week. I get shift allocations 1-2 weeks in advance so can’t always let you know my pattern far in advance but always have plenty of time to devote to your pets:) I have an hectare of part fenced garden surrounded by open land and woodland, the perfect place for long walks and plenty for your pet to explore whilst staying safe and under supervision. I am happy to follow any guidance on how you’re comfortable for me to look after your pet, whether this is in you’re own home or mine!

Joselyn was a fabulous doggy sitter. She was very professional and caring. She asked lots of sensible questions about my pup's routines and habits so that she could ensure his safety and happiness. My pup ,Walter loved her and had a great day with her. Lots of walks, play and attention. Joselyn is knowledge about dogs and extremely trustworthy. Highly recommended.

Felix is a very friendly and trustworthy person. With little notice I had a last minute request to work away. Normally I would like to meet the person before booking, but after a video call and messages I could tell Felix is a reliable character. Felix stayed the night, my dog Fern was very happy and the house was in perfect condition when getting back. Highly recommended and will certainly book through Felix again if he wanted to return. Thanks again Felix!

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 Suffolk Coastal 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 Suffolk Coastal 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.
