Colin looked after our Cavapoo, Harry, yesterday and was absolutely fantastic. He is calm, kind, and very professional, and Harry responded so well to him straight away. Colin kept us updated throughout the day and was completely trustworthy. We felt totally at ease and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Kirsten was excellent, looked after our two aging boys very well and immediately put my wife and I at ease. She looked after our dogs very well and i'd have no issues recommending her again.

We were away for 2 weeks and Sarah stayed overnight and took good care of our 3 cats. She sent us photos and kept us updated when an issue with one of the cats came up. We cannot recommend her enough and we will definitely be in touch again next time we are away. Thank you!

About: I’ve my darling dog Toby for 10 years who was the sweetest border terrier you’d ever meet! Now with the nice addition of my cat Suki I have had for 4 years I have lots of experience handling and carrying for pets! I am currently working freelance so my schedule is mine. I am able to be very flexible wth my day to day to work around the needs of others. A good environment for animals is purely just about making it relaxed with a routine. For my pets, they have their feeding and exercise routines which makes the day structured.

Gary was absolutely brilliant looking after our Frenchies, Remi and Buster. It’s clear that he genuinely loves animals and treats them with great care, kindness, and attention. He took excellent care of them, made sure they were happy and comfortable, and followed everything we requested perfectly. Gary is a very reliable, friendly, and caring person a true animal lover. We felt completely at ease knowing our boy and girl were in such good hands. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we will definitely use him again in the future. THANK YOU GARY 🐾 🐾

About: • I'm an experienced live-in dog and house sitter who offers calm, consistent care, particularly for nervous, sensitive or rescue dogs who need patience and reassurance while their owners are away. • I've gained my experience through many successful house and pet sits, both independently and through TrustedHousesitters (where owners have consistently left excellent reviews). • Some dogs make friends straight away. Others need a little more time. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and helping them feel safe, comfortable and settled while you're away. • I work online (part-time), so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home. This is ideal for dogs who are used to having company or who need a little longer to settle. • I love being outdoors and usually walk twice a day myself. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle sniff around the neighbourhood, I'm happy to adapt to whatever suits them best. • I always stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine, whether that's favourite walking routes, regular mealtimes or simply having a cuddle on the sofa. • I'm based in Colchester and regularly travel throughout London and the South East, with availability across the UK for longer bookings. • I've completed Canine First Aid training and I'm continuing to learn more about canine behaviour and body language because I genuinely enjoy understanding what makes each dog tick. • One of the reasons I started house and pet sitting is that my own rescue dog had such a lasting impact on me. She taught me the value of patience and consistency. After she died, I wasn't ready for another dog of my own, and looking after other people's dogs became a way to stay connected to the animals I love. • I know it's hard leaving your dog with someone new. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip, and I'll always ask how often you'd like to hear from me. * I work online, so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home with them. * Morning walks, longer afternoon adventures or evening strolls, I can easily adapt to whatever routine your dog is used to. * I try to keep life as familiar as possible while you're away, so I do my best to follow your dog's usual routine for walks, meals, playtime and downtime. * I offer live-in dog and house sitting for overnight stays, weekends, holidays and longer bookings throughout the year. * Before a sit, I like to arrange a quick video call so we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure you feel completely comfortable before you head away. * Before each sit, I take the time to understand your dog's usual routine, from walks and mealtimes to favourite sleeping spots and the little things that help them feel settled. * I work online part-time, so I'm able to spend much of the day at home, providing companionship and helping your dog settle into their usual routine. * I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages while you're away. I'll also ask how often you'd like to hear from me, so you can choose the level of contact that feels right for you. * I genuinely enjoy looking after people's homes and take pride in treating every property with the same care and respect I would my own. I see myself as a temporary guardian of your home as well as your dog, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it.

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 looked after my Border Terrier for the day. They hit it off straight away, played in the garden and went on several walks. Lucy is a very nice person I would not hesitate to recommend her. Excellent communication, she answered all my questions during the booking very quickly. Booking through Rover was easy, with plenty of advice on the procedure.

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!

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’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for pets since I was around 10 years old. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as pets of different ages, personalities and routines. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so I always take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any individual needs. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility and means I can spend plenty of time with the animals in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow feeding and walking routines, provide lots of playtime and attention, and of course give plenty of cuddles to pets who want them! My aim is for your pet to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away and for you to be able to relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home which gives me much larger availability to care for my own animals and to give me time to care for others. I live at home with my mum so thankfully we also have someone in for my dogs/cats and I am able to do the same for someone else. I work full-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I can easily work pet care around my schedule, including regular feeding, toilet breaks, walks, playtime and lots of company. This also means pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, medication, walks and household rules. I make sure their environment is secure and pay close attention to their behaviour so I can spot if anything seems unusual. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Suffolk Coastal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Suffolk Coastal on Rover is £28.75 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 487 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Suffolk Coastal. 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 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.
