“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.

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

“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”
“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!”
“5* isn’t enough of a rating! We absolutely loved Jill looking after our little Nala, she made us feel so reassured and we relaxed on holiday knowing she was in great hands. We got regular updates! We would use Jill again in a heartbeat. X”
“Karen was a delight looking after my lurcher Abi for the week! She was great at messaging beforehand, to arrange meeting & greeting Abi, kept up with communication throughout and Abi absolutely loved her! She gave her lots of cuddles, walks & made me feel so at ease knowing she was in such good company for the week at my place. She even left us a shepherds pie after a long drive home. Highly recommend Karen to sit your pet, big or small.”
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: I‘ve always been a dog lover and have always been responsible for looking after friends and family’s pets since I was about 14. I am patient and love any four legged friend and their individual personalities!!!! I work from home and can walk the doggos morning, lunchtime and evenings. I can also take them out for potty breaks too as often as needed☺️ I have a big open space in the flat and lots of green spaces nearby, can easily provide a crate and bed if needed :)
“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!”
“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”

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.
