“Colin cared for our dog, Harry, last week while we were away, staying in our home to keep Harry comfortable and maintaining his daily walks. He is trustworthy, courteous, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful—thank you so much”
“Lily was great with our cockapoo, she looked after him for a few hours to build up to a longer stay. Arrived home to a very calm dog! Thank you Lily, look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Very happy with the lovely Ren, she kindly popped round ahead of the booking to meet Lessi- she can be a bit of a nervous dog with new people so this really helped both of us feel more comfortable the next day. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and Lessi was clearly having a lovely time with her. I have already made some further bookings. Thank you Ren! x”
“Caramel was lovingly looked after by Jasmine and the two of them got on so well. I know this because Caramel was calm and happy when I got back to the house. Jasmine followed all the instructions for administering her meds and meals and the all important walks 3 times a day. I would happily recommend Jasmine as someone trustworthy & who just loves animals.”

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.

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.
