“Hannah looked after our miniature labradoodle and cat for a week brilliantly. She was really conscientious, trying all sorts of ways to get Spirit (fussy eater) to eat. She also looked after my home beautifully and left it incredibly clean and tidy. Thank you Hannah!”

“Lucia took care of our lovely old boy Stanley, she was caring and considerate of his needs. She kept us well updated with lovely photos of how their weekend together went. We would love to use her again as would Stanley 🐶”
About: Hi, I’m Steph :) I have been bought up with dogs all of my life; when I was a baby I had our pet Rottweiler by my side 24/7. Then throughout my childhood we had red setters, retired greyhounds & staffy’s as part of the family. I currently have a little staffy named Blue. She is almost 9 years old and is a complete softy who needs cuddles all day long. Which is why she needs three walks per day, to have a break from the cuddles ;). I absolutely love animals, dogs especially because their personalities are so bubbly and unique. I love keeping active so dog walking/sitting is an absolute dream of mine, and seeing doggos happy makes me so happy too. I hope to shake paws with you soon 🐾 I currently work independently for myself from home, so I am flexible for all timings, 7 days per week. All I ask is to have 1 week notice for all bookings. Ideally I would like to have some homes that I can visit on a regular, long term basis so I can really get to know your pets and they get to know me :) All of my services will be home visit based and I will gladly provide all of the care and attention your pet needs for the duration of the time I am with them. I am very caring and attentive when it comes to animals, so you will return to a very happy pet when you come home. I am happy to feed and walk and provide any extra attention that your pay needs.

“Kyla looked after our cat, dog and house for a week. We received photo updates and responses to any messages. Our house was spotless when we returned and the animals seemed very happy, if not slightly disappointed that Kyla wasn't there anymore!! I'd highly recommend Kyla and will be booking her again.”
“Morgen and Megan were fantastic sitters for Amaya, our German Shepherd, reliable, caring, and communicative throughout. Amaya was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. We’d definitely recommend them and book again!”
“Megan was a pleasure to have in our home and look after Poppy. She was easily contactable during our holiday and Poppy was a happy healthy dog on our return. She left our home tidy, and was respectful of our home. Will definitely use Megan again in the future.”
About: Having grown up with dogs of all sizes I miss having one around more than ever! I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup for daytime drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays. I’m currently working Weds-Sun in Colchester, finishing at 3:30pm - so would be available all day Mondays & Tuesdays or from 4pm the rest of the week. Whatever works best for you and your dog/s, I’ll be happy to follow the guidelines that you feel most comfortable with in your home/ environment.
About: I am a friendly and fun dog lover. I am a secondary school teacher who works during the weekdays! At the weekends I love to spend time with my dogs Myles and Arko, and I also love to be active. I am available during half terms including the 6 weeks summer holidays to dog sit your in your own home or to drop in where it is needed. During the half terms and weekends I have no commitments and therefore your dog would be my only priority alongside my own! I work week days as a secondary teacher with availability from Friday evening- Sunday evening! I also have every school holiday/ half term available for pet care! I will look after your pet in your own home with the routine that they know and love. Each of my visits are tailored to what your pet needs and what you would like from my service.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and sometimes babysit my sisters dog and cat, I’ve also been entrusted by neighbours and friends to care for their pets whilst they’re on holiday. I work part time so could definitely make time for pet care within my schedule, I have clubs and hobbies but I’m confident that timings can be sorted! I wouldn’t necessarily pet sit from my house just due to my current circumstances! However this may change in the future. As for a pet owners home, however you feel comfortable! I know each dog/cat has their own quirks and personalities.
“Our dog regularly gets cramp in his hind leg after treatment on a tumour 3 years ago. We booked a kennel for one night so that we could attend a family wedding, but as the big day drew near concluded it wasn't right to leave him in kennels potentially unattended for stretches of time. The weather was also getting very warm. Having tried a couple of local dog sitting services who were already booked, we tried Rover. Given it was now only 3 days to our event we were delighted Lee agreed to pet sit. We met the day before so our boy could meet Lee and vice versa. Such a relief our boy could be calm and comfortable at home with someone on hand to help if his leg got stuck. Very reasonable price for the peace of mind and service. Thank you”

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 Tendring 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 Tendring 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.
