Hannah arrived on time and looked after Marco extremely well. He is currently on medication which Hannah was happy to give him during the house sitting. We were kept updated on how he was doing, including photos and Hannah ensured he had plenty of garden breaks during the visit. Overall we were very happy with the care Hannah gave Marco and would/are happy to have her house sit for Marco in the future.

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: I work in private healthcare. I am an avid hiker, enjoy photography, reading and food. I had studied psychology, which is highly applicable to animals, regarding training and understanding. Growing up I have cared for animals, since birth we have had cats, and since nine we had dogs. We had three dogs, and five cats, the eldest cat living till 27 and dogs living till 16 years old. Throughout this, I have actively participated in looking after our pets, from puppy/kitten through senior years. along side this, I have looked after horses, fish, reptiles and other dogs. 🐕 I have previously handled multiple breeds including, bullmastiff, pitbull, staff, ridgeback, frenchies, English bulldogs, Shih Tzu, chihuahua, labs, golden retrievers and more. so I have rather a wide knowledge of dogs. Overall, I have cared for a multitude of animals: horses, farm animals, fish, reptiles, cats, hamsters, birds, and many more. 🐾 If you have and queries, please message me, thank you ☺️ I am currently working full time. However, my occupation hours are abnormal, allowing me to care for pets in my spare time. Please message me for availability 📩 I am able to deal with a wide range of pets, breeds, sizes, and requirements. Animal welfare (mental and psychical health) is highly important to me. I am able to follow instructions, rules and preferences. Additionally, I can administer medication, give emotional support and aid their physical needs. Updates on pets are available, which will be asked upon finalisation of agreement. 😊 When walking I carry a slip lead and other extra precautionary devices to avoid emergencies while on walks. In despite of this, I walk dogs in areas they are likely to thrive in, based on personality, age, ability, and general characteristics. Meet and greets are necessary, I want dogs to be comfortable with a new person in their environment, it also allows me to get the chance to know your pet a little better. Nevertheless, once they are being cared for, I will give them everything they need and more.

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.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and they are constantly the best thing in my life. I’ve always loved animals but having pets that become part of your family is so special which is why I would love to help anyone out as I know it can be difficult at times to make sure they’re living as happily as can be! I work part time and am in college a few days a week but I still find myself having a lot of spare time especially in my evenings from 3 onwards. I also have two days off college where I feel I could be a lot of help to others even just for a dog walk. My routine never changes it is the same weekly so I would be happy to schedule weekly sessions to keep routine. I have a fenced garden so no escaping I’m afraid😂 I am more then happy to crate your animals if needed as I understand keeping them in your usual routine is important. I have a dog and a cat who love other animals which of course will keep yours company !

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tendring

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Tendring on Rover is £41.63 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 602 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tendring. 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 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.
