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!

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.

Rocco had a good time with Morgen. Rocco can be a bit much cos he loves people and just wants to play and being a strong boy he can get a bit much but Morgen was great.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Growing up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, tortoises and more has shaped me and I love to nurture and hang out with pets. As well as for my own family, I have dog sat for family friends and have always prided myself on being responsible, respectful, and loving to all furry friends no matter what! I work part time so am open to many dates including weekdays and weekends! Mornings are always best but I am also up for a full day or multiple days where my schedule allows it! I am extremely reliable and organised and am happy to negotiate for times that suit you! You and your pets will be my top priority! When staying in your house, I will continually be respectful of your space and your pets routine in order to build trust.

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’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

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 £40.25 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 636 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.
