About: I have a genuine love of animals and practical experience of caring for neighbours, friends and family pets. I also have theoretical knowledge a level 3 extended diploma in animal management. I am confident with daily walks, feeding schedules, following care instructions and making sure pets are safe, happy and always looked after whilst in my care. I am reliable, trustworthy and caring and will treat dogs as if they are my own. From Mondays to Fridays I currently volunteer for the Essex Wildlife Trust so I am flexible and free to dog walk and house sit your pets including at weekends. I train and play football for a local club but am happy to accommodate looking after your much loved pet around these commitments. From the beginning I will want to get to know your pet so I will spend time bonding with them, playing, talking and keeping them company. I know that pets like consistency so I will stay close to their normal routine which I will ensure I fully understand by asking for clear instructions from you. This includes knowing feeding times, portion sizes and any dietary needs and health requirements, where and when they are walked and their comfort toys and sleeping habits. I will add details of your vet to my pet plan should a medical emergency arise. If your pet uses your garden I will check that the gate is closed and the fences are secure before letting them out and I will then supervise and clean up their mess. I will send you regular updates and photos and of course report anything of concern immediately. I appreciate that it's not only your pet that I am responsible for but also your home which I will do my best to keep clean and tidy and follow any house rules that you give me.
About: I worked with dogs that had behavioural problems and also fostered dogs with problems. I also worked with Tendring Animal Friends until they closed. I worked for the RSPCA in the assessment kennels and have worked with dogs with behavioural problems and fostered dogs I have been a dog owner for over 30 years and am extremely experienced. I live in a cottage with secure fenced garden with a wood and fields backing on to my home. I can even do beach walks. I do not have a dog anymore. I love dogs and do my utmost to provide a home from home stay for them. I can offer references Before booking any services you are welcome to view my home and a meeting can be arranged. I am also fully insured. Unfortunately I can only board small to medium sized dogs Jill I am home all of the time and don’t normally leave the dogs whilst they’re in my care. I can drive for walks to the beach if the dogs are used to cars. I’m only 20 minutes away from Frinton I try as much as possible to replicate their normal home routine. I have access to field walks without taking the dogs on a road
About: I’ve helped my parents walking our dog since he was a puppy. I’ll feed him on time and company him when his family aren’t around. I’ll make sure he has a familiar person during thunderstorms and fireworks. I’m currently working part time and will be free most days of the week. I’m an animal person so they fit in perfectly with my free time. I have a fenced and good sized garden where my dog can safely play and have fun. I make sure my dog has a walk and playtime. He has his food accordingly and a relaxing evening before bed.
“I am feeling Extremely happy. Our Communication via the booking went extremely well. I met with Lucia prior to going away and we got on like a house on fire :-) My cats warmed to Lucia instantly and upon my return were extremely relaxed and happy, it was like I had never been away. Looking forward to booking Lucia in the near future.”
“Charlotte dropped everything to walk Savannah when our regular sitter couldn't help. I will be forever grateful to her for her support, as I was able to go out and enjoy my birthday. Thank you, Charlotte :)”
“I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. On our first meeting she showed a real true care with my cats and they took to her instantly too. Working away is always a worry when leaving our cats in the hands of others, especially as we have two with medical needs, so finding Rover and Amy has been a blessing. To receive a notification when Amy is with them is of great comfort and to see daily check list and photos was very welcomed. Arriving home to a lovely clean space where the trays and food areas were spotless was wonderful and or cats look like they had a blast and love their new kitty nanny! I will be booking Amy for our Holiday next year knowing that they are in safe and caring hands!”
“Megan was reliable and kept us updated whilst we were away. For 10 days she did drop in visits to our kittens and stayed in good communication with us. This is the 2nd time we’ve used Megan and we would rebook her again in the future. She was great with our cats and they enjoyed her company.”
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 have a wealth of experience walking and looking after dogs throughout my childhood and later in adult life. I have also volunteered helping individuals with their dog walking business in the past. I would love to walk dogs of all shapes and sizes and have trained all my family pets. I work from home so can come to walk dogs in the morning, lunch or evening I am easily accessible. I am more than happy to work from home at yours so the dog does not have to go anywhere. I will quickly respond to your every need whether that’s photos or general updates. I care for dogs with love and attention. I like to walk and play some mental stimulating games as I feel that is very important. I can pop in for an hour to help with dogs and help do some basic training.
“Eloise is just perfect. She did an excellent job with Kaya and Coco, was always on time, and was willing to change the schedule last minute when necessary. Great updates and photos. Would recommend highly!”

About: From a young age I have always been surrounded by dogs and after years of pestering, my parents bought me a dog aged 13. Her name was Lexi; she was a white, fluffy Bichon Frise and she was perfect! I trained her, walked her everyday and gave her all the love in the world. Sadly, last year, she passed away and I have been craving some dog love ever since. I have just moved to London to pursue my acting career and would love to meet some dogs along the way! My availability is very good throughout the whole week. The only time I am unavailable is between the hours of 3-7 Thursdays and Friday evenings. Having had an escape artist of a dog in the past and looked after family and friends dogs right from pups, you can trust that I have the skills to create a safe environment, house train and crate train.
“Maddie did a great job looking after my cat Loki. She kept me posted with regular up dates the whole time I was away. Came back to a happy well looked after cat. Thank you Maddie :)”
About: I have a genuine interest in giving your dog the best experience possible, whether its taking them on an awesome walk or having them stay in our loving home. I have been the go to pet sitter for all my friends and family for a good few years and have now decided to expand and offer out my services a little further afield. I have my own dog agility club which my dog guests may be able to take part in on request of their owners. I have 2 dog of my own, both cross breeds, one small and one medium sized, they are friendly, kind and welcoming to new dogs, but are also up for playing. Im looking forward to hearing from you so we can discuss your needs. I currently work full time so am only offering drop In services and dog walking at present. I do shift work which means I will have different times avaliable. In the near future I will be offering boarding services, when I do, the dogs will get walked twice a day except on agility club days where my dogs and any doggy guests will accompany me at the agility field. On my days off we may go out for the day for a longer walk/adventure. if your dog prefers the quiet life then they can stay home and get a short walk and snuggle up. If it is dog walking service you are looking for I will be avaliable mornings and afternoons depending on my shifts, I can walk them solo or with my own dogs depending on your preference. Once I offer boarding services, your dog will become part of the family, joing in with our daily walks, games and snuggles.. I have a secure garden and my house is very close to a beach and nature reserve. When providing walking services I will walk them in the local area near your home unless a trip farther afield has been agreed.

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.

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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
