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’m a huge dog lover with over 4 years of experience caring for my two dogs since puppies and I also volunteer with a dog rescue, so dogs really are a massive part of my life! Having two dogs myself, I know how difficult and stressful it can be finding someone you trust to look after them, which is why I’m here to help! I’m a proud mum to my daughter, a huge cuddler, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while they’re with me. Every dog in my care will be treated just like one of my own and I promise to send you updates so you feel at ease leaving them with me❤️ I’m currently on maternity leave, which means I’m around most of the time and can be really flexible with times, including those last minute plans! 🐾 In the New Year, I’ll be returning to full time work, but I’ll only be in the office 2 days a week and working from home the rest. Your dog will never be left uncared for. Me and my two cockapoos are always ready for walks, playtime or, most importantly, cuddles!❤️🐶 Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first! I have a fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing, giving your dog plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have two friendly cockapoos who absolutely love to play and will be more than happy to keep your dog company! Inside, I have a baby gate so dogs can be safely separated when needed. Dogs will have access to downstairs and will only go upstairs when accompanied by me, so I always know where they are and what they’re up to. I’m more than happy to take your dog out for walks during their stay. For their safety and your peace of mind, any dog in my care will always be kept on a lead when out on normal walks, regardless of how good their recall is. I also regularly hire a fully enclosed private dog field, where they can safely come off the lead, have a proper run around and play with my two! And of course… treats are never far away😂 I always have treats to hand, but if your dog has a favourite brand, allergies or specific dietary requirements, please bring their usual treats along so I can keep everything familiar and safe🩷
“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.”
“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!”
About: I've always lived with dogs and times when I've lived with cats too! We often had a litter of puppies about when I was growing up! I now have a pug who is my fur baby. I understand that pets aren't "just a pet", they're family, so they all have their own needs and quirks and how important it is for you to have someone trustworthy. I'm not currently working at the moment so am flexible when I can offer my services to suit you and you fur baby's needs. I've got a friendly pug if your pet would like canine company, or I can care for them alone if preferred. Im often down the beach but can adapt to whatever your pets needs are. If they prefer someone to pop in and give fuss and less keen on exercise, I'm happy to do that too!

“Steph was absolutely amazing while looking after my cat Hettie during my holiday. Her communication was brilliant throughout—regular updates, thoughtful messages, and the loveliest photos that really put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond in every way, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat, and I’m so grateful. I couldn’t recommend Steph more highly.”
“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.”

About: After 21 years working for His Majesty's Prison and Probation service, I finally decided to follow my passion to care for dogs. Since I was 8 years old, I have loved and taken care of my own dogs and those that belong to friends and family. I know how much dogs mean to their families but know that circumstances often mean owners need support to walk or visit their four legged family members. I am qualified in Canine First Aid, it is vital to keep your pets safe and happy in my care. Pet care is my only job so I have plenty of time to visit your dogs (to play, feed, toilet break, cuddle them) or to walk them (ensuring the walk is tailored to their needs). When dogs are in my care I will ensure they are always safe whether it be on a leaded walk or in your home. I also offer supervised off-lead play in my secure garden if this is required for your dog.
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 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.
About: Although I haven’t had a dog of my own, I have plenty of hands on experience caring for dogs. I’ve spent a lot of time looking after a dog who was very special to me, and I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs when they’ve needed someone they trust. I’m comfortable with the day to day care dogs need, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship and giving them plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and I’ll take the time to get to know them. I’m happy to follow your usual routines and instructions closely, including any specific feeding, walking or care requirements. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience and care I would want for my own pet. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care around my routine. I’m available for pet sitting and drop in visits from 11am onwards, including weekends. I have time to give pets the attention and company they need, rather than having to rush a visit around a full time working day. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, cleaning, playtime, walks and plenty of fuss and attention. I’ll always discuss your pet’s routine and needs with you beforehand so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in familiar surroundings and keep to their usual routine while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they have everything they need, including food, fresh water, clean litter trays, playtime, exercise and plenty of attention and companionship. For cats, I’m very happy to spend time playing with them, giving them fuss if they want it, or simply keeping them company if they prefer their own space. I’ll also keep their feeding and litter routine consistent. I’ll treat your home with respect and leave everything clean and tidy. I can also keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away, so you know how your pet is getting on.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
