“Jess looked after Rex again and, as always, she was absolutely fantastic. She took such great care of him, especially considering he’s just recently been castrated. She was really mindful of his recovery, keeping his walks short and appropriate while still making sure he was happy and comfortable. We really appreciated the regular updates—it gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such safe hands. Jess also left the house spotless, which is always a lovely touch to come home to. Rex clearly adores her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jess again. Highly recommend!”


“We met daisy a few days before she come and stayed at our house to look after our 4 bouncing bombs. She was a plaewuare to meet and hit it off with the dogs straight away. Jax suffers from anxiety so was a big deal for me due to having bad experience before when leaving them. But daisy made sure they Jax was put at ease and looked after. She treated them as her own and looked after our home which is exactly what we wanted we definitely recommend daisy and will live to get daisy to look after our dogs again if they haven’t scared her off with there constant kissing and madness ☺️💙💙💙💙”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with a dog has taught me how different each one is, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. When I was younger, I even started a little dog walking business in my local area because I loved any excuse to spend more time with dogs! I have These days, I regularly look after friends' and family's dogs whenever they need a hand, whether that's for walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I'll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs, dogs who have just undergone serious medical procedures and puppies, so I have a range of experience that allows me to provide the right care for your friend. I have a flexible schedule thanks to my zero-hour hospitality job, meaning I can dedicate lots of time to looking after your pet. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and being outdoors, so I’d love the opportunity to include your dog in my routine. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’d love to provide your pet with plenty of care, companionship, and attention, whether that means exciting walks, playtime, comforting company, or regular check-ins. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always adapt my care to suit their individual needs and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m happy to offer pet sitting in my own home, but I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. Keeping their familiar routine and surroundings helps them feel at ease while you’re away.

“Tanvi C is the first house sitter that I have used and initially I was worried. However, as soon as I met Tanvi I felt instantly reassured that my precious pup would be thoroughly spoilt. Cheno has been so well cared for and has formed a bond with Tanvi which is obvious from the photos. Tanvi has looked after my house perfectly and I have been very impressed from the start. Tanvi has a clear love for animals. I have been able to have a relaxing break knowing all was fine at home. Thank you Tanvi. T.”

About: I’m a first-year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for dogs and animal care. I grew up around dogs and began training my own reactive dog from a young age, which gave me a deep understanding of canine behaviour, body language, and positive reinforcement training. Alongside my studies, I actively train and compete in agility, so I’m confident handling energetic, intelligent, and high-drive dogs as well as those who may be nervous or require a calmer approach. Through placements in veterinary clinics and groomers, I’ve gained hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments, particularly anxious or reactive dogs. I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for pets, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, structured play, training games, or simply needs gentle companionship and reassurance, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my routine as a vet student at the RVC. My schedule is quite flexible, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding times, play, training, and companionship, and I’m often available during weekdays as well as evenings and weekends. I prefer to care for pets in their own home whenever possible, as I find this helps them stay relaxed and comfortable in a familiar environment and routine. I always take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, introducing myself calmly and allowing them to warm up to me in their own time.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to provide personalized, skilled care across every stage of your pet’s life. For **young pets**, I offer structured support with housebreaking, basic obedience, and high-energy play. For **seniors**, I provide gentle, attentive care tailored to mobility needs, strict medication schedules, and extra comfort. Above all, I prioritize clear communication and daily photo updates so you always have complete peace of mind. I would stay in your home for the agreed booking, providing dedicated care, companionship and reassurance while maintaining the dog’s familiar routine in their own comfortable surroundings. 🐾❤️ I provide loving, reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them feel safe, happy and relaxed while you’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routine, ensuring they receive the care, attention and companionship they deserve. 🐾❤️
About: As well as having our own cats and dogs since myself and my partner were about 8 years old, in our adult lives we have house sat or looked after various family members and friends dogs and will continue to do so! I work full time, but from home on Wednesdays, so can happily take care of pets on this day, as well as every other weekend! Happy to have pets stay for full weekends too! We have plenty of space for pets inside and outside of our house, including a conservatory and fenced garden. I’m also happy to go to pet owners houses to feed cats and other animals on preferred days if needed.

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 Thurrock 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 Thurrock 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!

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 use the 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.
