“Hannah and her partner Rob are fantastic - super polite, communicative, punctual and took great care of my pup Pickle, and my home of course during my recent night away. Absolutely would recommend and will rebook when I next have need. Thank you both :)”

“Lauren is a lovely lady... Bonnie felt comfortable in her presence immediately & soon settled down for cuddles... Lauren arrived at the agreed time & was very understanding of Bonnie's needs...We were updated with photos in a WhatsApp group throughout the day & Bonnie looked very happy... Would not hesitate to book Lauren again!!”


“Jordan was amazing house sitting for us and took such great care of our 3 little dogs! She sent regular updates, photos, took them out on walks and made us feel really as ease knowing our babies were being well taken care of! It’s clear to see the dogs loved her💞”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We honestly couldn’t recommend Rose highly enough! From the moment we booked with her, her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular messages and lots of lovely photos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Rose is such a kind, genuine, and lovely girl, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. Our dogs absolutely adored her, and we came home to three very happy pups. She also went completely above and beyond by cleaning the house and even doing the washing before she left, which was such a thoughtful surprise and so appreciated after travelling home. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, while keeping you updated every step of the way, Rose is the perfect person. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will definitely be asking her to look after our dogs again. Thank you so much, Rose!”


About: I have always had a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, invertebrates and reptiles, so I am happy and used to being around most critters! I love long walks in the country or by the sea but also like sitting and cuddling my pets for hours, so whatever your pet needs I can accommodate! I'm currently away from work (I was in the NHS doing ultrasound for 13 years) and am studying to begin my own company! Which means I have plenty of free time for walks and cuddles - middle of the day if you're at work or during the week if you're away! As I currently have a dog and cat in my house I don't feel it fair to offer to board pets unless they are OK with other animals (contact me with questions or requests). I am happy to stay at or visit your home and would be respectful of your space. I am of course happy to meet you and your pet ahead of time to ensure they and you feel comfortable with me!
“Nicole came to dog sit our two dogs in our caravan where we were staying as we had a wedding to attend. Nicole was really warm and friendly and made me feel like I could relax and enjoy my day without worrying if they were okay. She sent me an update with pictures during the day and it was so nice to see they were having fun. I couldn’t recommend Nicole enough. Thank you!”


About: I have lots of experience with animals - dogs in particular because I have had dogs my whole life. I also took my dog to behaviour/obedience dog training and agility training. I feel I have a strong connection with animals and can handle all types of characters and personalities. I have experience handling nervous dogs and reactive dogs and elderly dogs. I have never owned cats but my family members have lots of cats so I have experience with being around them and looking after them. I am currently a fully time university student looking to build up a bit of money alongside my studies by doing something I absolutely love which is looking after animals. Since being away from home I have found a huge gap in my life because I don’t have my dogs with me - this will allow me to be able to look after animals while I am away from home which is something I love doing. My days weekly vary and times I’m available based on my lectures but if you ping me a message I am sure we can sort something out - I am a very reliable person. I will always make sure the animal has its needs met and will follow the instructions left by the owner to ensure optimal care for the pet and peace of mind for the owner. I know how important your pets are as I have 2 dogs of my own at home and used to have a rabbit and hamsters. I absolutely love and adore all animals.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having two of my own dogs and caring for family’s and friends dogs. Unleashing happiness is my own dog walking business and I’m very proud to be doing this full time. I would love for you and your pets to join me and my team on many more adventures. I have a secure house and garden with high fences and a double door lock system on the front and back of the house which will help prevent escape artist. House is also fully fitted with CCTV system. I also provide crates if needed.
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals, including my own rescued cats, dogs, and horses. I have looked after three horses on loan, providing daily care, feeding, grooming, and attention to their individual needs. I have rescued and cared for two cats and have owned two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I have also worked at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, supporting the care of horses and running wellbeing activities that connected people with horses. Alongside my animal experience, I run my own small business offering therapeutic forest school work with children and nature connection experiences. This has developed my skills in patience, responsibility, observation, and creating safe, supportive environments for both people and animals. I hold an Enhanced DBS check and I am experienced in working responsibly with both children and animals. I am comfortable providing care such as: • Feeding and maintaining routines • Administering medication where required • Caring for animals with different needs and temperaments • Providing companionship, attention, and reassurance • Looking after animals in a calm, respectful way • Drop in pet sitting, or longer stay-in house and pet sitting if required I understand that pets are part of the family and aim to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives owners peace of mind while they are away. I currently work part time two days a week in a forest school monday and Friday, but have availability the other days, evenings and weekends. Safety, trust and caring for your environment, home and pet is paramount. I have an Enhanced DBS and have a wealth of experience and references.
“Our first booking with Rover and we couldn’t be more impressed with Shirley who was super professional, very easy to get on with and clearly loves animals. Our very elderly dog was so happy to be able to stay at home with such a kind carer Would recommend Shirley to anyone”

About: I originally trained and worked 10 years as a qualified veterinary nurse, caring for both cats and dogs. I developed an interest in dog behaviour, I then retrained to become a certified dog trainer in 2020 and have been a full time dog trainer ever since. I have a passion for gundogs and I am a Spaniel, reactivity and puppy specialist. I have a great passion for helping dogs owners to meet their dogs needs and resolve their behaviour struggles. I am currently in the process of completing a level 6 Diploma in canine clinical behaviour to further expand my business. Dogs and cats in my care will be well understood and looked after. All breeds and temperaments welcome. I am quite flexible with hours and times and happy to do weekends when I’m available. Looking after and training animals is what I do best. All cats and dogs will be kept to their normal routine as much as possible and loved like they were my own pet. Each pet is treated as an individual and all their specific needs will be met.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.
“Christina was a very professional pet sitter, she looked after our 2 dogs Button, who is a lively 3 year old Cocker Spaniel and our 16 year old Spaniel x Border Pippa. We had daily updates and photos of the dogs at home and out for lovely walks. Christina was experience with older dogs and administered Pippa's daily medication. When we returned home the house was left very clean and tidy. And very happy dogs. We would highly recommend Christina as your pet sitter. Graham and Sheila.”

“Lucy was a brilliant dog sitter to our elderly dog and responded quickly and attentively to his needs and requirements. Lucy is a very good communicator, prompt and efficient. We hope to see her again soon.”

“Thankyou so much to Georgia, we came home to two very happy and contented dogs. Would love for you to look after them again and will be going through our diary to find possible dates.”

About: I'm a self employed healer and animal lover with over eleven years of pet sitting with Trusted Housesitters, including 44 five star reviews. I'm mainly based in the Woodbridge, Suffolk area but also spend time in North Norfolk and Hastings regularly so happy to offer my services there. I adore taking care of people's pets and appreciate how sensitive some animals can be. I offer a service that is empathic and includes energy healing as required. I always try to keep with pets routines and minimise any stress of having a new person around. I offer a professional service including excellent communication and attuned pet care with regular updates if required. My long background in social care has given me the gift of helping people feel comfortable and safe and this also extends to animals. I have worked with many rescue animals and appreciate the challenges they face, especially with other dogs in public spaces. I offer a service that includes both walks, medication, feeding and play time plus the energy healing. I'm also clean, tidy and very respectful of pets parents homes. I'm currently working part time and as a self employed therapist have flexibility on my times. I mainly offer support for morning, lunch and evening walks but I'm also available for full day pet care and weekends. When supporting dogs I follow the routine required of pet parents, often including two walks a day, feeding, and play time in the afternoon. I bond quickly with animals so I often find myself giving belly rubs! Cats being such unique creatures I support them in the way they wish, making sure they are fed and watered, nurtured and ensure outdoor access is provided if no cat flap is available. I have also supported with the care of tortoises, rabbits, fish and chicken - changing out the hay regularly and collecting eggs. I'm also available for horses and happy to change hay for them also.
“Abigail looked after our dog for us while we were on holiday and he had the best staycation with her and her dog. We felt reassured he was having the comforts of a home away from home and were kept up updated with photos during his time there. Would definitely recommend Abigail she has a passion for dogs and our dog Reggie settled very quickly with her in her home! Abigail was brilliant and accommodating particularly as Reggie needed some extra care whilst he was recovering from a recent operation.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waveney on Rover is £28.75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Waveney 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 Waveney 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.
