“Teffni is a fantastic pet sitter! We have 3 cats, one who is outgoing & two that are shy, Teffni was so great at letting them get to know here at their own pace. She also handled their different food needs and Nibblers medicine. She gave us updates and pictures during each visit so we knew the boys were happy and well taken care of while we were out of town. We came home to 3 very happy cats! Will definitely book Teffni again!”

“Julianna was absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. They usually take awhile to warm up to strangers but Chestnut in particular came out to greet her every day and even Peanut (more shy) came down to see her. Julianna reached out to me before entering the house to make sure alarm was off and did a great job keeping me informed. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Khadija took care of my 2 cats for three days, through drop-in visits. I was very anxious to leave my little ones with a new person and what helped me to relax is the fact that Khadija answered my request very quickly. While I was away, each time I had a question to Khadija, she also answered me right away and I am very grateful for that. I met Khadija and her boyfriend at the meet and greet, they are both very pleasant, kind and caring with pets. Thank you very much to you both!”

About: While I haven't worked professionally in pet care, I've had animals throughout my entire adulthood. I currently share my home with a senior cat and a high-energy medium-sized dog, so I'm comfortable with pets at very different life stages — from playful and active to calm and gentle. I work part-time and study from home most of the week, so my schedule is flexible. Aside from Tuesday mornings, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'm typically able to spend 30 minutes to an hour per walk or drop-in, giving pets plenty of one-on-one attention. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog who LOVES to play. I do have a senior cat but she hangs out downstairs which is gated off and doesn’t have any interest in socializing with dogs. You can count on plenty of photo and video updates throughout our time together, so you always know how your pet is doing.

Melissa was super friendly and accommodating for our senior cat. She was attentive and respectful of the space, making sure to clean up after herself and to always lock the door when leaving. She made sure to send thorough updates on our cat's eating habits, litter box use, energy levels, and more to make sure we were kept up to date with how our baby was doing! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area.

Nuha made my trip so much more enjoyable by providing really great details about what she and my cat got up to. I also loved how many photos she sent. My friends who have checked in on my cat previously sometimes didn't send a single photo the whole time I was away! Using Rover and Nuha specifically was so worth it. Nuha also was very patient with me when my apartment complex door/security system had glitches. I'd 100% recommend her and hope to book with her again in the future!

Vidya is wonderful with our cats, caring and detail-oriented. She has managed to win over the shy one, and the outgoing one has liked her from the start. One cat is diabetic and also eats a special diet, and Vidya has handled these needs with aplomb. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in South Kensington on Rover is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $34 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 8,047 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Kensington. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
