Alicia was a great sitter for our two cats. She's very friendly and knows how to care for animals well. I'd highly recommend her to others who need a cat sitter.

Cindy is AMAZING! She took such amazing care of my boys, and I will continue to book with her when I go out of town. She is someone who you can trust and my cats warmed up to her very quick!

This is the second time Jason has walked Dizzy and he was incredible. My dog can be anxious and he is patient and caring, I'm a little worried Dizzy likes him more than me. I trust him in our home. He gives great updates. I am glad and grateful that Jason provides this service!

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!

This was our second time booking with Karen. She was very patient in getting our dog to warm up to her and making the visit a success. When we came home, I think our dog was almost disappointed that it was us and not Karen coming again - almost!

About: I've been dog walking ever since 2020, starting with my sister's retriever mix, my neighbor's dogs of similar size (85 lbs), and a family friend’s corgi. I'm used to taking care of dogs with a lot of energy! I've been entrusted to take of care my sister's dog on my own for extended periods of time since then, spanning anywhere from a week to over two months. I am available mostly from 10 am - 4 pm on weekdays, barring any special circumstances. On weekends I am less flexible in the afternoons. I have a fenced in yard that is decently spacious with lots of slopes for dogs to run across. It's perfect for a game of fetch or just a case of the zoomies! While I do spend most of the day on my own, I can give enough attention to any dog that needs it because of my flexible schedule.

Alexander is a great catsitter! I went on a 3 day weekend trip and asked him to drop in on my two cats for me once a day. He was readily available for a meet and greet and was overall very reliable, communicative, friendly, and great with my cats! I would definitely contact Alexander again for pet care.

Mary went above and beyond for caring for my three cats. I had booked four visits for my cats. Unfortunately, there was a serious issue in my apartment building during that time. Residents and their pets needed to be evacuated. Mary ended up having to bring my cats to a boarding facility. She put them all in their crates, walked up and down eight flights of stairs in my building, put them in her car, drove them, and then admitted them to the chosen boarding facility. Through it all, Mary maintained constant communication and care regarding the well being of my cats. I would highly recommend Mary as a petsitter for your pets!! I don't know what I would have done without her help. Thank you, again, Mary!! 💗💗💗

About: I’ve had cats my whole life, and started taking care of my own very young. I have a kitty who is 5 years old now and he is my baby.! I’ve been in horse care for about 7 years, as well as watching and caring for other barn animals. Have had dogs in the family and dog/cat sat for friends my whole life as well! Currently have full availability, am open for walks anytime for what fits your routine, and sitting when they need some extra care. I can work with you and your schedule for weekdays for my availability. I know how important it is to see that your pet family has attention when you may have a busy life! I am with my cat a lot, and keep him on a good feeding routine and have outside time everyday. He is mainly indoor, so I have understanding of protecting your animals in the home as well as needing playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Every human and pet friend alike are different! I would love to know any/all of yours and your pets needs to support my best care and attention

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!

I highly recommend Courtney! She watched my two cats, Eddie and Annie, from September 4 to September 8, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and thoughtful, and it was clear that Eddie and Annie were well looked after while I was away. I really appreciated her care and would gladly ask her to cat-sit again.

Rebecca is amazing!! I was in a pinch to find someone to care for our kitty and she responded immediately to my request and even fit in a meet and greet on short notice too! She was so thorough in her care and her write-ups about our cat! I wasn't anxious at all while we were away knowing he was in really good hands with her. Thank you so much, Rebecca!

Ilana is great! She took care of our senior cat Fifi while we were away for a week and a half. It was a bit of a last minute request and Ilana was very accommodating. We felt very comfortable going out of town knowing Fifi was in Ilana’s care. She kept us updated the entire time, giving us peace of mind so that we could enjoy our time away. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be reaching out again next time we need someone to drop in on Fifi.

Nicole was reliable and communicative with her drop-ins, and sent notes and pictures about how the cats were doing. She went above and beyond cleaning up barf when both cats decided to puke the same day. My cat really took to her and enjoyed sitting in her lap for pets. I am more at ease when I travel knowing that Nicole is caring for my babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Kensington on Rover is $31.08 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 7,990 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 89% 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 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.
