My partner and I have just got home from a long weekend away and Margaux is so happy and relaxed! 🥰 Giulia was such a fantastic sitter, keeping us updated with photos and messages while we were away. She spent lots of quality time playing with Margaux, feeding her and making sure she was happy and well looked after. It was so lovely coming home to a happy, relaxed cat. Would 100% recommend booking Giulia! X
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krystal was fantastic - can’t recommend her enough! This was our first time leaving our cat Dakota alone, and as she’s still young, I was pretty nervous - but Krystal put us completely at ease. Professional, extremely warm, and communicative throughout, with regular updates that reassured us the whole trip. Dakota probably didn’t even notice we were gone 😅 We’ll definitely stay in touch and book again for our next trip. 5 stars, would give more if we could ♥️ Thank you so much!
Susanna is absolutely amazing! So sweet, a proper cat whisperer… Ive never seen my cat so happy with anyone but myself! She was so attentive, fussed over him everyday, sent lots of pics and videos. I came back to a very happy well looked after cat! She also kept my place so clean and tidy. Best cat sitter ive had. Thank you Susanna x
Ashleigh was so amazing looking after our cat! Lulu adored her and clearly loved her visits. Ashleigh sent regular videos and updates which gave us great peace of mind. We enjoyed our holiday knowing Lulu was eating well, happy and cared for. Thank you Ashleigh!
Marian was fantastic looking after my two Maine Coons while I was away. He took excellent care of them and sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well looked after. I came home to two very content cats! I’d happily recommend Marian to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book him again. 😊
Ana took such wonderful care of my cats. She is very reliable, and her communication was prompt and consistent. She handles situations thoughtfully, which I really appreciated. When I came home, my cats were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would happily trust Ana with them again and highly recommend her! Thank you so much Ana🐾🙏
This was our first time leaving our cat with a sitter, and we were quite anxious initially, but Vera completely put our minds at ease! She was absolutely wonderful with Badem, incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive. She sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, showing how happy and well looked after he was. Our home was left spotless, and most importantly, Badem was completely relaxed and content when we returned. We cannot thank her enough and 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you so much, Vera
Natasha was brilliant! She came round before the booking to meet my cat and so I could show her where everything was. Took such good care of my cat, arrived on time, and kept me updated with photos and video. Really put me at ease and would definitely recommend Natasha to anyone!
It’s really important for us that someone caring and trustworthy looks after our Bubbles while we’re away and we’re so happy we booked Luba - proof of that is that Bubbles couldn’t get enough cuddles. Luba is detail oriented, super caring and you can see she wants to make sure your pet is looked after even in extreme heat. Also extremely appreciative that Luba waited until we answered the phone when the front door wasn’t opening. It gave me peace of mind to know that Bubbles was cared for while we’re away. Will definitely be booking again - Thank you Luba again so much!
Elysia took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated throughout, and we came back to a very relaxed and happy cat. Elysia was also super responsive beforehand when we were arranging the meet and greet. Would be very happy to book again - thank you!
May took wonderful care of my two cats, Brixie and Abrykoska, for four days. Every single day she sent lots of video updates, which put my mind completely at ease while I was away. She was also very easy to communicate with and always replied to my messages quickly. On top of that, she spent a lot of time playing with Brixie, which I really appreciated. I would happily book May again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
Very experienced, reliable cat sitter. We booked Dean for our two kittens who can’t leave the house, and our holiday coincided with a heatwave. He made sure they were kept as cool as possible, even adapting his visit schedule to work around these demands. He provided regular updates throughout the week which was very reassuring.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Barnet on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of August 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 .
There are 7,960 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Barnet. About 90% of Barnet sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 trays. 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 socialisation 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
