“Kind and gentle. My dogs are friendly but my Yorkie can be a little suspicious of people and get shy. She instantly attached to Ciara which was super nice to see. Ciara is respectful and seems to really love cuddling with dogs and playing with them (wasted on my lazy girls). Very happy and delighted to have met her - have booked her to come look in on the girls again this weekend.”
About: Hi there ! I'm Liz, I'm currently living in Belfast completing my PhD at Queen's University Belfast. I’m someone who has grown up around animals - we have always had pets since I was tiny! But having moved away from home I’m currently living away from my family pets (Dolly, a lakeland terrier who is my best friend in the world, and Erik, a very grumpy Russian blue cat!) I have lots of experience looking after dogs and cats of different ages, sizes and needs (you can meet some of them if you look through my photos!) I also volunteer with Rosie’s Trust, a charity which helps individuals going through cancer treatment or end of life care, look after their pets. This means I have received comprehensive training on animal behaviour, care and training, to be able to fill their days with plenty of love and affection to keep your companion happy and thriving! 💗 As a PhD student I am really flexible in terms of home working and can plan my day to suit your pet’s routine! I am able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for all your animals needs. As a PhD student, my time is really my own and I have a lot of flexibility in terms of my schedule, so am happy to work around your fur bestie’s schedule and needs accordingly! I am an active person anyway, often walking twice a day, so I have plenty of time to make your pets as happy and entertained as possible while they stay with me <3 I live in a house with no other animals in the home and no small children. My home has outdoor space and lots of access to the local greenspaces (Ormeau Park, Lagan Towpath etc) on my doorstep, which is perfect for keeping your fluffy bestie occupied!
“Five stars is not enough. Aimee was amazing. Sent photos spent time with the animals and was an absolute gem. Would highly recommend her and would most definitely book her again. She is fabulous.”

“Barney and I love Chanice she's kind,friendly and obviously enjoys doggies.Its been tough for Barney and I recently I lost my husband and beloved cat Brian was always home and it's been great having someone look after Barney so well one thing less for me too worry about”
“Caitlin did an amazing job looking after my cat! The photos she sent were excellent, and I could see Tom was having fun during her visits. It was reassuring to know he was in good hands. Communication was clear throughout the entire process. Will definitely rebook. Highly recommend!" 👍🐱📸”
About: I thrive to make your pet feel like it's part of family while it's I'm my home! The happiest of your furbaby is my priority I work part time at night so I'm around to make your pet comfortable in my home and give it all the love and attention I love right next to ormeau park, meaning I can take your dog on daily walks and fun days about the park with ease !
“Brilliant sitter, felt so at ease from the beginning. A pleasure to talk to about Winnie and she was very attentive making sure the cat got everything she needed while I was out of the country. Will book again for sure!”
About: I’m a Canadian law student at Queen’s University Belfast and a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets, small animals, and those with special behavioral needs, I adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. I pride myself on being reliable, caring, and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. As a student with a very flexible schedule, I have plenty of gaps between classes and free time on weekends, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. This flexibility allows me to reliably provide walks, visits, and care at times that work best for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs, while also giving plenty of attention and affection. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment, and I treat every home with the same respect and responsibility as I would my own.
About: My partner Sarah and I both love animals and give them as much attention as they require ☺️ We currently have an 8 year old beagle who is diabetic and blind in one eye. So we are well used to giving attention, belly rubs, sniff requests and giving different types of medication - injections, eye drops and oral. We have senior cat experience with our late cat Tabby who had arthritis and was on multiple medications. My partner and I work from home with one of us available to stay with the animals, available most evenings and weekends with enough notice. My own dog will be in the house. The back garden is completely fenced and covered, even my own little escape artist hasn’t found a way to escape just yet. House is fully free to roam for all animals.
“Alice Maria cared for our skittish girl Elsa for a week while we were away on holiday. She was so patient with Elsa and was able to check on her to make sure she was safe without disturbing her too much and gave us great updates on how well our girl was doing while we were away from her. We're looking forward to booking with Alice Maria again for our next holiday.”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbours pets while they were away visiting their family back home. I fortunately took care of a senior dog with cancer and an anxious cat who is on the senior side. I had to feed, water and administer medication and completed daily nightly check-in’s to check on their well-being. I also took care of my friend’s cat Filo during the Christmas period while she was away visiting her family back home. I made sure to play, comfort and feed Filo and made sure she had plenty of toys and pets to keep her at bay. I also have a 7 year old black cat of mine called Kicia who I took in when she was abandoned by her owner. Building that foundation of trust is what brought Kicia out of her shell. I will make sure to treat your animal with the same respect and care that they need. Nevertheless, I am reliant and will take the time to take care of your animal and give my full undivided attention to your furry friend. I work full-time however I have a very flexible schedule, so I could work around the days that suit. I also work from 09:30-17:30 so I could come before and spend the majority of my time after work.Also I could pop out during lunch for a quick check-in. I care by cleaning and regularly changing the litter trays, cleaning up the back garden of any waste and making sure all exits are tight and secure preventing any pets to escape the house when they’re not meant to.
“Paige did a wonderful job dropping in and walking Ronnie and Wally. She was in communication the whole time and took some lovely photos. I think the boys miss her! Will definitely book her again.”
“I'm so glad I trusted Caitlin with my needy babies, I came home to the house NOT destroyed and my anxious cat wasn't anywhere near as anxious as he has been previously! Great communication too, and very friendly :) Thank you again and again Caitlin! ”
About: Hi, I’m Eleonora 😀 I live in a nice and quiet area and my cozy house is a 5 min walk away from Ormeau Park so long walks and lots of play time are guaranteed. I have been around dogs our whole lives and my love for them has only grown. I like sending regular updates as I know that it can be hard being away from your best friends. A meet and greet can be arranged so that you could see the area and meet me in person before confirming the booking.Please note that I’m only available from 6pm on Fridays. I offer the boarding service at the weekends and while I’m on annual leave. This is cause my focus will be on your pets and I want to make sure to have plenty of time to play with them. This is also the main reason why I only accept one pet at a time. I am a really active person and I love having long walks in the park which is close to our lovely apartment. At the moment I don’t have any pets, therefore I can give extra care to your best friends during their boardings. I am flexible around drop off and pick up times and I will send regular updates.
“What can I say other than book Órla today! I have been caught up in the air traffic control chaos and got stranded away from home. I contacted Órla with very short notice and she has been fantastic, stepping in to extend her visits to Aslan and was extremely reassuring. Her communication is great, the photos are so fab every day and I am just so glad to have found Órla! Thank you!”

Caitlin is truly an angel! She was absolutely amazing with our two cats, Loki and Gibbs. She sent us lots of updates and photos while we were away, which really helped ease the cat-mum guilt! It was so reassuring to see that our babies were happy, comfortable and clearly enjoying themselves. Her updates made us laugh so much too, they were well and truly spoilt while we were away! From before the booking right through to the very end, Caitlin was incredibly attentive, reliable and always quick to respond. It’s easy to see why she is rated so highly and has such wonderful reviews. Bless her, she even took in a couple of parcels for us while we were away, which was so thoughtful and very much appreciated! We’ll absolutely be booking with Caitlin again if we’re fortunate enough to get away on another holiday soon. Knowing Loki and Gibbs are being so well looked after gives us such peace of mind. Thank you so much, Caitlin, for taking such wonderful care of them. Lots of love from Loki and Gibbs. We’re sure they’ll be very happy to see you again soon! x Many thanks again, Carly & Colly 🖤
Katie is great . We have never left Athena for one night before this holiday and were very nervous about how she would react . Athena took to Katie from their first meeting . Even going to the door looking for her as soon as she left . Throughout our time away, Katie provided us with regular communication , pictures and videos showing a happy cat . Highly recommend and we hope Katie can look after Athena in the future .
Chelsea was the best cat sitter for Mr Frank <3. We got regular check ins with pictures & videos which made me feel really at ease leaving him :) Chelsea followed all the instructions we left for Franklin to a T & he was so content when we came home which was lovely to see. Thank you Chelsea for looking after Frankenstein <3
Lisa has looked after my young kittens for two periods now. She's entirely reliable and very communicative, dropping me short videos of each visit. When a litter related issue arose she sorted it without a fuss. My kitties clearly love to see her coming and I would certainly book Lisa again.
Caitlin was really nice and reassuring. She looked after our cat at relatively short notice and was really flexible when I requested an extra day last minute which was really appreciated. She cleaned out our cat's litter trays regularly & all her bowls where clean when I arrived home. And she used our cat's puzzle feeders/ biscuit balls which she loves so again this was really appreciated. She sent us plenty of updates and was really easy to get hold of & quick to respond. Our cat seemed very happy and content when we got home so I think she had a lovely time with Caitlin!
Hendrix is an extremely caring person who really understands animals (in our case cat) and their little quirks. If you are in any doubt about trusting a sitter in your home, fear not - Hendrix is reliable, honest and a great communicator, but more importantly, our cat Minnie came out of her shell and made a new forever friend! Hendrix will hopefully be available next time we're away 😊
Courtney did a great job looking after my two very shy cats. Followed the instructions I gave so that their routine was as close to normal whilst I was away. She kept me updated with every visit so I felt reassured my two cats were ok. I would definitely use her again when I travel next and need a cat sitter ☺️
Jane was amazing! It was a load of my mind when they were available during the Christmas period. Jane was very nice to chat to and they followed all the instructions I left. My cat Zelda was well looked after and I’d highly recommend Jane to anyone who is looking for a great pet sitter :)
Lisa was great. She took great care of Esther- making sure she got loads of love and attention while we were gone for a few days. We really appreciated the friendly updates and pictures- seemed the two of them were having a great time. Lisa definitely went above and beyond- calling twice a day and even collecting parcels for us. We'll definitely go to her again.
Norma was fantastic looking after my cat, Gus. She was professional, friendly, and reliable — always turning up when she said she would. Gus seemed very comfortable with her, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated the regular photo updates she sent, which showed Gus happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Norma and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Belfast on Rover is £14.95 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 .
There are 164 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Belfast. About 84% of Belfast 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. 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.
