“Lovely cat sitters! Hong Kui and her partner took such fantastic care of our cats while we were away for the weekend! They were so communicative and gave regular updates across the weekend. Their caring approach made our kitties relaxed and happy (even our very nervous cat!). We will absolutely book them again! 😺”
About: I have the most hands-on experience with cats—I’ve raised my own rescue kitten from the time he was tiny, feeding him every few hours, cleaning, and helping him through every stage of early development. I’ve also cared for other cats, including those who were shy or adjusting to new environments, and I take pride in earning their trust through patience and calm attention. I have professionally cared for dogs , I truly love them. Back home, I volunteered with rescue groups and helped save many street dogs, making sure they were fed, safe, and supported until they could find proper homes. That experience deepened my compassion and adaptability with animals, especially those who are nervous, elderly, or in need of extra patience. What sets me apart is my calm, observant nature and my commitment to making each pet feel safe, respected, and cared for—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their home. I’m currently job hunting, which means I have plenty of time to care for pets at home. My days are flexible, and I’m usually around for most of the day and night. I already live with my own cat, so my home is quiet, calm, and pet-friendly. I’m very used to maintaining clean litter trays, keeping a regular feeding routine, and giving cats the space—or affection—they need. Whether your pet needs a peaceful place to stay or regular visits, I can adjust to what works best for them. I used to live with my own cat back home, and that experience taught me how to create a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. Now that I’m living in a flat, I make sure every window is secure, and I maintain a quiet, tidy space where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I’m careful with household items, keep routines consistent, and always prioritise their wellbeing. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or visiting them in theirs, I treat each one with patience and respect. I follow care instructions closely—feeding, cleaning, giving medication if needed—and take time to build trust with the animal. I know that being away from their owner can be stressful, so I do everything I can to help pets feel safe, seen, and cared for.
“I reached out to Ben with 24 hours notice for a visit for my two cats as I had to go away for the night. He accommodated my needs and the cats and even called me to ensure that we could arrange a meet and greet quickly with me going away last minute! He updated me with photos during his visit and ensured that all their needs were sorted 😊 Ben was so friendly, easy to talk to and even left my place cleaner than how I left it 😅 Thank you so much Ben, will definitely be back in touch if I ever need you to look after Oscar and Orla for me! The best cat sitter I’ve had for my two furr babies! 🐾”
“Maddy was fab with Cooper! I came back to find him just as chill and settled as he was when I left. She’s clearly taken good care of him. She also took some brilliantly hilarious photos of him that are some of my new favourites!”
About: I own a small dog in China. I am good at getting along with dogs. I have more than 5 years of experience in raising dogs. As I am now working in the UK, I miss my dog very much, so I hope to relieve the missing by taking care of other dogs. I now work remotely and have a lot of time to spend with and take care of your dog. I would love to come to your house and take care of your dog while you are away. I am familiar with my dogs' dietary restrictions and health problem. I will pay attention to them when I walk the dog. Above all, I will take your advice to heart.
“Sofiyat is a very bubbly and kind person. She took care of Asali extremely well and she was very communicative and sent photos/ videos the whole time. I’s definitely send my cat back to her in future.”
“Zoe did a great job with my very shy cat! She administered meds with no trouble and looked after the house well. Good communication so I didn’t have to worry, and overall great experience 😸”
“Sthella gave regular updates and photos during the 10 nights our cat stayed with her. It is obvious she has a genuine love for cats. Sthella was incredibly responsive and gave our cat Gatto lots of care and attention. Will definitely book again!”
“I am extremely happy with the care my pets received. Everything was even better than I could have expected, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in her care. Olga was always punctual, communication was excellent, and she sent beautiful photos along with detailed and thoughtful updates, which gave me great peace of mind. Knowing that my cats were in such wonderful hands made my vacation so much more enjoyable and completely stress-free. Olga treated my apartment with respect and carried out every task with great care and attention to detail. Most importantly, my cats quickly trusted her and were happy to play and spend time with her, which says a lot. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my pets. I would definitely book your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! See you soon Olga! 💝”

“Liliia was brilliant. She came round before I left to ensure Ernie was comfortable with her. He can be very shy but after a few meetings and some Dreamies he trusted her completely. He was very happy when I returned having been very well looked after with food, water and treats. Liliia has a natural love and affinity with animals and her caring nature came through in every interaction with Ernie. Thank you Liliia, we hope to see you again soon!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I was raised with two Old English Sheepdogs, so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as the daily responsibilities that come with caring for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I work Monday to Thursday, 9-5, in Birmingham city centre, so I’m usually most available for pet sitting on Fridays and weekends. I may also be available for weekday evening visits depending on location. I’m happy to offer reliable visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and company, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the time, care, and attention they need. I live in a clean, well cared for home, and have a large park nearby, which is ideal for dog walks and outdoor time. I always aim to provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in my care, while following their usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very respectful when caring for pets in other people’s homes and would always treat your home, and your pet, with care and consideration.
“Gracie was fantastic! She came to meet the cats a few days before the stay and they loved her, as I'm sure your cats will too! She fed them and played with them exactly to our instructions and left us feeling relaxed while away from home. The cats also seemed happy and calm when we got back. Thank you Gracie for looking after our two babies and we'll be using your services again when needed!”
“BingBing is such a lovely person and did an amazing job at looking after our cat Miso and the house. We had regular updates and the house was left absolutely spotless! We recommend BingBing 100%! We would not hesitate to have BingBing look after Miso in the future. A huge thank you again!☺️😀”
“We chose Raiha as our cat sitter for our kitten Mila for a few days. Raiha done an amazing job arriving on time on each day, setting up our cat feeder and playing with Mila. We had some specific requirements which Raiha attended to without any difficulty. Highly recommended.”
“Haleema truly went out of her way to board our 2 cats and give them the best care and love Our cat Kai is very very scared of new people as we were away for a week Haleema had no issues coming to our house to meet Kai multiple times so he wouldn’t feel scared leaving him loving her more than his own family (lol) She sent videos and pictures every day and both our cats felt relaxed and there was plenty of purring and treats We would 100% recommend Haleema as a cat sitter for your furry friend xxx”

Vanda was amazing with my shy cat!!! She kept me updated while I was away and made sure Abbie was comfortable. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands, and I could actually relax while I was away from home, especially knowing how anxious Abbie can be around people. Vanda also kindly watered my plants, which I really appreciated! Thank you so much for everything! I’ll definitely be booking Vanda again in the future. Lots of love from me and Abbie! ❤️
Jusy bloody amazing, god really have him an awesome blessing gift!! He’s really REALLY sweet in texting as well as taking care of my cats, even if they were a bit skettish at first immediately fot warmed over eventually. Will be booking him again in future. (Even as my first time on this app he walked me through it and showed me everything that needs to be done and explain everything to me in the most simplest way I could ever ask for, he’s truth amazing and a gift. 1st best booker out there, helped me in my toughest times Where I had no one to watch my cats) my god bless him!!
Zakk was simply incredible. It's very obvious that he has a genuine love for cats. He went above and beyond what was expected. We had comprehensive and daily updates with photos throughout our holiday. Really proactive as well. I plan to ask Zakk when we have our next holiday and I fully recommend him 100%. Thank you Zakk, we really appreciate you!
Yifan lovingly refreshed Theo’s food and water, tidied up the litter box, and spent a lovely long time playing with him！She also sent me lots of adorable photos throughout the visit, which really made me feel at ease. Thank you so much for giving Theo such thoughtful care and keeping him company with so much love!
I can’t thank Chapa enough for all her love, care, and patience with our little girl. She is an extremely polite, kind, and friendly sitter who provided our cat with what she needed most – plenty of attention and playtime. Being a cat sitter myself, I have very high standards when it comes to pet care, and I wanted to find someone who really cares, not only in words but also through their actions. Someone who understands the issues and challenges that can come with rescue cats, and Chapa was perfect for that, as she also owns two beautiful rescue cats herself. I don’t think I will ever want to book anyone else for our Gabrielle 🥰❤️
Liliia was brilliant. She came round before I left to ensure Ernie was comfortable with her. He can be very shy but after a few meetings and some Dreamies he trusted her completely. He was very happy when I returned having been very well looked after with food, water and treats. Liliia has a natural love and affinity with animals and her caring nature came through in every interaction with Ernie. Thank you Liliia, we hope to see you again soon!
100% would recommend Maisie! I came home to a safe happy cat, everything was done exactly as I instructed and, while I was away I received plenty of reassurance and photo updates from Maisie, keeping me at peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with Maisie again ☺️
Teanna is very professional, respectful and polite. I felt completely comfortable leaving my kitten in her capable hands. The litter tray was always cleaned and Teanna sent me lots of cute photos of Nunde, which I really appreciated. It was my first time using a pet drop in service and I am picked the correct person. My Nunde got on with her very well. I will certainly book again and highly recommend anyone else to. I will only use Teanna for my holiday trips now, Nunde likes her and I do not like the idea of meeting different strangers. It is consistency for both myself and Nunde. Nunde also sends her approval on my choice and already misses Teanna.
Natalia been super kind and patient with our Mimo. Mimo needed antibiotics daily and Natalia was able to follow the vet’s instruction and fed her the med as required. She was super patient even when Mimo had a complication with her wound. I would defo recommend Natalia for anyone who’s looking for a cat sitter! Thank you for your help so far :)

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 occurred. 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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 , 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've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've 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're 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'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
