“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.

About: I'm a caring pet sitter who can make your pets feel safe and happy while you are away! I had a female cat which I cared for 2 years so I'm happy to help with feeding, walks, fresh water, litter trays and playtime. I'll be sure to follow your instructions carefully because I understand every pet is different and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I've recently finished my Studies, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate booking on weekdays and weekends. I'm happy to discuss what time works best with the owners. I previously had a cat, which meant feeding keeping litter trays clean, providing clean water and spending time playing with her. I made sure to keep her busy while I was caring for her and be up early to check up on her as soon as possible.

About: Animals have always been one of the greatest joys in my life. I genuinely cannot imagine my world without them! If I had a bigger home, I would happily welcome even more furry companions into my life because I truly believe a home is happier with animals in it. I’ve been lucky enough to share 13 wonderful years with Rocky, our family dog, whom I’ve loved and helped care for throughout his life. Although Rocky lives at my family home rather than with me, he remains a very special part of my life. I also have eight years of experience with Socks, my beloved cat. Having both dogs and cats in my life has taught me that every animal has their own unique personality, needs and little habits. Some want endless cuddles and attention, while others prefer their independence. I love getting to know them and building a bond based on patience, affection and trust. For me, pet sitting is so much more than a job. It’s an opportunity to spend time doing something that genuinely makes me happy, while giving pet owners peace of mind that their beloved companions are being treated with kindness and care. I understand how precious our pets are because I feel exactly the same way about mine. Whether I’m taking your dog for a lovely walk, keeping your cat company or looking after your pets in their familiar home, I’ll treat them with the same love, respect and attention I would want for my own. I work Monday to Friday, from 9 AM to 5 PM, so my weekends are when I can dedicate more time to something I truly love which is caring for animals! I’m primarily available on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Friday evenings, for house sitting, dog walking and drop-in visits. I may also be available on weekday evenings by arrangement. I love spending my free time with animals, whether that’s going for a lovely walk, enjoying playtime or simply providing cuddles and companionship. I always plan my schedule carefully to ensure that every pet receives the attention, affection and care they deserve. I’m happy to discuss individual routines and needs with owners before confirming a booking. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving them in someone else’s care. When looking after your pet, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe and relaxed. I know every animal is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality, little habits and what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime or just keeping them company on the sofa. I’ll also make sure your home is respected and everything is left as I found it. I’m always happy to send photos and little updates while you’re away because I know how lovely it is to see that your pet is doing well. Most importantly, I’ll look after your pet with the same love and care I give Rocky and Socks. Animals bring so much happiness into my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them.

She administered medication to our one cat every day and informed us after she did which was very reassuring. We also got plenty of video and picture updates that put us really at ease.

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 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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. My family home has never been without one. I have 2 dogs currently a 13yrs bichon frise cross and a 2yr old golden doodle cross living at my parents. They come and stay with me when my parents need dog sitting. I have looked after friends dogs of all different breeds and sizes from dachshunds to cane corso. So no matter the age or size, we would get on just fine. I’ve had cats since I was 12yrs old. My first cat was a 14yr old rescue that required extra attention with medication etc. At my parents I Currently have a cat called Nelly and her son Minford. He was 1 of the 4 kitten she had that we kept. Having a pregnant cat that gave birth in your care is an amazing experience in itself so I’m very familiar with looking after and meeting the needs of cats and kittens of all ages. I’m currently working self employed at the moment on call waiting for jobs. I can be out of the house for 1-2hrs at a time during the day or some days not at all. I live in an apartment block but have an outdoor courtyard and grass park 2 minutes walk away. They would have access to any many toilet breaks as they need and we can take a walk to the park.

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! 💝”

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 🥰❤️”

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! ❤️

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!

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Birmingham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Birmingham is £15 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £20 per Visit.

On Rover, 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.

There are 952 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Birmingham. About 91% of Birmingham 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 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 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 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 booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

  • 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 81% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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.
