Vanda is so friendly, calm and was able to pick up on my care instructions for Luna quickly. Luna was receptive of her at first but later on got on well. I’m happy with Vanda’s services and would recommend her to others!

About: I have spent my life surrounded by animals, and I cannot imagine it any other way. Over the years I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, turtles, fish, sheep, and many others. Each one has taught me something new, and that range of experience has made me a calm, observant, and adaptable carer. I have a particular soft spot for dogs. I see them as gentle, loyal little companions who give so much love so freely, and I believe they deserve to be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Because animals cannot use words, I pay close attention to their behaviour, body language, habits, and small changes in mood. To me, this is how real trust is built. A formative experience for me was caring for a rescue Corgi who had a limb amputation. Over two years with her, I came to understand how much consistency, gentle handling, and emotional reassurance can mean to an animal who has been through difficulty. I never consider myself an expert, because every animal continues to teach me more. I currently share my home with two cats, and I have experience with small and exotic pets, including a wonderfully long-lived hamster. I am comfortable following detailed feeding routines, keeping food and litter areas clean, giving medication when needed, and sending regular photo updates so you can feel reassured while you are away. What matters most to me is simple: your pet should feel safe, loved, and understood, and your home should be treated with the same care and respect I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m available for both short-term and long-term care—feel free to get in touch anytime. I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow routines carefully, monitor behavior, and provide updates. In owners’ homes, I respect their space and pets’ familiar habits.

I am also open to take care of them on Saturdays. I have a lovely fenced patio that offers plenty of space and warm sunlight for your pets to enjoy as they roam free.

Booked again Jan 2026- Rosie went out of her way to help me out last minute. Will send lots of photos of your pets and is very accommodating on preferred times. Came home to a very content cat and I can feel relaxed going away knowing that he is being taken good care of. Would recommend!:-)

About: I’ve raised Lucifer since he was 8 weeks old and we’ve had Bala stay with us for the last year, so we know how to manage multiple dogs at the same time that have very different energies We work from home and our pets have seperation anxiety which means they are never left alone. We go on at least 4 walks a day, so if your dogs love the park or going on long walks then that would be perfect.
We will only accept pets if they are vaccinated, house trained, and good with other dogs.
We love taking photos of the dogs, so you'll be getting plenty of updates so better start making space for photos on your phone. My flatmate Peiyi is also there to take care of the dogs if I'm ever busy. I have a year old mini-goldendoodle named Lucifer who loves to play all day, so if you've got a pet that loves to play with other dogs then we would be the perfect household for dog sitting.
We also have a five year old korean jindo mix dog named Bala who loves to sleep all day, so if you've got a pet that loves to sleep and getting back rubs all day then we would be the perfect household for dog sitting.

About: Hi! I’m a young professional living with my boyfriend in a spacious ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. We are both huge animal lovers and grew up with dogs and cats, so we’re very comfortable caring for pets and understand the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I work from home one day a week and am available to look after dogs on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We love spending time outdoors and would ensure your dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout their stay. I am available for check ins/ dog walking lunchtimes in the Edgbaston area. We have a car, which means we can also take dogs out to the countryside for longer walks and adventures. Whether your dog is energetic and loves exploring or prefers a more relaxed pace, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. We’re genuine dog lovers and would treat your pet as if they were our We would love to look after dogs from Thursday through to Sunday. I work from home on Fridays, which means I can provide plenty of company throughout the day and take dogs out for lunchtime walks as well as morning and evening exercise. We’re very relaxed when it comes to pets and are happy for dogs to be on the sofa and feel at home with us. Our day usually starts around 7am on work-from-home days and around 8–9am at weekends, so we’re well suited to dogs that enjoy an early start as well as those who prefer a slower morning. We’re happy to tailor activities to your dog’s needs, whether that’s long countryside walks, shorter local walks, trips to the park, or simply relaxing at home. If your dog is sociable and enjoys being out and about, we’d be happy to take them to dog-friendly pubs or restaurants. Equally, if they’re more of a homebody, we’re more than happy to spend cosy evenings on the sofa with plenty of attention and cuddles. We live in a spacious one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, with easy access to several local parks and walking routes. We enjoy getting outdoors and regularly go on walks around the local area, and we also have a car, which means we’re able to take dogs on longer walks to larger parks or out into the countryside if they enjoy exploring further afield. We’re very flexible and like to tailor our routine to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog prefers a quick stroll around the block, a trip to the park, or a longer adventure, we’re happy to play it by ear and do what makes them happiest. We’re very laid-back pet lover and want dogs to feel completely at home with us. We’re happy for dogs to be on the sofa and, if permitted by their owners, on the bed too. The apartment has hard flooring throughout, making it practical, easy to keep clean, and comfortable for dogs.

About: I've basically grown up surrounded by paws and wagging tails - there's been a dog in my life since before I was even born! I adopted my two golden fur babies from different families, and they're now living the royal life back home in India with my family while I study overseas. I miss them every single day, so spending time with other dogs here would make me so happy. I've got around 22 years of experience with dogs and a lifetime of love (and slobbery kisses). If you ask me whether I'm a dog or cat person - honestly, I'd pet a crocodile if it dont think I am food! 🐾♥️ “I’m usually available from 2 PM to 10 PM, and sometimes till around 11:30 PM if I don’t have early classes or assignment deadlines. I’m doing my post-grad right now, so my schedule can change a bit depending on unisveristy ~ This isn’t just a job for me — I really love being around animals and taking care of them I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I follow their routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times

About: Used to have an Australian Shepherd of my own so am well versed in dog needs for active breeds, as well as calmer ones. Having worked with a dog trainer for approx a year, I’m comfortable handling reactive dogs too. I’ve been looking after friend’s and neighbour’s dogs and cats for a couple of years now, as I love pets and miss having one of my own. I’m an active person no matter the weather and love to have a 4 legged companion join me as I explore the city. Equally enjoy looking after cats, so if you need someone to pop in to feed and play with them for a bit, I’d be very happy to do so. I love taking photos, so expect lots of photo updates of your furry baby while you’re away! I work from home most of the week, so I can easily go for walks before 9am, during lunch time and after 5-6pm. I’m available for onboarding from Thursdays 6pm all through the weekend if I’m in town. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and can sleep in the bed with me if that’s more comfortable for them. I do not have a crate, so if you prefer your furry baby to use one, please make sure you’re able to provide it.

About: I’ve been working in the veterinary industry for some time. I spent a lot of time around animals of all ages, and I’ve learned that even though they can’t talk, they have their own way of telling us what they need. I’m especially patient with senior pets who just need a slow pace and a gentle hand, as well as younger ones who are still figuring the world out. My approach is really just about being present and observant—I focus on sensing their mood and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I’m not a professional trainer, but I am a great listener when it comes to what your pet is 'saying' through their behavior. I only work 4 days a week. I have no extra commitments outside of work so that gives me extra time to take care of our furry friends. I do not own a pet so no need to worry about comparability, especially for our extra anxious friends. There are parks around my building and so they can have easy access to the greens.

About: I used to work part-time as a dog walker in New York City whilst living there from 2016-2018 and it doesn't get much more stressful than that! I walked dogs all over the city with the Wag app and had a 5⭐️rating. I have experience walking all different types of dog breeds in one of the busiest cities on earth, so rest assured I will provide your dog with a safe and enjoyable walking experience. I am the go-to petsitter for my friends and family and have cared for small, medium, and large dogs, puppies and senior dogs. I am a lifelong animal-lover and grew up with a Dalmatian dog (Pebbles) and two cats (Poppy and Iris). I do not have any pets so your dog will get my undivided attention! I am currently working from home on a freelance basis so my time is flexible. I can structure my day around your pet's needs and provide plenty of walks and breaks outside. I live next to several green spaces and can easily access fantastic walking routes of all different lengths for your dog. I am an incredibly structured and reliable person, so I can cater my time around your pet.

About: I have always grown up with big dogs so I am more than capable to care for them and tend to their needs, I am comfortable in looking after dogs of various sizes and ages. I have dog sat before and I am comfortable and certain that I can take care of dogs very well and have plenty of cuddles and play time with them! I do work full time however there are days where I work from home and could make arrangements to house sit in the week! I am available for house sitting from Friday evenings all through the weekend! I am also free after 5pm so I am more than happy to dog walk in the evenings or do drop in visits! I will always follow any guidance you give me about your dogs needs/feeding times/giving medication, and will make sure that your dog is in the safest hands possible. If I am dog sitting at your home I will make sure that your pet still feels comfortable with me there!

About: I have taken care of several animals over the years, but have never been able to gain proper professional experience. However, since I have practice looking after a range of animals (horses, chickens, dogs, cats, fish), I would like to take the opportunity to further develop my knowledge. I am a university student living in the city centre, with a high availability to work during term time, on both weekdays and on weekends. Unfortunately I currently live in a student accommodation which does not allow pets, however in the summer I will be moving into my own house in which pets are allowed. For the time being I plan to keep pets entertained either in their own household or spending longer hours outside.

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 🥰❤️

Ben was great with my cat Audrey who is quite anxious with new people. She let Ben stroke her! He took time to come and meet us and took notes on everything he needed to do, including medication and loading up the cat feeder. I had updates after each visit which was great. I would definitely use Ben again.

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 Drop-In Visits - Birmingham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Birmingham on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of June 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 .

Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.

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.
