“Kerry went above and beyond during her visits to Hugo and he was extremely well cared for. Hugo had to be left for several hours as was being dropped off early by his original sitter so Kerry did three visits, including walks, to space out his time alone. Hugo was very happy during these visits and enjoyed a play and cuddle and was pleased for the company. Kerry maintained contact throughout and sent some lovely photos of Hugo having fun. All advice regarding his needs and mealtimes was followed and I felt relaxed knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely use Kerry again 😃”
About: I grew up with a gorgeous border collie whom I trained to a high level as the breed requires lots of mental stimulation and physical activity. In my previous role I would also dog sit a variety of breeds and loved every second! I currently work hybrid with my partner Sam so one of us is always at home during the week. We enjoy going on walks around the local forests and Essex countryside. I have a spacious garden in a gated community plus lots of local green areas where furry friends can enjoy long walks and nature. There are many dogs in the neighbourhood for them to socialise! There is a lift in my apartment building for older dogs who may be less mobile, it also leads directly to the garden. My apartment is one floor so the pooch would not have to climb stairs or be separated at night, meaning they would have constant company. I have comfy beds, blankets, treats and toys, and welcome their favourites into the home.
“Harry’s great! He’s taken care of my cat a few times now and is always reliable, caring, and so easy to communicate with. I really appreciate the updates he sends — such peace of mind while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“Jay was beyond amazing with our old man Loki. He was kind, gentle and patient with our little man and we couldn’t be more happy with the service he provided! Loki was sleepy and happy when we got home, which means he’s had a great walk. We were sent pictures, and updates. Jay was on time, very polite and sweet and clearly has a real passion for working with dogs! We will be booking in regularly with jay, as Loki seems to love him to bits! Thank you for looking after our boy with such care and love.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets including dogs, cats, lizards, and fish. I have always been the trusted person within my family and between my friends to look after their pets, as i’m very good with instructions and can be great fun. My energy will always depend on the incredible pet that I look after so that they do not feel overwhelmed or bored at all! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently do not have a job or other major commitments. This means I can dedicate my full attention and time to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive plenty of companionship, playtime, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, so I am able to follow their routines closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medication, or simply spending quality time with them. Because I have a very flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is always the happiness and wellbeing of the animals I look after, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives owners complete peace of mind. If a pet is staying in my home, they may also meet my 5-year-old sister. She is very gentle, calm, and loving around animals, and has grown up understanding the importance of treating pets with kindness and respect. She knows that some pets enjoy attention while others need their own space, and she is very good at recognising those boundaries. She loves spending time with friendly pets, whether that means quietly sitting with them, playing gently, or simply keeping them company. However, she always follows instructions and understands that the pet’s comfort comes first. This means visiting pets can enjoy a calm, family-friendly environment with plenty of love and attention if they choose to interact. However, Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medication, grooming, and any other requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. For cats, this may mean providing a calm environment and gentle interaction, while for dogs it could involve walks, games, and lots of affection. I keep living spaces clean and tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behaviour or wellbeing. Since I currently have a flexible schedule, I can dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care, helping them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete confidence that their beloved companion is in caring and responsible hands.
About: Your pets comfort and safety will be my top priority. I have experience with a company providing holiday care, including experience with administering medicine and special diets. I currently work part time, I am available a during the week and at weekends and nights if needed. Also, I will be able to do some holidays. Any time I am walking a dog I will always keep them on the their lead. If they are used to sleeping in the bedroom then I will do the same as they will feel more comfortable and want them to feel at home.
“Jenny was fantastic, very kind, professional, and communicative. This was my first time using Rover, and Jenny made the experience faultless. We look forward to using Jenny again :) our cat Marie loved the service too.”
“Kendall looked after Hugo beautifully today. She took him for a walk then did a drop in visit as we were out all day. She did everything I asked her to do and kept me in the loop. Kendall was caring and attentive and Hugo was very happy to see her. Was very reassuring knowing he was in such good hands 😄😄”
“Stevie was absolutely amazing! So glad that I booked her! My cat can be a bit of a difficult one but she did everything I asked and more and I appreciated everything she did for my cat whilst I was away. I trusted her in my house completely and knew my cat was in safe hands -absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! Thank you so much for helping look after Strudel!”
“Jade was great before and during the visit, kept us updated with pictures, and hoovered up the excessive litter our cats distributed across the floor and the house was in great shape when we got back. Our boys are usually quite shy with new people but they took to Jade quickly during pre-visits and seemed happy. Would definitely book again.”
“Debbie looked after my cat, Nino for around 10 days. Debbie won Nino over and played with him and fussed him every day. She provided me with updates and photos frequently. I hate leaving Nino but knowing Debbie was taking such good care of him made it a lot easier. I will definitely book Debbie again. ”
“We had such a great experience with Georgina looking after our animals, even our three month old puppy! She kept in regular contact and gave us plenty of updates, which really put my mind at ease. I’m always a little nervous leaving such a young puppy as they can definitely be a handful, but nothing seemed too much for Georgina and I felt really reassured knowing they were in good hands. We even had an unexpected issue with one of our frog tank water sprayers while we were away, and Georgina was more than happy to help sort it out for us, which we really appreciated! Reliable, caring and clearly comfortable looking after a house full of different animals. We would absolutely recommend Georgina and wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after our little zoo again! ❤️”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I previously owned a dog and currently help care for my family’s cat, including feeding, cleaning, playing and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also regularly pet sit for my sister, who has two cats and a dog, so I’m confident looking after multiple pets with different personalities and needs. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention while they’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care around my day and provide reliable visits, walks and companionship when needed. I am available during weekdays, evenings and most weekends. Whether your pet needs feeding, playtime, exercise or simply some company while you’re away, I can provide attentive care and regular updates for peace of mind. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I am particularly happy to care for pets in their own homes where they can maintain their normal routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, feeding schedules and preferences, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I am respectful of clients’ homes, prioritise safety at all times and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well looked after while you’re away.
About: I had my Jack Russell for 16 wonderful years and I want to give the same care to other pets, especially as we have just lost him through old age. I love walking but also chilling out if your pet isn't active. I've looked after different kinds dogs and cats for friends and family. I work Mon-Friday 9-5pm each week usually, however this is hybrid working so I am often at home, and I can usually fit my schedule around your pets care. Just enquire! I will take care of your pet like they are my own and make sure they are safe and happy. I will follow your requests and preferences.
About: Hi, I’m Katie, I am a highly experienced animal lover with over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience. I owned my own dog for 17 years and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats and horses — including helping to deliver puppies and caring for large groups of dogs at once. I truly believe that when owners go away, pets should still have a holiday of their own. I focus on calm, attentive care, fun walks, playtime, routine, and lots of affection — always tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. I work for myself so my hours are flexible and part time. I would only need to be out on a couple of days during the week for a maximum of 4 hours. I make sure all pets are secure especially if homes are by a road. I ensure the property is properly secured each time. I have experience as a housekeeper so am familiar with the responsibilities of a home
“Yasmina took brilliant care of our miniature yorkie puppy. She sent detailed and reassuring information to us after each visit. We cannot thank her enough for looking after our baby boy so well. We will definitely use Yasmina’s services again in the near future.?”

Shay was absolutely amazing with my shy rescue Oscar and was exactly what I was hoping for. I felt comfortable leaving Oscar in her care and didn’t need to worry at all. She was so genuinely caring and thoughtful & it was obvious how much she loves cats. Shay also went out of her way to make sure everything was tidy and clean upon our return. I received daily updates and knew that Oscar was receiving lots of love whilst I was away.I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better, and I’d 100% recommend Shay to anyone looking for a kind & reliable cat sitter!
Highly recommend Stevie, accepted my very last minute booking and came to meet us shortly after for the key handover. She went above and beyond for us even taking out the bins we’d forgot to do before leaving (🤦♀️) which she didn’t have to offer but she did. She kept me updated every visit and we’ve come back to a happy fed cat 🤍 we were a bit worried about using a stranger at first but Stevie has done so well that we would 100% use her again when we need to. Thanks so much xxx
Great to have Jo come and look after my furry friends again, as expected she did an amazing job and went over and above to make sure they were treated like the special felines they are! Would recommend Jo as a catsitter to anyone - she’s been a godsend and well definitely have her come and look after them again!
Vicky did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 cats. All of them have very different characters and needs, some are very shy to strangers and yet somehow they all loved Vicky from the first visit. They came to socialise with her every time she came to feed them. I’ve received photos during every visit which put me at ease while away. I came back to very happy and relaxed cats. I would definitely recommend Vicky as she takes care of your cats with love as they would be her own!
Naomi was wonderful. It was the first time we have left our jumpy rescue cat since we have had her. Naomi’s calmness, patience and perseverance with her meant Mia was relaxed enough to play and have some cuddles. The updates and pictures meant we could relax whilst on holiday happy that Mia was being truly looked after.
Jane is incredible and I would highly recommend! This was the first time leaving our cat with a sitter and Jane made us very feel comfortable. She bonded with our cat quickly through lots of fuss and attention with regular updates throughout. I will definitely be using Jane again in the future.

There are 7,957 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Brentwood. About 90% of Brentwood 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
