“I can 100% recommend Hazel to look after anyone's cat. Buffy was well looked after and I came home to a happy cat. Hazel kept me updated and was very flexible. I was away at a family wedding and knowing Buffy was in safe hands made my weekend so much better. Thank you! ”
“Rafa went far and beyond for our little Bernie! We are quite a ways away and she still came to our house to take care of Bernie! She sent us updates and lots of photos and videos. She's listened to our wishes and made Bernie a very happy puppy! I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who needs a pet sitter, no words can describe how thankful we are!”
“Sarah a brilliant sitter for us - her communication was great and she sent photos and updates everyday. She was also very flexible with us especially in accepting the booking fairly last minute. Would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been caring for my own small dog for almost seven years, which has taught me how important patience, consistency and attention to detail are. In addition, friends have trusted me to look after their pets while they were away, giving me experience with different personalities and routines. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, organised and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, following your instructions carefully and providing plenty of attention, affection and regular updates! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, indoor play, cuddles or simply a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll always follow your preferred schedule to help your pet feel comfortable and settled while you’re away ☺️ Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), exercise and daily routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I always adapt to their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind
“Nicole was amazing! She came round before the booking to meet out cats and they immediately warmed to her. Nicole, sent lots of pictures of our cats getting all the cuddles and affection they could ever want and they were super happy to have her looking after them! Nicole was also very informative and had great communication letting us know our cats were safe and well looked after. We would definitely book with Nicole again!”
About: I currently work at a dog day care where we house over 30 dogs per day in an outside/inside environment where the dogs play and interacted with each other. From this i’ve learnt how to monitor dogs behaviour and reactions to certain situations or environments. I’ve had animals my whole life, Dogs, Cats, Horses, Sheep etc and i have experience with multiple breeds of dogs from Chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs! I’ve learnt how to train dogs from puppy’s to an elderly aged dog who just needs some help with their age. I’ve had cats throughout my life and love their quirky personality’s, I understand how some cats want their own space and how some want some gentle company! Ultimately I love dogs and cats so much and do anything I can to help them out and treat them like they deserve, I treat all animals as if they are my own! I’m Fully available on Tuesdays to care for your pet, but on the other week days I finish my main job at 5pm so I would only be free in the evenings 5:30-10pm. I’m also free on Saturdays and Sundays to help where ever I can! I am able to safely keep your dog or cat in a safe environment at your home, Constantly keeping an eye where they are at your home and making sure there’s no way for them to hurt themselves whilst you’re not there or any areas that they have the chance to get out of, I promise to leave your home with a happy pet that has been treated how they deserve. If you would like me to take your dog to a certain area to walk i own a car harness!
“Catherine was amazing with my 8 month old puppy! She’s a bit of a nervous puppy but I can see from the photos sent that my dog Tina relaxed and looked like she was having a great time which completely put me at ease. I’d highly recommend Catherine’s services!”
“Incredibly professional and communicative. Charlotte was prompt and showed care. There was a misunderstanding but she was was quick to respond and correct it. Highly recommended.”
About: Hello! I've had 5 years of experience with dogs' aftercare, and around 13 years with cats. Since childhood I always fed and looked after street animals in my hometown. And my friends could rely on me to check in with their pets, feed, clean and look after them. Additionally, I shortly had an experience of looking after a senior dog. I am currently working full-time, I am available for boarding and house sitting or animal care/ dog walks on the weekends, evenings, and Mondays. I can offer pets lots of attention, companionship, and dedicated care. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, keep pets safe and comfortable, and make sure they feel relaxed and loved while in my care.
About: I have always been a huge animal lover and I adore looking after furry friends. I have recently moved to Bristol after living most of my life in Edinburgh. I fully work from home so I will always be around to look after your pet and keep them company. I have had experience looking after different types of dogs which range in sizes and activity level. This includes a borador and ex-racing greyhound. I also have experience looking after cats for my extended family and have a huge soft spot for them. I am happy to look after your pet at your own home and I am planning to open boarding at my own home later down the line. I can follow any routine you may have with your pet and accommodate any special needs they may require. I am also very happy to send regular updates with what they have been up to and include photos to lessen any worry you may have. I currently work from home so will always be available to look after, keep company and play with your pet. I am also able to go on longer adventures on Friday, Saturday and Sundays as I do not work on these days. I typically take dogs for a minimum of 3 walks a day (however I will be happy to adjust this either way to suit your pet). I will stick to your pets usual routine to help them feel as comfortable and normal as possible while their favorite human(s) are away.

“Marisa looked after our old cat Lucky when we were both out at work until late. Our cat loves her and she sent some lovely photos which gave us great peace of mind! Marisa is fantastic with animals, a lovely person and is a great pet sitter!”
“Pamela took care of my two cats while I was away. She was super quick to respond throughout and sent reassuring updates and photos. They were very happy and well cared for when I got home. Highly recommend!”
“Erin has been a great help keeping Deefa company while we’ve both been away from home. She’s kept us up to date with her schedule, sent us gorgeous pics on their walks, and Deefa looks very happy to be out and about with her new pal! Wouldn’t hesitate to ask for Erin’s help again.”
About: My names is Will and I've taken care of dogs in some capacity since I was 9. I grew up with spaniels in Somerset. One of these Spaniels was deaf so I gained a lot of experience in non-verbal signalling and care for deaf pups. Aside of my own animals, I have plenty of experience, in a both voluntary and paid capacity of caring for dogs. Walking is a big part of my daily routine and would love to be able to have your dog along for the walk also. I'm flexible with times of day and evenings/nights. I currently have my own pup named Rosie (spaniel cross) but she only lives with me part time. She would not be present on house sitting but she loves all dogs. TRAINING - I have experience training in a non-professional capacity so more than happy to adopt your training practices and maintain those in your absence. I can do stay in day and or overnight visits throughout the week. Monday - Sunday Additionally, I can do drop in visits. Throughout the day/evening. At the weekend, I am generally flexible outside of pre-planned holidays with friends or family. In the owners home, I will follow the instruction of the owner in regard to access to the garden and parts of the house. Eg, The dog is/isn't allowed upstairs. The same approach is taken to walking and on and off of the lead. TRAINING -I'm very happy to assist with any training you may have on the go and maintain any technique you may be working on. I love a challenge!
“Mariana was amazing with our 9month old pup who took to her straight away!! Mariana is now going to v regularly visiting our pup and we're delighted to have found her. Highly recommend”
“Becky was incredible. She is friendly, sends frequent updates, super communicative, and I could not have asked for better. Absolutely would recommend Becky for your needs and will be using her the next time I need care for my little pooch. Thank you Becky <3”
About: Hello! I'm Lana, a dedicated animal lover and advocate. From a very young age, my unwavering connection with animals has been a driving force in my life. I've dedicated several years to the field of animal care, allowing me to develop a profound understanding of their behavior, needs, and overall well-being. My commitment to animal welfare goes beyond just a profession; it's a way of life that I wholeheartedly embrace. Over the years, I've rescued, rehabilitated, and found loving homes for more than a dozen dogs and cats. In addition to my rescue work, I've been actively involved in supporting various animal welfare causes in my community. I eagerly look forward to continuing my journey and applying my extensive experience to provide the best care for your beloved furry companions. With a wealth of knowledge and a heart full of love for animals, I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness and well-being. I love animals and it also benefits me to spend time with dogs and cats. I enjoy taking care of your beloved pets and I am excited to engage with your fur babies! I have experience with fostering dogs and cats and am well versed in their wants and needs. I am keen on following the directions of the owners to guide me on what best suits their pet.
About: Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by animals from an early age. Two of the dogs I grew up with were sisters, one of whom was deaf, which taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. In 2026, I spent a month volunteering at a dog shelter in rural Croatia, caring for over 100 rescue dogs alongside a fantastic team. My responsibilities included walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, administering medication, preparing and serving meals, and ensuring their kennels were clean, warm, safe, and comfortable. It was an incredibly rewarding experience that strengthened my confidence in caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, and care requirements. Alongside this, I’ve spent years looking after the pets of family and friends. Whether they’ve been away on holiday, working late, or travelling for business, I’ve been someone they trust to care for their dogs and cats. From walks and feeding to bathing, playtime, and plenty of affection, I always make it my priority to ensure every pet feels happy, relaxed, loved, and safe while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know their routines, personalities, and individual needs. My goal is always to provide the same level of care, attention, and reassurance that I’d want for my own animals. I’m currently working in the TV industry as a freelancer, which is famous for having gaps where I am completely free in between jobs. Inbetween these jobs, and on the weekends I’d be available! I am very patient and an active woman who plays lots of sports (e.g Rugby and Football) and goes to the gym regularly so long walks are my favourite!
About: I’ve grown up fully immersed in the presence of animals and I have always taken on roles in their care. I have a dog called Nala at home and I love nothing more than spending time with her whether that be playing with her toys, going out for walks or simply cuddling on the sofa. I also have cats at home who likewise enjoy their playtime but also fusses on my knee. I’ve had work experience placement at a veterinary clinic so I’m also aware of aspects of care such as senior care and proper handling techniques. Although I am a veterinary nursing student at university I have days where I don’t have in person classes therefore making me available throughout the day and some days I’m home by 12pm, as well as having my weekends spare. I am very vigilant when it comes to pet safety especially with having grown up in a home with indoor cats, therefore I will take any safety measures you have in place very seriously. Due to my vet nursing course I have done placement at veterinary clinics therefore I’m aware of safe and proper handling techniques as well as signs to be aware of in other dogs when out on walks.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Yuting was very friendly and took great care or Gucci when we were away, he can be a bit anxious at first and she took her time and gave him space to get to know him- she was very punctual, communicative and reliable, and we came back to a very relaxed kitty. would definitely reccomend and book her again :)
Excellent communication throughout. Our cat was initially unsure (even though she was absolutely fine during our meet and greet), but Sarah approached her calmly and thoughtfully, and went out of her way to ensure she was comfortable for the next visit. It was reassuring to hear that our cat was settled by the next visit. Flexible when our plans changed and very grateful that Sarah watered our hanging baskets during hot weather. Thanks again!
Nicole and Will are fab! Lovely people who took very good care of Harrison while we were away recently. Came home to a super content and happy cat, an adorable handpainted card and even a watercolour portrait of Harrison! They also took and sent so many lush photos.
Amy did a fantastic job looking after my cats over the weekend. They have unique requirements due to medical conditions, however Amy was able to administer the appropriate medication and keep me informed with details and photos while I was away, providing me with reassurance and peace of mind. I will definitely be booking her again the next time I am out of town.
Annie did a fantastic job of looking after our cat Rupert. We got regular photos and videos, she played lovely games with him, hoovered up his excess fur and even watered our garden during the heatwave. We’re really grateful for the care and attention she gave to Rupert and our home. Thanks so much Annie 😊
Mary took wonderful care of my two young, energetic cats while I was away. She sent regular, detailed updates along with plenty of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear from the start that she has a natural way with cats, and they were happy and well looked after. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and will definitely be booking with Mary again. Highly recommended!
This was our first time having a cat sitter outside of the family. But Vanessa really reassured us, visiting before our trip and keeping us updated with photos and messages while we were away. The cats got on really well with her and she was great with them and the house. I would highly recommend her and would be happy to hire her again if we needed a cat sitter! Thanks again Vanessa!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bristol on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,113 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Bristol. About 92% of Bristol 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.
