“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 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.
“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: I have grown up with 1 giant family dog and 2 cats. After the chaos of that household during the puppy training stage, i’m sure I can handle anything! My neighbours have often trusted me to check in on their pets, including bathroom breaks, walking, feeding, and just generally keeping them company. Having looked after pets of different ages and sizes, I feel confident that I can keep them happy and safe, as well as maintaining routines set out by their owners. I also have experience sitting for 2 elderly cats who needed special attention and medication, so don’t hesitate to reach out to me even if your pet needs any extra love and care! I’m currently a student at the University of Bristol, so will have a few hours of work during weekdays but still plenty of time to pop in and play with your pets. Living right in the centre of Bristol means i’m able to quickly get around and take last minute sits/ walks. I may also be available for longer pet sits in your home on weekends and half term holidays, so please don’t hesitate to ask! In your home and when out on walks, I will respect the routines/ rules you set out for your pets and make sure to keep them safe at all times.
“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!”
“Charlotte was very gentle Milo and gave great updates. Every time she popped in to visit him. I felt very comfortable, leaving him in her care and look forward to asking her again”
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.
About: From the age of 7, I’ve constantly been surrounded by dogs. From owning 2 of my own, to fostering many in between, I’ve developed a passion for looking after dog. I’ve also gained experience in walking them, playing with them, and overall caring for them. I’m currently studying art and design in college from Mondays - Wednesdays each week; leaving me plenty of free time for dog walking! Any time from Thursday - Sunday I’d be happy to walk, check up on, and take care of anyone’s dogs. My house is very spacious, allowing lots of room for any doggies to explore. My garden is also very large, safely fenced off, with lots of sniffs to be sniffed.
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Jem. She was extremely patient with our nervous scaredy cat and managed to bond with her in just a few visits - giving Jem all the time and patience she needed. We really appreciated the regular updates that helped put our mind at ease while we were away and the extra attention she kindly gave to Jem over the stressful fireworks period. We would highly recommend Rachel and will be looking to use Rachel's services again in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Gemma was a really great dog sitter. Gemma’s communication was excellent before the visit and she was clearly experienced at looking after dogs. Gemma kept my young puppy well occupied during the visit and had a very calming presence - my puppy was very happy to be with her. I would definitely recommend!”
“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”
“Kerry was helpful and attentive while looking after Mei. She listened to all my requests and Mei was comfortable with her, as I saw from many pics and videos. Thank you Kerry!”
About: I’m a veterinary student at the University of Bristol, in my third year, with a genuine passion for animals and their health and wellbeing. Through my studies, I’ve gained extensive practical experience through veterinary placements, shadowing, husbandry internships, dog walking and working in dog daycare. This has given me experience with animals of different ages, personalities and needs, while continually developing my knowledge of animal health, behaviour, handling and welfare. I’m confident adapting my care to each individual pet and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. For the next few weeks, I’m home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for pet care throughout the week. Once university starts on September 21st, my schedule will be more structured, but I’ll mainly be available on weekends and some afternoons depending on my timetable. I’m happy to work around individual routines and will keep my availability updated as my university schedule changes. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow their usual feeding, exercise, medication and enrichment routines, while giving them plenty of attention, patience and affection. I’m respectful of the owner’s home and will make sure everything is kept clean and tidy. My veterinary studies and practical animal care experience also mean I’m confident handling animals and attentive to changes in their behaviour or wellbeing.
“Liz was incredibly reliable, fantastic with communication and organising and was very kind to come over before our trip to meet our boys. Liz is a great cat sitter who I would recommend!”
“Sarah took good care of my cat Lily and was helpful and prompt in replying. While I trust that she was well looked after, I would have liked updates to be more informative as well as a photo. Even if it's repetitive, I like to know at each visit a bit about whether she's eating okay, using her litter box, had any fuss or played, etc. Especially when she hadn't pooped for 24 hours, I would've really appreciated being told that she finally had without having to ask, so that I didn't keep worrying. Thank you for looking after her.”
“I can’t believe how lucky we were to find Annie to look after our two elderly cats while we were away on holiday recently. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before but our minds were instantly put at rest after we met her. She clearly adores animals and has such a lovely, gentle way with them. She went above and beyond to help look after our cats while we were away. She was prompt with message responses, incredibly friendly and caring, and I can only hope that she will work with us again in the future! Xx”
“Bethany was absolutely amazing with our cat Pepper while we were away on holiday! There were regular updates of how he was getting, including lots of pictures and videos! He seemed very happy and content while we were away, and was even really happy and comfortable with Bethany from the first meeting which is unlike him, so that was another real positive for us! We got home and although Pepper was happy to see us, you could tell he hadn’t really missed us too much which is a credit to how well Bethany looked after him. Cannot recommend her enough!”

Fiona was great with my cat who responded well to her. Fiona gave me plenty of feedback throughout the 2 weeks I was away. She had to deal with an awkward medication situation as well and was happy to respond to my instructions. It meant I could enjoy my holiday without worrying.
Sophie really went above and beyond to take care of my rather grumpy cat! She tried many techniques to get Stella to successfully take her pills, and very nicely cleaned up various messes. She was so sensitive to Stella’s needs, and it was a great comfort to me to feel that she was so empathetic to my difficult cat. I would highly recommend Sophie, especially if you have a cat who needs any medication.
This was the first time I had used this service so I was a bit nervous but I didn't need to be Carys was lovely and the daily pictures were lovely to receive. Missy can get stressed with new people but Carys was great with her. I will definitely be booking her again. I highly recommend Carys.
I couldn’t recommend Naomi highly enough! She took such great care of my cat Charlie while I was away for two weeks and was so reliable, caring and communicative throughout. She sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear she really took the time to get to know Charlie and his little quirks. We unfortunately had some unexpected issues with the locks/access to my building while I was away, and she was incredibly understanding and went above and beyond to make sure Charlie was still looked after. Charlie was happy and settled when I got home, and I would absolutely have her look after him again. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
Marie was amazing with Mabel (our cat). She sent lots of updates and lovely photos and videos – and made sure Mabel had lots of play time. We came home to a very happy and content little cat! Marie was reliable with great communication. We will definitely be contacting Marie again if she’s available and would recommend to anyone. Thanks Marie 😻
Eloise did a fantastic job of looking after our cat Udon. Udon is usually very grumpy when we come home from a holiday but she seemed very happy and relaxed when we returned. All visits were complete, an initial visit was held prior to making the booking and the key was returned quickly.
This is who you want to look after your cat! Nori absolutely loved her visits, and we really appreciated the report cards and many pictures. Philippa takes the time to get to know your cat beforehand as well. We felt fully reassured little Nori was in the best hands with Phillipa. Would recommend to anyone.
Sarah was fantastic with my very nervous cat. She respected her boundaries and took things at her pace, and by the end my cat was relaxed enough to come out to see her. She gave detailed updates and sent lots of photos, and paid close attention to detail, helping me monitor my cat’s health issues. Thank you so much!

There are 1,258 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.
