“Minx and Lewis are amazing cat sitters! They've looked after our boys several times now and each time they've cared for our boys like they are their own cats. Minx is very rapid with communication and keeps you updated with messages, pictures and videos. 100% recommend using them to take care of your pets.”
“Nikki was amazing with my girls. She is super reliable and caring. She kept me up to date on each visit with photos and info. Followed my care guide also. Would definitely book her again. Highly recommend 🫶🏻”
“Atlanta was lovely! Really friendly and so good with my cat. She communicated well and arranged a meet and greet. My cat is normally quite timid around new people but she took time to let him familiarise himself with her. She kept in contact and sent cute photos when she checked in on him. I’ve arrive home this morning and the house is just as clean as I left it. Harley seems happy and content (which has been a worry with previous sitters). Will 100% use Atlanta again. Very pleased with the experience. Thank you again!”
“We’ve used Susan for the last week or so now and will continue to do so. Communication is quick, she’s reliable and has re-arranged stuff to work around us. She also sends photos of Hugo throughout the day. I would definitely recommend 🙂”
“It was a real pleasure to meet you, Dan. We instantly knew that we were leaving Bob in safe hands. Which allowed us to enjoy a weekend away, joining our son on his wedding day. Bob appeared to be well and settled on our return. We certainly would recommend Dan to take care of any furry friends. Thank you once again for your care and kindness put towards Bob.”
About: I have been a cat mum for over 9 years to my very timid and gorgeous black cat Ziggy. Since he was 8 weeks old he has been in my life and I have cared and loved for him unconditionally. I love giving him cuddles, treats and playing with him. I know what spooks him and how to calm him down. I have experience in grooming, administering flea and worming spot-on and all round care and attention. Growing up in our family home I was always surrounded by pets, mainly cats but we did have a dog, rabbits and hamsters too. I have cared for friends, family and neighbours pets and would love to become a regular sitter in my local area. I am currently unemployed but will be working part time soon. I am available to provide regular visits depending on your needs and can be flexible to your schedule, with just 2 days notice required. I build on the cat's trust and give lots of love and attention. I can play with them or just cuddles if they prefer. I will ensure they are given fresh food and water as required, alongside some treats. I would be offering my service at the pet owners home.
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with a lifetime of hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. I currently have two dogs of my own and a cat, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life and something I genuinely love. I offer drop in visits and dog walking and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower paced cuddle and company visit, I tailor my care to what suits them best just like with my two babies one being raised from a pup and one from a rescue, every animals needs are different and i’m here to meet them! I have experience with puppies, senior pets and nervous animals and I’m also confident administering medication, including tablets, liquid medication and injections when needed. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, especially when they need extra care and attention. Friends and family have always relied on me to care for their animals because I’m patient, reliable and genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your pets and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and well looked after. If you’re looking for someone friendly, experienced and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to meet your pets! 🐾 I have two dogs of my own, so pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m used to regular walks, feeding, playtime and giving pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a 2-year-old Lab cross who is very excitable and a 2-year-old English Bulldog X Pug with only one eye and very sedentary but lots of help needed, so I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities. I’m happy to tailor walks and visits around your pet’s routine and energy levels. I’m generally available outside my working hours and have good availability at weekends to care for your fur babies! My experience at home has taught me that every dog needs something different. My Labrador cross is energetic and loves being active, whilst my English Bulldog X Pug has only one fully developed eye and requires much more support with everyday activities. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs who need extra patience, supervision or assistance. I’m also a lifelong cat owner and have experience administering medication to pets when required. I’ll always take the time to understand your pet’s individual needs and follow their usual routine carefully, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for.
About: ave worked with animals all my life. The last 5 years has been running livery yards. But I have taken myself back to what I love and thats dogs. From a very young age I have been brought up around police and working dogs aswell as family pets. When I turned 22, I when im to business with my mum. We started a day care, holiday boarding and walking business. After 7 years my mum moved to Portugal. And I when to the horse world (always been in it). I have cared and looked after my own dogs and worked for someone else who is still in the business and she's more than welcome to give me a reference and also referrals I always keep your pets routine, so you feel you can relax your break away. Its not just your holiday is also your pets holidays. I work around your pets. All animals that in my care, are looked after to the highest of standards. I always keep to your pets routine so they dont get upset well your away.
About: We are a friendly, reliable couple with a genuine love of dogs, animals and the outdoors. With three dogs of our own, dogs are very much part of our everyday lives, and we understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of your family. Alongside our practical experience, Shirley holds a Canine Communication Diploma, awarded with Distinction by the Centre of Excellence. This complements our hands-on experience and helps us to understand canine communication, behaviour and the individual ways dogs express themselves. We also prefer focusing on giving dogs stimulating outdoor experiences rather than simply a quick walk around the block. We love the outdoors and enjoy giving dogs opportunities to walk, explore, sniff and enjoy plenty of enrichment. We are also fortunate to have access to private fields giving us fantastic opportunities for outdoor exercise and enrichment, whilst also providing indoor and outdoor spaces to cater for a better environment for any lovable pet and their individual needs. Having two of us means there is plenty of opportunity for companionship, supervision and individual attention. We understand that every dog is different — from energetic adventurers to older dogs who simply enjoy a gentle wander and plenty of affection — and we adapt our approach accordingly. Above all, we want you to be able to leave your dog with us knowing they will be treated with kindness, patience and respect. We don't just look after dogs — we want them to genuinely enjoy their time with us. 🐾 Caring for dogs fits naturally into our everyday life. As mentioned we have three dogs of our own, so walks, feeding, play, exercise and companionship are already part of our normal daily routine, along with anything else our beloved pets throw at us. We both enjoy being outdoors and can structure our days around the dogs in our care rather than trying to fit them into a busy schedule. Having two of us also means we can share responsibilities and give each dog plenty of individual attention, supervision and Whether your dog enjoys a good outdoor adventure or a quieter routine with shorter walks and plenty of company, we are happy to adapt our day to suit them. Safety and trust are extremely important to us. We understand that leaving your dog with somebody new can be worrying, so we want owners to feel completely comfortable and confident about the care their pet will receive. We have access to private fields with limitrd and no access, providing a better oppurtunity and environment for exercise, enrichment away from public spaces. We are also developing dedicated indoor and outdoor areas so dogs can have appropriate spaces for activity, rest and relaxation. We will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, leads, routines, interaction with other dogs and any individual requirements. We never assume that because something is suitable for one dog it will be suitable for another. As we have dogs ourselves, introductions and compatibility are important to us. We want every dog in our care — including our own — to feel safe and comfortable. We are happy to discuss this fully and arrange an introduction before a stay where appropriate. We will provide responsible supervision, plenty of attention and a calm, caring environment, with your dog's welfare always coming first.

Minx and Lewis were the perfect sitters for my fur baby Luna. She is a really shy timid cat with new people but by the end of the week she was starting to come out for them which is massive and was great to see her being so brave. We got regular updates and pictures which was really great and gave that peace of mind whilst we were away and just knew Luna was safe, happy and fed. Would 100% book with them again. Thanks so much again for having her 😊
Amy was very friendly when she came to see us before the holiday and got to know about Bella and her needs. I knew she would be in good hands, Amy sent photos and videos regularly, which was reassuring. I came home to a well looked after Bella. I would be happy to have Amy look after her again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Burnley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Burnley on Rover is £16 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £22 per Visit.
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 1,672 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Burnley. About 93% of Burnley 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 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 Rover Guarantee , 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
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.
