“Rocio was amazing with our 2 cats, Sammy and Lola. She was kind and attentive and understood their individual needs. Both cats require medication and Rocio administered this diligently without causing any distress. Rocio sent pictures and daily updates which was helpful and reassuring. I would certainly book her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since childhood, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. From energetic puppies and loyal adult dogs to curious cats and small pets, I truly enjoy building a connection with every animal I meet. I’m an active person who loves going for walks, so regular outdoor time, exercise, and fresh-air adventures are always part of my routine with pets. Whether it’s playtime, gentle senior care, reinforcing training, or just keeping your pet’s routine consistent, I provide loving, reliable care and treat every animal like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m currently a student and also work a part-time job, but I keep a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I make time every day to get outside for walks and enjoy including pets in that active time. I’m responsible, organized, and always punctual, so you can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, whether that includes feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddle breaks. I’m always happy to discuss scheduling details to make sure it works well for you and your pet. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine and guide you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I pay attention to the little details—feeding times, favorite toys, treats, and any special habits—because I know how much routine matters to pets. I treat your home with the same respect as your pet, keeping everything clean and tidy by washing bowls, cleaning up after playtime, and keeping litter or potty areas fresh. I also love staying in touch, so I’ll send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make things easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. 🐾
“Tahiana took wonderful care of our 15 year old cat Nick while we were away for the bank holiday weekend. She ensured he was well scritched, fed, and loved. We were also provided with updates and pictures. We would definitely book Tahiana again :)”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and my parents have a collective 6 dogs that I have lots of experience tending to. I have experience working at a dog boarding business that typically has around 8-10 dogs at any given time. I helped with the dogs and the boarding business when I was living back in California and I still do whenever I go home. Because of this I have dealt with many types of dogs. I have taken care of puppies and administered medication for aging or sick dogs. The dog boarding business I have experience with has a gated property in the woods and do not kennel their dogs so I am used to having dogs around and in the house constantly and dealing with the needs of many dogs at the same time. I have done a lot of housesitting. This includes two families whose whose farms I used to housesit for for up to three weeks at a time. They both had cats, a large dog, chickens, a garden, and an orchard. One also had horses and the other had goats. Because of this I am very comfortable taking care of large properties and dealing with farm animals. I am also comfortable managing dogs around farm animals. I have also cat sat for 2 weeks for a family with two cats (one of whom was elderly and needed medication and lots of attention). I am a full time PhD student with the ability to work remotely so I can work from your home and watch your animal during the day I am a PhD student with the ability to work remotely and I have a fairly flexible schedule so I can come take care of your pet all day while I work. I am able to provide them with as much care as they need during the day while I work. I am organised and very good at following the instructions you set out for the care of your pet. I am not able to watch pets in my own home due to a no pets contract but I can come and upkeep your home for you while watching your pet I am an experienced house sitter and can make sure your house is given just as much care as your animal. I have experience watching large properties and a large number of animals and following strict instructions for the upkeep of both.
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was kind, attentive and affectionate, and made sure all of our cat's needs and wants were taken care of. Her daily updates and photos gave us complete peace of mind, and our cat seemed happy, relaxed, and very comfortable with her. Elizabeth was professional, punctual, and completely reliable throughout. Everything went smoothly. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Libby has been fantastic with our puppy Skye. Not only does she show up on time and take care of Skye's needs. She has been incredibly helpful as we set our puppy's schedule and deal with all the shenanigans of a new dog.”
About: I have a Frenchie and really enjoy training, walking and playing with her! She has two homes and when she is not with me, I am here on Rover! I would love to come by to get acquainted with you and your fur babies (and vice versa). This way, when I do turn up, they'll be comfy with me! Please let me know your pet's likes and dislikes! This is definitely up to you and your fur baby's routine! Please let me know everything I need to know about his or her needs! I enjoy the outdoors and sharing this with your fur babies will make it even more enjoyable! I cannot wait to meet your fur babies!
“Jasmine is such a good sitter! My German Shepherd loved walking with her and being cared for by her. Normally he doesn’t eat when we are away but she made him feel so comfortable that he had no issues.”
“Ellen was very professional, trustworthy, and an excellent sitter for our cat. The cat needed special medication each night and Ellen administered it no problem. She event went above and beyond to water our balcony plants during the heat wave.”
“Maisie was great. She came to meet Dotty in the daytime and then came back while I was out to feed, let Dotty out and to check she was ok and play etc. I would definitely recommend Maisie, she was kind and gentle and engaged with Dotty.”
“Erika watched our cats for about a month and took great care of them. We got lovely pictures each time she visited and a little update so we could rest easy. This was the second time we used her and she never disappoints. We will be using her services again. Our kitties love her, and they don't love just anyone. ”
“Taja was a wonderful and very reliable cat sitter. She took great care of our two cats, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was easy and she was very considerate and gentle with our cats. I would happily recommend Taja to anyone looking for a cat sitter in Cambridge!”

Nena has looked after our cats a couple of times now, and she has been absolutely fantastic every time. She’s incredibly caring and attentive, especially during the hot days this summer, making sure Mochi stayed cool and even adding ice cubes to her water. She always kept us updated after each visit, which gave us such great peace of mind while we were away. She also made sure to give them plenty of cuddles and playtime, so it was clear they were getting lots of love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter, highly recommend Nena!
Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was kind, attentive and affectionate, and made sure all of our cat's needs and wants were taken care of. Her daily updates and photos gave us complete peace of mind, and our cat seemed happy, relaxed, and very comfortable with her. Elizabeth was professional, punctual, and completely reliable throughout. Everything went smoothly. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Josephine did a wonderful job looking after our cat Mollie while we were away for a week. She worked hard to build a relationship with our shy and sometimes grumpy cat, and was brilliant with communication and following our instructions. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!
We were concerned to leave our young cat alone for five days, but Rocio won her heart immediately, while also giving us reassurance that she was in good hands. She took extra care because of the heat wave. We got home to find everything in perfect order. Rocio is an excellent carer.
Freya was wonderful! She cared for Muffin beautifully and kept us up-to-date on how he was doing with lots of photos. She even watered my plants which were looking thirsty in the warm weather! Muffin had a lovely time with her and we will definitely book in with Freya again in the future 🥰
Paloma did a fantastic job looking after my cats during the latest heat wave. She's very attentive and quick to respond to messages. Even my shy girl took to her quickly and she often hides behind the sofa when people she doesn't know come into the house. I'd highly recommend Paloma and will be using her services again.

There are 824 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Cambridge. About 92% of Cambridge 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.
