“Rocio was exceptionally gentle with our cats and attentive to every detail throughout her care. Her approach towards them was genuinely warm, patient, and deeply caring, which immediately put us at ease. She clearly took the time to understand their needs and personalities, and we felt they were in very safe and loving hands. As this was our first cat-sitting experience in Cambridge, we couldn’t have asked for a more positive and reassuring one; thanks entirely to Rocio.”
“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 :)”
“Gemma was great! Super efficient and punctual to look after my Johnny 😺 Sent me the pictures of them having fun, set the automatic feeder and gave me such peace of mind as I finished my holiday. Highly recommend her and will invite again! 5 stars ⭐”
“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.”
“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!”
“Absolutely thrilled with Lucia's dog sitting services! While we were on vacation, she treated our dogs as if they were her own, showing them immense love and care. Lucia kept us updated frequently with adorable videos and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and sweet sitter. We will definitely be booking Lucia again for our future trips! Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter.”
About: I am a vet student and have recently moved to Cambridge after growing up in the countryside in Cornwall surrounded by animals. I love looking after animals of all shapes and sizes. I'm new to Rover and I can't wait to meet the pets of Cambridge! As a full-time student my schedule is variable week to week and depending on term dates. However, I have plenty of free-time to fit in walks, check-ins and sitting, particularly on the weekends. Feel free to reach out for my availability. I am more than happy to follow any set schedules and routines for your pets as you prefer, including dinner routines, favourite walking locations and playtime.
About: Hello, my name is Alessandra (Ally) and I am an energetic and responsible dog enthusiast! I've spent a lot of my life living with dogs, looking after other people's pets, and walking and sitting dogs of all shapes and sizes. I fully understand what a big deal it is to trust a stranger with your dog. If you’d like to chat on the phone or speak to people for whom I have previously dog-sat/-walked please just ask. I usually work from home. I therefore have lots of flexibility to look after your four-legged friend and head out for walks as they need. I have an multi-floor, safe apartment - your dog is free to roam around and enjoy themselves. If sitting at your home, I'll make sure your pet has their normal routine and follows house rules :)
About: Hello! I’m Declan, a Vet currently completing further specialised training at Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital. I live 2 minutes from the hospital itself. I have been a registered vet for three years and am happy to help look after your animal, especially if they need additional needs such as medications / injections. I currently work full time but am able to come home at lunch / when needed for treatments. Weekends I am able to accommodate based on provisional bookings. Not all weekends are possible due to my job :) I have a fenced garden and no animals living with me. Any cats would be strictly indoors only. All doors and windows are kept locked during the day. Any further questions or concerns do let me know! Happy to chat
About: I grow up with pets this being my own pets or family and friends. I had the responsibility of making sure they were well looked after, took them for long walks, vets appointments, giving medication, and baths. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the day to take care of pets and they emotional needs and physical needs. I have a nice and safe house in the city centre of Cambridge which gives me the opportunity to go in nice walks around town and plenty of green spaces.
“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.”
“I needed a last minute walker and Libby was recommended to me by two of my friends. She offered to stop by and meet my dog, Sherman, the next day. All went well, Sherman loved her. She let him out on a Saturday night and then also kindly let him out Sunday afternoon last minute. She is commutative, thorough and clearly an animal person. I would fully recommend her!”
“Alicia was fantastic! We asked her to drop in twice a day over the weekend to feed and play with our 6 month old kitten. She was professional throughout, asking thoughtful questions up front to ensure she was prepared. She provided thorough updates through the website after each visit, along with plenty of photos. It very much put us at ease while we were away, knowing our cat was in good hands! We will certainly use Alicia again in the future.”
About: Having grown up with more than 6 cats (Burmese, tabby, and gingers) and 2 dogs (lab and yorkshire terrier)- as well as being a part time nanny for families with dogs for over three years- I am very experienced and equipped to care for your dog/s and cat/s needs. No matter the breed/personality/size/age I can and have cared for dogs as small snappy and sassy as chihuahuas and big, intelligent and energetic as border collies!! I also am very happy to care for more than one dog/cat as well as more attentive dogs such as senior dogs and/or puppies. My fun, compassionate, and nature loving personality will ensure great treatment and care of your pets and I cant wait to care for more amazing cats and dogs!! I am currently a university student in Cambridge studying law so I have a lot of flexibility with my timetable to fit into your pets caring needs. My availability usually tends to be every evening and weekend- although during this summer I am free mostly every day! Safety and trust is so important when caring for pets- to ensure your dogs/cats are safe I always take measures such as opening doors slowly to avoid escapes or injuries, using backup leads on walks incase of breakage, avoiding other dogs during dog walks, keeping medication and human food out of reach for pets, ensuring pets don’t overheat in the sun, and so much more! Also meeting the dogs/cats for the first time is so important for setting up the trust relationship- so i always make sure i am calm- go down to the dogs level- and allow them to come to me!!
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. 🐾

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Cambridge
Theodora stepped in at very short notice because our regular cat sitter is ill at the moment. The service was really excellent and friendly, with regular photos and a happy cat (and fish). Theodora definitely has a way with cats, since Sky took to her immediately, which is highly unusual for him. Very highly recommended!
Kashif took care of my cat when I was away on holiday. Mini is very shy, and I was happy to see how quickly she warmed up to her new cat sitter. Kashif sent regular updates with fotos. My arrival date was not clear until the last minute and he was very accommodating. I can warmly recommend Kashif and will certainly book him again if he is available.
Charlotte was exceptionally good at looking after Mochi. We had regular updates and pictures showing that our nervous cat soon warmed to her new friend. Mochi was in the best mood on our return and had clearly been well looked after. Would definitely have Charlotte cat sit again.
Sarah was fantastic, really tried to get our shy kitty to interact, even swapping round her visit order so she could be there at his meal time and tempt him to play afterwards. Even when he didn't want to emerge for more than a cursory sniff, she hid treats for him so he had something to puzzle out later on. He just about trusted her after a week and gave in to cuddles, so we would happily recommend.
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.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
