“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!”


“Annabel was a super cat sittter. I came home to a completely chilled happy cat. And Annabel sent videos/photos throughout so i knew my cat was ok. She was super when she came for pre-sit visit too. Very friendly and pleasant”

“Great communication, came to visit my crazy cats beforehand to make sure it was a match all round. Went above and beyond to make my kitties felt safe and loved whilst we were away. Highly recommended 🙂”

“We've used Larissa many times to look after Flash, our (we think) adorable tuxedo cat. We've found Larissa to be reliable, friendly, and affectionate towards our cat - who laps up the attention! She's also flexible and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty if need be. For example, we were experiencing delays with our return flight, and she happily remained on standby until she knew we were home with Flash. She's a lovely young woman and I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“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!”

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life caring for them has always come naturally to me. For over 10 years I have provided regular walks, cuddles, and care for dogs belonging to family and friends. I also worked as a paid dog walker for a family friend, giving me hands-on experience in managing different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. These days, I regularly look after my partner’s family dog—who honestly feels like my own. I've been part of his life since day one, and we share an amazing bond. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love creating a safe, calm, and fun environment for every dog I meet. I currently work from home a lot and can be flexible in my day for walks locally as well as flexible on weekends if given notice. I am happy to come to your home to board with your lovely pups or visit in the day for walks as needed. I will be guided by you as you know your pets best.
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.

“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.”

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 :)

“Dian Dian did an incredible job taking care of my cat! I received daily updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cat was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. I highly recommend Dian Dian and will definitely book again!”


“So grateful we found Georgia - she looked after our people-shy Schnauzer for a drop-in-and-out-day and was so incredibly understanding and patient with her (and us!). From dropping in a for a first meeting and staying a while to wait for Winter to get comfortable with her, to learning the games and snack-strategies we use to get her comfortable, and even patiently and slowly persisting on the day until Winter was comfortable to play with her (unprecedented for her to play with a new person so soon!). I highly recommend Georgia for her understanding, calm and thoughtful approach, and lovely presence.”

About: Hi! I’m Krissie, and I love caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m attentive, reliable, and make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and even helping with basic training. Your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while in my care. I’m flexible, caring, and treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them a fun, safe, and loving experience! Daily Routine: I make sure pets are cared for consistently every day. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them lots of attention and affection. For cats, I provide meals, litter cleaning, and interactive play. I’m also comfortable with special care, like administering medication or hand-rearing kittens when needed. Weekly Routine: I like to maintain a predictable schedule for pets, ensuring they get regular exercise, feeding, and social interaction throughout the week. I also make sure their environment is clean and stimulating, with plenty of mental and physical engagement. I adjust my routine to each pet’s needs, so they feel happy, safe, and loved every day. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety and comfort. I provide a secure, clean, and pet-friendly space, including a fully fenced garden where dogs can play and explore safely. I supervise all activities, follow instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, medication, or special care—and give pets lots of attention and gentle guidance so they feel happy, safe, and loved in my care.
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!

I have completed 1 year of work experience at a veterinary school hospital and worked with many different breeds of dogs. I’m known to be trust worthy, reliable and full of fun. I’m available from Monday - Friday from the hours of 8am - 8pm, with the occasional latest 10pm for dog sitting if needed. I would love to spend my spare time with animals. I have a driving license of 2 years with a car, I am happy to take them to many different places for walks. I am happy to take your dog(s) to a fully enclosed dog field with obstacle courses and a splash pool if they can swim. They will be dried off before bringing them back into your home.
About: We are Kate and Ben, a professional couple in our late 20s providing dog services in central Cambridge. We have a young Golden Shepherd puppy called Moon (DOB: 9/5/26) who is great with other dogs but keep this in mind when booking. Moon is our second dog, I have always grown up with dogs, and we are comfortable with dogs of all sizes. We have also hosted a number of dogs in this house and are confident looking after anyone who might need a sleepover! We are very flexible so just drop us a message and we can see what we can do to help! At the moment we are only providing weekend dog services with the potential for week nights by request. We would not accept a booking when we are WFH so be assured if we have your pup they'll have our full attention! Our house is in the Mill Road area with lots of great grassy spaces nearby. Our garden is off the road but opens onto a passageway that leads to other gardens so we only take dogs out for wee breaks on the lead. Our first dog Fig had complex medical needs around food so we'll happily accommodate any requests you have. Our house is comfortable and very dog friendly with plenty of space to play or just curl up for a nap.

About: I have been taking care of my own animals, dogs and cats, for my entire life, and now I am at university I want to be able to continue doing so! I have two cats and we live in an apartment, so a dog isn’t suitable for our family yet, which is why I really love using Rover. I have training experience from taking care of my own dog and walking neighbours’ and friends’ dogs as a part time job throughout the completion of my education. I worked in a vet clinic on work experience for a week and I interacted with a lot of different types of dogs in a very short time period! Alongside dogs I am an avid cat enthusiast. I have had 4 cats in my time and every one has had a different personality. I have been passionate in the care of felines and I believe they are truly misunderstood by people! They have so much to offer. If you need a catsitter, please contact me as I have experience in sitting for all ages from kittens to senior cats, and I am happy to drop in if your cat needs feeding or fuss during the day. I’m a graduate waiting to start my new job so I am available on most weekdays and evenings, and every weekend. Happy to arrange this around your needs. I can keep your dog leashed if required, if I am dogsitting in your home I will ensure everything is locked and safe for the evening - no escapees on my watch!

Imogen replied to my request for a sitter straight away to let me know she was available. It was short notice so I was delighted she could come to mind my dog whilst I had to go out. Imogen let me know when she was close and arrived on time. She was really lovely and my dog liked her straight away too. She did not cry when I left which is the first time ever. Imogen did a great job of looking after my dog who was happy and very relaxed when I got back and had clearly bonded with Imogen. I’d be really happy for Imogen to look after my dog again again and would highly recommend her as a reliable, kind and caring pet sitter

Pauline was absolutely amazing with my dad's dog tyson. She done a weekend for us while my dad was in hospital and tyson had the best time! She sent photos and videos over after each visit which was lovely. Highly recommend Pauline, we will definitely be using her again! Thankyou

Railey and Tom are lovely people . My pet babies had a wonderful time and would wait by the door for them . Alphey slept quite good in the night after the walks. It’s quite difficult to leave pets and houses to strangers in charge while you are away . But they absolutely rocked ✨ would recommend them 💯.
Beatriz and her partner took amazing care of my pooch during a drop in visit while I was out all day. They followed all the instructions I left and made sure that he ate and toileted before they left him. He was a very happy boy when I got home, thank you so much. Would definitely recommend!
