About: I'm an experienced dog and cat sitter. I grew up taking care of my cats and my family's dog which taught me how to properly look after them and make sure that they feel loved! I moved to Cambridge in 2023 and since then I have pet sit (both cats and dogs) for several people, and I'd love to care for your furry friend too! . If you chose me to look after your pet, I'll provide pictures and updates, as I know how stressful being away from them can be. Whether you're going away and need someone to care for your pet for a few days, or you just need my services as a dog walker, I'd be happy to have the opportunity to be the one to care for them. Taking care of animals brings me genuine joy and I assure you that your pet will be treated with lots of love! I have recently finished my sixth form studies so I'll be completely free to take care of your pets for the time being. However, during the moth of May I'll be only available to walk dogs or provide drop-in visits. On the days 17, 18 and 19 I'll also be able to provide doggy day care (1 day). Starting June, I'll be able to dog and cat sit normally. I live on a lovely flat that I only share with my mother. It has enough space for a small or medium dog or a cat to be happy and comfortable and live peacefully without disruption. We also have access to a private garden and there are several parks nearby that are perfect for walks.
“Basil stayed with Danuta and Mem for a week and we can honestly say he was spoilt rotten, treated like one of their own and sad to come come. They looked after him so well and never gave us even a second for concern. If you’re looking for a dog sitter look no further. We’d give more stars if we could.”
“James was great, he and his partner obviously love dogs, looked after Arlo very well and sent photos and videos. Arlo seemed really happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I will definitely use James again.”
“This was Digbys first stay with Stephen and it all went really well. Initially Digby was a bit anxious and unsettled but soon settled in and Stephen kept me well informed and updated. Digby really enjoyed the company of Stephen’s Cockerpoo Sam. I felt reassured throughout that Digby was in safe hands and I’m sure I’ll be booking him again soon.”
“Lola spent an amazing weekend with Nalu and Hannah. We really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout the day. Lola and Nalu had a great time together! I hope we can meet again!”
“Alice was absolutely wonderful! She was very quick to respond to all messages, and even accepted our last minute boarding request. Our dog can be a little nervous and shy, but she warmed up to Alice very quickly. Alice also sent lots of photos and videos, which was very much appreciated.”
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!
“Kat was just who we needed for our dog Pepper. She has a clean home and a lovely dog of her own, Oscar. Oscar and Pepper got along well. Pepper was there for 5 days and seemed happy when I picked her up. Kat was very good with her communication and shared an update every now and then when I requested. I highly recommend Kat.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our home was never without one, from a bouncy Poodle to a loyal German Shepherd, a gentle Bernese Mountain Dog, and a spirited Airedale Terrier. Each one left a paw print on my heart. Over my years in Cambridge, I've built up experience in dog walking and sitting, and have a particular soft spot for both puppies and senior dogs, I love them at every stage of life. I woke up around 8am and I have a big garden where the cat/dog can be. I mostly work from home so the cat/dog can be by my side most of the day. If it is a dog, I am happy to take him/her for walks 3 times per day, as it is also good for my mental health. If they are well behaved they can even go to the office with me, if needed, as my office is pet friendly. I like to give lots of love to animals and I am very playful. As I have an ensuite room they can sleep with me and can have always water in a ball for them and fresh food in the kitchen. The house is very big so they have space for playing and relax. We also have a big and sunny fenced garden
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who may need extra patience and attention. I take the time to understand each cat's personality and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I provide plenty of playtime, affection, and regular updates with photos, so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I am able to plan my day around feeding times, playtime, and any special care requirements, ensuring pets receive consistent attention, companionship, and care without feeling rushed. I live in a safe, and cat friendly one bedroom flat (50 m²) with no other pets or children. Our home is fully prepared for cats, ensuring a secure and comfortable environment.
About: I am Iria and I love dogs. I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs and enjoy giving them plenty of exercise and big walks. I love nature and being outdoors. I live close to the botanic garden and within proximity of many parks and green areas. I currently work mostly from home so I can give frequents walks throughout the day. I live in CB2 area in a house with a large sized fenced community garden and I have several nearby parks where I enjoy walking my dog.
“Second time using Ecehan as the first time was such a success. Max seems to love staying with her and she kindly had him a little longer than planned as we couldn’t pick him up in time. Great service”
About: I am a caring and responsible animal lover with experience looking after dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I regularly care for my neighbour’s dog and have experience with dog sitting and dog walking, ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of providing attentive and reliable care. I currently have two cats and am experienced in meeting their daily needs, including feeding, play, and maintaining a comfortable routine. In addition, I previously worked as a call operator for veterinary clinics, which gave me valuable knowledge of animal health, wellbeing, and common pet care concerns. I understand the importance of recognising when an animal may need extra attention and following owners’ instructions carefully. I am dependable, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. Whether it’s a walk, a home visit, or overnight care, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I’m not currently working so I have a lot of free time and can easily fit pet care into my routines. I can pet sit from all hours. I don’t normally pet sit in my house as I have 2 cats but I can pet sit at the owners home. I can take your dog on long walks at any time.
“Kinga was fantastic and I would recommend to anyone. She kindly took our late booking and asked lots of questions, making sure our boy would be as comfortable as possible. Our dog got along great with Rai, he is definitely missing her a bit after going home! It was clear that our dog was in great hands and had a good time with Kinga.”
“Dora has looked after Nala a few times and Nala has been very happy in her company. Nala isn’t the easiest dog and Dora cares for her as if she was her own. Would highly recommend Dora!”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, horses and all sorts of pets most of my teenage and adult life. I’m comfortable administering medication and providing careful senior care, as well as hitting the park with your dog for many many ball throws. My partner has owned dogs for 8 years and is dog crazy, they seem to love him too! We both work hybrid, and are happy to care for your pet during day, evening, overnight and weekends. We can visit locally by foot and with car. We have a quiet flat overlooking midsummer common, so have a wonderful huge green space right outside our window for endless ball throwing, sniffing, and bounding around.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Cambridge is £35
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Cambridge
Suey is so kind and caring and took great care of my 2 terriers. She sent lots of photos and kept me up to date on their walking, eating and sleeping. She was so careful about walking them at cooler times during the heatwave. They were clearly very relaxed and happy in her home.
Maryelly was incredibly flexible, caring, and dedicated to making sure my dog had a great time during her stay. My girl Luna is a bulldog, and Maryelly was very attentive to make sure that during the hottest days of the summer, she was taken care of. I'd highly recommend Maryelly to anyone looking to make sure their pet has a loving carer!
Erin was a great sitter for Ollie, I booked very last-minute as his regular sitter had to be away at very short notice, but everything worked out really well. I think Ollie had a super time, especially spending time with Erin and her lovely black lab. Thanks so much.
Namita was amazing with my dog! She was sweet and patient, especially with my dog that is anxious upon meeting strangers. Namita sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, so I could see my dog was happy and relaxed. My dog also loved her large garden! I highly recommend Namita to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy dog sitter.
James was fantastic. For our first international trip, James made sure to keep me updated anout my two dogs especially when we had an unexpected vet requirement right before drop off. I appreciated all the pictures and look forward to booking with him again in the future!
This was the first time we have left Lola with anyone and we’re very nervous about doing it but Jacob really made us feel at ease. We received regular updates and photos on Lola and this helped to put our minds at rest. I would recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a dog sitter. He was brilliant - we will be using him again.
This was our first time leaving Nesta with someone else. Giselle put my husband and I at ease immediately. Our dog is not the friendliest of dogs and we were worried about how he would behave. Giselle sent us many updates and Nesta seemed to be behaving himself - apart from rolling over in poo twice! Giselle handled the situation well and it must have been very unpleasant for her. Otherwise, we were very pleased with his placement and we have already booked Giselle again for the near future.
May has been amazing all the way. What a gem! She's incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and we were super happy with her. She gave us updates with photo and video and had worked out a great routine with our doggy Reed. We had great peace of mind knowing she was taking such great care of our dog. She continued training with him and made great progress teaching him new skills with her knowledge having trained a therapy dog. She also shared tips for us to continue reinforcing his training which were really helpful! Highly recommend.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
