“Rocio takes SUCH wonderful care of our cat! It’s clear she has a love for animals. She is great about sending detailed reports to us daily, along with adorable photos. She gives our cat lots of affection, attention and play time. It gives us peace of mind to know our cat is so well cared for when we are away! Highly recommend Rocio!!”
About: I’ve lived with and taken care of pets like cats, dogs and hamsters since I was a kid. I currently have two happy, healthy senior cats at home and I would love to help take care of your animals. I’m currently working part time with flexibility so I can fit my schedule around yours. I’m a morning person so it’s no problem for me to come by before work. After I moved into my own home 7 years ago, I immediately got cats and they have glowing reviews for me (except they would like more food please.) In your home, I would treat your pets with loving care and your space with respect.
“Tina was great! She was very detail oriented to make sure our beautiful ? Luna was ok while we were away! Luna seems to enjoy ? her company a lot and she took her for her daily outings around the flat. Also she takes incredible photos and is very kind, Caring and educated person. Thanks ? again Tina!”
“It was great having Maisie walk the dogs this week. She arrived on time and was ready for a walk with a lively cocker spaniel! We had done a meet and greet the week before so they were both very happy to go with her. I had complete confidence that she could manage an older dog and a younger livelier one and I'll definitely be using Maisie 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. 🐾
“Lucia was fantastic looking after my dog. She was really flexible and easy to communicate with, which made everything stress-free. I’d definitely trust her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had pets throughout my childhood, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. Alongside that, I have 3 years of pet sitting experience, helping with walks, feeding, check-ins, playtime, litter changes, cuddles and keeping pets calm while their humans are away. I know how scary it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. You want to know they won’t be ignored, rushed or treated like “just another booking”. That’s not how I work. I pay attention. I follow your pet’s routine, notice their mood, respect their personality and make sure they feel safe, loved and properly cared for. Some pets need play, some need patience, some need space, and some just need a kind human nearby. You’ll get clear updates and photos, and your pet will get real care, company and attention — not a quick visit with no heart behind it. I have a flexible routine and I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet proper time and attention. I’m available for check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime and company, depending on your pet’s routine and what you need. At the moment that's my availability: •Mon to Mon •Morning - Afternoons- Evenings •Boardings full day, half day and weekends. I know it can feel scary to leave your pet with someone new, so I take trust seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors, windows and gates secure, refresh food and water, clean litter or any mess, and make sure your pet is safe before I leave. I don’t rush visits or ignore pets — I pay attention to their mood, routine and comfort. You’ll also get clear updates and photos, so you know exactly how they’re doing.
“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: Since I was a little there was always a dog or a cat in my life. I love all fury buddies and they bring me so much joy. I’m working two jobs in town of Cambridge. I’m available to do walkies after 5pm or stay and doggie sit when you need to take time for holidays. My working days vary but on my days off I’m very flexible. I have a fenced garden and my flatmate owns a female german shepherd who loves to make new friends. She is very gentle when playing and scared when few smaller dogs surprises her with attention.
About: I am a proud cat mum! I live with my one year old British Shorthair, Chestnut, and I am currently also looking after a fluffy long haired cat for a friend. Feeding, grooming, litter, playtime, cuddles, I have got it all covered. I am great at reading what each cat needs, whether they want to play or just want to be left alone with a full bowl. My hours are flexible, so I can work around your schedule easily. Your cat will be in happy, loving hands! I work flexible hours from home, so caring for pets fits naturally into my day. I can visit regularly for feeding, playtime, and cuddles, and easily adjust timings to suit your cat's usual routine! I keep a calm, clean, and cat friendly space, with fresh food and water, a tidy litter area, and safe spots to rest and play. In your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space and your cat with care and respect.
“Jennifer was amazing with my three dogs! She really paid attention to all the little details and took great care of each of them based on their needs. She made me feel completely at ease and confident that they were in great hands.”
“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!”
“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. ”
“Sarah is wonderful! This was our first time leaving our puppy at home alone during the work day, and Sarah was super patient with him, very attentive, and kept me updated every step of the way. I really appreciate her reading through our care instructions and even offering to do some training with our pup. We will definitely book Sarah anytime she is available!”

Sarah was absolutely fantastic. My schedule changed a number of times and Sarah was very accommodating. My beautiful girl, Nala was super well taken care of despite the hot weather and was very happy when I got home. Sarah sent me daily updates and was very communicative. Would highly recommend!
Charlotte was great with our cat Gabriel. She was very professional and our cat was well looked after while we were away. Charlotte kept us in the loop sending us pictures and videos of Gabriel. When we got back, we could tell Gabriel had the best of times ☺️ will definitely recommend Charlotte services and can on her again when we go away
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.
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.
We hired Lucia to look after our cat while we were away for a week. She was so thorough and attentive during her visits, and it was such a relief. She worked through the heatwave to make our cat as comfortable as possible and sent detailed reports every day. Our car very much enjoyed her company, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet companion!
Nena was fantastic and took excellent care of our two cats during the heatwave. She made sure they always had fresh food and water, and kept an eye on the house temperature to ensure they stayed comfortable. She kept us updated after each visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she spent time playing with the cats and giving them attention, so they were happy and relaxed when we came back. We would happily recommend Nena to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. :)
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
Ellen is absolutely amazing: she took fantastic care of our two guinea pigs (and sent over some great photos, too!). More importantly, her diligence and attentiveness meant that we were alerted to the fact that our cat hadn't been eating her food (and, in fact, had escaped as we were leaving for our holiday), which meant we could come back early and track our beloved pet down: I couldn't be more grateful to her, and will definitely use Ellen when we're away in the future!
This was a repeat booking with Annabel. My cat is always super chilled and unstressed when I come home, after she has been looked after by Annabel while i'm away. Annabel sends me regular updates and she can be relied on completely. This time she also applied some treatment to my cat, with no difficulties. Annabel looks after both cat and owner needs really well, I can highly recommend her cat sitting services.
We're repeat customers of Larissa's, and we will certainly be using her again. Our cat Flash loves her and has from the moment they met. Though Flash is getting on in years, Larissa always coaxes her into playing with her toys - something we can't get her to do - and also spends time cuddling with her. Larissa also goes above and beyond the call of duty: When our flight back home was delayed once, she remained on standby, waiting until she got confirmation from us that we were back. She's a conscientious, responsible, and amiable young woman. We can't recommend her highly enough.
Pauline was amazing! Super responsible, very responsive, and communication was great when I contacted her in Rover. She gave lots of updates and feedback during the visits, which really gave me peace of mind. My cats were very well taken care of, and I could tell she genuinely cared about them. Would definitely book again 😊

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.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Cambridge pet parents with similar pet households.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cambridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
