“Lisa did a fantastic job looking after our boy Austin. When we met Lisa previously she put us at ease, a genuinely lovely person who is a total animal lover 😸 It was so lovely having the pictures and updates with each visit! Lisa also came at the requested time and stayed for the full 30mins if not more which was lovely! It was clear when we came home that Aussie had been well looked after and he was his usual happy self! I’m so glad and I can honestly say it’s the first time I’ve been away and not had to worry about him. Already planning our next trip and looking to re-book 🤩!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I honestly cannot recommend Lisa highly enough! She looked after my cats while I was away on holiday, visiting my flat every other day for the whole week, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of them. From the moment I arranged everything with Lisa, she was absolutely lovely, reliable and reassuring. Leaving your pets behind when you go away can be such a worry, especially when they’re your babies, but Lisa completely put my mind at ease. I knew they were in safe hands and being properly looked after while I was away. Lisa was fantastic at keeping me updated and making sure everything was okay. She was caring, trustworthy and clearly genuinely loves animals, rather than it just being a job to her. Knowing she was going into my home, checking on my cats and making sure they were happy, fed and comfortable gave me such peace of mind throughout my holiday. She went above and beyond what I expected, and im sure I’ll be coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as I had left it. It’s such a relief to find someone you can completely trust with both your pets and your home, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found Lisa. I would 1000% recommend Lisa to absolutely anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. She is kind, dependable, caring, trustworthy and genuinely amazing at what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to use her again, and I will definitely be contacting her the next time I go away. Thank you so much, Lisa, for taking such good care of my babies and giving me one less thing to worry about while I was away. You were absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the care you gave them. 🥰🐾❤️ 5 stars really don’t feel like enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Fantastic sitter! Nada was brilliant looking after our cats. She sent regular photos and updates and provided reassurance they were well looked after while on our holiday. Would definitely recommend.”
“Melissa was brilliant! Both cats absolutely adore her! She arrived early and made sure the cats were happy and settled before we left. We got regular updates and photos whilst we were away, clearly everyone enjoyed their time together. It was reassuring to know Melissa was there and we came home to a tidy house and very happy cats, will definitely book Melissa again - thank you!”
“Samantha has been great. Highly recommend. I put out a request for 2 visits a day over a 2 week period with only 48hrs notice. I had a message from Samantha straight away. I had regular updates and pictures of Justin and he was happy and well cared for on my return. Will definitely use Samantha again. ”
“Our indoor (high-maintenance) cat had a great time with Mireia whilst we were away. We were given detailed report cards and updates on Silas which reaffirmed that he was in safe hands. Will definitely book with you again!”
“Uliana was so fab with Phoebe. She took such good care of her and made sure she had a good run around outside and lots of attention. Uliana’s communication was great and I will definitely book her again. Thank you!!”
“Alicia has been amazing with Skye. She is reliable, responds quickly to messages, and has been so patient with my anxious dog. She really takes the time to make Skye feel comfortable and doesn’t just pop in and leave, she spends quality time playing with her and giving her lots of attention. It gives me real peace of mind knowing Skye is safe, happy and well cared for whenever I’m not there. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alicia to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pet. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: 🐱 About me 👋 Hi, I’m Zoë, I’m 34 and I work from home, so I’m around all day, every day and can give your cat plenty of attention and company 😊 I’ve had cats since I was born and have genuinely never not had a cat in my life! I love cats and am very comfortable looking after all different personalities, from confident and playful to shy and independent. I have my own 2-year-old British Shorthair, Teddy, who is very friendly with other cats 🐱 If your cat is shy or prefers their own space, that’s absolutely fine too — I can keep them completely separate and give them their own quiet space. 🏠 Cat boarding - staying with me I have a quiet, cat-friendly home with lots of cosy spaces for cats to relax. I have a garden with a high fence and live on a quiet estate away from a main road. I’m happy to keep cats indoors if that’s what they’re used to, or allow outdoor time if appropriate and agreed with you beforehand. I’ll always follow your instructions and their normal routine. During their stay, I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, clean litter trays, brushing, playtime and lots of cuddles 🥰 I have plenty of cat toys and am also comfortable administering flea and worming medication when given clear instructions. Because I work from home, your cat won’t be left alone for long periods and I can give them plenty of attention throughout the day. 😊 🚗 Cat sitting - visits to your home I also offer visits to your own home, which can be a great option for cats who are happier in their familiar surroundings. I drive, so I can travel to your home and spend proper time with your cat rather than simply popping in to feed them. I can follow their usual feeding and medication routine, clean litter trays, refresh food and water, play with them, brush them and give them as many cuddles as they’re happy with 🐱💕 I’m also happy to send you photos and updates while you’re away, so you can see how they’re getting on. I can also help with a few things around the house while you’re away, such as watering plants, bringing in post or parcels and putting bins out 🌱 ❤️ My approach Every cat is different, so I’m happy to work around their individual personality and routine. Whether they want constant attention and cuddles or would rather hide under the bed and be left alone, I’ll never force interaction and will give them the time and space they need. My main priority is making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable and settled while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your cat! 😊🐾 I work from home, so I’m around all day, every day and have plenty of time to spend with your cat 😊 I’m flexible with my schedule and can fit around your cat’s usual routine, including feeding times, playtime and any medication they need. I’m also available for weekends and longer stays. I have a quiet, cat-friendly home with lots of cosy spaces for cats to relax. I have a high-fenced garden and live on a quiet estate away from a main road. I’m happy to keep cats indoors or allow outdoor time depending on what they’re used to. I’ll always make sure they’re safe, comfortable and supervised 😊 I also have my own friendly 2-year-old British Shorthair, Teddy. He’s very sociable with other cats, but I’m happy to keep him separate if your cat is nervous or would prefer their own space. 🐱

“Maddie has been absolutely fantastic looking after my two cats over the last couple of days. As they have only been with me for three weeks since being adopted from Cats Protection, I was naturally a little anxious about leaving them so soon. Maddie went above and beyond, making sure they were well fed, spent time playing with them, keeping them company, and even taking care of cleaning out their litter tray. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their wellbeing and helped them feel comfortable and settled while I was away. I came home to two happy, relaxed cats, which gave me great peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Maddie!”

About: Hi, I’m Claudia! I work from home in the Insurance field - just a boring 9-5! While I don’t technically own a cat, my downstairs neighbour’s cat decided to sneak into my flat from a window (!), claimed the place as her own, and has been the queen of the house (and the star of my profile pic!) ever since. I occasionally cat-sit for my lovely street neighbours when they’re off on holiday. Living alone means I will take every opportunity for some extra cat cuddles!
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 20 years, mainly sighthounds, and smaller breeds, I grew up with Jack Russells, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I have looked after friends and family's dogs and cats, who regularly trust me to walk, feed, and look after their pets, whether that’s for daily care, overnight stays, or longer periods in both my home and theirs.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Cardiff
We had such a positive experience with Cadan. Our two cats can be quite shy and nervous around new people, so we were naturally a little anxious about how they would cope. From the start, he was friendly, reliable, and punctual, and he kept us updated, which gave us real peace of mind. We particularly appreciated how patient and gentle he was with our cats. He gave them treats, played with them and simply spent time keeping them company, allowing them to approach him at their own pace rather than forcing any interaction. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and we couldn't have asked for a better first experience. We're really pleased to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with their care, and we'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and dependable cat sitter. We'll definitely be booking him again!
This was my first time using the app and Claire was excellent. She came around to meet my cats beforehand and learn all about their habits. Unfortunately my cats are wary of strangers, so she didn't see Tia the whole week, which didn't surprise me! Claire provided detailed updates and I would definitely use her again.

Abi was absolutely fantastic taking care of Mia! Communication was seamless, and the regular updates and photo check-ins gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Everything was kept spotlessly clean, including Mia’s litter box and feeding area, and Mia was clearly happy and well-loved the entire time. immediately rebooked Abi for my next trip. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Christy was an absolute star with our Mr Blue Cat. Updating us while we were away, giving him loads of care and love and sending us lovely photos. Christy even brought our bins in, watered our plants and tidied up Blue's messy litter toilet stones! When we got home Blue was sooo happy and relaxed. We felt so safe having Christy look after him, we highly recommend her and her skills and we will definitely be asking her back again! Thank you so much again for all your help, Christy. Jessie, David and Mr Blue xxx
We're so happy to have found Molly to visit our cat when we go away. She is happy to pop in, change litter and even had the tricky task of administering last minute eye drops when our cat developed an eye ulcer. Nothing is too much trouble and I would recommend her every time. Thanks again Molly xx
Rhos was great looking after our 2 furbabies, keeping us updated following each visit & sending us photos / videos. Rhos was thourough learning about our cats & their routines on the pre visit & handled our shy cat really well, knowing exactly what to do to win him over in a short time - he even let Rhos giving him some fusses ☺️ Would recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cardiff is £14 per Visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £20 per Visit.
On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 705 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across the city of Cardiff. About 92% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
Many sitters on Rover are experienced in managing 'full houses', from bonded pairs to larger clowders with different personalities. Help your sitter prepare by:
- Creating individual profiles for each cat. This allows you to list specific details easily, from dietary restrictions to personal boundaries.
- Detailing their routines during your Meet & Greet. Show your sitter what tricks you use to make sure your cats eat their meal—and only their own meals.
- Identifying your cats’ hiding spots. The less time your sitter spends looking for one cat who likes to hide, the more time they can spend with the other cat who likes to snuggle.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Cardiff pet parents with similar pet households.
You can look for sitters on Rover whose profiles and reviews mention experience with shy, nervous or indoor-only cats.
When you contact a sitter, explain your cat’s usual routine, hiding places, preferred level of interaction and any door, window or escape-prevention precautions. During the Meet & Greet, discuss how the sitter will approach feeding, litter care, medication, play and check-ins without forcing interaction. You can also ask the sitter to provide specific photo or message updates through Rover.
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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
