“Mireia was fab- she obviously loves cats and gave lovely detailed feedback after every visit with plenty of photos. I can see our cat has been very well cared for and I would definitely rebook Mireia to look after him whenever needed in the future. Highly recommended.”
“This is the second time we have used Lisa, and she's been amazing both times. This time we were away for 10 days and were so happy that Lisa was looking after Diego and José. We had had 2 daily visits with updates and lovely pics every time. Lisa goes above and beyond, even putting our bins out! What a star! Would recommend 1000% and will be using her for all our time away from the kitties. Dan & Kate ❤️❤️❤️😸😸😸👍👍👍”
About: I have a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets of friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and ready to provide fun walks and quality drop-in visits. I will ensure your furry friend is safe, happy, and well looked after while you are away! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to visit your pets or take your dogs for long, energetic walks. I am highly punctual and can easily adapt to your preferred routine, whether you need a morning stroll or an afternoon check-in. Safety is my top priority. During drop-in visits, I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding feeding and home security. When walking dogs, I always keep them securely on a leash, avoid unsafe areas, and stay fully focused on their well-being at all times.
“Kat looked after our cat Beans for two weeks while we were away on holiday. Kat was very quick at getting in touch when we first enquired and she was very good at communicating with us whilst we were away. She came twice a day to feed and play with Beans and sent us pictures to reassure us he was doing fine during the heatwave and he was still being his usual greedy chops at meal times. Beans was happy and well fed when we came back and we will be happy to book Kat again when we next need it. We have no hesitation in recommending her.”
About: I grew up on a farm and gave always been surrounded by animals. As a child, I was always rescuing a lamb or a chicken or something! We have a four-year-old cocker spaniel doggy who is fun loving. We are a large family so any pet visitor in our home will get lots of attention! I work part time from home so can be flexible. I I am often out walking in the local area. I regularly walk my children to school and visit local parks afterwards. We are a very friendly family home and we have a fair sized fully enclosed garden. We can be flexible to meet any visiting pets needs.
About: Schwmae, Alicia here! I am a highly experienced pet sitter & dog walker with 10+ years of cat ownership and expansive pet-care experience, including looking after dogs, cats, sheep, chickens and even some Icelandic horses! I have cared for amazing pets across the UK, Ireland and Germany, which has been an incredible way to travel the world, connect with new people and enjoy spending time around the most wonderful animals! Working for a local social enterprise that promotes accessible cycling has given me strong community values, excellent local knowledge, and a reliable, active lifestyle. I travel by bike whenever possible, allowing me to provide punctual, eco-conscious care for your pets. Back in Ireland I have four darling cats, all with differing personalities and needs, so I am expert in gauging pet behaviour and giving care accordingly. Under my high-standard supervision, I assure to always: -Feed pets adhering to your specific measurements, dietary requirements and allergies -Constantly provide fresh drinking water and refill frequently -Give all medicine as prescribed -Maintain all litter boxes -Give lots of love, attention and time to your pet (in a way that suits your pet best) NB - I am absolutely more than happy to meet you (and your pet) before sitting to ensure contentment and clarity between all parties - just pop me a message! Diolch ! I’m currently returning to university to complete a part-time Master’s degree over the next two years, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your furry family member! At the moment, I’m completely available on Sundays and Mondays, as well as every evening during the week. I also start work at 11:00 am most weekdays, making morning walks and drop-in visits easy to accommodate. I’m hoping to reduce my working hours further in the near future, allowing me even more availability for study and pet care. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with access to a fantastic private terrace featuring a large grassy area on the rooftop. This provides a safe and convenient outdoor space where your dog can stretch their legs or your cat can enjoy some fresh air (if they're used to being outdoors and with your permission). Your pet will have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel right at home during their stay. Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are my absolute top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the owner's care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication (if required), exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I keep fresh water available at all times, supervise pets closely, and ensure they are never left in unsafe situations. During walks, I use secure leads and stay alert to the surroundings. If I'm caring for pets in your home, I will respect your property, always keep everything tidy, and provide regular photo and message updates - just so you can have peace of mind while you're away. ** I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care (in a way that suits them best).
“Emily is a great sitter! She dropped in on my cat Leo over the Christmas period. She was attentive with sending photos and updates and did lots of playing with Leo. Will definitely book Emily again!”
“Jake was fabulous. He went above and beyond to care for our cat, Luna over the holiday period. If you are looking for an attentive cat sitter with experience, Jake is your best option! Thank you so much again. 🥰”
“Kerri did an excellent job of looking after Jojo and Doris, providing regular updates abd pictures of their day, I could see how happy they were which made me feel reassured. Already booked Kerri for my next absence away from home, which I know my furbabies will be happy to see her again.”
“Rhiannon was fantastic. I would highly recommend. She provided daily updates and plenty of pictures, which was so reassuring while I was away. Additionally one of the cats had broken a plant pot while I was away and she dealt with that and made sure the cats were all fine. The cats seemed relaxed and happy when I came home. I’ve now found my go to cat sitter!”
About: Hi, my name is Maddie and I love cats and dogs! I come from a family of cat-people, so I've looked after five family cats in my life, and a dog. Currently I live with my partner and our 10-year-old cat Sooty. In 2019, I took-up pet-sitting alongside my studies at university and regularly looked after three chihuahuas. Now, I'm settled in a job and I'm looking to take up pet-sitting again. I've recently had a few cat-sitting jobs and really enjoyed it. I'm able to provide dog walking, drop-in visits and overnight stays for cats and dogs. I'm also happy to provide additional house-sitting duties - let me know what help you need! I'm happy to see to your pet before and after my day at work. I often finish work early, so I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings for extra time with your pet. You can be reassured that your pet is in good hands. I have over 15 years of experience looking after my own pets, family pets and providing pet-sitting services for my community. I'm also a registered volunteer dog-walker with Cardiff Dogs Home. Would you like to have daily updates about your pets well-being? I'm happy to do that and send lots of pictures. Would you rather forget about home and enjoy your time on holiday? I'll respect that, but I will always be in contact regarding any potential health issues. Let me know what works best for you!
About: I have been around animals all my life and have a fondness for many. I have had experience taking care of dogs and cats of different size and ages and feel comfortable looking after them. I would make sure your pets are very cared for! I am soon to finish my uni course which means I will have more availability to take care of your pets! I am someone who gets up early and can walk dogs around 6:30am and also finish my usual tasks by 3:30pm. I can comfortably keep your pets safe at your home and I am willing to follow your safety instructions for your pets. I will make sure your pets are comfortable and that they have everything they need.
About: I have a rescue cat which has been with me for 6 years. The mother of the cat abandoned her when she was only 2 weeks old so I had to feed her milk from the bottle, make sure she can do her toilet properly and keep her warm while she was going to sleep. Alongside that I have looked after several other animals such as tortoises, birds and dogs. I’m the happiest when I’m around animals. I just finished my 1st year in Cardiff uni so I’m mainly free to take care of your little ones as home sits or in the afternoons. Regardless of whether your pet is well trained or not I would like you to know that I won’t be letting them off the lead throughout their time with me. I will make sure to keep you updated during the time they’re with me through photos and videos. I will make sure they get good exercise and their safety/happiness would be at the forefront of my mind at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, specifically cats, between the ages of about 8-18! I’ve also helped with newborn bulldog puppy and kitten care, including overnight feedings, playtimes and toilet breaks. I’m currently studying full time at uni, but my campus is easily accessible and my schedule is very much self-made, as it’s all coursework and art based! As someone who has three bulldogs at home, one whom has many health issues, making adjustments to support their needs was especially important! Coming from a family who own a dog-walking field, and are trained in dog health and safety, I know at least the basics of caring for your pet!
“Bianca kept me updated daily on how Molly and Flo were, 2 cats with very different personalities. She looked after them well. I would definately recommend her will be asking her to look after Molly and Flo in the future.”
“Meowser was obviously very well looked after, she was content and happy when I arrived back from travel. Poppy was great, communication was good and she sent many photos. Cat litter was nice and tidy when I arrived back. Great job!”
“Lydia has looked after my three cats with care and attention to all their needs. She has also left everything clean and tidy.I appreciated all her updates and photos. I would be happy to have Lydia again if she would like to come. Thank you.”
“Martha is so lovely, Meg instantly took to her as she obviously adores dogs. Could not have asked for anyone better and we had total confidence in her. Thank you so much Martha we will definitely use you again if we come to Cardiff.”
About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. I currently have two cats and grew up with both cats and dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just giving them attention and company !! I work from home flexibly, so can work from any location and can always pop out to sit and play with pets! I have two cats of my own so I am used to the routine. I can use your routine so your pet is the most comfortable when being looked after. Please provide me with instruction on how you would like things done or leave it up to me!

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
Rhiannon was fantastic. I would highly recommend. She provided daily updates and plenty of pictures, which was so reassuring while I was away. Additionally one of the cats had broken a plant pot while I was away and she dealt with that and made sure the cats were all fine. The cats seemed relaxed and happy when I came home. I’ve now found my go to cat sitter!
Always great having Samantha check in on Oreo. It’s lovely having someone who’s on the same wavelength and gives her plenty of love and attention while I’m away. Communication is always excellent, with regular updates and photos, which gives real peace of mind. I’d 100% recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Ceri was brilliant at every step of the process - easy to communicate with ahead of time and pro-active with asking questions as needed while I was away. The only downside was that she’s a far better photographer than I am 😂 10/10 - would heartily recommend booking with her.
Becky was a fabulous sitter who managed to make friends with my very shy house cat. She popped in every day and sent regular updates. This was much appreciated as she was looking after Alice during the heat wave! She reassured me that all was well and took perfect care. I highly recommend Becky.
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 for Cat Sitting in Cardiff on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,046 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Cardiff. About 92% of Cardiff 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.
