Jiahui was fantastic with Bernie. Bernie can be anxious with new people, but Jiahui made her feel comfortable with strokes, treats and even bringing her own toys for Bernie to play with. Communication was great and she provided lots of photos and videos of Bernie. I couldn't recommend Jiahui more and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future :)

Buket was great with our cat and gave us much-needed peace of mind while we were away. We got lots of video updates and came home to a happy, well-fed Coco: very pleased with the service.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since j was around 12 years old. I’ve looked after from the size of a bichon fries to a German Shepard. So have had my fair share of different sized animals I don’t work as I’m a full time mum so u can expect me to be with ur dogs 24/7. They’re allowed to be on my bed with me. They can come in my car. They can come park and have a massive field to run around in I have a fenced flat garden that the dogs can run around in to go toilet. Or even just to play. I have a huge field near mine where dogs can run and play with balls etc

About: I’ve had years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing patience and care. I provide a calm loving environment tailored to each dogs needs. I am confident in administering medication, managing special diets and handling leash training or basic commands . Most importantly I treat every dog as part of the family ensuring they feel safe happy and well loved while you are away. As a recent retiree dog sitting fits seamlessly into my routine. Morning walks , meal times , play and plenty of cuddles are all part of the rhythm I enjoy. I am able to offer your dog calm attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I have a fenced back garden and gated front garden. Sadly my quiet girl Flash the greyhound passed away recently. I have an enhanced DBS. Plenty of space and no kennels . No children , one adult . Peaceful.

About: Having grown up with dogs my entire life, it’s no surprise that they’ve become such an important part of who I am. From around the age of 13, I took on the primary responsibility for caring for our family dogs, gaining hands-on experience with every stage of their lives. This has included helping to train two puppies, providing daily care, exercise and enrichment, and giving extra patience and support to older dogs in their later years. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours, many of whom have trusted me to walk and look after their pets on a regular basis. I’m known for being genuine, reliable and attentive, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently a university student with a part-time timetable, giving me the flexibility to provide your pets with the time, attention and care they deserve. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily life, as I frequently walk my boyfriend’s dog and regularly travel home to care for my own pets. This means I can easily fit walks, drop-in visits and quality time into my routine, ensuring your pets receive reliable, loving care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’m happy to adapt my care to suit each pet’s individual routine, personality and needs, whether that’s following training methods, using crates where appropriate, administering enrichment activities or providing the right level of exercise and mental stimulation. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll always follow your instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, secure and well cared for.

About: As well as loving, feeding, and walking my own dog for 9 years, I have looked after many other people's pets. Additionally, I have dog sat from a range of a few hours, to a few days, so would love to meet and look after your pet. Currently, I am in a gap year and work at TKmaxx, so have mininal restrictions, so am free whenever you need, for however long you need. I am very keen on making sure your pet feels loved while your away, so will make sure they get all the attention they need. Also, I'm very cautious in tending to all of your pets needs, and making sure your pet's as comfortable as they can be.

About: I AM HAPPY TO DISCUSS PRICES😁 I have taken care of several different animals including dogs over the years. (Dogs being my favourite by far!) I am aware of the important responsibilities needed when taking care of animals. I owned a beautiful Pomeranian for 3 years who was my bestfriend before we had to unfortunately give him away. During that time, I helped train him and was his main carer in my family. I also worked with a dog walking company for a period of time where we would take up to 5 dogs per person on long walks through the country side and then take them back and allow time for socialisation and also washing them. I now recently own a beautiful husky puppy called Star and we are inseparable! I am not currently working at the moment so I have all the time in the world for your pets care and will be fully dedicated! This means many walks a day and plenty of attention! I will make sure to follow all house rules I am told by the owner, as I know how nerve wracking it can be having someone you just met in your home and I 100% respect that.

About: Hi, I’m Emily from Waggy Tails Coventry, a passionate and experienced dog lover based in Coventry. I’m Canine First Aid trained, fully insured, and DBS checked, with over four years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I originally began with small breeds, especially my family’s beloved Miniature Dachshund so I truly understand the unique needs, energy levels, and personalities of smaller pups. More recently, I’ve expanded my experience by walking and pet sitting with a local boarding and daycare business. This has given me the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs, including large breeds, rescues, seniors, and dogs with special or behavioural needs. Whether your dog is nervous, a rescue adjusting to a new environment, or just needs some gentle companionship, I bring a calm and caring presence to every visit. I pride myself on creating a trusting bond with each dog, giving them the time and space they need to feel comfortable and secure. In addition to dog walking, I also offer drop-in visits and dog sitting services, providing tailored care in your dog’s familiar environment. Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, feeding, or medication, I’ll make sure your pup is happy, relaxed, and well looked after. From high-energy pups to shy or sensitive souls, you can count on me for reliable, gentle, and attentive care—with your dog’s wellbeing always at the heart of what I do. Let your dog enjoy their time with someone who truly understands and respects them—because every tail deserves to wag! Pet care is a central part of my daily life. With a flexible part-time job, I’m able to dedicate consistent time and attention to walking and caring for dogs throughout the week. I plan my work schedule around my pet care commitments to ensure I’m always available when your dog needs me, whether that’s a morning walk or a midday visit. When looking after pets in their own home, I focus on creating a calm, familiar, and stress free environment just like you would if you were home yourself. Here’s how I ensure your pet is well cared for: 🏡 Comfort First – I respect your pet’s routine and home environment, keeping feeding times, walk schedules, and sleep spots consistent. 📝 Personalized Care – Every pet has their own quirks and comforts. Whether it’s a favorite toy, a bedtime treat, or a special walking route, I make sure your pet feels safe and happy. 🧼 Clean & Tidy – I leave your home just as I found it. I clean up after your pet, refresh water bowls, and make sure everything stays neat and orderly. 📸 Regular Updates – You'll receive photo and text updates, so you always know how your pet is doing—even while you're away. 💬 Clear Communication – I stay in touch with you about any changes in behavior, mood, or health, so you’re always in the loop. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an extended stay, I treat your pet—and your home—with care and respect.

About: Cara has owned a husky for 8 years but we sadly lost her last year. We have 3 year old golden retriever husky Winnie. Dan has also fostered dogs for the dog’s trust for 3 years. Looked after a wide range of dogs. Including staffies, greyhounds, malinois (puppy), jack russell etc. We take great care of any dogs that we look after, we walk them and manage their interactions with other dogs safely. And we’ll provide plenty of attention and fuss. We work remotely from home and will only leave the dog to go to the gym for a short period of time if appropriate. We are not fostering at the moment as I have some travel commitments. We occasionally look after family or friend's dogs but I would make sure this does not clash. My schedule is controlled by me. I work normal hours from 9am-5pm but I can be very flexible. When I have a dog I walk first thing in the morning around 7.30am and then again at lunch or mid/late afternoon. My house has been approved by Dogs Trust Kenilworth for fostering. My garden is fully fenced in and my property is secure. I make sure that pets are given access to fresh water and fed correctly. I am also very attentive and will keep a close eye on your pet. When walking dogs I have a good understanding of safety and good control on lead. I will ensure that interactions with unfriendly dogs are avoided to the best of my ability.

But please continue to do this in the future as we want you to know that we really appreciate what you are doing. Thank you so much again 🌟🌟💖 Jo and family.

About: I am a caring and responsible university student with hands-on experience taking care of dogs. I have my own dog who is 5 years old, and I have cared for her from a young age. I also helped care for her puppies after pregnancy, including feeding, cleaning, and giving them attention and comfort. In addition, I have looked after my friends’ dogs while they were away on trips. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for 🐶💛. I’m currently on vacation from university until September, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for pets. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to spend quality time feeding, playing with, and caring for pets to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m gentle, patient, and responsible with animals. I have experience taking care of my own dog and cat, including caring for puppies, and I also help look after friends’ pets when they are away. I carefully follow owners’ instructions and always try to create a calm and loving environment for pets.

About: I have gained valuable hands-on experience acting as the primary caregiver for my brother’s dog. My responsibilities include house-sitting to keep the dog comfortable in his own environment, maintaining feeding routines, and ensuring he gets plenty of exercise through regular, energetic walks. I treat the home and the pet with the utmost respect and care. As a full-time Master's student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I am typically free and highly available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On those days, and outside of my primary study blocks, I can reliably commit 1 to 2 hours per day to spend with your pets, which can include walks, playtime, feeding, and focused attention. My studies often mean I am working from home, which provides additional flexibility throughout the week to check in on or spend short periods with the pets as needed. I provide dedicated pet care exclusively in the owner's home, where the pet feels safest and most comfortable. My commitment is to ensure a secure, trustworthy, and stimulating environment. I dedicate my time to being fully present, playing with the pet, and guaranteeing they receive the necessary exercise, including walks appropriate for their needs. Crucially, my care is always based on the owner's specific instructions; I will strictly adhere to all guidelines regarding feeding, medication, routines, and any special requirements, ensuring a stress-free experience for your pet.

Kathleen went above and beyond to help. One of my house cats went walkabout the weekend before I went on holiday. She was found whilst I was away and Kathleen went to pick her up for me whilst I was gone. The other cat was also really well looked after. Maybe just upset she won’t be number one cat for a while 😂. Easiest 5 stars ever!

My experience with Sophie looking after my cat Minnie was just amazing during our week away. Minnie is very fussy who she trusts to look after her but by the end of the week they were great friends. Brilliant daily communication which totally put my mind at ease knowing she was in such safe hands. 5 stars isn’t enough thank you Sophie.

Terrific care provided by Cassie for two shy & retiring elderly cats on complicated diets and four different watering holes who also needed medication. Nearly didn't go away because it's hard to imagine somebody else doing the job you do! Feedback and photos from each visit turned out to be really welcome & reassuring in the end, though I didn't think it important at the time of booking, as I've never had this before. Cassie worked hard on getting one of them in particular to thaw (hunt the cat was order of play at the start), in the end she was rolling on her back, allowing affection, showing how happy & relaxed she was with Cassie. A big thank you from us all. I would ask her again in future when away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Coventry

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Coventry 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 1,022 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Coventry. About 92% of Coventry 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.
