“For Touk and Mango (3 and 1 year old cats). Very conscientious and ensured they were well-looked after while we were away! She gave us lots of updates which we appreciated and played with them lots. If you want someone who truly loves cats, Anh would be perfect!”
“Another fantastic experience! Hope goes above and beyond every time. Not only did she take wonderful care of Lola, but she also helped get the apartment ready for our family’s arrival and kept a key on hand in case of emergencies. It’s obvious how much she cares about the cats she looks after, and that makes all the difference. We always return from our trips knowing Lola has been well cared for.”
“Drew is super attentive and reliable. Great communication from start to finish and feels like a very safe pair of hands for our pup. Basil looked like he had a lovely time! Thank you, Drew.”
“Hi I was delighted with Larissa's care for my cat. She is naturally good at making cats feel happy with her, took time to meet and greet first, prompt arrival and gave detailed update and photos. She went to some effort to make sure Max was in a safe place and secure before leaving, I shall definitely book Larissa again and recommend her to others”
“Justina provided excellent care for my two cats over Christmas and New Year. She sent me regular updates and reassured me they were well looked after. I will definitely be working with her again and would recommend her highly to others.”
“Emma comes and looks after Buster every week and exercises / feeds him in the garden. I know that he’s in safe hands and Emma keeps me up to date with pics and updates. Thoroughly recommend!”
About: I have been around animals since I was very young. I have worked in a dog grooming parlour as an assistant as well as a pet shop making sure the animals were looked after and cared for properly while also giving them individual love and attention. I am currently working part time but the days I have off I would love to spend time with your pets so you don't have to worry about them when your at work or away. I am more flexible in the afternoons but if mornings are a need for your pet I am happy to help. I unfortunately don't have pets at this current moment in time but I look after my sister in laws guinea pigs which they are so cute and a dream to look after. I would prefer to come to the animals place of home due to a more spacious area and them being comfortable in their own space.
“Margaret was incredible with Envy, she took her on long walks, drop-ins full of cuddles. My dog warmed up to her very quickly. She provided images and updates on what they got up to throughout the visits. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her when I need. Thanks again Margaret!”
“Rachael has been absolutely fantastic with Jupiter. She looked after him for a week and she made sure he was being fed, cleaned and she was also playing with him all the time. I would recommend Rachael as she is 100% reliable. We would definitely ask her to cat sit Jupi once again! ”

“Megan was great with Kobe. He can be nervous meeting new people and she knew exactly how to be with him to make him feel at ease. She sent lots of photo updates and photos and Kobe looked like he was having a great time!”
About: I’ve been around and adored both cats and dogs from my childhood. I’ve never understood the great divide between cat and dog lovers…why can’t I be both?! I’m a remote freelance designer so have a very flexible schedule that can shift around the needs of your pet. I don’t have pets or family of my own, so your furry friend can be my priority! Without the need to go into an office during the day, I have the ability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own environment.
About: I’ve had own cats my whole adult life. For the last 6 years I have fostered cats in my home for the RSPCA, over the summer I had the pleasure of raising 5 kittens from 1 day old, that was amazing! I’m very confident with cats and seem to have a natural way with all cat personalities, I’m also very confident with any medication requirements. This is a cat only home for boarding, no dogs I’m afraid. All kitties will be kept indoors at all times but are welcome to roam the house. If needed I do have a separate quiet room for nervous kitties. I also offer cat & dog sitting and dog walks. It is great to be able to look after animals in their own homes too. I’m very experienced with home visits and am trusted by many owners and their lovely pets. I work from my home and am here for all the kitties that stay with me 24/7. They will have all the care they need at any time of the day or night. This is an indoor cat house only. They will be very safe and welcome to roam the house and come for cuddles or there is always a separate quiet room for nervous kitties.
“Charlie was wonderful! She was so warm and friendly and made Cleo feel very safe and comfortable despite her being a little nervy kitty at first. Charlie was super flexible and accommodating and sent updates and photos. We will definitely work with her again!”
About: I have taken care of my aunt's young, feverish dachshund since 2022, and I have been trusted to feed, bathe, walk, and play with him. I'm currently a student studying at the university of Kent so I have more than enough of time to watch over your dogs or cats. I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, walks, play, and plenty of attention, and ensuring their safety, happiness, and comfort at home.
“Rachel is just amazing! She looked after our two cats and I couldn't be more happy, we had updates, photos and videos with every drop in and the cats are super comfortable with Rachel including the anxious one! We will be definitely booking with Rachel again!! Thank you!!!”

Shannon is an amazing and trustworthy sitter! She took an excellent care of our cat and provided regular updates on her! Shannon is very responsive and communication was great! We left during a heatwave and we were worried about the heat affecting our cat but Shannon ensured she was hydrated and cool! It was the first time leaving our cat with a pet sitter and Shannon was very reassuring and our holiday was amazing without worrying about our little girl! I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who loves cats and has a lot of experience love and patience! l will definitely use her services again! Thank you Shannon for taking such a great care of Nova, playing and give her favourite treats! We returned home to a very happy 🐈⬛! Thank you again for your amazing care!xx
Emma has impressed me from the very first intro visit - she asked all the important questions, noted everything down. Her communication was great, and her photo skills are excellent! Most importantly, she's a great person - she loves cats, she's friendly and open, and my baby Espresso liked her too (which is great, she's very picky with humans!). We'll be asking for Emma's help again.
Natalie was fantastic with Dita and gave me plenty of updates on how she was getting on whilst I was away. I came back to a happy and relaxed cat. Natalie’s communication before and after the time she was looking after Dita was excellent ans left me feeling confident Dita would be well looked after. Highly recommend!
Alison was amazing with my two kitties and looked after them so well. She has a natural way with cats, they both warmed to her right away despite them often being quite shy to strangers! Definitely book Alison for your pet care! Thanks for being so great and helping us so last minute as well. Appreciate it hugely!
Karolina was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! She took excellent care of our tuxedo girl, November, and managed his the feeding schedule and her garden walk perfectly. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and came home to a very happy and relaxed cat. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you, Karolina!
Our cat Martha was very well looked after by Eddie (Kakuen), he genuinely loves cats and was very punctual collecting keys, sending daily updates, feeding her etc. He has taken care of Martha a couple of times and she looked very happy having play time with Eddie, we'll definitely book him again in the future :)
Naoko looked after Wilfrid again, this time during a longer trip, and she did a fantastic job. It’s so comforting to have a repeat sitter who truly knows and cares for your pet - especially during a heatwave! Super reliable, amazing updates, and Wilfrid was perfectly content when we got back.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Croydon on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of July 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 7,837 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Croydon. About 90% of Croydon 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. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
