“Steve was very reliable, punctual and did a great job. There was a situation where we were watching our cat on camera without any food left and looking for food. I messaged Steve and to my surprise he was over not long after that which was very early in the morning. This meant the world to us and shows how kind hearted he is❤️”


“Trouble free visits and sent some lovely photos of our dog getting some love while we were away. Daisy was Friendly and kept in touch. Even noted that dog hadn’t eaten much between visits to make sure this was normal which was but appreciate the care. Overall we felt much at ease knowing someone like daisy was visiting! Thanks a lot Daisy!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. It was their first time with this sitter, and they absolutely loved her — and so did I. She was gentle, patient, and instantly made them feel safe and relaxed. I came home to calm, happy cats, and that tells me everything. I highly recommend Samantha and will definitely book again.”

“Beatrice did a grand job. The cats are nervous of strangers but by the second day she was able to get a photo of all of them. So I am confident in the future as they get to know each other, it will be a great success.”

About: I'm a work from home Personal Assistant who looks after their bosses animals. My love for dogs and cats started with my children's obsession with furry animals. I had a dog and cat as a child but never had the luxury of owning one, so this is the next best thing. I work from home so I am extremley flexible with times and days, both weekdays and weekends. I don't do set hours so timing isn't an issue around being outdoors. My house is animal proofed and I have a garden which is also securely fenced. Surrounding areas have plenty of greenery with endless walks and runs

About: Growing up I have cared for my own pets, neighbours pets, dont shy away from the muck work, grooming and other pet requirements. Will care to your extended family member as if they were my own. I am quite confident with different animals having cared. Love and care with deep genuine attention to the extended family member and will give you some trusted peace of mind that you have left your cared one in safe kind hands. I work full time and have alternative Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends off. Therefore I am flexible in how I can help you out. Cat/dog overnight homeowner stays, happy to house your cat for an overnight stay (wouldn't be fair to a dog to come and stay in my flat as I wouldn't be able to care for it throughout the day unless it's a one night or over night weekend stay when I am off. As I'd be able to take out on walks- have two beautiful greenspaces to chose from for long or short walks. I live in a flat with a balcony, I would be happy to house cats, smaller pets in their cage/tank throughout the week, but would have smaller availability for small dogs/medium dogs, due to full time work and I wouldn't be comfortable leaving them in a confined space without the care and attention they would require.

I am available on most weekdays and weekends for pet sitting, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I will make sure pets receive attention, care, and regular updates while in my care.

About: Howdy ! My name is Leighanne and I absolutely adore cats (i wouldn't be on here if i didn't 😹) I'm 19 but don't let my age fool you. I have experience with looking after cats (bathing, feeding, giving medication) and I am a very responsible person in general. So, if you choose me to take care of your furry friends, I would be so honoured <3

About: I have loved animals and especially cats since i was around 5-6 years old. I would spend my pocket money on cat food for the strays i had taken in. I have been a cat parent for the last 30 years. After taking my current fur baby in from the streets i have developed an even deeper understanding of cats through trials and errors. I have now learnt to be even more patient and understand how difficult it is to find a really good cat sitter you can use regularly. Due to a cats nature and especially a nervous one like mine a routine and things being done the same way their owner/fur parent would do them is of huge importance for their health and wellbeing. This is why i have decided to sign myself up in the hope i can be of service to like minded fur parents and save their fur babies from any undue stress.
About: I absolutely love all animals and am a proud mother of 4 gorgeous cats, oldest one is Leo 16 years old (domestic) Matisse (british shorthair ) Monkey (british shorthair) and Arya (british shorthair ) They keep me laughing with their own unique personality and could not imagine them not being in my life, I love playing with them seeing them chasing around. I have looked after a friends shih tzu on many occasions, feeding and walking. Highlighting most importantly lots of love and cuddles. Which would be the case for all my 4 legged friends I will look after in the near future. Feel safe in knowing I will take the upmost care and give my undivided attention to all their needs however big or small. I am currently working part time so do have most of my day free, I am available from 9am until 8pm. And not south of London, apologies for this as I do not drive. I care for my beautiful fluff balls very much as I treat them with respect and give them endless love and cuddles, even when they are naughty.
About: I’ve been professionally dog walking since 2018 and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities, including larger and stronger breeds. In 2020, I moved across the country and put dog walking aside while I built my own business Jingo Pets. Now that it’s established, I finally have the time to get back to dog walking, something I’ve really missed. I specialise in solo, on lead walks because I believe this is the safest and most personal way to care for your dog. One to one walks mean your dog gets my undivided attention, and I can tailor the walk entirely around them, whether they love exploring and sniffing, need a good energetic walk, or prefer a gentler pace. I treat every dog in my care as I would my own, with a huge amount of care, attention and protection. Safety is always my priority, while still making sure their walk is something they genuinely enjoy. You’ll also receive a photo and update afterwards, so you know how they got on. While your dog is with me, I look after them like they’re one of my own. I run my own local pet food business, which gives me the flexibility to fit dog walking naturally into my day. I deliberately keep my walking availability limited so I’m not rushing between lots of dogs. This allows me to offer a reliable, personal service and give every dog my full attention during their time with me. Your dog’s safety is my number one priority. I only offer solo walks, or walks for dogs from the same household, so they have my full attention throughout. Dogs remain safely on-lead and I’ll always follow your instructions around things like reactivity, triggers and routines. I’m also very security-conscious when entering and leaving your home. While your dog is in my care, I treat their safety exactly as I would my own dogs’.
About: Hi, I am very passionate, lifelong animal lover since childhood. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful, so my top priority is keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar routines. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member weekdays and weekends. I can offer services of dog walking, drop-in visit, boarding. Your furry family member can access to the fenced garden and inside the house which is kept clean and tidy all the time, also I have a puppy who's energy level is high and very playful with dogs.
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. Although I am new to pet sitting, I am responsible, patient, and eager to provide excellent care. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any instructions you provide. I understand how important it is to keep owners updated, so I will send regular photos and messages to give you peace of mind. I will treat your pet with kindness, care, and respect. I am available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and early mornings (6:00–8:00 AM) if needed. I will always make time to give your pet the attention, care, and exercise they need. I am reliable and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I provide pet care in the owner's home and during walks. I will always follow your pet's routine and your instructions carefully to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I will treat your pet with kindness and respect and keep you updated throughout my visit.

About: I'm an active, outdoorsy person who genuinely loves being around dogs. I take your dog's exercise seriously: proper walks, real time outside, and plenty of stimulation. My hands-on experience comes from regularly walking and caring for two very different dogs — a Staffordshire Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I’m currently working from home with good flexibility. I can work around the schedule for helping out. Weekends should be free in the day too. My flat is a cosy, well-kept one-bedroom on an upper floor — no balcony or outdoor space, but we’re just a 5-minute walk from a park, so dogs get outside plenty. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the flat, which is worth knowing for smaller or older dogs.
“Laura was excellent, she was great in communicating with us and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well cared for during her drop ins. She exceeded our expectations and then some. She also took initiative to learn his routines to help him with his seperation anxiety while we left him alone for thre first time at length. Would highly recommend and use again!”


About: For years I have helped many friends look after their dogs, ranging from small senior Cocker Spaniels to energetic Beagles. I have helped friends by staying over with their dogs or walking them daily, some friends have had dogs with very special needs due to their age which I have no problems dealing with and making sure they are as safe as they can be. I will ensure the dogs get the food they require to make sure their diet is properly followed. I'm currently working part-time at a public park with a farm onsite meaning that I have plenty of time to help look after your lovely dogs. I am available all times of the day and have no issues following a routine that some particular dogs may have so not to disturb them and stress them out. Whilst caring for your animals at your home I will follow any additional needs that you ask of me when it comes to your pet or your home.I will happily give out any medication that is needed/required to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I have an animal first aid qualification and many years experience of caring for animals that have been injured, when out with your pets I will make sure they are safe.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs regularly for the past 3 years, mostly looking after two senior dogs for one friend and a young puppy for another. This has given me experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from gentle senior care to playful puppy stages. From age 15 I cared for dogs within my family, supporting with walks, feeding, and keeping them settled while owners were away. In addition, I‘ve cared for my family kitten, and as an indoor cat, he required consistent feeding, litter care, playtime, and a calm presence, something I’m very comfortable providing. Working from home, enables me to give consistent attention throughout the day and always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Every dog or cat in my care is treated with patience, attentiveness, and love. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, companionship and regular walks or drop-ins throughout the day. I’m flexible during weekdays and available most weekends, making it easy to fit pet care naturally into my routine. When caring for dogs or cats in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions provided. I ensure doors and gates are always secured, keep environments tidy and safe. If crate training is part of their routine, I’m comfortable supporting that in a gentle and positive way. My focus is always on providing a safe, consistent, and loving environment while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, from small breeds to much larger dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities and energy levels. I’m also very used to being around cats and understand that every pet has their own individual needs and routine. I’m a caring, responsible and patient person who genuinely loves animals and will make sure your pet feels happy, safe and well looked after. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles and companionship while you’re away. I work remotely 3 days a week (Mon-Fri), which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I’ll always be respectful, responsible and attentive. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if required and your pet’s usual routine.
About: Since a child I’ve had all kind of pets from fishes, hamsters, birds and rabbits to raising kittens and a puppy. I’ve also had the pleasure of helping out friends and family. There weren’t many years where I did not have an animal in my life!! I am currently working full time, however weekends at anytime and any work day after 5pm I’m capable of pet care, though I can make adjustments if needed as I work from home. As I will be doing mostly walks and sitting at owners home I will ask how your fur baby likes their company and how to best create safety for them.

We had a great experience with Zahra. She took excellent care of Momo, followed all her routines, and sent regular updates with pictures that gave us real peace of mind. Momo quickly got used to her, which says a lot as she's usually a little shy at first. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

Teodora is always great and I can recommend her having used her previously to look after my cat. She is professional and reliable and very good with my cat amd I know I can be assured that my cat is in good hands when Teodora is looking after her. Thanks Teodora

Susan is so caring with my elderly cat, he is relaxed with her, she is very professional, friendly and organised, Susan askes if any health issues ect with my cat. Organising collecting and dropping off keys as well as keeping me updated, I received messages and video after visiting which is reassuring whilst I am away he is always calm and contented when I return home thankyou Susan!!
Ana is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants true peace of mind while they’re away. Her communication was brilliant from start to finish, and I loved receiving her daily updates and photos — they were thoughtful, detailed, and showed just how well she cared for my cat Winston. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and my cat was relaxed, happy, and so well looked after. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

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.
