About: I have experience in a Veterinary setting as an animal care assistant. And have gone to college for animal care and achieved two certificates in the welfare of animals. I currently work at an animal hospital so my weekly availability changes. However I am able to change and be flexible. I can walk and check on cats and dogs in the morning and evening and pop in on weekends. I can feed and clean litter boxes, i can walk and take dogs out for the toilet. I can also provide them comfort and all the cuddles they need!
“Tasha did a fantastic job of looking after Panther & Rogue. She was updating me regularly; asked my preferences on different topics eg when the weather changed and got cold what temperature I preferred to have for my cats & how to change the heating; & sent videos & photos as per my requests. Would definitely recommend Tasha & choose her again. Xx”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so caring for pets has always been something I genuinely love and enjoy. I currently have a Jack Russell called Dexter who is full of energy and needs lots of attention. I’m used to taking him on regular walks, keeping him active and entertained, playing with him throughout the day and making sure he gets plenty of exercise and stimulation. Caring for a high-energy dog has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive and adaptable to each dog’s individual needs. Furthermore, I trained Dexter from when he was a puppy up until he “graduated” from the course and now 7 years later he is still following instructions from everyone in the family as well as my friends who come over and meet him. I also have experience with caring for puppies and older dogs from pet sitting family pets I also had a Norwegian Forest Cat before Dexter, who I absolutely loved caring for. I was very involved in looking after him and he became very attached to me, I loved having a cat around, from spending time playing and giving them attention to simply keeping them company. I’ve also cared for family members’ dogs for periods of up to 10–14 days on at least five different occasions, taking responsibility for their everyday routines, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime and companionship. Being around animals of all different sizes and personalities from a young age has given me a genuine love for animals and confidence in caring for them. I am currently in my summer holidays waiting to go off to university at the start of October, meaning i’ve got a lot of free time on my hands especially in September, I am free anytime and happy to work around customer schedules, I have lots of experience with all different types of pets and i’m not put off by much. When i do go off for uni i’ll be located in Brighton but still back often especially in summer holidays where families tend to go away. Regardless I'm a short drive away from my house and happy to pop back home to help owners when needed I am unable to take care of pets in my own home as my dog does have anxiety and doesn’t get on with all pets, so there’s no way to know who he will get on with, but i’m happy to offer pet sitting in the owners home, as well as lots of fun walks, play dates and popping in to check on pets where needed. I do drive so it’s not a haste to pop by serval times a day when not spending the night
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to balance structured care with plenty of love and playtime.

Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, treating every pet as if they were my own.

“I would highly recommend Sabrina is lovely and I would rebook her again. She sent me daily updates on my cat .she sent me photos and videos to let me know how my cat socks was getting on while I was away for a week. Thank you so much for looking after socks”
“Magda has been an absolute gem these few days while i have been away, making sure my cats are fed and watered and looked after, but she made me feel like she was genuinely caring for them during her visits with pictures and videos, my little Jasper even took a little nap on her arm! He looked so comfortable, a little quality time. And that makes me happier than anything, the boys were very clearly comfortable and happy with her company, and that means the world. Would absolutely recommend Magda to friends and I definitely would love her to take care of them again if i'm away. Thank you <3”
“Lena was great. First time booking (& using Rover) Lena was very responsive. Arranged a meet & greet quickly and was very accommodating and flexible when the timing changed. Really understanding and good with my elderly dog Bella. Have already booked again.”
About: I love animals but since I can’t have them full time I compensate it by cat sitting for friend and neighbours. I don’t force an animal to anything and take time to for the cat/dog to get used to it and build my connection. I follow the owner instruction to a T and make sure the place is kept clean. I work full time therefore I won’t be able to accept it all the assignments but I do make it work so far with friends. I usually take care of the pets in their own home not to give them more stress. I tent to stay in their house and also keep an eye on the premises.

Well what can I say, Jude was a dream come true, she was very responsive and informative during the booking process. Jude was punctual and professional throughout the duration of the time she was looking after our cat Monkey. Even when our very naughty cat decided to give us all a fright by doing a disappearing act for a few days while we were away. Jude still kept in contact and did everything within her power to try and find him... she went above and beyond and treated Monkey as well as if he were her own. Monkey returned home halfway through our trip as if nothing had happened. Thank you for all the updates and videos to keep us reassured throughout. I am sorry that he gave you such a stressful time. I would highly recommend Jude. She is a true animal lover and great to work with.
Tasha was great looking after our two cats. She sent updates after each visit with photos and videos so we knew they were doing well. Tasha won round our shy cat Nora, who came out of her hiding spot for strokes. We'd definitely recommend Tasha and would book her again.
Magda has been amazing! She has kept us informed after each visit by leaving photos and detailed reports, which were so lovely to see whilst we were away and missing our kitties. She took such great care of our two cats and showed genuine interest in them. She spent time with them, playing with them and cuddling them not just feeding and cleaning litter trays. We are so grateful and will definitely be asking Magda to look after our girls again. Thank you Magda!
It was my first time using Rover and directly found a great cat sitter, Claudine was very lovely and our cat felt comfortable with her right away. Despite a slight mishap with her car, she still managed to look after the cat and keep track of her visits. Ruby was very well fed and looked after, definitely will be booking Claudine again.

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.

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.
