About: I've always love animals and have experiences for caring for animals through looking after pets for friends and family whether if its for a day event or longer! I'm responsible for keeping them fed, taking them for walks, giving them plenty of attention and making sure they're happy and comfortable whilst their owner is away. I'm currently taking a gap year, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I'm available most days and can be flexible around your pet's routine. I'm happy to spend plenty of time with your pets, whether that's walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping them company. I'm happy to care for your pooch in the comfort of their own home, doing this i believe it will keep them in their usual routine and surroundings. I'll always treat your home with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, happy and comfortable whilst your away. I'm also happy to follow and specific instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medication and anything else they need.
“From start to finish Hanna has been wonderful, friendly, quick responses & attentive to my preferences while I was away. She did a fantastic job of caring for my x2 kitties, who are quite scared normally. Thank you Hanna 💜”
About: Aspiring veterinary student with dedicated experience caring for dogs and cats of all temperaments and sizes. I specialise in personalised care treating all pets as my own! this looks like managing strict dietary schedules, monitoring temperature regulation for specific breeds, and assisting pets with physical disabilities or paralysis. I pride myself on providing clear daily updates with photos and videos for smooth communication/transparency alongside treating every pet with gentle, attentive care. I ensure to offer loving care tailored to your pet's exact additional emotional needs, whether that means managing high-energy breeds, comforting pets with separation anxiety, or following strict comfort routines. With my background in pre-clinical veterinary studies and hands-on pet care, you can rest assured your dog or cat is in safe, knowledgeable, and reliable hands. Caring for pets is my primary job, so as a gap-year student running my pet care business (pawfectcarer), I have full, flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends for full-day care, overnight stays, and drop-in visits. I especially love working with regular clients because building lasting relationships creates a strong emotional bond with your pet and provides them with a comforting, reliable routine. Getting to know your pet inside and out enables me to fully understand their unique personality, body language, and specific needs, ensuring I can provide the absolute highest standard of personalised care. Safety, health, and peace of mind are at the core of everything I do during pet sitting. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits or overnight sitting in your home, I maintain strict safety protocols—ensuring double-locked doors, secure garden boundaries, and zero access to household hazards. I also make sure your house is left clean, tidy, and safe before I leave. Backed by my clinical veterinary coursework, I closely monitor animal body language, stress levels, and overall physical health. I strictly adhere to all dietary, medical, and behavioural instructions, providing you with frequent photo, video, and text updates so you know your pet is completely safe, relaxed, and loved.
About: I have long‑term experience looking after dogs, cats and aquarium fish for friends and neighbours. I am patient and careful with all kinds of pets. I can handle daily feeding, playtime, basic health observation and tank maintenance for fish. I will keep owners updated on their pets’ condition. I work part‑time. I have flexible free time on weekdays and full availability at weekends. I can arrange visits for pet feeding, play and check‑ins, and respond quickly to any messages from pet owners. I offer pet care mainly at the owner’s home. I will keep a calm, safe space for pets, follow feeding and care instructions strictly. I observe pets’ behaviour and report any changes to owners without delay.
About: I have experience of dogs for more than 20 yrs. I have my own pet dog who I have cared for last 4 years. Love dogs. I work from home. So the dog stays close to me 24 hours. I have 2 teenage kids who are animal lovers too and knows how to lookafter dogs. My youngest is very good at dog training, and dogs likes her company. I have a fenced garden and outdoor field for dogs to run around. The house is fully air-conditioned to help fur babies stay cool in summer. I do also occasionally put doggy splash mat for them to play during summer days. Your pet will have a pawerfet holiday while you are away.
“Chloe was great! She picked up the booking last minute and was really proactive asking me questions and sending updates. I returned home to a settled and fed happy cat : ) I will absolutely use Chloe again!”
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!
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 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.
About: Friends, neighbours and family have all counted on me to look after their pets. I have bathed, walked, pet sat, fed the pets that I have cared for. The care I have provided includes dog-walking. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have plenty of free time to burn and have a blast with your cute pets! I am available in the morning & afternoon, but I'm flexible and can accommodate mornings and evenings too. If they have any specific needs/anything that I need to be aware about e.g. doesn't like traffic, other dogs etc. Also if you have any specific rules for your dog such as not being allowed on furniture or no treats during the day.
“Rossy was an excellent car sitter. Highly responsive and incredibly friendly and polite and very trustworthy. She took excellent care of my lovely cat when I was on holiday for a week and I came home to a very content and happy cat. She really went the extra mile to take good care of him and to put mind at rest. I will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’m a true animal lover who grew up with beagles, and have house sat for all kinds of dogs and cats, so I understand first-hand that every animal has their own personality, quirks and needs. Some of my pets have been challenging at times, but they’ve taught me how important patience, understanding and building trust can be. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from huge Great Danes and energetic Huskies to Pitbulls, Staffies, Golden Retrievers, tiny 16-week-old puppies and cheeky rescue Beagles with a serious eye for picnics! I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, parrots, Guinea pigs, chickens, horses and a host of other animals, and I’m happy adapting to each pet’s individual routine. For the past few years I’ve been regularly house sitting through another platform, so while I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to house sitting or caring for animals. I’m responsible, tidy and respectful of people’s homes, and I understand how important it is to leave your home safe and cared for as well as keeping your pet happy. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication, extra patience, cuddles or simply someone to stick closely to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved and well cared for while you’re away in their own space. P.s I’m also happy to take on longer house sits, including extended stays over the Christmas and New Year period. I’m flexible with dates and would be happy to discuss longer bookings with owners. I’m an actress and freelancer, which gives me a very flexible, home-based schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. As an actress, auditions are now generally self-tape auditions, meaning I can film from home and don’t need to leave the house for auditions. If I do book acting work, I typically have weeks or even months of notice, allowing me to plan carefully around any pet-care commitments. Alongside acting, I tutor GCSE English Literature, Maths and Science over Zoom, and I also upcycle and resell clothes, all of which I can do from home and schedule flexibly. This means I can work my day around a pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine. I’m able to adjust my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, walks, company and care they need, and I’m very conscious that some animals are happiest when their normal routine is maintained. I particularly love house sitting because I can genuinely be present and make a pet feel like they have someone around while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for them. I follow their normal routine as closely as I can, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication and bedtime routines. I know that being in their own home can be especially comforting for pets while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of the home I’m staying in. I’m tidy, clean up after myself and the pets, and treat every home with the same care and respect I would give my own. I’m mindful of things like keeping doors and gates secure, following any house instructions carefully and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I’m happy to spend lots of time with pets throughout the day, and I’ll adapt to their individual personality, whether they’re energetic and want lots of walks and play, elderly and need a slower pace, nervous and need patience, or independent and simply want someone nearby. I also like to keep owners reassured while they’re away, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, settled pet and a home that has been looked after just as carefully as they would have looked after it themselves. 🐾
“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: What sets me apart is my ability to balance structured care with plenty of love and playtime. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and understood, whether that means high-energy walks for active dogs or cozy snuggles for older ones. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, treating every pet as if they were my own. Currently I'm fully flexible for the foreseeable future ~ if not than my Wife os happy to accommodate/take over. Mon through to Sunday, any hours, just liase with me and I'll do my best to meet your needs. I am on the ground floor of an apartment complex situated near Greenhithe Station/Ingress Park. An outdoor sealed off balcony, safe for Dogs & I would say Cat's but they have no boundaries 😂 With plenty of outdoor and walking space.
“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”

Miglena is a very warm, friendly person. Meeting her on our Meet & Greet, she immediately put me at ease about leaving my baby in her care. She couldn't wait to meet Shah Shah and was very attentive to the instructions I gave her for Shah Shah's care. I would absolutely rely on Miglena to look after my animals any day of the week! I highly recommend her 👌🏻
Jude did an amazing job with our Ruby during her drop-in visits! She was incredibly reliable, punctual, and kept us updated the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cat was in such caring and capable hands. We will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch cat sitter!
Mariya has been great and my kitty Oscar really took to her. She has learnt how to give him his insulin injections (diabetes) and has also had to give him his other meds (thyroid). She kept me updated with photos and videos. Mariya is lovely and I will definitely be using her again!
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!

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 .

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.
