She was able to commit on short notice and was liked by even the most picky of our pets. They were super happy and barely noticed we were gone. She also responded to messages in a timely manner and it really helped put our minds at ease.

About: I live in Basingstoke with my family and have been in the UK since 2003, having grown up in South Africa. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t imagine a home without pets in it. I share my home with one awesome little Jack Russell who is truly the centre of my heart and my family’s world. Growing up with pets has taught me how important they are as family members, not “just animals,” and I understand the love, patience, and care they deserve. I’m fortunate to work from home, which means I’m always around for my children and our fur baby. This also allows me to offer reliable, attentive care for other people’s precious companions. I have the time, availability, and genuine passion to help give pets the care, comfort, and attention they need while their owners are away. I work flexible hours from home and do the daily school run, but outside of that I’m available for pop-in visits, walks, daycare (at my home or yours), and overnight boarding — both during the week and at weekends. Pets in my care are treated as part of the family and looked after in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a family home with children who are kind, gentle, and used to being around animals, as well as our friendly 1-year-old Jack Russell, who is well socialised and loves having company. All interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. In my home, pets are never left alone for long periods and their routines are kept as close as possible to what they’re used to, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. My home is clean, secure, and pet-safe, with plenty of space for relaxation and play. I carefully consider each booking to ensure it’s a good fit for a home environment and introduce pets slowly and thoughtfully. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency and trust. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs and cats, and over the years I’ve built a strong foundation of hands-on experience and knowledge in animal care. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and I’m also a dog handler in the military reserves, which has given me a high level of discipline, responsibility, and confidence working with dogs of all temperaments. I have my own German Shepherd, so I naturally have a soft spot for larger, high-energy breeds and understand the level of exercise, structure, and stimulation they need. I’m very passionate about animal welfare and always provide a safe, enriching, and positive experience for every pet in my care. Alongside this, I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour and experience in training dogs to a high standard. I aim to reinforce good habits on every walk, from lead manners to calm social interactions - helping make life easier and more enjoyable for both dogs and their owners. As well as furry companions, I’m also experienced in exotic pet care. I have 8 reptiles of my own, so I’m very confident handling and caring for a variety of species, making me a great option for multi-pet households. I am a full-time dog walker/pet sitter so have all the time in the world for your fluffy friends! I do however attend one weekend a month for my military dog handler role but I'm sure I'll be able to fit you in around that! I offer in-home pet care through house sitting, so your pets can stay happy and relaxed in the comfort of their own space. I really value creating a calm, safe environment and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. I naturally like to keep things clean and organised, so helping out with household tasks is never a problem. I always like to go the extra mile, I always aim to go the extra mile, so you can return to a home that feels just as clean - if not cleaner than you left it, with your pets happy, settled, and well cared for.

About: Greetings, pet parents! My passion for animals is matched only by my proven patience with nervous dogs. For almost 8 years, my own beloved, often anxious canine companion has been my greatest teacher, showing me just how much a gentle approach can transform their well-being. I also had two wonderful cats as family members for about 13 years, which truly deepened my appreciation for their unique personalities and needs. My career as a freelance prop maker provides me with a highly flexible and mobile schedule, which is a real advantage when it comes to pet sitting and dog walking. This availability means I can usually be there for your furry friend whenever they need me. Im available daily after 2pm for walkies. Check-in visit available daily. Boarding is also availabe. Fenced yard available. I also have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Walkies will be on leash ALL the time. Daily photo update available upon request.

About: I’ve grown up with all sorts of pets from dogs to mice. Dogs are my favourite but I love all animals and have looked after family cats whilst they’ve been away. I work from home during the week so can be flexible and I also have availability at the weekends or in the evenings as well. Happy to follow any instructions, big or small, to offer owners peace of mind that your pets will be well looked after in your absence.

About: Hi my name is Anna :) I simply adore all animals and do believe a home is not a home without one. I cant think of anything better than to be curled up on a sofa with a doggy by my side. Having recently lost my Mini Schnauzer Mutley earlier on this year I now feel ready to put all my love and care into something as rewarding as this. In the last few years I have had 4 Mini Schnauzers one of which was a rescue from Battersea (Missy) She came to me a scared nervous dog who had never even seen grass or been on a lead and struggled being in the same room. She eventually after a little time blossomed into the sweetest poppet and lost her fears and lived the life she so truly deserved. I can honestly say it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I dearly love all animals and want you to know they would receive the best care ❤️ in my company. A truly pampered pooch ! X I am currently at home so able to give full commitment to your pet. I have a completely fenced off back garden in a fairly quiet area. I have a fenced off back garden in a reasonably quiet area. My home is their home and I would allow them everywhere in the house.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, both my own and those of friends, neighbors, and family. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s for walks, cuddles, feeding, or giving medicine. I always treat pets like part of the family and love building trust with them. Your pup will be safe, loved, and happy with me! I currently work 2 hours a day in the evenings , so I have lots of flexibility and time to care for your pets! I’m available most weekdays and I can also do weekends and evenings. I love spending time outdoors with dogs and giving them the attention they deserve. I have a large, secure garden where dogs can safely run, sniff and explore daily. I also have 1 very friendly golden retriever who loves company. Your pet will be cared for with love and attention in a calm, safe environment. I can follow any special instructions you provide and crate your dog if needed.

About: I've kept pets all my life and I adore them, inc Cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, tropical fish. I enjoy the company of animals and taking walks with my seven year old dog Charlie. In a previous job role I received an award from Hampshire police, for community safety and worked closely with the local dog warden and RSPCA to ensure the safety and welfare of animals. I am working but I can take your dog with me if you wish as I have private space, inside and outdoors. I am available for house sitting too and can be flexible to accommodate individuals needs and requirements. I only take one dog at a time, with the exception of dogs living in the the same household, therefore I can commit to giving your pet/s all my attention. I have a private fenced garden so your pet can roam free, alternatively I can come to your home to care for your pet/s, take for walks, let a cat in or out, and make sure they have food, water and lots of attention, including reptiles, fish, small animals etc. I have my own dog Charlie, he does spend time with my daughter as we part share him so if your dog isn’t dog friendly please let me know I will ensure your dog is alone during his/her stay.

About: Thank you so much for clicking on to my profile! My name’s Alicia and I have been caring for a variety of dogs for over 5 years. I absolutely love spending time with pups and getting to know each one’s unique personality. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or a cuddle bug, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they were my own and always aim to provide the same care and attention you’d give them yourself. Lunchtime walks are guaranteed in green open space and I can let your dog out in the garden whenever needed for playtime and pee breaks! I work from home most of the time so can accommodate during this time. I always go on a walk during the day and can provide unlimited potty breaks in the garden. When caring for your dog, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We have a house with a secure fenced garden where they can play and explore freely. During the day, I maintain a consistent routine with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and a walk around lunchtime to keep them active and happy. Whether it’s for the day or an overnight stay, I aim to create a calm, welcoming environment that feels like a second home. Please note that I do not allow dogs to sleep in my bedroom, if this is something your dog requires then kindly note we will be unable to cater. Thank you.

About: A little about me 🐾 I’m basically the go to pet sitter for friends and family, although I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, I’m usually looking after everyone else’s! Whether they come and stay with me or I stay at theirs, I absolutely love having animals around. I treat every pet like they’re my own - lots of walks, adventures, playtime, cuddles and of course…plenty of treats 🐶🐱 I love taking dogs out on fun days, finding new places to explore and making sure they’re having just as good a time as their humans are. I’m also more than happy with a cosy night in and some four-legged company. Basically, your pet will be thoroughly spoilt, very well loved and probably wonder why you’ve come back so soon! 💜 I’m currently working as a freelancer, so I work from home and have lots of flexibility with my time. This means I can easily fit pet care around my day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I actually love having a reason to step away from my laptop for a walk, so it works perfectly for both me and the pet! I’m happy to adapt my routine around their usual walks, feeding times and needs. I’m happy to either have pets stay at my home or look after them in their own home, depending on what works best for them. At my home, I have a fully fenced garden, big comfy sofas and plenty of space for them to relax and feel at home. I’ll keep to their normal routine as much as possible, with lots of walks, playtime, attention and, of course, cuddles! If I’m staying at a pet owner’s home, I’ll make sure their pet is comfortable and cared for in their familiar surroundings, while sticking to their usual routine and any specific instructions you leave me.

About: 🐾 Experienced Dog Walker & Aspiring Trainer With over 10 years of hands-on experience with dogs and currently completing my Level 3 qualification in Dog Training, I offer more than just a walk — I provide safe, structured and enjoyable experiences tailored to each individual dog. I’m passionate about understanding dogs, their behaviour and what makes them tick. Whether your dog loves socialising and exploring with a pack or prefers their own space, I’m happy to adapt every walk to suit their personality and needs. I’m also lucky to have my own exceptionally well-trained Belgian Malinois, Boudicca, who can join selected pack walks for dogs that enjoy canine company. If your dog prefers one-to-one walks, Boudicca can simply stay at home — your dog’s comfort always comes first. 🐕 10+ years’ dog experience 🎓 Currently studying Level 3 Dog Training 🐾 Individual & pack walks available 🧠 Behaviour-focused, structured approach ❤️ Every dog treated as an individual My goal is simple: happy dogs, confident owners and walks you can trust. 🐾 A Day With Me & Boudicca A typical day starts with getting out, exploring and enjoying the world together. I like to combine fun, exercise and training, keeping Boudicca mentally stimulated as well as physically active. Whether we’re practising obedience, working on new skills or simply enjoying a good adventure, the goal is always the same — a happy, confident and well-balanced dog. 🐕❤️ I have a secure all fenced in garden, but honestly I spend most of my time out the house exploring and adventuring with my best friend Boudicca, Your companions, safety and happiness is my no1 priority

Laura was great. She came round to meet us and the cat, the cat had a prior engagement and was no where to be seen! Laura let us know each time she dropped in while we were away, due to the cat's very busy social schedule, Laura couldn't get a picture. Would definitely book with Laura again.

Chantelle is absolutely amazing. She looked after my 3 cats and 4 guinea pigs. She handled all their feeding, litter cleaning, and medications. I was especially grateful for how she managed the guinea pigs during the heatwave, constantly changing ice packs and managing fans to keep them cool, alongside keeping up with the daily poo picking. Plus, the daily photos she sent were so good, better than any I’ve ever taken of them 😂 I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter.

First time getting someone to look after our cats and was a bit of a last minute booking so very appreciative of Megan for helping us out. She came over and we talked through all of their needs a few days before which was very reassuring. Got some lovely pictures sent through whilst she was with our boys and you could tell they both had a great time with her! Thanks again Megan, will definitely be booking you again when needed! 😊

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Deane

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Deane on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of September 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 1,616 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Deane. About 91% of Deane 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:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
