We were apprehensive about leaving our rescue 8 month old kitten for the first time, but Evie came to visit and make friends with Patch the weekend before. We felt happy and confident and happy he'd get along fine. hShe kept us updated and sent photos of him looking happy with his treats. And even better he didn't seem that annoyed that we'd left him overnight :). Thanks Evie. First time leaving our 8 month old rescue kitten overnight, and we were a little apprehensive about leaving him. Evie came and visited to make friends with Patch beforehand which was great, and we felt confident he'd be fine with Evie visiting him whilst we were away. She kept us updated and sent photos of him looking happy with his treats. And even better he didn't seem that annoyed that we'd left him overnight when we got back :). Thanks Evie.

Izzy was absolutely amazing looking after my 2 cats, and I couldn't recommend her more! 1 of my cats is usually scared of any strangers (she hides from people she's known for years) but Izzy played with her and managed a pet or two. Izzy went over and above and I will certainly be seeing if she is available again!

About: I’ve taken care of a range of animals my whole life, my neighbours have asked me to take care of their pets ranging from a quick pop in to feed the cat, a lap round the village with the dog, putting the geese away at night and dog sat for many an evening. I am a student who has just moved home from university and am writing my dissertation so I have a very free and open schedule at the moment. I ensure that I have asked the owners all necessary questions in order to feel comfortable with the animal and ensure I can provide them with the very best care.

About: I have had and looked after many animals (mainly rescues) since I could walk. I have extensive experience with dogs and have grown up around cats. I have been pet sitting in Melbourne Australia for the last 3 years and love working with my clients regularly to help their dogs feel settled while they are away. I have worked with all sorts of dogs from chilled out sleepy pooches to angsty or nervous pets! I am currently work part time with some study online, which can be done from home. My shifts are normally only a maximum of 5 hours as I work as a personal trainer, so your pet wouldn’t be on its own for long! I don’t offer dog sitting in my own home as I have a rescue dog who is not great with new dogs. However in your home I promise to leave it clean and tidy and make sure your pet gets all the attention and walks or pets they need!

About: Ever since a child we’ve had family dogs and cats. At one time we had 4 dogs, 12 cats, 2 horses and a 50 Holstein heifers! I love all kind of animals, wide knowledge with different breeds of dogs. I have veterinary care knowledge, and experience in dog behaviour. I’ve currently got two dogs, one cocker spaniel and one Labrador. They’re full of energy, happy and enthusiastic. That’s exactly what I love about them! I work full time on a dairy farm, available in the mornings and evenings. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I am available all day to allow dogs to board. I have two fenced/walled gardens which are thoroughly secure. I have two dogs at home, they are dog friendly and love to play. Toilet breaks are available 0-2 hours. We live on a farm, so therefore there’s endless fields to walk through safely.

About: Hi! I’m Jasmine, and I have lots of hands-on experience caring for animals. I currently work as a veterinary receptionist at a small animal vets, so I’m used to being around animals every day and understand the importance of their health, welfare and individual routines. I’m also starting an Animal Science course at college and working towards a career in veterinary nursing. I’m responsible, caring and reliable, and I’m very happy to follow detailed instructions from owners. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy while they’re in my care. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your dog and hopefully become someone you can trust for regular walks, drop-ins or pet care! ❤️ Pet care would fit really well around my current lifestyle. I work part-time at a small animal vets and will be starting my Animal Science course at college, so I would mainly offer pet care around my existing commitments, particularly evenings, weekends and days when I’m available. I’m organised and responsible with my time and would only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I’m hoping to build up a small amount of regular pet care alongside work and college, rather than taking on too much. I’d especially love to build relationships with local owners who need someone reliable for regular dog walks, drop-in visits or occasional pet sitting. I have dogs of my own, so I’m very used to caring for animals safely and responsibly. I make sure they’re secure, have everything they need, and are never left without proper care. 🐶❤️

Ellie was great. Came round at arranged time for a pre-meet and was very professional and organised gathering the information she needed. She was flexible and accommodating in meeting our cats particular needs and I felt confident entrusting our cat and home to her while we were away. Our cat is quite timid but was a fan of Ellie, choosing to sit in her lap for a cuddle which is rare. Really appreciated the photos to give us peace of mind that our beloved cat was well and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use again and to recommend.

Elena responded very quickly to our enquiry to look after our cat Rosy while we were on holiday, and was proactive about understanding Rosy’s needs and routine, asking insightful questions. We received many photos and notes while we were away, which gave us plenty of assurance that Rosy was being cared for very well. We returned home to a happy and content cat! Elena patently loves cats and can be trusted to look after them - can definitely recommend!

About: I have several years of experience with pets, mostly dogs but also small animals and cats. I have two family dogs that are working spaniels, so I’m used to high energy and finding ways to stimulate them! I also have experience with senior dogs and blind dogs, I am able to administer medication, give extra attention and any additional needs. I have also done volunteer days at different animal charities in which dog walking was a large part of - I have worked with dogs in muzzles, different behaviors and temperaments. Charity days also largely consist of cat sitting and socializing so I can also offer drop in visits to cats for playtime/feeding etc! This also applies to small animals - having two guinea pigs myself that are spoilt, I am more than happy to pop into your smaller pets for a check up / feed and snuggle! I work for a pet retailer, so my experience with pet handling and knowledge around pets is second to none. I would love to walk / pet sit during my time off as it fills my days! I do currently work in retail management. But would love the opportunity to start looking after pets with my time, I am quite flexible due to working shifts also. I can easily use a crate and have experience with crate training. The garden is secure and house is secure. I would recommend a good quality lead and harness for walks.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have 2 cats and a dog currently. I got my dog 4 years ago. I trained him from a puppy. I have a level 3 degree in animal management and also volunteering experience in a vets practice. I have a massive heart for all animals big or small. I am currently working part-time so have plenty of time to look after all pups and kittens. I will work my pet sitting around my hours at work but since I only work part time I have loads of time to spare. I take my dog for walks everyday but due to him loving his sleep he sleeps most of the day. Due to me not offering pet sitting in my home. I will feed, sit, play and walk dogs and cats from the comfort of owners homes. Since being around dogs and carts nearly my whole life I have loads of experience of how to properly take care of animals.

Cassie is absolutely amazing! She took the best care of my cat Molly while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for more. She was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated with me regularly to keep me updated on my pet's activities and well-being. I was impressed by her attention to detail. She was also very flexible which made the whole experience stress-free for me. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone in need of a pet sitter. I feel so lucky to have found her and I know I'll be using her services again in the future.

About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal psychology. I can read the body language of both cats and dogs, adjusting my care to their individual needs. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or your dog requires special attention, I tailor my approach to create a calm and safe environment where your pets feel comfortable while you're away I’m available all weekend, so I’d be happy to take care of them during that time but if someone really needs me I am available during the week as well. I prioritize your pet's safety, trust, and comfort by maintaining a secure and familiar environment in your home. I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels at ease. I ensure their space is clean, safe, and stimulating, and I make sure to maintain routines they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I provide the same level of care and attention as if they were my own.

About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.

Evie provided very good care of our cat Ted. She kept in regular contact with us, and we received daily photos. It was lovely to go away for a break and we felt reassured that he was well cared for while we were on holiday.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits – Derbyshire Dales

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Derbyshire Dales 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 1,240 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Derbyshire Dales. About 92% of Derbyshire Dales 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
