About: "Hey there! 🐾 I'm a true animal lover with a heart that's always had a soft spot for our furry friends. My journey started with my adorable Maremma shepherd, whom I cherished from his puppy days. We splashed in rivers, took long walks, and created memories that'll forever make me smile. My experience extends beyond my own pup – I've worn the hat of a dog sitter for a lively German Shepherd, a playful Golden Retriever, and an energetic Vizsla puppy. From walks to playtime, I've been the go-to for their daily dose of fun and care. Now, I'm here to shower your pet with the same love and joy. From cuddles to play sessions, your furry companion and I are bound to have a blast. 🐶❤️🐾" I'm working from home Mon-Thur, finishing at 5 pm. During the day I can play, stay with your dog and walk it as needed, as my schedule is pretty flexible. Free the whole weekend (Friday included). I'm outdoorsy and usually spend my weekends in parks/forests or hiking. I'm also an equestrian, so if your pets enjoy it, I can bring them along with me so that they can socialise with other animals! :) - Communicate with the owner about routine, diet, and special instructions. - Follow feeding schedule and portion sizes. - Engage in regular exercise and playtime. - Provide bathroom breaks and clean up promptly. - Administer medications as directed. - Groom as needed (brushing, bathing, nails). - Create a comfortable and safe environment. - Be cautious with doors and hazardous items. - Monitor health and behavior; update the owner. - Know emergency contacts and plans. - Respect the home; clean up and follow rules.

Yasmin looked after my three-legged cat Skippy. She was so great in how she put Skippy at ease and played with her and took her outside for supervised garden time! She bought Skippy her favourite treats which was so lovely and thoughtful. I got updates and photos for each visit and everything looked more tidy than when I left! I’ll definitely be using her again!

I can’t recommend Atena highly enough. She looked after my kitten, Nefertiti, while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind throughout. She took excellent care of her, making sure she was fed properly, her water was always fresh, and that she received plenty of playtime and stimulation. It was clear that Nefertiti wasn’t just being cared for she was being genuinely looked after and entertained. Atena also sent regular updates, photos, and messages, which really helped me relax knowing that Nefertiti was happy and doing well. One thing that particularly stood out was how content and settled Nefertiti was afterwards. When my mum came to look after her after Atena had left, she wasn’t overly demanding or restless, which showed that her social and play needs had been met. It’s obvious that Atena genuinely cares about animals and treats them as if they were her own. I would happily trust her with Nefertiti again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.

Erica and Louie are amazing, reliable, caring, thoughtful. I've asked them to look after my cat Thomas twice so far and I'll trust them to look after him again without any doubt. They send a lot of pictures and detailed reports and they genuinely care about Thomas and go out of their way to make sure he's fed, entertained, cuddled and has a clean litter. Great cat sitters, great people, can't recommend them enough!

Bilqis was great with our little cat, who's quite nervous. She put so much time and effort into getting friendly with her. We were very grateful for her updates whilst away too as it's the longest we've left her. I'd book Bilqis again without question, she made us feel very comfortable and we came back to a very happy cat. Thank you!

About: Hi, I'm Hannah! 👋 I'm a qualified Veterinary Nurse with a genuine, lifelong love for animals 🐾 — for me this is more than a job, it's what I love doing. I grew up in Perth, Australia 🇦🇺 with a Golden Retriever, so I know exactly what it's like trusting someone else with a much-loved family pet, I treat every animal in my care the way I'd want mine treated ❤️ I've spent over three years as a Veterinary Nurse in busy small animal practices, caring for hundreds of patients through surgery recovery, illness and everyday health needs. I'm trained in medication administration, wound care, and spotting early signs of illness or distress, skills most sitters simply don't have 💊 I've also fostered neonatal and medically compromised kittens 🐱, hand-rearing them from just four weeks old and nursing a few through cat flu and pneumonia. Some of the most rewarding work I've ever done. Whether your pet has medical needs, is recovering from a procedure, or just needs a bit of extra love while you're away, I'll care for them like my own - attentive, gentle, and confident following your instructions exactly 🏡 I work part-time as a Veterinary Nurse, with my rota confirmed well in advance, so I can plan around my shifts with plenty of notice. I offer care exclusively in your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar environment — no unsettling car journeys or unfamiliar surroundings, which is especially reassuring for anxious pets or those with medical needs. As I care for pets in their own home rather than mine, your pet's routine, environment and comfort stay exactly as they know it. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication and daily habits, and my veterinary nursing background means I'm attentive to any changes in your pet's normal behaviour. I treat every home and pet with the same care and professionalism I bring to clinical practice.

About: Since a young age I have always loved being surrounded by animals. Over recent years, I have regularly looked after my friends and family members pets, whether it was for a day or a week, and give them lots of attention when they stay over. I work from home full time, which gives me flexibility with my schedule, and I keep my Rover calendar up to date with my availability. I currently live in a ground floor flat with direct access to a fenced off garden. Both adjacent neighbours do not own any animals. I can easily adapt the housing environment to suit your dogs needs.

About: I’m a HUGE animal lover who has been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for my friends, family and extended personal networks for over 10 years. I also worked as a pet walker and sitter over a period of 4 years whilst studying at university. More recently, I have begun this work in the Ealing area after moving here myself with my partner Jo, who also helps me out on sits sometimes as well! I can provide walks, drop-ins and sittings which I do alongside my almost fully remote, part-employed part self-employed work in psychology. Personal living circumstances don’t allow for me to have my own pets at the moment, but I grew up with family dogs and guinea pigs, and until fairly recently, spent much of the time looking after my late fur-sibling, Lisa, a retired greyhound who my parents lived with! I’m currently working on an 80-90% remote basis, part time employed and part time self employed. This means I have good mid-week flexibility and availability for dog walks and drop ins, and am also more than happy to work from your house if you’d like your pet to have some longer company while you’re out for the day! I’ve walked, stayed with and generally cared for many pets for over 10+ years, and have always done everything in my power to ensure their usual care and routine is as uninterrupted as possible. I treat others homes the way I would want mine to be treated, and always leave things as they were found. Most importantly - I give the pets all the fuss, love and attention I would if they were my own! I am fully insured.

About: I had a dog since I was 10 years old, so I am very well versed with what a dog needs. I trained her, walked her and cared for her. I am a freelancer but I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I am available upon short notice and have a lot of free time to care for your pet. I will cater towards what the pet owner requires in terms of walking, feeding, and socialising with other people or dogs. I am very respectful of people’s space at home.

About: Hiya! I have a very big love for dogs, and am happy to give them the love they need when you go on holiday, need to work from the office, or just have fun pet-free plans. I’ve taken care of so many different kinds of dog breeds (old and young) on Rover! Some highlights: Bernedoodle, Vizsla, Golden retriever, Pug, Pomeranian, Great Dane, Bernese mountain dog, Giant poodle, Toy poodle, Staff terrier, Jack russell terrier, Yorkshire terrier, Mixed breads. I’ve also taken care of my own toy poodle for 14 years (who has sadly passed a few years ago) and have cared for my friends and neighbour’s dogs as well. I like taking the dogs I meet on Rover on walks in the surrounding areas: Avondale Park, Holland Park and Hyde Park are very fun for walks. Sometimes we even travel outside of London to places like Black Park County Park, Richmond Park, and hiking trails near Surrey with the dogs we care for, so they can have longer country walks. Just in case, we have an airtag we can put on their collar and are always extra careful on these long walks with dogs. :) We (My husband and I!) have a nice private garden for your furry friends to play and exercise in. To give you peace of mind, you can expect to get photos and videos of your furry friend while they are staying with us. I’ll also always update you if there’s any questions or concerns so no need to worry about them while you’re away! I work hybrid at the moment so I’m free to care for your pet on most weekdays, after work and weekends. I prefer boarding stays that are 5 days or less but for longer stays it’s negotiable. Especially if I’ve taken care of your pup before! Dogs I’ve cared for easily trust me, and have fun walking around the nieghborhood or in parks in the area. I am always careful to keep the dogs I walk safe and stay clear of busy roads. Thanks for considering me to be your dog’s next sitter!✨

About: I've grown up surrounded by animals (dogs, cats, birds of all ages), worked in veterinary clinics and completed my bachelor's in Veterinary Sciences at the University of Nottingham. I am currently working full-time (from 9am to 5pm) in Canary Wharf, but would love to take care of pets afterwards or on the weekends. I pay a lot of attention to what they need, whether it be food, walks, or cuddles! If they're quieter, I give them space. If they're more excited and full of energy, I play with them!

About: Hi! I'm Caitlin I’m 25 and my favourite way to spend time is outdoors, come rain or shine and training my 18month German shepherd called Kaia- who’s super friendly but can be quite anxious at times. So I have spent lots of time and energy into learning from others how to specifically train/help her with her anxiety around other dogs and separation from the pack. If this is a trait that your pet has then I can understand how hard it is to leave them with a stranger however I believe my experiences makes me the perfect sitter/walker for any type of dog even those who struggle with confidence. Saying that playtime and cuddles will always be my favourite part of the day! I have experience with walking lots of different breeds of dogs when doing favours for family and friends and have also experience of dog sitting for two lovely pups who’s favourite game was running after a laser pen! Even though I wasn't fortunate enough to grow up with pets at home (not from a lack of begging at every Christmas and birthday...) my favourite holidays were ones where I could visit family with pets that I could walk, train and pretend were my own, from a very young age I was building the foundations of the essential qualities needed to have a pet. I am a freelance assistant working in the creative industry as my background and passion is Photography, this leaves plenty of time in my week for caring for your pet as jobs for me don't come on a regular schedule. As I currently live at home overnight boarding isn't possible yet but pet sitting and walking is definitely a service I can provide. I'm very flexible with timings as long as your pet can be left for a minimum of 3 hours so I can engage with my other passion, health and fitness because just as important as it is to keep our pets healthy I need exercise daily too! I'm really open with my dates and times when I'm not working I have almost endless free time to dedicate to caring for your furry loved one! I have a German Shepard but she lives majority of the time with her other pet parent 5 minutes drive away so although your pet can have a friendly play mate its also avoidable if necessary. I can provide a crate if needed. My garden is fenced and I have multiple parks very close by as well as access to private land where being off lead is very safe. Kaia has had a few health dramas in her short life so have had practise in administrating oral meds, sometimes tablets that had to have been wrapped in chicken or cheese!

About: I regularly care for my mum’s 2 dogs, including a rescue, which requires more patience and understanding than usual. This has included feeding, walking, picking up poo, and giving medicine and other requirements on schedule. I have also dog sat for other clients for whole weekends. In addition, I have looked after cats, including experience house sitting with a cat for more than a week. As I have always grown up with a cat in the house, I recognise their behaviours easily and can tend to them as needed. I woke full time, but from home. I also work flexible hours, so can tend to your pets inclusive of their needs. I can be completely free anytime before 10am, between 12-2pm, and after 4pm. This means I can accommodate any pet routine, and pay them ample attention. I am respectful of other people’s homes, and ensure I follow the rules. If the pet has limitations on access in the house, I will ensure this is abided by. I never leave food unattended around pets. If the dog goes outside, I will observe until it comes back inside. When looking after a dog, I will ensure I am in its company. When looking after a cat, I will ensure constant check ins to ensure it’s comfortable.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ealing

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ealing on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of August 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 8,210 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Ealing. About 90% of Ealing 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
