“I am so grateful to Rory. My cat Gus really liked him and enjoyed their playtimes together. As Gus's mom, I really appreciated all the communication, and especially the photos. It was reassuring to see Gus was looking well. Rory came about the same time every day which must have been reassuring for my cat. All instructions were carried out and I returned to a clean flat and a happy cat. Rory was great and I would happily use his services again. I have no hesitation recommending him as a cat sitter. Thanks for everything, Rory.”

About: I have a 4 year old schnoodle who I have been training since he was a puppy. We, together, have attended training groups, neutral walks, social walks, and workshops which have supported me in developing a toolbox that can be used with various dogs. I take an individualistic and compassionate approach to each dog's needs, and if there is ongoing training, I am happy to assist with that (e.g. reactivity/neutrality, recall, prey drive, loose lead walking etc.). I am a doctoral student with some occasional wfh days. I can offer evening and weekend pet care most of the time, so please do reach out for that on days where it says I’m not available as there may be some flexibility. I will make sure dogs get their needs met, whatever this may look like e.g. walks, training, play. It’s helpful to know as much about a dog to make sure that I can meet their needs and respect what works/doesn’t work for them. At the moment, I am offering house sitting, dog walks, and drop ins. Dog walks will be one dog at a time. I will care for your pup just as I would for my own - with a lot of love. I will work with the routine you have going for them in their own space, or outside.

“Xiangyun was absolutely fantastic! She agreed to look after Christopher at very short notice, and was still able to grasp all the little things that go into looking after our fluffy guy. She sent excellent photographs, kept tabs on his health, and was very reassuring (which I definitely need when I’m away from the cat). Would have her look after Christopher again in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve taken care of all different pets I’ve had since childhood. I have a sweet spot for animals and children (I’m a nanny!), which has helped me develop patience and empathy. I’m currently working two days a week, so I have plenty of time to look after pets. There are some lovely green areas around me, ideal for long walks. I have a communal no fenced garden that my neighbours barely use, but my area is really quiet and safe. Many parks around to go on nice long walks too!

About: I had my own lovely dog for 14 years, but have also walked numerous dogs and looked after pets whenever friends/ family go away! I am easy-going and happy to adapt to cater to each pet. I live with my partner who is also a pet lover, and this means someone can always be at home. I work mostly from home which means I am able to give your pet lots of attention! Between myself and my partner, someone is always home to look after your pup. I enjoy lunch and evening walks and could always use some company :) I live on the first floor with a balcony, and a small park nearby for quick strolls and toilet breaks. I’m also very close to Walpole Park for more long and leisurely walks! I am happy to follow guidelines for each individual dog.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve had three fur babies with me throughout my entire life and I love them very much. I’ve taken care of family and friends fur babies as well. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I provide quality care and comfort for you and your fur baby. They will never feel out of place. I’m currently getting my masters in acting. I’m studying abroad so I miss my pets dearly and I figured a perfect way to reconnect with animals is to help people take care of theirs. I can easily fit you into my schedule. I am reliable and I promise I am a great fit for you pet needs. I understand everyone’s house is different so I will carefully review and listen to how you like things to be upheld in your house. I will use that and care for your pets respectfully and professional manner.

About: I am a South African working full- time in London and due to being away from home (and all my furry family) I am looking to my spend time, love and attention with animals. I have grown up around dogs of all sizes, cats and horses. I have always been passionate about animals mostly due to my family’s influence and their love for rescuing animas. I grew up with a rescue cross German Shepherd, a toy-pom terrier, and an English bulldog. And of course there were always at least two cats in the house. I have walked and stayed overnight to look after friends’ dogs including Bulldogs, Labradors and Jack Russell’s but I am comfortable with all dog sizes. I have years of experience giving oral medication to dogs for arthritis, as well as delivering eye drops. I would love to take care of your pet and love it as if it were my own! I can offer company, love and attention that will put your mind at ease and allow you to have a productive day without the concern of your little loved ones. I would take care of your pet with the upmost responsibility with their safety and security as my priority concern. And of course give them all the attention they need! I mostly work from home so caring for your pet on weekdays would be best or on weekends if they are comfortable on public transport as I am generally out and about then. I would make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and be with them throughout the day, making sure they don’t feel alone and have everything they need.

About: I've taken care of a few dogs in my family since very young and I've always been the person friends call when they need someone to look after their dogs. I love spending time with dogs, have a few walks in a day, and giving them attention. I am currently taking a career break so I have plenty of time spending with the dog. I usually stay home during office hours and have a walk or jogging during the day. I don't have any pets or children in my home. I live on any apartment mand there is no risk of letting the dog run away.

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: Walpole Park, Llamas Park, Pitshanger Park and Cleveland 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 full time at a secondary school at the moment so I’m free to care for your pet after work (5:30pm onwards) 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 worked with Bark Brigade, my partner’s dog walking business, for 3+ years, handling both group walks and one-to-one dog care. I have experience with dogs of all sizes including reactive dogs. I adopted my own dog Cooper from an abuse situation last year. I am canine first aid certified I am currently fully flexible and am around all day in the week. I help my boyfriend run his successful dog walking company Bark Brigade in Ealing and am looking for some of my own clients on here to add into the mix! Depending on your dogs needs and preferences they can have the opportunity to join in on large long pack walks, or have quieter relaxed days and walks. I live in a flat with a surrounding garden but also can use my boyfriend’s house with a secure garden. I have my own friendly cockapoo called Cooper who I rescued last year! Most of my daycare will be active- as in we will be out of the house most of the days on adventures but am also able to go home for a quieter time if needed. I live right by 2 large parks with lots of opportunities for exploration.

About: I've taken care of my parents cat during Covid and a dog afterwards. We established special bond and I genuinely miss them. I think I can easily establish bond with different animal. I have natural gift to stay around animals and they accept me back. Living in London in a shared house I can't keep pets so I would love to care for someone else's per if possible.. I'm currently jobless and available anytime. I may have some plans on weekends but I would let you know well in advance if I’m not available I cant really bring pets to my place . I will comply with the requirements of the pet owners to care and protect their pets accordingly

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: I have always been passionate about animals and caring for them. I am not in the place to own a pet right now so would love to help others look after theirs. From the age of 14, I have worked as a dogwalker and cat sitter for the community. I have worked with a number of dogs with behavioural issues, including reactivity, as well as medical conditions. I also have experience fostering kittens, and am happy to put any pet-owners in contact with the rescue I did this with. As a result, I have experience with: socialising animals, administering medicine (in food, on skin, and directly into mouth), and caring for a range of behavioural issues. I also have experience walking/caring for reactive dogs, and training. I am happy to provide references for these skills. I am fully available until I start my new role on the 2nd of November. From then, I will be working full-time 8:30-4pm with availability before/after these hours and on the weekends. I am more than happy to travel to another home to look after pets. I am also happy to travel with pets to a different location for walking/playtime. I am unable to hosts pets in my own home.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always had a huge love for them. I’ve had four dogs over the years — two Black Labradors, a working Cocker Spaniel and a Japanese Spitz — so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes and energy levels. I’ve also regularly looked after dogs for family and friends while they’ve been away on holiday, including feeding, walking, playing with them and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m an active and caring person who loves being outdoors, so I’d really enjoy having a dog to join me on walks and adventures. I’m looking for a way to stay busy outside of work while doing something I genuinely love, and I’d be very happy to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I work full-time during the week, but I finish work at 5pm, so I’m available for walks, feeding and visits in the evenings. On Fridays, I have the possibility of working from home, which gives me more flexibility during the day. I’m also fully available at weekends and would be happy to arrange walks, drop-ins or longer stays around your dog’s routine. I live in a spacious two-bedroom flat in a pet-friendly apartment building. I have a ground-floor balcony that leads out onto a lovely large green courtyard, with plenty of open space and nearby areas for walks and playtime. I don’t currently have any pets in my home, and I don’t have any young children, so your dog can have a calm and comfortable environment. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, settled and well cared for.

Zsuzsanna takes the best care of my cats. This is my third review and honestly cannot say enough positive things. She cares about making them happy and it shows with them always running to the door the first couple days when I return. Her communication is great and I travel so much more comfortably knowing they are being well taken care of. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Cerensu highly enough! She is genuinely one of the most caring and thoughtful people we could ever trust with our cats. What makes her special is that she does so much more than simply look after them. She genuinely enjoys spending time with them, plays with them, sends us lovely videos and updates, and even occasionally brings treats, food or new toys to surprise them. It is clear that she genuinely loves animals and cares about their happiness and wellbeing. One thing I particularly appreciate is her extensive experience with cats and how generously she shares her knowledge. She often gives us thoughtful, practical recommendations based on her experience, even down to little things like adding ice to their water during warmer weather. It is these small details that show just how much attention and care she puts into what she does. Over time, she has become someone we trust completely, not only to look after our cats but also to help us be better cat owners. That kind of trust is incredibly valuable, especially when you are leaving beloved pets in someone else's care. I genuinely could not ask for anyone better. Anyone lucky enough to have Cerensu looking after their cats can rest assured they will be treated with real love, patience and attention.

Kate was looking after my cats for 1 week in my flat. She was visiting twice a day. She was wonderful! She was playing with them, brushing them, feeding them and cleaning the toilet- all exactly as I would have done myself. She was sending photo reports after each visit. My cats were relaxed and happy, which matters the most.

FAQs for Pet Sitting – Ealing

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ealing is £17 per Visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £28 per Visit.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 24,854 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across the city of Ealing. About 83% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

Yes. There are up to 24,854 pet sitters offering care in and around Ealing. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.

Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.

You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.

Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.

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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.

Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
