“Samantha was really professional and friendly and gave us regular updates on our two cats while we were away. Would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets in the future.”
“Nobody could've taken better care of Barney than Liam! He left everything in perfect order. He cared for Barney as if she was his own. I can highly recommend Liam to anyone wanting a cat sitter. I don't think you can find anyone better. I would only leave Barney with someone trustworthy who would take great care of her. ”
About: We have both taken care of cats and dogs and horses since we were 10 and would love to have your pets stay in our cottage and become part of our little family during their stay. My partner Jamie and I both currently have a flexible working arrangement which means that we are often working from home during the week. We are also available for boarding at weekends. We are surrounded by countryside, with plenty of options for dog walking right on our door step. We do not have any other pets or children at home and we have a small enclosed front garden which is perfect for quick toilet breaks and sunbathing. Happy to arrange any pre booking meetings, if you want to check out our setup. Look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!
“I was nervous about leaving my cat with a sitter I didn't know for the first time, but that didn't last for long!

I knew he was being looked after well and would definitely recommend”

About: I have experience walking a range of different dogs, with different sizes, ages and personalities. I’m reliable, patient and confident handling dogs, and I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and care. I’m happy to adapt each walk to suit the individual dog and their needs, while keeping owners updated along the way. 🐶 I have a flexible routine, which allows me to fit dog walking and pet care around my schedule. I’m available for regular weekday walks as well as occasional visits, and I can be flexible with timings to suit each dog and their owner. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for. I’ll stick to their usual routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and keep owners updated with photos and messages. 🐶
About: Growing up my aunt owned a cattery & kennels, so I spent many years helping out, caring for the animals. I’ve always had my own dogs & cats, mainly from rescues as I could never bare to see them unloved. My nan always said, never trust a man who doesn’t like dogs haha & I live by that. I’m currently working part time, Wednesday - Friday for around 5 hours a day but have flexibility around my days and hours if need be. Obviously if there is an pet that cannot be left for longer then a set time, I would carefully take this into consideration. I would treat your pet as if it were my own & with the utmost care. I understand that every pet & their owner is different & may require different care, so would openly discuss this upon booking.
About: Hey everyone :), I am excited to get to know you & your furry friends. I have grown up with dogs from a young age, and have always believed a dog makes a home complete. I would love to tend to all the needs of your pet/pets, feel free to contact me with any enquiries. I am a a stay at home mum, available all days of the week to care to spend time and take care of your fur baby. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe and loving environment. Depending on the service you need, I am flexible and will try my best to cater to the personal needs of each client .
“I really appreciated Karolina’s help with checking in on my cat while I’m at work. It was a very last minute request and she didn’t hesitate to assist. She documented her visit with loads of pictures and clear communication which I really appreciate. I feel much more relaxed knowing my cat will be alright at home until I’m back!”
About: While I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats, my love for dogs is just as strong—and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through sitting for friends, family, and neighbours over the years. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace, I’ve cared for them all. I understand how important consistency, calm energy, and clear communication are when it comes to looking after dogs—especially when they’re adjusting to someone new. Whether it’s sticking to a regular feeding routine, administering oral medication, or making sure they get enough exercise and attention, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the personalised care they deserve and acknowledging when your pet requires nurturing, affection and play time. I’m confident with walking, feeding, basic grooming (like brushing and wiping muddy paws!), and giving your dog the companionship they need while you’re away. I also make sure to learn each dog’s individual personality and preferences—some love long walks, others prefer cuddles and quiet time—and I adjust my care accordingly. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, it’s always been a dream of mine—so caring for yours is truly meaningful to me. I’ll treat them like part of the family, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and most importantly, happy! I currently have a commitment which durates to just 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday (3 PM – 6 PM), which leaves me with plenty of time and energy to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I’m available and flexible every day—including weekends and bank holidays—and I’m more than happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday walks, evening cuddles, full-day care or even overnight stays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both the family and your pet. At home, I have one very spoiled Ragdoll cat who even has his own house attached to ours! While he’s a house cat, we’ve created a safe, secure outdoor space so he can explore freely. He’s treated like royalty—endless cuddles, enrichment, and affection—and I bring that same level of care and compassion to every pet I look after. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve always dreamed of having one. So caring for your baby will genuinely fill a little hole in my heart 💛 Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the garden, or just a comfy cuddle session, I’m ready to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. Although I understand that every pet is different, I acknowledge their individual needs and always provide the best possible care for them. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, senior, or needs medication or special attention—I adapt to their personality and routine to ensure they feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our family. I've owned and cared for cats for many years, had my own much-loved French Bulldog, regularly cared for a Labrador and have also fostered cats in our home. Both John and I work from home, so pets staying with us get plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We're very happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, bedtime routines and - most importantly - plenty of cuddles and attention. We have a secure fenced garden and no pets of our own currently. We do have two young children who have grown up around animals, so for boarding/daycare we only accept pets who are comfortable and safe around young children. We know how nerve-racking it can be leaving your pet with somebody new, so we're also very happy to send regular photos and updates while they're with us. We want them to feel like they're staying with family. ❤️ I work full time from home as does my husband so we are always around to help with any animal needs. We have two young children that love animals. I have a fenced garden and lots of treats and toys. Our home is the pets home so they will feel as if they are having a holiday of their own.
About: Hello 😃 I work as an equine therapist in the Barnet area, and live in Hertford. I work on-site M-T and wfh on Fridays. I am available to take your dog for a walk first thing or in the evenings; if I have them boarding then I can take them to work with me (behaviour dependant 😜), but I’m pretty flexible so please do get in touch with your needs. I love animals and although I’ve never had my own dog, I have been looking after my friends puppy for over a year, from when he was just a few months old, and spend lots of my time with the dogs at the yard. I work at a stables, so I can have your dog with me all day if they are well behaved. I’m always happy to chat on the phone to discuss further 😃 Although I don’t have a garden, I love long walks, so your dog can have as much exercise as needed. I’m happy to allow pets on the sofa, but am also happy to keep your boundaries. I don’t allow pets on my bed.
About: I've always had pets from cats to dogs etc. I have plenty of years of experience with training and caring for pets from a variety of ages. I am currently working remotely, therefore I am available most days of the week and can work most hours! From early morning to late evening. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fairly large fenced garden, maintaining privacy. Your pet will not feel anxious as it is a peaceful area with minimal disruptions, so your pet can relax.
About: I am currently back living at home with my parents & rescue dog Alfie!! There is no better company than a dog (although deep down I’ve always been a cat person number 1- don’t tell Alfie!). I’ve done multiple dog sits and pop ins for cats. I get just as much out of it as them, and find it hard to say goodbye!! I am reliable and have been doing the same pups & cats for a few years. I am a restaurant supervisor, so my hours are odd and I tend to get random weekdays off. I’ll most likely be serving a Sunday roast on a Sunday. My hours range from 9-3, 9-5,12-5, 5/6 - cls and once or twice a week I’ll work a double. I am a cat / dog sitter so will come to you. I am very experienced with cats, and own two big dogs so size does not bother me! In fact my sausage dog that I dog sit is the one I fear the most ;)
About: I've been passionate about animals all my life. I have looked after small,medium & large dogs; as well as cats. I regularly look after my friend's dog on a Tuesday all day and vaious other times and have looked after her for two weeks while she was on holiday. Currently I dont own a pet; so if your dog is nervous around othe animals there is no concern. I am friendly and kind and would love to meet your little bundle of fur. I currently work part-time in the care industry. I would be available Monday from 2:30 pm. Thursday-Sunday. I might be available for drop ins depending on what time you need.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - East Hertfordshire
First time I've used Rover and Claire to look after our elderly cat. Came home to a very contented cat and everything was spotless. Claire provided me with a detailed daily update, together with photos. The updates really give you peace of mind when you're away from your pet. Our return home got delayed by a day and Claire didn't hesitate in agreeing to carry on for an extra day at very short notice. I would definitely recommend Claire to anyone in need of a pet sitter ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Hertfordshire on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 8,159 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in East Hertfordshire. About 90% of East Hertfordshire 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
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
