“Allie was great looking after Catrick. She took a lots of photos and left such detailed reports after her visit which gave me real peace of mind whilst I was away. The result was coming home to a cat who was happy, settled and just happy to see me. It’s clear to see that Allie is a natural with animals and my cat trusted her instantly. Would 100% recommend Allie!”

About: Love all dogs big and small! I grew up with a family called Kim and now have a dog of my own called, Luna! She is a 5 year old border collie x golden retriever mix. She gets on well with all dogs and I have been working on reactivity with her for the past few years. She has came on amazing and taught me a lot about reactive/nervous dogs. Over the years I’ve gained a lot of experience with dogs through family members dogs and walking them! I currently work part time and most times I finish by 2pm-3pm. I’m more than happy to use my free time helping other dogs owners by walking/visiting there dogs! As I have a puppy my flat is well puppy proofed so all dogs would be safe and also well stocked with plenty of toys. While I do not have a garden I am a ground floor flat with access to a grassy area right outside, as well as this there are plenty of lovely walks nearby and I am 2 minutes from a great big field as well at the beach!
About: I have volunteered in three dog shelters over the years and walked a lot of difficult dogs living in the neighbourhood or sometimes helped out with work colleagues taking in their animals while they are away on holidays. I work from home most of the time and currently between jobs and have allowance for all sorts of short term assignments. I currently have a cat I look after and can have dogs staying over at my place if they are unconcerned with a cat being present. I grew up with all sorts of animals small and large and can deal with even difficult animals having spent a lifetime watching their body language and finding a healthy way to communicate to make them feel happy.
“Anna was fantastic when looking after Apollo and Ares. She even managed to befriend Ares who is usually elusive and doesn't engage with people. Photos and videos were plentiful! We had a difficult situation with a broken lock on the second to last day, which could've happened to anyone, but Anna made sure the cats were fed through their cat flap and got in touch quickly so we could arrange a locksmith to resolve the issue. I'd happily recommend Anna to anyone needing their cats looked after!”

Amie is an amazing cat sitter! She took great care of our cats and their individual needs while we were away. She checked in and sent regular updates/photos each day which gave us total peace of mind. I highly recommend Amie to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter and we wouldnt hesitate to use her again. Thank you! 😊
There are many good things i can say about Eilidh. But really its the cats opinions that matter. Trudie likes Eilidh, she likes everyone. Bea, hides when the door goes, Bea does not talk to strangers and takes a while to warm up to my friends. Bea liked Eilidh instantly! Bea was comfortable from the second the met. She came to say hello, she allowed brushing and wanted cuddles. That is very rare and the biggest commendation I can give. Id a better break knowing my girls were happy, fed, brushed and content with eilidh.
Thank you Jodie for looking after Ginny while we were away! Jodie did a brilliant job, giving us regular updates throughout our time away, and going above and beyond to make sure Ginny wasn't left unattended during the latest heatwaves. Maybe next time Ginny will even come out and say hello! Highly recommend. Thanks again, Matt and Robyn

FAQs for Cat Sitting – East Lothian
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in East Lothian on Rover is £15 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £13 and £21 per Visit.
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.
There are 721 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in East Lothian. About 92% of East Lothian 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 occurred. 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 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.
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.
