“Thank you Dolly for your excellent service and care for our girls. They were both very happy when we returned and Dolly was great and communicated with us on every visit as we requested. Our shy girl even came out for her which is amazing! Will definitely be using Dolly again in future. We didn’t need to worry with our girls in Dolly’s care! ”

About: Animals have always been part of our lives — one of us grew up surrounded by cats, the other by dogs — so caring for pets feels completely natural to us. As teenagers, we were the neighbourhood dog walkers, trusted to handle everything from quick midday walks to long adventures with energetic pups. We’ve raised our own pets too, and we’ve both had to say goodbye to elderly companions who needed slower walks, gentle reassurance, and lots of love in their final years. Because we work from home (and I have summers free as a teacher), we can offer flexible walking times that fit your dog’s routine. We love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog wants a fast-paced outing, a steady confidence‑boosting stroll, or a calm sniff‑filled wander, we’ll make sure they feel happy and cared for every step of the way. We have loads of time for pet care during the day. One of us works from home, so there’s always someone around, and with me being a teacher, I get long holidays that make our schedule even more flexible. It means we can fit walks, playtime, and company around your pet’s routine without rushing. We’re in our mid‑20s with no pets or children, and we have plenty of daytime availability — one of us works from home and I have lots of holidays as a teacher. Our garden is a good size and fully secure, giving dogs a safe space alongside their walks.
About: I've taken care of animals all my life! Whether it's tiny newborns up to elderly pets. I've currently just finished my Level 3 Animal Management college course which has given me valuable insight into all animals ranging from farm animals all the way to exotic and aquatic animals. It's given me skills on Small animal rehabilitation, Training, Grooming and general health. I have all the certification to prove! I have applied to become a veterinary nurse at my chosen university and i'm awaiting my grades for this year! I have always wanted to become a veterinary nurse since i was a child as i am strongly passionate about animals and their general day to day care. A little bit about my life: I have had pets all my life including dogs, aquatic fish, guinea pigs and hamsters. This has given me a great understanding of the day to day care needed for your pets needs. I have also sat for neighbours, friends and family members when ever i am needed as i couldn't think of anything better than to take care of their furry friends :) I'm currently working part time fully flexible at my workplace, i usually get my rota 2/3 weeks in advance and can always book certain days off if needed to accommodate your furry friends! With this i can easily assist on days i am needed and will provide reliable and quick responses when necessary. When it comes to accompanying your furry friends i will always ask if they have a specific routines or any special/restricted dietary requirements as i know this is very important! Unfortunately i do not offer to bring your animals to my house as i have a cocker spaniel aged 2 who is very easily excitable and can be too much for other dogs! Therefore when looking after your animals whether it's a toilet break or lounging around for naps, they will always be in my eye sight to guarantee their safety.
About: I’ve had dogs since childhood and understand that they need security and love, along with exercise and great care. A warm happy household awaits your furry family member! I currently work from home and have easy access to the park across the road, where our dog goes for his daily walk. There are plenty of other longer walks available nearby, too. I have a large secure fenced garden, perfect for a doggy friend for Monty. Our dog Monty loves all other dogs, even nervous ones! and puts them at ease.
“Emily looked after our cat whilst we were away, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy and even washed the cats bowls etc.. We would definitely recommend Emily and will book her to look after our Puss again.”
“Sarah is a friendly and very competant cat sitter. We’ve not had a cat sitter before but would defintely be booking her again for our next holiday knowing our cats will be well looked after. Sarah sent us an update and pictures of the cats on each visit which made us feel comfortable knowing the cats were all OK at home. Many thanks again Sarah.”
“Ione is an absolute star!! She has been so attentive with our boy while we were away and definitely 'gets' cats and all their quirks. Merry has been his usual happy self around her and we felt very comfortable leaving him under her care, even having just moved house with all the stresses that entails! Thank you so so much!!”
“Kate came and did a drop in visit for my sausage dog Kevin!! Kate is professional, friendly and really cares about your pets. We got a message and some pictures of what Kevin had been up to which helped us knowing that he was well looked after! Kevin looked like he had loads of fun!! We will definitely be booking in with Kate again!!!!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Keishia look after my two cats, Lola and Oscar, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her care. From the start, she was professional, friendly, and clearly had a deep love for animals. She took the time to learn about their individual personalities and needs, ensuring they were both comfortable and well-cared for while I was away. She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Keishia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter for their pets. Our cats are already looking forward to their next visit!”
“Ezra seemed so happy with Kate! She sent some lovely photos and he was very settled with her, which is really great as he can sometimes be a bit nervous with new people. I’ve already booked her in again! Thanks!”
About: I have looked after dogs for the past 25 years and have taken in many rescue dogs and supported re-homing therefore I am used to various different breeds and personalities. I work from home so I am available throughout the week therefore someone will be with your dog for most of the time. The only time they would be left in the home is when I have to nip out to the shop ect. I have cameras in the home to keep an eye on them. I am fully animal focused and i love playing and walking with them however I know all dogs are different and will mirror your routines that you have in place so the changes to your baby are minimised

I was very comfortable leaving Roly in Shirley's care whilst I was away. Roly is a very anxious cat around new people so it's always hard to leave her, but I could see from Shirley's photos she sent whilst I was away that Roly was warming up to her - not an easy task!
We were really pleased with Elenya as our cat sitter. She followed everything we requested and took great care to make sure everything was done exactly as we had asked. Even though our cats weren’t always around and could be difficult to spot, Elenya was patient, reliable, and made sure to keep us updated. We really appreciated her attention to detail and the care she put into looking after everything while we were away. We would happily recommend Elenya to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter!
Had a fantastic experience booking Alice. From the initial communication (very responsive) through meeting her (both our pets liked her instantly) to her looking after our pets for a number of days, she's been absolutely superb. She is very dilligent and goes above and beyond caring for our pets attending to their needs within their home environment. She was great at updating us, relaying info and folllowing any instructions or requests perfectly to support our pets whilst we were absent. We came home to waggy tails and loud purrs. We and our pets have been delighted to find such a professional and wonderful petsitter and would hire her again without hesitation for future bookings.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Erewash on Rover is £13.8 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 933 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Erewash. About 90% of Erewash 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.
