About: Hi, I’m Denise, a caring and reliable pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with dogs and cats, including rescue dogs, and have experience looking after dogs for friends and housemates, from walks and overnight stays to caring for them while their owners are away. I’m naturally very outdoorsy, so I love taking dogs on long walks where needed. I currently work part-time as a support worker with young adults with learning disabilities, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I treat every dog as if it were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m happy to look after high-energy dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I also have experience with puppies, nervous dogs, and rescue dogs. I have public liability insurance too, so you can have that extra peace of mind. I’d love to look after your dog and make sure they have a happy, fun and comfortable time while you’re away 🐾 I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits! I currently work part-time as a support worker, so I have plenty of flexibility. My schedule changes weekly, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages if you ask for it so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t offer pet sitting in my own home at the moment, but I’m happy to travel anywhere within 30 miles
About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home
“Jasmine stepped in at last minute and will such short notice she was still able to come across the day before to meet myself and my dog, Pasha. Jasmine kept me updated with lots of pictures which is always so nice to receive when out. Will definitely use her again.”
About: Thanks to my dear friend Silvia, probably you know her, I started to think in start my new journey taking care of other people's family members. I have been around pets most of my life, and recently I started to share time with my beautiful neighbour Willow, so she taught me so much about cats. I am new and willing to learn all about it. Thanks for the trust! See you soon. I'm currently working part-time in the evenings from M to F, so I have plenty of time. Just contact me, and we can arrange it. Open to listening to your needs and seeing what I can do. I can offer sitting at home and also walking on the green; I can also walk and use a bicycle to reach your place. If the distance is long, I can use public transport; I will let you know the transport fees.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have grown up in a household surrounded by animals - dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles and horses! I also have hands on experience pet sitting. I’ve house sat for extended periods where I looked after a Golden Retriever and on a separate occasion I cared for two Black Labradors. Alongside dogs, I’ve also lived with and cared for cats, so I’m comfortable looking after feline friends too. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’m always happy to follow specific instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules or just keeping them company, I’m committed to making sure they’re well looked after while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. If you’d like to arrange a meet and greet or have any questions, feel free to get in touch. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home in a flexible role, which means I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, and keeping pets company. I do occasionally go into the office, but I always plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care are happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Outside of work, I love being active and outdoors - especially at the weekends, when you’ll usually find me out for long walks by the beach or heading into town for a coffee. I’d be more than happy to include a dog in those adventures (if they enjoy it!) or tailor the day to suit their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s individual needs and follow instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free for them, as I would want someone to look after my own pet! I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners can feel confident and reassured.
“Lin was lovely with my 12 week old puppy. She stayed with her for 2 hours while I visited a friend - they played and snuggled on the sofa. Lin has a lovely attitude to dogs, she's very gentle and Tilly absolutely loved her new play buddy. Thank you Lin!”
About: Hi! I’m currently a postgraduate student living in the UK. I’m quite a calm and patient person, and I really enjoy spending quiet time with animals 🐱🐶 I once rescued a stray cat and took care of it for about 6 months, so I understand the responsibility of feeding, cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have some experience with dog walking, and I’m always gentle and attentive when looking after pets. As a student, my schedule is quite flexible during the week. I’m happy to follow your routines carefully and send updates, so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. I may not have years of experience, but I will genuinely care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m available in the mornings from 7–9am (Monday to Friday), evenings from 5:30–9:30pm (Tuesday to Friday), and I have full availability on Saturdays. I try to be flexible whenever possible, so feel free to message me to discuss your needs! When caring for pets in your home, I will make sure to respect your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I will try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m a clean and tidy person, and I will make sure everything is left as I found it. I’m also happy to send updates and photos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Alexandra was great. They communicated all throughout the time spent visiting. Leo was kind enough to show up and say hello. Will use again and encourage others to do so as well.”
“Michelle and Robert looked after our cat with drop in visits over the Christmas period. We found their report cards very reassuring and detailed. Loved all the pictures of Mog playing with them! We would definitely use them again!”
“Rachel did an amazing job keeping me updated with how things were going and sent me photos of very happy dogs. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.”
About: Hello, We are Hannah and Sam and we've been full time global petsitters for over 3 years, from house cats in Dubai to Beagles in India. Now we are back in Exeter and want to continue our love for petsitting. We’ve been fortunate to receive many lovely reviews from pet owners who appreciate our attentive care, regular updates, and the bond we build with their pets which we are happy to share upon request! There are two of us on the profile, so your pet gets double the attention, double the love and double the care! It also means should an unforeseen event occur where one of us can't make it, you can rest easy knowing the other person can still manage the booking. Sam and I both grew up with dogs and have a deep understanding of what it takes to keep them comfortable and content. Whether it’s playing games, engaging in fun enrichment activities, or taking them on exciting walks, we treat every dog as if they are our own by making sure they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you're away! We are both local to Exeter so know of all the safe and fun walks. A dog’s routine is incredibly important to us, we find that sticking to their usual schedule keeps them happiest. Whether it's mealtime, walk times, or bedtime, we work around their routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. As I am self employed our schedule can align to theirs. Also, if house sitting they would have company and lots of attention throughout the day. We believe that communication is key, especially when it comes to your pet’s well-being. If we notice any changes in their behaviour or something seems off, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring you always know how they’re doing. We have experience administering medication, including pills and topical treatments, and have cared for senior dogs, including those with hearing impairments. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a little patience, or simply their usual routine, we’re committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in our care.
About: I've done cat sitting in England, and back home I shared my life with 3 cats of my own so I know firsthand how much personality (and routine!) every cat has. I even took one of my cats on a trip to the seaside with me, so I understand what it takes to keep a cat calm and comfortable outside their usual environment. When I look after your cat, I stick to their feeding schedule, keep the litter box clean, make time for play, and just try to be a calm, familiar presence while you're away - the way I'd want someone to care for mine. I'm especially patient with shy or nervous cats, and I love sending photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. I'm available for cat sitting after 5pm on weekdays, and on Wednesdays I'm also free after 2pm. My weekends are flexible too, so cats are welcome to stay overnight at my home from Friday through Sunday. I'm happy to arrange a schedule that works around your cat's routine and your travel dates. When cats stay at my home, they have a safe, comfortable, cat-proofed space to relax in. I also have a small fenced garden, so cats who enjoy a bit of supervised outdoor time can safely explore while I keep an eye on them. I keep fresh water and food available at all times, clean litter boxes daily, and make sure there's plenty of quiet time as well as play and cuddles, depending on what each cat prefers. Since I have had 3 cats of my own back at home in Ukraine, I'm mindful of introducing new cats slowly and safely, and I always keep a close eye on how everyone is settling in together. I'm also happy to follow any specific instructions from owners regarding feeding, medication, or routines.
“Anna was fantastic. Even with the difficulty of getting into the house she made sure she got in and that the cats were fed. The mess the cats made with the cat litter she cleaned up and disposed of the litter outside. My cats are very shy and hide from strangers but she went looking for them every day to make sure they were okay. Would definitely use again and highly recommend”
About: Fully insured and DBS checked. I'm an experienced pet sitter, dog walker and a massive animal lover, looking to extend my surrogate furry family! Having grown up around both dogs and cats, I know what a special place they hold in the family home and I really enjoy getting to know their different personalities, favourite games, little quirks and making them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I've had more than three years professional experience of house and pet sitting I have loved and looked after a range of different animals from lively puppies, goofy spaniels, elderly cats and cuddly labradors My dog sitting style is pretty relaxed but firm. If there are any commands or ongoing training you'd like me to continue with, then just let me know 🙂 I work Monday–Thursday, 9–5. I’m available for long weekends and overnight sits, and for longer bookings where pets are happy being left during the workday (e.g., most cats) or if you have a daytime dog-walker in place. Evenings and early mornings are covered by me I currently offer house sitting, day care in your home and dog walking around Exeter and the surrounding area. I only accept one booking at a time so you can be sure your pooch will be getting all my attention! I'd love to meet up for a walk and get to know you and your fur baby. Can't wait to hear from you!
About: Hi I’m Anneka (39) and I absolutely love dogs. My daughter (Ruby 16) desperately wants me to get one however I also work 30hrs a week. So we have compromised to Rover and we have met in the middle. I’m very attentive and want you to feel at ease leaving your loved one with me. I live close to Exeter quay and I’m always going on long walks. Also willing to take dogs in my car to different locations. It would be a pleasure to look after your furry friend! If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Many thanks, Anneka. My availability varies. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to look after your dog. You not only get me you get Ruby too. Safety is my number one priority. Your dog will never be left alone. They will always have access to fresh water and fed regularly when needed.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge thank you to Josie for helping with my dog while I was away! She popped in to keep her company, let her out for toilet breaks and took her for little walks around the block. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. super reliable and clearly loves dogs — would definitely recommend! 🐾”
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I recently cared for two family cats who both lived to 19, so I’m experienced with senior cat care. I have a 12 year old lab I’ve raised since he was a puppy, so I know the breed well. Having cared for pets across every life stage, I am comfortable adapting to whatever a dog or cat needs. I'm a student with a flexible schedule, so I can take on 2–3 drop-ins or walks every day of the week, all within the Exeter area. In your own home, I will ensure to keep an eye on your pet at all times, sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable. On walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash at all times and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I have had family pets all my life. I have looked after friends, family and my own pets, taking them out for walks, feeding and cleaning when required. I have recently finished my third term of university therefore have a lot of time to spare over summer! I also play professional sport, and have a lot of time in the mornings and on off days to look after your pets! I have a secure house and outdoor space. There are no other pets in the house. I would take your dog well known and pet friendly areas.

Thank you Oliver for looking after our cat for two weeks. Communication was great whilst we were away, and definitely put our minds at ease. Oliver also fed our fish and watered the plants when it was scorching! A big thank you and we definitely recommend him.
Bryanna is a friendly, conscientious and trustworthy person who managed to get my 15 year old timid cat to allow her to pet and play with her. She is patient and kind and took on board all my requests perfectly. She sent videos, pictures and updates everyday. I will definitely want to book her again.
Leo has been a pleasure to work with. He has clearly bonded with my rather shy, timid cat and engaged with her so she has come out of her shell with him. He has always respected the instructions left. I will certainly ask for Leo when I next need cat care services.
Lin was absolutely amazing, she was an amazing cat sitter for my very nervous cat. She managed to somehow warm him up to her and he also let her pet him in just three days. She sent me pictures and followed the guidance I provided well. She also kept me updated through out her visit. Would definitely book her again! Thank you Lin.

There are 205 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Exeter. About 88% of Exeter 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.
