“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!”
“We “found” Denise in August as we were going away for 3 days to a family wedding in London. There was no way to take George, our Border Collie, Denise came round beforehand to meet him and impressed us with her calm nature and ability to deal with a very enthusiastic George. She has loads of experience with bigger dogs and he got on with her immediately. While we were away she kept us thoroughly updated with texts, photos and videos and also fed our cat. We were so impressed with Denise’s work we asked her to come again for one nights birthday away day/ night. We will absolutely be asking her to help us out again.”
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
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.
“Isobel did a fantastic job looking after our kitten for two days. Communication was excellent throughout, and she kept us updated with photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our kitten was happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isobel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you!”
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.
“Myah did a great job looking after my dog. She took the time to meet him in advance and followed all the instructions I left for the house. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve always lived with cats but am a lover of all animals. Have lived with a large dog part-time for the past 3 years (a crazy Vizla shown in my photos!) so am not intimidated by bigger/ high energy dogs. I have looked after cats, dogs, hens as well as small pets since around age 12. I’m very calm, will make sure your pet feels safe and happy to help however I can. Have experience dealing with senior animals and administering medications too, very willing to discuss requests like that. 🌟 I’m a final year uni student studying Biology. Happy to sit and study if pets just need some company while you’re out, as well as get out and about on a walk! Very adaptable depending on their needs, happy to cuddle or leave them be. I totally understand each animal has their preferences and I’ll always accommodate to what they like🐕.
About: I have walked dogs since I was quite young, have had cats and horses all of my life. While I have never cared for dogs in-home, I am extremely reliable and know the responsibility of feeding, medicine, bathing and so on. I don’t have any other work right now so I am completely flexible around your schedule to provide a service as hands-on as required. I have a fenced garden and two friendly cats. I love to spend as much time as possible with my animals and any that I care for.
“Absolutely amazing! Such a helpful kind women, my old boy Pogo clicked with her instantly and have arranged regular dog walking off the back off how good Anna was with him herself! Very informative but not in your face. Just an overall really good experience made me feel at ease with letting her in my home without me there and keeping hold of a key for the week. Would highly recommend.”
“Anna was just right, obviously an animal lover and a lovely person. Very happy to leave our dogs with her for the afternoon and I would certainly ask her again . We met beforehand and she asked lots of relevant questions to get to know the dogs’ needs so that she was well prepared. Professional and friendly.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have my own. I know the importance of a routine and their comfort, their individual needs such as needing space or wanting to cuddle. I’m comfortable with administering flea, tick and worm treatments, and currently looking into dog/animal first aid. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I have lots of time for walks and sitting in the evenings or early mornings, especially during the summer. Weekends are a lot more flexible, and happy to walk dogs who get on with others as I have my own. I’ll always ask owners first but happy to provide solo walks if preferred. In my own home, I have an enclosed garden and live with a very friendly and social cocker spaniel. Indoors, I have a separate kitchen and living room, allowing for space for dogs if they stay. My dog sleeps in a crate in the kitchen which has a baby gate so separation can be provided if necessary. Very friendly neighbourhood with parks and good green parks available for walks close by.
“I've had Liam pet sit for my adult cat, Turtle, before and he always did a great job. This time, however, Turtle had the added complications of having a diagnosis for a skin condition right before the sitting: he suddenly needed new food and a daily medication. I felt terribly that it was all so last-minute, but Liam was incredibly accommodating and professional about taking on his additional needs. He kept me updated every day on how he was doing, and it was very reassuring. I came home to a happy, healthy little guy. Thank you, again, Liam!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🐾”
“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!”
“Ryan was prompt and very polite and clearly experienced with dogs. Elsa took to him immediately on meeting and gave him lots of wags and kisses. They enjoyed a play but he then got her to settle nicely as well. I'm already planning on booking Ryan again for a longer stay.”
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.
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.
“Morrigan was a very responsible, reliable and conscientious loving sitter and made a real effort to gently get to know my fur babies, making sure every day, twice a day, without fail they had a caring, friendly face looking after all their needs. She did over and above feeding, playing and getting to know them and their unique ways, cleaning after them, building relationships and giving them attention and affection that they craved while I was away. I couldn't have asked for more! Having never used Rover before I am extremely impressed with how Morrigan managed the visits, timings and needs of my pets so well. I am very happy with Morrigan's genuine care and concern for them and efforts at keeping them happy, clean and well fed while I was away. My fur babies seemed to really trust and like her and I would definitely be happy asking her to come again. I would recommend to friends or anyone a little nervous about not knowing who may be coming in your home to take care of your precious pets. Highly recommended!”

Bryanna was a fantastic cat sitter for my 2 ginger rescue boy cats. Highly reliable, organised and communicative. Made regular visits as planned at brilliantly appropriate times morning and evening times. Kept me updated at all times with timely check in up dates, photos of the pusscats in action, eating, playing and engaging with them daily. I felt very comfortable, confident and secure in the knowledge they were being well cared for during my 7 days away. Happy cats, happy customer! Would highly recommend Bryanna for gentle and reliable approach, organisation, and her honest, friendly and genuine professionalism. Would definitely use Bryanna again!

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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Exeter 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 210 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.
