“Caley went above and beyond to look after our two boys. I couldn’t have been more confident that they were in good hands and that she would have recognised if anything was amiss and contacted me if needed. Caley’s visit card updates were really thorough, with lots of photos. It was great for us to hear a little bit about what they were getting up to while we were away. I honestly can’t recommend Caley enough — she was professional and friendly throughout! From booking the first face-to-face visit to dropping the keys back, and even the amazing card she’d made with the boys on, everything was fantastic. Robyn, Family & The Boys x”

“Leah was excellent with my cat, and understood I was anxious about leaving her for 6 days. Leah sent me lots of photos and videos to reassure me and my cat quickly got into a routine with her, eating well, and having playtime. It was a weight off my mind and I could enjoy my holiday. ”

About: My girlfriend and I have had family pets since we can remember, we love looking after dogs and have always been the go to for family and friends as we have our own house with a spacious fenced garden for them to run around. We would love our own dog but due to work commitments during the week it wouldn’t be fair so that’s why we have decided to give our love to other dogs until we are in a better position to get our own. We can do Friday and weekend bookings. We don’t have any children or other pets so when we look after other dogs we treat them like our own and they have all of our attention while they are staying with us. We have looked after all ages from puppies to mature dogs. We don’t smoke and love going on walks, especially on the beach. Dogs staying with us are apart of the home and are allowed all over the house and on furniture if the owner is okay for them to do so. Your pet will be very well looked after and made at home as soon as they step through the door. I currently finish work at lunch time on Fridays so we can take bookings for Friday from then I finish at 13:30 and live 5 mins away so can be anytime after that, Saturday all day and night and then Sunday daytime and into the evening. We can look after a dog from Friday until Sunday or anything in between. We have a fenced garden for them to roam, the space is all theirs as we don’t have any children or other pets. 100% of our attention will be given to pets while in our care whether it’s for a few hours or overnight.

“Jodie has cat sat for us twice now, and I have nothing but good things to say about her. From the first meeting she put us at ease and Spike took to her immediately, which he does not do with just anyone. Jodie is the sweetest and most caring sitter, and I was thrilled to see that she was available on this occasion. The amount of updates, information and care which she provides is wonderful. I struggle with leaving Spike alone, even when I am at work for only a few hours, but I know he is safe and cared for with Jodie. I never worried after the very first day that she visited him. I know that Jodie is wonderful with our cat, but also from the way she talks about her dog, Pablo, you can immediately see she is an animal lover and will care for any pet like they are her own. Spike scoffs his food very quickly and is sometimes sick because of this, but Jodie told us and dealt with it without issue, even trying giving his food in stages which worked brilliantly. The litter box was clean as a whistle, his water fountain was topped up, he was well fed and given treats too. If you don't know who to choose out of pet sitters in your area and come across Jodie's profile, choose her. She is amazing. Thank you so much! x”

“Ellie is a lovely pet sitter, my cats can be very particular especially with strangers, I was a little worried at first but I was soon reassured. At the first introduction they all seemed chilled and calm when Ellie visited for her meet and greet. She took time to remember their names and introduced herself to them individually. Ellie sent pictures every day and it was lovely to see my girls so happy and relaxed. Everything was as clean and tidy as I left it. Thank you so much to Ellie for a providing such a wonderful reassuring service.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been the one in the family who takes care of them. I raised two Labradors, Maisy and Maude, a mum and daughter, and was even there when Maude was born. I’ve recently moved out and don’t live with dogs anymore, which is why I’m here. I miss being around them and want to help people who need a reliable, easygoing sitter or walker. I’m calm, patient, and happy to follow whatever routine works best for your dog. I treat every dog with the same care I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but I’m home on Mondays and Fridays, which makes those days perfect for dog sitting while I work remotely. I’m also free most evenings during the week for walks, and I have good availability on weekends for both walking and sitting. Pet care fits in naturally around my schedule, and I really enjoy having that time with dogs—it doesn’t feel like a chore, it’s something I genuinely look forward to. At the owner’s home, I follow their routine and make sure the dog feels comfortable and cared for. At my secure apartment, I take dogs out regularly for walks and breaks, keeping things calm and safe indoors.

About: I have always been an animal lover and jump at the opportunity to house sit for family and friends and that usually includes looking after a furry friend. I have had my cat Jasmine for 5+ years now, but have spent a lot of time looking after other people's animals, houses and gardens during my travels all over the world. I have a great review history from other sits I have done and references should shine a light on why I am the perfect candidate to give all the love in the world to your pets and property. I am currently looking to turn this passion into a full time job! With no other work commitments, I have time to form deep connections with clients and build trust with pets I have a fenced garden and indoor cameras at my own house to keep an eye on my cat when I am not home. i have experience with puppies and seniors and everything in between. I have given medication to both cats and dogs before and I am in the middle of receiving a pet first aid qualification. I can provide regular feedback and updates to you if requested.

About: I've had three dogs and three cats over the course of my life, so for me a family doesn't feel complete without a pet 😌. As a teenager I have taken care of dogs and I am very fond of those memories, it would be wonderful to make some new ones! I work for myself as a photographer and am studying part-time at the open university so both of these occupations allow me to be quite flexible. I will always treat every pet as if it were my own. Toilet breaks, feeding times and cuddles are priorities but of course any special care requirements for your pet are also a top priority.

About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m confident caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities. I’m patient, reliable and will always treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s a good walk, some exercise, playtime or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy and well looked after. I’m also comfortable with older dogs that may need a slower pace and a little extra care. I have a flexible daily schedule which gives me plenty of time for dog walking and pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to arrange walks around your dog’s normal routine and can discuss times that work best for you. I’m also available for regular weekly walks or occasional bookings when you need an extra helping hand. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you give me regarding leads, walking routes, feeding, behaviour or any individual needs your dog may have. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during walks so you know they’re safe and having a great time.

About: Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember, growing up with rescue cats and small indoor pets. As someone with OCD and ADHD, I have turned how my brain works into my greatest pet-care strengths: my OCD means I am naturally meticulous about structure, hygiene, and following care instructions down to the exact detail, while my ADHD gives me an endless reserve of affection and enthusiasm for keeping pets entertained and engaged. Because I do not take on dogs, my space and focus are dedicated entirely to calm, gentle animals who thrive on quiet consistency and continuous, loving attention. I provide three dedicated daytime services: Home Boarding (At My House): Your pet stays in our peaceful, dog-free home for day care or while you are away. Cats have their own secure, quiet room with climbing perches, cozy beds, and clean litter areas. Small animals and reptiles stay safely in their enclosures within a quiet, climate-controlled space, receiving consistent supervision, misting, and spot-cleaning. In-Home Full-Day Care (At Your House): I stay with your pet at your home for the entire day (typically 8 to 9 hours). This includes precise feeding times, litter and enclosure maintenance, habitat temperature checks, play, and steady human company for pets who hate an empty house. Drop-In Home Visits (30 or 60 Minutes): Structured check-ins to refresh water and meals, scoop litter, spot-clean vivariums or cages, and provide dedicated play and cuddles. Pets I Welcome Cats: Indoor kittens, adults, and seniors. Small Mammals: Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice. Reptiles & Lizards: Leopard geckos, crested geckos, bearded dragons, and other pet lizards. Birds: Budgies, cockatiels, and other small companion birds. My home and care services are completely dog-free to prevent noise and stress. I do not take on dogs of any breed, large monitors, venomous species, or outdoor aviary setups. Practical Details & Setup Our home is a clean, smoke-free, and dog-free environment with secure windows and no free-roaming resident animals. Since I work from home, pets boarding with us or under full-day care enjoy genuine company all day long rather than being left alone between check-ins. I am pet first-aid trained, comfortable following precise habitat parameters (basking temps, humidity levels), and experienced in giving oral or topical medications. Every booking begins with a free meet-and-greet to review your care sheet and daily routine step-by-step. Because I work remotely from home full-time, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in around an office commute - it is fully integrated into my daily routine. My mornings start early with feeding, water refreshes, litter box maintenance, and checking enclosure temperatures and humidity for any boarding guests. Throughout the workday, I take regular screen breaks, which naturally turn into play sessions, brushing, or quiet lap cuddles for pets needing company. Having ADHD means I love staying actively engaged, so pets in my home or on full-day care never feel ignored or isolated in a back room. My OCD tendencies mean my days are heavily routine-driven and scheduled to the minute. I set dedicated alarms for strict feeding windows, medication times, and midday cage or vivarium spot-cleaning. Between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, I have set windows for local drop-in visits or heading over for full-day in-home sits, bringing my laptop along to keep pets company while staying fully available. Evenings are dedicated to second feedings, winding - down play, final litter scoops, habitat misting, and sending daily photo and video updates to owners before night settles in. In both my home and an owner's home, my care centers on strict environmental control, hygiene, and low-stress companionship. In My Home (Day Care & Boarding) Dedicated, Quiet Territory: Boarding cats stay in a dedicated, secure room separate from common household foot traffic, set up with their own scratching posts, high perches, cozy beds, and clean litter boxes. Cages and vivariums are placed in calm, climate-controlled rooms away from direct drafts, cold spots, or excess household noise. Habitat & Temperature Monitoring: For reptiles, I check basking and cool-side temperatures with digital probes or temp guns twice daily, misting to match target humidity levels. Small mammal cages are checked for secure latches, draft exposure, and clean water bottles. Hygiene & Sanitation: Litter boxes are scooped twice a day and wiped down as needed. Enclosures are spot-cleaned daily for uneaten food or soiled bedding. Water bowls and bottles are washed and refilled with fresh water every morning. Continuous Daytime Company: Because I work from home, pets are never left alone in a back room for hours. I provide steady background human presence, regular lap cuddles, laser or wand toy sessions, and gentle brushing according to what the animal enjoys. In Your Home (Full-Day Sits & Drop-Ins) Zero Disruption to Routine: I follow your home setup exactly as laid out during our meet-and-greet, maintaining exact feeding spots, food portions, and medication timings. Full-Day In-Home Presence: During full-day sits, I set up my remote workstation in your living area, providing calm, all-day companionship. This prevents separation anxiety, keeps senior pets comfortable, and ensures any medical or bathroom needs are handled instantly. Cleanliness & Household Respect: Drop-in visits and day sits always conclude with freshly scooped litter boxes, washed food bowls, wiped prep areas, and swept litter scatter. For lizards and caged pets, I ensure heat lamps and thermostats are running correctly, misting is completed, and lights are turned on or off based on your day/night timer schedule. Updates & Security: Every visit ends with a detailed update, photos, and a secure lock-up check of all doors, windows, and enclosure latches before I leave.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse with a passion for providing the best care to all pets. I had my dog for almost 13 years and prior to that, we would dog sit for family friends going away. I have recently adopted an older rescue cat on lifelong medication. With my profession I am comfortable with caring for all kinds of pets including reptiles and rodents. I also have experience medicating a myriad of species so would be happy to assist with this if your pet(s) require anything throughout the day. Growing up I've volunteered and worked at a number of different kennels and catteries local to me and I have since been volunteering at a cat sanctuary for almost three years and love spending my free time with animals. I am a very active person with my favourite hobbies being walking and going to the gym so you can rest assured I would meet your pets exercise and enrichment needs to keep them happy and settled in your absence.
My services include home boarding with your pets, walking, bathing, medicating, house visits and spending quality time with your pets in your absence. I’m currently working part time so my mornings and evenings are typically free on the days I work and I have the whole day free on my days off to spend with your fur-babies I’m comfortable keeping your pets as close to their typical routine as possible to keep them stress-free. I can walk and medicate at the same times of day and can regularly update you with pictures for piece of mind

About: I'm currently available to care and spend time with your cats in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. Also available on the Weekdays and Weekends. When I care for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a comfortable environment. To ensure a seamless experience, I always begin with a pre-visit consultation alongside the owner. This allows me to meet the cat in their own comfort zone and establish exactly what they need—from precise feeding schedules and medication routines to understanding their favorite hiding spots and play preferences. Building on this foundation of trust, I commit to clear, consistent communication throughout my stay, using the owner's channel of choice—whether that’s daily text updates, photo check-ins, or email reports. By combining a highly personalized routine with reliable updates, I keep the cat safe and stress-free in their familiar surroundings while giving the owner complete peace of mind.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Fylde

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fylde on Rover is £12 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £17 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 903 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Fylde. About 93% of Fylde 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.

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.
