“Christopher looked after our 2 cats for a few days and we would definitely recommend. He was always prompt and we felt as ease that our cats were taken care of, even though one in particular can be quite nervous. Thank you!”
“Fay was an excellent Mary Poppins for our two cats. We were always excited to receive our check in information updates and pictures of them eating and playing. It was great to see how they quickly trusted her and enjoyed her visits. She was also kind enough to water some of our more needy plants. Full service! Thanks Fay”
About: I grew up 2 dogs since the age of 10 and have loved them ever since. They are my pride and joy. I slept with them, walked them, trained them and basically did everything with them my whole life. Almost all of my family have owned dogs their whole lives and so have spent most of my life caring for them. I have done dog sitting on numerous occasions for family and friends and am very confident I will provide the best care possible for your pets! Also a big cat lover, have looked after cats and kittens as young as 8 weeks (english blue’s are a fave of mine) I’m currently looking for work and so have lots of free time to spend with your pets! I am free almost anytime any day. I live in a flat with no garden access so boarding at the requesters home would be preferred. Will feed, walk and spend time with your pets however needed. Please make sure you inform of any regular routines your pets have so I can make them feel as at home as possible whilst you are away
About: I have had 6 cats, 2 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 2 hamsters and 4 chickens of my own who I have looked after with the upmost care. I have a lot of experience in caring for family friends pets while they have been away on holiday or if they just need me to pop in for a feed and a walk. One of my dogs was a high energy big dog, he had severe separation anxiety so I have experience in dogs with specific needs, I have full understanding of pets who need a little extra love and attention and I have the patience to provide that for them. I understand it can be an anxious time to leave them alone while you leave the house and my family used Rover sitters/walkers for our anxious dog so I would love to give back and provide that same help that I received for you. All of my pets I have rescued from fairly young and nurtured them until their old age, so I know full well that when animals get older they will need extra help or attention to help them go about their days. I have so much love for animals and I would be honoured to care for your pet and ease your mind while you're at work or away. I am currently freelance so I have all the time in the world to provide the most care and attention for your pet. I unfortunately am unable to board animals at my home as I have a young kitten but I drive and will visit you at your home if that suits your schedule. While I can't host your pets at my home I have full awareness of what needs to be in place to keep your pet safe. I would like to get to know you and your systems for your animal and I will adapt my work accordingly

“Theo was wonderful. This was my second time booking with him and hopefully won't be the last. He is so caring and he keeps me well informed about my boy when I'm away from home which is such a comfort as I do worry. Thank you again Theo and for all that you do.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love being active with them. I have always taken care of my doggies. I have experience with puppies as well as the elderly dogs, I have done dog sitting on this app a couple of years ago! Your pet will never be left along for to long, but would be ideal if they can be left for a couple hours, they can have free range of the flat unless you prefer them to be in a crate. They will be walked multiple times a day if requested. We are available for multiple walks a day if required, pets can have freedom in the flat and will always be fed on time. Your pet will never be alone for to long.
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary Medicine student at the University of Surrey, having just completed my third year. I have experience handling a wide range of animals and has a very cute and happy Shiba Inu as my boss at home (the most stubborn breed!). Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I have placements as 4week blocks during summer, in between I will have a whole week off, will be able to accommodate your needs no matter night pet sitting or dog walking, I will be able to do so as long as it does not clash with placement weeks I mainly provide care in your home, where pets are often most comfortable and able to stick to their usual routine. Boarding at my home in Guildford may also be available on a case-by-case basis. As a veterinary student with 3 years of professional training, I am experienced in handling a wide range of animals and can confidently administer medications, use crates when pets are already crate-trained, and monitor for any signs of illness or discomfort. I will always keep you updated and ensure your pet receives safe, loving, and reliable care.
“Liv was brilliant with our six month puppy, Freyja - she sent me lovely photos during her drop in visit, responded quickly to messages and made sure Freyja got fresh air, food and fun! Thank you Liv ☺️☺️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 15 years and absolutely love being around dogs! I have experience with older dogs, particularly with arthritis and am more than comfortable with their needs. I work from home full time which gives me plenty of opportunity to be around your pet. I’m also an outdoorsy person so very happy to be taking your pet for walks as often as they require them. I have a fenced garden and patio doors leading straight outside for your pet to play outside as much as they like. I live in a large house with room for your pet to have their own space and feel at home.
About: Hello everyone ! I’m a third year vet student, studying Veterinary Medicine at Surrey . I have so much passion and love for animals, which is why pet sitting is an ideal part-time job for me whilst being at uni! Not only would I give your pet huge amounts of love and cuddles, but their health and wellbeing is my absolute priority whilst you’re away☺️ I can work around my uni schedule to ensure your pet isn’t left for long periods of time. I spend most days studying so having some lovely company definitely helps with the motivation 🥰 I can’t have any animals at my house (due to a unfriendly rescue dog) so I would be caring for your pet in their home. I always treat other peoples homes exactly like my own (but keeping them tidier than my bedroom !), cleaning the areas of the house I have used before I leave so it will be the same as when you left. I will follow your pets requirements for their diet/ toys they have/ treats etc when I’m looking after them.
“As usual totally reliable and great company for my aging basset hound who needed settling in and reassurance Charlie is kind , punctual, sensitive to the dogs needs and I can recommend him totally I trust him in my home and am so glad that I have found him.”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and grew up with a dog of my own. My friends and neighbours have always had dogs too, and I’ve often been the one they rely on to walk, feed and look after their pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, senior dogs and those needing a bit of extra care and patience. When I worked as an au pair, the families I lived with also had pets, and I helped take care of them every day. One of them even had a cat named Poliwag — he became one of my little babies! For now, I’d love to turn my passion for animals into a second job while I wait for the right time to have a pet of my own. I work full-time from home, with offices days occasionally. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily fit pet care into my routine for walks, visits, and cuddles throughout the day. My weekends are completely free, so I have plenty of time for boarding, longer walks, or extra playtime. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their environment. Since I mostly work from home, I can keep a close eye on them and follow their routines carefully: feeding, walks, and playtime. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. Your furry friend will always be in caring hands. I also live with my friend Olivia who absolutely loves dogs, she has one of her own, so your pet will be watched over by two pairs of caring eyes, making sure they feel supported, supervised, and well-loved at all times.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most my life and my family just loves having pets around. It will be myself taking care of your pet and I can’t wait to meet them :) I work from home and so am home all day and would usually go for the walks in the morning and sometimes the afternoon too, if your pet requires 2 walks, please let me know, I have a fenced off back yard and a lot of space in the house. I can crate your dog if needed (please provide the crate), or he/she can have full roam of the house. My dog gets on very well with other dogs, he is a neutered golden retriever.
“Bonnie took such great care of my girls whilst I was away. Her daily updates reassured me that they were in good hands and I couldn’t have asked for someone better. She also took good care of my home, helping with a few odd things that needed taking care of and resolving any issues. Highly recommend using Bonnie if she is available and in your area. Big thanks Bonnie and cuddles from Kiki + Koko”
“Beth is great with our elderly blind dog, she gives her all the cuddles she wants and recognises the need to go at her pace on walks. Lovely to know she’s in such caring hands!”
“Alycia was really helpful with looking after my dog at short notice. She put my dog at ease even though it was their first time meeting and she was lovely with him which was really appreciated. I got some great pictures and update on how the visit went. Thank you!”

Molly was absolutely wonderful looking after our cat for a week. She was kind, attentive and clearly cared about making sure our cat was happy and well looked after. She kept us updated throughout the week, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a very happy and content cat! We would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Molly!
Alicia is amazing, she looked after my two cats really well while we were away. She send me updates and pictures daily (the cutest pics ever) and sat with both of them everyday. Alicia is very caring with cats, trustworthy and a lovely person. I would highly recommend!
Manuel is an excellent care giver. Upon meeting him, we found him to be very personable and likeable. He took the time to ask questions and go through Pepper's routine with us before the booking. Clearly an experienced cat owner who really cares about a pet's wellbeing. Manuel kept us thoroughly up-to-date on her status and activities. We couldn't ask for a better service and we will be booking him again in future. Thank you Manuel.
Anastasia was amazing! She looked after our cat so well. During an extremely hot weather period she really thought about how to make our cat as comfortable as possible. We have had many cat sitters and Anastasia was 2nd to none! Would 100% recommend! Thankyou so much 😻
Theo is a true professional. Before finding him, I’d contacted more than five pet sitters on Pawshake and Rover, most either never replied, disappeared halfway through the chat, or, in the worst case, one I’d booked and paid for on Rover ( high review ) simply didn’t show up for the meet-and-greet she scheduled herself. No message, no explanation. I quickly realized many sitters treat this as a casual side job, and it really shows. Contacting Theo was my last resort before sending my cats to boarding, which I knew would cause them a lot of stress. Even though he’s based in another city, he responded promptly when I reached out less than two weeks before my trip. The meet-and-greet went smoothly, and his professionalism was clear from the start. I was still a bit skeptical since this was my first time hiring a sitter after so many unreliable experiences, but Theo quickly earned my trust. He was always responsive with messages, sent video updates, and discussed what’s happening with the cats throughout my trip. One of my cats is very sensitive to change, when I tried boarding him before, he stopped eating for a week.....but with Theo’s calm and experienced handling, he started eating normally again within two days, even finishing his bowl (which is rare!). I also asked Theo to take care of my bonsai while I was away, and he did so carefully. He kept the house clean as well, which I really appreciated coming home to after my trip. All in all, I’ll definitely book Theo again in the future. If you’re on the fence, don’t risk it with part-timers, hire a real professional like Theo.
Navania is a very lovely young lady. She looked after our shy cat Katie for 3 weeks. After the first week Katie started to trust her and came out of hiding for her food strokes and play. We would not hesitate to book her for future cat visits. She did everything expected and more.and sent lots of photos. we cannot recommend her highly enough.

There are 6,570 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Guildford. About 90% of Guildford 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. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
