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

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.

About: I have been caring for pets personally and professionally for over 14 years. I have worked as a cat sitter, caring for cats in their own homes when their families are away, and have been fully trained as a dog walker. I am confident working with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am familiar with young, training puppies, as well as senior pets who require special medications, feeding schedules, or mobility issues. In addition to my professional experience caring for pets, I got my very own first cat, Simon, at the young age of 7. Since then, I have been 'mummy' to 2 other cats and one lovely dog, in addition to being the legal guardian of several furry nieces and nephews whom I've cared for on countless occasions. Pets give me a genuine joy unlike anything else in this world and I love spending and sharing my days with them. I am currently working on a freelance basis, which opens me up wonderfully to the world of dog walking and cat sitting. Typically, I am available anytime between the hours of 10am - 4pm, Monday to Friday. I believe in keeping a pet in their familiar surroundings whenever possible. Home is the most comfortable place for all of us and when families are away, the consistency of staying at home is important for a pet. I like to be a guest in the pets home, letting the cats take control on social time, and being quick and discreet when picking up a dog for a walk and bringing them home again.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and have owned pets myself. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of patience, routine and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience working in childcare, which has strengthened my responsibility, attentiveness and ability to provide a caring environment. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for while you are away. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide plenty of attention, playtime and companionship. I will always do my best to accommodate booking requests and keep pet owners updated with messages and photos. I live in a clean and calm one-bedroom flat in Guildford with my husband. We have access to a shared garden within our apartment complex, providing a pleasant outdoor space nearby. I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention during their stay. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise and daily routines. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable and caring environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure and well looked after.

I'll look after your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, ensuring everything is secure, clean and exactly as you left it. Communication is a big part of the service I provide.

If you're looking for a reliable, caring house sitter who will treat both your pets and your home as if they were our own, I'd love the opportunity to help. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! We're available most days and can be flexible to fit around your pet's routine.

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.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Guildford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Guildford on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of July 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 6,142 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.
