“Hollie regularly looks after our fizzy Vizsla. Inka is always super happy to see her, because she get lots of love and cuddles, and walks. Inka is always content and sleepy when we get home, our two cats also love it when Hollie comes to stay!”
About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I have trained for years doing what I love, caring for animals. I have experience pet sitting for work colleagues, friends and neighbours, attending to a variety of needs and requirements. This includes strict medication schedules, different daily walking requirements, and much more. I have experience caring for animals great and small, so no matter your pet, I can assure you they will be in great hands with me. I am looking forward to getting to know and caring for you fur babies! As a full time worker, I am available Monday evenings (after 7pm) Tuesdays all day, Thursday evenings (after 6pm) and Weekends. I will occasionally be required to work a Saturday shift which I will put up on my availability calendar. My work schedule can sometimes change so I will keep my availability calendar up to date. If unsure just message and I will happily do what I can to accommodate you! I am happy to travel to your home within 40 mins drive for house sitting, and 30 mins for a drop in/walk. but do not take pets into my own home due to having my own pets that like their own space.
“Fantastic, absolute lifesaver helped me out at very short notice. Hounds loved her and I ever got a cute video which was massively reassuring having never left them with anyone but granddad before”
“Steve and Sandra were really great and our 6 year old springer Jimmy took an instant shine to them. It was great that he could also socialise with another dog, Tommy, on the walk. This service was invaluable as I needed to go to London with work at short notice and it was great peace of mind to know that Jimmy was well looked after.”
“Matthew was great and took amazing care of my new puppy when I had to work. Gave great updates and playtime to the little man. Will definitely use him again and highly recommend his services!”
About: Pets have been in my family my whole life. This included Cats and Dogs, and my first pocket money was made walking my neighbours dogs as well as my own. I look after my family’s cat regularly as well as my partners cockapoo who loves performing tricks for treats! I welcome animals of all shapes and sizes. My partner and I work full-time but have the opportunity to look after animals due to our hybrid work set up. Meaning we are at home for 2 days during the week as well as weekends. We will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention it deserves. We are in a pet friendly apartment complex with secure balconies and a communal garden. There are countless parks, nature reserves and the natural beauty of the Surrey hills nearby. We also both drive and are well equipped with dog harnesses for safety.
About: My 5 year old daughter and I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats! We'd love to have a pet of our own one day, but because we travel regularly to visit family abroad, we feel it's only fair to wait until we can offer a permanent pet the stability it deserves. In the meantime, pet sitting is the perfect solution for us. I work part-time and partly from home, which means I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime and care throughout the day. We both genuinely enjoy having furry friends around the house, and your pet will be treated as part of the family while they're with us. We have experience caring for dogs and have previously had our own dog, so we understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and plenty of affection. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime and making sure pets feel settled and secure in a new environment. Whether it's cuddles on the sofa, walks, games in the garden or simply keeping your pet company, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. 🐾❤️ We know how important pets are to their families, and we'll care for yours as if they were our own. Because I work part-time and mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I build regular walks, playtime, and feeding into our daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day breaks, or evening cuddle time, caring for pets fits naturally into our rhythm. In our home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll get plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. We keep their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to — including walk times, feeding, and any special needs or preferences. We do our best to make them feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy from the moment they arrive.
“Rosie was fantastic with my tortoise Edith, always sent me photo updates and little messages letting me know how she was getting on for each visit. Over all very reliable and had great communication which really put me at ease, will definitely be booking with Rosie again in the future!”

I have grown up with dogs , I love being around them. I'm own 2 beautiful dogs Max and Amber. Taking care about your dog is my 24/7 job I offer group walks, doggie day care and home boarding.

“Emily has been an amazing drop in visitor for my puppy Bucky. He loves her and enjoys spending time playing with her. She is so reliable and speedy to reply to bookings. Has a lovely, positive and friendly demeanor and is very trustworthy. Thank you Emily!”
“Eleanor looked after my two cats for the first time this week and they liked her immediately. She looked after them really well, spent time with them and kept me regularly updated with info and photos / videos. ”
“Emma was amazing. Really kind and communicative. No problems at all and our cat seemed very happy. The photos we were sent really brightened up our trip and made us feel really comfortable with the whole process! Will 100% trust Emma again.”
About: I’ve accompanied a big dog walking group multiple times and I have house/cat sat a couple times previously for 2-3 days at a time. I have grown up around dogs and currently have 2 family dogs I love to pieces and I am often trusted with their care. Despite having less experience with cats, I adore them and I’m familiar with their needs to provide good quality care :) I’m currently a student so I have some free time on my hands outside of classes. This means I’ll be available to keep your pets company on weekends, Wednesdays and Friday evenings. I ensure any opening is closed/ locked up before letting my dogs roam or leaving the house. My mum is big on keeping things clean so I also make sure dirty paws stay away from carpets if possible. Along with that comes lots of snuggles and play time!
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all personalities. I volunteered for 2 months with Soi Dog Foundation, where I spent my days walking, caring for, and giving attention to lots of different dogs, including some nervous kennel dogs who needed extra patience and love. In my free time, I also look after my auntie’s cheeky Border Terrier, so I’m very used to energetic walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel happy, safe, and spoiled while their owners are away 🐾💕 I choose my own shifts, so I’m usually available with just a few days’ notice! I also only work 3 days a week, which means I’ll have plenty of time during the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and giving your cute little ones all the attention they deserve 🫶🐾 For your pet’s comfort and safety, I currently offer walks and house visits in your home rather than boarding. I’ll make sure your pets feel happy, cared for, and comfortable in their familiar environment 🫶
About: Licensed and practising Veterinarian. I have been taking care of my own pets for many years (cats, dog, and birds). I have a bachelors degree in animal and poultry sciences from Virginia Tech. Graduated from the Royal Veterinary College. I enjoy walking dogs and am looking to be a bit more active and get out of the house more after being cooped up inside for months. I also love cats as they hold a special place in my heart, so if you would like me to watch/ play with your cat I would be more than excited to do so. Currently, I have no dogs or cats of my own living with me. Pet care is my day to day job. I've been fortunate enough to make saving fur baby lives a career and enjoy solving the problems I am faced with daily I have ample space for the animals to lounge around in my flat. They are allowed on furniture and on beds but should you wish them to be crated they can be as well provided you supply a crate.

Very professional and friendly, she consistently sent updates and photos, as well as when food ran out and an issue occurred with delivery on my kibble subscription, she went and picked up extra food. Above and beyond care for my pet, I will definitely be hiring her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harrogate on Rover is £11.5 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 621 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Harrogate. About 92% of Harrogate 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.
