About: I work a full time 9-5 job so can work around this time! ❤️ available for morning and evening visits. I can drive over (or walk if parking not easy). I will listen to your individual cat’s needs! All cats have different personalities so I will never force a shy cat to interact and know some will want a bit more attention and cuddles 🥰 I understand some cats like to play outside and some are indoor only cats 🖤
“Kia was amazing with our very fussy cat. It was such a relief to know he was well cared for and content while we were away. Kia was also very communicative, flexible and was very respectful of our home. I would highly recommend Kia!!!”
“This is the 4th time Sophie has looked after my 3 cats. They are always very relaxed and happy being looked after by her, and they are very picky with people! Sophie sends regular updates while we are away so we can relax happy in the knowledge that all the cats are happy and content. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sophie to anyone. ”

I work 8:30-4:30 Monday till Friday so I am available on the weekends and after work to come and cuddle your pets.

About: I have had dogs throughout my life and have cared for several rescue dogs, from tiny breeds to large dogs. I have also spent significant time in India caring for street dogs, including helping injured dogs and vulnerable puppies. I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities, needs and backgrounds, and genuinely love giving them the patience, attention and affection they deserve. I’m currently studying with a flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and times. I can be flexible around your pet’s routine and am happy to accommodate different care needs and schedules. I believe pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar surroundings. I’m unable to offer boarding in my home, but I absolutely love spending time with animals in theirs. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, play and companionship while respecting their routines, personality and individual needs. My priority is that they feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with Border Terriers and currently have one of my own, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. From an early age, I’ve regularly looked after the dogs of family, friends and neighbours, giving me plenty of experience with different personalities, needs and behaviours. I’m confident in recognising when a dog needs space, reassurance or extra attention, and I always take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable. I genuinely love animals, especially dogs, and take pride in providing calm, caring and reliable pet care. My priority is to make sure every dog I look after feels safe, happy and well cared for. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I structure my day around walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent attention and care from morning to evening. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space and pets with respect. I follow the owner’s routines for feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions, while providing companionship, exercise, and attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, keeping their home clean and secure, and providing regular updates to owners so they have peace of mind.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience looking after my mum’s and sister’s dogs while they’ve been away on holiday. I’ve cared for them in my own home, making sure they stick to their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Looking after pets has taught me how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. My availability may vary slightly depending on my work shifts, but I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care whenever possible. Feel free to get in touch with your dates, and I’ll always do my best to help. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, friendly, and welcoming home where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I don’t have any other pets, so your pet will have my full attention and won’t need to adjust to other animals in the home. Pets are welcome on the furniture if that is part of their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual habits and routines, including feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. I work part time, which means I am home a lot and can provide plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a roommate who is usually home when I am not, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am also happy to stay in your home if that is what makes your pet feel most comfortable. I understand that every pet is different and will always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care.

Morena was amazing in the time we were away. She went out of her way to care for our little guy, sent pictures and kept our peace of mind. We couldn’t be more thrilled with her services and would recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and nurturing sitter. We will definitely be using her again.
Sophie was incredible to say the least. We have two elderly cats and one with a condition that requires us to feed him 4x a day (!!!). So we signed up for the 2x a day visits and worked out how to make sure the cats had a consistent wet food diet along with a bit of dry food and snacks. And then to learn how to manage our smart litter box was something she had to do along with a more "analog" box in another part of the house for the other cat. Sophie is detailed-oriented, professional and personable and the cats took to her almost immediately. Much thanks for the photos and videos. Will be booking again 110%
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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Harrogate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Harrogate on Rover is £13 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £20 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 731 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Harrogate. About 94% 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 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.
