“Both our cats warmed really quickly to Sam and were really happy when we came home! It’s made us feel a lot more confident to go away and leave them in her care again. Thank you! ”
“Koah looked after our three cats; Nelson, Florence and Winston whilst we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them and give them a fuss. She did a fantastic job of making sure they were fed and didn't feel like they had been abandoned. Koah kindly sent videos and pictures so we didn't miss them too much. She also went above and beyond by either releasing or disposing of the wildlife that was bought in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.”
“I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful person who will care for my puppy like her own. Shaunna is very caring and professional. I would highly recommend her as I know my puppy would too. Thank you ❤️”

Great updates and pictures and even went above and beyond by taking in numerous deliveries and putting bins in and out while we were away. Thank you so much. Excellent service and will def use again 😊.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with chickens horses dogs and cats. I currently have a tabby cat called Milo and a Cockapoo called Buddy, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels and routines. I’m friendly, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s long walks, company during the day or keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I have completed DBS checks as part of previous employment. I understand the importance of caring for both pets and owners’ homes responsibly, and I always aim to provide a safe, dependable and friendly service. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine as I have both a dog and a cat myself. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime and giving pets attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy being outdoors and active, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy rather than a chore. I’m flexible during the week and happy to work around pets’ usual routines to help them feel comfortable and settled. I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality and any special requirements they may have. In a pet owner’s home, I would respect their space, follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for reassurance too. Safety, patience and kindness are always my priority.🐾
About: I have always had cats or dogs in the household. It doesn’t feel like home without them. I have recently moved and am waiting for a good time before getting another pet. I am missing being around cats and dogs and would love to help out other people who need some support. I have always looked after family/friends animals. I have always been surrounded by animals, and they’ve been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past year, I’ve also had the chance to look after other people’s pets, which has been such a rewarding experience. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply spending time with them, I truly love caring for animals and making sure they feel happy and loved. I have plenty of time to spend with your little once. I can do most week days after 10. And am available some weekends after 10. I will care for every animal with love, patience, and attention, always making their safety my top priority. I create a warm and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed, happy, and well looked after. Building trust is just as important, I take the time to get to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. My goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and loving space where every pet feels at home.
“Danielle was amazing! She was very attentive to detail when taking care of my sweet girl Lola. If she wasn’t sure about something would always send a message to check to ensure Lola was getting what she needed. Very responsible!”
About: I have been looking after pretty kitties for 4 years! You will definitely receive 100s of photos of your cats all of the time :) I am currently at university looking to make some extra money to cover my costs! If it is just checking in and feeding I would prefer when it is light :) I have my own cat so I understand pets deserve space and time to settle into meeting new people! My cat is very timid so I will try my best not to overwhelm as I understand how they feel! Of course if your pet is very friendly I am more than happy to shower your furry friend in love! I can clean litter trays, wash up pet dishes and provide pill medication if needed.
About: I'm a self employed healer and animal lover with over eleven years of pet sitting with Trusted Housesitters, including 44 five star reviews. I'm mainly based in the Woodbridge, Suffolk area but also spend time in North Norfolk and Hastings regularly so happy to offer my services there. I adore taking care of people's pets and appreciate how sensitive some animals can be. I offer a service that is empathic and includes energy healing as required. I always try to keep with pets routines and minimise any stress of having a new person around. I offer a professional service including excellent communication and attuned pet care with regular updates if required. My long background in social care has given me the gift of helping people feel comfortable and safe and this also extends to animals. I have worked with many rescue animals and appreciate the challenges they face, especially with other dogs in public spaces. I offer a service that includes both walks, medication, feeding and play time plus the energy healing. I'm also clean, tidy and very respectful of pets parents homes. I'm currently working part time and as a self employed therapist have flexibility on my times. I mainly offer support for morning, lunch and evening walks but I'm also available for full day pet care and weekends. When supporting dogs I follow the routine required of pet parents, often including two walks a day, feeding, and play time in the afternoon. I bond quickly with animals so I often find myself giving belly rubs! Cats being such unique creatures I support them in the way they wish, making sure they are fed and watered, nurtured and ensure outdoor access is provided if no cat flap is available. I have also supported with the care of tortoises, rabbits, fish and chicken - changing out the hay regularly and collecting eggs. I'm also available for horses and happy to change hay for them also.
About: Hello! I'm Frankie and I live in St Leonards, just a short walk from the beach. I'm a mum of two teenagers who are now busy living their own lives, which means my home is a little quieter these days. I work from home as a Brand Project Manager for St John Ambulance, and I'd love some canine company during the week. Dogs have always been part of my life. Growing up we had family dogs, and as an adult I've owned a Labrador and spent plenty of time around Bearded Collies, Staffies and Jack Russells. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I live in a garden flat with an enclosed garden, and because I mostly work from home I can easily fit in two or three walks a day. I'm also looking for an excuse to spend more time outdoors, so your dog will definitely not be short of exercise, attention or affection. My home is very much a dog friendly home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa for cuddles and company while I work or watch TV in the evenings. I'll happily follow any routines, feeding schedules or house rules that help your dog feel comfortable and settled. I usually travel to London one day a week for work, but this is flexible and can be arranged around bookings if needed. I'm not quite ready to commit to having a dog of my own again, but I miss having dogs around enormously. Looking after other people's dogs feels like the perfect solution. If you're looking for someone reliable, experienced and genuinely delighted to spend time with your dog, I'd love to hear from you ❤️ I work from home most of the week as a Brand and Creative Manager for St John Ambulance, so I'm around for company, feeding, toilet breaks and walks throughout the day. I usually travel into London one day a week, but this is flexible and can be planned around bookings where needed. Outside of that, I have plenty of time for pets and can comfortably fit in two or three walks a day for dogs. My own children are teenagers and rarely at home now, so I have the time, space and energy to give visiting pets lots of attention and companionship. I live in a ground floor garden flat in St Leonards with a secure enclosed garden and plenty of nearby walking routes, including the seafront. Pets are welcome as part of the household and will be treated as members of the family rather than left on their own all day. I've lived with dogs for most of my life, including Labradors, Staffies, Bearded Collies and Jack Russells, and I'm comfortable following individual routines, feeding schedules and care instructions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing, sofa cuddles or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, settled and cared for while you're away. As a manager at St John Ambulance, reliability, responsibility and trust are a big part of my day to day life.
“Ben was brilliant with Mushu and a massive help to me at short notice! Ben had brilliant communication and ensured I was kept up to date. I would recommend Ben to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog. Thank you!”
About: My family have had dogs since before I was born, and growing up I have always taken on responsibilities looking after them! Whether that be walking, feeding, playing, or cuddling, I am ready and willing. I am confident with dogs of all ages and sizes, and ready to be their companion when you aren't able. I am currently a University student who is back for the summer. Because of this, I am free most days, at any point, and am able to stay in the pet owners home as needed. I will communicate with the pet owner as to what a normal routine looks like for the dog or cat and try to emulate this as much as possible to keep the pet comfortable. I need to know details such as how the pet is around other dogs and animals, what kind of walks do they go on. The top priority is the dog, and that they remain happy and healthy which is why I would prefer to meet the dog and owner beforehand, just to ensure that everyone goes into the service ready and comfortable.
“I found Amy through this app as I am new to the area and needed a one off check in, she was great with my large GSD, she communicated well, kept me updated and put me at ease leaving my beloved pup for a day out. I would definitely use her again.”
“Ellie was amazing and took such good care of our two cats! We got nice photos every day and updates throughout. When we came back both cats were happy and content and we couldn't have asked for a better cat-sitter.”
“This was our first time leaving our cats alone while going away on holiday, and Kas has been amazing and accommodating of our cats needs, reassuring us that they were happy and well looked after, with plenty of photos. Came back home to well fed, unbothered and happy cats!”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and care levels, from playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra attention. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise, or bedtime rituals, to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m also experienced in administering medications, including oral and topical treatments, and can handle special care instructions for pets with medical needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, laid-back, or somewhere in between, I’m dedicated to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to their unique needs. After leaving my corporate job to focus on what I love, I’m now fully available and flexible to fit your schedule for meetups, pickups/drop-offs, and your pet’s routine. Whether your pet thrives on outdoor adventures like long walks and park visits or prefers cozy indoor companionship, I’m here to provide the care and attention they need. I tailor every interaction to your pet’s comfort and personality, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you’re away! You know your pet best, so we’ll chat during the meet & greet about your pet’s specific quirks and needs! When caring for your pet, I prioritise safety and trust-building, taking extra care to get to know their personality and recall. If your pet typically goes off-lead, I can gradually introduce off-lead activities in secure environments once your pet and I have established a strong bond.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Hastings
Sam very kindly came over to meet the cats ahead of the booking. This was much appreciated as I was able to see how the all reacted to each other. Whilst we were away, Sam shared daily photos and updates and asked for clarification when instructions were unclear, which I really liked. Thank you!
Koah looked after our three cats; Nelson, Florence and Winston whilst we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them and give them a fuss. She did a fantastic job of making sure they were fed and didn't feel like they had been abandoned. Koah kindly sent videos and pictures so we didn't miss them too much. She also went above and beyond by either releasing or disposing of the wildlife that was bought in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.
Eleanor was brilliant - we had only just moved back to Hastings, and were promptly off on a trip across the other side of the world, so were a little worried about our two furry friends. We needn’t have been - Eleanor checked in every day with feeding and picture updates, and she clearly bonded with our two cats. Would highly recommend!
Shauna came to visit my boys while I was away for the day. She gave me a full detailed update with some gorgeous photos, fed them, cleaned their litter tray and made sure they had plenty of playtime. The whole experience was completely stress free and I felt totally reassured that my boys were in good hands.
Anna took care of my wild, timid, just doesn't want to be in the vicinity of humans cat whilst I was away for 10 days. She totally understood the assignment, just making sure he was fed, watered, clean and alive for me during this time - important as forcing contact will set back progress on gaining trust. Happy, will be booking with Anna again in future 😀

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hastings on Rover is £14.38 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 672 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Hastings. About 91% of Hastings 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.
