About: I lived all my life around animals , especially dogs and cats and would be lovely to have some pet company in our house . We are a frendly quiet family Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a sweet and energetic 3-year-old daughter, which means I’m home full-time and able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We absolutely love animals, and your pet will be treated like part of our family while they’re here. My fiancé, Gabriel, works full time, and when he’s home we enjoy going for walks or visiting the park for about 30 minutes to an hour (depending on the weather). Daily outdoor time is already part of our routine, so it’s easy for us to fit in regular walks and playtime for your pet. Spacious house with plenty of room for pets to explore and relax Lovely fenced garden — perfect for safe outdoor play, sunbathing, or potty breaks Pets are welcome on the couch and can get comfortable wherever they feel happiest Constant supervision, especially with pets that need extra attention A calm, family-style environment with lots of interaction 🧸 Toys & Supplies I don’t provide specific dog or cat toys or food, so please bring anything your pet needs or loves. However — fun bonus — pets often enjoy playing with some of our old baby toys (safe, soft, and supervised). They usually get quite entertained!
“Was first time leaving Pascal, April has kept us updated with photos as well. Pascal has been well looked after would definitely use April again many thanks for looking after our kitty x x”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. It was their first time with this sitter, and they absolutely loved her — and so did I. She was gentle, patient, and instantly made them feel safe and relaxed. I came home to calm, happy cats, and that tells me everything. I highly recommend Samantha and will definitely book again.”
“Terisa looked after 2 of our dogs and they could not have been more cared for. Terisa is absolutely amazing with animals and did exactly as we asked of her. She is also very reliable and respectful and great at getting back to you quickly. Will definitely be using Terisa’s services again and can highly recommend her.”
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
About: I have 3 years of experience dog walking and caring for a variety of dogs. I also have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, attention and reliable care. I currently work in a veterinary practice and have completed my Level 2 Dog Grooming qualification, giving me additional knowledge of animal handling, behaviour and general wellbeing. I’m confident caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs, and always treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets around my work and personal commitments. I’m flexible with my availability and can provide walks, visits and boarding depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to discuss specific days and times in advance. I will only be offering pet sitting in the owner’s home, rather than boarding pets in my own home. I will follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Friendly and reliable dog walks while you’re at work or away, giving your dog exercise, fresh air and plenty of attention. Also, a quick home visit to let your dog out, provide food and water, and give them some company while you’re away. As a psychology student, I have a flexible routine outside of my university hours and I am free all summer. I can reliably fit cat care into my daily schedule and make sure your cat gets attention, playtime, and proper care. I am happy to visit at least twice daily to handle feeding, fresh water, litter care, and spend time with your cat to keep them comfortable and settled. ▼ Follow feeding schedule and instructions. ▼ Fresh water, food, and clean litter each visit. ▼ Adapt to your cat’s personality (play or space). ▼ Keep your home secure and tidy. ▼ Send regular updates during/after visits.
About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals including horses, cats, dogs and rabbits. I have been an insured and dbs checked dog walker / sitter and cat sitter for nearly 2 years now working for a bigger company, with them I have also recieved first aid training and basic animal body language training. I've previously cared for the Queens horses 👑 , worked at a doggy day care centre and helped a friend with their dog walking business. I'm also a proud pet mum to 5 lovely furbabies. I have a pony called Mouse, a rescue pup called Elsa and three cheeky rescue cats. My dog Elsa didn't have the best start in life and is reactive and can be aggressive towards other dogs, due to this I have a lot of experience working with reactivity, aggression and muzzle training and am confident in my abilities. I'm also confident in recall training and basic commands. I currently work part time for a pet care service provider and have some spare time to provide services for more clients outside of my usual working hours. I won't be pet sitting In my own home due to lack of space and my own pets not being compatible with that. However I'm more than happy to sit in for a hour or two with pets in your own home, clean up after them, play with them or just simply keep them company.
About: Hi, I am very passionate, lifelong animal lover since childhood. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful, so my top priority is keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar routines. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member weekdays and weekends. I can offer services of dog walking, drop-in visit, boarding. Your furry family member can access to the fenced garden and inside the house which is kept clean and tidy all the time, also I have a puppy who's energy level is high and very playful with dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, from small breeds to much larger dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities and energy levels. I’m also very used to being around cats and understand that every pet has their own individual needs and routine. I’m a caring, responsible and patient person who genuinely loves animals and will make sure your pet feels happy, safe and well looked after. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles and companionship while you’re away. I work remotely 3 days a week (Mon-Fri), which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I’ll always be respectful, responsible and attentive. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if required and your pet’s usual routine.
About: I have loved animals and especially cats since i was around 5-6 years old. I would spend my pocket money on cat food for the strays i had taken in. I have been a cat parent for the last 30 years. After taking my current fur baby in from the streets i have developed an even deeper understanding of cats through trials and errors. I have now learnt to be even more patient and understand how difficult it is to find a really good cat sitter you can use regularly. Due to a cats nature and especially a nervous one like mine a routine and things being done the same way their owner/fur parent would do them is of huge importance for their health and wellbeing. This is why i have decided to sign myself up in the hope i can be of service to like minded fur parents and save their fur babies from any undue stress.
About: We’ve recently moved to the area but don't have pets with us yet and miss their company! In our family home, we have three rescue cats (one three-legged) and two rescue rabbits. Between us we have previously owned dogs of various breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and hamsters We have a genuine love of animals and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being a calm presence, we always treat pets as part of the family. With over 15 years’ experience, we regularly pet sit for family and through TrustedHousesitters, looking after cats and dogs in their owners’ homes (see reviews in photos). We’re confident handling nervous rescues and pets with health issues, experienced in administering medication, and passionate about giving animals a safe, trusted, and loving environment. Please drop us a message if you have any questions. Pet sitting fits perfectly with my flexible remote work, allowing me to care for pets during days, long weekends, or quick visits around my schedule. I prioritise safety, trust, comfort, wellbeing, and happiness. Prefer caring for pets in their owner’s home due to space, but happy to adapt if needed.
About: I have looked after family pets - dogs, cats, horses, a parrot & a rabbit for over 30 years but would love to help others as well. I love walking and am happy to take dogs for a long walk. I love cats as well, I would be happy to keep them company for a while, administer medication & feed them. I would also be happy to stay overnight if necessary. I have recently retired from my teaching job (food technology) so I'm now available day & night to care for your pets or to walk your dogs. I have a very safe bungalow, the garden is fenced securely in which I can look after your dogs and plenty of room inside if the weather is bad.
About: I grew up around cats, I currently have two of my own, with all care dependant on me. I also walk dogs and pet sit during my free time. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be daunting which is why I always treat any animal under my care as my own. I strive to do my best in caring for your pet while you’re away. I aim to be dependable and someone you can trust to leave your pet in their hands. So don’t hesitate to get in touch:) I am currently in university so pet care is a very ideal option for me, as I still have a lot of availability. I love animals so this is a perfect opportunity. I work part time but I’d love to fit in animal care around my schedule. We can put any safety steps that you would like me to do, into place, whether that involves using crates, keeping windows/doors closed, etc… if your pet is wary of strangers, I’m more than willing to take the time to build trust with them.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Havering
It’s never easy leaving g your pets with a stranger but Amy was reassuring from the moment we met her. She clearly is a natural with cats as our two girls are both cautious with strangers but in the few days she was caring for them she had made friends with them both. She followed all instructions and spent plenty of time with the cats themselves. We received regular updates and photos which was lovely to know how they were doing while we were away. Amy would certainly be my first choice to look after our cats when looking to go away again.
Cheuk Lee was very attentive to Gandalf, checking daily if he was using the litter as he should. He had blood in his urine once and she kept investigating it everyday! That made me stay at ease as I knew he was in good hands. Communication was spot on too with plenty of pictures. Someone you can trust and I recommend.
We had a great experience with Zahra. She took excellent care of Momo, followed all her routines, and sent regular updates with pictures that gave us real peace of mind. Momo quickly got used to her, which says a lot as she's usually a little shy at first. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Teodora is always great and I can recommend her having used her previously to look after my cat. She is professional and reliable and very good with my cat amd I know I can be assured that my cat is in good hands when Teodora is looking after her. Thanks Teodora
Tori was an excellent cat sitter! She came by to meet my cat in advance and so I could show her around my flat/talk about my cat's routines. While I was away, I got plenty of photos from Tori after each visit. Great communication when she had questions come up during her cat sitting. I'd definitely recommend Tori!
Georgina is brilliant. Reliable and conscientious and the cats loved her. She is totally engaged in looking after her charges and goes the extra mile to provide a fantastic service. We will be using her services again and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone who needs someone to look after their 'children' whilst they are away. Thank you Georgina.
Maureen took great care of Cookie while we were away. She spent lots of time playing with her and also supervised her in the garden so she got some outdoor time. She went above and beyond in terms of Cookie’s care requirements, even helping to remove a matted fur spot on her back. She’s trustworthy and reliable - we will be booking her again!
Brooke was very reliable and looked after our two cats really well. They were given cuddles, treats and care everyday that we were away, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. We would use Brooke again, and woukd happily recommend her to other pet owners.
Courtney came and visited our cat twice a day for a fortnight. She kept us updated daily and we were confident that our cat was being looked after well. She was polite, friendly and clarified if unsure of anything. Overall communication was very good and we will definitely use her again.
Kirsty looked after my fur babies in my home fantastically, she helped find a way to best give one of my babies medication, so extra stars for that. She helped keep the place tidy and was wonderfully caring and considerate and communicated well and I felt confident that they were in good hands. Thank you so much Kirsty ⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Havering on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of September 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 8,433 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Havering. About 90% of Havering 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
