“I am so happy I found April. She looked after my beagle Pyppa with so much care and kindness. My dog is not easy (older and a bit anxious), but April was very patient and understanding. I felt at ease knowing Pyppa was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Excellent service from Leanne and Kane. Both were very warm and I felt reassured they would take good care of our cats. They were interested in their different personalities and and what each cat liked. Really good communication whilst we were away with daily updates with lots of photos. Would strongly recommend and would use them again”
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!
About: I have looked after family pets, dogs, cats, a parrot & rabbits for many 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. Recently I have looked after 5 cats which was an interesting experience. Luckily they all had name tags so that I knew who was who! I would 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 have taken care of animals since I was a child, I walked my friends and families dogs of all sizes. I have done hours of work experience in a vets and cared for many unwell dogs and cats, strays, and also dogsat my friends dogs. I can read body language well and can provide accurate enrichment based on their age, size and needs. If any medication, grooming or special needs are required, let me know and I can accomodate I am currently studying an extra year at sixth form, however I don’t go in everyday and I am free most evenings, weekends and some weekdays. Over holidays I am free everyday and can travel to support owners needs. I have a fenced garden and own two rabbits and a tortoise which are kept seperate from in my own home. I can crate animals if needed, I live near to two parks and have outside areas for them to pee/poo, while also having big indoor spaces for them. In an owners home I can follow any restrictions (not on beds, diet etc).
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've been around dogs as long as I can remember. I cared for my Frenchie from a puppy until a senior, as well as taking in other people's pets whilst they are away or aren't able to care for them. As a very active person, I love to go for long runs and adventures through forests or parks but am just as happy caring and hanging out with them when they need it. I have been pet sitting for years, however I began working with other people's pets as a part time job (I'm a professional dancer!) in 2022. Since then, I absolutely love it! I am a professional dancer and pet-sitting is my side job since I lost my beautiful dog of 12 years in 2022. I am quite available however I do leave the country occasionally to tour (this is always updated in my calendar in advance). My brother, who used to work in dog shelters in Bulgaria, is often available to cover me incase of ill-health, injury or unforseen circumstances. I have a fenced garden and a doggy door that gives pets free range to use the outdoor/indoors as they please. This can also be locked if necessary. I do have two cats who grew up with my dog for 5 years and got along with her very well. One of them is mainly outdoors, and the other is usually wherever people are. There are many beautiful parks in this area too that are safe for dogs and I regularly walk dogs around.
About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and a natural ability to care for them. From the age of 14 to 16, I regularly walked dogs around my neighbourhood, building experience with different breeds and temperaments. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I am confident handling larger, strong dogs as well as smaller pets. I currently have a cat, who I have successfully trained to sit for treats, showing my patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I have also volunteered at animal rescues, further developing my hands-on experience and compassionate approach. I provide a loving, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. My cat is both dog- and cat-friendly and has previously lived with a Rottweiler who is his best friend and still sees regularly, so I am happy to host pets that are comfortable around cats. I am also more than happy to care for dogs of any temperament in their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure in a familiar environment. I have a flexible and reliable schedule, as I currently work part-time while my partner is at home full-time. This means there will always be someone present to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Together, we have lots of time to play, provide companionship, and ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, your pet will never be left feeling lonely and will receive consistent, attentive care. I offer a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a large, fully fenced garden where they can play and explore securely. I live on a quiet, non-busy road, making walks calm and stress-free. I can also provide a crate if needed, whether for training, rest, or to maintain your pet’s usual routine. My home is a relaxed, pet-friendly space where your pet will feel safe, settled, and well cared for.
“I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in Sara's care. Regular updates, great communication, and I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a spotless home. You can tell they genuinely care. Would 100% recommend!”
“Tori was great and made a fuss of our cat James during her visits, while we were away on holiday. Great communication, both prior to the cat sitting, and during. Would highly recommend for all cat sitting needs.”
“Jess looked after our dogs (in our home) and done a great job in doing so. Regular water changes, lots of company and snuggles with regular picture updates. Will book again when needed, A* sitter.”
“Teodora was fantastic and I fully recommend her. She was professional at all times. She is a proper animal person and my cat took to her immediately. Teodora is dependable and I really appreciated her detailed updates and photos upon every visit and her communications and quick responses meant I was completely comfortable and assured with her looking after my cat and I will definitely use Teodora again in the future. Top rated and highly recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m a reliable and caring dog lover based locally 😊 I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to tailor walks to suit your dog’s needs—whether that’s a calm stroll, lots of play, or helping burn off energy! I have experience caring for animals and am very comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I’m also used to being around animals daily, so I’m confident picking up on their behaviour and making sure they feel safe and happy at all times. I offer: 🐕 Solo or small group walks 🏡 Drop-in visits 📸 Photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is doing ⏰ Flexible availability, including weekdays and weekends Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while they’re with me. If you have any questions or specific requests, feel free to message me—I’m always happy to help 😊 I work in a school so I have all of the half terms completely off work. When I am at work I can board on Friday and Saturday nights and walks all over the weekends I follow all guidelines that owners ask and treat any animal in my care as if they were my own. I can cater for any needs
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of cats and dogs, including tabby cats, British Shorthairs, and Sphynx cats. I have also looked after many different dog breeds and have grown up around animals, having owned Rottweilers and a Poodle, and I currently care for my Shih Tzu and two tabby cats. I am very confident handling pets of different personalities and needs, including dogs with separation anxiety. I genuinely enjoy working with animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My aim is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are in safe and loving hands at all times. I am a full-time SEN secondary teacher, however I spend my spare time (after 15:00) caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I have a strong passion for animals and really enjoy providing them with attentive, reliable care outside of my working hours. I am also available throughout all school term holidays, so if you are looking for a full-time pet sitter during these periods, please feel free to get in touch. In addition, I am open to last-minute weekend bookings where possible. With owner permission, I also love taking dogs out for enriching walks to places such as local parks or forests to ensure they are happy, stimulated, and enjoying their time while in my care. I have a fenced garden with plenty of space for pets to safely roam and enjoy themselves. I also have a female, friendly Shih Tzu named Paris, who is very sociable with other dogs and is also comfortable around cats, as she has lived alongside my two tabby cats. My cats are generally independent and often spend time outdoors in the neighbourhood or relaxing in their own space indoors, so visiting pets are able to have a calm and low-stress environment. I always ensure any pets in my care are introduced slowly and safely where needed, and I prioritise their comfort and wellbeing at all times.

We can't recommend Teodora highly enough! She took wonderful care of Moony while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout - she kept us updated and sent loads of adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Moony had a great time, especially playing with Teodora's little one. When we got back, Moony was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We could tell our pet had been in caring, attentive hands the whole time. Thank you, Teodora - we'll definitely be booking you again!
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.
Louise was fast to respond to messages and arrived every day as promised, even going as far as to notice my bin day and put the cat poo bags out accordingly (which wasn't something we'd asked her to do!). She kept me up to date with goings on at the house while we were away and seemed to bond well with my two cats during her meet & greet visit. I guess I would have preferred that she spent a bit longer at the house each day, but their needs were very low maintenance so there wasn't much to do after cat litter cleaned. I would happily use Louise again if I needed someone to look after my cats and would recommend her.
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 ⭐️
This is the third time we’ve used Georgina to look after our cat and as usual Georgina was amazing in popping in everyday, keeping us updated and sending us lots of pictures. We came back home after ten days to a very happy kitty. Thank you Georgina, Hugo misses you already and can’t wait for the next visit.
I booked Adina last minute to take care of my cat Archie on a bank holiday weekend when my other cat sitter cancelled last weekend. Adina was able to squeeze me in. Adina took very good care of Archie, and I was reassured by her prompt communication and care that Archie was well taken care of over the weekend. Archie had just been recently rehomed to me and this was the first time that I had left him overnight and with a sitter, so I was initially nervous but that soon melted away with the photos and videos Adina sent me. I would recommend Adina to anyone.
This was our first experience with a cat sitter, and we are very pleased with Anna and Rover. Anna was thoughtful, friendly, and went out of her way to accommodate my requests. We just got back home to well fed and taken care of cats, who were missing us, for sure, but that was to be expected, since we were gone for 2 weeks. I love the fact that I got to see pictures and videos of the cats everyday, and I would have a brief chat with Anna, everyday, where she would update me about all three of my cats. It's been a happy experience. We will be looking forward to booking Anna and Rover again. Thank you!
Katie did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Jessica Fletcher. She sent me updates every day and it was clear that Jess was happy to see her and took an instant liking to her. I came home to a happy cat, and a tidy house. Katie was super reliable, trustworthy and gave me absolute peace of mind whilst I was away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and I will be booking her again without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Havering on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of June 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 343 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Havering. About 84% 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. 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.
