“Sue took absolutely fantastic care of my two cats for three weeks, providing photos and videos every day to reassure me that my boys were handling my long absence just fine. I arrived home to two happy, well-fed scamps. Cannot recommend her enough.”


“Jen did a wonderful job caring for my cats, Amber and Dudley, over Christmas. Amber requires several medications, and Jen handled them with complete ease and confidence. I came home to two very happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for kitties. Thank you so much, Jen”


“Tracey has been an amazing pet sitter for our 4 cheeky cats. She has gone above and beyond our expectations of what we needed and after feeling slightly nervous about leaving our home and pets in the hands of someone else, we needn’t have worried as Tracey, and her daughter who helped her, are friendly, kind, helpful and really do care about your home and animals. I cannot recommend her enough and we will certainly be using her services again for our future holidays. Thank you so much Tracey ?”

“Vicki is a wonderful cat sitter! I needed a sitter to take care of my elderly, diabetic cat, PK, and Vicki was the perfect choice! On contacting Vicki through Rover, she took time out of her day to come over and learn how to administer insulin to PK. To me this really shows how much Vicki loves and cares for animals. On the day of the booking, Vicki arrived bang on time and fed + injected PK, leaving the kitchen tidy and PK’s tummy full. Lastly, I made a request at short notice, however Vicki was more than happy to help, showing just how flexible and helpful she is. Thank you very much Vicki, PK and I look forward to seeing you again. P.S. Awesome hand tattoo!”

About: I have a genuine passion for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have my own pets, including dogs and cats, which has given me a great understanding of their different personalities, needs, and behaviours. I hold a Level 3 diploma in Animal management with Distinction* grades, as well as qualifications in pet sitting, dog walking and dog grooming. I have also worked in both a cattery and kennels, giving me valuable experience caring for a variety of cats and dogs and understanding their individual routines and requirements. I already work with pets and regularly gain practical experience, while continuing to develop my dog grooming skills. I am caring, reliable, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I currently work part-time at Pets at home, although i often work more than my contracted hours depending on the needs of my work place. Because of this, i will fit pet sitting, dog walking and drop in visits around my work schedule and my days off. I always want to make sure i can give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve, so i will be honest and upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. If you are looking for someone who can be with your pet 24/7, I may not always be the right person, depending on my working days and hours. However, I will always do my best to work with you and create a schedule that suits both you and your pet. When caring for pets in their home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take time to understand their usual feeding, walking, toileting, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines, and make sure these are followed as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I also make sure their home is left clean and secure, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Crystal has looked after our cats several times now and always does a great job. She is completely reliable and always keeps us updated after her visits. This time she even managed to send a couple of photos of our nervous cat, Tilly, which was lovely!”

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I spent six months volunteering at a dog rescue centre in Barbados, where I helped care for rescue dogs of different ages, sizes and backgrounds. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, general care and, of course, giving them plenty of love and attention. At home, my mum and I have two dogs of our own, including a rescue dog we brought home from Barbados, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve also regularly dog sat for friends and family, as well as caring for cats while family members have been away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is with someone you can trust, and I’ll always treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work a mixture of locally and from home, so my routine varies depending on the day. On my local working days, pets will be cared for in the morning before I leave, including feeding, toilet breaks and a walk where needed. As I work locally, I’m able to come home during the day, so dogs would need to be comfortable being left for up to around 4 hours at a time. I’m then home from around 5:30pm for the evening, with plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles and attention. On my work-from-home days, I’ll be home all day with the pets, so they’ll have plenty of company and attention throughout the day, as well as their usual walks, feeding and toilet breaks. At weekends, I’m fully available to spend my time with the animals in my care and will always do my best to keep to their normal routine. 🐾 I’ll always look after your pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to the routine they’re used to. I’m happy to follow whatever routine you normally have, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, toilet breaks or just lots of cuddles and attention! I know every pet is different, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and what they like. I’m also more than happy to send photos and little updates while you’re away, so you know they’re happy, settled and being well looked after.

About: Hi, I'm Kieran! I have a deep love for animals, while I don't have pets of my own right now due to living in a pet-free flat, I will channel all my animal-loving energy into looking after yours! I am active, trustworthy, and fully focused on making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Why Choose Me? I grew up around animals and feel completely confident handling different breeds, energy levels, and personalities. Because I cannot bring pets to my home, my focus is entirely on your turf. I offer dedicated house sitting in your home, drop-in feeding visits, and energetic outdoor dog walks. I also understand how precious your pets are so I can provide regular photo and text updates during every booking so you have total peace of mind. Whether you need a regular Saturday morning dog walker, weekday evening drop-in visits for your cat while you're away, or an overnight house sitter, I am here to help and remain flexible. I currently work full time Monday - Friday. However Wednesdays and Fridays I work from home allowing more flexibility to attend to pet toilet breaks as required. Every evening during the week I am available to walk your pet or house sit. Then on weekends I remain completely open and available to any requests. I will always follow the advice given by the pet owner to ensure the normal care is continued. This includes keeping to the pets same routine, and rules to ensure the pet feels relaxed in its own environment, as well as safe.

About: I've been surrounded by cats since I was just 6 years old, and I honestly couldn't imagine my life without them! Cats have always held such a special place in my heart, and over the years I've learned to understand their unique personalities, needs and little ways of communicating. I know that every cat is different. Some love endless cuddles and attention, while others prefer their own space and need a little more patience to build trust. I absolutely adore getting to know each cat individually and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved. Having grown up with cats, I'm familiar with their daily routines, feeding, playtime, litter care and, most importantly, recognising their body language and respecting their boundaries. For me, looking after cats is so much more than simply feeding them and keeping them company. It's about giving them the same love, patience and attention I'd give my own. I'll probably fall in love with your little furry friend within the first five minutes! ❤️🐱 I currently work full-time, but my schedule still allows me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time and attention to your furry little ones! I have Mondays and Tuesdays completely off, meaning I can spend the whole day at home with your cats, keeping them company, playing and giving them all the attention they deserve! On Wednesdays and Saturdays, I work from 11am to 10pm, but I have a two-hour break between 3pm and 5pm, allowing me to spend time with your cats in the morning, pop back during my break (depending on location) and be there overnight. Thursdays and Fridays are half-days, so I'll have either the morning and afternoon or the evening free to spend with them. On Sundays, I work from 11am to 8pm, meaning I'll be around before work and throughout the evening. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, especially when their humans are away. I'll always do my best to maintain their usual routines, give them plenty of love and attention (or space, if that's what they prefer!) and make sure they never feel forgotten. I'm more than happy to discuss your cat's individual needs beforehand to make sure my schedule is a good fit. After all, their happiness and well-being will always be my priority! 🐱💕 I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pets is a big deal, and it's a responsibility I take very seriously! ❤️ When house sitting, my priority is to make sure your cats feel safe, relaxed and loved in their own familiar environment. I know how much cats value their routines and personal space, so I'll always follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, litter tray cleaning, playtime, favourite sleeping spots or any little habits that make them feel at home. Having grown up with cats, I understand their body language and the importance of respecting their boundaries. I'll never force affection or interaction, especially with shy or anxious cats. Instead, I'll let them approach me at their own pace and build trust naturally. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, keeping everything clean, tidy and secure throughout my stay. I'll make sure doors and windows are safely closed, particularly if your cats are indoor-only, and follow any household rules you have. I know how much we miss our furry little friends when we're away, so I'm more than happy to send regular photos and updates to reassure you that they're happy, safe and getting plenty of love! Ultimately, I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your cats are comfortable in their own home, their routines are being respected and they're being cared for as if they were my own💕

About: Having cared for a dog through his senior years and recently welcomed a puppy into my life, I understand how much pets’ needs can differ at every stage of life. I’m patient, attentive and happy to adapt my care to suit each pet, whether that means extra attention for an older dog or the time and patience a young puppy needs. I also have two cats, so I’m familiar with feline personalities and care too. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. Six years ago, I moved to Sweden, and I’m currently back in the UK visiting family and travelling in my campervan. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so I can be available when needed. This means I can easily fit pet care around my day, whether that’s regular visits, walks or spending extra time with your pets to keep them company. I’m happy to work around your pets’ routines and give them the time, attention and care they deserve. As I’m currently living in my campervan, I’ll be offering pet care in the owner’s home rather than my own. I understand how important it is to respect both your home and your pets’ routines. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any other specific requirements. My priority is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their familiar surroundings, while giving you peace of mind that both your pets and your home are in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds and sizes for 7 years. I can take requests and instructions very well, as I know how important your pets routines can be! I can do long or short walks, train dogs and be emotional support for your fury family while you’re away. I currently work full time but have weekdays and some weekends off work. I can book days off with work if booked in advance, I’m pretty flexible with this! I am home everyday by 6:30pm if I am working, can do morning or evening walks. I have a large fenced garden, a decent sized kitchen/lounge for a large crate or bed if needed! I have no pets in the house currently. Very friendly, clean and calm environment

About: Hi! I’m a friendly, caring and reliable animal lover who has grown up around pets my whole life. I’ve always had dogs and have also cared for cats, hamsters and rabbits, so I’m very comfortable looking after all kinds of pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve regularly dog-sat for neighbours, friends and family, including both day sits and overnight stays. More recently, I’ve also helped care for two new puppies in my family, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with the extra attention, patience and care puppies need. I genuinely love being around animals and would treat your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I’m taking some time away from work to study Pilates and focus on building my own business. This gives me plenty of free time and flexibility throughout the week, which makes pet sitting a great fit for my lifestyle. I’m able to dedicate lots of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for, whether that’s daytime visits, longer stays or overnight sitting. I’m also able to be flexible around individual routines and can work around feeding times, walks and any specific care your pet needs. I really enjoy having animals around, so pet sitting is something I’d genuinely love to incorporate into my day-to-day life. I always aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, as I know this helps them feel comfortable and settled. I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, plenty of fresh water and lots of opportunities for play, exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I’m very happy to spend plenty of time keeping pets company, whether that’s playing with them, giving them cuddles or simply being around them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also comfortable using crates when this is part of their usual routine and would always follow the owner’s instructions around crate time and sleeping arrangements. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality, and I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, sleeping and play routines. Most importantly, I want them to feel safe, happy and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have been working around animals pretty much my entire life, so much so that I have formal qualifications in animal care. I have experience working in Catteries which came with professional training on administering medication and treatments while on the job! I have a deep seated interest in cat and dog behaviour and psychology. I have studied this for years, employing what i have learnt onto my own furry friend to great effect, to the point that she performed on stage, in a rendition of "The Wizard of Oz" where she, of course, played the role of Toto I look forward to hearing from you and meeting all of your pets! I'm available all hours of the day and every day of the week! So if you need a dog sitter for your holiday in 3 months, or if you need one in 30 minutes, I'll be there! When I'm sitting with your dog I will do exactly what you need and request! If your dog has a specific regime then let me know and it'll be followed to the letter! I have a large amount of experience with giving medication to cats and dogs, so if your furry friend struggles with any health issue then let me know! That way you can rest easy knowing that they will be kept in peak health while you're away However if you have a dog that can be a little silly and needs to be trained or helped in some way then look no further! I have a triple distinction in animal care so I have the qualifications to make sure your furry friend is the happiest they can be! I can always offer the services of my own dog if that's something which floats your boat! She is a very well trained dog that has endless experience with helping other dogs, by giving them an example to follow if needed.

“Marie was so lovely with our cat Binx! She made sure he had plenty of cuddles, playtime, and sent plenty of pictures and updates. I also really love that she allowed Binx the space to come up to her first and become more comfortable on his time. That let me know that she truly cares for animals!

Many sitters on Rover are experienced in managing 'full houses', from bonded pairs to larger clowders with different personalities. Help your sitter prepare by:
- Creating individual profiles for each cat. This allows you to list specific details easily, from dietary restrictions to personal boundaries.
- Detailing their routines during your Meet & Greet. Show your sitter what tricks you use to make sure your cats eat their meal—and only their own meals.
- Identifying your cats’ hiding spots. The less time your sitter spends looking for one cat who likes to hide, the more time they can spend with the other cat who likes to snuggle.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Kettering pet parents with similar pet households.
You can look for sitters on Rover whose profiles and reviews mention experience with shy, nervous or indoor-only cats.
When you contact a sitter, explain your cat’s usual routine, hiding places, preferred level of interaction and any door, window or escape-prevention precautions. During the Meet & Greet, discuss how the sitter will approach feeding, litter care, medication, play and check-ins without forcing interaction. You can also ask the sitter to provide specific photo or message updates through Rover.
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.
