“Sophie was incredibly reliable and easy to communicate with. She always responded to messages promptly and kept us updated every day with lovely photos of our cats, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs, so looking after pets has always come naturally to me. I now have a corgi of my own, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing with both dogs and cats, but I’m also happy to just keep them company and help them feel relaxed while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I always try to treat every pet like my own and pay attention to their individual needs and personality. I also have experience giving medication if needed, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. I already have a routine with my own dog, so adding another pet feels very natural. I’m able to be flexible with walks, feeding times, and any specific needs your pet has. Whether it’s a quick check-in, longer walks, or full-day care, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is well looked after and not left alone for long. I have a fenced garden, so pets can enjoy safe outdoor time and toilet breaks. I make sure to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions.
About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains. I would often walk more than one dog, as I have cared for my neighbors dogs before, who are a bit smaller than my boxer. I was responsible for my dogs behavior training, medication management (including regular and important medications now my George is an older boy) and trick training. I’ve also cared for my cat Izzy since she was a kitten, ensuring her well being and understanding feline behavior. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, walking and feeding dog all of different sizes, aswell as dealing with dogs that aren’t trusty of people or trained due to being abandoned. Although I don’t live with my pets anymore, I still see them as they live with my parents. I am currently fully flexible, so I am able to look after your pets this summer regardless of your needs. I am willing to come to any location and adapt to your needs. From ensuring my cat and my dog stayed safe and in the house in my hometown, which was a mountainous where a pet can easily be lost, i can assure I am a trustworthy attentive person.
“We had to go away for three days while Gigi was unwell, so we were naturally worried about leaving her. Ada took wonderful care of her, gave her medication as instructed and kept us regularly updated throughout. Knowing Gigi was in such good hands gave us great peace of mind. As always, Ada was reliable, caring and attentive. We completely trust her and would highly recommend her!”
About: Me and my partner Carlo have loved and looked after pets from a young age. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and can easily follow your pet’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and feeding schedules. Keeping pets comfortable and sticking to the routines they’re used to is really important to me. I love looking after both cats and dogs and providing a safe, calm space where they can relax while you’re away. I always aim to make pets feel at home and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection so their stay feels like a little holiday. I’ve had experience caring for both cats and dogs through having my own pets and looking after those of friends and family. I also cared for my senior cat for many years, so I’m very familiar with understanding cats’ individual personalities and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I work from home and have flexible schedule that allows me to give regular walks and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I also live near good walking spots for dogs with plenty of space to run around I am happy to cuddle your pets, play with toys, give walks in the park near my home and provide any care necessary to the pet.
“Our regular cat sitter was away when we needed to travel for 3 weeks. Luckily, we found Evie to take care of our cats at short notice. Evie is certainly experienced and very responsible. Our cats were a bit shy in the beginning, but gradually they began looking forward to her visit every day. Besides feeding and cleaning, Evie played with and petted them to cheer them up while they were all by themselves. We are very grateful that we returned home to our healthy and happy cats. We will continue to rely on Evie’s professional care when we are away next time.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11. I walk all the time and love to take dogs with me. I often house sit for friends when they go on holiday and need their pets looked after! I’m working part-time at the moment so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of pets. I go on long walks for photography and I love nature and a little furry company never hurts. A night in with a book and a pet by my side is my ideal night. I try to make pets feel comfortable by keeping to their usual routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and keep owners updated while they’re away.
“Gabriella done drop in visits twice a day for my French bulldog chance and would highly recommend her to anyone and would have her back again.

About: Hi, my name is Yana Dogs have always had a special place in my hear I had a dog of my own, and over the years I’ve also enjoyed helping friends with their dogs — from walks and playtime to looking after them when they’re away One experience that was especially meaningful to me was staying with a friend’s puppy for a whole week while she was on holiday It was a lovely experience and reminded me just how much I enjoy caring for dogs and being part of their little world ❤️ I understand that every dog is different Some love long, energetic walks, while others prefer a slower pace with plenty of time to sniff and explore I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine and personality and make every walk comfortable, safe and enjoyable I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own — with plenty of attention, affection and care I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your four-legged friend and become someone you can trust and rely on 🐶❤️ After every walk, I’m happy to send you a photo and a little update, so you can see your dog enjoying their time and know how their walk went 🐶📸 I live 1 minute away from Canbury Garden Thank you :) I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to provide daytime care, overnight stays, and house sitting. I can be flexible with different schedules and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a comfortable and peaceful apartment in a pet-friendly area, with a large, beautiful park just a short walk away. It’s a great place for dogs to enjoy regular walks, fresh air and plenty of exercise.
“I’m so lucky to have found Georgiana! My pets and I loved her from the moment we met! She is super responsive, on time and keeping me in the loop with details and photos of my pets. Would recommend her to anyone and definitely book her again! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pets!”
“Samantha and her daughter did an excellent job looking after our cat! Communication was quick and clear, received daily updates and pictures and they even went an extra mile to wait for us to come back first before dropping off the keys in case of a delayed flight. Thank you both again! Definitely recommend!”
About: i’ve been passionate about all animal kind since childhood. i grew up always out in nature and going to anywhere i could see animals. the highlight of my childhood was meeting my hero david attenborough! my best friend growing up was my jack russell terrier alfie. i often cared for friends and family members pets being from a large family who knew how much it meant to me to be around animals. i offer dogs lots of fun and support, i understand the individual and work to find what motivates them. i can adapt to most needs and love making dogs happy. a fun fact about me is i’m using money i make from this service to save towards my wedding - i love the idea that looking after my favourite animal can fund my special day! working from home throughout the week means that i am always local and can easily fit care throughout a day/week. myself and my partner love to go for long walks and get the most out of our beautiful local area. however, a walk is never complete without a canine companion! we’re lucky enough to live in between two royal parks (bushy and richmond) where we spend hours exploring. also always love a cosy weekend night in with a pup or cat to snuggle and spoil. i live in a large flat with cosy spaces to snuggle down, big windows to sit at and watch the world go by and plenty of space to play. myself and my partner both work from home and can have a pet sat in a room with either of us, or free range throughout the flat, whichever is their/your preference. i am always respectful of someone else’s home, i understand it’s not easy allowing a new person into your space and am keen to honour the trust given. your home is your castle and i will treat your pets like royalty!
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of experience caring for them. My family had a Cocker Spaniel, Bobby, for 10 years, and we currently have Maisie, our 13-year-old Golden Labrador. I also regularly spend time with my partner’s 6-year-old Toy Poodle, Bertie. Since I was 12, I’ve regularly walked and house-sat dogs for family friends, looking after them in their own homes and treating them as my own. More recently, while living in Melbourne for three years, I used Mad Paws to care for dogs for multiple owners, giving me experience looking after dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to caring for older dogs who need a little more patience and attention. Above all, I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely love having dogs around. I’m currently actively looking for my next full-time role, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting and longer stays throughout the week. I tend to be more occupied on weekends, but am always open to discusisng my avaibility and making your pet fit into my schedule on weekends! I’m also able to be flexible around individual pets’ routines and am happy to work around feeding times, walks, medication or any other specific needs. I’m looking for pet care to be a regular part of my routine while I’m job hunting, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. The safety and wellbeing of every pet in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, likes and dislikes before looking after them, and I always follow their owner’s instructions closely. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of the property and aim to keep everything clean, secure and as the owner left it. I’m particularly conscious of making sure doors, gates and windows are secure and that pets are never put in an unsafe situation. I want owners to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re away, so I love to provide regular updates and photos and keep them informed of how their pet is doing.
“Never used a cat sitter before and needed urgent last minute care for my cats. Rhiannon was swift at responding and great with my two kitties. Will definitely use for the future and hopefully with more notice next time! Thank you Rhiannon!!”

I would highly recommend Sophie. She was very quick to respond and we felt very comfortable that our cat was being left in safe hands. Sophie sent us daily updates and even very kindly took our bins in for us. I would definitely use Sophie again to look after our cat whilst we’re away.
We had to go away for three days while Gigi was unwell, so we were naturally worried about leaving her. Ada took wonderful care of her, gave her medication as instructed and kept us regularly updated throughout. Knowing Gigi was in such good hands gave us great peace of mind. As always, Ada was reliable, caring and attentive. We completely trust her and would highly recommend her!
Jacqueline was amazing with my cats! I was concerned finding a new cat sitter but she was fantastic. Obviously a cat person and totally got their habits, likes and dislikes. Her communication with me was great whilst I was away and I always got updates and photos on how they were which made me feel at ease. I will definitely use Jacqueline again and would recommend her to anyone.
Reina looked after my cat Fifi all weekend and I was so relaxed! You can tell she absolutely loves animals and sent me so many pictures and updates. She played with Fifi and took care of her so well. She even emptied my dehumidifier for me, which was very kind! She was also able to help me at last minute which shows how reliable and helpful she is: thank you Reina from me and from my beloved Fifi!
Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our kitty. He was very well looked after and entertained. Samantha is a very caring and compassionate person with great communication skills both with people and animals 🙂 we highly recommend her services and are very grateful that she went above and beyond our expectations to provide the best possible care to our boy.
Sil is a fantastic cat sitter and my number 1 go to choice. You can tell she really genuinely loves cats and it’s a great comfort when I’m away to know that Willow is being looked after so well. Excellent communication and lovely photos every visit. I always come home to a happy girl.
We couldn’t recommend Grace highly enough! She looked after our two cats, Chester and Duke, while we were away, and we came home knowing they had been in the best possible hands. Grace was incredibly caring, reliable and attentive, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats. She went above and beyond what we expected, not only taking great care of Chester and Duke but also cleaning out the bins and even dealing with a rather unpleasant maggot situation! It’s such a relief to have someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home. Grace did an amazing job, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much, Grace! 🐾❤️

We will continue to rely on Evie’s professional care when we are away next time.
Olivia has been great (again! Olivia has looked after my cat a few times). She let me know how my cat was doing each day which was very reassuring. I felt happy that she really was looking out for him. Even though I had been away for a while, my cat looked well and content on my return.

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.

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.
