“Annie was incredible! She came over beforehand to meet my cat, took detailed notes, and made sure she knew everything. During the stay, she sent tons of photos and videos daily and even brought a toy my cat adored. She went above and beyond—I’d book her again in a heartbeat (and will!)!”
“Sophie is wonderful. My cat is a rescue and naturally timid, taking a long time to warm up to people. Not so with Sophie. She quickly bonded with Sedona and was playing with her on day 2. Overall I’m really pleased (and relived!) I found Sophie. Highly recommended.”
“Ganna was lovely and professional with my girls - she made me feel very confident leaving her to check in on them! She wanted lots of information before hand which made me feel very settled and my girls loved her.”
“Joana looked after Selva and Keira for a second time. The cats were very happy. Wonderful Joana is very reliable and caring and kept in touch with us so we had no worries about our pets at all and could really enjoy our trip. Thank you so much”
“Ada was so wonderful & helped us out quite last minute! She popped over to meet our cat, and Koda loved her right off the bat so we knew she was going to be in good hands. Ada sent the best updates (videos & photos) and was extremely attentive to Koda! We would absolutely recommend her to keep an eye on your pet!”
“Lucie was a great cat sitter and made me feel completely at ease! She send lots of pictures of my kitties and asked lots of important questions upon meeting them for the first time which made me feel reassued they would be in good hands! Already booked her for another visit and would highly recommend her to anyone else ❤️”
“I would definitely ask Jas to cat sit again. She was friendly, and seemed to spend lost of time with Falstaff during her visits, playing and giving him brushes and not just feeding him then leaving right away. She sent detailed updates and videos.”
“Grace took fantastic care of our cat, Mango, while we were away! She gave us complete peace of mind during our first time leaving him. She looked after him so well, sticking to his dinner routine, setting up his breakfast feeder, and making sure to include plenty of playtime. We absolutely loved receiving her daily updates with photos, which we really looked forward to each day. She was reliable and communicative throughout. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat. I highly recommend her and we will absolutely book again!”
“Lexi took great care of Mango, our cat, for a few days of our trip. She was incredibly punctual, reliable, and followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly. She kept us updated throughout her visits, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing Mango was well looked after. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a kid - from German Sheppards to Golden Retrievers, Mastifs and Dachshunds. I am a huge dog lover and always making doggie friends everywhere I go! I have experience with anxious and nervous dogs, elderly dogs, administering medication, dog physio and hydrotherapy and have done dog nutrition consultations. I rescued my own dachshund cross Shaden in Slovakia when I was 17 and moved to England with him.He was my best friend and at the age of 16 passed away last year. He had a few special needs towards his senior years including daily medication, physio and hydrotherapy, a pram to get around due to his arthritis as well as a special home cooked diet due to his kidneys. I also have experience dog sitting anxious dogs as Shaden could get scared of loud noises and fireworks and I would often look after other rescues with anxiety. I also shared a house with a Mastif and 2 bulldogs for a number of years so have experience will all kinds of breeds and needs :). I absolutely adore dogs and cannot imagine my life without one! I am not quite ready to get my own dog just yet after Shaden but would love to have a buddy to take out and have some fun with while you are away! Please let me know and if your dogs are used to being in an office I can also take them in for longer stays and be flexible. I commute by train and it is about a 20min commute on the train and a 20min walk each side of the station. *At the moment during the summer until end of September I am fully wfh :) * I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I have just moved into my own house in Kingston recently so am home most weekends doing some gardening or exploring the local parks and area. During Tues-Thurs I work in a dog friendly office at Google and I come home around 2-3pm (if I am dog sitting I can go in for 2-3 hours only) so can do afternoon or evening dog sits. I can be flexible during the week and work from home if requested during the weekdays too - I just need a bit of notice for this :). I have my own fenced garden and am close to Richmond and Bushy park but also have a lot of lovely walks around me. I live on the ground floor so it is easily accessible for small dogs as well as I had planned to be here with my elderly sausage dog. Dogs are my buddies and I absolutely adore them so they are allowed on any and all furniture including the bed and sofa for extra snuggles :).
About: I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was 16 years old. I'm now hoping to share that love and care with your pet! I'm available for boarding on weekdays or weekends. Just give me a couple of days' notice to get things organised for your pet's holiday hotel! I don't currently have any pets, so your animal will not have to worry about sharing space or being confined with other animals. I have no garden but have more than enough green space close by for extended walks.
“We had a great experience with Laura looking after our cats for two days. She was very caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time by sending photos and messages, which made us feel very relaxed while we were away. Our cats were happy and well looked after when we came back. We would definitely recommend her and would happily book her again in the future!☺️”
“Natali is a fantastic cat sitter. I felt so relaxed being away, with the care she gave my cats! She did all the basics plus played with them so they didn’t get bored. I got so many videos and photos and my cats clearly loved her.”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my family and loved them growing up. Me and my partner have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and even though he no longer has the time I have no plans to stop! I have had many dogs in day care and have quite a few regulars that i board now. I’m enjoy learning about animal behaviour and dog training in my free time.I do not discriminate! I love all breeds and will happily accept any breed if we are a good fit for each other. Feel free to message me for dog walking services too. If you are living in Kingston I’d be happy to walk your dog regularly. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule and a lot of free time. I also live with my partner so there is always someone home. I live in a flat with a fairly big communal garden that can be used. I also live about 5 minutes from 2 local dog parks and I’m always happy to visit bushy park or Richmond park. I currently do not drive but I am not afraid of a really long walk! As I have been doing this for a while now, I’m fully equipped with bowls, treats, toys etc. I also have enough space for a crate if needed. Having such a flexible schedule means I’m able to spend a lot of time playing and interacting with the dogs that I look after. We are always interacting and getting to know each other. I think this is why the dogs I’ve had settle in so well and usually very quickly. I do have some experience with nervous dogs and I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I’m currently working part time from home which is extremely flexible and doesn’t limit me at all. I am at home most days but I am happy to bring your dog with me wherever I go. There really is no better company than a dog or two! Even though I have mostly had bookings at my own home, I’m happy to house sit if that’s more comfortable for owners or for the dog.
“Beatriz was excellent. She was so great with our cat Albert. Sent us loads of great photos and videos. Was very easy to communicate with and very responsive. We came back to a very happy cat. Highly recommend!”
“Sam and Coco were amazing. Very detailed and thoughtful visits and reports. They clearly cared for Oreo during what turned out to be an eventful and at times difficult sitting. I very much appreciated their going the extra mile. Communication was above and beyond. Will definitely use again and will highly recommend.”
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Kingston upon Thames is £13

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! 🐾❤️
I was worried about finding someone to look after our kitty cat for a week while we were away on holiday. I came across Jaqueline on this platform, and I can honestly say upon our meet and greet Pumpkin and I instantly felt at ease. Jaqueline sent photos everyday of Pumpkin playing, being brushed and petted by herself. It made our hearts melt each time. We would highly recommend Jaqueline. We certainly have found our cat sitter. Thank you so much Jaqueline, you’re the best!! 😻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤗
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.
Sophie was absolutely amazing looking after my two kitties, Apollo and Artemis, while I was away. She is incredibly trustworthy, highly responsive, and built a wonderful bond with them. She kept me updated on their every move and even left my flat completely spotless. We really liked her and will definitely book her again! Thanks a million Sophie :)
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.
Sam was euch a brilliant sitter for our cat Arlo. You can see how much she loves cats and lives to be around them. She sent me every day pictures and videos and let me know how he is doing. She is very reliable and kind. I can highly recommend her and will definitely book her again! 😻
Juste has been a brilliant cat sitter for our girl, giving her the love and attention she needed while we’re away. Juste came to meet us before the cat sitting began and the cat took an immediate liking to her! She has even watered my plants for me which is greatly appreciated. I definitely recommend Juste and will be using her again in the future 😃
Frangelica is really great professional! She took a good care of our cat Mina. Mina has a very shy character and not an easy cat to establish the contact with, but Frangelica managed to win her trust! She kept updating us with photos and messages, which gave us a great peace of mind. We are very grateful and would definitely recommend Frangelica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter! We would happily book her again!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kingston upon Thames choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
