“Absolute star. My Cat can be a bit standoffish but from the regular upgrades I received, it sounded like they got on well. Id definitely book again with Libby, and recommend her to others.”
About: I'm experienced in caring for both cats and dogs, and especially passionate about giving excellent care to older and/or medically complex pets. I love the wide variety in cat behaviour, whether they are happiest just existing in the same room, or sitting on my lap, I am always happy to take care of them. While I love all types of dogs, I'm best suited to dogs with less intensive exercise needs, such as smaller breeds or elder dogs. To give more information about my experience taking care of animals, I began with taking care of my neighbour's cat when they went on holiday. Even once her owners were back from holiday, we got into a routine where the cat would wait on the front doorstep every day for me to give her chin scritches. My interest in taking care of medically complex pets comes from personal experience, as my family dog suffered a spinal cord injury a few years ago. Luckily, after excellent vet care, he has an excellent quality of life and is very happy, just with shorter walks than before and regular pain-management medication. I'm very happy to take care of pets that need a little extra attention and support, whether that is with medication, toileting, pain management, and anything else your pet needs support with. I'm most comfortable house-sitting, as this guarantees your pet will receive love and care whenever they need it. I can also travel for drop-in visits and walks. I'll probably ask a lot of questions just to make sure their is minimal disruption to your pets regular lifestyle, and will of course send plenty of updates and photos while taking care of them. I'm currently focusing on petsitting, alongside occasional crochet commissions. This gives me full flexibility to work within your pets' usual routine, and dedicate as much time as they need to be happy, healthy and comfortable. I will care for your pets as you do! It depends upon the individual pet and their usual routine - whether it's a cat that roams as they wish, a dog that has specific walk times, or anything in between. I trust that you know what is best for your pet, and will always to my best to minimise any disruption to their usual routine and lifestyle. I understand that some pets can find it stressful to be taken care of by a new person, and am always happy to do home visits ahead of your trip so that we can make sure that I am the right person to take care of your pet. I am also insured as a petsitter and dog walker, should any incidents occur. For safety reasons, I prefer to provide my own lead for walks - I will bring this along to a meet and greet so that we can check it's comfortable for your dog.
“Did a lovely job with our cat, he seemed very happy and relaxed after Sarah's visit. Sarah was on time with her arrivals and followed the instructions/requirements to the T. Highly recommend ☺️”
“Matthew was fantastic with drop ins for my cats! He kept me so updated and it really alleviated my travelling stress. I came home to 2 happy cats and had a relaxing time away knowing they were safe. He even went above and beyond cleaning up after them.”

About: I raised and trained my Chihuahua Bella since a puppy and she's now 7 years old and still as lively as ever! I'm now lucky enough take care of my three adorable cats at home; Pageant queen destroyer of the universe who is 2 years old and is reserved but very(!) sassy, Gary who is 20 weeks who is a very cheeky boy who loves to play, and, Striper - the newest addition to our family - who is only 9 weeks old and is slowly beating Gary in play-fights! I also have two guinea pigs at home - Mochi and Ichigo - who have taken a short while to get comfortable but are now as happy as ever squeaking and jumping for lunch! I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I can do this as my main job so I have loads of time to take care of your pets! My usual morning drop-ins are around 9-10am, Lunch around 12-1 and evening around 7-8 however if you have specific timings I'm very flexible! I'll make sure to check in with you when I arrive, send some cute little photos of them playing and eating, and then let you know when I'm out and everything is locked up. I will always do a quick visit with yourself there first so I can see your routine, anything to be aware of (gates to keep them in specific areas/ doors to keep shut) and so you can let me know anything specific or more complicated in person! I have given my cats their worming a flea treatments in the past and given my dog medication when required so if there's any specific needs for your pet I'm more than happy to help!
“Our cats (and also plants) enjoyed the care and attention she gave them. The cats were so relaxed and happy when we came home. Every day she send very lovely and clear updates and photos during the time we were away. We will definitely ask you first next time when we are going away. Thank you for your care.”
“Paige did an excellent job taking care of our quite shy cat. She kept us updated with photos and videos while we were away, which really put our minds at ease. We felt completely reassured knowing our pet was in such good hands. I would definitely hire Paige again in the future :)”
“Beatrice was fantastic and seemed to earn the trust of a nervous cat! She was extra helpful with being able to do an extra when my plans changed at the last minute. Will be booking again in the future!”
About: I own a dog walking business which is based in the areas of Morecambe, Heysham, Hest Bank and Halton and surrounding areas. I have a crated van, insurance and I’m also Canine First Aid Trained. I also have a pet jet for washing down your muddy pups 🐾 I have been open since April 2025. I walk in small groups of maximum 4 dogs paired carefully. It’s £15 for a 1 hour group walk, additional dogs from the same household are an extra £5. Pet visits are £10. I have many years of experience in the industry with all types of animals including horses, rabbits, dogs and cats. I also offer horse care services which I am qualified in with 15+ years personal experience 🐎 Please contact me first for a free meet and greet if you are interested, thankyou 🐾😊 This job fits into my weekly routine perfectly, I love my job and all the furry friends that come with it, it fits in with my healthy active lifestyle very well. On my walks, all the dogs are treated like my own. They are all spoilt with treats (if allowed) and lots of attention. My walks are a perfect way for your dogs to socialise with other dogs which is very important. You can find from my walks that some range from quiet strolls to adventurous walks/runs, depending on your dogs capability. All dogs are paired carefully 😊
About: With over 7 years of hands on pet experience , im a confident and attentive dog sitter and owner of a high-energy border collie and little black cat , giving me exceptional understanding of exercise, routine and behaviour needs of our furry friends ! I am very flexible morning, noon and evening! I work part time so I have plenty of time to look after your little (or big!) furry family members when needed! I am also willing to travel around the area (eg Carnforth, Lancaster, kendal , Grange areas) I care for the pets safely in their own homes by following the owners routine, using approved equipment , securing doors and gardens , monitoring behaviour and health closely and maintaining clear communication at all times
About: I have taken care of both my own dogs and other peoples for 10 years, I also have experience in cat sitting and have previously owned Guinea pigs. Throughout my time looking after dogs I have dealt with both senior and puppies making me well suited to accommodate the specific needs of individual dogs. I am currently studying at university and have plenty of time both to walk dogs and make home visits, as well as overnight stays so am very flexible in terms of how many hours I can work as well as when those hours are. Both at home and in another pet owners home I make sure that Gates leading out of the property are properly shut so that all pets remain safe. I also make sure that the needs of all pets including food, water and attention are met so that the pets in question are not only well looked after but are also happy.
About: Although I don’t currently have any pets (I blame my landlord); growing up, I shared my house with two big dogs and three cats - With a busy family, I was relied on to walk, feed, bathe and cuddle them all ☺️ I work full time as a community support worker in York. I can usually be available any time throughout the week after 5pm. I have every evening free as well as weekends. Any time I’m not in work, I’m more than happy to help out. Due to my landlord, he won’t let animals into my own apartment 🙄 I would be more than willing to sneak them in however I fear the worst so it’s maybe best that I come to you instead!
“Jason is a lovely guy, very friendly and looking after people's fur babies are obviously a passion for him. He did an absolutely fantastic job looking after my cat Charlie. He spent time with Charlie to play with him and give him attention which was really appreciated. The photos and videos at each visit were great and the messages for each visit letting me know exactly how Charlie was doing. It was very reassuring knowing that Charlie was being looked after so well whilst we were away. I'll most certainly be booking Jason when we have our next trip away. Definitely a 5 star review!”
“Ashleigh came to do a meet and greet with me and my Border Collie, Casper, and took him for a walk. He seemed to love her straight away and she had a great skill and confidence in getting my cheeky dog to behave! Really looking forward to Ashleigh taking care of Casper again and have booked further dog walks and house/dog sitting with her.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs all my life which has made me become very fin of all animals and created a passion for animals and I’d love if I could always be around animals and take care of the and give the the love the deserve. Currently I have two big dogs who I love and adore and I can’t wait to meet many other different kinds of dogs and cats. I’m currently studying at Lancaster University, however my schedule is not very busy at the moment so I would love to use my spare time to help others and care for their animals. I’m very experienced with dogs of all breeds and could manage any issues I may or may not encounter. I love playing with dogs so I would be very content looking after playful dogs who need a lot of attention. I also enjoy going on walks by myself but having a dog there would make it even better! I’m confident that I can manage and be attentive to any breed and any personality a dog may have. I’m good at reading animals body language to understand if they’re nervous, uncomfortable or unsure and would do my best to take them out the situation that was maybe causing them to feel such a way.
About: Growing up with dogs, and helping out friends and family with walking theirs, I've spent a lot of time learning how to look after different dogs - of different breeds, and very different personalities. I've loved dogs since I was a child, (my first word was dog! 😂) and love spending time with them - so would love to help you and your pet out! I have quite a flexible schedule as a student - only having a few hours a week where I have to be on campus, so anytime around my lectures works perfectly! And I'm always happy to figure out what times are best for you and your pets The safety of a pet is always my top priority. I will never let your dog off leash unless they are in an enclosed area, or I am certain that they will listen to me recalling them. Anytime I am with your pet, they will have my complete, undivided attention, to ensure I am looking after them to the best of my ability. I'll send you update photos/videos as frequently as you request, and consistently let you know how you pet is doing, and where we're walking. I'll ask quite a few questions before meeting your pet, to ensure I care for them to the best of my ability, and follow and instructions or boundaries you give without fail.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, I currently have a 45kg Labrador cross so very experienced with all large dogs. I’ve done a variety of training and will always help you with your dogs if you need any guidance. I work this round my university studies, I’m usually available every weekend & evenings but I can accommodate last minute requests, Just give me a message! I have a large fenced garden and a large Labrador playmate for your pets! We go on long walks, often to the beach or the woods.
About: I’ve had pets since I was 8. As soon as I had the chance to walk my neighbour dog I realised is a nice way to fill my spare time. I only work a couple of hours a day so I’ve got plenty of time to do some walks, housesitting or even go to the vet if necessary. I can teach your pet easy and basic commands, I can play with them in the park and also I do like to do long-walks with them

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
I can’t recommend Sarah enough! She looked after my two cats while I was away, and came back to some very happy cats. She kept me updated with how each visit went and included pictures which I very much appreciated. She even went above and beyond and brought in a package of cat litter that got left infront of the house. Thank you very much Sarah, I will absolutely be using your services again and recommending you to my friends with pets,
Linda has been absolutely amazing. She gave so much care and attention to all of our elderly cat’s needs and eccentricities, ensuring he got all of his meds and plenty of time for strokes. We were a bit worried about leaving our cat in the hands of a stranger, especially as he has additional health needs, but Linda treated him like he was one of our own and we were able to see him contentedly purring in the videos she sent during her visits, leaving us free to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing he was in safe hands. I highly recommend Linda, and would definitely use her services again.
Bonnie did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats when we were away at short notice. She was reliable and professional and kept us updated with lovely photos every day which made us feel very reassured! Both cats were really happy and relaxed when we returned. We would highly recommend Bonnie and would not hesitate to book with her again.
It was in the initial meeting that i knew Beatrice was the perfect person to look after a rather nervous cat who would be feeling lonely when i went on holiday. She was great in learning what was needed and i know that in her 30 minute visits, my cat would have got a huge amount of 'tlc'. It was great to receive a video during my time away. The end of my holiday was thrown into total chaos due to severe weather in Europe, airport closures and flight cancellations. However, Beatrice willingly stepped in with anything extra which was needed until i could return home. The wonderful thing is that when i go away again, i will be asking Beatrice to look after my cat in full knowledge of the superb care and attention my 'fluffy friend' will get!
We’re so grateful for the wonderful care our cats received. Evie took the time to visit beforehand to understand their routine and make sure everything would be just right. While we were away, she kept us updated with sweet photos and messages that really put our minds at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we came home to two very happy, relaxed cats. We couldn’t ask for better and would happily book her again! Thank you again, Evie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 208 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Lancaster. About 92% of Lancaster 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.
