“We are so happy we trusted Lam to take care of our cat Shiro! This was our first holiday since we adopted Shiro, and Lam put us at ease straight away from the meet & greet onwards. She was so caring and lovely with Shiro, and kept us updated with regular photos & messages throughout our trip. Shiro always looked super happy in the photos when Lam was visiting! Thank you so much Lam, I’m sure we will rebook with you again next time 😊”
“Bex did a fantastic job looking after our two cats Lily and Luna. It was our first time away from the cats for a few days so it felt very reassuring knowing that they were in safe hands. Bex is cleary excellent with pets and we could tell from the photos that our cats absolutely loved her. As well as looking after the cats, the house was also left very tidy which is always hugely appreciated when coming back from a trip away!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have lots of experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. Growing up, I had a Yorkshire Terrier called Rosie, who was part of our family for 18 years. Having Rosie throughout her life gave me experience with everything from the energy of a younger dog to the extra patience, attention and care that senior dogs can need. I’ve also walked dogs through BorrowMyDoggy in both Sheffield and London, as well as dog sitting for friends on a number of occasions, caring for both younger and older dogs. These experiences have made me comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines and needs. I genuinely love being around dogs and enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to cuddles and keeping them company. I’ll always treat every dog with kindness, patience and plenty of affection. I currently work part-time as a play worker at St Michael’s Primary School in Lichfield, with split shifts from 7:30–9:00am and 3:00–6:00pm. This gives me plenty of flexibility during the day to fit pet care naturally into my routine, including walks, home visits, feeding and spending quality time with pets. Outside of work, I also help care for my nan, who has dementia, so being patient, dependable and caring is already a big part of my everyday life. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for, whether I’m looking after them in their own home or mine. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide around feeding, walks, playtime and general care. I’m patient and attentive, and I’m happy to give pets plenty of affection and company while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or nervous. I’ll treat every pet with the same kindness and care I’d want for my own.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. Particularly large dogs. And rabbits! I don't have any pets of my own because I have two very small children and honestly they're enough right now 😵💫 I am a very active person so always happy for walkies and play dates. And always down for snugs. 🥰 I work part-time 18 hours a week. My eldest has started school full time and my youngest has started nursery so I do find myself with more time on my hands. Due to my children I do not offer pet care within my own home. I am happy to come to the pets home to help out and I am respectful to your pets boundaries and needs.
About: I’ve always grown up with pets in the household and I’m now lucky enough to be the proud owner of Betty, my 2 year old Cocker Spaniel and Coba my 6 year old male Bengal. Both are great with other animals as they’ve grown up around them. I believe pets should be treated as part of the family so I will look after them like they’re my own and am happy for them to cuddle up on the sofa with me. I also live near fields and woodlands which is great for dog walks. I am currently on maternity leave, meaning I am at home full time so can be very flexible with bookings and am available evenings and weekends. I have a fenced garden and two friendly pets of my own for your fur baby to play/cuddle up with. I also live walking distance from parks, fields and woodlands that are great for dog walks. I live in a 3 bedroom house so plenty of room for boarding and doggy day care and I have a spare crate that can be used if needed as my own puppy is crate trained.
About: I'm currently free all week, every week, while I am looking for work in the education sector as a teaching assistant, I am available. I am able to create an environment and be aware of their pets, I can ensure they're safe, looked after and secure within their environment
“I would 100% recommend Ionela to look after your pet whilst you’re away! She treated my cat like she was her own, I had multiple messages and pictures throughout the day on how my cat was doing which was a nice gesture and comforting especially if it’s your first time leaving them like mine was. My cat really enjoyed her stay and I know she felt comfortable due to her reactions on the pictures/videos I received, Thankyou Ionela for all you done☺️”
“Flexible, easy to contact and replied really quickly. Took great care of our two cats at short notice. Followed all feeding instructions and sent lots of pictures while we were away :)”
“BingBing is such a lovely person and did an amazing job at looking after our cat Miso and the house. We had regular updates and the house was left absolutely spotless! We recommend BingBing 100%! We would not hesitate to have BingBing look after Miso in the future. A huge thank you again!☺️😀”
About: 20+ years with all breeds of dogs, I studied Animal Care & Management at Moreton Morrel College from 2007 to 2010 and passed with a triple Distinction. I also completed a dog behaviour course while in college passing with a Distinction. in 2010 i completed a microchipping course so i am a qualified micro chipper. I went back to college in 2013 to study level 1 dog grooming which i passed with a Distinction. I will also take none dog friendly dogs as I have a separate secure area in house, they will still receive all the care just like all the dogs in my care. I have grown up with dogs all my life, i have multiple dogs of my own. We all complete in an active sports Flyball. I mainly cater for high energy dogs as like my own i can accommodate their needs for long and fun packed walks. I can cater for dogs that need shorter walks, in the day when not out exploring i do odd games within the house to keep them active and make sure they have lots of fun, we also can travel to other locations to go on some amazing walks. I have 2 children who are very dog savvy, they have an understanding on dogs but they are never left alone with any. Full run of house, crated at night unless not crate trained. If none friendly they will be in a separate safe area, allowed on sofas, beds etc
“Adline took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive and it was clear she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’d happily book with her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter. ☺️”
“Kayan did a lovely job looking after my cats while I was away. It was such a comfort knowing they were in safe and caring hands. Kayan kept me updated daily, took great care of them, and made sure they were happy and well looked after. I came home to content, relaxed cats, which is the best sign of all. I would happily recommend Kayan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my cats!”

This was our second time booking Lam to cat sit for us. We felt so reassured knowing Shiro would be so well looked after while we were on holiday. Lam’s communication was great, she kept us well updated and sent lots of photos with each visit. Shiro always looked happy in every update! Thank you Lam for looking after Shiro again for us!

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 occurred. 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 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.

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.
