“Brilliant service, Hayley was very friendly and trusting with our furry ones, she did exactly what the animals needed and kept us in formed, we are both more and happy to used same sitter again for the future. Thank you Hayley ”
“Lam has been absolutely amazing with our shy and anxious cat, Shiva. We never expected Shiva to open up to a stranger so quickly but she clearly felt comfortable from the start! During the pre-visit, we already noticed Lam's good knowledge of cat behaviour and attention to every detail of our instructions, and she reliably updated us with photos and infos during her visits while we were away. We are so happy that Shiva has made a new friend and will definitely book her again!”
“Andrew was the perfect cat sitter for our three week holiday. As soon as I met him I knew he would be a good fit for our two cats. One of them, the younger one, can be a little bit nervous of strangers but Andrew had such a calm and gentle nature that I was sure she would be very happy with him. He was incredibly self sufficient and gave us updates throughout his stay. A perfect house guest too, leaving the house very clean and tidy. I can’t rate him highly enough.”
“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!”
“Laurel kept us up to date with clear communication and photos so it gave us peace of mind that Coba was being well looked after. Will definitely be booking again in future.”
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.
“Amanda helped us massively by looking after Arlo, our cat, over Christmas. It is the second time she has looked after him and both times, it was so reassuring to know he was so well cared for- with updates.and photos showing him comfortable, relaxed and enjoying her visits.”
“Stacey provided a first class service. Our cats couldn't have been made to feel more special and cared for whilst we were away. Great updates provided after every visit. I can honestly say that I think they were a little disappointed when we returned home. We've already booked Stacey again. Thoroughly recommended.”
“Jill was fantastic, she took on board all my requirements, including a rather old school food timer. Luna is very nervous around new people, but she was soon rolling over and having a play session with Jill. ”
“Absolutely wonderful service! You took exceptional care of my chonky girl and kept me reassured with daily photos and thoughtful updates. I am genuinely grateful for all you’ve done. I will most certainly be booking with you again—thank you so very much!”
“Megan has been amazing! It was my first time leaving my cat and naturally I was anxious to leave her but Megan really put my mind at ease, she is kind and warm and really has a love for animals.. she sent me regular photos and updates which I’ve really appreciated whilst I’ve been away. My cat isn’t the most social sometimes but she has made good friends with Megan while I’ve been gone and they seem to of become besties 🫶🏼 . I would highly recommend her service and I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Megan ❤️”
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 have had over 10 years experience with dogs, either as my own (we previously had a lurcher) or via apps such as this one. I recently bought my own business and am therefore able to work flexibly, allowing for dog walking and pet sitting. I have 3 boys which keep me busy but would like to spend some time with animals too. My husband Darren has previous helped me out with dog walking (he is a huge dog lover also!) however this was with the permission of the dog owner. My kids have been around the dogs if I brought them back to our house, however this again was with permission of the owner. I am happy to administer medications, give cuddles, go for walks, make sure they are fed, etc. happy to discuss individual needs and make sure the pet has what they need to be happy and healthy.
“Jarrad was absolutely great with our dog Nala, they met and she took to him immediately, he was friendly and professional, asking questions about what she needed and where to find things if I’d forgotten to say. Then he updated us on his visit and shared photos showing what a happy visit Nala had. When we got home she had clearly been relaxed and easy since his visit too, which was fantastic. 100% recommend.”
About: Animal first aid trained ******* Animals are way better than humans! I am a very loving carer and owner of my two amazing pugs Gem and Jake and they are the best! I am a very active dog owner who is happy to take those short journeys for the little ones to the big walks for our more active fur babies. I have plenty of fenced back garden area for your beauts to play around. I have a good understanding of animal care and applying and administering medications. I have looked after pets (Mainly dogs) since being the age 18 and love every species of every living creature. ( No spiders get killed in my house) 🥰. I work from home part time and find I spend more time with my fur babies than actually work lol. They seriously make my day and my life revolves around my pets. I am happy and have enough room to accommodate up to two fur babies at the same time alongside my Fur babies. I spend all my spare time with my Gem and Jake and love them getting to socialise with other dogs too. I will send you regular videos and updates and I am happy to communicate with your selves on any questions. I also will come to your property for one hour visits to feed/walk your fur baby. I allow my pets free range of the house and my house is set up to accommodate this. I am happy for you to bring anything that will help your fur baby to settle and feel secure. We have a small dog flap and a high fenced secure back garden with plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and play.

Hayley was amazing looking after Smudge. On our initial meeting, it was obvious that she is some kind of cat whisperer! Smudge took to her straight away with her calm nature, which put me at ease. Hayley sent me daily messages and photos which was amazing. I would definitely recommend Hayley and will happily use her services again in the future. Thank you Hayley.
This was the first time we’d ever left Ari, so I was really nervous, but Rachel was absolutely brilliant and put our minds at ease from the start. She took such great care of Ari - setting up her automatic feeder, changing her water and litter, brushing her, playing with her and keeping her company while we were away. We loved the updates and photos Rachel sent while we were away. She even asked beforehand whether we’d like regular updates or would prefer to switch off and enjoy our holiday, which was really thoughtful. They made such a difference and meant we could relax knowing Ari was happy and well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Rachel again and I’m so glad we found her. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Ari! 💕😽

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Lichfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lichfield on Rover is £13 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £17 per Visit.
sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,086 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Lichfield. About 92% of Lichfield 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 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.
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.
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.
