About: I’m Milena and I just moved to London! I’m an enthusiastic, curious and outgoing person who loves cats and dogs :). I’ve grown up with dogs since my mom’s in the industry, she takes cares of anything from training (basic education, rescue, guarding…), day care, pet sitting, dog shows, and even has her own litters up to twice a year. I currently own a Doberman, Weimaraners and a Jack Russel (+ a cat) at my parents’ home! I’ve always been surrounded by dogs (small and big) and have tagged along to learn the basics of dog training for both puppies and adult dogs. Since moving out for uni, I have been focusing on dog and cat sitting as well as walking since I can’t see myself spending a week without at least one furry friend! I enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddling, you name it. I will be starting a full time internship in Knightsbridge on July 1st. But my early mornings and evenings are free during the week, and I have my weekends free! I am very a adaptable person, so I know I can manage balancing out social life, sports (I do athletics) and taking care of your best friend :) I am renting out a room for my time in London, and would thus prefer if I could take care of your pet at your home. I can easily move and come around if needed, whether it is pet sitting or taking them outside :)

About: I grew up with rescue cats, and in the past, I've kept my own guinea piggies and leopard geckos. I have used various other platforms over the years for petsitting, to take dogs for walks and into work on a regular basis, as well as popping in to feed cats. I genuinely care for animals and I always strive to do my best by them with the utmost affection. I have a flexible schedule and I regularly care for pets in owners' homes across the UK, so I'm experienced at quickly building trust with animals and maintaining their usual routines. I have been petsitting for many years now and I am quite comfortable providing the exact care as described by the homeowners. I have proven myself to be trustworthy and reliable. I am happy when the animals in my care are happy!
“Kerri and Ian looked after our elderly cats multiple times now. They’re a lovely and reliable couple. We get updates on our fur kids regularly whilst away and we know our cats are safe, fed and get their medication on time. We are really happy to have found Kerri and Ian on the ‘Cat in the flat’. Highly recommend them! ”

“Helped me out of a really tough situation- Yan is really friendly and was up for collecting my keys from hospital, going to my home and feeding my cat, and then dropping the keys back off to me in hospital. I had no idea how I was going to get my cat fed and Yan came through! Would def recommend”
“Douglas knows cats! He is extremely comfortable and our Hemingway (normally a bit shy) was playing with him within minutes and you could see an immediate trust. Douglas kept us informed about his daily visits and sent us photos of a happy cat. I would not doubt asking him again for our next holiday 😻”
“Pablo was great with Pepper. He sent regular updates and photos. Pepper is a very nervous and shy cat but she warmed up really quickly to Pablo and was clearly comfortable in his care. I highly recommend Pablo to other cat parents.”
“Matilde was wonderful taking care of our two cats. Her communication was perfect, she was very responsive and on top of their care. We really felt like we could relax and the photos were very cute too, as an added bonus! Our cats definitely liked Matilde a lot, and they were happy and relaxed when we returned which was lovely to come back to.”
About: Hello! We are Giuliana and Lucas, a dedicated couple currently traveling around the UK. For the past 4 months, we’ve been housesitting and pet-sitting full-time across England and Scotland. We are thrilled to now bring our passion and experience to the Rover community! What sets us apart is our extensive, hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets and needs. We don’t just watch over pets; we treat them like family. Our background includes: Puppy Care: We know the patience, energy, and consistency required to look after high-energy young pups and maintain their routines. Senior & Medical Care: We are fully experienced in administering medications and providing the gentle, attentive care that senior or special-needs dogs require. All Shapes & Sizes: From large, energetic dogs that need strong handlers to independent cats who just want a cozy lap, we adapt perfectly to every personality. Since we travel and work as a team, your pet will get double the love, attention, and supervision. We are organized, extremely clean, and committed to giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos! As full-time house and pet sitters, looking after animals is not just a side job, it is our primary focus and daily lifestyle. Because we travel and work remotely as a team, our schedule is incredibly flexible. Your pets will rarely be left alone, as at least one of us is almost always at home to keep them company, stick to their exact feeding schedules, and give them the attention they deserve. Our daily routine completely adapts to your pet's needs: from morning walks and playful afternoons to administering medications on a strict timeline or simply sharing quiet cuddles on the sofa. Your pet’s comfort and routine dictate our day. We care for pets exclusively in the owner's home, ensuring they stay in their safest, most comfortable, and familiar environment. We treat every home we step into with the utmost respect, cleanliness, and responsibility. Safety and Trust are our top priorities: Home Security: We strictly follow all security guidelines, ensuring doors and gates are locked, alarms are set, and keys are safely managed. Pet Safety: We maintain a sharp eye on their environment, making sure harmful food or hazards are out of reach. On walks, dogs are always kept securely on their leashes unless specified otherwise by you in safe, designated areas. Medical Peace of Mind: We are highly responsible with medication schedules and always have the details of your preferred local vet on hand in case of any emergency. Communication: We believe communication is key to your peace of mind. You will receive daily updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how happy and relaxed your pet is while you are away.
“Enrica was amazing! Our dog can be shy, but he got along with Enrica right away! She definitely has a way with dogs : ). We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“Highly recommend. Valery looked after my two British shorthairs and was great to communicate with. She even set up their toys for them to play with and swept up kitty litter that they had trailed. So kind. I have already asked Valery back for more visits! ”
“Vitoria was great. Minnie can be quite shy with people she doesn’t know but she took a very quick liking to Vitoria, immediately demanding cuddles! Vitoria was very punctual every day, provided us with timely updates, pictures and videos, and was very kind throughout the process. We will definitely book her again.”
“We’ve moved to Kent from London recently and we have been looking to find someone new to look after our 2 whippets whenever we have to leave for a few hours. Antoinette was great and kept us up to date with how it all went! The dogs seem to love her which is a must of us ☺️”
“Sevinj was an absolute star with our sweet Poppy! She took really good care of her while we were away. We contacted her with very short notice, she was super flexible and helpfu. She sent us lots of videos and photos and she’s was super sweet. We definitely recommend her and we will be booking her again in future for sure! Thank you Sevinj, absolute star 💖”
About: Not only do I have a 6 year old labradoodle back home in California but I also love walking, playing, and running with all pets. I'm a responsible solicitor who effectively manages my time and I have the experience in multiple corporate and customer service industries to manage a variety of tasks including the management of a children's summer camp. I can provide references if necessary and have experience both house sitting pets and taking care of multiple animals for extended periods of time. I know a lot about dogs and animals in general. I'm very attentive and will be accommodating to whatever your needs are for your individual pet. Salary for each task is also negotiable. Thank you.
About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and I used to live in Spain before coming here. Here in London I have taken care of two of my friends' cats and the dog of a third friend when they have gone on holidays. I have stayed at their houses as is easier for the pet to feel safe and at ease, I have made sure that they are feed, change the cats sand and taken the dog on walks and to the park to play. I am currently working 2–3 days a week in the mornings, up to 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, or 2:30 PM per day in retail, and three evenings a week as a childminder from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM (sometimes 5:30 PM). I am always free one whole day per week (mostly Tuesdays), most evenings, and Saturday afternoon. First of all, I make sure to follow all the instructions that the owner gives me. I keep an eye on anything they can eat and I play with them.
The median cost per Visit for cat sitting in London is £14

Claire did a really good job with both my cats, they absolutely adored her! Claire always communicated with me well and sent lots of pictures. Usually they're extra needy when I'm gone for a long time but this time they were more relaxed, a good sign that they got enough attention while I was away.
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From start to finish Tracy made the process very easy, which was great as I always feel a little anxious leaving my boys! She gave detailed updates and sent photos which was very reassuring. I highly recommend Tracy and will definitely be booking again when needed!
Lauren is honestly the best cat sitter I could ask for! 🥹❤️ She is so caring, trustworthy and genuinely loves animals, and I always feel completely at ease knowing my cat is with her. She goes above and beyond , she keprs me updated, sent photos and gave him so much love and attention. It’s obvious that she really cares about the cats she looks after, rather than just seeing it as a job. I honestly couldn’t recommend Lauren highly enough. She’s absolutely fantastic and I wouldn’t want anyone else looking after my cat! 🐾
We felt completely at ease leaving our four cats with Nuray, and she exceeded our expectations. She kept us regularly updated with photos and videos, played with them, and handled their different routines with real care — including keeping our two boys and two girls separate at mealtimes. Geo and Happy are especially skittish with new people, so it meant a lot to see how relaxed and comfortable they were with Nuray. She has such a naturally calm, gentle energy with animals. We came home to four very happy, chilled-out cats and a beautifully cared-for home. Everything had been left clean and tidy, and she’d remembered all the little details we’d asked for. Nuray genuinely went above and beyond, and we’ll absolutely be asking her to look after them again. We’d recommend her in a heartbeat. ❤️🐾
Polina took care of my 2 boys for 4 days with drop in visits everyday. She’s been very nice and caring to them, I was positively surprised how happy they were to see her everytime she sent pictures from ver visits. She’s been very responsive and easy to communicate as well. I will definitely choose her as my first option to look after my cats when I travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in London on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 9,022 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in London. About 90% of London 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. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
