I needed to go away at short notice to deal with a family emergency, and it was very reassuring to have Jason look after my cat as my cat already knew and liked him from a previous cat sitting period. I was getting my cat used to raw food and Jason was great at getting him to stick to that while I was away, and kept me updated regularly.

About: I've looked after small and large dogs including maltese, staffies and great danes - the most I've ever looked after in one go is five! I've done everything from bathing, meals and dietary requirements, activities (I have a massive park opposite my flat with lots of space for exercise) and enjoy being active myself. Plus, I've also looked after budgies and cats and a general all-round animal lover! I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Fridays so I can do some mid week house sitting and check ins and walks. I can do house sitting, walks and check ins on weekends too with a bit of notice - generally a couple of days ahead of time. I don't offer day care or boarding. For house sitting, walking and check ins, I can do feeding and food prep (just provide instructions if theres lots of steps or specific feeding and prep instructions), provide oral medication, generally mixed into food, and I love to play with pets and happy to do lots of walking. I currently have a few dogs that I routinely care for who like to have lots of playtime like fetch, tug, treat finding and puzzles as a few examples and regular walks. I have done a basic pet first aid course (please note that this isnt to replace proper vet care, but can assist in assessing incidents, recognise illness, provide early care prior to getting a vet). This includes, bleeding and bandaging, vomiting, heat stroke, bites, stings. Full information on this course is on the Animal Academy website. I have a current DBS check dated Jan 2024.

Terry is certainly an animal lover as my two dogs took to him straight away. Terry is very accommodating and takes loads of photos of the dogs while he visit and is very responsive. I would definitely recommend.

I'm very happy I found Lesley to look after my Princess Jazz when I'm away. Jazzy lost her brother and she's grieving, she doesn't like visitors much but Lesley was able to feed her from her hand the first time they met. I was amazed.

About: I have been caring for doggies since the age of 10, from small chihuahuas to big staffies, greyhounds and retrievers! I have my own two extremely sweet, loving and playful girls - Judy, and Ava that I’ve had since a pup. They are my babies, have been socialised plenty growing up and are amazing around other animals! They are the most welcoming when someone comes to stay! I have a huge garden for high energy furry ones, and a comfy sofa for the cuddlers so I can always balance on what they need especially if they have difficulty settling or get bored quickly! Having looked after many different doggies, I’ve had the amazing experience to meet so many dogs with different personalities! I’m fully flexible, ready to meet the needs of you and your doggies, whenever you need it 😊 I am a full time university student studying law, and I work part time at Lloyds bank 3 days a week where the rest of the time I’m at home or out with my doggies! My garden is all fenced around at almost 6ft high and big enough for large dogs to have a good run! I always let my girls out for a morning toilet and play around 8am followed by a walk to the park 2 mins away and breakfast when home and then some rest and cuddles on the sofa. By afternoon I usually like to take my girls to leyborne lakes, shorne country park and venture somewhere new! All doggies are allowed on furniture and can make noise, making sure they’re as comfy as can be! I can be fully flexible to your babies needs and their schedules as I want them to feel as at home as can be ❤️

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, I bring passion, patience, and genuine love for animals to every visit. From playful walks and cuddles to meal times and cozy snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s housesitting for friends, family, or through trusted pet services, I’ve built a reputation as a responsible, reliable, and attentive caregiver who truly understands the unique personality and needs of each animal. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority. I’ll keep tails wagging, purrs flowing, and owners at ease knowing their furry friends are in caring, capable hands. I'm self-employed running my own coaching business from home and have full flexibility and autonomy of my diary. I can work remotely from anywhere and currently, only have a handful of regular, commited client hours to cater for. This flexibility means I can be on hand to deliver attentive, dedicated time, focus and care to your pets. I love caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where they feel completely at ease. I always respect each pet’s space and boundaries, paying close attention to their body language so I can respond to their unique personalities, knowing whether they’re in the mood for play, cuddles, or some quiet time. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and enrichment for minimum disruption to them and helping them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. From keeping their home safe and tidy to giving them gentle attention and companionship, my goal is to build trust and make every pet feel loved, happy, and cared for.

About: I have cared for small and medium dogs (from very nervous to very energetic) through rover, including walking weekly and boarding for up to 10 days, I make sure to let the dogs out to potty every 1-2 hours and I typically walk them at 6/7am and around 5/6pm (during boarding). I am located near Gillingham high street, so the Great lines is on my doorstep. Drop me a text if you need a pet that requires walks/boarding/drop ins and I will let you know my availability as it may change weekly dependant on my uni schedule. I am currently studying for my Masters in Forensic Psychology, so I am at University two times a week. I am always happy to meet prior to booking, so that we can discuss your dog’s needs, their behaviour towards other dogs and their typical schedule. My busiest days are Thursday and Friday, so I typically get back at 7pm but I always make time for pets so that they can have one or two walks per day. Other than that my schedule is free so I can spoil your dog with attention and lots of play. In terms of boarding, I have a fenced garden so I can take dogs for regular potty breaks with no problem. I usually walk dogs twice a day. I make sure to play with the dogs and try to teach them new tricks, so don’t forget to bring their favourite ball/toy and other necessities like treats 😊 I like to educate myself on the best ways to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulation, whether that hiding treats in blankets or freezing carrots so your pet can work for their rewards. If there’s anything similar to this that you like to do with your dog, I am happy to take on new suggestions and try them out.

About: Hi. I’m keris. I have been an animal lover all my life. I studied animal care at college and have my own horse and 4 cats. Three are Maine coons. I used to dog sit 4 poodles regularly and I cat sit for 4 cats often too. I’m responsible, tidy and reliable. I work full time, Monday-Friday. 8-4:30 in Sidcup, because of my work I am DBS checked. I am also happy to cover this area. My schedule works better with cats sitting weekdays. And dogs over Friday-Sunday. If local to Sidcup I can pop in on my lunch times Monday-Friday. Our 4 cats get fed twice a day. Three are on raw. And one is on regular cat food. We also check the litter tray twice a day and remove any poo and wee with a full clean once a week. We have a water fountain for ours cats. Unfortunately my rescue isn’t that great with new cats so I am unable to offer home boarding.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently share my home with my own Labrador and Cavapoo, so I understand first-hand what different breeds and sizes need day to day, from a Lab's energy to a Cavapoo's smaller size and routine. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets, whether that's a quick check-in or a full house sit while they're away, and I know how much of a difference it makes for a pet to stay in their own home with their own routine rather than being uprooted. I have real experience with pets who need a bit more patience, including anxious or reactive dogs who need a calm, steady presence and clear boundaries rather than pressure. I'm comfortable reading body language and adjusting my approach so nervous pets feel safe rather than overwhelmed. I'm also confident with puppies and kittens, from basic house training and crate routines to gentle socialisation, and equally experienced with senior pets, including administering medication, managing mobility issues and keeping an eye out for changes that owners should know about. Whether it's a drop-in visit or a full house sit, you can expect close attention, honest updates and a pet who's genuinely cared for in the comfort of their own home. I work part-time at a preschool and always have a shift on Friday afternoons, so that slot is fixed, though I'll let you know in advance if I pick up any extra shifts that might affect availability. Outside of that, I'm flexible with timing and always aim to follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible. I offer morning, afternoon and evening drop-in visits, as well as overnight house sitting. I confirm exact visit times in advance and keep them consistent throughout the booking, which helps cats and dogs alike feel settled and secure, especially those who rely on a predictable routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly as provided and make sure doors, windows, gates and feeding areas are secure at all times. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment rather than being uprooted. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going while you're away.

About: I have a Foundation Degree in Animal Management. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs and cats as pets for most of my life. Petting sitting is my main focus, so I can devote plenty of time to looking after your pets, and my diary availability is fairly flexible. I am more than happy to look after your pet in their home environment, and can offer check ins during the day as needed, as well as ensuring they have access to outdoors and walks as needed.

About: Loving, reliable and active pet sitter 🐶🫶🏻 I’m Charlie, a friendly and reliable pet sitter based in Caterham. I genuinely love animals and want every pet I look after to feel happy, safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats throughout my life, including raising my own fox red Labrador from a puppy. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels, and I’m also experienced with administering medication when needed. I recently spent two weeks house sitting for two spaniels, looking after their daily routines, walks, meals and everything they needed while their owner was away. I really enjoyed it and would love to build on this experience through Rover. What you can expect from me 🐾 I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles, while keeping your pet’s usual routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m available for house sitting in your home, dog walks and drop in visits around Caterham and the surrounding areas. I work during the week but have flexibility around my working days, as well as availability in the mornings, evenings and weekends. I’ll always arrange a meet & greet beforehand so we can get to know each other, go through your pet’s routine and make sure I’m the right fit for you and your pet. I’d love to meet your furry family! 🐶🐱 For house visits and dog walks 🍃 I work full-time, so my availability is mainly evenings, weekends and when I’m able to work from home. For dog/house sitting 🏠 I am able to work remotely for long period of time if I have some warning to give to work. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine and make sure I can give them the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority. I’m responsible, attentive and will always follow your instructions around feeding, walks, medication and anything else they need. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and settled.

About: I've grown up with dogs, my dog as a teen was my best friend. We went everywhere together and she was always by my side, so I truly know how much a dog becomes part of a family and how much they mean to you. I've also had multiple rescue cats over 20 years, my current cat i found at 6 weeks old and hes now 10. Im always nervous to leave him so completely understand if you are too. 4 years ago I started looking after other people's dogs and soon gained regular dog sitting. I also took on 2 dogs as a temporary foster care while the owner was unwell. Taking care of dogs isn't just a job, it's a passion. At the moment im at home so can provide care for your pets majority of the day. Unfortunately due to having an elderly cat i can't accommodate any animals in my own home, but im more than happy to pet sit in the pets own home. I also have 2 children who loves animals just as much as i do, they've been taught how to take care of animals and know how to respect an animals boundaries. I currently have availability between 9 and 2 on weekdays without my children but if your pets are good with kids then these hours can be extended later and during weekends. My children absolutely adore animals and know how to care for them. Unfortunately due to having an elderly cat, I can't accept dogs into my home. I will follow any routine that your pet needs in your home, follow any guidance on how your dog is walked, personalities, etc. And I will take care of them just like I would my own.

About: I’ve loved cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a cocker spaniel who was my best friend for 14 years sparked my passion for pet care. Since then, I’ve happily cared for many dogs belonging to friends and family, and I’m currently a proud cat parent to two unique cats each with their own personalities, routines, and quirks. Whether it’s energetic walks, calm cuddles, or keeping up with feeding and medication schedules, I always adapt to whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and loved. I recently moved to Wainscott from Margate, and I’m really missing the joy of being around dogs every day! While I share my home with my two cats, I’d love to bring some tail wags and dog energy back into my life. I’m reliable, gentle, and genuinely enjoy building bonds with every animal I meet. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like part of the family. I work a 9–5 schedule with an hour lunch break, which gives me time for morning visits or walks before work, quick check-ins during lunch, and evening care after hours. I especially enjoy early morning walks - it’s one of my favourite ways to start the day! I’m available on weekends and can be flexible with timing outside of my work hours to make sure your pet gets the attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that includes feeding times, walks, medications, or specific house rules. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and needs, and I aim to build trust through calm, consistent care.

Thank you so much, Mandy, for dropping-in on Moomin for us! I had absolutely zero concerns with Mandy popping-in once a day while we were abroad to look after our cat for us. Mandy is very personable and trustworthy and I'd have absolutely no hesitation in asking her to drop-in for us again next time. The daily updates, including videos or photos, were superb and we felt confident that Moomin was looked after. Thanks again, Mandy.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Medway

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Medway on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 6,908 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Medway. About 90% of Medway 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:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
