“Our cat is very wary, touching on the neurotic, but Leanne managed to get close to her and she was much more relaxed when we got home than she normally is. For any cat owners I would certainly recommend Leanne”
“Dawn is truly exceptional! Her loving and caring nature shone through when she went the extra mile for us. She successfully medicated our cat, who isn't the most compliant patient, twice a day for 10 days straight, even when he put up a fight. Five stars are probably not enough!”
About: I have grown up on the farm surrounded with cats, dogs, chicken, goose and other farm animals since I was little. Cats and other pets are best companions. I have got two cats Luna and Sansa. I work during day time so could drop in to feed cats before or after work. If preferred, can do both- in the morning and evening. I would prefer to look after the pets at owner's house as not sure how my cats react if it would be at my place. DBS (previously known as CRB) checked, insured. I could make visits before or after my work or both if required. I am off work weekends. If not sure, welcome to ask any questions. As there are two cats in my own house and unsure of their reaction on new pets in the house, would prefer to look after in cats owners house.
About: Growing up woth working dogs has led to me being experienced in all manners of high energy dogs. I myself grew up with a pointer and a Spaniel, both of whom needed hour long walks and lots if enrichment, which are both things that I'd be happy to offer potential customers. I love all dogs and aren't as weak as I look so don't be afraid to enquire if you have a large breed! I also live with a cat who is kept enriched and loved, so would be very happy to offer walks for cats as well as dogs. I work full time as a dog welfare assistant at dogs trust but will be available most evenings and all day Saturday and Sundays. I'm also happy to house sit during my work week for dogs or cats that are able to be left for a few hours. I will care for every pet left in my care as if it's my own, but will of course refer to any and all instruction given by the owner.
“Phoebe was lovely, arriving on time each day and sorting out our cats food requirements with ease Each day she spent time with our cat, giving her the opportunity to play. Our cat is very scared of new people but did warm up to Phoebe”
“Sarah and my cat got on famously and Sarah sent me twice daily photos and updates. Sarah went above and beyond whilst I was away by taking Barbs to the vets outside of our original arrangement as my daughter was unable to take her. I would highly recommend Sarah to care for your pet”
“Tehya was wonderful with Callie! We needed help last minute and she was great with replying and helping us out! She sent plenty of pictures and updates of how she was getting on with Callie which put my mind at ease - will definitely use Tehya again in the future 🥰”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and cats). I’ve had dogs since I was 9 years old (a lovely English Springer Spaniel) and a very boisterous Cocker Spaniel named Lola.

I’m very attentive to a pet’s behaviour and body language and will always act quickly if something seems off. I also keep owners regularly updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident and relaxed while their pet is in my care.
About: As a freelance professional and digital creator, I work mostly from home, which gives me incredible flexibility. This means my daily and weekly schedule is naturally perfect for pet sitting, and your cat will rarely be left alone. For me, safety and trust are the absolute foundations of pet sitting. Having recently lost my own beloved cat to old age, I deeply understand how precious these family members are and how much anxiety comes with leaving them behind. I treat every pet with the same devotion, vigilance, and tenderness as I did my own.
“Lucy has been great at communicating and made time for a home visit before the sit. She kept us updated on Bluebell and left our home clean and tidy. We will definitely contact Lucy when we need a sitter in future!”

There are 806 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Melton. About 92% of Melton 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.
