About: Hi my name is Olivia and I live with my partner James in Morden. We absolutely love dogs and hope to get one of our own some day, but for now I'm looking to put my dog care experience to good use, and would love to look after your pet for you! Whilst I'll be the main carer, James has also spent lots of time with dogs and so is often on hand for extra cuddles and playtime too. I had a black labrador as a child so have been around dogs from a young age. Since then I have regularly looked after dogs for friends and family. I regularly looked after a friends dog with seperation anxiety, keeping them company and being a calming influence whilst the owners were at work. I've also cared for other peoples dogs through the likes of Borrow my Doggy and Trusted House Sitters. I am experienced in feeding, walking and entertaining dogs. I would always follow your instructions and their routine. I work quite flexibly. I work part time and am also a part time PhD student. I work from home and have a flexible schedule on my PhD days to accommodate your schedule. On weekends and evenings my partner James is also around and tends to help me out with any pets in our care. I have an enclosed garden so your dog can go outside safely. I am happy to accommodate your dog as best I can so just let me know what they need. I live very close to Morden Hall Park as well as lots of other green spaces and so would be sure to take your dog out for a walk(s) as needed throughout the day.
“Booked Hannah for a 60 minute drop in and she did a fantastic job. I got a very detailed note of her time with Coco which was lovely. They went for a nice walk and then played and had cuddles. Hannah is very professional and I highly recommend her. I will be booking her in again soon. Thank you for looking after my Coco.”
“Katie was so good with Milo and Pixie, they really enjoyed spending time with her every day. We were also kept informed and had photo updates. Katie went above and beyond when she had car trouble and still made it to see the kitties 🤩”
“Ariana was great, she kept us informed and updated about Marney throughout and seemed to form a good bond with her even though she can be fussy. We would definitely recommend.”
“Karie was amazing with my two cats! Very responsive, attentive and generous with her time. She looked after Belino and Drax for 2 weeks whilst I was away and I was reassured they were having the best time. Karie too her time to play with the cats, give them cuddles, brush and of course feed them. Always updating me with great photos! I came back to two relaxing boys 🥰”
“Ellen did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. She was reliable, communicative, and sent us a photo from every visit. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet and felt very comfortable knowing Ellen was looking after everything. We’d happily book with her again!”
“Vilma looked after our cat Loki and we couldn’t have been happier. She was prompt, kept us regularly updated with messages and photos and her and the cat got on incredibly well. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Georgia was brilliant with our cat. She was attentive and saw to Esther's needs while we were away. Communication was great received videos and photos every day. Our cat was very happy upon our return.”
“Chuiwu was wonderful looking after my cat while I was away. She was very communicative, and sent me so many pictures and videos of my cat which made me feel so relaxed that she was in good hands. I would highly recommend her, and will be using her in the future!”
“Sebastian was great with our pup Tikka and flexed the time too to come a bit earlier which was much appreciated! He was happy to chat before coming which was great and spent an hour playing with her and keeping her company. Would recommend Sebastian!”
“Marina was great with Flash - she sent us lots of lovely photos and videos during her drop in visits, and picked up on Flash's habits or when something potentially seemed out of the ordinary. From the photos and videos provided, it seemed that Flash was very happy indeed :) We would not hesitate to recommend Marina for looking after any of your fur babies.”
“We have booked with Clara many times before, and this time was no exception - she is wonderful with the cats and keeps us in the loop with good communication and plenty photos! Always at ease while we're away on holiday :)”

Daiane was so great with our cats! Her communication was really good, she came around to meet the boys and took great notes on everything needed. One of our boys is usually very shy but was really comfortable around her straight away which was really cute and reassuring. She left us great updates and pics from the visits and I could tell when I got home the boys had been looked after very well. Highly recommend Daiane and I will definitely be booking her again!
My cat was very relaxed with Jane, who spent time brushing her and giving her lots of attention. Jane sent me regular photos and updates which I found very reassuring and delightful seeing my cat so chilled while I was away. I would definitely book Jane again!
Claire was amazing, great updates and photos every visit. You could tell she took extra time to play and brush our cat so he felt cared for! Plus she was really great with last minute requests like extending the visits and helping us with some extra tasks. 100% would recommend!!
Roberta is simply the best cat sitter. She took excellent care of our 2 cats while we were away for 5 days. She went above and beyond and kept us up-to-date with everything going on. She is very communicative, trustworthy and clearly adores cats. We would 100% recommend Roberta and would certainly book again the next time we're heading out of town.
Joana was perfect for our needs. With her background as a vet nurse and love for cats, she was very comfortable with our 2 bengals and they took to her really well. She also helped look after the plants and keep the house safe while we were away. I received daily updates and when the food nearly ran out she sorted it out. Best decision ever and I’d definitely use her again.
Anna went above and beyond in taking care of our cat. Dulcie can take a while to warm up to sitters, and can be difficult in taking her round-the-clock medications with a new person. Anna communicated clearly, sent pictures and videos, and made sure Dulcie was ok when she vomited straights after meds. She asked and followed our vet protocols for this case and even checked on her during lunch break that day to ensure she didn't vomit again. We were anxious leaving Dulcie due to previous past experiences, but Anna reassured us and we return home to a healthy kitty.
Excellent cat sitter! Milo seemed relaxed, happy and well taken care of when we returned. David also sent messages and photos which gave us peace of mind. I’d happily book them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.
Helen was amazing. She was friendly, reliable, and fantastic with dogs showing real care and patience throughout the day. Great communication and a positive attitude made everything run smoothly. I'd happily work with Helen again and would highly recommend her to other pet owners and sitters.
Poppy and Cleo couldn’t be in better hands during my holiday than with Ally. She is a highly responsible, easy-going and communicative girl. During my time away I got a lots of pictures showing the good time my kitties were having with her. I will definitely rebook with Ally next time I need a sitter for the kitties. 10/10 🐱!
Heidi was very responsive and helpful, my cat was unwell while I was away which has never happened to me before, but Heidi was very communicative and did her best to help until I got back, which was much appreciated! Hopefully she can watch Coco again when Coco is feeling better!
Emily was wonderful with Tao! Tao is usually a shy kitty, but she even greeted Emily at the door, which says so much about how comfortable she made her feel. The photo updates gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear from every picture how happy and relaxed Tao was. I'm so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would happily book with Emily again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Merton on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of August 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 8,507 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Merton. About 90% of Merton 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
