About: I have experiences of a whole variety of pets. I’ve been around dogs since I was a small child and have walked and sat for: beagles, labradors, west highland terriers, Irish terriers, schitzus, spaniels, schnauzers, sheep dogs, and the list goes on! I have two cats of my own who are beautiful (but obviously I’m biased!). They’re Siamese x ragdoll so very chatty and very needy. They can do lots of tricks including sit, spin, stand, paw, fist bump… I’ve certainly put my psychology training to good use! I’ve also had cats all my life so I’m very familiar with this, too, whether that’s indoor cats or outdoor cats! I also have lots of experience with pet rats as well as chinchillas and have regularly house sat and done check ins for these animals too :) I nearly always work from home and love the company of pets for house sitting, but also love to get out and go for walks - even better if I can do that with a dog or cat! I have experience of a whole variety of different environments and animals. I’ve worked with dogs who get on well with other dogs and also hate other dogs, and also dogs with anxiety and who are very nervous. I’ve also looked after both indoor and outdoor cats in a variety of settings so can easily adapt to you and your pets needs as you see fit :)
“Andreia was absolutely brilliant. She really gave me peace of mind when looking after my cat. It’s obvious that she really loves animals and that she cares how they are doing. She was on time, had very open and regular communication, always uploaded pictures, played and spent time, and let me know when any issues came up. She had absolutely everything under control and was super kind when I needed to make a last minute change. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s absolutely the best!”
About: I like to board animals from one household at a time, providing a luxury service that your pet/pets will appreciate and love! All dogs that had been sharing their days with us, repeat the experience and wag their tails every time they come back! We have the best reviews on Facebook too! After studying animal management and dog-feline behaviour, I worked for many years with big cats as an ecologist. Since then, I worked in different areas of animal welfare feral animals and my favourite; wildlife rehabilitation. I have many years of experience caring for various species while working in the RSPCA and as part of other NGOs around the globe. For the past few years, I have been teaching about animal welfare, animal husbandry and ecology. My expertise focuses on behaviourally challenged cats and dogs as well as caring for different species and life stages (puppy to geriatric) and specific medical conditions (administration of medication). I love meeting the owners and the animals first to break the ice and make a connection! I work from home so, I have plenty of time for socialising and playing outdoors and a lot of love, care and fuss for your babies😍. I have a huge garden where we exercise from the geriatric dogs to the most active ones. This is needed, as we do not let any dogs off the lead when we take them for long walks, for security reasons.
About: I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was 3 years old. I currently have a 9 year old terrier with old lady back legs and a 1 year old dachshund. I also have 3 cats, 2 boys and a girl. I am offering a dog walking service or pop in visits to your home to check on your cats/dogs whilst you are away. I have many years of pet ownership experience and hold an animal first aid certification. I work predominantly from home, our back doors are open on sunny days and animals are able to access my secure garden at their leisure. I live in a beautiful Nottinghamshire village with multiple country walks on our doorstep. My garden is an acre of lawn and orchard. My animals have full access was to our home. My garden is secure. I have a 9 year old terrier and two cats in my home. Daily walks and lots of cuddles are a must. I have a local vet in the village should your fur baby need anything during their stay.
“Lucy was absolutely amazing! Helped out at short notice with no hassle or problems. Got back from holiday and the girls looked happy, chilled and well looked after. Thank you so much, Lucy! We will definitely ask for your help in the future if you’re free xx”
About: I used to do agility training with my older dog. I'm also used to dealing with nervous dogs, who sound aggressive. I've helped in training my dogs for commands like sit, along with teaching them to move out of way and some tricks such as paw. I'm currently studying a full time uni course, with in person lectures on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I have a lot of availability to take care of your dogs I will communicate well with the owner and follow their guidance by asking how they take care of their pet and replicate that because every pet is different. I will walk the dog on the lead, unless I am certain it will come back to me and I am in an enclosed area.
About: At the dog shelter, I would walk, feed and groom the dogs. I would also spend time with the dogs in their kennels, whilst cleaning their kennels. I’m looking for a side hustle, since at the moment it’s quite difficult finding a part-time job. So my schedule is very flexible and free. I love spending time with any animals, especially dogs, and I enjoy playing with them and trying to teach them new tricks. I’m not easily frightened by dogs and I can understand when a dog needs space, food or a walk.
About: I've always loved animals, and am an ex-zookeeper who specialised in large hoofstock. I have a lot of experience with smaller animals too, I volunteered for 18 months with a rabbit rescue centre, a year with the Blue Cross volunteering in their cattery and I've previously walked dogs and done some dog sitting casually and as a short term job. I have a degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and as part of my degree I learnt a lot about companion animal behaviour, and have done some dog training before. I have also done a lot of positive reinforcement training at work, though with a lot bigger animals! I'm a reliable, responsible and friendly person who is well organised and loves animals. I would love to look after your dog, cat, rabbit or smaller/larger pet! I'm currently free all the time, in September I will be starting a Masters degree and will have to work around lectures, though will only be at University for two days a week. I am a very reliable and responsible person, who takes the safety and health of pets very seriously. I am used to doing constant checks of animal health and wellbeing as part of my job. I love to spend time with animals and enjoy playing with all types of pets.
About: 🐾 I'm a genuine dog lover who has grown up around dogs my whole life, so I'm very comfortable caring for them and understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. 🐾 I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. Whether they love energetic adventures or a gentle stroll, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they have a great time. 🐾 I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Along with walks, I'm always happy to provide lots of fuss, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and companionship to help them feel relaxed and loved. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide your dog with the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love being outdoors and regularly go on walks, so your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air, and companionship. Whether it's a longer countryside walk or a stroll around the local area, I'll make sure they're happy, active, and well looked after throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home provides a welcoming, relaxed environment where they can feel at ease during their stay. I also have a fully fenced garden, giving dogs a secure outdoor space to stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air under supervision. Whether they're relaxing indoors or exploring the garden, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for throughout their stay.

We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Knowing Tia and Blue were so well looked after while we were away getting married gave us complete peace of mind. We loved receiving the updates, and it was clear they were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of them—we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone and will definitely be booking again!
Thank you Rory for looking after Tage & Trixie so well. Lovely updates and pics during his care and when we returned the girls didn’t seem to have noticed we’d been away - always a great sign! Rory is very conscientious and goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Rory and have him back to sit for us any time.
Ava is very friendly and Felix took to her straight away. He seemed happy and well when we got home so obviously enjoyed his time with Ava. She kept in touch and sent photos which was really nice, I never had any concerns. She also left everything clean and tidy which was lovely and appreciated. I will definitely ask for her next time we go away.

There are 565 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Newark . About 90% of Newark 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.

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. 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.
