“Alex is wonderful! She was so attentive and caring with our Labrador and took the time to meet us before hand to talk through what we needed and ti meet Parker. We will absolutely Alex again. 😊”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life, from hamsters to cats, and more recently I grew up with two lovely black labradors - Charley and Flo. Flo is still bouncing around at the age of 12 and does come for a sleepover now and then, but I do miss having dogs around so am keen to share my love for animals with others. Whether its a walk around the block or staying over I would love to help out. I fit my schedule around what is best for your dog as I know many have their preferred routine. Whether that’s walking at certain times or eating at 3pm on the dot! Your dog will feel like it is at home. With toilet breaks around the clock and being played with to keep them entertained along with lovely long walks in the local green spaces, I will do my utmost best to make sure they are happy.
“Sophie looked after our cat Otis whilst we were away on holiday. She gave us regular updates and really made an effort to spend time with him as he is a very shy cat. I would highly recommend Sophie and would quite happily re-book in the future”
“Corinne was absolutely fantastic, clearly a dog lover and we felt very happy leaving our pup in her very capable hands. Definitely will use for the future without hesitation. Thank you Corinne.”
“Very professional. Sent lots of nice photos and videos and kept me informed throughout the day. Took the weather and time alone for Sandy into consideration. He was super calm and happy when I returned.”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Beagles, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, German Shepherds, border collies and Labradors. Through owning and walking dogs, I've learned how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and handle dogs calmly and confidently on walks. I also have experience preventing leash pulling and helping dogs stay focused and comfortable during walks. In addition to my hands-on experience, I've spent years learning about dog behaviour and training techniques through educational resources and dog rehabilitation programs. For the past two years, I've been the primary caregiver for my indoor domestic shorthair cat, who is now five years old. I handle all aspects of their daily care, including feeding, playtime, grooming, monitoring their wellbeing, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I always aim to provide patient, attentive, and loving care. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. As pet care is my main focus, I can accommodate a variety of walking, drop-in, and sitting requests. The only regular commitment I have is caring for my own cat in the evening, so I am available for most daytime and afternoon bookings. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and ensure pets receive reliable, attentive care. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and currently being the primary caregiver for my cat, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting each animal's individual personality and boundaries. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour to help pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. During walks, I ensure dogs remain safely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a secure, appropriate area. For home visits and pet sitting, I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and routines. I believe in providing a calm, positive environment where pets can feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have extensive experience handling, walking and often training dogs. I've worked with dogs full time in the past, and also volunteered with dogs in my spare time. I can handle dogs of all sizes, breeds and perspnalities, please don't hesitate to contact. I am working full time in emergency services, so my schedule is not regular. I use my spare time during the week and weekends to walk dogs, soemthing which I am passionate about and never get bored of! I am employed full time in emergency services. So my schedule is not a normal 9-5. I have days off during the week and sometimes weekend. Feel free to give me a message and I will inform you if I am available or not. I have a fenced medium sized garden. I have a house with plenty of space. There are also various green / forested areas nearby where we can walk.
“Holly is wonderful. Never have I seen my Poppy dog settle so quickly into somebody’s company. Holly is patient and kind with the dogs she take cares of and my fussy girl clearly feels very safe and happy in her care ❤️”
About: I have always had a passion for animals and began dog sitting for a family friend at their house 4 days a week from age 13 - 15. At 16 I began helping a dog walking business in which I would walk and visit dogs in my area. I also have completed work experience at a dog groomers as well as a dog daycare which i completed along side my animal management college course. I absolutely love all animals and currently have 3 cats of my own! I am currently available Monday- Friday, all hours of the day! I am available to pet sit at your home or take your pooch out for however long of a walk they need! Through communication we can figure out what is best for your pup. If they have particular routines or requirements in your home I will ensure to keep those in place. I would also like to meet you and your dog prior, just to ensure that I am the right fit for you!
About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy girl called Binky. I can’t walk past a cat in the street without kneeling down and psst pssting them for a cuddle. I have experience caring for dogs and frequently help out friends with drop ins and dog walks when needed. Your doggy can expect countryside walks and lots of fuss and attention. I’m currently on maternity leave so have a lot free time to care for your furry babies! I already spend a lot of time out walking so it would be great to have a furry companion and explore some different areas. I’m available for one off bookings or longer term arrangements depending on what you need. I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, which has taught me to how to adapt to the different needs of each breed/species! I‘ve always helped my family and friends with dog walking and have worked as a receptionist at a vets, meaning I come into contact with a large range of breeds daily! I spend everyday with my own animals and from 29th May 2026 I’ll be around to help Monday-Sunday! I’m an early riser and have a friendly Cocker Spaniel of my own if you want your dog to interact with mine! I like to be told the needs and wants from owners and their furry friends to make sure the visit/walk is as helpful as it can be!
About: I come from an animal loving family so I’ve grown up and have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages; playful puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and routine so they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible enough that I can give dogs the exercise and attention they need, and I’m just as happy spending quiet time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I am available weekdays and weekends. I also have access to a car so am reliable and prepared, even for same day bookings. I follow any instructions provided carefully, from feeding schedules to medication needs. I treat every home with respect and i send regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Once again, absolutely perfect. We're very apologetic about the dead bird but the picture of Riff Raff with his catch was adorable; he looked so proud! Jessica will be our first choice for any more cat sitting.”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - North Hertfordshire
Charlotte took excellent care of Gunter, Evie and Gus. We received lovely photo and video updates after every visit, in which you could tell the cats loved her. That's the biggest seal of approval! We came home to well-looked after and happy cats, so a massive thank you to Charlotte. We'd absolutely book her again for future holidays.
We used Holly for the first time recently for a long weekend where she looked after our two house cats. She was brilliantly attentive and saw to all of their needs. Both cats are very timid, but Holly took the time to reassure them and took photos of them in their regular hiding places to put our minds at ease. Lots of information in her updates…she clearly loves doing what she does. Would thoroughly recommend!
Lucie is amazing with our cats. Extremely loving and really bonded with them. She looked after them during the recent heat wave and went above and beyond keeping them cool and keeping me updated on how they were doing. We feel lucky to have her look after the cats as it's such a weight off our mind whilst away that they are so well cared for.
We’ve booked Sophie a number of times and she is a fantastic catsitter! She is highly reliable, thoughtful and has great communication. We especially appreciate all the (sometimes quite amusing) photos and it always looks like the cats are having a lot of fun. We definitely recommend and will be booking again :) Thank you!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in North Hertfordshire on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 6,008 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in North Hertfordshire. About 90% of North Hertfordshire 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.

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.
