About: My name is Ella. My husband Steven and I have been pet sitting for over seven years with many satisfied owners who have asked for repeat sittings. - Experienced with cats and dogs. - We have always been commended on how clean we leave the owners' houses while pet sitting. - Regular updates available including photos. - Flexible availability, my husband is self employed and is on hand to help if needed. - My eldest daughter is a vet nurse and is always available on the phone if there are any issues. - Neither of us smoke or vape. We are looking to care for pets locally in the Northumberland area. We are currently renting so we are unable to have pets of our own, sadly! 😢 We are looking forward to meeting all your delightful fur friends! 🐾🐾 If pet sitting in your home we will need to bring our 16 year old daughter. She has done all our sits with us and is an animal lover who is comfortable with both dogs and cats. I'm a stay at home wife/mum to a teenager. My husband is self employed and often working from home. I love being at home but I'd like something to do while he's working on projects. I find myself happier in the company of animals than people 🙈 I like to keep busy and enjoy going for walks and reading in my spare time. I have done pet sits in so many different homes. I will treat your pet and home as I would my own. I'm very house proud and proud of the reviews we've had from previous pet owners. I'm very flexible and just want your fur baby to be happy so whatever they need is no problem.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember, labs, boxers, pointers, golden doodles. I currently own a small sprocker called Daisy, she’s a typical mischievous spaniel! We had all those dogs from pups, so know how to look after young dogs as well as old dogs, our labs lived to be 15! I’m currently working from home, as is my husband. I love it as it means I get to spend more time with Daisy! But I’m home every day, and my husband is home 3 days a week :) We have a large garden which runs around the house, it is completely fenced off and safe. If Daisy the spaniel hasn’t found a way out I’m not sure any dog will! There’s lots of plants and hiding spots for sniffing!
“Louisa looked after our cat for 9 days and was great, very reliable, trustworthy, formed a close bond with our cat, helped with watering whilst we were away and we would very much recommend her and hope that she will catsit for us again in the future. Thank you so much ”

“What can I say? Yasmin is truly a 10/10 find on here! Such a lovely person that sent me constant updates and pictures of my two cats whilst I was away. Followed instructions perfectly and never gave me any worries! True peace of mind! I think the cats were even a little upset when I arrived back 😂”

“I cant recommend Jade highly enough. She was absolutely amazing with bubbles and he adored her. She kept me up to date with photos and videos of his little antics which really put my mind at rest. Nothing was too much trouble and she completely understood how much your pet means to you and how much you worry about them when your away. Will definitely be using Jade again.”


“Beth was amazing. She did a great job with Merlin my elderly cat. She did a wonderful job looking after him and sent pics and videos which gave me peace of mind which meant I could relax and enjoy my break knowing Merlin was well cared for. Merlin can be wary of strangers but was very comfortable with Beth. Will definitely book again with Beth.”


“Anne-Marie was brilliant from start to finish. Quick to respond and very good at communicating with us day to day. We were safe in the knowledge our cats were being taken care of. Would definitely use again. Thanks Anne-Marie!”

“Eva was absolutely fantastic looking after my Sphynx cat, Chanel, for three nights. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving Chanel in her care. Eva kept me updated throughout the stay with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. It was obvious that Chanel was happy, relaxed and receiving lots of love and attention. Eva took excellent care of everything, leaving my home spotless and making sure Chanel had everything she needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Eva is kind, reliable, professional and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would recommend her without hesitation and will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much, Eva!”


About: I’ve had the joy of loving my Labrador Zeus since 2012, right up until 2024 when he sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer. I’m joining Rover as a dog walker/carer because I miss my best friend Zeus and I want to continue giving other dogs the same love I gave to Zeus. For my current circumstances, I have recently adopted a cat in 2025, so I now have experience of caring for both cats and dogs. I currently work full time on a weekly rotating schedule e.g. one week early shifts then next week lates. I work 5 days a week with 3 days off, rotating again e.g. one week working Mon-Fri then off Sat-Mon, then working Tue-Sat then off Sun-Tues. I will respect owners’ instructions in their homes e.g. crating rules or times, not going into/letting their pets in certain rooms of the house.

About: i’ve grown up all my life with cats, i worked in a cat cafe in newcastle for nearly 2 years and helped find forever homes for each cat after the cafe closed. my older sister has two dogs, one small and one large and i often take them for walks and dog sit them! I love animals and am more than happy to meet new furry friends and take care of them whenever needed :) i currently work part time and i am off uni for the summer so besides occasional concerts i will have a lot of time to spend with your kitties/doggies. i will only ever accept to take care of them on days where i will have the whole day free to spend time with them to ensure they get the best care and attention they deserve! i want them to feel as safe as possible, i will only approach them when it’s clear they are comfortable, i go outside with them to always keep my eyes on them and i make sure they are well fed!
“Craig was great - he was really communicative and kept us updated, with daily pictures and clear updates on our cat, helping to keep us reassured. He was friendly and our pet took to him straight away. Would recommend and would definitely use his services again!”


“Tasha was great looking after our cat recently. Our cat is quite shy but took to Tasha straight away. Tasha had a lot of patience ensuring our cat came back home in the evening when he was quite naughty and took a while to come back. Would definitely recommend!”

I currently own a gorgeous black Labrador called Rex I’m free most weekends for drop in visits or evening visits, perfect if your out for the day! I can do multiple check ins or walks when your out My lab is sometimes lead reactive when meeting new dogs so I am very limited to caring for dogs when I have Rex, unless we arrange to meet and the dogs got used to each other over time I do work full time Monday-Friday, so can discuss daily arrangements to suit you. I have a fenced yard and fenced garden to keep dogs safe. I live local to a park for some lovely walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Northumberland on Rover is £12 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £20 per Visit.
sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 312 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Northumberland. About 91% of Northumberland 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.
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.
