“Very grateful that Emily was able to look after my cat on such short notice. She was very communicative throughout the process, and I felt like my little one was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Emily as a sitter!”
“When I returned from my holiday, I was very happy to see that my cats had been very well looked after by Jenny. She had done a very good job with two rather shy cats. Everything was as it should have been and my cats were happy and contented. I would certainly choose Jenny again. She did a very good job. Thank you.”
“Anjeza has been brilliant with our cat Pepsi over the Christmas period. We were really nervous using a cat-sitter, but Anjeza was really communicative, which put us at ease really quickly. We looked forward to each Rover card, as it was clear our girlie was getting a lot of care and attention in our absence. In most pictures, Pepsi was curled up in Anjeza's lap - which I think speaks for itself!”
“Teodora has completed several drop-in visits and is absolutely fantastic. Daisy loves when Teodora’s drops by and I also really enjoy getting the videos and photos Teodora kindly sends. I cannot recommend Teodora enough, she is brilliant! 😊”
“Tay was fantastic with Wogan! She was really easy to communicate with and really friendly when she came around before my trip, which put me at ease. While I was away, she sent lots of pictures and videos, and Wogan seemed very happy with her. Would absolutely book again, and recommend to others!”
“Emily came for a visit to meet Griff a week before she had to sit him and made a really great first impression. She was really comfortable with Griff who can be a bit jumpy when new people first arrive. Over the weekend Emily was great with keeping us up to date with summaries and photos, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use Emily again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend”
About: I’m a trusted & experienced dog sitter in NR3, offering home boarding, doggy day care, walks & drop-in visits. I’ve cared for dogs for years-from energetic puppies to senior and anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance. I adapt to each dog’s personality, whether that’s playtime, structure, or calm companionship. I provide a safe, loving home with a secure garden, plenty of attention, regular updates so you can relax while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like part of the family - safe, happy & genuinely cared for. I make pet care a natural part of my daily routine, ensuring every animal I look after receives consistent attention, affection, and a calm, caring environment. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize each pet’s individual needs and routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I care for pets as if they were my own, keeping to their usual routines so they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and companionship, always adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I value simplicity, love, and connection, and my goal is always to make every pet feel happy, relaxed, and truly cared for while you’re away.
“This is the first time we have tried a drop in visit, Andrea is lovely, very accommodating and we came home to a very happy dog. Would absolutely book Andrea again. Thank you!”
“My dog Spike is quite nervous and needs a slow, careful introduction to new people. From the very start, Electra knew exactly how to approach him—with patience, calm energy, and experience. It was clear that she understands dogs deeply, especially those like Spike who need a little extra care. Electra has had many rescue dogs of her own, so she’s well aware of the unique challenges they can bring. That experience really showed in how quickly she built trust with Spike. They bonded beautifully, and I could see how happy he was to see her! She’s reliable, kind, and truly someone I feel completely safe leaving Spike with. When I came home, he looked calm, content, and very well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone like Electra!”
“My first experience with a catsitter and Jo was everything I was expecting and more! Instantly put my mind at ease knowing that my cats were in safe hands, great daily updates and great communication. Will definitely rebook if you're available next time I go away :) Thank you Jo!”
“Steffi was brilliant with lumi and communication was excellent. Keeping me informed everyday and let me know how she was doing. She took great care in understanding. Lumi's food requirements before the booking which definitely put my mind at ease .”

About: Fully Insured Pet Sitter & Cleaner with a Clean Enhanced DBS Hi, my name is Stacy. I'm 40 years old and a proud mum to two amazing sons, Mason (21) and Zach (18). My son Mason lives in York and I'm looking to do a paid petsit whilst also spending some time with him/his partner. Over the past 12 months, I've been caring for pets and homes across the UK and overseas. What started as a way to experience new places soon became something I genuinely fell in love with. There's nothing more rewarding than giving pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their beloved animals are happy, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. As a result, I recently launched my business, Homes & Pets, offering reliable pet sitting services alongside Home Reset support for people who may be feeling overwhelmed by household tasks, life changes, busy schedules, or simply need an extra pair of hands to get their home back on track. I am fully insured, hold a clean Enhanced DBS certificate, and take great pride in being trustworthy, caring, and respectful of both people's homes and their pets. Whether you're heading away on holiday, need someone to care for your pets, or would like support creating a calmer, more organised living space, I'd love to help. I am a 40 year old Mum to Mason (21) and Zach (18). I am looking for a cat sit in York as a way to see my son Mason and his lovely partner, Saffire. I'm a fully insured petsitter with an enhanced DBS. My son Mason lives in York for Uni. I was recently made redundant and so visiting him has proven difficult. I am looking for low maintenance cat sits so that I can explore, and if possible, where my son and his partner can come for dinner in the evenings. I have been petsitting around the UK and overseas for the last 18 months as a way to travel. I am happy to share my DBS check and my insurance details for your reassurance. I will take care of your home as if it was my own and give updates as regularly as you wish. My only request is that there are no cameras inside the home as I personally find this intrusive. of course, outdoor cameras are no problem. I am reliable, responsible and an excellent communicator.
“Cathy looked after my cat for a few days over Christmas. She is a reliable and conscientious sitter who obviously loves animals, going out of her way to make my cat happy, and me informed of my cat’s happiness. Highly recommend Cathy for all Norwich based, pet related roles and wouldn’t think twice to ask her to do the same in the future.”
About: I have always been obsessed with dogs from since I can remember and we got a family dog of our our just over 4 years ago. Murphy (the cocker spaniel) is now such a loveable member for our family! He loves long walks in the park/ forests. I grew up having hamsters. And would often look after family and friends dogs for them. Since moving to Norwich for work (and moving out of my family home) I’m missing constantly living with my furry friend. I go back as much as I can to visit him but I thought why not combine a love of mine to care for some more furry friends! I work as a youth mental health worker so I have full DBS and I drive! I am available for boarding, walks and check ins on weekends (Friday to Sunday). Mondays I work from home so I can do drop ins or walks in my lunch break. I can also do any evenings from 5:30pm. Message me for £15 off any booking for new rover customers! I am currently not offering for pets to stay at mine as I rent. But would love to in the future when living arrangements suit it!
“Karl did an awesome job of looking after our young puppy, Spira. He was really friendly and playful and did a great job of managing Spira's puppy biting and separation anxiety, and even managed to induce some nap time! We would definitely use Karl again.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was about 7, when we got our first rescue dog (King Charles Cavalier x Cocker Spaniel). I have always loved dogs and wanted to be involved in taking care of our pets. Later on we got two more rescues (Border Collies) and I had to learn how to make them feel safe and happy. Over the years I have spent lots of time taking care of them and taking them on walks. I have also fostered a dog while looking for its new home and taken care of my neighbours and friend’s dogs while they are away. I am currently working part time but I am looking to make this my full time job so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My current job is also very flexible so I am able to work around it easily. Everyone has their own rules for their pets and I would like to help you stick to those rules or training for your dog so whatever your pet needs let me know and I’m happy to help.

Mushroom was really well looked after. For a really shy cat Clare helped her feel comfortable and got to the point of wanting fusses and to play. We got lots of lovely video and photo updates. It was very nice to come home to a cat who clearly wasn’t at all stressed
I’m so glad we chose Tay to look after our cat Madam whilst we were away. She sent lots of updates and photos which put us at ease as we knew Madam was in good hands and getting everything she needed. Madam is usually quite shy and nervous of new people but had plenty of cuddles with Tay which says a lot. Thank you so much!
Leanne was a brilliant cat sitter! She seems to have a way with cats, as our usually shy girl with strangers warmed to her instantly. We got daily updates and felt confident knowing she was being looked in on by Leanne. Thank you for making our first trip away from our girl so easy. We would deffo use her again.
Sarah is an absolute gem of a sitter and I can’t rate her high enough, She went over and above to help with other issues , and my cats, although timid at first , warmed to her throughout the week. Daily photos received and I will definitely be a returning customer x
Olivia was amazing with our dog Ani. I was really worried as Ani does get anxious when we all leave her. However, Olivia made her feel so comfortable that she accepted her like another member of our family and does did her normal of disappearing upstairs to sleep on our bed. I would highly recommend Olivia who is a lovely kind caring sitter.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Norwich choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
