“Alice provided outstanding care for our 9 year old Springerdor while we attended the 3 days of Folkeast Festival. She met us beforehand and noted carefully all our requirements for his care. Her daily reports were excellent and she was always responsive to any questions we had. She even said how good he was on the lead - he never is for us! We have no hesitation in giving her our highest recommendation and would love her to look after our boy again when we go to the festival in 2027.”
“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!”
About: I have many years experience working with animals: I was a veterinary receptionist for over 8 years and received training in greeting and soothing pets. I also worked as a professional dog walker for 2 years, doing group walks, solo walks, doggy daycare and puppy socialisation. I have owned cats most of my life and love them, and have a particular interest in dog behaviour. My canine first aid qualification has expired but the knowledge combined with my experience in the veterinary field gives me a well rounded knowledge on dog care and health. I am comfortable dealing with all pets, from small furries to large breed dogs, and am comfortable giving at home medical care such as tablets, supplements and injections. I currently work four days a week in 5 hour shifts in Norwich City. Depending on location I can provide a drop in part way through the day so pets are left for 2.5-3 hours at most but this would need to be discussed beforehand. I can work from home one day a week so can be flexible in being at home with your pet if discussed in advance. I am happy to come to your home, live by your rules and follow your pets routine. I am comfortable with anxious and reactive pets. I can give medications confidently, including injectable.
“Had such a brilliant experience with Leanna - looked after my cat with such great care and shared so many lovely updates with us whilst we were away on holiday. We had total peace of mind :) thanks Leanna!”
About: Hi, I'm August, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and welcomed my own pup into my life two years ago. Since then, I’ve been committed to learning more about training and behavior by taking classes, which has deepened my understanding of dogs' needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve had the pleasure of watching other people's dogs in both my home and theirs. I’m reliable, organized, and always punctual, ensuring your dog gets the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’m an active person who loves spending time outdoors, so whether your dog needs a brisk walk, playtime at the park, or just a little extra company, I’m happy to be there for them. Let’s make sure your dog feels right at home, even when you're away! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine as I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m able to accommodate different schedules for pickup, drop-off, and walks throughout the day. This allows me to spend quality time with your pet, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they need without rushing. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or sticking to feeding and medication schedules, I can adapt to what works best for you and your dog. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, I create a welcoming, secure environment where your dog is treated like family, ensuring they stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. When I care for pets in your home, I maintain consistency by following your instructions closely, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, or exercise. I make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, outdoor fun, and companionship, while keeping your home clean and respected throughout the stay.
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.
“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!”
“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”
“Was a last minute booking and teodora was really quick for confirming ☺️ first time using a cat sitter and will definitely book again. Really appreciated receiving photos and videos of the visit. The boys absolutely loved her”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 .”
“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!”
About: I am a perfect pooch pal and love to get down with the dogs. I am kind, affectionate and playful. I will take care of your dog’s needs and ensure that your beloved pet has the attention suited to their personality. I will adore your pets as much as you do. I am that random person that speaks to animals on the streets and will always give them the right attention. Although I haven’t had a dog of my own, I have been around various dog’s growing up including my favourite family dog’s Danny, a Chihuahua and Kaiser, a Doberman. I am a part-time working artist and mum, who likes to have a little roam every now and then. I am looking to interact with and walk some furry friends which will aid my journey and will add to theirs. Like any parent, we occasionally have time on our hands and whilst the kid is at school, I would like to play and add to my day. I will respect any home when entering and follow the instructions given. Your home will be treated with great care and loved like my own.
“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!”
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.”
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Norwich is £13

Leaving our cat is always a bit stressful, but Joanna completely took the worry out of our being away. Joanna is thoroughly reliable, attentive to feeding routines, and kept us updated with reassuring photos showing our cat was settled and happy. I’ll definitely be booking Joanna again.
Ellen has looked after my cats twice this month. My two cats are normally very shy around strangers but they comfortable enough with Ellen to wait for their food with her in the kitchen. She was prompt when messaging and made me feel confident that my cats were being well looked after while I was away. Thank you Ellen.
As always Imogen is a wonderful Dog sitter - she’s looked after Bertie since we got him at 8 months old and Bertie always gets excited to see her as well as seeming calm and happy with her. Imogen has been great and reliable, especially when needing last minute dog care and she communicates well throughout!
Hermione popped in to feed and spend some time with my cats, Elsa & Pebbles. She was absolutely wonderful to communicate with before the visit and kept us updated after her visit, including sending lovely photos. It was so reassuring to know they were being well looked after while we were away. Thank you so much, Hermione!
This is the first time we’ve used a cat sitter, We’re so lucky to have got Emma. She responded quickly to all our initial queries, she came and did the introduction and we couldn’t be more pleased with the way everything went with her. Emma gave us regular updates, taking extra care to leave more water in the hot weather. We can thoroughly recommend Emma and will not hesitate to use her again.
Steffi was absolutely amazing! She came to meet us before organising the booking and since we met her we felt very comfortable with her skills to look after our Daisy. In each visit she kept us posted of how Daisy was doing and sent fantastic photos. We really appreciate it when a sitter takes the time to provide a good updates ❤️
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
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!

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.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Norwich pet parents with similar pet households.

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!
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.
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.
