“My cats adore Laura! Even my usual shy cat is first to greet her when she arrives. I get daily pictures and she spends ample time with them during her drop-by visits. Can’t recommend enough, never worry about my cats when I know she is looking after them.”

“Anastasiia was amazing with my 2 cats when I was away! She definitely eased my worries from being away from them. She was very attentive to their needs and understood their nervousness. They even managed to make friends towards the end which is something I was not expecting! I would absolutely work with her again and cannot recommend her enough ☺️ Thank you, Anastasiia!”

About: I’m an experienced cat owner who has spent years caring for my own cats. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed, especially when their owners are away. I’m confident with everyday cat care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playtime and keeping an eye on changes in behaviour or appetite. I’m also happy to follow each cat’s individual routine and give them space when they need it. I know that some cats are very social, while others need patience and time to build trust. I can also help with basic dog care, such as feeding, companionship and walks, where the owner provides clear instructions. My experience with dogs is more limited, so I would always be honest about what I can safely offer and make sure I understand a dog’s needs before accepting a booking. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to send regular photo updates so owners can feel reassured that their pets are being well looked after. I’m currently settling into life in the UK and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and can arrange dog walks or other basic pet care depending on the booking and my availability. I’m happy to discuss weekday, weekend and holiday bookings in advance, and I’ll always make sure I can commit to the agreed schedule before accepting a request. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I aim to follow their usual feeding, playtime and care routines as closely as possible. I also have six years of experience caring for my own cats, so I’m very comfortable fitting daily pet care into my routine. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your pet’s needs and the times that would work best. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritise every pet’s safety and comfort. I keep doors and windows secure, respect your home, and provide regular photo updates. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to understand your pet’s individual needs.

About: I have taken care of both family pets and gundogs, some being super friendly and some more reactive. I have also taken care of many cats. I enjoy spending time with your pets, including taking them for enriching walks, play time and snuggles. I always treat your pet as my own and want them to be as happy and healthy as possible. In the past this has included administering prescription medication and facilitating vets trips whilst owners have been away. In 2024 I worked in a wildlife park in Queensland, Australia, and so have experience with many types of animal (including Serg the Cockatiel seen in my profile pic!), and they truly are my passion. I have had many pets of different species myself including cats, reptiles and even a spider! I adore all animals. I am a university student which means I can't have a pet in my accomodation and it's something I miss, so I signed up for Rover to fill this void whilst I am at uni, so I am desperate to spoil yours with love! I strive to keep pets in their routine as much as possible. I always ask the owners what they think will keep their pets the happiest whilst they are away and am always willing to provide long walks and lots of cuddles! I always treat your pets as if they are my own and love seeing their unique personalities shine through.

“It was my first time leaving Saylee(my cat) alone so I was understandably nervous especially as she’s very shy/cautious around people and don’t” trust” easily. However I had anything to worry about.Evie came to meet Saylee a few days before I left on holiday and she took to Evie immediately. Evie provided constant feedback and photos of Saylee whilst I was away which really eased my mind. I came back to a very well fed,well looked after and happy little cat. I will 100% use Evie again.”

About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for cats, from growing up with my family’s 12-year-old senior cat to co-owning a cat for 4 years. I truly understand feline behavior, boundaries, and how to make them feel safe. I've even successfully trained cats to walk on a leash and play treat-guessing games! I am a regular, trusted cat sitter for my friends' pets, and I recently completed a wonderful month-long boarding stay for a cat at my place. I live on my own in a large, quiet house with a big garden, making it a peaceful, stress-free environment for your pets. I have a lot of love to give and plenty of free time right now to focus entirely on your furry friends, whether they stay at my home or I visit yours. While cats are my specialty, I am also very open to hosting or visiting calm, friendly dogs to expand my care experience! I work completely from home, which means my schedule is highly flexible and I am around all day. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. My daily routine revolves around providing consistent companionship, sticking strictly to your feeding and medication schedules, and building in plenty of dedicated time for play, grooming, and mental stimulation (or leash walks if they are trained for it!). Because I have a lot of free time right now, your pet will truly be my top priority. In My Home: I live alone in a large, quiet house with a big, secure garden, offering a peaceful environment free from the stress of children or other resident pets. Before any stay, I meticulously pet-proof the space. Your pet will have full freedom to roam, explore, and find their favorite cozy spots. I am extremely mindful of open doors and windows to ensure absolute safety. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. During drop-in visits, I focus entirely on making your pet feel safe and loved while you are away. Communication: Trust is everything to me. I will send you daily updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how much fun and love your furry friend is getting!

About: Hi, I'm Sam. I'm a third psychology student with a deep love for dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and caring for them while my parents work far from home has been a big part of my life. I've also had experience dog sitting for people in my town. Missing my own dogs while I'm away at university made me realize how much I enjoy being around them. That's why I'm offering dog sitting services in Nottingham. I hope to help others and build meaningful connections with both pets and their owners over the next four years. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, I'd love to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to balance my commitments while providing attentive care to the dogs I sit. I plan my day around their needs, ensuring they get plenty of attention, regular walks, meals, and companionship. The natural gaps in my schedule give me time to focus on each dog individually, making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. It’s a routine that fits seamlessly into my day while also giving me a refreshing break and the chance to spend quality time with the dogs, which I find both enjoyable and rewarding. When I care for a pet owner's home while dog sitting, I make sure to follow a few key responsibilities. First, I always discuss any specific house rules the owner has, like areas that are off-limits or special instructions for their space. I focus on cleanliness by keeping the home tidy, cleaning up after the dog, and ensuring that food and water bowls are always clean. Security is also a priority for me, so I make sure all doors and windows are locked when I leave the house to keep the owner's property safe. If the owner asks, I collect the mail or packages and store them in a safe place. I also take care of any plants that need watering or other maintenance tasks. Communication is important, so I keep the pet owner updated with messages or photos of their dog, helping them feel connected while they're away. Lastly, I always know how to reach the pet owner or a trusted friend in case of any emergencies related to the pet or the home. This way, I can ensure a positive experience for everyone involved.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, having grown up with our family Jack Russell. From the age of 17, I also began helping out with my mum’s dog walking business, which has given me valuable hands on experience caring for and walking dogs. I’ve also had a family cat for five years, so I have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of providing them with the right attention, affection and care. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. Whether it’s taking dogs for walks, playing with pets or keeping them company, I’m caring, patient and reliable. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pet feels loved and well looked after while you’re away. I’m happy to fit pet care around my weekly schedule and will always aim to be flexible where possible. I can arrange walks and visits in advance to suit both you and your pet, and I’ll communicate clearly about my availability to make sure your pet receives reliable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their individual needs, routines and personality so they feel safe and settled in my care. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I’ll respect your home and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking preferences and any specific care requirements. I’ll always make sure pets are supervised appropriately, kept secure on walks and given plenty of attention, affection and playtime. I’m reliable, responsible and caring, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel reassured that your pet is in safe hands.

Kerenza was very responsive to any questions I had (it was my first time using the Rover app so there were more than a few!). She continued the good communication while we were away, and I came home to a content cat. I felt confident leaving Monty in Kerenza's hands - he can take a day or two to warm up to new people and she wasn't pushy at all, but I could see from her picture updates that he got used to her visits and went from shy, to happily greeting her at the door.

This was the second time Olaya took care of my cat Mimi. Olaya is so very conscientious, friendly, and just amazing with cats. Mimi trusts and opens up to Olaya easily. Olaya is also very gentle with cats and I’m very grateful that she is very diligent about things like locking doors and handling the keys. She also sent me any photos during the sit which I appreciated. I highly recommend Olaya.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Nottingham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Nottingham is £14 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £11 and £18 per Visit.

On Rover, 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 838 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Nottingham. About 90% of Nottingham 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 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 , 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.

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.
