“Kerenza did a lovely job of looking after my cat at quite short notice. She sent me updates and pictures, and was very professional and friendly. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat.”
“Hannah has been great, came to meet us before the drop in visit. Looked after Ruby really well on a very hot day! Would book definitely book again! Thank you Hannah 😊”
“Devon was absolutely brilliant with Kuda. He was reliable, calm, and clearly confident with dogs, which put me at ease straight away. Kuda was well cared for, happy, and relaxed during the visits, and communication throughout was great. I really appreciated the updates and the care shown — it’s clear Devon genuinely loves what he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
About: I have had a dog walking job as a teenager (I am now 23 with no pets!) I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, gained experience with ex race greyhounds and with smaller more energetic dogs Would love to see regular dogs and create a friendship between dog, owner and sitter. I work 3/4 days, Working as a chef! I study along side my work. I am happy to sit dogs on my days off to keep me company and fit- I love going on walks; so I’d have a partner to accompany me. I have a ground floor flat with a small private garden, live close to the arboretum so can go for walks around the park. My flat is very clean and tidy, we used to have a cat in the flat so we are used to sharing the space.
About: Hello! I am a Nottingham Trent University student raising money for Meningitis Research Foundation. I grew up with dogs (Jack Russell terriers, a golden lab, and a German pointer mix) and I was a dog walker for about a year many years ago. I am also a runner, so if you would prefer I take your dogs for a run, just let me know! I’d love to get to know you and your doggies :) I currently work part time at an art studio and am studying for my masters in fine arts at NTU, but my schooling is quite flexible and my work is less than 20 hours per week so I am able to find time around these responsibilities. For walks I care for the dogs by allowing them to stop and explore when they want and by bringing water and a small bowl for if they get thirsty on a longer walk. I also will take the dogs for a run if that is something you would like. For dog sitting I will let the pups out every couple hours or when they want, I will feed them when needed, fix them with clean water, take them for a walk at least once per day, and of course play with them and give them lots of pets
About: I have completed a Level 3 diploma in Animal Management, so I am educated on health care, animal behaviour, training and advanced husbandry so I am able to give full and accurate care to dogs, cats, small mammals and reptiles (I also know bird husbandry but I can be a bit uncomfortable around birds). I can look after animals at any life stage, including mother’s with young. I am also aiming to return to uni to study Ver Nursing in 2027 During my college course, I also completed about 200 hours of work experience at a dog groomers in my home city, so I have significant experience in basic grooming dogs (washing, drying, nail trims). Though I do not have a grooming licence, I have had practice in trimming paws, ears, tails and hygiene areas. On a personal level, I have grown up with two beautiful dogs, both raised from puppies and they both have had numerous health issues and surgeries throughout their lives so I am confident in caring for sick animals. As well as my own pets, I have worked with and bonded with so many animals at college and would love the opportunity to meet more amazing animals I know how hard it can be to leave our animals at home alone so I hope to bring you and your furbabies comfort and peace while you are apart. I do work full-time (roughly 35 hours p/w) in Notts Train Station with a 7 hour shift pattern. I can attend to animals mornings, and evenings, and I can check on homes during my shift if they are relatively close by. I will follow your house rules and make sure doors and gates are always locked, and whenever I have to take dogs outside I will supervise them at all times, and any walks will be on-lead unless instructed otherwise. For other animals (reptiles, small mammals) I will make sure I maintain proper hygiene if I need to enter enclosures to prevent cross contamination of smells and reduce stress.
About: Hi, I’m Ivy! I’m a student at Nottingham studying Education, and I have a deep love for animals. Whether it’s my own cat or caring for the pets of friends and family, I’ve always found joy in making sure animals feel happy, loved, and safe. One of the biggest advantages of having me as your pet sitter is my flexible schedule. As a student, I have plenty of free time during the day to give your pet my undivided attention. Whether they need extra playtime, long walks, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll be there to provide consistent care, affection, and fun. I’m patient, attentive, and will always adapt to your pet’s personality and preferences. If you’re looking for someone with a flexible schedule, lots of energy, and a genuine love for animals, I’d love to help! As I am a student I have plenty of time during the day to play and look after your pets and give them all my attention and give them the best care they deserve. I am good at adapting to my surroundings and will always make sure I provide a safe place for your pet and ensure they are happy.
“Just got back from holiday to a very happy cat. Donna is a fantastic cat sitter. Regular updates and pictures and always put me at ease as it was the first time leaving my cat. I have not only found a great cat sitter, I have also found a friend. I would highly recommend Donna to look after your cats. She's a star xxx”
“Aliyah, looked after our cat for two weeks with drop-in visits while we were on holiday, leaving food and water plus also dealt with the post. Our cat wasn't used to visitors but he took to Aliyah really quickly and there were lots of cuddles. Vary happy and would certainly recommend.”
About: Dogs are my favourite animal. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs from my previous host families, ranging from Yorkshire Terrier, Bulldog to Schnauzer. I can manage different energy levels, from providing gentle care to engaging in active playtime and daily walks. I’m a uni student at the University of Nottingham, and I am mostly available in the afternoons. I’m also available from 9am on weekends. I offer a loving home environment with a fully fenced garden for safe playtime. My two friendly dogs adore making new friends and will keep your fur baby company all day! I am also happy to provide crate training support or individual quiet time if your pet needs a break.
About: I've done a lot of cat sitting, usually over a long period of time. Additionally I've had a pet dog for the majority of my life. I'm currently at NTU in my second year. So I should have lots of spare time to walk and care for pets. I'm avaliable mostly in the evenings from 4 and in gaps during lectures and seminars I'm very accustomed to caring for pets, especially dogs and cats. So I will have no trouble feeding and walking pets in a pets owners home.
“This was the first time we’ve left our one year old cat for an extended period of time, and when we got back it was as though we’d never left. She was clearly very well looked after by Rebecca who was attentive, quick to respond to messages and sent detailed updates with lots of accompanying photos every day. We would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Super grateful for Hiu Yee doing a drop in visit given that we booked so last minute. She sent photos whilst she visited Koda and made us feel that Koda was well looked after - thank you!”
About: I started walking my friend’s dog when I was small, which gave me experience in taking care of a dog and ensuring it has a good walking experience. I’m currently a full-time sociology student studying in university but my course workload isn’t heavy, so I have plenty of time for dog care jobs. For bordering service, I have a large grassy garden that provides a comfortable and safe space for dogs to run around. There are also plenty of green areas near my home, which are great for walking dogs.

I was so happy to see the lovely picture Devon took with a very happy Dice. Thank you so much Devon for looking after our big baby. Much appreciated. I know where to come for the next time if I need a dog sitter and I would not hesitate to recommend you. Many thanks. Mary
I cannot recommend Laura enough. She truly went above and beyond looking after Billie. She gave me regular updates at each visit, sent me gorgeous photos and videos which clearly showed Billie very happy and content which really put my mind at ease. On several occasions she stayed a lot longer to keep her company which was really appreciated. In summary she’s a 5 star sitter who clearly loves cats 😻
Yi-Fan was absolutely lovely and provided a professional service in taking care of my beloved cat with daily updates. I was super impressed with how my Charles was at ease with them when they interacted (normally, she doesn't like strangers). This reassured me immensely for future bookings. Thanks, Yi-Fan!
So happy I found Laura!! Really lovely person and couldn’t recommend more. She came over and met my boys and I before catsitting, and sent daily photos of them which was really lovely, more so as I’ve got a very nervous cat around new people and he was comfortable and happy whilst I was away. Really couldn’t recommend Laura more, and would definitely book with her again! Thank you so much!! 😊
An absolute pleasure 🙏. The boys absolutely loved Rasa and so did I. What a genuine naturally caring person. Genuine love for the cats. Even kept onto the keys in case we were delayed in traffic or flight. ..Legend. Thanks Rasa and welcome to the family. An amazing find. A gem. You will not be disappointed.
Our first time with Cat in a Flat and we hit the jackpot! From the moment we met Abi we knew our lads were in safe hands and so it proved. She quickly set up a great routine for Jet and Cooper and receiving cuddles from them showed how much they could trust her! The photos showed all this! We’d like to use Abi again and we’ll also let our cat keeping friends know about her! Receiving all this meant we also had a great time not having to think about how the lads were getting on. Abi, thanks ever so!!

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

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 Nottingham 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.

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.
