“We are so grateful to Judith, she was wonderful. We were sent photos and a little update every day and our cat was really well cared for. Such a relief to find a reliable and caring person for our cat at short notice. Very happy!”
About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.
“We had to arrange a cat sitter last minute and we’re so glad we found Adiba! She was so quick to respond and made everything really easy from the beginning. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular photos of Milo. With a more timid cat, we were happy to see Milo getting more comfortable and settled with her as the days went on. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands and would definitely recommend Adiba to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their pets. We’ll 100% be using her again whenever we go away!”

“We had Rachel come and look after our cat Felix for the first time bank holiday weekend. Was so impressed from the moment we met her on the meet & greet. Rachel done a great job looking after our boy, she followed all our instructions, sent photos of him and left the house very tidy. When we returned Felix was a happy boy. Would have no hesitation in booking Rachel again and would definitely recommend. Thank you Rachel .”
“This was the first time Inga had looked after my dog, communications prior to arriving were faultless and Inga asked all the relevant questions. Inga arrived on time and was calm and patient with my nervous dog, Inga sat with my dog while I left for a two hour appointment. Inga was gentle and kind with my dog which suffers from separation anxiety, Inga kept me informed while I was away and I was confident that my dog was being well cared for. I would use Inga again for dog sitting and would recommend.”
“Jack has been amazing with my cat, when I came home after 3 days everything looked tidy and on top of everything my cat was happy and chilled 🥰😍 I don't think he missed us so much 😅 and it's just because Jack looked after him so well! Thank you again Jack.”
About: I’ve had pets around me for years and have 6 years of pet care experience. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved and comfortable. I’m patient, responsible and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing or simply giving them company. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently flexible with my schedule and can arrange pet care around my availability. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime and checking in on your pets. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs and make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep their routine consistent and make sure they have fresh water, food and a safe environment. I’ll also keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sapphire was great with my cat Whiskey! She was very reliable, and gave us a peace of mind while we were on holiday by providing regular updates on him & his activities including eating habits. We will definitely rebook Sapphire again in the future! (:”
About: A proud owner of 8 cats and a dog. I have grown up around cats and kittens, with a huge love for cats and the love and comfort they can give us. I am the type of person who spends hours looking for my neighbour's cats if they ever go missing, because I genuinely care about the welfare of all cats. I have never been one to regularly donate to a charity, but I have consistently donated to Cats Protection because of their motive of having all cats treated with kindness and understanding their needs. A variety of my friends and neighbours will ask me to watch their cats on a regular basis, one of whom has 7 cats all with different needs. Some are indoor cats turned outdoor cats, indoor cats, or have free reign of the whole area.
“Maisie took amazing care of Vanil, and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Tahmina was fantastic! She was always very professional, responsive, kept us up to date with a touch of humour, and would go the extra mile to ensure our kitties were comfortable. We’re so grateful our first cat sitter experience was with her!”
“Aleksandra was very attentive since the first communication and did take great care of our cat! If she's available next time we're going away I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I've has dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and hamsters all my life and I've been a proud parent to dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and fish my whole life. Currently I'm kept on my toes by my two 2 energic kittens! I work full-time but love nothing more than getting my animal fix after work. I am quite flexible as long as I have enough notice. I work full-time but can accommodate where possible. I work full time but im available in the evenings and weekends and happy to be fkexible where necessary. I am available weekly also if required. I have a fenced garden. Fully established and have grass area. I have also got a decking area and patio area and table and chairs. I have balls, lasers, paddling pool if they are hot, dog/cat towels. Access to a large park for them to explore.
About: I have experience with dogs through my business Dig&Dog, by helping out family and friends, and through voluntary work abroad. I have taken care of lots of different breeds, sizes and ages and therefore can cater to any needs! I have my own business offering a variety of pet services including house sitting, dog walking & drop in visits. I often house sit overnight and work in the garden in the day, but often have availability for dog walks/drop-ins, especially in the autumn/winter. I have grown up with two cats and surrounded by the dogs and cats of family/friends, meaning I am very comfortable pet sitting and have lots of experience, which creates a relaxed atmosphere for pets to feel safe and most importantly happy!
“Dilsathnisha was so kind and attentive to my two cats during the week. She sent lovely updates and was responsive with messages too. I felt relaxed and comfortable leaving my cats with her and would definitely book again!”

I can’t recommend Mark enough! This was my first time using the Rover app, and I was quite apprehensive about leaving my cat, Ollie, in someone else’s care. However, Mark was absolutely brilliant and put my mind at ease. Mark visited twice a day to feed Ollie, spend time with him, play with him, and give him plenty of cuddles and attention. The most amazing thing is that Ollie is usually very antisocial with people he doesn’t know, but he took to Mark straight away and even sat on his knee! That says it all. It was such a relief knowing Ollie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. Mark was fantastic, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you, Mark, for taking such good care of Ollie! I’ll definitely be booking you again soon. ❤️

Christina has been brilliant looking after our 2 cats while we were on holiday. She has gone above and beyond, not only feeding them but playing with them, giving some fuss and making sure everything was clean before our return. Daily photos gave us peace of mind. Ray and Ivy clearly loved her visits with the added opportunity for a meet and greet. We won’t hesitate to rebook Christina in the future. Thanks again 💙🩷
Second time booking with Chloe and would definitely do so again. She was so kind and sent great detailed updates with lovely pictures. The cats were clearly loving their time and its clear Chloe really cares for all animals! She even left a little report card so I knew what my two had been up to! Couldn't recommend more.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Oadby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oadby is £17 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £11 and £24 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 1,038 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Oadby . About 93% of Oadby 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.
