“Zita did drop ins over Christmas for my two dogs. She is wonderful. She took the time to come round beforehand and meet them and her communication is great. Highly recommend”
“Christina was just wonderful! My boy absolutely adored her and she looked after him well. There was a little meet and greet visit before hand where she had gotten to know us both and the situation of Onyx being recently poorly. She provided such lovely photos and videos as well. This was very reassuring and made my time away easier knowing how my boy was and that he was well looked after. Thank you so much Christina, you have another repeat client here!! Xx”
“Couldn't leave a better review imo. Jessica is an amazing person and we are so glad we asked her to look after our cats. Jessica is easy to talk too and proven to be trustworthy and I can't actually put it into words how much she made us feel at ease leaving our pets with her. She's so friendly and even the miserable bitey creature didn't mind her. Definitely our go to person if we need cat care again. Thanks so much Jessica 💓💓💓”
About: I have experience caring for dogs since I was about 15 years old. I often helped my grandmother and close family friends with their dogs — walking them, feeding them and looking after them when they were busy or away. Through this experience I learned how to be patient, attentive and responsible with dogs of different personalities. I enjoy spending time with them, going on walks, playing and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I work night shifts from Sunday night until Wednesday morning. On the other days, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time for pet care. I am available for walks, visits, or overnight stays on most days, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable space for pets, whether at my home or theirs. I follow all instructions carefully and always supervise pets to keep them happy and secure. Owners get updates so they can relax while I care for their furry friends.
“Sarah was so fantastic looking after our 3 cats! She arrived promptly for each visit and provided us with photos of our girls and lovely updates. They were all very happy when we arrived home and had clearly been well taken care of. Sarah also administer one of our cats daily medication well and kept her pain free. She always responded to messages very fast and went above and beyond. We will definitely be using Sarah again! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Hi, I’m Andriana, a first year medical student who's home for the holidays! I really love spending time with dogs and have some experience in taking care of them. I may not have a dog of my own, but my passion for caring for them is anything but second-hand. For over three years, I've been a regular, trusted carer for my cousin's dogs, looking after them across all stages of life — from energetic puppies and playful adults to more gentle senior dogs. This has given me a well-rounded understanding of how differently dogs need to be cared for depending on their age and personality. I’m looking for a lovely dog that I can take for walks and am able to dog sit at their house .I’m usually available on weekdays in the daytime and evening, at weekends and for holidays. I am a First year university student who is home for the holidays where I have all the time in the world, if I have no prior arrangements, I am available 24/7, any day of the week and any time. Unfortunately, my own cat doesn't get on with dogs so I will only be able to walk dogs and dog-sit at the owners home, where I will utilise the resources available to me as instructed.
“Nikki looked after Elvis for us while we were away for a weekend. She was quick to respond, sent photo updates, and made sure Elvis was well looked after and gave him lots of cuddles 🥰. Thank you Nikki! And Elvis also says thank you 😻”
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs since I was small, with variations in size and breed. I have experience with energetic young mixed-breed dogs as well as older dogs with special medical needs. Nothing is too much to provide the care, affection, and training our furry friends require! New to official formal sitting, hence the "1 year". I'm a researcher and a writer working from home in the middle of Peterborough, so I can easily fit let care into my weekly and daily routines. My time is my own to organise, so if a pet needs full attention and care I can give them that, or if they just need company I can bring my work to them! When caring for a pet, that let becomes my main priority! At the moment I'm keen to provide care in the pet owner's home, or indeed outside. Details depend on the pet caring circumstances, but I'll maintain high standards of safety by building trust and maintaining a relationship with the pet and the pet owner.
“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”
“This is the second time we have had Heidi to look after Bing & I would 100% recommend her still to anyone looking for someone to check in on your furry babies🫶🏻🫶🏻 we love Heidi and will keep with her until she has enough of us! Thank you!🖤🖤”
About: I love animals but especially cats have been part of my life and grow up with them, I have time to spend with them and give them the care and love they deserve I work from home and I have a lot of spare time on my hands and I miss having a cat with me so I can care for I have a 3 bedroom house with a fenced garden, I work from home 5 days a week, my son is at school from 9-5
“Elizabeth was absolutely incredible! She was very attentive and made sure to talk to me so we were both on the same page with our dogs. Her assistance on looking after our pups relieved so much stress off our family’s shoulder, I recommend her for anything with elder pups, like us! She’s absolutely amazing!!”
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!
About: I have grown up with 3 dogs which makes me experienced and on multiple occasions I’ve watched them for a week. I love walking and will happily take animals on walks. And I love a cuddle as much as the pet does. I also volunteer for the cinnamon trust walking and looking after elderly and terminally ill people’s pets. I also have a DBS certificate I study at university and am only in for an hour or 2 at a time so taking care of an animal fits into my schedule easily. I work in a bar 2 days a week. Friday I work 5 hours and Saturday I work 9 so I wouldn’t be able to look after pets on Saturday but I could always begin after my shift. I do not care for pets in my home as I am in a flat and pets are not allowed. In terms of looking after pets in your home. I would like to be told anything important or to know if your pet likes to try and escape so I can be more aware of this. I would never try and put contact with a pet if they are uncomfortable. I understand some pets are shy and that needs to be acknowledged.
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life when I was kid and now I have beautiful Belgian Malinois that has showed me how much I love caring for them I’ve become very good with trainings and play times since she’s very active which I know would help me with taking care of other dogs ❤️ My availability will vary on weekends and weekdays depending on my work schedules but give me a massage and I see what I can do I have a fence garden and a spare rooms if your dog would need to stay separate from my fur baby Always making sure I know as much as I can about the dog before the sittings

Jessica is a lovely, kind-hearted lady who took fantastic care of my cat. She did everything I asked and always left everything clean and tidy after her visits. Even though my cat is usually shy with strangers, by the end he was waiting to greet Jessica at the door! During the heatwave, Jessica also made sure the house stayed cool and let my cat have a little supervised time outside. I highly recommend her – we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind. Thank you!
Zita took excellent care of my cat while I was away. She not only made sure that he ate and drank enough but also gave him plenty of fuss and attention. The communication was fantastic as well, as she kept me updated with regular messages (and the sweetest photos!), which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future. Thank you so much, Zita!
Highly recommend! This was our second booking with Andrea, for our two week holiday. She is so lovely and was happy to come visit us and Figg before her first sitting - to make sure she was a good match. Figg ADORE’S her and settled in with her straight away. I swear she likes Andrea more than us already 😂 She sent plenty of photos and videos every single visit, so we felt very confident that Figg was happy and cared for. No complaints! Thanks Andrea!
Irina was very helpful and cooperative and took good care of our furry boys while we were away. She was responsive to messages and easy to communicate with, and everything was handled as arranged. We appreciate her support and thank her for looking after them.
Sarah was so fantastic looking after our 3 cats! She arrived promptly for each visit and provided us with photos of our girls and lovely updates. They were all very happy when we arrived home and had clearly been well taken care of. Sarah also administer one of our cats daily medication well and kept her pain free. She always responded to messages very fast and went above and beyond. We will definitely be using Sarah again! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Christina is wonderful with our pets. We have an older half blind dog and a shy indoor cat and they both LOVE Christina! This is one of the first times I've ever left the pets to be watched by a stranger, so going in I didn't feel completely at ease about it, but upon meeting Christina, I didn't feel like she was a stranger. She is kind, laid back, responsible, trustworthy, and both our dog and cat instantly liked her! Christina sets the standard for great pet-sitting! Thank you for loving our fur-babies 😄
Adriana Elena was absolutely amazing! She took fantastic care of my cats, Jogisha and Rocky, while we were away on holiday. When we returned, my fur babies looked happy and content! Adriana also went above and beyond by watering my flowers and plants on a very hot day. I couldn't imagine having a better cat sitter - she's truly top-notch! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Peterborough on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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 occured. 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 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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.
