About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including having pets of my own and working in a kennels for a year. This gave me hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, understanding their different personalities, routines and needs. I’m confident with feeding, walking, cleaning, providing enrichment, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet is an individual, and I always take the time to build trust and make them feel at ease. After losing my own pets, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with animals and providing the same love, attention and companionship to other people’s pets I work part-time and also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer pet care around my working hours. I’m available for lunchtime visits and walks, as well as after-work appointments, making it easier to fit around your pet’s routine. I understand how important consistency and companionship are for pets, and I’ll always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and affection while you’re away. I am available anytime during the weekends an my days off. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand that keeping their normal routine is important, so I take the time to follow their usual feeding, walking and care schedule. During visits, I’ll provide companionship, playtime, feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I’ll respect their individual personalities and give them space if they need it while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: I have always had dogs and cats. I’m always told they are drawn to me, especially when I used to volunteer at my previously local rescue centre walking dogs. The staff at the rescue centre trusted me with dogs of all sizes and all personalities as I could figure out how to interact with the dog’s personality quickly. I’ve looked after my aunties cats when she would go away for a week or so. I’m friendly and have a flexible schedule. I am also SRUC trained in principles of animal care with a number of certifications. I am currently working part-time meaning I am quite flexible and am happy and ready to take up any opportunities looking after and walking your pets. I will ensure your pet is safe, happy and healthy in my care. They’ll be taken on walks, taken outside regularly to do what they need to do, I’ll of course follow any instructions provided about their routines or needs. I’ll ensure they are fed at the correct times and in the correct way.
“Kayleigh was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and very cooperative throughout the whole process. Communication was excellent, and she made us feel completely at ease knowing our pet was in such good hands. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Kayleigh!”
“Zita went above and beyond and took great care of my boy while I was on a long holiday. She followed all instructions and ensured that he was doing well in my absence, as well as giving him lots of attention and fuss. I also really appreciate that Zita kept me updated and sent me photos after each visit, which gave me great peace of mind. One can tell that she really loves animals, and I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Shannon looked after our dog hazelnut whilst we were away, hazelnut is a mastiff cross and is a very bouncy energetic dog who can be too much for just about anyone. Shannon had absolutely no issues with looking after her and did a superb job she ticked all of the boxes possible, she fed her, gave hazel her daily medication, opened the door for her to pee, played with her, kept her company and didn’t leave until she was settled We received daily updates, photos and a summary of how she was, Shannon even brought in our parcels and fed our fish, when Hazel ripped up a cushion Shannon cleared it up. Shannon was nothing but attentive and kept us at ease whilst we were away, she’s a very friendly and kind woman, Hazel has been waiting by the door this morning checking if she is coming back to given her breakfast We hope to have the opportunity to hire her again!”
“Jessica is a 100% excellent with my 2 frenchie girls, they absolutely love her. She pops in first thing in the morning to let them out, plays with them and goes back in the evening to put them to bed. I have booked her twice and will definitely book her again.”
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.
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.
“Volha was absolutely wonderful with our kitten Lucky. He was very happy and clearly very well looked after on our return. Volha kept us updated on how he was after every visit and sent us pictures from each visit also, which our kids loved to receive. Volha went above and beyond with cleaning up after our kitten knocked down a pot plant which we were very appreciative of. We would highly recommend Volha with your pet and we will certainly be using her again for our next holiday.”
“Very happy with Nikki visiting my cat. Nothing was too much trouble and the photos that came through looked like my cat was having a relaxed and playful time. She was eating and drinking well and I felt relaxed knowing she was in the comfort of her own home. Thank you Nikki we really appreciate your support with looking after our little princess”
“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!”
“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!”

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!

Giulia is a fantastic cat sitter and took such good care of my boy. She followed all instructions, was very reliable, and provided me with a thorough update while I was away. Communication throughout was also superb. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks a lot, Giulia!
Kayleigh was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and very cooperative throughout the whole process.

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 😄

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Peterborough on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of September 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 .
There are 584 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Peterborough. About 91% of Peterborough 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 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.
