Would definitely recommend and rebook again, thank you so much!!!!!!”

“I hired Réka to look after my two cats while i was away for my wedding. Réka is such a lovely girl and I felt instantly at ease meeting her in person. I could tell she was trustworthy right away and would be a calming presence for my cats. She gave us thorough updates of the cats during every drop in along with photos, so I knew they were both alright. When I got back home, my cats did not show any signs of stress and seemed very relaxed. This is a big thing as my older cat Kiki is very shy and becomes stressed easily with new people. It was nice to know that she had been comfortable while Réka took care of them and I would definitely ask Réka to help us out in future! Thanks again!”
“Tabea is a great pet sitter, very patient and calm with animals and gives them time to get used to her. Our cat Alfie loved her and spending time with her (and we could see that very well from the daily pictures and journals she shared). She is very precise in her job and pays good attention to details. Everything was done exactly as we asked and our cat had everything provided for him. Highly recommended and would definetely rebook again in the future”
About: -Flexible, positive method Dog Trainer -Pick up & Drop offs available on request -Only accepting dog friendly non-reactive Dogs for boarding -Training enquiries welcome I am Amber, a puppy behaviourist and dog trainer working in Plymouth. I am working towards my Level 3 qualification in Assistance Dog Training, and have plenty of time to interact with dogs while I study from home. I have trained and cared for a range of dogs over the past few years, and raised my own Sprollie Scout and Assistance Dog Sparrow. I am also a Musical Director and Project Manager, I work from home most of the time but do often work some evenings. Housesitting: I am delighted to offer my services as a house-sitter at competitive rates, as I work both inside and outside of the house during my week. Please ensure your dog is happy home alone for up to a full working day, and has a flexible schedule, if you’d like me to housesit for you. 24/7 sits available, depending on availability, at £15ph. Light cleaning included (bedsheets changed, surface wiped, vacuum cleaned) Extra cleaning is £30ph. I work from home most of the week, as I work as a Project Manager and Musical Director, so I'm only out for around 10 hours a week! I also work as a musician, but that means I am at home composing most of the time, and of course going on lovely walks with my dog. I have a big house with a dedicated Dog room and lovely grassy garden! Dogs are absolutely allowed in the rest of the house during the day. I have plenty of doors in between their main room and the front exit, so dogs are very safe and secure in the house. PLEASE NOTE: I will only accept non-reactive dogs with no vocal issues. I live in a terraced house with 2 resident dogs, so unfortunately I cannot accept dogs who are reactive/ will reactively bark/ whimper excessively.
About: I’ve always been pet sitting my family members/friends pets since I was little and have always loved it! Now that i’m at university, I don’t see their pets that often anymore and since im far away from home and love animals i decided i’d like to start pet sitting around where I live! Since it’s summer time, I have lots of time to hang out with your pet/check up on them, I’m available anyday after 10am I have no pets at home yet, my house is pet safe, big and comfortable for any type of pet. I’m happy with small and big pets.
About: I've always loved animals, i've had a way with them and I would choose them over people anyday, Caring for them is something i've also done for a while having looked after my own pets ranging from rabbits puppies and birds. I've also helped out family caring for their pets when needed in the 2020 pandemic looking after their cat. I'm currently looking for work so I have a lot of free time, I try to be active so pet care and walks fits easily into my routine I can only offer walks or house visits. I will give pets plenty of attention and do my best to cater to their needs make sure they have plenty of water and follow any requests owners might have
“Emily made it easy to feel confident that Marmite (my elderly cat) was in good hands. Her daily updates and photos were exactly what we needed to know and Marmite was well-cared for while we were away. Easily recommend!”
About: I enjoy keeping dogs active, entertained and comfortable. I can provide relaxed walks for dogs who prefer to take their time or more energetic outings for those who love exploring. I’ll follow your instructions regarding routes, leads, feeding and household routines, while giving your dog plenty of playtime and companionship. As a nurse, I’m responsible, observant and calm, and I’ll always place your dog’s safety first. I arrange pet-care bookings around my work schedule and only accept requests when I can give each pet enough time and attention. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and sitting on selected weekdays, evenings and weekends. I always confirm timings clearly with owners in advance. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines and house rules. I check that doors, gates, leads and harnesses are secure and keep pets away from unsafe food or objects. I respect the owner’s home, keep everything clean and provide regular photos and updates throughout the booking.
About: I have been around and worked with dogs and cats my whole life. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets, as I have been walking and pet sitting for 2 years. I currently have a 12 year old working Cocker Spaniel, an 11 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a 6 year old domestic shorthaired cat who I have had since puppies and a kitten. I understand the importance of providing dogs and cats with plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and a safe environment where they feel comfortable and happy. Through caring for my own pets, I've gained experience with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic care, and supporting an older dog with age-related needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my patience, and my understanding that every pet has their own personality and routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive lots of care, affection, and attention while in my care. I have been on Rover for 5 months now and would love to care for your pet!🐾❤️🐈⬛ Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I work Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 3:30pm, which means I am available every evening for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. During school holidays and half terms, I have full availability, giving me even more flexibility for pet sitting and dog walking. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is something I do every day, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, and ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a 12-year-old working Cocker Spaniel, a 11 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a 6 year old cat who I've cared for since puppies and kittens, so looking after pets is a natural part of my everyday routine. 🐾❤️ I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication requirements, and any specific needs their pet may have. In a pet owner's home, I aim to keep pets in their usual routine as much as possible to help them feel relaxed and settled. I'll provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and regular toilet breaks, as well as lots of affection and companionship. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is being cared for properly, so I'm happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Having cared for my own Cocker Spaniel from puppyhood into his senior years, I'm comfortable looking after dogs of different ages, personalities, and activity levels. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritise their happiness, safety, and wellbeing.
“Once again Lauren looked after my cat Ozzy. I received daily updates with photos. I am very pleased that Lauren looked after Ozzy. I will definitely use Lauren for future care. I recommend Lauren to everyone because in addition to professional care Lauren is an animal lover which is also important. Thank you Lauren.”
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/jb48608 <— Discount Code. I have experience caring for pets through owning my own dog and cat, as well as looking after friends’ and family members’ dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. I am patient, reliable, and enjoy spending time with animals, whether that involves walks, playtime, feeding routines, or simply keeping them company. I am comfortable with both energetic younger pets and calmer older animals who may need a more gentle approach. I’m currently off for the summer from university. I’m available at short notice for all pet needs, from walks to housesitting and more. In my own home, I care for pets by providing a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure feeding times are consistent, fresh water is always available, and pets have a routine that helps them feel settled. I spend time on daily exercise and play, especially for dogs, and I give attention and interaction based on each pet’s personality and needs. For cats, I ensure they have quiet spaces, clean litter areas, and access to enrichment and attention when they want it, while also respecting their independence. As a dog and cat owner myself, I understand the importance of supervision, routine, and making pets feel at home. I would treat any pet in my care with the same responsibility and attention I give my own animals.
“Morgan is a very responsible and professional person, the care of my cat who is very distrustful was done very well. Thank you very much, I will definitely use your services again. Kind regards”
“Sarah did drop in visits for our little Archie, while we were away on a trip for 2 weeks. She took really good care of him. Archie likes to play in the yard, and Sarah made sure he had enough sun shine whenever it's possible! She also spent time cuddling and playing with Archie to keep him happy, in addition to regular feeding, litter changing etc. She also gives regular updates with photos and videos. Recommend booking Sarah for your peace of mind!”
About: I have cared for animals of all ages and sizes from a young age, starting with family and friends up to newer clients. I have such a love for all kinds of animals and truly appreciate the trust it takes to place your own into someone else’s care. I have a reputation in my family for treating animals like people because I think that’s the love they deserve! 🐾 I currently work full-time near Derriford during the week, with working hours of 8am–4pm. I’m available for walks and drop-ins before or after work, as well as overnight stays when needed. At weekends, my availability is much more open, and I can offer walks, drop-ins and overnight care during the day and evenings. 🐾 I have experience caring for a variety of animals with different personalities and obedience levels. I understand that every animal is different and that some may need a little extra time, patience and understanding. I have plenty of patience for all animals and will always take the time to help them feel comfortable and safe. Their safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority, and I will never knowingly put an animal in harm’s way.

I felt my cat was well looked after during our recent break over the bank holiday. Great interest in the cat whilst preparing for our absence, asking the necessary questions. During our absence, we received updates that reassured us he was just fine without us. Thank you, Joe. We will ask for your assistance again when we need it. 👏
Very very good . Highly recommend Victoria. Other than just feeding our cat took time to give her a lovely fuss which she really enjoyed and Victoria sent pictures of visits . My friend has used Victoria too which is where I heard about cat in a flat in the first place.
Karolina is fantastic 👏 did a fabulous job of looking after my 3 cats!! Especially since I had so many things for her to do she was so considerate and nothing was too much trouble! Fit me in last minute too! Kept me in the loop and came home to happy cats 🐈 highly recommend her and will be using her for any future sitting!! Thanks so much 🙏
Our first time leaving Elsa with someone she doesn’t know and Skye was brilliant! Communication was spot on, she made sure that Elsa was able to choose whether to interact and even came in earlier for us knowing that her usual feed time was incredibly early! We’d 100% recommend Skye!
I hired Réka to look after my two cats while i was away for my wedding. Réka is such a lovely girl and I felt instantly at ease meeting her in person. I could tell she was trustworthy right away and would be a calming presence for my cats. She gave us thorough updates of the cats during every drop in along with photos, so I knew they were both alright.

Could not fault Sophie if I tried. My three absolutely adored her visits and this was shown with my least social one also being home for every time she came over. Sophie did everything requested and more. My kitties warmed up to her very quickly and I was kept up to date the entire time with pics and notes regarding visits. 100% going to book again. Thank you so much, and Oreo says meow.
Kate was amazing looking after my cat Silkie while I was away. She sent me lots of photos and videos after each visit, along with updates on how he was doing, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared for him, she even picked up on how happy he was to see her when she visited, which meant a lot to me. She was so kind and complimentary about Silkie too. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kate again. Definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Plymouth on Rover is £12.65 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 178 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Plymouth. About 87% of Plymouth 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.
