About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier. I grew up around them on my grandparents’ farm. I’m now a proud owner of two cats and a dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. With years of hands-on experience, I’m confident providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. As a student, I’ve built a routine that allows me to balance my studies with doing what I love, caring for animals. I have free time during the day and on weekends, which means I can give your pets plenty of attention, play, and cuddles. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I always follow the owner’s routine to keep pets happy and comfortable. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and have company if they like cuddles or just someone nearby. I’ll also keep the space tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Jing has been super helpful, super accomodating and took an excellent care of my cat. She followed the instructions and took extra steps to clean up the accidental mess made by the cat. Definitely recommend!”
“Kaitlyn looked after our cat a short notice, everything was great. Cat was happy when we got back, so we were happy! Kaitlyn kept the kitchen clean and tidy and even took the bins out for us. We will definitely book her again!”
“Georgia took such wonderful care of my cat and kept me updated with lovely photos and messages, which I really appreciated. Seeing my cat looking so relaxed and happy made it so much easier to enjoy my trip, knowing they were being so well looked after.”
“Ainhoa was absolutely amazing! She spent plenty of quality time playing with my kittens and made sure they were happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, my pets seemed extremely happy... which is every pet owner’s wish. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable.”
About: I grew up with dogs and I see life no otherwise. I only look after one dog at a time, so your pup gets all the attention, cuddles, and sitting-together time 💛 I have a very spacious, calm home, surrounded by lots of lovely parks, and I work from home most days, which means your dog is rarely ever alone. Dogs tend to decide pretty quickly that I’m their person they wander over, sit next to me, and stay. One of my favourite little credentials? I’m my friend’s dog’s absolute favourite human. They choose to sit with me, follow me around, and I’m the only person they’re happy being left with, which I think says more than any checklist ever could 🐾 Because it’s just me and your dog, I really get to know them their routine, their favourite walking spots, and the small things that make them feel safe and happy. There’s no rushing, no noise, and no sharing attention with other dogs. This is perfect for gentle, cuddly, older, or slightly shy dogs who love calm walks, cozy naps, and having a human nearby. Walks are relaxed, home time is peaceful, and affection is always on your dog’s terms. If your dog mostly wants someone to sit with them and keep them company, I’d love to meet them 🐶✨ I am working from home full time going into the office only once a week at my preference, so can accommodate week days as well as weekends and holidays. I live in a very spacious, calm flat, surrounded by several parks, and a very quiet family households area. I also have an elevator if the doggies are older and cannot go up the stairs.
“Xin Yi is amazing! She looked after Lucifer so well, not just fed and cleaned but really spent time with him. I loved regular photo updates, some of the shots are priceless ;) i could really see my cat feeling comfortable and entertained. I felt like I can really relax on my holiday, thank you <3 I have already re-booked.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger, always had family dogs, and have qualifications in animal care and science. I have also volunteered at ranged charities including dogs trust and dog hydrotherapy centres in my spare time and genuinely have a passion for canine care, and enjoy spending time with dogs. I have a small toy poodle called Ruby who gets along well with other dogs. I work from home most of the week and so can regularly take dogs out for toilet breaks or fun walks whenever needed. Having flexibility allows me to focus on the dogs too, I can play with them whenever they need some attention or provide enrichment and care when they need it. I have access to a car and so can travel to fun parks too or other places quick if needed. My home and supplies are my dogs so anything is for offer: plenty of toys, treats, furniture, a bath or grooming if they need it. I have a flat but lots of green areas and parks around me which I take my own toy poodle out to many times a day. I ensure dogs that need care whilst their owner is on holiday, away for work or otherwise, are able to get the care and daily enrichment they need.
“Shania is a brilliant cat-sitter! Attentive and punctual, she made my few days off stress-free while taking care of my really young kitten. Got back and found a bigger kitten :) and most of all happy and chatty! Fully recommended :)”
About: I have had cats since I was 15, and I babysitted a guide dog for 2 weeks when I was 11. Since then I've done Animal Management Level 2 B-Tec and Animal Management Level 3 B-Tec getting a Double Merit grade. Alongside my educational journey I was required to look after many different types of animals, give them appropriate medications as well as food preparation and providing correct enrichment. I have also worked approximately 2 years in Pets at Home as a retail assistant fully trained in selling animals. This gives me the full understanding of dietary requirements as well as trained in health checking animals when required. I am currently on Summer Holiday and have a lot of free time to look after anyone's pets. Open to try new things and I'll be communicating effectively to give the care needed. This means ever school holidays I'll be back home and ready to look after any pets. I have a large room needed for any reptiles and amphibians, my cat spends a lot of time outside. I'm good with cats in other people's homes as I find them very passive.
About: I have experience caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including shy, senior, and rescue cats. I'm confident following detailed care instructions, administering oral medication when needed, maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning litter trays, and providing plenty of play, enrichment, and affection at the pace each cat is comfortable with. I'm reliable, organised, and treat every home with the utmost respect. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pet is happy, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages while you're away. My goal is to ensure both you and your cat feel completely at ease, giving you peace of mind throughout your trip. Feeding and providing fresh water Exercise (walks, playtime, enrichment activities) Cleaning up after the pet (litter boxes, cages, accidents, etc.) Basic health checks (watching for changes in appetite, behavior, or energy) Affection and social interaction I follow each pet owner's instructions to maintain the pet's normal routine and ensure their comfort and safety. This includes providing fresh food and water, administering medications if required, taking dogs for walks and exercise, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I also monitor pets for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior and keep owners updated with messages and photos. In both my home and a pet owner's home, I maintain a clean, secure environment and make sure pets receive the care, enrichment, and affection they need while their owners are away. keep all windows secured . Making sure there no hazards
About: I have owned and looked after my dog, a cockapoo, since I was eight years old. We have had her for ten years now, and as I grew up I naturally took on the responsibility of walking her, feeding her and just generally looking after her. Alongside my own dog, I also walk and pet sit for family and friends when they need a hand. Having a dog for most of my life means I am very comfortable with everything that comes with caring for them. I know how much trust it takes to hand your dog over to someone else, and I will always make sure they are safe, happy and well looked after. Because I am at university, any walks or pet sitting during the week will just need to fit around my lecture timetable. I am generally completely free on the weekends though, and I will have loads of availability over the summer holidays once my term finishes. As I only offer walking and pet sitting at your house, your dog gets to stay in their own familiar environment. I am very careful when it comes to safety, always making sure your doors and garden gates are shut properly. I am happy to crate your dog if that is what they are used to, and I will always follow your exact rules for things like feeding and keeping them on the lead when we are out.
“Laura was excellent, she was great in communicating with us and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well cared for during her drop ins. She exceeded our expectations and then some. She also took initiative to learn his routines to help him with his seperation anxiety while we left him alone for thre first time at length. Would highly recommend and use again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments for years, mostly for friends and family who trust me with their pets while they’re away. Animals seem to connect naturally with me; they sense calmness and genuine care, which helps them settle quickly. I focus on making every pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I’m patient, attentive to routines, and adapt easily to each pet’s personality, whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy rescue, or an older companion needing a gentler touch. My schedule is very flexible. I work remotely, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day, from morning walks to evening cuddles. I plan my day around each pet’s needs and routine to keep them relaxed and happy while you’re away. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and maintain open communication with regular photo and message updates. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space respectfully and ensure routines are followed exactly as requested. My goal is always the same, safety, trust, and peace of mind for both you and your pet.
About: Friendly pet sitter with a genuine love for animals all my life. With a few dogs of my own in the past, I've provided excellent care to friends' and neighbours' pets, ensuring a comfortable and happy experience. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to look after your companion! I am available before 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. Flexible to suit your needs. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy haven with daily play and walks. For home visits, I mirror their routine, ensuring comfort. I provide tailored care, from feeding to play, and updates guarantee a positive and stress-free experience for your pets.
About: I’ve taken care of different breeds of dogs since i was 10 and my neighbours have relied on me for walking, changing the dogs water and playing with them while they have been on holiday. I’m currently not working and have all the time in the world to look after your beautiful pets. Also to give them as much attention as they need I have an animal care qualification so can meet all your animals dietary requirements and assist on any guidance if you are struggling on what food suits your animals best.

Zoya was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of our kitten whilst we were away. She provided constant updates and photos/ videos so we had total peace of mind that Layla was receiving the best care possible. Layla loved Zoya too and had lots of attention from her. We will definitely use Zoya again in the future. Thank you!!
David was so accommodating with my last minute booking. He made daily visits to our two young cats and nothing was a problem even when our water had to get turned off for 5 days due to an issue with boiler in our absence. My female cats took to him instantly. David’s daily summaries and pictures were much appreciated as it felt like I was separated from my babies for so long. Would definitely recommend and use services again
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful cat sitter! I found Paris on Rover after hearing so many good things about the site, and this was our first time using it. From the moment Paris came to meet us and our cat, Luna, I immediately knew I had made the right choice. She was warm, kind and genuinely caring, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with Luna. We booked three drop-in visits, and as it was our first time using a pet-sitting service, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Paris was absolutely amazing! She made sure Luna had everything she needed and went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and, of course, tried her best to win her over 😂❤️ Luna is a little different when meeting new people — she doesn’t immediately come over for cuddles or show affection, but once she gets used to you, she becomes incredibly sweet. Paris never gave up trying to gain her trust, even though unfortunately the three visits were probably just a little too short for Luna to fully warm up to her. I really appreciated the care, patience and effort Paris put into every visit. She kept us reassured and made me feel confident that Luna was in very good hands while we were away. I would 100% recommend Paris to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and genuinely lovely pet sitter. We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future! 🐾❤️ Thank you so much, Paris! 🥰
Kasia was absolutely brilliant, and really went the extra mile for us! I swear, the cats were probably upset when we returned from holiday... She sent great content, took lovely care of them, and was truly brilliant. Highly recommend, and our cats insist that she comes back again.
We’re very lucky to have found Jodi. She’s very responsive and highly reliable. She provides photo updates every visit and makes sure to stick around so she can see all my cats. I loved receiving regular photos of how my pet was doing. Highly recommend to any pet owner!
Laura was excellent, she was great in communicating with us and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well cared for during her drop ins. She exceeded our expectations and then some. She also took initiative to learn his routines to help him with his seperation anxiety while we left him alone for thre first time at length. Would highly recommend and use again!
Did a great job looking after our moggie whilst also dealing with foxes getting into the house at the same time as we left a window open! Xin was amazing - super helpful and very understanding whilst also doing the job we originally asked of her e.g. looking after our cat, thanks Xin!
Shuk Han, was brilliant at looking after my cat Zac, he was a bit stand offish when she 1st came round, but by the end of the week, he was greeting her as soon as she visited. This was the 1st time using a cat sitter, so was a little worried having a stranger into my home, but she was great and reassuring, she gave me plenty of updates and photos, every visit, if your looking for a reliable, friendly cat sitter, please give Shuk Han a chance, she was brilliant. 😊

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.
