“Ondine was very lovely with Ginger and went beyond my expectations for a catsitter. We had daily updates with pictures and videos. Would definitely book again and also would recommend to friends.”
“It is my first time using Catinaflat - Hayley was amazing! She visited my two cats beforehand to meet them and to find out their routine. She messaged me frequently to keep me updated and sent pictures. My two cats were very content when I got home. Highly recommend. Thank you :) ”
“Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of Lady over the last August bank holiday weekend while we were in Bournemouth. Lady was so excited to see you every time you arrived and she came back to us very happy. Thanks for being flexible and looking after her at your home instead when our plans needed to change, for collecting her / dropping her off each day and for your regular updates. We knew Lady was in safe hands with Rachel. Will book again next time we are visiting. Thanks again! :)”
“Three very happy greyhounds , Laura fed and spent an hour with them whilst we were out all day. Sent us some pics of very relaxed and happy dogs . We came home to some chilled hounds . Will definitely book Laura again”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life since I was a child, and we have owned various breeds. Most recently we had a labrador, Ella who we sadly recently lost at 10.5years old. So I have experience caring for senior dogs and giving medications if required (I'm also a registered nurse). I've informally cared for family and friends dogs, taking them for walks, completing check-ins and having overnight stays at my home. Currently we haven't yet got another dog, so have a pet-free home with a large secure garden. Looking forward to getting to know your furry friends and taking them on some outdoor adventures 🐾 I do shift work so have several days free each week to be available for your dog's needs. For overnight stays I would need advance notice, and can only be accommodated in my own home. I have a large secure garden and able to provide 1:1 interaction for your furry friend. Also have a dog crate available and dog ramp for senior or those with mobility issues if going on some longer walks.
“Thank you so so much Amber! Elvis loved his visits from you and you were so easy to deal with and make arrangements. Nothing was too much trouble … even a very excitable boy! Would definitely recommend! :)”
About: I have grown up owning dogs, fish, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamster's and cats. My nursing career has helped me develop the qualities that are also important in excellent pet care: patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I carefully manage my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so when your pet is in my care, you can feel confident that they will receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I work locally as an NHS nurse, so I’m available for pet care on weekends, after 5pm on weekdays and during periods of annual leave. I’m reliable and organised and will always make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the care, attention and companionship they need. I’m responsible, caring and used to putting wellbeing and safety first. I’ll bring the same level of care and attention to looking after your pet. I understand the importance of following routines, instructions and individual needs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Due to the nature of my profession I am DBS checked.
“Absolutely amazing cat sitter. One of our kitties is very shy and I expected her to stay hidden clearly I was wrong! Nat worked her magic well and both kitties were relaxed and looked forward to her visits. The photos and updated messages kept me from missing my girls. I'm sure they'll be missing you. Thank you for everything!!”

I have also had some experience of working in a farm, kennels and pet shop. Throughout my life I have dealt with various different types of animals from snakes to sheep, from new born puppies to old cats with kidney failure. I have also owned a variety of animals throughout my life, including, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice and chickens. I work 37.5 hours a week but I have most weekends and evenings off which means I available to do drop in visits and walkies!! However my work rota is sometimes flexible so please feel free to message and I will try my best to help. Drop in visits would be carried out in your own home but I will ensure the health and safety of your pet throughout and comply with any instructions you give me. I will keep the walks safe and siutable for the breed and age of the dog.
“Tegan was very flexible and available at short notice today. She was accommodating to my needs for dog sitting and showed up on time. Tegan made a real effort with my dog and kept me updated on how the sitting session was going! Tegan is a lovely person and I felt like I could trust her in my home and especially with my dog I will definitely be a regular customer. Thank you ❤️”
“Izzy is so friendly and a lovely person. She was amazing with my puppy Winston. He loved his cuddles and playtime with her. Izzy kept me informed and sent me pictures and videos which helped settle me. I will definitely be booking with Izzy again! ☺️”
About: I absolutely adore all animals! I am patient, kind and caring. I would love to take care, walk and feed your fur babies for you when needed. I have welcomed quite a few pets into my home over the past year now and I know some great spots for dog walks! I teach swimming lessons Monday to Wednesday from 1pm-7:30pm and then work from home Thursday to Friday and have the weekends free for nice long walks I live in a 2 bedroom flat which is quite spacious, I have a large fenced off garden and I have some lovely dog walks near by. I would require their dog bowls/food & a doggy bed. I can provide the rest. I can provide regular potty breaks as I am home most of the time.
“I am extremely grateful to Dylan for watching my digs while I was away. Dylan was great my dogs and they were well cared for while I was away. I had no concerns abs would definitely use Dylan again.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog. I treat each pet as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, reliable, and comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether it's an energetic puppy that needs consistency and positive reinforcement, or a senior dog that requires a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort, I'm happy to tailor my care to suit them. I believe in keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. My goal is to provide a fun, stress-free experience where your pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, and one-on-one attention in a safe and caring environment. I work five days a week, but I make time every day for pet care. Walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention are all part of my routine, ensuring every dog gets the care and companionship they need. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in their own home, I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also keep their environment clean and provide updates with photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Proud owner of a loving, sociable and well-behaved dog. I’m also familiar with cats as I grew up with 5 in total in my family home. My aim is to productively help out other pet owners and make fur friends along the way! Rest assured, with me, your fur babies will get loving and trusted walks & visits. I am self-employed and flexible with my daily routine and will endeavour to accommodate customers to the best of my ability. I’m an active individual which means I’m an ideal dog walker for your fur baby! I am also flexible for drop-in visits for your cats and dogs. I will also keep you updated regularly and can send photos from visits and walks I don’t care for pets in my home as I do not have a boarding licence; however, there are plenty of fields, trails and a cycle track where I live allowing plenty of exercise and sniffs for dogs and I am happy to drive further out with your dog(s) for a variety of enrichment
“Catarina did a wonderful job caring for our family cat. She played with him when she dropped by and gave him love and affection. She updated us all the time, providing great detail and photographs. Keta (cat) bonded with her very quickly as well. As a whole we all loved Catarina :)”
About: I grew up around working dogs and will be looking to get my own dog soon! I love dogs and I always have, myself and my partner have also got two spoiled cats in our house so I have experience with cats also. I have dogsat for friends and family and wholly loved the experience, I also trained all of my own dogs growing up so I fully understand that every animal has their own unique traits and personality. I'm always available to pop in and take care of your pets! Be it a short toilet break and water check or a good long walk, I'm happy to learn your rules and expectations and make sure that your animal is as happy as possible while I'm around. And if they're not the social type - thats fine too! I'll always have water with me on walks to make sure we both stay hydrated. I'll keep your dog on a lead at all times and am happy to take less social dogs out at quieter times to ensure they get a good walk in. I'm also happy to film and photograph both home visits and walks so you know your pet is receiving the best care possible while you're away. I also 100% encourage a meet and greet beforehand for you and your animal, so they can get a sizing of me and so you know who you're dealing with!

Amber, thank you for a brilliant service. I’d never left my two cats before but Amber reassured me on the meet and greet and I felt these pair would be ok with her. I not expect them to be as relaxed as they were! From the many photos Amber sent the pair of them looked like they were loving her company 😁 Will definitely be booking again!

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.
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
