“We can't recommend Emma highly enough. Our cat has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and we were considering cancelling our holiday, but Emma was well-skilled in caring for cats and administering the injections. She visited us twice before we went and kept us updated with daily reports and photos. We'll definitely be asking for Emma again! ”
“Thanks so much, Miya! 🥰 We are so incredibly grateful for your amazing care of Bella and Bob—knowing they were in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of everything”
“Rebecca was really lovely person to deal with was enthusiastic in looking after Willow and did everything she needed. I would definitely recommend her to look after your loved pets and I’ll be using her again! 😊”
“Georgia looked after my cat for a week and everything was perfect. She kept us in the loop with photos and updates and we kept us at ease. I’d happily reach out to Georgia again if our cat needs looking after! 😊”
“Our second time having Hayley look after our cat Bumble while we went on holiday and as before she has gone above and beyond for us, nothing has been too much trouble. Hayley is always very friendly, hard working and approachable for anything needed. We would jump at the chance to book Hayley next time we need a cat sitter! Thanks so much again.”
“Daniel was very kindly able to accommodate my booming request at short notice and came by to meet the cats and understand their routine the next day. He was very friendly, polite and reliable and kept me updated on how it’s going at home while I was away. I’d be more than happy to rebook when the need comes up again. Thanks, Dan!”
About: Hello! I am a passionate animal lover who finds real joy in caring for cats or dogs. I can offer home sitting, boarding, drop in checks and general dog walking services in a safe, fun and loving way. Your dog will enjoy walks in their local area or afar if they can travel in a car (dog hammock for full back seat and dog seat belt are provided for my car), playtime, cuddles on the couch and plenty of attention in a calm environment. Have looked after friends dogs and cats over many years, more regularly in the last two years covering drop ins, boarding, sitting and dog walking. Each time the pets are very happy and content. I currently work remotely from home 3 days a week with 2 days office based so my routine is based around: - AM walk - PM walk Depending on your distance from me and the booking requirements (boarding, sitting, drop-in etc) variations to the above can change and are flexible. - Car travel I provide a fully waterproof back seat hammock and dog seat belt should your dog require exercise at a location that is beyond a reasonable walking distance. - Keep dogs on leads at all times, albeit on an extended/retractable lead if available. Willing to take off lead if permission is provided and your pet shows sufficient recall to me. - Before any booking is confirmed, I will suggest a meet n greet with you and your furry friend to build trust and familiarity where we can then go over specific requirements and personality quirks.
About: PLEASE NOTE: This profile is for both my partner, Holly, and I. The main experience from pet sitting comes from me but unfortunately I do not drive and rely on my girlfriend for transport, she also has some experience, if you have any worries or concerns then please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! Also, I work as well as dog sitting so please don’t forget to read all of my profile, thank you! I have lived with animals ever since I can remember. I have had many family dogs and cats that I have cared for. I think this is where my love of animals has stemmed from. I have also looked after family members, friends and neighbours animals. I attended Merrist Wood college studying animal management, including kennel work, we would look after the teachers dogs daily, which ranged from puppies to elderly dogs of different breeds. I am currently part-time working from 6am-12pm and 5am-11am Tuesday to Saturday, I am free any time after around 12pm. I do not work Sunday or Monday so I will be able to walk dogs on this day as well. I obey house rules, such as, no dogs/cats upstairs if they aren’t allowed. I am also confident with crating your animal if needs be. I am tidy when staying at your house and will give your pet all the love they need. It would be both my partner and I staying at your house as she is the one that currently drives out of us both at the moment, any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
“Sam took great care of our cat oreo while we visited family over Christmas. Oreo was happy and relaxed when we came back. Sam kept us updated daily with progress and photos , it was very reassuring. Highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter and would definitely use again.”
“Mac is absolutely wonderful! We are so glad to have found her in our local area after moving! She looked after our kitten for 3 weeks, has always sent photos, videos and gave him plenty of cuddles! Organisation level 100! We have never felt so eased when away. Thank you Mac - you’re an absolute star! 🌟”
“Lucy was amazing from start to finish. Her initial communication was quick and efficient, the first meet up was lovely and gave us lots of confidence. Both our boys really liked her which was evident when she popped over to return keys and Pico went straight up to her for strokes. Consistent communication and photo updates whilst we were away which both entertained and reassured us. Couldn’t recommend Lucy enough”
“Another perfect visit from Roxana! Our Dalmatian definitely enjoys when I have to go in to work now, so he can hang out with Roxana and treated to bones 😊 huge thank you again 😊”
“We were very lucky to have Antony helping us look after our cat Luffy while we were away. He made sure Luffy always had fresh water, a clean environment, attention and cuddles. Most importantly, he managed to earn the trust of our little scaredy cat, which says a lot! Would definitely recommend him.”
“Tao has been incredibly reliable and caring. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos of Kushary while we were away, which gave us great peace of mind. Kushary clearly adores her, and we’re so happy we found her. We will definitely be reaching out to Tao again in the future! 😊”
About: I’ve lived in many houses and can deal with most situations calmly and sensibly. I have owned springer spaniels and have experience sitting for King Charles spaniels, working Cocker spaniels, a variety of terriers, mini Schnauzers, Labradors and cockapoos. I’ve looked after old dogs, blind and deaf as well as younger energetic ones - but I do like them to have some training so I’m not being towed around and then we can have fun together while I keep your pet safe and happy. I like to meet you and your dog(s) before sitting for you. During school terms I am mainly available in the weekday mornings but may cover sitting in the evenings Mon-Fri and possibly some weekends as well with enough notice. I am happy to stay in your house for longer periods with your pet (s) but these sits are usually only available in school holidays. I’m happy to travel within the UK coast and countryside for house sitting and have done a number of sits in central Scotland.. I prefer to care for dogs in their own home and neighbourhood where they feel most comfortable but can drive them to longer walks (depending on size of dog!). I can care for young puppies though I’m also used to older dogs who need company and short frequent walks/toilet breaks. Im experienced with most medications and special care vet though not injections. I’ll just try to keep your dog safe and happy around your home and out for exercise - and will send you updates/photos as often as you like.
“Ester was brilliant - great communication, took initiative and looked after our cat Noah brilliantly, despite him only making an appearance for her once the entire week! Would definitely use her brilliant services again, thank you Ester! Xx”
About: Caring for my rescue dog from Romania, who was timid and scared, has taught me patience, understanding and how to confidently handle dogs of all personalities. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I can offer walks, playtime, and drop ins most days. I’ll do my best to fit around your dog’s routine! I don’t currently accommodate dogs at my home. All walks and visits would take place outside or at your home, where your dog can feel safe and relaxed.
“Jocelyn was a great sitter for my dog - really reliable and responsive, giving me great confidence while I was out. And it was clear she really cared for my dog, who was super happy to see her for another time!”
The median cost per Visit for cat sitting in Runnymede is £14

Yet again Jo was amazing! Our cat loves her - she might start begging us to go away soon so she can have all the attention Jo gives her! It is also reassuring knowing we can totally rely on Jo, she is dependable and very thorough. I love her regular updates and photos, too. We are so lucky to have her looking after Iz.
Sam took great care of our cat oreo while we visited family over Christmas. Oreo was happy and relaxed when we came back. Sam kept us updated daily with progress and photos , it was very reassuring. Highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter and would definitely use again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Runnymede on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of August 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 8,051 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Runnymede. About 90% of Runnymede 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. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
