“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.”
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.
“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”
“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!”
“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! 😊”

“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! ”
“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.

My preference is to visit your pets at home in their environment for a more comfortable and stress-free experience. I am happy to pop in and out or stay if that is asked of me.

She visited twice a day to feed him, change his water, play with him, and give him lots of attention and affection. I really appreciated the regular photo and video updates - it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands! :)”

Really enjoyed having Deborah looking after our cat. She was punctual and kept us up to date with everything that he did. We had to change a little bit if what we'd asked her to do over the weekend as all, and she was happy and flexible to accommodate. Would definitely recommend.
Ellie is extremely thoughtful and attentive. Her calm, collected and gentle style shone through at every stage of her various visits. I have an extremely timid, anxious cat who does not favour strangers and prior cat sitters did not go down well. Ellie was a completely different thing: over time my cat started to get more comfortable and even eat in Ellie’s presence one evening which is unheard of. Additionally Ellie spent time with her and applied such level of patience, warmth and understanding, which I love. She went the extra mile by feeding my cat outside the agreed set up on realising that the automatic feeder wasn’t functioning properly (she did not want my cat to go hungry). Her daily updates with photos were my highlight of each day I was away. I loved them! Can’t thank or recommend Ellie enough! She’s a gem!
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 July 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 7,512 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
- 92% 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.
