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: 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.
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.
“Hayley is a trustworthy and reliable pet carer who has a calm manner around our 2 excitable labradors. Hayley has great communications and we will definitely be using her services again - in fact tomorrow! Highly recommended”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Miya is amazing! This was our first time using Cat in a Flat and Miya exceeded all expectations. She responded quickly to our last-minute request, was kind and professional, and made everything easy from start to finish. Miya took amazing care of our cat, Sumo and sent detailed daily updates with photos and videos. Thank you Miya”


“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: I grew up round lots of different animals through out my life. Each and every animal deserves love, care and attention, which is why I love welcoming furry friends into my home to give them the love attention they deserve while you are away! I’m currently at home most of the time with my toodler whom also loves animals! I want to help out those whom need a pet sitter to give their pets the attention and love that they deserve when you are busy! I have a spacious and warm home for your furry friend to roam and play around! I also have a good sized private and fenced garden.
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, I always create a calm, stress-free environment, providing gentle care tailored to each personality and needs. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I work from home full time so I am available to walk and care for any of needs which are required. I’m a qualified accountant and work from home full time. Being part of the rover app is one of my hobbies, caring for pets is something I love and enjoy. I also offer weekly clean/ deep clean if caring for your pet in your home for an additional fee, please request further details on meet and greet. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, play sessions, and any special care. Whether it’s daily visits or overnight stays, I make sure each pet receives attention and affection. I’m reliable, punctual, and flexible, so I can easily adjust to meet your pets routine and ensure they feel secure and comfortable every day. In a pet owner's home, I focus on keeping your pets routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box daily, I work from home so I am always here to give them the attention they need and spend quality time with your through play and affection, based on their comfort level. I also keep the home tidy and can handle tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants.

My goal is always to ensure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I have over four years of professional pet care experience and am passionate about providing safe, reliable, and loving care for animals of all kinds. Prior to this, I worked in a veterinary setting, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for pets and supporting their health and wellbeing. I hold certifications in Pet First Aid and have additional training in pet care, pet training, and dog grooming. My background allows me to confidently care for pets with a wide range of needs and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I currently have three dogs and a rabbit, giving me plenty of personal experience with day-to-day animal care. Over the years, I have built strong relationships with many regular clients who trust me to care for their pets as if they were my own. I love meeting new pets and their owners and look forward to providing attentive, professional care for even more furry friends through Rover. This keeps the emphasis on your experience, qualifications, and client relationships, rather than on running your own pet-sitting business, which may fit Rover’s preferences better. My schedule is flexible, and I plan my day around the pets in my care. I have regular dog walks throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent exercise, enrichment, and companionship for the dogs I look after. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when arranged in advance. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and settled. Pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. I also provide updates, photos, and messages so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. Safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. With previous experience working in veterinary care and certification in Pet First Aid, I am trained to recognise signs of illness, injury, stress, or discomfort and respond appropriately. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines. Dogs are always walked on secure leads unless owners have specifically approved otherwise in a safe, enclosed area. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, behaviour, and any special requirements before providing care. I maintain a clean, secure environment, regularly check gates, doors, and equipment, and ensure pets are supervised appropriately. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, from childhood to the present day. This has given me extensive hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and understanding canine behaviour. I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of providing safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog's individual needs. I offer flexible availability throughout the week and will always do my best to accommodate your pet's routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I aim to provide reliable care and clear communication at all times. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I understand that every pet is unique, with their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to ensure they receive care tailored to them. Whether providing walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I understand the trust involved in caring for your pet and, where applicable, having access to your home. You can expect reliability, respect, and clear communication at all times.
“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! 😊”

“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!”


“Emma has been a fantastic cat sitter all round for us; picking up what was a very last minute booking, being quick to respond, really flexible with timings and instantly got along with the cats during a preliminary visit. She was punctual and thorough with each visit and detailed when it came to filling in the rover card. We loved seeing all the pictures of our cats she provided and could plainly see they enjoyed her visits! A very reliable person who we’ll absolutely be booking again :)”


“I had a great experience with Alia! She took care of my cat for a week and did a wonderful job. 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! :)”

“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”

Miya is such an amazing beautiful soul. I asked her to come as a drop in visit to check on my two cats while I was away and we met beforehand and I showed her around and introduced her to one of the cats as the other is very shy around new people, however, the update photo's and videos Miya sent were of both of the cats which reassured my trust in her even more. She played with them and made sure their litter was clean while I was away. Amazing experience to know they were in such safe hands. Definitely rebooking with Miya for all of my trips and holidays 🥰🥰
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!

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.

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.
