“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! ”
“This was our first time using a cat sitter, and Miya was perfect! She was patient, caring and very professional. We will definitely try to use her services again next time we are away! Highly recommend.”
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.
“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.”
“We adopted Pickle 18 months ago and It is the first time that we have needed to leave her. We were worried as she is a wary cat but Catherine has been great and completely handled the situation perfectly. We were only away for a short time but will be going away again soon and feel happy and confident that Catherine will be taking excellent care of her again.”
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.
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.
“Hayley has been absolutely amazing. I was nervous when first looking for a cat sitter but Hayley immediately put me at ease. Cleo was comfortable and confident around her, I got regular photos and feedback. She went above and beyond for us! I could not recommend her more highly! Thank you so so so much for looking after my furry friend!! I will 100% be using her again! X x”
“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! 😊”
“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: I have had pets the last 30 plus years. Until recently I had 2 massive ginger toms, TJ and Boo and a border collie called Dino. Sadly, my last furry friend passed away. I miss them. I plan on getting a dog at some stage but it’s early days so in the meantime my daughter suggested I register with Rover. I’ve always looked after dogs and cats for my friends and neighbours since I was a child. I love animals - my best thing is going for a walk in nature with a furry friend. I even took my cats for walks round our very large garden - well they would follow me! I’m semi-retired and work from home. We have had pets in the house for years - we are relaxed about beds and furniture and are happy for pets to sleep in the bedrooms either in their bed or on the bed! I have a very large garden and a small woods. I always go out into the garden with any pets I look after. I live on the river so may not be suitable for any dog that’s crazy about water - as soon as they see it they dive in! Dino, my border collie, would only go in if he could see the bottom! Obviously happy to have getting to know you visits beforehand. Before going on walks I do a recall assessment so I can gauge how responsive they are. I trained Dino with lots of positive reinforcement - am happy to use treats too if permitted by owner.
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 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 can guarantee that your pet will be surrounded by lots of love and care. Animals appreciate a friendly, calm and caring being, so when we meet they’ll soon feel confident and safe. Happy to add additional meet before the first booked session. I am DBS checked. I have a fenced garden. I do not use pet cages (unless an owner specifically requests it) and will use owners own one. I treat all animals as part of the family and don't think they should be kept in cages. Your dogs will be cuddled, loved, played with....and will return to you happy! **The three spaniels and cat are all residents at my family home and aren’t here with me all the time. If you fur baby requires just 1-2-1 time, care and home that will be honoured. If they are happy to mix with other dogs, we will often meet up with my dogs for walks and play time. ** Do you need a loving home for your pets while you’re away/at work or out for the day?

“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!”
“Dorota did a great job checking in on and walking Pippin. She took the time to meet him beforehand and was great with communication throughout. I’d be happy to have her look after Pippin again in the future!”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Runnymede
Hayley was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for better. We were away for a long time at 3 weeks and I was really anxious about leaving the cats for that long, but she has a way with animals and they immediately took to her, especially Poppy who’s is usually a bit shy. I usually have cameras set up when we go away but the daily reports and pictures were so reassuring that by day 4-5 I was barely checking the cameras which I usually do multiple times a day. She went above and beyond as well, there was an issue with flies/maggots getting into the bin and she emptied it and completely cleaned it out before we got back. I couldn’t recommend Hayley more!
Miya was absolutely amazing, from the point of booking/arranging dates, right up to us returning home to the cats. She sent detailed updates every day, loads of photos and videos, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our cats We cannot thank her enough and would only ever use her if/when we travel again in future. Thanks again Miya! You are amazing 🙂
Edith was amazing with Simba and Jazz! Leaving my cats is always hard, but getting photos and updates from her every day made me feel so much better. I could tell right away that Simba and Jazz loved having her around and were super well cared for. She was easy to message with, left the house super clean, and I came home to two very happy cats. I'll definitely ask Edith to cat sit again!
Deborah is a brilliant, kind, and very reassuring cat sitter. Our cat Perdi hadn't been rehomed with us for much more than a couple of months when we went away for our summer holiday so I was a little nervous, but Deborah sent me a picture and an update every morning so we knew Perd was doing well.
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!
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 September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 8,756 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
- 96% 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.
