Bertie is a typical working cocker spaniel, 14 months old and full of beans. Jessica was unfazed by his bouncy, over exuberant behaviour and her experience with spaniels shone through. She was polite, punctual and Bertie loved her! All in all a very positive experience with the drop in service Jessica provided for us and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica going forwards.

We’re extremely happy with the care Sushi received! Mirrand is clearly very experienced with cats and genuinely loves and understands them. She spent lots of quality time with Sushi—playing music, interacting with her, giving her plenty of cuddles and attention, and brushing her fur. She also kept everything very clean and tidy. When we came home, Sushi was happy, healthy, relaxed, clean, and clearly very well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. We’re very satisfied and truly grateful for all the care and attention. Highly recommended! ❤️🐱

About: Hello! My name is Louise and I am animal obsessed and have been for my entire life. I have pet sat since early teens and have 3 separate animal based qualifications. I am currently running a small educational animal sanctuary and a dog grooming parlour. I also compete at flyball with our own dogs. I have years of experience working with animals doing things such as pet sitting, walking and training among many other things. We have 3 children who also adore animals and are turing into great little helpers and trainers in their own right. Animals in our care are looked after as our own and really become part of the family. We love taking any dogs in our care with us on day trips and some even enjoy coming camping with us in the caravan when we go to dog events. A little holiday of their own! Most of the income we make from pet sitting goes straight back into our animal sanctuary to help us care for our rescues, so its all for a good cause! Your dog will become part of the family, joining us for animal sanctuary duties, dog walks, going to the grooming room and more. They can join us at flyball in the caravan where they will be utterly spoilt. We are happy to care for a wide range of animals and have knowledge from dogs to guineapigs, to parrots and snakes we do it all. We work with the animals and their personalities having cared for very nervous and reactive dogs to the cuddliest rabbits you have ever met. We work with them all and my knowledge and qualifications in animal behaviour are invaluable!

We have nothing but a big thank you to Heather for looking after our Monty with her good care. This was the first time for us to use Rover but she was patient answering any of our questions and eased our anxiety leaving Monty at home for 2 weeks. She is professional and has good observation as well as very friendly. Her comments and lots of photos from her visits have assured us that Monty has been relaxed and happy for his company with Heather. We definitely would not hesitate and come back to her next time again. Thank you verymuch.

About: I offer one-to-one dog sitting and walking. I have always had dogs and our house is now sadly dog free so I am looking to help other local dogs owners. I enjoy long dog walks and take pride in looking after animals as if they were my own. Years of experience with dogs, horses, cats and small animals and enjoy being outdoors. We have plenty of forest walks available. My time is flexible and I work from home so if there are specific dates required that don’t show up on my calendar, please do ask. I works flexi hours from home so my schedule can fit around your dogs needs and walks and they are never left for long periods of time. I have a large fenced garden and woodland within short walking distance for walks. Dogs have access to the whole of the house. **Please note: any dogs booked in will need to be non-reactive (playful / excitable is fine but reactive I cannot accommodate due to having a young child in the household)**

About: Since i was a baby I've grown up around many different kinds of animals, as well as being raised in a 4 cat, 1 dog household until i was 15. I dealt with high energy pets. I was also often left in charge of my cousins cocker spaniel, for long periods of time, where my requirements were to walk, feed a special diet, and play with for multiple hours in a day, sometimes more than a few days back to back. Over time i learned to adjust my care to suit my pets ages, my Yorkshire terrier has had asthma and a collapsed trachea for most of her life, i understand how to care for a dog with health issues along with cats, my senior 18 year old Bengal has many of her own health issues and needs special accommodation for her separation anxiety and dietary requirements. I am well versed on giving medications in various forms, and I'm not afraid to provide these to bigger dogs. Along with this, i have previously helped my own sister with her professional dog sitting for the past year when she's needed extra support for bigger dogs or fuller households, though i am able to manage this task on my own too. I currently don't work, so my schedule is completely open, and I'm more than happy to dedicate as much time as you need to accommodate your pets! Anything that may take a lot of time in a week is the perfect fit for me, i love spending time getting to know and understand your animals. I have a very private garden that backs onto other gardens, separated by a fence, and fitted for all dogs. I have fake grass which highly reduces the chance of ticks especially at this time of year, and it is located in a quiet neighborhood with no noisy traffic or noise during the day or especially at night. I have a larger open house, big enough for larger dogs to roam around and explore! My neighborhood is quiet and rather large, with many various places to walk dogs.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life! Ex dog handler so used to all types of dogs which was all about training and looking after the dogs. I also studying animal management, including canine care at college when I was younger. Previously had cats at my family home too. I currently work shifts so I have lots of spare time when I’m not at work in the fitness industry! I love being around/working with animals especially dogs so this is perfect whilst I hopefully transition out of the fitness industry and into canine behaviour! My little French bulldog absolutely owns the house!! She sleeps where she likes and has full access to the whole house and that’s just how I like to treat other pets! They are a blessing to have with us in this life and I wouldn’t want them treated any differently!

About: I started dog walking as a teenager and have always grown up around pets. I am now a cat-dad to two British Shorthairs. I love meeting all animals and can't wait to meet your pets! I am an insured pet sitter. I am fully self-employed and work remotely from home so I am often available at short notice. My wife is able to look after our own cats should I be needed to house sit for long periods of time for your pets. I appreciate very clear instructions. I always prefer to err on the side of caution and will take safety extremely seriously. I am happy to do meet & greets if it means getting the chance to have a thorough understanding of your pet's specific needs.

Lucy went through lots of questions with me about what Stormi likes or dislikes and what she would do whilst I was away and vet contact details just incase, very thorough. Whilst I was away she sent me daily updates with photos, my cat looked very happy. Thank you Lucy, I will definitely be rebooking again with you for my next holiday Sophie

About: I’m a Labrador mum and have looked after family and friends dogs for many years. My daughter works from my house so dogs are very rarely left alone. I retired two years ago so I have lots of time to walk, train and play with pup. I love dogs so this is a great way to pass my time. My house is like a home from home they are allowed on the sofas and have a lovely big enclosed safe garden to play in.

About: I have had pets of all kinds my whole life and my partner and I have just welcomed our own pup into our home- a little cockapoo called Paisley. Ever since I was a small child I have had the responsibility of cleaning and looking after fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs and rabbits. I have been a dog walker for neighbours and house sat for cats and dogs for friends and family for years as well. I know that the school holidays and the weekends are a time where lots of families struggle to get away or have days out because of pet care so I want to offer a solution, as a teacher who loves animals. I am currently working part time and mostly from home in a job where I get to choose my hours so would love to help however I can :) We have one pet- Paisley- who is very friendly and good with dogs of lots of breeds, I would recommend our pups meeting before the booked service though to ensure they get along- and we have no children. We have a garden with high fences and when we have dog sat in our home the dogs have been happy and content here. I am used to walking dogs both on and off the lead, whatever your preference, and my house is a short walk away from a lovely park. If your dog is happy to be in the car, there are lots of woodland walks and fields to explore very nearby. As a fellow dog owner, I understand the importance of having confidence in who would be looking after your fur baby and so I am happy to follow any rules or routines that you have in pace with your dog at home to ensure you, and your dog, are happy and comfortable.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats since birth, learning responsibility and beginning to care for them myself around the age of 10, walking dogs, training them, playing with them and feeding them. I have had 1 year experience with walking and caring for clients pets. As it is currently summer, without a part time job, I will have a lot of weekend and weekday availability, at all hours of the day, up until September. I have two dogs and a cat at my house, I feed them, occasionally walk them, and play with them. As one of my dogs are reactive, I ensure their walking time is at a quiet hour so that they can enjoy their walk without stress of other people.

Our first time using Rover and having a cat sitting. Jess did such an amazing job of putting our minds at ease She arranged for a meet & greet before we went away to meet the cats and then kept us up to date with photos and comment on how the cats were. The cats instantly took to Jess which is all you really need to know. Highly recommend. Thank you Jess.

Becca is amazing! This is the first time we have left our two indoor cats whilst we went away so I was a little anxious, but absolutely no reason to be, Becca has brilliant communication & sent lots of pictures & videos after every visits. My cats were really well looked after & when we arrived home it was as though we hadn’t even been away. Were really pleased to have found Becca & will definitely be using her again 😀

I'm always nervous going away and leaving our 2 kitties. Needn't have been as Charlie is fantastic. Her updates, photos, and thoughtful care gave us real peace of mind. She went above and beyond to ensure they were looked after and getting their meds. Tackled a few auto feeder problems encountered too. Skylar loved playing with the toys she brought along. Luna shocked us all by coming out of hiding the last few days, unheard of with other sitters. We’ll definitely book her again, highly recommended! Thank you Charlie xx

I highly recommend Emma. Emma was absolutely brilliant with our cat, who is normally quite picky at who he allows to stroke him, and within the first couple of visits she was able to give him head tickles. She gave us lovely updates each day with photos and was very responsive to messages. I am so glad to have found Emma, and will continue to use her in the future.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rushmoor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rushmoor 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 4,131 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Rushmoor. About 90% of Rushmoor 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
