About: What sets me apart is that animals have always been a big part of my life. I have had pets since I was born, so I have grown up learning how to care for them, understand their personalities, and build strong bonds with them. I have had the privilege of watching my pets grow from young animals into their senior years, adapting their care as their needs changed. I have experience with training and teaching pets tricks through patience, encouragement, and positive interactions, as well as providing extra care, comfort, and attention as they get older. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for like they are part of the family. Pet care is something that already plays a big part in my daily life, as I come from an animal-loving home and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I am currently unemployed and looking for work, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing games, giving lots of fuss and attention, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away, and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping to their usual routine as much as possible. Whether I am caring for them in my own home or in their owner’s home, I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn about their individual needs, personality, and any special requirements they may have. I am happy to provide regular walks, play sessions, cuddles, and companionship, as well as keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel happy and relaxed while giving owners confidence that their beloved pets are being well looked after.

We very recently adopted a puppy while already having two cats. Kelly-Marie paid a drop-in visit to us while my partner and I were attending a wedding. We received lots of updates in the form of pictures and videos and we can tell everyone was well taken care of! Also, our cat Kit, who is an anxious boy and tends to keep himself hidden away from unfamiliar people, even made an appearance so that was great to see!

Jenna was very accomodating and flexible to suit my needs. She is very friendly and passionate about animals and I felt at ease having her look after my special girl. Jenna brought Dolly out of her shell and seems to be a cat whisperer! Jenna also kept me updated with photos and videos which I appreciated a lot. I will be using Jenna to mind Dolly whenever I need her looking after. I highly reccommend. Thanks Jenna :)

Corrina took excellent care of my 3 kitties whilst I was away for a week. She sent me lots of photos, and messages to reassure me. Corrina also hoovered for me to keep on top of the shedding. I came back to three happy, content and well cared for kittens and a spotless house. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again without a doubt.

About: I've had dogs most of my life, we recently lost my families 13 year old patterdale but luckily I've got 2 very energetic Show Cocker Spaniels to keep me busy. Finn (Blue Roan) is 5 and Reggie (Ginger ninja) is 3. They both went to Dogs Trust puppy classes as soon as they were old enough and I've kept up with this training. Reggie has been anxious since getting him with a lot of travel sickness too. I've slowly worked on his confidence and we actually made it to Wales in November without any issues! We love going on walks to the dog park and socialising, a quiet stroll on the canal or training in the garden. I also have a nephew (Archie - border collie) who I've looked after overnight every chance I got when he was younger, he's now 9 and struggling with his mobility so I'm well versed in looking after arthritic dogs who require medication and more mental stimulation. I'm currently working flexible remote hours as a Graphic designer so I can fit around your schedule and even work from your home if your dog needs more company. Hoping to transition into full-time dog walking / sitting Happy to follow your lead in terms of what training you follow and how you structure their day but can also play and teach them some fun things if you are ok with it.

I was really worried about going on holiday and leaving my 12yr old husky and cat in boarding kennels as they've only ever been left when they were younger .. Then someone suggested Rover ... I searched the list and came upon Anna , and I can honestly say after being away for 10days I didn't worry about my girls once , Anna is amazing she has a deep understanding and empathy for animals and she put me at so much ease , I got daily photos and videos and she went totally above and beyond to make sure my girls were made to feel loved and that they weren't being left alone ... they love her (and that's a big thing for my cat!!) She has an amazing way with animals and I can honestly say I will never use anyone else again , she will always be my go to , I don't think my furbabies would have it any other way either ... I cannot thank her enough for how she looked after them x

About: Hi, I’m Jasmin! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. From the age of 12 until I left for university at 18, I ran a dog walking and pet sitting service in my village, caring for pets for local families. Since moving to Liverpool after graduating, I’ve continued looking after dogs and cats for friends and family, both in my own home and theirs, for anything from daily visits to longer stays. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love, and it’s remained a big part of my life over the years. I recently bought my first home in Liverpool, where I can offer a calm, safe, and loving environment for your pet. As I work from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day, and I’m able to stick closely to their usual routine. I provide boarding, doggy day care, dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits, always tailoring my care to your pet’s individual personality and needs. I also have a large, secure outdoor area; pets will never be left outside unattended. I had my own beloved Pomapoo, Crunchie, for 16 wonderful years, who sadly passed away in November 2025. Towards the end of her life, she required ongoing medication and extra care due to multiple health conditions, so I’m confident administering medication and caring for senior dogs or pets with additional needs. Losing her reminded me just how much our pets mean to us, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with them. For the last 4 years I have also shared my home with an Exotic Shorthair cat called Cloud, giving me plenty of experience caring for cats as well as dogs.( PLEASE NOTE: I no longer live with a cat I am a pet free home.) I know that every animal has their own unique personality, preferences, and routine, and I always take the time to get to know them so they feel comfortable, secure, and happy in my care. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. Whether they enjoy long walks, playing games, curling up on the sofa for cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and in loving hands. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet with someone else, so my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family member or members! I work from home, so I’m able to provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. This also allows me to stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or medication. I’m flexible and available for boarding, doggy/ cat day care, walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week and at weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with a large outdoor area. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special requirements, to help them feel settled and at ease. As I work from home, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship.

About: 🐾 Loving and Reliable Dog Care from a Full-Time Mum 🐾 Hello! My name is Daniela, and I am a Brazilian full-time mum living in the UK. I spend most of my time at home caring for my friendly 3-year-old son, which means I can provide plenty of attention, supervision and companionship for the dogs in my care. Although I am not a professional dog trainer, I have experience looking after dogs for close friends while they were away on holiday. I have always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Now that I am not currently working, I am excited to turn that passion into something meaningful while helping other pet owners feel confident that their dogs are being well cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles or simply relaxing in a calm home environment, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved during their stay. As I have a young child at home, I only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around children. My goal is to provide a safe, caring and family-oriented environment where your dog will be treated as one of the family. I am happy to send regular updates, photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I spend most of my time at home and only go out for daily errands and to take my child to school. This means your pet will always have someone nearby and will be well cared for at all times. have a large fenced garden with a securely locked gate that leads to the street, ensuring your pet is always safe, supervised, and able to enjoy outdoor time comfortably

About: Hi, I’m Francesca! I’m a recently graduated vet providing pet care in the Crosby area. I am happiest when spending time with animals, and I would love to provide pet care services for your dog/cat! I have been looking after pets for 3 years alongside my studies, and I have absolutely loved getting to know the personality of each and every dog I have cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand that it can be daunting leaving your pet with someone else, which is why I aim to make the process as stress free as possible: I provide a (free) initial meet and greet, as well as regular updates with pictures as often as you would like! I have experience caring for my own dog, Daisy, a Springer Spaniel cross, who has plenty of energy and needs lots of stimulation. She has recently lost her vision entirely, and so I welcome any dogs with visual impairments as I feel confident in being able to manage this. I have experience with energetic dogs who require lots of play and interaction, as well as more laid back dogs who may require a slower pace. Just let me know what your dog needs and I will adapt my services to suit them. My goal is always to prioritise the individual needs of your pet to keep them happy and safe! I also have experience in owning cats, and I have previously been a volunteer at Freshfields Animal rescue (back at home in Liverpool) in the cattery, so I am used to following different dietary requirements and also administering medicine in food. I would love to help look after your pet, and love them as if they were my own! Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions or requests, thanks for reading! I am able to be quite flexible with my timetable so don’t hesitate to message with your required date and I’ll let you know if I’m available :) I will follow any instructions given by the owner, such as keeping dogs on leads at all times, or keeping them out of certain rooms in the house. Can also do small household tasks when house sitting if required, such as watering plants, taking in mail etc.

About: I’m 23 years old and currently living at home, where I’m lucky to be surrounded by family—and my adorable dog, Max my 13-year-old Shih Tzu is the calm, gentle presence in the house. He’s has such a sweet, wise nature. Growing up with max has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and finding joy in the little things. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home, spending time with them keeps life grounded and fulfilling. It’s a simple rhythm, but one that’s full of love, connection, and meaning. 

Services I offer:
✨ Overnight Stays: Keeping your dog safe and happy in the comfort of their own home while you’re away.
✨ Day Visits: Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, cuddles, and toilet breaks.
✨Dog walks: Tailored walk to suit your dogs energy and needs 
✨Dog boarding: A home from home experience with plenty of care, play and cuddles. (Dog would need to get on with other dogs)
Available for short notice bookings, weekends, and holidays. 🐶 I’m currently working as a trainee accountant, gaining hands-on experience while studying toward my qualifications. Within this role I split my time between the office and home, working remotely two days a week. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I don’t use crate training—instead, they’re free to roam around the house and make themselves comfortable. I also have a safe, fenced back garden where they can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and exercise under supervision. Whether in my home or a pet owner’s home, I make sure their routine is kept as close to normal as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and cuddles—so they feel secure, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I've had cats and dogs since I was just 1. I have always grown up and loved them unconditionally all my life. I treat every animal like family and as the friend that they are. Every animal has their own personality and I'd love to get to know your dog/cat better also 😊 I work full-time 3 days a week, on a 3 on 3 off basis. So I am available for bookings on my 3 days off work or at extra times throughout the year when I am on leave. Just enquire with a booking to see if I'm available 😊 I have a fur baby and cats of my own, that all love meeting new people. Which will give your little family member someone to have fun with if they board with me. If I am sitting in your own home, I have plenty of experience of caring for dogs and cats, as I've had them since a very young age continuously throughout my life. I treat every animal I meet as family and will give them all the best care and love that I can possibly offer.

About: I’m looking for dog owners around Crosby who would like regular walks for their dogs health and wellbeing. Happy to do off-lead walking with recall-trained dogs after checking their obedience with a new walker, but also have experience with dogs who need to stay on lead for more sniffy walks. I am studying Environmental Management with the Open University so fitting in dog walking alongside studying part-time. I try to walk or cycle to most of my clients and am based near Crosby Village. If I sound like a good fit for you, please get in touch! 🚴🏼‍♀️ 🦮 🐾 I’m currently studying part-time with the Open University so generally quite flexible. I am trying to keep my dog walking schedule to two to three days per week! Happy to drop-in to your home to care for your pet and will make every effort to follow the care routine your dog is used to (e.g. feeding / walking schedule, when they can be treated etc.). Happy to follow your lead as the owner (no pun intended!)

About: I’ve owned a cat for 18 years but I also have several years’ experience in looking after a large dog. I spend most of my days caring for humans & my spare time caring for animals! I work shifts so I can accommodate most days/evenings. I work 2 weekends per month, but I can always call in before or after work. My availability only filters out holidays not my shifts, but shifts are provided to you upon booking so you can decide if it is suitable. I no longer accept boarding or sitting in my own home due to my cat Mitzi being the queen of our castle! I will maintain your home to the highest of standards.

Michelle is a very kind person, and an obvious cat lover. Our usually very nervous cat was so calm when we returned from holiday as Michelle had obviously looked after her so well, and was really helpful generally. We would absolutely recommend her.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sefton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sefton on Rover is £12.65 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 1,309 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Sefton. About 92% of Sefton 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
