About: I grew up with Boxer dogs, and have experience house sitting and dog walking. I enjoy long walks along the coast, and would love some 4 legged company. If you would prefer us to stay indoors, please let me know what music and TV they enjoy, sometimes it helps to have something you watch on in the background. I'm currently work part time, I enjoy morning walks, and would love a 4 legged friend to join me. I have alot of flexibility, and can be avaliable at short notice. For walks, it is good for your dog to meet me, and see how we get on. I always have doggy bags and treats! Ask as many questions as you need to.
“Mads has looked after Luna three times now and they have become the best of friends. We always go away safe in the knowledge that she is being well looked after and always return to a very happy and contented cat.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing. She came in gave our bella lots of fuss, and let her out to the toilet. did go above and beyond also by picking up her poops! and disposing of it! which she didn't have to but we really appreciate it! She showed so much care and love for our girl, we could not have wished for anyone more compassionate. Have already booked her again!”
“Milena was excellent - really great communication before and throughout the drop-in, and sent pictures of our little chihuahua all happy and relaxed during her visit! Would definitely recommend and will book with her again ☺️”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs my whole life, had two growing up, a boy and a girl. I also get to look after my sisters lovely Dachshund regularly:) I can be available most days, working around school drop off times. I am available most weekdays, I will have to schedule around the school run so won’t be able to do first thing in the morning but will be available after school drop off. I will ask you questions about your dog, likes, fears, any particular behaviours they may have, if they’re allergic to anything. Dogs will be kept on leads when out and on walks, unless stated otherwise by owners.
About: Hi, I’m Heather! I’m 35 and I’ve spent years caring for dogs and animals of all personalities and am lucky enough to have four dogs of my own 🐾 I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy and reliable, which is why I focus on creating a safe and loving environment for every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, home visits or pet sitting, I always treat pets like they’re my own 🥰 I’m based locally in Hythe (just up behind The Bell pub) and I keep my schedule flexible so I can provide reliable walks, home visits and pet sitting throughout the week 🐾 I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care and company, while keeping to their normal routines as much as possible 😊 If the dates you need aren’t available please feel free to message me as there might be something I can do. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I always focus on creating a calm and loving environment for every animal I care for 🥰 I follow each pet’s usual routine closely, including walks, feeding, medication and any specific needs, and I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind while you’re away 😊
About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since I was a small child alongside guinea -pigs, rabbits and chinchillas. Since living on my own (10yeard) I have had recue cats in my home and often looked after friends and family's animals by house sitting or walking them. For the last 2 years I have fostered dogs from the Charity Dogs Trust and have had basic training in grooming, giving medication and basic behavioural recognisition. I am most experienced with reactive dogs and those with anxiety. I currently work from home and only recently moved to Newcastle, so I am looking to have some companionship and floofy cuddles during the day. Plus living near whitley bay means loads of beach side walks and what better friend then a doggo to take with me. I have a fenced in garden and no other pets currently so your fur baby will have a safe, quiet environment. I do have a crate if needed but usually let the floors on the sofa or in a Doggy bed. I drive so can pop into your home to pick up a pet if needed for walks or check ins. My neighbours don't have dogs either so reactive dogs should be happy too.
About: Hello! My name is Shannon and I've been dog walking and pet sitting for over 9 years, in Abu Dhabi, Montreal, Toronto and now in Hythe. I also had my own dogs and various pets growing up and volunteered at an animal shelter and vets in my formative years, safe to say I've had lots of experience caring for our furry friends! I’ve had many pet owners rely on me for care services for some years now and looking forward to meeting new ones! I currently live in Hythe in a two bedroom with a garden and lots of lovely trail walks nearby for your dog to enjoy. There is also the seafront a short distance and I love to take the dogs swimming in the warmer months. You can see lots of pictures of Lake Ontario I used to take the dogs to in Canada! I enjoy being active and going on adventurous walks so your dog will get all the exercise they need If they're an active breed. I'm also happy to cosy up on the couch and watch Netflix if they're a lazy pup, but I’ll offer them the best of both! I have the most experience with dogs but I have sat many cats, some hamsters, a bunny and a hedgehog! I take care of every animal as if they were my own and I am extremely proactive in my approach to caring for your pets. I will go above and beyond to assure their specific needs are met with regards to their health, activity levels, personalities and little quirks. I've had Dachsunds with separation anxiety, Great Danes with leash reactivity, senior dogs with health problems and all sorts! As long as you are transparent and communicate your pets needs, I am confident in my ability to meet them, so you can rest assured they are in good hands! Healthy, safe and most of all happy! I love to take photos so you will receive lots of great pictures of your pet, I send snaps and updates multiple times a day and I pride myself on my communication with pet owners. I provide boarding, day care, house sitting, drop in visits/walks and would love to take care of your dog, cat or any pet! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and hope to hear from you soon!
“Debbie is amazing! I knew from the moment I met her that she would be great for our cat. First time we’ve left her and she’s eaten all her food and been around looking chilled. I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you & Rover for making our time away relaxing & worry free. 🩷”
About: My experience started with 3 years of dog walking, where I also provided pet sitting and cat drop‑ins for clients. When I moved into self‑employed cleaning, people trusted me around their pets because of my calm, reliable nature. Dogs have always been part of my life- our family Dachshund Poppy lived to 17, and my current Dachshund Pebbles has been with us since she was a tiny pup 8 years ago. I’m comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always aim to make pets feel safe and understood. Pet care is a natural part of my routine, and I plan my days around giving each pet calm, focused attention. I keep my schedule steady so they always receive reliable care, gentle company, and consistency throughout the day. I create a peaceful, safe environment by following each pet’s routine closely and respecting their boundaries. I move at their pace, offer calm reassurance, and keep their home feeling secure and familiar. My focus is always on comfort, safety, and clear communication.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shepway 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 325 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Shepway. About 91% of Shepway 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.
