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.
“Thank you to Charmian for looking after our two cats for a week. She left the house looking spotless and we came home to two happy cats. I would definitely recommend her!”
“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've worked as a professional dog walker for 3 years and just returned from volunteering for a Srilankan dog hospital where I cared for injured street dogs. I am available for walks and dog sitting in and around the Folkestone area and can't wait to meet your four legged friends. I currently work partime but am available for walks most days between 9- 2pm. I can also have them stay at my place should you need overnight or longer stays I have a secure garden just off the Leas and drive so can easily do pick ups and drop offs that are convenient for you.
“I'm so pleased with the care that Amber took of Mog. I felt so reassured and would definitely book with her again. Mog was well looked after and fussed over with lots of nice photos and updates. The area that Mog uses in the kitchen was also nice and clean and tidy.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all kinds – from energetic Springer Spaniels and loyal German Shepherds to gentle Labradoodles and mixed breeds. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who need a bit of extra care and patience. I’ve also looked after friends’ pets, including a Romanian rescue dog who needed reassurance and structure, and several house cats who enjoy company, playtime, and a watchful eye to keep them safely indoors. I currently have two senior dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with administering medication, gentle grooming, claw trimming, bathing, and soothing massages for joint comfort. I always aim to provide calm, loving, and reliable care — treating every animal as if they were my own. I currently work part time at a café, and my days there can vary, so I like to keep my schedule flexible. This means I can often fit in dog walks or pet care around my shifts. I don’t drive, but I’m based in Hythe and happy to walk or use public transport to reach nearby areas like Folkestone — I’m used to planning ahead and giving myself plenty of time to get where I need to be. For house sitting, I’m open and flexible, though I do have two lovely dogs of my own, so I’d just need to plan around their care too. I’m always happy to discuss what works best for everyone to make sure all pets are well looked after. When looking after pets in someone else’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m tidy, sensible, and always mindful that I’m a guest in your home. I like to have clear instructions before a stay — things like feeding routines, where pets are allowed to go, and any household rules around windows, doors, or garden access. It helps me make sure everything stays safe and secure. I always double-check that gates and doors are properly closed, keep an eye on anything that could be a safety risk, and make sure pets are comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. My aim is for you to come home to a happy pet and a spotless home.
“Marie was great. She came and met Miso before the planned pop in. She clearly has a love for dogs. She followed Miso's lunchtime routine and sent updates during and when she had left. Miso was left tired and settled from an hour of playing and fuss. Would definitely recommend”
About: I’m Bella - Project Manager, Writer and dog lover. I’m reliable, trustworthy and affectionate. I’ve walked dogs my whole life, albeit professionally, or through Trusted House Sitters/Borrow my Doggy. I love their company, and seeing how happy they are after our walks. My schedule is flexible as I work hybrid and happy to arrange pick ups. I love to take dogs with me on a run or hike on the weekend. I have a DBS check, competent with any breed and have a nice garden to play in. I've uploaded some photos of dogs I spend the most time with and love dearly <3 For the most part, I choose my working hours between 9-5. I can walk dogs on my lunch breaks and after work, they may also be walked with other dogs. I have an enclosed garden that pets can run around in. I’m home most days so you can trust your furry friend will have the affection and attention they deserve!
About: I really enjoy the company of dogs and have spent the last eight years getting to know many dogs. I am also a very keen walker so would revel in having a dog to walk with. I live very near the countryside if longer, scenic walks are required. It is a place I love walking in and I'm sure most dogs do too. I can also go for shorter, less rural, walks if that is what the owner desires and the dog requires. I can offer pet sitting at the owner's home and walks most days of the week. Pet sitting at the owner's home can be during the day or overnight if required. I currently can't offer overnight pet sitting at my house. I feel confident around all kinds of dogs and feel that all dogs will be comfortable around me. I don't have a preference in dog size or breed and will take great joy in any happy doggy. I have plenty of free time between shifts at work and the contract I am on also offers flexibility for any duration of dog care. My house has a garden and the garden is fenced. I'm close to the countryside and also to several other green spaces, most of which include dog runs.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, fish and chickens so genuinely love all animals. I have a car, so I am able to visit on short notice or walk your pooch further afield. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs (my sister has Irish Wolfhounds) so am very capable whatever the size of animal. Can't offer my flat out (due to the cat) but am happy to house sit for up to a week (with notice). Please feel free to get in touch to discuss further or if you have any other questions about me. I'm a freelancer who works from home with a cat I wish I could walk. I tend to travel a lot for work, but am very free during the winter and long periods in the summer. I have a fenced garden that is medium sized, but the dog would have to be able to get on with my cat. She is friendly.
About: As a Veterinary Care Assistant, I’m constantly caring for animals in a variety of ways - including regularly walking the animals in our care. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and over the years have owned several animals of my own. I currently have 2 cheeky rabbits, a kitten and up until recently had a loveable labradoodle who I cared for 13 years. I have several years experience walking and dog-sitting. I can care for your furry friend in a variety of ways, please do not hesitate to ask! :) The days and hours I work include: Monday - 8:30am to 7pm Tuesday - 8:30am to 2pm Wednesday - 8:30am to 7pm Thursday - 8:30am to 2pm Friday - 2pm to 7pm And some Saturdays 8:30am to 12:30pm Please feel free to discuss what suits you best and we’ll try and find something mutually beneficial. I have fenced garden and I’m just a three minute walk away from the beach for your pet to enjoy, alongside a fantastic canal path.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shepway on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 296 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.
