“Friendly and responsive to messages, we just needed a quick visit to break up the time our dog was left alone. We will definitely book with Kerenza again, reasonable pricing for the service 😌”
“Yifan was great, appreciated the updates on the dogs and the photos. They clearly really liked her. Very helpful with how flexible she was meaning we could push back our booking till the evening since were going out later. Great communication and felt very comfortable having her pop in to keep our dogs company for an hour and help them stay cool.”
“Hannah did the best job that she could've with our very timid cat. She was happy to do a meetup in advance of the booking which was very useful. Hannah arrived on time for the bookings and was happy to follow the instructions we left and gave updates on Evie. Would book again if we go away!”
“Devon was absolutely brilliant with Kuda. He was reliable, calm, and clearly confident with dogs, which put me at ease straight away. Kuda was well cared for, happy, and relaxed during the visits, and communication throughout was great. I really appreciated the updates and the care shown — it’s clear Devon genuinely loves what he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and I currently have two cats of my own. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I offer drop-in visits, house sitting and day care in your own home. I’m happy caring for cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets and friendly dogs, and I can follow your pet’s routine, including giving oral medication if you show me how. I know every pet is different, so whether yours wants lots of fuss or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. Because I work from home, I’m able to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine. I can offer morning, afternoon or evening visits, as well as house sitting and day care in your home. Weekend availability is usually not a problem either, so I’m happy to help whenever I can. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I’ll always respect their routine and your home. Before every booking, I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, favourite activities and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’ll keep you updated throughout my visits, so you’ll never have to wonder how they’re doing.
About: Since I was young, my family have been breeding bull dogs and I helped out a lot. Growing up we have had many dogs that I have loved to take on long walks. Currently we don’t have any at the moment which has left me wanting to go out and be with dogs again! I love long walks, hiking and being outdoors. I am currently waiting to enroll on a pets first aid course! Pet care is the perfect way to fill my week with something I truly enjoy, while making sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve. Whether I’m walking dogs or house sitting for any type of pet. My priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m trustworthy, reliable, and respectful of your home as everything will be exactly as you left it. I make sure pets are never put in unsafe situations, follow their routines closely, and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away. You can relax knowing your home and your pets are in good hands.
“Emma and her family did a drop in visit for my puppy and it was brilliant! I received a lovely postcard with pictures and a note on how he was! When I came home, the puppy was settled and seemed to have a great time! We also had a meet and greet on a short basis which made me feel better before the visit :)”
“We had a great experience with our Aliyah! She followed all our instructions carefully and looked after our cats wonderfully. It was such a relief to know they were in safe hands while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything was just as we left it. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Rhiannon has looked after my 2 cats in numerous occasions now, and I always come back to 2 happy chaps, unstressed by my absence. Can't think of a better sign of a good job :-)”
About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from pets boarding in a different room I am currently off work until the middle of July, so I will be at home most of the day. This means I can provide regular walks, plenty of playtime, toilet breaks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date with messages and pictures
About: I set myself apart by offering not only reliable pet care, but also tailored attention based on each pet’s unique needs. With hands-on experience in both puppy training and senior care, I’m able to provide: Puppy support: basic training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Senior care: gentle walks, medication reminders, and comfort for aging pets. Personalized activity: matching your pet’s energy level with playtime, exercise, or calm companionship. Consistent communication: daily updates with photos/videos for your peace of mind. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate daily or weekly pet care at times that suit your pet’s routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, as well as weekends. Whether it’s structured puppy training sessions, regular walks, or consistent feeding times, I’ll ensure your pet’s schedule stays balanced and stress-free. 🐾 Caring for Pets in My Home When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks (for dogs), and cuddles. I make sure feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise all follow their normal routine, so they feel comfortable and at ease. I also keep spaces clean and pet-friendly, with lots of love and attention. 🐾 Caring for Pets in an Owner’s Home In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s daily routine exactly as you set it. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning (for cats), walks (for dogs), and any special instructions such as medications or training reinforcement. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own environment while also keeping your home tidy and cared for during my visits.
“Alice and her Partner have been absolutely brilliant. They have looked after Winnie so well, even taken her out for longer and to the Pub for tea with them! They genuinely love your dog like you would want them to and they have handled her well when she can be a bit tricky around Cats! I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Shani took such excellent care of our doggos on her drop it. It was lovely to meet Shani before to see how she interacted with the dogs, and she just treated them like her own and they loved her instantly. I was kept updated and was sent photos of their time. Completely trusted Shani with my dogs, and with good reason.”
“I can throughly recommend Yeru for looking after your pet. She came and spent an hour of her own time, to meet Mopsy (he doesn’t like strangers) and see if they would get along. He loved her as soon as they met, so I knew he would be okay. I went through everything Yeru needed to know about his care, and felt confident she would be okay with him. She did everything I asked of her, was clean and tidy and respectful of my property. On many days, she also spent longer with him then the 30 minutes that Rover allowed, I can only guess they were having fun together, and lost track of time. From the video and pictures she sent me on a twice daily basis, I could see my dog was happy and well. She’s polite and punctual and a really nice person, and I really hope she will be available the next time I need a pet sitter.”
About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.
“First time using Donna and she’s been brilliant. She fed the cats messaging us before giving them extra food as one was extra greedy eating the others. She also changed the litter, would recommend!”
“Clara looked after and fed my three cats when I was away for 2 weeks! She sent daily photos to check in and made our holiday more enjoyable knowing they were getting fed and were in safe hands! Definitely recommend:)”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have always been deeply passionate about nurturing and caring for not only dogs and cats but also parrots, hamsters, rabbits and fish. Growing up in a household brimming with furry friends, including a Dalmatian, a German Shepherd mix, and a number of rescue dogs; we also had cats that I always had a special bond with even with the independent nature they have. I still remember the warm feeling when I would take a break during the day and lie down in bed and there would always be one of my cats quickly following me to take a nap on my stomach. My natural ability to connect with pets has only grown stronger over the years. My expertise extends beyond my family's pets, as I've had numerous opportunities to care for a variety of breeds belonging to friends and neighbors. I've been trusted to look after dogs such as Rottweilers, Huskies, Boxers, Newfoundlands, Bulldogs, and even an American Akita while their owners were out of town. In addition to hands-on experience with dogs at various life stages, I have also had the privilege of assisting in the birthing process for a litter of American Cocker Spaniel puppies – an unforgettable experience indeed. As someone who thoroughly enjoys providing love and care for animals while their owners are away or in need of additional support, I wholeheartedly look forward to the opportunity to get acquainted with your beloved pets. My experience as both a sitter and walker promises to deliver not only outstanding care but also the chance for your four-legged friends to form new bonds as well. I work from home with a very relaxed schedule most days so the pets will have my full attention while they are under my care. Trained pets are welcome in my home and in the garden. If in a pet owner's home, I will happily follow the house rules and any requests.
“Hiu Yee did drop in visits to my place to take care of my cats while I was away for 2 weeks. She was very flexible, open to communication and did a really great job ! I would definitely engage in her service again.”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Hannah was fab. This was the longest we’d left our cats with someone who wasn’t a family member and they took to Hannah very quickly. She was communicative and reliable and did a few additional requests during the booking which was very much appreciated. I would recommend Hannah!
Big thanks to Mia for taking my booking so last minute! She is very attentive and made sure the environment was kept clean and that my cats were well looked after. Very thorough and made sure to keep me updated with pictures and messages daily. Would definitely recommend, thanks again Mia!
Donna has been amazing with my cat Pluto. We booked her last minute and I was very worried about leaving my cat with a stranger. However, during our meet-up she told me a little about what she did and she seemed very trustworthy. My cat, who usually runs away from strangers, looked like he was comfortable with her from the start, playing in front of her and letting her pat him in the end. She was also very friendly and a great listener, who listened to all of our requests and offered beyond them without even asking. Coming back from our holiday, we found a very confident and happy Pluto all thanks to Donna. Throughout the whole time we were away, I didn’t feel an ounce of worry (which I’ve always done everytime I’ve left him even for a night) because she always sent photo updates and information about how he is and what’s he done.
Second time we have booked with Laura and I’m so happy with the service she provides 😁 my cat is sometimes on the shy side with other people so it’s lovely to receive photo updates throughout the visit of her playing. Excellent communication, punctual and friendly! Would defo recommend
Youngkyung has looked after our cat Ava three times now, once at her flat and twice as drop in visits at our house. Ava adores her and was totally relaxed at her place, and seems to love the fuss she gets during drop in visits. She’s well looked after and we get loads of photos and updates. Ava will absolutely be being looked after by Youngkyung again :)
We've used Kit for three holidays now and it's no exaggeration to say that I can't even imagine how any other cat-sitter could be better! For each and every visit she sends an update that is usually one full phone screen of text that tells us what the cats were doing when she arrived, what and how much food they ate and what they were doing when she left! This always comes with lots of photos and videos of her giving time and attention to the cats to make sure that they're happy. Part of our daily routine on holiday now is sitting on a balcony somewhere reading Kit's updates and just being able to relax completely knowing that our fur-babies are safe and happy and we can't thank her enough for that 😊
Yi-Fan was absolutely lovely and provided a professional service in taking care of my beloved cat with daily updates. I was super impressed with how my Charles was at ease with them when they interacted (normally, she doesn't like strangers). This reassured me immensely for future bookings. Thanks, Yi-Fan!
Our first time with Cat in a Flat and we hit the jackpot! From the moment we met Abi we knew our lads were in safe hands and so it proved. She quickly set up a great routine for Jet and Cooper and receiving cuddles from them showed how much they could trust her! The photos showed all this! We’d like to use Abi again and we’ll also let our cat keeping friends know about her! Receiving all this meant we also had a great time not having to think about how the lads were getting on. Abi, thanks ever so!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 837 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Sherwood. About 90% of Sherwood 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.
