“I highly recommend Donna; first of all she is absolutely lovely, and she took great care of our kitties. We got photos and updated for every visit which we really appreciated and have already asked her to cat sit for us again :) ”
“First time using Laura, who really helped us out last minute with cat sitting which was hugely appreciated. She came for our house key a couple of days before and listened to me waffle on about all our cats quirks and habits, and updated us whilst we were away with photos and pictures of the cats clearly living their best lives! I'd be more than happy to use her as a sitter again! Cheers Laura!”
“Katherine was fantastic, it was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous about trusting someone I didn’t know to look at my cats. However meeting Katerine I was soon put at ease. Katerine gave my cats fantastic care, feeding them, spending time with them and making sure everything was clean and tidy too. She kept me up to date using the app which was fantastic as I knew exactly when and what she had done every visit. Thank you Katerine, I will definitely book again 😁”
“Laura is a wonderful cat sitter who goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, engaged. Our dolly was a little poorly at the start of the booking, so we were worried about going away, but Laura's knowledge of cats and perfect communication quickly put us at ease. WIll be booking again in the future 😊”
“Natalie looked after my two cats while I was away and I came home to them happy and well. I have a 17 year old cat who requires medicine by mouth and Natalie was able to administer her medicine reliably. Natalie is very polite and punctual and I thank her very much for looking after Wolfie and Hetty. ”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾
“Emma provided many pictures and updates on each visit with descriptions on how both my pets were getting on! With it being my first time using a pet sitter these updates were super helpful and stopped me from worrying about them both! Emma is super friendly and was prompt at replying whenever I messaged on how to deal with any worries/small problems! An added bonus of using Emma is that her daughter comes along with her so it means both pets got some play time too! Would definitely use her services again and recommend to friends and family :)!”
“Vivian took care of our two cats for 9 days. Throughout this entire period, I received up-to-date information if anything looked disturbing, photos of cats and information about visits. Great communication. When we came back home, we found the cats fed, calm, and the house was clean. She's a fantastic pet sitter. I would highly recommend.”
“I would highly recommend Kerenza! She carried out drop in visits for my two cats over three days whilst I was on holiday. Both cats fed, biscuits topped up, cuddled and let in or out as per their wishes. She also administered medication to my eldest cat Daisy on a daily basis. I felt at ease with her being able to do this and could fully enjoy my time away knowing my girls were in good hands. Communication was excellent throughout. Both cats seemed happy and relaxed when I got home. I wouldn’t hesitate using Kerenza again. Thank you.”
“Gosia was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind and calm, the perfect company for our two cats. She made sure they were well-fed and happy, and she gave us plenty of updates, which made us feel really at ease. We would highly recommend her. Many thanks, Gosia!”
About: I provide dog walking, check-ins, and both dog and cat sitting. I had over 10 years of experience taking care of my own dogs, and experience dog and cat sitting others’ pets. I’m happy to care for young or old pets, as long as you let me know your pet’s needs. I’m currently a student with a lot of summer availability, so my schedule is flexible to take care of your pets throughout the week. :) I’m currently working part time and so I have plenty of free time over the summer to take care of your pets, as long as notice is given :) I am happy to adapt to your pet’s schedule, take them out as needed for them, and match whatever their energy level may be
“We asked if siobhan could cat sit for us for 3 days and she was great from the start. Good communication every day and photos of louie made us feel at ease and that he was being well looked after. I would highly recommend siobhan for any cat sitting needs and hope to be booking her again in a few months time ☺️ thank you so much again! ”
“Shani is everything you want in a cat sitter. She is caring and compassionate to my special needs cats. Communicative and a joy to work with. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you Shani for putting me at ease and taking wonderful care of the boys x”
“Zoe was friendly, flexible, communicative and responsive with us. She went above and beyond to look after the tortoise as well as our two cats. Selene and Cookie both obviously liked and trusted her too!”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Kerenza was very responsive to any questions I had (it was my first time using the Rover app so there were more than a few!). She continued the good communication while we were away, and I came home to a content cat. I felt confident leaving Monty in Kerenza's hands - he can take a day or two to warm up to new people and she wasn't pushy at all, but I could see from her picture updates that he got used to her visits and went from shy, to happily greeting her at the door.
Ophelia looked after our two cats while we were away, and we couldn't be happier. The cats were clearly well cared for and much happier staying at home with her than they have been at a cattery - they were relaxed, content, and were healthy & well looked after when we returned. Ophelia put real effort and kindness into meeting us and catering for their needs, and she went above and beyond during our extended time away. Communication was always easy and efficient. We'll definitely be booking her again whenever we need a sitter. Highly recommended!
I would recommend Mia to anyone, when Mia came to see myself and the 2 girls I was pleased to see my stray cat Suzie, who's the most shy, approach Mia after just a few minutes, I was shocked, Mia has a natural way with my girls, they are very comfy with Mia, Mia also gave Suzie her daily meds in her food and understood the relationship between the 2 girls, Mia is an excellent sitter.
Amazing!! Leah and Cameron are just our go tos for looking after our kitties. I never worry about our cats as I know they’re in safe hands whilst I’m away. This is our second booking with Leah and we will definitely be back again for another. Thank you both so much for looking after Yoshi and Pichu and for going above and beyond for them. We’re so grateful we found you on here!
This was the second time Olaya took care of my cat Mimi. Olaya is so very conscientious, friendly, and just amazing with cats. Mimi trusts and opens up to Olaya easily. Olaya is also very gentle with cats and I’m very grateful that she is very diligent about things like locking doors and handling the keys. She also sent me any photos during the sit which I appreciated. I highly recommend Olaya.
She did a great job looking after our two cats! She was very considerate and communicative, and you can tell she loves cats! She even made sure to ask about something we had forgotten to go over or include on the instructions. We will definitely be booking her again!
I cannot be more happy with the service Katherine provides. As a nervous cat owner, she made me feel reassured that they were being well loved and looked after. I received detailed updates and lots of photos of my cats, i will definitely want her to look after my cats in the future. Highly recommend

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Sherwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is £13 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £17 per Visit.
sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 908 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 occurred. 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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
