We had a fantastic experience with Konstantine and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. She was incredibly easy to deal with from the very beginning and was especially accommodating when we needed to arrange everything at short notice. Konstantine kindly fitted in an initial visit despite our last-minute arrangements, and even came late at night to collect the keys, which we really appreciated. She was flexible, helpful and made the whole process completely stress-free. Most importantly, she looked after our cat brilliantly, making sure she was fed at the correct times. Knowing everything was being taken care of gave us real peace of mind while we were away. A well-deserved 5 stars — we would definitely use Konstantine again!

Rebecca came to look after our cat whilst on holiday, she done a fantastic job and followed all the instructions we left for her and kept me updated during the week. I would definitely recommend and use Rebecca in future to look after our cat. Lovely lady too.

About: Hey! I’m a huge dog lover and proud cat mum to Sofia. I’m based in Slough and happy to travel locally for house visits on evenings during the week and anytime on weekends. If your dog/cat needs some company, cuddles, feeding or a lil extra attention while you’re away, I’m more than happy to help. Pls drop me a message with any Q’s 🤍 I work full time on weekdays but I’m available from 5:30 - 10pm in the evenings for drop in’s and weekends I have more flexibility for drop in’s. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’d treat every pet the same way I do with my Sofia, with plenty of care and attention, as well as any other additional needs they might have. I’ll take the time to understand their individual routine and personality, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play their pets and give them the comfort and attention they need. I’m currently a full time student at Kingston School of Art. Whilst it’s full time, I still have 4 days off a week including weekends to take care of your pet and am free in the evenings nearly everyday. I have easy access to public transport so will be flexible on where house sitting for a pet is needed. I will give them the comfort and attention they need when house sitting.

About: I may not have done pet sitting and dog walking professionally before, but I’ve always been a true dog lover at heart. Dogs have been part of my life for years, and I understand how much they mean to their families. Back home I have a lovely and friendly 11y old Pitbull (Hércules) who has taught me so much about care, patience and unconditional love. I’m also a proud dad to my 5y old son, Henry, who is absolutely crazy about dogs and has grown up around them with kindness and respect. Your pet will be treated with the same love, attention and care as my own, whether it’s for a walk, a cuddle, or company while you’re away Pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work as a General Manager in hospitality, which means I’m organised, reliable and used to responsibility. My rota gives me structured time off during the week and some mornings/afternoons available, which I’m looking to dedicate to dog walking and pet sitting. I’m exploring pet care not just as a side hustle, but as something I genuinely enjoy and would love to potentially grow into long term. Working with animals feels natural to me, and I’m excited about the possibility of gradually building experience in this field. I see this as the start of something meaningful, while still bringing the professionalism, commitment and work ethic I’ve developed in management. In an owner’s home, I always follow instructions carefully…feeding routines, walk times, medication if needed, and any specific behaviours to be aware of. I make sure doors, gates and leads are secure at all times and provide regular updates for peace of mind. If caring for a pet in my home, the environment is calm, clean and safe. I only take on pets I can give proper attention to, ensuring they feel comfortable and supervised at all times. As a long-time dog owner myself, I understand how important routine, patience and affection are. Your pet will be treated with the same care and respect as my own.

About: Growing up, I have had experiences with dogs, cats, monkeys, snakes, you name it! I love all animals (but have a soft spot for dogs) and I promise you that your pet will have all my love, time, and care. I need your pet as much as they need me🥰 Back at home, we have a border collie who I love and miss. Anytime I see an animal in need, I am there. I will be too, for you and your pet. ❤️ On my days off or a squeeze in my schedule, I can take your pet on a walk around or simply provide company if that is preferred! I will bring water and bowl if needed, give them my love all throughout! At your own home, I can feed your pet, make sure their water is filled up, let them out, give them attention and play around with them either outside or inside, depending on your preference! I will make sure your keys are safe and secure (previously, I’ve been given a PIN to a key holder, and a spare key kept on me at all times, solely to be used for this purpose!). I have had experience with an anxious (NOT vicious!) dog, so I understand in keeping space yet not too much. When your pet is meeting me for the first time I will allow them to gain my trust slowly- as much as I love to cuddle them I will first read their body language and decide how to maneuver from then onwards, so please do not be offended, I want to make sure everyone is happy and safe. Of course I expect to be informed if your pet is not so friendly overall, so I know where I stand with them!

About: I have no children but I do have a kitten. I helped bring up my sister’s puppy-turned-dog during Covid, I regularly look after my sister’s dog for days and hours. I take her for walks, feed her, play with her and drop her off. I also sometimes look after my best friend’s cat when she is at work or on holiday. I am flexible with weekends, and week days I work hybrid so I am home most of the week - aside from Tuesday and Thursday, which are my office days. ☺️ I keep door closed and always use lead when outside. The area is usually gated outside, and I have space for a crate if needed. I have a few green areas next to me. I live basically in town, with non-main road access in too for particularly vulnerable puppies.

Tracey was a fantastic sitter for our cat. We were let down by a family member and Tracey was super flexible at accommodating the request at short notice and very reassuring that she’d make the request work. During the drop in visits she followed all instructions exactly and made sure to play with Lyra and give her lots of love (and treats!). She sent full updates and pictures so I knew Lyra was happy and well looked after. Definitely recommend 🙂

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Slough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Slough on Rover is £16.1 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 8,145 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Slough. About 90% of Slough 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. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
