Tao has been incredibly reliable and caring. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos of Kushary while we were away, which gave us great peace of mind. Kushary clearly adores her, and we’re so happy we found her. We will definitely be reaching out to Tao again in the future! 😊

Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Was able to help last minute feeding my cat for a week when regular cat sitter was unavailable and am so happy I found Rebecca! She came round before I went away to sort keys and to meet my cat, which I really appreciated. My cat really took to her (which is never guaranteed!) and I knew he was well looked after. Got regular updates and pics. Fantastic!

Tiphanie was outstanding. She arrived at my house on time and completed all the requested tasks, plus more. Each day, I received informative and heartwarming updates, including photos and videos of Korben. He appeared happy and well-cared for. It was truly wonderful knowing he was safe with someone who genuinely cared. Tiphanie is reliable and trustworthy; I highly recommend her. She's fantastic.

We've been using Holly for over a month now, looking after our 3 months old puppy. She arrives on time and is really relaxed with her so calms her quickly and then is efficient in doing all the things like feeding and taking her for toilet breaks. Holly plays and trains her, and then leaves her happy and content so she's good being left until we get home. Highly recommend for ease of communication and knowledge Holly is great at her job that we don't have to worry.

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: With 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I specialise in personalised care for dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Dogs have been an integral part of my life since and meeting new dogs brings me great joy in bonding and looking after them. Spending quality time is very important to me. Any dog I look after becomes part of my daily life with walks, trips out and even walks to the pub for a Sunday lunch. 
I love nature and going for long walks. I make sure that every dog receives a balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest, while prioritising their safety and comfort. My approach is always reward-based and force-free, creating a stress-free, positive experience for you and your pet. Whatever your pet needs, I will endeavour to meet those needs and I understand every pet has their own personality, just like us humans! I have my own loving 2 year old spaniels, so if they come and spend time at my house they will have an instant buddy. I always like to meet your pet before taking on any bookings so we can both feel at ease that our time together will be a good fit. I’m available for dog sitting, walking, and overnights during the early mornings (before 7 a.m.) and evenings on weekdays (after 5 p.m.) and all day on weekends. I also offer overnight stays any night of the week, so your pet will have company and care even while you’re away. If you need someone for evenings or weekend care, I’m flexible and ready to help! I live in a house, with a fenced garden. In my house, there are lots of places for your dog to take lots of naps. I have a crate at home if that is your dog-safe place. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take great care to ensure a secure, comfortable environment, whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet and carefully follow any specific instructions you provide. I believe in building trust with you and your dog, so you can feel confident that they are in good hands. I’m committed to open communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you know your furry friend is safe and happy.

About: I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my patience in building trust so pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care.

I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules, medication if required, and behavioural guidance. My focus is always on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners have complete peace of mind.

About: I have reared puppies and looked after pets all my life. Animals are my passion and bring me much joy. I have vast experience looking after other people’s pets having worked in my friend’s dog sitting franchise for many years. I've also done countless dog/cat sits with another site and have glowing testimonials which I am happy to share. Now that I'm semi retired and can work from home I can spend even more time caring for your pets. I'm extremely fit and love nothing more than going for long dog walks in parks and the countryside. I'm happy to dog sit in your house or can have small dogs at my place. I live in a maisonette with a huge park 3 seconds from my front door. I've had 2 dogs while living here and pride myself on making sure they were always kept stimulated and had at least 2 walks per day. I'm a very responsible, dependable and trustworthy person who you can rely on to look after your pets and home. I am semi retired and work for myself via my laptop. My hours are totally flexible allowing me plenty of time for pet care. I am happy to look after pets in your own home while your away or have them in my own home. I am very much a home body so your pets won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I live opposite a very large park and am also close to some beautiful countryside. Walking is one of my hobbies so your dogs will get plenty of exercise to keep them stimulated. I am in the process of doing a dog behavioural course to better understand how our furry babies operate. I’m used to looking after all sorts of dogs and cats - both large and small.

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!

Eton Wick, SL4

About: As a child our family always had a dog and I always enjoyed walking them as well as asking neighbours if I could walk their. When I started my own family it was incomplete without a dog, so I got a labrador who lived until 17. After the death of my dog Bruce, I couldn't bring myself to buy another dog of my own so I started dog sitting for friends and family. Now in a full circle my girls both have dogs that I regularly look after and walk (poodle and dachshund) I enjoy the exercise and the company and very aware of our surroundings. I am not currently working semi retired and would fit my life in around the pet care. I am lucky enough to live in Eton wick and I'm close to miles of fields and the river all within 1 minute walk . To the left windsor and the left maidenhead all along the river . Ideal for man and dog . I have a shared garden but fenced in but open at the front so not ideal for the dog to to be off the lead unless I can trust the dog. I usually walk the dog across the fields and river opposite.

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.

Lauren did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Mr. Ken. She was not only reliable and punctual, but she also showed genuine affection and attention to his needs. Mr. Ken usually takes time to warm up to new people, but with Lauren, he was comfortable from the start. Her professionalism, coupled with her obvious love for animals, made me feel at ease leaving Mr. Ken in her care. I highly recommend Lauren for any pet-sitting needs—she truly went above and beyond!

About: I have taken care of and trained over 70 dogs in the past 3 years professionally as well as family and friends’ dogs for the last 5 years, teaching them how to listen, understand and act out basic skills such as waiting, sitting and going when being told to as this is essential to keep the animals and everyone around them safe. Also taught a couple stubborn puppies how to walk using their leash safely and how to combat any anxieties near other animals or people. Staying fit means that I'm able to handle dogs up to 45kg with no fear of escaping. I have also been taking care of a kitten over the past 2 years, giving me experience to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your kittens. I have a diverse availability throughout the week for the majority of the services and live with my parents so there will be someone at home at all times My house includes a fenced garden, a baby gate between the kitchen and the rest of the ground floor and a crate that is available for use if needed . Dogs are allowed to sleep in a different room /bed/ their dog bed/ crate if needed , in order to not disturb their routine.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Slough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Slough on Rover is £15.75 per Visit (as of July 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 7,605 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
  • 92% 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.
