About: My name is Eva, I'm 35 and I absolutely love dogs! I’ve got lots of experience over the years - walking and sitting dogs through Rover for over 6 years - please check out my reviews! And sadly, I recently lost my dog, a Norwich terrier that my family had from a puppy to her amazing 16.5 years so I understand just how much love and attention dogs need at every stage of life. Whether you’re looking for dog walking, drop-in visits, or sitting services, I’d be happy to help you. Dogs naturally gravitate towards me. I'm confident with dogs of all sizes and all ages. Very experienced with caring for senior dogs and cats, can administer medicine and always be gente with them. I also love taking care of puppies and young dogs! Every dog is unique and if it's necessary I always spend the extra time to earn the dog's trust and make it comfortable with a new person. I also sponsor a guide dog in training through Guide Dog's UK for the past 3 years. Security is important. I understand very well how to handle a dog while walking on the street and busy areas with traffic, people, other dogs and everything that can possibly distract the dog. I also know how owners of small breeds feel when seeing a huge dog coming up to them. I would be delighted to take your dog for a nice long walk, perhaps run a little bit in a park if it's full of energy or maybe a slow walk somewhere nice if it's a bit older or recovering..? Totally depends what your dog prefers :) If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks, Eva I am fairly available. I live in Trumpington so it's easy for me if you are from that area too but I have a bike so I can get around Cambridge easily. I am not allowed to keep dogs at my rental property for now. That's why I can only offer dogwalking or dogsitting at your property.

“So grateful we found Georgia - she looked after our people-shy Schnauzer for a drop-in-and-out-day and was so incredibly understanding and patient with her (and us!). From dropping in a for a first meeting and staying a while to wait for Winter to get comfortable with her, to learning the games and snack-strategies we use to get her comfortable, and even patiently and slowly persisting on the day until Winter was comfortable to play with her (unprecedented for her to play with a new person so soon!). I highly recommend Georgia for her understanding, calm and thoughtful approach, and lovely presence.”

About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and genuine love for animals. I work from home, so I can provide care throughout the day, including for pets that need extra attention or companionship. I'm also able to drive, making it easy for me to travel to your home. I've cared for pets with separation anxiety, high-energy dogs that need long walks, and pets that require more frequent care and supervision. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Working from home allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, regular playtime, companionship, or extra supervision, I can easily adapt to their routine. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety, so I'm happy to spend extra time with them to help them feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Every pet receives plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. While I'm unable to host pets in my own home because I have a cat, I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your pet in their usual routine. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love while you're away.

“What a fantastic experience I had with Vicky! She kept us updated daily (I didn’t even ask for that!) and sent us pictures with our cat - she even stayed with her on her lap for an hour-long cat-nap. She also alerted us to some ants she saw in the kitchen, which I’m very grateful for. Thank you Vicky!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a genuine animal lover who would love to help care for your pets when you’re busy, at work, or simply need an extra pair of hands. 🐾 I’ve always been surrounded by animals, especially dogs and cats, and have regularly looked after dogs belonging to family and friends. I can’t currently have pets of my own, so being able to spend time with and care for other people’s pets is something I really enjoy. I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits, including visits in your own home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means a nice walk, some playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’m mainly available at weekends, and I’ll always do my best to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet will get plenty of attention, patience and affection — and I’ll treat them as if they were my own. 🐶❤️ Hi!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was young and have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.” I work in my own house, so I'm always at home and when I have to go out, my boyfriend is at home and helps me take care of them. I live in a house with a fenced garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I can host small, calm animals in my home. For medium and large dogs, I'm happy to provide care in the owner's home. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, following their routine and needs.

About: Having grown up with more than 6 cats (Burmese, tabby, and gingers) and 2 dogs (lab and yorkshire terrier)- as well as being a part time nanny for families with dogs for over three years- I am very experienced and equipped to care for your dog/s and cat/s needs. No matter the breed/personality/size/age I can and have cared for dogs as small snappy and sassy as chihuahuas and big, intelligent and energetic as border collies!! I also am very happy to care for more than one dog/cat as well as more attentive dogs such as senior dogs and/or puppies. My fun, compassionate, and nature loving personality will ensure great treatment and care of your pets and I cant wait to care for more amazing cats and dogs!! I am currently a university student in Cambridge studying law so I have a lot of flexibility with my timetable to fit into your pets caring needs. My availability usually tends to be every evening and weekend- although during this summer I am free mostly every day! Safety and trust is so important when caring for pets- to ensure your dogs/cats are safe I always take measures such as opening doors slowly to avoid escapes or injuries, using backup leads on walks incase of breakage, avoiding other dogs during dog walks, keeping medication and human food out of reach for pets, ensuring pets don’t overheat in the sun, and so much more! Also meeting the dogs/cats for the first time is so important for setting up the trust relationship- so i always make sure i am calm- go down to the dogs level- and allow them to come to me!!

About: Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, each bringing unique experiences and joys. I’ve owned cats, whose independent yet affectionate nature taught me patience, and dogs, whose loyalty and energy made them delightful companions. My love for animals expanded to include bearded dragons, requiring careful attention to their reptilian needs, as well as fish, a gerbil, and birds, each adding their own charm. I’ve also raised chickens, enjoying their quirky personalities and the daily reward of fresh eggs. One of my most memorable moments was rescuing a robin, deepening my appreciation for wildlife and the bond between humans and animals. Pet care remains an important part of my life, even while balancing my current schedule at university. My cat, Coco, stays at my family home, where she’s well cared for, but I make it a priority to visit regularly. During these visits, I ensure her needs are met and spend quality time with her, strengthening our bond. These moments not only allow me to care for Coco but also provide a comforting break from university life, reminding me of the joy and grounding presence pets bring. When caring for pets in my own home or someone else’s, I prioritize their well-being and happiness, offering attentive and compassionate care tailored to their needs. I ensure they are fed on schedule with the appropriate diet, have clean living spaces, and receive plenty of interaction, whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply comforting companionship. I’m experienced with a range of animals, from cats and dogs to reptiles and birds, so I understand the unique care requirements of each species. Additionally, I’m attentive to their health, keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or condition that might need attention. Whether it’s my own pet or someone else’s, I approach every animal with the same level of love and dedication, creating a safe and happy environment for them.

About: I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who truly loves animals. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, including energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets who need extra attention and comfort. What makes me different is the love and attention I give to every pet. I understand that pets are family members, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I can help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic care, and maintaining the pet’s routine. I am also attentive to details, organized, and reliable, which helps pets feel calm and secure in my care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time to walks, visits, and overnight stays when needed. On a daily basis, I am available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on prior arrangements. I make sure to plan my day so I can fully focus on each pet without rushing, giving them the attention and care they need. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable at all times. I supervise them carefully, provide fresh water, food, walks, and attention, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and my parents have a collective 6 dogs that I have lots of experience tending to. I have experience working at a dog boarding business that typically has around 8-10 dogs at any given time. I helped with the dogs and the boarding business when I was living back in California and I still do whenever I go home. Because of this I have dealt with many types of dogs. I have taken care of puppies and administered medication for aging or sick dogs. The dog boarding business I have experience with has a gated property in the woods and do not kennel their dogs so I am used to having dogs around and in the house constantly and dealing with the needs of many dogs at the same time. I have done a lot of housesitting. This includes two families whose whose farms I used to housesit for for up to three weeks at a time. They both had cats, a large dog, chickens, a garden, and an orchard. One also had horses and the other had goats. Because of this I am very comfortable taking care of large properties and dealing with farm animals. I am also comfortable managing dogs around farm animals. I have also cat sat for 2 weeks for a family with two cats (one of whom was elderly and needed medication and lots of attention). I am a full time PhD student with the ability to work remotely so I can work from your home and watch your animal during the day I am a PhD student with the ability to work remotely and I have a fairly flexible schedule so I can come take care of your pet all day while I work. I am able to provide them with as much care as they need during the day while I work. I am organised and very good at following the instructions you set out for the care of your pet. I am not able to watch pets in my own home due to a no pets contract but I can come and upkeep your home for you while watching your pet I am an experienced house sitter and can make sure your house is given just as much care as your animal. I have experience watching large properties and a large number of animals and following strict instructions for the upkeep of both.

Theodora stepped in at very short notice because our regular cat sitter is ill at the moment. The service was really excellent and friendly, with regular photos and a happy cat (and fish). Theodora definitely has a way with cats, since Sky took to her immediately, which is highly unusual for him. Very highly recommended!

Sarah was fantastic, really tried to get our shy kitty to interact, even swapping round her visit order so she could be there at his meal time and tempt him to play afterwards. Even when he didn't want to emerge for more than a cursory sniff, she hid treats for him so he had something to puzzle out later on. He just about trusted her after a week and gave in to cuddles, so we would happily recommend.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – South Cambridgeshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Cambridgeshire on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of September 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 865 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in South Cambridgeshire. About 92% of South Cambridgeshire 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.
