“Eva was great! She confirmed her availability promptly, came out to meet Barkley and Polar ahead of her time with them, and kept us well informed throughout. I would really recommend her.”
About: I live in Cambridge with partner. We have two beautiful felines who bring much joy to our life. Love floofs in all shapes, colors and sizes. Happy to administer meds and indulge in play. We have been caring for cats for about six years now. Drop a line!
“Eli was fantastic. Summer took to her very quickly (which is very rare). Summer was having a hard time with the original schedule we had set up so Eli quickly adapted the timings and even stayed the night because my pup was having a hard time alone overnight. I will be using her in the future as long as she is available.”
“Lynn was a lifesaver for my partner and I. We were looking for a qualified sitter, and on a bit of a time crunch, and she more than delivered. Our girls absolutely loved her, and she did an amazing job at making them comfortable. The daily updates and photos of them were so nice. We will most certainly be booking with Lynn again if she has future availability. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Sophie has been great looking after Laszlo for the day! Always staying in touch and meeting up before hand. Everything has been so smooth and easy to sort out! I hope we can book in again for sure. Highly recommend :)”
“Hooper was so happy to see Larissa again, and was certainly taken great care of. Larissa was super considerate that she stayed longer until my husband was home. Really really grateful for her kindness.”
“Philippa and David looked after Eddie my anxious, sometimes reactive Labrador for 8 days in July. They were fantastic with him. They seemed to understand his needs and the unpredictability of his reactivity which can be challenging for me, let alone someone new. They kept me up to date with photos which were appreciated. I came home to a very happy Eddie who had been well looked after. They left the house spotless. I would definitely recommend David & Philippa and will certainly be using them again.”
About: I’m a PhD student at the Uni, proudly owned by a 6-year-old cat. I’d love to offer cat-sitting help in a thoughtful, gentle, and endlessly patient way. I truly believe good communication between cat owners and sitters is essential—because our fluffy family members deserve nothing less than royal-level service. Let’s team up to keep your little furball happy!
“Zoe was absolutely fantastic taking care of our two dogs while we were on holiday. Gave us daily updates regarding the dogs and what they had been up to so that we didn’t worry. The house was in perfect condition when we returned. Could not recommend her enough. Thank you Zoe.”
“Our nearly 10 year old pup seemed to really love Zoe, our mind was at ease the entire time we were away. We felt really comfortable leaving our home and dog in Zoe’s hands and she kept us well updated while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again 😊 thanks again Zoe!”
“This was the second time Francesca looked after our puppy and she has built up a really nice rapport with Olive- lots of nice photos of them going for walks and Olive was so calm around her. Highly recommended!”
“Kleo provided exceptional care for our dog Jellybean. It was our first time leaving JB with a sitter since rescuing her just a few months ago so, naturally, I was a little nervous. But Kleo came to meet JB twice before we left for our trip, which really helped. She was super communicative the whole time (1 week), sending us photo and video updates and checking in with any questions about JB’s routine. Kleo also took great care of our house. We would 100% leave JB with Kleo again, and would highly recommend her for pet and house sitting!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and love animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses and chickens. As well as taking care of my own pets, I’ve done paid work including cat sitting, babysitting with dogs and general house sitting. I’m available on week days and weekends for the next two months. I’m happy staying overnight to look after pets, but cannot currently host pets at my house due to having my own dog who gets unsettled. I’m happy to cater to your pets needs, whether it’s staying in and keeping them company, or taking them for long walks. I’m happy around all pets of all sizes!
“Simply can’t recommend Emma enough! She was absolutely incredible with my nervous pup, who warmed up to her really quickly. We met for a few play dates prior to the house sitting, and it was clear Emma knew how to be around and support anxious dogs. I could tell my dog felt safe and relaxed with her ❤️ She also sent me regular photos of him while I was away and kept me updated on how the little chap was doing. She was incredibly respectful of our home, as well! So grateful we found her!”
“Gemma was fantastic with Maggie (my boisterous whip), as always. Maggie loves her and always sad to see her leave! She followed all instructions perfectly and left the house spotless. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in South Cambridgeshire is £36

Absolutely — since this is a repeat stay, I’d emphasize that Socks remembered her and was genuinely excited to see her again. That’s a lovely endorsement in itself. Another wonderful stay with Tahiana! She was so kind to accommodate Socks even though she had a busy schedule, and we really appreciated her making it work for us. The best part was seeing Socks recognise her immediately and how genuinely happy and excited he was to see her again — which says everything about how comfortable and well cared for he feels with her. Tahiana is warm, caring, reliable, and we always feel completely at ease leaving Socks in her care. We’re so glad to have found her and will definitely be reaching out again whenever we’re in Cambridge. We couldn’t recommend Tahiana more highly!
Jasmine was a great communicator, punctual and very warm and friendly. My dog liked her immediately and it took her all of two seconds to curl up and fall asleep next to her! Got some lovely pics throughout the day, per my request, which was a great reassurance that Juno was happy and being well locked after.
Francesca took excellent care of Pixie, including multiple walks, lots of attention and tons of cuddles. We had regular updates and fun pics sent our way throughout the day. So cute! Francesca was a very respectful and considerate house sitter, too, and we will definitely be booking with her in the future.
We really appreciated Sophia sitting for our two boys when we stayed in Cambridge. Without her, my wife and I wouldn't have been able to attend our son's graduation together. Sophia was very flexible, as when we initially booked we did not know the exact times, and needed to change slightly. She was very friendly and punctual, and we recommend her as a sitter.
Lucia, set with my dog and two cats and I loved that she shared updates frequently, was clear and open in her communication, asked if anything was not clear from my side. She took great care of my pets and my house that was left in great condition. Thanks a lot, Lucia

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Cambridgeshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred South Cambridgeshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in South Cambridgeshire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
