“The best cat sitter! With Claire looking after my two cats, she managed to put my mind at ease and allow me to enjoy my trip knowing that they were looked after! I 100% recommend her and will be returning whenever I go away again :)”
About: Animals have always been part of my life, not just something I do on the side. I love walking and spending time outdoors, with easy access to a nearby park and lake, which means walks are never rushed or boring. Every pet gets real attention, fresh air, and care that feels like home. I work full time with flexible office days, have a one-hour lunch break for daytime visits, and am available for walks and care during the day and after work most evenings. I care for pets by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and preferences from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and quiet time. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, walks, and downtime. I also have a high, fully fenced back garden with a secure gate, giving pets a safe outdoor space for fresh air and play. Living near a park and lake allows me to tailor walks to each pet’s energy level. Above all, I care for pets patiently and thoughtfully, treating them like they’re part of my own family.
“Abbie was trustworthy reliable and very informative. My cats were happy to see her when she popped round. They were kept happy healthy and fussed. I would highly recommend her for your pet care! Will definitely be calling upon her again in the future! Thank you!”
About: I'm 34, live in Newhall and work in the Emergency Services. I'm trustworthy and reliable. I've had dogs and cats all my life (and smaller pets- gerbils, hamsters, fish and rabbits and guinea pigs). My parents and other family have dogs I look after regularly and I look afte the neighbours dog when they're away. Otherwise I've got a peaceful life with 2 cats. Unfortunately don't have the time to have a dog full time so I just borrow everyone else's 🤣 I work from home full Time but long days. Shift work is normally 4 on 4 off so the days I'm free will vary but I do get breaks so if you're not too far from me we can make it work. I'll be sensitive to your and your pets needs. Realistically I can't have any pets here as it'll upset my female cat because she takes some time to get used to other cats and I don't think she'd be keen on a dog staying.
About: From the moment I got my Dobermann, Mila, in December 2021, I was completely hooked on dogs. Their unique personalities, their boundless energy, and their unconditional love quickly turned me from a dog lover to dog obsessed! When Mila sadly and unexpectedly passed in 2024, I knew I needed to honour her by dedicating more of my life to dogs - especially those still waiting to feel the love she gave me. That’s when I began volunteering at Just for Dogs, a local rescue. For the past year, I’ve spent every Saturday and Sunday walking rescue dogs, giving them much needed human interaction, and helping them build confidence. Even more rewarding has been opening my home to foster some of these dogs - providing them with a safe, loving space where they can adjust to home life and prepare for their forever families. From nervous to confident, tiny to huge, cuddle bugs to playful adventurers, it’s been an honour to play a small role in their journey to happiness. With this experience, I feel confident in offering the very best care for your dog - tailored to their unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, sofa cuddles, playtime, or simply being a calm companion, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but my flexible hours and ability to work from home mean I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. This allows me to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, or companionship throughout the day, as well as plenty of attention before and after work hours. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In my home, I ensure dogs have a secure, comfortable space with access to water, toys, and a quiet area to rest. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, maintaining a familiar environment and minimising stress for the dog. My goal is always to create a loving, predictable, and safe experience tailored to each pet’s needs.
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, and I have always been passionate about their health, mental well-being, and nurturing to ensure they have the best quality of life. I work primarily from home, typical office hours, and have a flexible schedule to be able to work around the needs of dogs walking & feeding schedule. I have a fenced garden, and the park is nearby for long walks or quick toilet breaks. Flexible regarding the doog's feeding & walking schedule
“Ted absolutely loved Simon, he really put me at ease with our meet and greet and is so nice and down to earth and great with my ted would definitely recommend to anyone to take care of your pet thanks so much!”
“We’re grateful to Cathryn for helping out with our cats while we were away. Communication was clear, and everything seemed fine when we returned. However, we did notice the visit lasted around 20 minutes rather than the full 30 minutes we had agreed and paid for, which we would have appreciated being respected. Additionally, we weren’t sure if our full feeding instructions were followed, as we couldn’t find any dry food left out, which made us wonder if the cats only received their wet food. We always aim to give honest feedback to help sitters improve, and we hope this helps for future visits.”
“Bonnie loves when Imogen comes round to visit her and play with her while we are at work. Always keeping us updated with what they did and how Bonnie is❤️ Couldn’t recommend enough, your fur babies will be most definitely looked after in the hands of Imogen 🐶”

About: Hi, I’m Jorja 🐾 I have experience caring for my own dogs, cat and small animals, giving me a great understanding of different personalities, routines and needs.

“Ela was so efficient. I needed someone in such short notice as I'm very anxious about leaving little Fraya for long periods. But Ela was very responsive. She was great with communication, sent beautiful pictures and Fraya seemed so happy and comfortable. Ela sent a video of the locked door and made sure I knew everything was back as it was. I was very happy with all aspects of the service Ela provided and I'm sure little Fraya was too. Thanks Ela!”
About: I've had dogs and cats in my family from the age of 10. At the moment I have a gorgeous labrador retriever Kodie and a lovely ginger tom Buckie but have had several breeds including German Shepherd, Collie and Labradors as well as rescue dogs and cats. Puppies, kittens and older rescue animals too. I am not currently working so have all day and evening to support my pets. So therefore also flexible with other people's pets too. Feeding pets, as well as giving them medication when needed. And walk if needed, spend time with them and really get to know them. If there are special needs they have happy to support those too.
About: I have two dogs of my own and have been a dog walker for 3 years. I have a certification in pet first aid and am fully insured. I also have a van and offer group walks. I work between 4 and 6 during the week and have flexible university hours meaning I'll be able to work around the pet owner's schedule. I have a fenced yard as well as two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed but have plenty of room to play.
About: I’ve always had animals in my life—dogs, cats, and even exotics. In Spain, my family and I share our home with three dogs and four cats. I love being around them and truly understand their needs, routines, and little quirks. Right now, I care for many pets from friends and colleagues who trust me not only because I’m a vet, but because I genuinely adore animals. My home is a calm, safe space—no other pets or children—so your companion gets relaxed, one-on-one attention. Because I travel a lot and live on my own, I can’t have my own pets at the moment. That means I can give 100% of my time and attention to yours, treating them like family. By the way, I’m a qualified vet—so your furry (or scaly!) friends are in safe, caring hands. I work four days per week from 9 am to 6:00 pm, with weekends off. During working days, I am available for morning and evening care, and I can also use my break to check on or walk your dog if needed. On weekends, I have full availability and can stay with your pet, providing more consistent care, companionship, and attention. I don’t have pets of my own, so your pet will feel right at home with me and get all my attention and affection. They’re more than welcome on the sofa and bed, and I’m happy for them to sleep with me if that’s what they’re used to. I don’t have a garden, but there’s a park right in front of my home where I can take them for regular walks and fresh air. My home is very safe for cats, with no open windows and secure balconies. I always try to create a calm, cosy environment where pets can relax, feel safe, and be treated like part of the family.
“Cloe was absolutely superb. She was good with the dogs and visited first to introduce herself to them. I had only booked the 2 dogs as I thought the big one might be too much of a hand full, but she bonded with him straight away. I’ll definitely be using her services again and it’s reassuring to know I can leave all 3. Couldn’t be happier with Cloe and especially as it was at such short notice.”
About: Hi My Name is Jess, I’m 25. Had animals all my life. Currently got a dog myself. Dogs are my passion and I believe home from home is the best kind of care available 🐾 I am only just starting out offering help outside of friends and family so currently my availability is very open. Ask away if you can’t see the slot or time you need as I may be able to squeeze you in, I love to do anything I can to help. My house has safety gates throughout to section the house accordingly and to protect slipping out the front door. Safety is a key feature of trust ❤️
“Jordan took perfect care of our cats including giving loxicom to our kitten who was recovering from her spay. Reliable and an obvious animal lover. Thanks for removing the stress of worrying about our cats!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Derbyshire on Rover is £11.5 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,112 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in South Derbyshire. About 91% of South Derbyshire 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.
