“Megan was lovely to liaise with and was happy to stop by and visit Fiadh while we were out for the day. Fiadh was happy and snoozy when we got home, and from the pictures sent by Megan it looks like she had a fab time!”

“Emma is a super-friendly, very flexible and all-round purrfect cat-sitting companion for your feline overlord/lady. Even though we contacted her with less than a week til our desired date, it was no problem - she responded quickly and confirmed within a matter of minutes. She popped around beforehand to meet us and our cat, took careful notes on all the little points and idiosyncrasies we had to pass on and when we were away, sent us regular updates and films of our cat having a fantastic time (no doubt she was sorry to see Emma leave!) We will absolutely be getting in touch again when next we need someone to cover. Thanks Emma!”
“Rosie is a great sitter and a safe pair of hands. She helped me looking after Rudi in a difficult time and with very short notice. I'm grateful for her help and would recommend her to anybody needing high quality and attentive pet care. Thank you so much Rosie.”
About: I’ve always loved and taken care of cats since a little girl, lots of experience with them. I have experience with dogs too, more so in recent years. I have had cats all of my life, and a dog of my own for the last 6 years. New to pet sitting outside of friends and family. I work part time from home with a very flexible schedule so visiting your babies will be easy! I will work around my drop-in visits. Both cats and dogs deserve lots of attention, cuddles and enrichment as well as their basic needs like food, water, clean litter tray etc. I will do everything I can to provide your pet with everything it needs! A drop in visit will last 30 minutes, unless upgraded to the 60 minute option. My preference is one visit per day, but I can do up to 3 visits for an additional price.

I'm happy to make your pet as comfortable as they need in their home as well as meeting all of their needs. I am happy to crate them at night or just leave them to roam.

“I’m always nervous leaving our cat when we go away but with Carol looking after him and keeping us updated I didn’t worry once. She genuinely cares and enjoyed spending time with Georgie - I didn’t feel like he was being left alone for a week.”

About: I have always loved animals. My grandparents used to have a farm so I have experience with lots of animals. I used to keep many pets as a child. We have a four year old dog-friendly Pomeranian girl called Stella so I can ONLY help look after small or medium-sized dog breeds either female or neutered male who are friendlly with toy breeds. I work part-time in a nursery 3 days a week and have weekends, Mondays and Fridays off so I could give the dog my full attention then. My husband works from home so he can take care of the dogs when I am at work. We own a 4 bedroom detached house with a good size garden near a large park. I have two teenaged children and they love animals and long walks. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Marketa My husband works from home on the days that I work, so my dog and your dog would never be left alone for more than few hours at a time when my husband needs to go shopping for example. We have a fenced, good sized garden and 4 bedroom detached spacious home and a teenage children who adore animals and help with dog walking.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - South Gloucestershire
Meg was a pleasure and looked after my kitties really well. I could tell she really cares for cats, which was the most important thing for me, and I felt really confident leaving them in her capable hands. She communicated really well, and quickly got back to me, sent pics and updates. I liked that she was down to earth and was very patient with me throughout. As a first time user of the site, and I'd had a really busy and stressful time before going away, this meant so much to me. They were as happy as Larry when I got back, which was brilliant- thanks Meg. Highly recommended.

Even though we contacted her with less than a week til our desired date, it was no problem - she responded quickly and confirmed within a matter of minutes.

Kirsty was absolutely fabulous. She took care of our cats over a long weekend and was kind, thoughtful, respectful and an excellent communicator. She spent time with our cats at the drop in times, giving them kindness and attention, which was appreciated. We had good, descriptive updates to assurance us whilst we were away. Highly recommend, and will be rebooking for next trip if we can.
This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our cat with another person other than family. We were a little unsure of how it would go but Amy was brilliant, we couldn’t be more happy. Amy was friendly, reliable and communicated throughout, sending regular updates and photos which gave us complete peace of mind. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable person visitor/sitter.
Chantelle was a great help with our little fur baby when we were away for a few days. Knowing our Selina had some social time, cuddles, play, being fed and being checked on was really reassuring. Chantelle was easy to communicate with, friendly and warm we would absolutely book again next time we’re away. The whole process was super straightforward.

There are 1,145 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in South Gloucestershire. About 92% of South Gloucestershire 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.
