About: I have always loved animals and especially cats. When I was a child we adopted a stray cat who decided to come and live in our garden, I spent many months getting her to gain her trust before officially adopting her. Our lovely cat gave me such joy which I now am keen to share with your pets. I am currently working part time with dog walks and cat sitting. I am flexible around around your schedule and what works best for you. I have a fenced garden and secure home, living near the local park for easy access for green space. I am also within driving distance of bushy park for even more green space.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and love them so much. Whenever any of my friends or family go on holiday, I’m always the first person they call to pet sit. Through word of mouth my dog sitting hobby has grown! I also volunteered with RSPCA for multiple years I do work full time however whenever I know I am going to be pet sitting, I switch to working from home. I am pretty flexible. I will not have any other animals in my house when looking after someone’s pet. It will always be a one at a time situation. I live in a secure house with an unfenced garden but plenty of walking opportunities! there are little to no rules for pets. They can join me for a snuggle on the sofa :)
About: I have over 3 years of dedicated experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. My neighbours and family trust me because I am punctual, communicative, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to provide daily photo updates so you can travel with peace of mind. I am a student currently in class from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of these hours, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care! I am available for late afternoon walks, evening check ins, and have full availability on weekends for boarding or sitting. Because I am home all evening and night, your pet will receive plenty of focused attention, playtime, and supervised socialization with my own dogs. Safety is my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can play safely. I have a friendly dog of my own who love making new friends, but I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. For pets that prefer their own space, I can easily use crates or separate rooms as needed. When sitting at an owner's home, I follow all house rules strictly, ensure all doors/gates are locked, and provide regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy
“Sarah looked after my cat over a long weekend and did a great job! It was so reassuring coming home to a well looked after pet. She is very reliable and gives great updates. I would highly recommend!”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, from childhood to the present day. This has given me extensive hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and understanding canine behaviour. I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of providing safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog's individual needs. I offer flexible availability throughout the week and will always do my best to accommodate your pet's routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I aim to provide reliable care and clear communication at all times. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I understand that every pet is unique, with their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to ensure they receive care tailored to them. Whether providing walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I understand the trust involved in caring for your pet and, where applicable, having access to your home. You can expect reliability, respect, and clear communication at all times.
“Lucy was incredible with Raja who is quite a shy and nervous cat. On both occasions Raja made an appearance (if only brief) even letting her have a stroke which I think is testament to Lucy’s lovely, calm energy. Great communication and updates too. Thank you Lucy!”
“Emma has been a fantastic cat sitter all round for us; picking up what was a very last minute booking, being quick to respond, really flexible with timings and instantly got along with the cats during a preliminary visit. She was punctual and thorough with each visit and detailed when it came to filling in the rover card. We loved seeing all the pictures of our cats she provided and could plainly see they enjoyed her visits! A very reliable person who we’ll absolutely be booking again :)”
About: Growing up, i’ve always been surrounded with dogs and cats. They were always around me at home. Ive grown up with many breeds and as a results, i now know how they behave and how to handle them accordingly. Some of them were labradors, german shepherds, rottweilers and pitbulls. The services i offer is dog walking, i offer long or short and brisk walks, do let me know what it is that you need for your little angel. As well as walks, i can play fetch with them, give them little treats along the way for behaving well and belly rubs (which dog doesn’t like a nice belly rub). I’ve also got experience in pet sitting dogs, i occasionally pet sit a friends dog. Aside from dog sitting and walking I can also cat sit your cat. I’ve got a cat of my own as well.

Aside from that I also go gym regularly and go for runs, so i’m fit with an active dog. Currently i don’t offer to keep pets in my home. Sorry about that. However, if needed, i can pet sit your dog at your home.
“Absolutely brilliant – yet again! I love the videos and photos she sends, and I really appreciate how affectionate she is with my cats. They’re so fond of her, and I’ve become a fan too. 😺😺”
“We booked Sandra for 5 days 2 visits per day for our cat.She was so caring coming through the xmas period and even brought our cat some treats.Will definitely be booking with Sandra again.Sent us photos twice a day of our cat.”
About: I have had pets the last 30 plus years. Until recently I had 2 massive ginger toms, TJ and Boo and a border collie called Dino. Sadly, my last furry friend passed away. I miss them. I plan on getting a dog at some stage but it’s early days so in the meantime my daughter suggested I register with Rover. I’ve always looked after dogs and cats for my friends and neighbours since I was a child. I love animals - my best thing is going for a walk in nature with a furry friend. I even took my cats for walks round our very large garden - well they would follow me! I’m semi-retired and work from home. We have had pets in the house for years - we are relaxed about beds and furniture and are happy for pets to sleep in the bedrooms either in their bed or on the bed! I have a very large garden and a small woods. I always go out into the garden with any pets I look after. I live on the river so may not be suitable for any dog that’s crazy about water - as soon as they see it they dive in! Dino, my border collie, would only go in if he could see the bottom! Obviously happy to have getting to know you visits beforehand. Before going on walks I do a recall assessment so I can gauge how responsive they are. I trained Dino with lots of positive reinforcement - am happy to use treats too if permitted by owner.

“Kirsty was great, she is flexible and reliable, arrived on time and stayed for a good half hour at each visit. She is easy to contact and responds promptly. We are very happy with how she looked after Tig, not just feeding but also playing and petting him. Thank you Kirsty. :) ”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Spelthorne
I couldn’t be happier with the care Emilie provided for my four cats. She was incredibly reliable, and knowing they were in such capable hands meant I was able to relax and truly enjoy my time away. She kept in touch throughout my trip, sending regular photos and videos after each visit, which was so reassuring. If she wasn’t sure about something or there were different options, she’d check with me first, which I really appreciated. It was obvious from the start that she has a great deal of experience with animals. Even my shyer cats, who don’t usually warm to new people quickly, were happily taking treats from her hand and playing with her almost straight away, which says everything about how comfortable they felt with her. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and professional pet sitter. She’ll definitely be my first choice whenever we need someone to look after our cats in the future.
Miya is such an amazing beautiful soul. I asked her to come as a drop in visit to check on my two cats while I was away and we met beforehand and I showed her around and introduced her to one of the cats as the other is very shy around new people, however, the update photo's and videos Miya sent were of both of the cats which reassured my trust in her even more. She played with them and made sure their litter was clean while I was away. Amazing experience to know they were in such safe hands. Definitely rebooking with Miya for all of my trips and holidays 🥰🥰
Emma has been a fantastic cat sitter all round for us; picking up what was a very last minute booking, being quick to respond, really flexible with timings and instantly got along with the cats during a preliminary visit. She was punctual and thorough with each visit and detailed when it came to filling in the rover card.

Koda has done a number of drop in visits with my dog and cat and has been great with them both. She took the time to get an understanding of them both and what they needed throughout the day and was so great with them both that they instantly warmed to her. She kept me updated with photos and videos during the visits and I had total peace of mind knowing she was looking after them. I would highly recommend and will continue to use Koda
She took great care of our cats for almost a week when I went on a trip abroad. She made sure to keep us posted about our pets during each visit, tended well to their needs, and kept our flat clean. She was also very flexible with a last-minute extension when my return flight was moved due to a storm. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.

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.

- 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.
