“Katie is great! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! Katie was incredibly kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She took the time to get to know our dog’s personality and routine, and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos while with him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands, especially as we have recently just moved. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
About: Growing up in a house full of rescue cats and dogs ignited my passion for animal welfare, which goes above and beyond in both my professional and personal life. I understand how daunting it can be leaving your furry one in someone else’s hands and I ensure the best quality care catering to any specific needs, and guaranteed photos of your pet so rest assured you know they’re having fun. I’m able to be flexible working with your house sitting and home boarding needs. At home, I live with a friendly dog called Momo and my mum, so your pet would have to be okay with other dogs, otherwise I’m happy to house sit! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions 🤗 Having previously worked at a veterinary practice, I understand how to meet your pet where they’re at - whether that’s with cuddles and playtime from the get-go or a calm gentle approach to soothe nerves. I'm experienced in walking dogs of all sizes, chihuahuas to great danes, and can promise walking routes and lengths dependant on your dog's requirements. To ensure your mind is at ease, I keep in full contact with photos of your loved ones throughout time away from them.
“Our Luna always looks forward to when Jack visits! We appreciate that he keeps us informed of his visits, and we're thankful for this most recent visit which was last notice due to a scheduling conflict at my work. We highly recommend Jack 🐾”
About: I have been dog, cat, and house sitting since childhood! I have volunteered at SPCA and have always found or adopted my pets. I grew up with a golden retriever and several cats. My schedule is very flexible right now, as I recently relocated to bury st Edmund's. Hoping to make the most of my time by helping out others and getting to spend time with their furry family. I have spent many years caring for pets of friends and family in their homes. I've always felt that it's easier to keep them in their home where they are familiar and comfortable and I am the one who is in their space. They are already missing their parents (owners) no need to add more stress.
“Layla was an absolute star, looking after our cat Halo while we were away. From the photos Layla sent us through the app, we could see how much fuss she made of Halo and how Halo warmed to her very quickly. Layla also coped admirably with having to medicate Halo twice a day, which was a big relief for us. We won't hesitate to ask Layla to help us out again with drop-in visits when we're away. She was utterly trustworthy, completely reliable and we are soooo glad we found her!”
“Rhian was extremely good and understanding with our dogs. Even at short notice she managed to make the time to visit us beforehand and get to know the dogs before her visit. Would highly recommend.”
“Marta was super nice and took great care of our boys! Both boys love her! Would give 10 stars if possible, highly recommend her and will book again in the future!”
“Hannah was fantastic with our two cats. She was caring and thoughtful, sending daily updates which showed the cats playing, purring and very happy. My cats could not have been in better hands. ”
“Alix worked us into her schedule at the last minute after our sitter canceled and I cannot recommend her services enough. She listened to all of our care instructions, took great care of our dog, and provided us with excellent communication throughout our trip. We came home to a very happy dog. Would definitely recommend Alix!”
“Jade coped well as our cat-sitter for the weekend! She had to medicate and feed Halo twice a day, which she did, and we came home to a very clean utility room - where Jade had kept both the feeding area and the litter tray spotless - and a very contented cat fast asleep and clearly very relaxed, despite our absence for the weekend 😁 Thank you, Jade!”
About: I’m a 33 year old female living in a flat in Bury St Edmunds. I have a marketing job with 9-5:30 flexible hours and I’m currently working from home and free on the weekends. In my spare time I love to go out on long walks & adventures and enjoy them so much better with a dog. I don’t have a dog myself but I have house sat and boarded a range of gorgeous different types of dog on this app and we had great walks together to different parks. I’d love to help people in the area with walks or boarding / looking after their dog whenever needed :). I’d be so excited to look after anyone’s animal/s in general and to help anyone out :). I’m very independent and live by myself but I am very close to my parents in south Cambridge where we all love to go on walks together too. Please message me if you would like to know anything more or require any further information :). I work from home so I am able to offer daycare during these times and I also offer boarding and house sitting. My partner Laurie also likes to help out and is usually around when I board dogs at my place. He enjoys joining us for walks and playing with the dogs. For house sitting Laurie will also join me so your pets get all the extra attention and love. We are always happy to come by for a meet up/ introduction beforehand so you get to meet us both. I have a shared garden for regular smaller walk/ toilet breaks but during your dogs stay I will also venture out for longer walks. I’ll make sure your dog gets all the exercise, love & attention they need! Please note that I do live in a flat/apartment where there are always neighbours coming/going at different times in the area. I am aware that sometimes seeing/hearing strangers can make a dog anxious/ bark a lot. Please consider this before booking :) many thanks. Pet care fits into my routine easily, as I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give dogs the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment by following each pet’s routine, keeping spaces secure, and always treating them with patience and kindness. Whether in my home or the owner’s, I maintain trust by respecting their rules, providing updates, and ensuring the pets feel comfortable and cared for.
“Louise did a great job caring for our kitten, doing everything that was needed and sending photos to reassure us, and leaving everything tidy for our return. Much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Cayman was amazing! She came by to pick up the keys and meet me and my pets. She sent me photos and messages to let me know everything was going well. Malbec and Hattie must have been happy as they couldn't even be bothered to get and greet me when I came home! I will definitely use Cayman again. xo”
About: My name is Hayley, I have had dogs since I was 15. I absolutely love all dogs, although bulldogs have a very special place in my heart! We have a 5 year old resident French bulldog who is extremely sociable and absolutely adores making new friends, we take lots of very enrichment filled walks along rivers, fields and woodlands. We hire enclosed fields with swimming facilities for warmer days. We have cooling mats and paddling pools in the garden along with lots of enrichment toys and activities, our evenings are usually spent snuggled together on the sofa after a fun filled day of exploring. I work from home on a very flexible schedule so your dogs will have someone with them 24/7. We have a resident French bulldog who adores all dogs. We take daily walks through the woods and along the river, with plenty of sniffing breaks. We also visit the enclosed field regularly for a well earned strech of the legs and run for the more athletic dogs, I tailor the dogs care fully to their needs, we do a minimum of 2 walks a day ( weather dependent for certain breeds ) plus we have lots of enrichment activities at home for them to enjoy. I have a fully fenced garden, stair gates in place for your dogs safety, plenty of treats and space on the sofa! We are happy to tailor to your dogs needs with beds, sofa or crate sleeping, I have over 20 years experience with all different breeds of dogs.
About: I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, sizes and breeds. I’ve previously owned both a Pomeranian and a Springer Spaniel, who were both rescue dogs, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs and little quirks! It would be nice since losing both my dogs to still care for animals in my spare time, because I’m not quite ready to get another one for myself for the time being! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I’ve also looked after a range of other breeds including Italian Greyhounds, Russian Toy Terriers, Pomeranians, Terriers and Poodle crosses. Whether your dog is calm and cuddly, full of energy, a little mischievous or needs some extra patience and reassurance, I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel comfortable and happy. ( I love any animal so will be available to come over to feed your cat or feed cucumber to a tortoise too) I can offer anything from drop-in visits and playtime to longer walks and pet sitting, depending on what works best for you. I’m also happy to follow your usual routines, including feeding, medication where appropriate, and plenty of fuss and attention. I work regular hours but have lots of free time outside of work, so I thought I’d put that time to good use doing something I genuinely enjoy while helping other dog owners out. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my priority, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know them! Currently work 9-5:30pm and have weekends free. Plus every third Wednesday off. I am happy to take care of pets after work/in the morning before work and all day and evening etc on weekends. Dogs will have access to the house and private high fenced garden and be supervised at all times - I usually just let them join me during my daily activities & then taking time out to play with them in the garden etc aswell as walks in the Forrest behind the house and all the Forrest’s surrounding/the park.

Katie is a fantastic cat sitter. She is very reliable, keeps in touch really well, and genuinely cares about looking after animals. It was lovely receiving photos of our cat and reassuring messages from Katie every day when we were on holiday. We'll definitely book again.
Gabrielle was great with the cats, taking the time to text after each visit and provide photos. She treated our property with respect and called when one of the cats had been unwell to discuss it. Would absolutely recommend Gabrielle to cone and look after your feline friends 😃.

From the photos Layla sent us through the app, we could see how much fuss she made of Halo and how Halo warmed to her very quickly. Layla also coped admirably with having to medicate Halo twice a day, which was a big relief for us. We won't hesitate to ask Layla to help us out again with drop-in visits when we're away.

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.
