“I couldn't recommend Alex enough! She instantly gain my trust, when she came to meet my puppy before the first booking. She went on a walk with us, asked questions to ensure she had all the information that she needed in order to care for him properly. On the day she sent me lovely photos and left a very thorough update. She even stayed longer that the booking stated, so my puppy could have a longer walk. Super trustworthy person and loving sitter, we'll definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much Alex for looking after my little puppy!”
About: I have chosen to be a pet sitter as I am now retired & have lots of time on my hands and a lot of love to give. I have had cats and dogs all of my life right from when I was a child. I recently lost my cat at the grand age of 20 and am lost without a pet to care for. I would love to board a cat or dog on a short-term basis. I am a kind caring lady who has a lot of love and affection to give to anyone’s pet. I currently work as a home help 3 days a week. The longest I’m away from the house is about 2 1/2 hours at a time! So I’m around most of the time. I live in a lovely 100 year-old cottage that is very spacious - I’m happy for cats to have the run of the whole house ! I also have a lovely garden which is very secluded and quiet. I have plenty of time for affection & love!
About: I've always had cats and dogs from a young age. Our family have rescued a greyhound and husky over the years and know firsthand the amount of unconditional love that these animals can give you. I have experience with big dogs and little dogs and appreciate that all dogs have different temperaments. I want to get to know your dog as if it was my own and give it the love that it deserves! I can walk your pooch in the mornings and evenings and weekends. I've dogsat for people in the past and am able to do this but the current rescue we have is not good with other dogs so it would have to be at your house. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I'm always on hand to provide walks and pets! I'll schedule work around any additional needs your pet may have too. I also know the art of emailing with one hand and petting with the other! I know the importance of routine and respecting the boundaries of each pet as an individual. I'll get to know your pet in their own environment and make sure they feel safe and secure with their comforta.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life — dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even the occasional rescue. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and I’ve always been the first person friends and family trusted to look after their pets whenever they travelled or needed help. I also have a rescue dog of my own, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and consistency that some pets need to feel safe and comfortable. This experience helps me connect quickly with nervous, shy, or sensitive animals. I’m DBS‑checked and pet first aid certified, and I take pride in offering calm, reliable, and loving care. Whether it’s drop‑in visits, feeding, companionship, or longer overnight stays, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with kindness, routine, and genuine affection. I’m available throughout the week, so I can plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I don’t currently offer standalone dog walking, but I’m always happy to walk dogs as part of an overnight stay or longer pet‑sitting booking. Having a flexible schedule means I can give pets plenty of attention, keep to their routines, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I care for pets in their owner’s home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible such as feeding times, walks (if part of a pet‑sitting stay), playtime, and any little habits that help them feel relaxed. For drop‑in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get some company and playtime, and I always send updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. During overnight or longer pet‑sitting stays, I stay in the home to keep pets in their familiar environment. I keep the house tidy, maintain their routine, and give them plenty of attention and reassurance. I don’t offer boarding in my own home, and I don’t provide standalone dog walking but I’m always happy to walk dogs as part of a pet‑sitting booking.
About: Over the years, I’ve been extremely lucky to be trusted to care for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re at work, away for weekends, or on holiday. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, including Labradors, Shiba Inus, and mixed breeds, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. Some dogs are happiest relaxing quietly, others love long walks, some enjoy hours of belly rubs, and others just want to play and cuddle. I take the time to really listen to owners and learn about each dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, which helps me provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. This individual approach is what has led to trusted, ongoing dog-sitting relationships. I truly believe no two dogs are ever the same, and I care for each one as if they were my own. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, but I’m available for local walks or drop-ins during my lunch breaks. With notice, I’m also available from Friday evening through to Sunday evening, to help care for your pets. I’m reliable, organised, and happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet’s needs fit comfortably into my routine. I had my cat Gizzy for 8 years in our 3-bedroom home, where she was free to roam and enjoy our large, fully fenced garden. She loved spending hours basking in the sun on our decking during the spring and summer months. Inside, she had full access to furniture and especially loved relaxing on the sofa. When caring for friends’ or neighbours’ pets, I follow their instructions carefully and respect their home and routines. I’m often entrusted with a key and any special requirements their pets may have. I prioritise safety, comfort, and creating a loving environment so every pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while in my care.
About: I grew up with cats. My GSD Bruno recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I am not ready to get another dog yet. I have so much love to give to your pup or kitty. I have been pet sitting & dog walking for years. I love being around animals. I am retired US Army. I volunteer from time to time, but my days revolve around the animals I care for. I love being out in nature with a dog companion. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced yard and my home is pet friendly, no room or furniture is off limits. I will send videos & photos of your pet & keep you updated while you are away.
About: I have been a pet owner since the age of 10, starting off with a rabbit and guinea pig. I have been working with and studying animals for 13 years. I have a degree in Zoology and a PGCE. I am a dog trainer so have a huge amount of experience with dogs of different breeds/sizes/ages/temperament. I have lots of experience working with a wide variety of species and am qualified to handle and care for aquatic, exotic, small animals, farm animals, and companion animals. I have assisted dogs in giving birth, cared for and bottle fed both newborn puppies and kittens, nursed elderly dogs with health concerns, and much more. I have a lot of experience working with dogs that suffer with separation anxiety and behavioural issues. I can carry out any training you are doing with your animal consistently and see to any medical requirements they may have. I am looking to get back into work following a period of sickness. I am currently very flexible and able to care for a range of species. There are many ways in which we care for our pets. Small animals need their cages spot cleaned or full cleaned, food and water, enrichment and affection. Exotic animals have very specific requirements, temperature and humidity control, live feeding of invertebrates, and supplements. Cats and dogs need companionship, exercise, and enrichment. My experience and education have prepared me for carrying out all the above and much more. Keeping the environment clean and tidy to reduce bacteria build up and reduce the likelihood of accidents. Ensure the property is secure e.g. windows and doors locked, alarm set, no strangers entertained or allowed in to the property. Ensure the animal is being monitored and kept safe during its activities.
About: I come from an animal loving family so I’ve grown up and have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages; playful puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and routine so they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible enough that I can give dogs the exercise and attention they need, and I’m just as happy spending quiet time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I am available weekdays and weekends. I also have access to a car so am reliable and prepared, even for same day bookings. I follow any instructions provided carefully, from feeding schedules to medication needs. I treat every home with respect and i send regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Stevenage
Fantastic relationship with our pets continual communication plenty of photos lots of care we were delayed by hours txt him he came back and took Mitch our dog for walk cannot fault him James thank you soo much and we didn’t have to worry will definately use him again
From the moment we started messaging on Rover, Jessica's kindness and expertise were clear to see. She sent through multiple photos of our cats (which is a feat in itself considering how nervous they are of strangers, and shows just how caring she was towards them), and even made friends with the neighbour's cat! Would 1000% recommend her services, especially considering she helped us out so last minute for our trip
We had Abby helping us out checking on our cat while we were on holiday making sure he had everything he needed along the way. She was of great help and she was always available for anything for we asked. Thank you Abby, we would need of your assistance again :) x
We couldn't be happier with the care Alison gave our cat Milo while we were away. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease — regular updates, photos, and messages showing Milo was happy and well looked after. He was clearly in safe, loving hands, and we came home to a relaxed, contented cat. Highly recommended — we'll absolutely be booking Alison again!
Billie was an amazing cat sitter! He took such good care with my two skitty but curious cats and sent me a lot of update photos and told me what they were up to which was so appreciated! Would not hesitate to use him again and recommend to my friends. Makes me feel happy to book more holidays knowing Billie can hopefully take care of them if needed! 100% great, 6/5 stars if I could :) thank you Billie!
Jasmine is fantastic! My cat is really nervous around a new people, and the fact that she has experience with animal behavior was a major plus for me. She’s so kind and attentive so I knew I was leaving Annie in good hands. She gave lots of updates and pictures so I felt at ease. Definitely book Jasmine, she’s great and I’ll definitely be using her services again!
Helen was very attentive from start to finish with care and updates throughout, she went above and beyond. It is clear she loves animals and that animals love her back! Our little cat warmed to Helen instantly. She went as far as sharing some of her Christmas turkey with our cat, which he loved. Thank you, can’t recommend enough!

There are 8,077 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Stevenage. About 90% of Stevenage 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.

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.
