Very happy with how Harriet looked after our two elderly ragdolls. We came home to very happy cats who had clearly been well looked after. Particularly impressed that they had been given a good brush so were nice and fluffy. Totally recommend 🙂

Jen was excellent. She communicated clearly prior to our booking, and visited us promptly for the meet and greet. Her updates from the drop-ins were reassuring and accompanied by good photos of the cats. We will definitely be booking Jen again.

Tom responded promptly to an urgent request. He attended to meet Shelby and I the next day to go over what was needed and for us all to enjoy the benefits of an introduction as we hadn't met before. Throughout the multi-day booking I was given regular updates. On return Shelby appeared fit, well and her usual self so I would not hesitate to recommend Tom or use him again.

About: I have loved animals my entire life, growing up with cats, rabbits, ducks and hamsters and owning a dog as an adult. I understand that your pets are very important, and my top priority is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Until recently we had a blind Labrador who was almost 13, who we had from 8 weeks old. So have had experience of dogs and one with extra needs (she was only blind for the last 3 years). I have looked after family dogs and walked friends dogs too. I grew up with cats and have had some since they were kittens, so lots of cats when I was younger! I am a primary school teacher so I have lots of time during school holidays to look after your pet, and I am available most days. During term time I am able to visit early morning, before 7:30am and evenings after 6pm. Evenings are best if you should require me to walk your dog (during term time) and during school holidays I can do any times. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk around the neighborhood or your cat prefers quiet, patient companionship and laser-pointer games, I can tailor my care to each animal's unique personality. I am experienced with all life stages, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a gentler touch and strict medication schedules. I will follow your feeding, exercise, and house rules to keep your pet's routine completely consistent When visiting other people's houses I am very careful and ensure that it is left as I found it, ensure the animals are happy and can even send photos to you!

About: i’ve volunteered to help a doggy daycare care where i helped walk, feed, wash dogs. in the past i have used my home to dog sit for people who needed their puppies trained and who didn’t want to leave their puppies on their own so they would come to me and i would train and keep the puppies entertained for the day i am currently in education, but my schedule is relaxed so i can do tuesdays 9-11am and 2-4pm, thursdays 9-11am and 2-4pm, fridays 2-4pm and anytime on sundays my dog is well loved and well cared for, unfortunately we don’t have a garden but we take him on long walks every 3 hours to make sure his needs are met. he has an array of toys to keep happy and i love playing catch and tug of war to keep him entertained. he eats 2 a day, morning and night, with treats throughout the day when warranted. he is bathed and groomed regularly so it does not affect his health and has his monthly anti worm and flea tablet.

About: I've grown up with a variety of pets my whole life and have always been an immense animal lover! Because of this, I am often relied on by friends and family to look after their fur-babies whilst they are away and also have lots of experience house-sitting. I'm at my happiest when I'm around dogs and animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I own my own home so I'm therefore very responsible and respectful of whoever's home I'm staying in. I will be sure to follow your instructions regarding pet care and certain things around the house. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday so I would be available to look after your pup(s) from late afternoon on Friday until Sunday evening (or early Monday morning). On some occasions if need be, it may be possible for me to work remotely from your home (if WiFi permits and dependant on your facilities but I would need plenty of notice for this). Over the weekend I will be on hand every couple of hours to give your fur-babies my undivided attention, walkies and play time! I would also be available to pop in for checks and short walks during weekday evenings as well. I have a handsome miniature dachshund who keeps me company while I work from home during the week. I have a fenced and secure garden and have a car seat cover that covers the entire back seat meaning we can go further afield for walks as where we live has lots to offer on our doorstep for a variety of walks and terrain. We tend to go on two walks a day and perhaps a longer, more adventurous one on the weekends.

Beth is amazing. Very accommodating to changing schedules and keeps me informed with regular messages and updates. My collie/lurcher loves her and she makes sure he is well looked after when I am unable to. I highly recommend Beth.

About: I have taken care of many animals over the years… right from when I was 6 years old! Growing up in New Zealand, I owned many different types of pets from rabbits to horses. My family have always owned dogs and have had several different breeds, all with their own unique personalities so I know how to adapt the care I give to ensure your beloved family member gets the best care! I am a mum to two young children so I spend a lot of time at home so am able to make sure your furbaby is well cared for. If for whatever reason I need to pop out, my husband would be at home so your pet would never be left alone for long periods of time. I am here to offer a few services for your beloved pets. From boarding where your pet will stay in my family home to dog walking where I'll take your fur baby to a local park etc. I tend to do long walks around 4 miles or so, but can take different equally as fun routes if your pet isn't up for as long walks! I live in the beautiful town of Dawlish so there is a countryside park around 10 minutes away, a few grassy areas and most importantly, the beach! We currently live in a 2 bed ground-floor apartment with my 2 children and my husband. Although we don't have a garden, I take all our doggie guests out often during the day for short walk around the block so they have time to go toilet. These walks are separate to the 4 mile walks as previously mentioned! I can walk your dog as often as needed. Your pet will have free roam of the open plan kitchen and living room. They will be allowed on our comfy sofa to have a rest and cuddles! My kids are brilliant with pets, they are being taught how to handle animals safely and are learning when a dog has had enough playtime/ cuddles, and will never be left alone unsupervised with your pet. I am an extremely trustworthy and reliable person. You will be able to rest assured knowing that your pet is in the best care where they are being walked lots, played with and cuddled for the whole time your away. I will also send you updates and pictures while you are away so you can see for yourself how much fun your pet is having! And just so you can be absolutely certain I am one you can fully trust, I have a full enhanced DBS and can provide references if required.

About: Hi, I'm Vikki, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Caring for pets isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely love and have been passionate about for as long as I can remember. I share my home with my partner, my mum and my furbabies. I've always had a soft spot for rescue aniamls and some of my most rewarding experiences have come from being lucky to have given them a second chance of a loving secure and happy home. My experience isn't limited to dogs – I've also owned rescue cats and rabbits giving me a good understanding of the care and attention different animals require. I am an RSPCA volunteer and qualified dog groomer and am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate loving care, Whether it's dog walking, pet sitting, or providing companionship while you're away, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets will be treated as if they were my own. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry family member. I recently made the decision to step away from full-time work to focus on what I'm truly passionate about – caring for animals. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and provide them with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I'm available 7 days a week and can be flexible to suit your schedule and your pet's individual needs. Whether you need regular walks, daytime visits, overnight care, or help at short notice, I'll always do my best to accommodate you. As a car owner, I'm able to travel locally and can provide reliable transport when needed. Alongside pet sitting and dog grooming, I'm continuing to develop my knowledge and skills by studying animal welfare & training qualifications through online industry recognised certificated courses. Combined with my experience as an RSPCA volunteer and qualified dog groomer, this allows me to provide the highest standard of care for every pet I look after. I am committed to maintaining a safe environment at all times, following your pet’s routine closely and keeping you updated for complete peace of mind. I take the time to build trust with every pet, ensuring they receive plenty of attention,exercise, enrichment, and affection.

About: My story 🐾 I’ve always loved animals! I grew up with rabbits and in 2022 I spent time in Italy caring for 3 dogs, 4 cats, and a rescue bunny while helping on a house renovation. Later that year, my partner and I opened a Rover profile and cared for lots of wonderful pets. After some travelling, we’ve now settled in Devon with our 1-year-old dog, Alby 🐾. My partner works full time, and I’m reopening the pet business alongside my part-time work. Animal Care 🐾 I am available for day or night pet sitting, walking, and drop ins, and we are considering boarding in the future too. I can care for your pup, cat or small animal. I am happy to arrange a free meet and greet before walks and sits. I’m very active and enjoy walking and exploring so will enjoy taking your pup for walks or keeping your cats healthy and active. However, if you need me to be purely at the house then that is fine too. As an owner you can tell me how you would like your pet to be looked after, and I will look after them as such. So, if you have a super strict schedule for them that’s fine or if you’re really laid back, that’s fine too! I may bring my dog Alby on some walks too. Please let me know if you would prefer him not to attend. He is such a loving boy and has been attending daycare whilst we have been working full time – so he is used to a variety of other breeds and temperaments. He will be a great pal for your dog! I have administered medication for pets before and with clear instructions would have no quarrels with taking on that extra responsibility. Prior to a sit, please let me know your vet details, backup contact, feeding & walking schedule, or if they require any medication. I know how important it is to feel your pets are safe, happy and well cared for when you’re away. 🐾Whether it’s a fun walk, a cosy overnight stay, or keeping their usual routine. I have cared for dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments and will tailor each booking as such. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout. Availability 🐾 I will be working part-time hours at my regular job so if my Rover profile is showing some unavailability please feel free to message me if you need care during these hours and I will see what I can arrange.

Carly was a fantastic sitter for Winnie and Otis. She kindly agreed to meet us on our walk first so the dogs could see her before she came later that evening. She is a very friendly, bubbly lady and made us feel right at ease.

About: We are a dog walking and pet sitting business inspired by our two rescue dogs, Chase and Lacey — which is where the name Walkies with Chase and Lacey comes from 🐾 We specialise in 1-to-1 dog walks, perfect for nervous, reactive, or more sensitive dogs, while also offering small group walks for sociable pups. Through my experience owning rescue dogs, I understand that every dog is different. Some are confident and energetic, while others need patience, reassurance, and time to build trust — and I always work at each dog’s pace. I have hands-on experience with nervous and sensitive dogs. One of my own dogs, Chase, was extremely anxious around strangers when I first adopted him and avoided all contact. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I’ve helped him grow into a much more relaxed and social dog. Because of this, I’m very confident in reading body language and recognising when a dog may feel overwhelmed. I always prioritise making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and secure in my care. All services are tailored to suit your dog’s individual needs — whether that’s calm walks, playtime, or companionship while you’re away. Every dog is treated as if they were my own. I offer flexible availability throughout the week, with a focus on daytime walks and visits. Monday & Tuesday: Available mornings and early afternoons (before 3pm) Wednesday – Friday: Full availability for walks, visits, and pet sitting Saturday: Available during the day (before 5pm) Sunday: Available in the morning (before 11:30am) I’m also happy to offer pet sitting and overnight stays, depending on your dog or cat’s needs — feel free to message to discuss specific times. In a pet owner’s home, I aim to keep everything as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, as I know how important familiarity is — especially for nervous or sensitive pets. I make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and companionship, while also respecting their space if they prefer a calmer approach. For dog walks, I offer both 1-to-1 and small group walks, depending on what suits your dog best. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable, and I always walk at their pace. These walks can include some enrichment games, ball throwing or just a good sniff in the bushes. If your dog loves something I’ll be sure to include it in our walk. For cats and smaller pets, I provide calm, gentle care — including feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, and interaction based on their personality, whether that’s playtime or simply quiet company. I also keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and videos for peace of mind. If caring for pets in my own home (if applicable), I provide a safe, clean, and secure environment with plenty of attention, structure, and comfort, treating them as part of the family while they’re with me. I have a walled off garden and have two resident friendly dogs. There are multiple crates on site if your dog ever needs some me time. There are multiple areas to lounge including the sofa and dog beds. Due to warmer weather there is also a dog paddling pool in the garden

Tom is an excellent cat sitter, he was able to accommodate our last minute booking for drop-in visits and took the time to build up some trust with our cat who is quite nervous of new people. We received detailed updates and felt very comfortable that everything was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you!

Extremely happy with Harriet looking after Roly and Atti. She kept me updated with messages and photos and ensured they were kept comfortable in the heat. When I returned home from my time away they were calm, well fed and happy. The sure sign of a good sitter. Would happily call upon Harriet again to look after my boys (if my long note of their requirements has not put her off 🤔🤣)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Teignbridge on Rover is £13.42 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 246 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Teignbridge. About 90% of Teignbridge 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.
