“Victoria did an amazing job looking after my cat. Quinn is an anxious cat who tends to hide from people but she warmed up to Victoria while she was visiting. Even allowing her a pet or two. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jade and Pete looked after our two energetic dogs superbly well. They came to the house twice, walked them in the field and kept them company whilst we were away. Jade left us messages to say all was well. Everything went to plan and the dogs obviously had a very good time. We could not have been better reassured by the updates and photos! We would highly recommend Jade and Pete as excellent and very trustworthy dog sitters. We will definitely ask them to help us with the dogs in future. A very big thank you to them both.”
“Jasmine was wonderful at looking after my cat Chaps over the Christmas period, he's a shy boy and seems to have really warmed to her over the days she cared for him which is wonderful to see! Really grateful for her care ☺️💕”
“Great cat sitter who lovingly looks after my 2 girls. The web site is not so great, found it impossible to reply to Gabrielle’s question. Unable to leave a 5 Star rating that Gabrielle deserves. Using iPhone 17.”
“Bethany was a perfect dog sitter, understanding and acting on a complicated and changing set of requests. Sybil was very happy with her and was given all the attention and care she needed.”
About: Hi, my name is Taeya, I’m a recent graduate in ecology and wildlife conservation. I have always loved and cared for animals, whether they are pets or wild ones. Having family pets has meant I have developed a great attention for what our furry friends need for a happy and healthy life. I have lived in the countryside most of my life, and I love spending time outdoors, on walks and explorations. Previous jobs, such as dog/cat/house sitting, early years education, and caring for older adults, have enabled me to develop excellent communication skills and an ease in dealing with messes and cleaning. I can be adaptable to all family needs, being a fast learner, I can quickly pick up skills or practices. Working with animals is always a joy, understanding the wonderful and different characters of all pets. I can provide private work references on request. I only take one job at a time with sitting so that my attention is undivided. Especially for pets that have a limited time that they may be left alone. My approach is always pet centered, adjusting my schedule to the jobs I accept. For example, working from home if I have remote work to be done the same week. I am a recent graduate and my schedule is currently very flexible and ever-changing. I have a good size fenced garden in the countryside, with 2 small and friendly dogs that are good company. Walks in the area can span from 30 minutes to 4 hours and more. There is also a dog walking park near where I live so that’s a great place to go if dogs need some time off the lead but also in a safe environment.
“Tanya was so kind in rearranging some things so she could accommodate the last minute booking for which I am very thankful. Unfortunately at the very last minute my husband was going to be at home so Thomas would not need company although Tanya would have been most welcome! Thomas has met Tanya and is very comfortable with her I would have no hesitation in rebooking. Huge thanks Tanya x”
About: We are a semi retired British couple who love animals and have been full time pet/house sitters since May 2022. We are vegetarian, non smoking, and enjoy yoga, walking and travel. Together we have run a holiday letting business in SW Wales for over 15 years as well as courses for people suffering with Chronic Fatigue/M.E and stress related conditions. All of our therapy and holiday property lettings work has moved online now so we can work remotely from anywhere. This has allowed us the freedom to be full time house/pet sitters and we are loving it! We stay at pet owners homes and very rarely leave pets alone - particularly dogs. Your home will be kept tidy and spotlessly clean at all times. We are DBS checked and insured. Numerous reviews (all 5*) available on request.
About: I absolutely adore all animals, they all deserve love, patience and care. Cuddles and lots of love and understanding as all pets deserve the best care I am available as my children are grown up, I have the time to devote to your pets but I can only offer pet sitting at your home. As my dogs are very protective over their home. Would need to come to your home as above. I understand the importance of an enclosed garden and would love to have dogs at mine but sadly my dogs are too protective of their home.
About: I offer a safe, reliable pet care service. I have loved animals my whole life. I treat every pet like my own family member. I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind. I am here to give you complete peace of mind while you are away. My schedule is highly flexible during the week, which is exactly when many pet owners are busy or at work. I can easily accommodate late-day pet transport, emergency vet runs, grooming drop-offs, or evening home visits. Because my routine is consistent, you can rely on me for punctual, dependable care when you need it most. Safety is my absolute priority when transporting and caring for your pets. When using my pet service, your animal will be securely fastened using specialised pet seatbelts, harnesses, or secure travel crates to ensure a smooth and safe journey. If I am visiting your home, I strictly follow your specific routines, double-check that all gates and doors are locked, and maintain a calm, stress-free environment. I will also send you quick text and photo updates after every trip or visit so you always have total peace of mind.
“Elizabeth was wonderful with Bear. She was so easy to communicate with and kept me updated, which meant a lot. Knowing he was being cared for so well made the whole experience stress-free. I’d definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life always having them within the family ( I currently have two dogs). My mum used to do dog boarding at home so I have experience helping to care for up to 6 dogs at one time and I love it! I also understand the importance of all dogs requiring different needs and am able to cater for this ( experience of 7 years being since the age of 18). I am currently working full time Monday to Friday however as I work from home I have the flexibility of caring for your pet from the comfort of their home during the week and then I have flexibility for any time at weekends. I also can offer dog walks mornings and evenings if it is not dark and during the day on weekends. I will go above and beyond to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in my presence whether that be smothering them with attention or giving them their space and slowly building the trust ( even if that is through treat bribery🫣). I will always give them the attention they deserve and ensure they have either a fun or rested time- whichever they prefer!
“Emily was absolutely fantastic. She is such a friendly person and as soon as we met, I knew I didn't have to worry about my old, grumpy cat while Emily was looking after her. Emily gave loads of updates which was very reassuring. I would definitely try to book with her again.”
About: I have experience pet sitting both cats and dogs in Ukraine, Poland, and the UK. With clear instructions, I’ll know exactly what to do to make your pet’s time with me the best experience possible. I always try to follow your pet’s needs and personality — if they’re full of energy, we’ll go for long walks and play; if they prefer calm company, we’ll enjoy quiet cuddles and gentle care. I work part-time at a school, which leaves me with plenty of time during the day for dog walks and spending quality time with your pet. I enjoy being active and giving pets attention, care, and companionship while their owners are away. I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment for pets. In the owner's home, I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, receive plenty of attention, and have fresh water and a clean space. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Friends, family and neighbours have relied on me to look after their dogs when they are away or walk them when they are unable to. As a university student with a part-time zero-hour contract, my schedule offers a good level of flexibility. My availability can vary week to week, but I’ll always be clear and communicative about this and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m happy to discuss dates and work around your pet’s routine where possible! I believe pets are happiest when their routine is maintained, so I will always try to provide care that feels familiar to them. In a pet owner’s home, I’ll stick closely to their usual routine for feeding, walks, exercise, play and any other care needs. Whether your pet loves company and cuddles or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll adapt to what makes them feel safest and happiest.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Test Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 773 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Test Valley. About 88% of Test Valley 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.
