“Rita was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for our 20-day trip! From the very beginning, she was warm, reliable, and clearly experienced with cats. She took excellent care of Freya—administering her medications as advised, keeping up with her routines, and most importantly, bonding with her beautifully. Freya took to her instantly. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Rita also kept the house spotless and even left us a lovely plant as a thoughtful surprise. Her presence made our travels truly worry-free. I would highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and genuinely kind cat sitter—and would absolutely have her back again!”
“Matthew has just done a two week housesit with three dogs in roasting conditions. He was absolutely brilliant. He clearly cared for them all exceedingly well. He adjusted their walk times to ensure they got out on walks very early and very late in the day to avoid the worst of the heatwave. He was grooming them and checking for signs of distress. He dealt with a matted fur area on the paw of a fluffy cavapoo and gave them a lot of love and sent me a load of photos. Matthews communication with me prior to the sit and during was first class. Particularly helpful as I had work going on in the house while he was away and he gave me feedback on how that was going. He has left the house tidy and even ensured that loads of windows were already open in the rooms I and my family including some under 5s were coming back to. I would highly recommend Matthew.”
“It was our first time booking Nikki, and also our first time having someone look after Fiadh in our flat. Add in that Fiadh had just had her spay and was still in recovery. Nikki was fabulous from point of meet and greet to her calm and reassuring presence on the night. Fiadh settled quickly with Nikki and as a result we were able to go out for the night feeling calm. We highly recommend Nikki and look forward to seeing her again.”
“First time I’ve used rover and Leiah was absolutely amazing kept me updated with how my dog was getting on plenty of picture updates too. Would 100% recommend using her, absolutely lovely lady. Amazing 10 out of 10”
“Ariadne and John were absolutely fantastic sitters! They took care of our needy cat and anxious pup over the long Easter weekend and it was perfect. Super reliable, good communication, a picture of each pet a day, and super flexible to accommodate our pets' specific needs. They even did us other favors like putting out our bin and watering our numerous plants. Our house was spotless when we got back, and our pets were well looked after. We will absolutely book them again!”
“Beverley was great. She house-sat for a day and stayed overnight, took good care of my dog and cats, treated the house as her own and kept it clean and tidy. We even had a coffee the next day in the garden and got to know one another a bit better. She’s absolutely lovely. Definitely recommend her to take care of furry family!”
About: I’ve owned several dogs and cats for more than 30 years. I’ve had moggies, Maine Coons, Beagles and Cyprus Rescues. I’m also a trained dog groomer. I have my own dog and enjoy walks. I can walk at any time of the day. I can also sit in your own home for half days or pop in when needed. I treat dogs and cats like family which mine are. I give lots of cuddles but always let them approach me as they are comfortable. I can walk them, pop them in the garden and of course feed them. I provide company and companionship.
“Christie looked after our cats Cassie and Willow for 4 nights and I knew from the start they'd be in great hands- Christie was very friendly and clearly a cat lover! She sent daily written updates along with photos and videos which we really appreciated while being away. Our flat was immaculate upon return, with Cassie and Willow very relaxed and content! Thank you very much Christie.”
“Magda has been absolutely brilliant with Philly! She’s quite a nervous dog and suffers from separation anxiety but she seemed so relaxed and happy with Magda and her lovely daughter. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve been comfortable around dogs since childhood, we had a pet for about 5 years. I also lived with a dog for a year recently. I’ve done dog sitting over night for 2 weeks at a time and really enjoyed it. I love walks, do feeding time consistently and have even learned some tricks from a dog whisperer. I work from home and am busy in the mornings but from early afternoons onwards Im free and usually take walks anyways. I’m looking to get out more so I’d love to dog walk I’m very comfortable around dogs and am happy to enfornce any behaviours you’ve been teaching your dogs. Whatever rules you have set I will ensure they are followed fully and the dogs are always safe and happy.
“Shannon was amazing. She was happy to do a meet and greet and spent the whole day with Persy. She was very comunicative and responsive to all our messages. She really put us at ease as we were nervous to leave her for the first time for a holiday! Thank you Shannon! Will definitely use again 😊”
About: Hi there fellow cat people! My name is Emily and I’m 28, my passions in life are animals (especially cats, art, music and books! I have 2 gorgeous black cats of my own, one is a 14 year old who I raised from the day they were born in our rabbit hutch and a 5 year old lock-down kitty. I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have also volunteered a couple times at SCAR (animal rescue) in the cattery, and a wildlife conservation centre in Bali. So I have extensive experience with pets in general, but cats are my true love. My experience also highlights my passion for animal rights and fighting against animal cruelty, so I hope you can trust your animals will be in the best care.
About: I live in central Tunbridge Wells, a few minutes walk away from a great park/field and the woods. I have a small dog myself, who I absolutely adore, and would love to help out anyone who needs their beloved pet looking after. I have had my dog for 12 years and have looked after many friends pets whilst they have gone on holiday; so I have plenty of experience in both Dog Walking and looking after small dogs in my home. Although I can’t have a large dog stay at mine (max 10 kilos) I am more than happy to provide home visits and play/walk bigger dogs and / or cats. Whilst looking after your pet I’ll happily send you updates and photos / videos. I work from home so will be around all the time whilst sitting. I absolutely love animals (probably more than humans!) So your pet is in safe and loving hands with me (please read my reviews). WALKS: our new furry friend can be walked up to three times a day (depending on requirements), so they are never bored and will enjoy going to different parks / walks / woods. If you advise, then I’ll keep your dog on the lead, your pooch will get lots of love and fun staying with us 🥰🐶🐱❤️ I currently work from home so you Dog will be continuously supervised. We can work with you to agree a schedule. Always happy to help. I live in a flat, but have a fenced/gated communal garden. Your dog will have the company of my dog who is very patient and experienced in having furry friends over. Your dog will never be left on their own.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Tonbridge is £35

Beverley was great. She house-sat for a day and stayed overnight, took good care of my dog and cats, treated the house as her own and kept it clean and tidy. We even had a coffee the next day in the garden and got to know one another a bit better. She’s absolutely lovely. Definitely recommend her to take care of furry family!
Isabella & Adam were perfect sitters. I came back to a very happy Freddie, who had clearly enjoyed having them look after him. The house was tidy and well cared for, and I was incredibly impressed with everything they did. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Freddie and my home were in such good hands while I was away. I can’t thank them enough and would happily recommend them to anyone. Thank you both for everything! 🐾😊
Rita stepped in at the last minute to house-sit and watch our cat, Loki, following a hospital visit he had. Since we weren’t in town, Rita had to administer medicine (pills) and watch to ensure Loki did not have a repeat incident. We were nervous to leave our cat and home in the hands of someone we had never met before, but Rita did a fantastic job! She provided us regular updates on Loki, responded to our questions quickly, and left our house in better shape than when we’d handed over the keys originally! I couldn’t recommend her enough, thanks Rita!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Tonbridge walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tonbridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
