“Sarah is really good and she took care of my little kitten very well. She sent me updates and photos with my kitten every day. I really appreciated the care she gave to my kitten especially being first time for us to leave him alone and being concerned and worried about him I really recommend Sarah, she is great! I will definitely book her again.”
“Ellie is so kind and caring. She kept me updated constantly on each visit to my cat and sent lots of pictures. My cat is very timid but warmed to her from the first visit which was surprising. I think she definitely has a way with animals! She even brought some Of her cats food supplements when mine ran out! Will be booking her again soon”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have gained years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and smaller animals. Over the years, I’ve also regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ pets, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship while they were away. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes( having had an American Akita myself), and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for in my company. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a routine, giving extra exercise, or simply providing plenty of affection and attention. I’m currently working full time but can be made available most evenings during the week. I am fully flexible at weekends and when I’m not spending time with my lovely dog i will happily dedicate my time to your fur babies. I have a fenced garden and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is very content and will be happy to be kept separate if required, he’s such a lovely boy.
“Both cats were happy and chilled when we got home. Eva was very professional and considerate, even when an upsetting event occured. I would certainly recommend Eva & use her again in the future.”
“Anna made us feel really comfortable. We were incredibly anxious about leaving our 9 week old puppy alone in the mornings but she met his before the day and gave us regular updates. We will definitely be contacting her again. She was super reassuring and even alerted us to a weed in our garden we didn't know was toxic. We've had a really easy week because of her and are super thankful.”
About: I've never had my own dog however I lived with my husband dog for a long time, loved and care for him ❤️ sadly he passed away 2 years ago. He was a Yorkshire Terrier very playful 😄 I'm working in a care sector and I am quite flexible, I can care for animal 4 days in 1 week and 3 in another week as my hours are unchanged every week. I can do whole day or just couple of house depending of the needs. I have a 2 bedroom flat, smoke free in the town center very close to the park. I love nature so your animals will be walked around the park as many times as needed and will rest in a clean environment around lovely hosts
“Claire was very helpful with Liam. She sent us pictures of Liam and what he was doing on every visit. This gave us peace of mind that he is keeping alright. Thank you so much. Will definitely rebook again.”
“We are pleased to provide this reference for Amy, who cared for our two cats, while we were away. Amy was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. She ensured our cats were well cared for, handling feeding, litter maintenance, and giving them plenty of attention. Amy kept us updated with regular messages and photos, giving us peace of mind. When we returned, both cats were happy and relaxed. We highly recommend Amy to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring cat sitter and would gladly use her services again.”
About: Hi, I’m Rita. My experience with animals began growing up on a farm, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. Since then, animals have always been a big part of my world. I’ve had both dogs and cats of my own, volunteered for several years with the Animal Welfare Trust in Watford, and cared for different dogs through BorrowMyDoggy. These experiences have helped me understand how unique every pet is. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting you both. I am flexible and able to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I am also happy to care for both cats and dogs and can adapt to different routines depending on each pet’s individual needs. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the day, and I am also open to discussing house sitting arrangements depending on each pet’s requirements and routine. I always aim to be reliable, responsive, and clear when arranging bookings. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet and entering your home. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing and routine are always my top priority. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any specific care requirements. I have been DBS checked, and I aim to provide a calm, reliable and respectful service at all times. During visits, I will provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. For safety, dogs are always walked on a lead unless the owner has specifically requested otherwise and provided clear recall instructions.
About: I’ve taken care of many of cats and dogs in my time. Having my uncles dog comes round for play dates and even long stays. My dog gets the best care :) I am currently working part time. Free everyday but Thursdays and Fridays, i can do anytime before 4 on a friday. The weekends i can do. I have a massive garden all fenced off and dog safe. I will listen to the owners needs and enquiries. Make sure everything is safe.
“Rachel was excellent from start to finish. Great communication with picture updates at each visit. My confident cat got lots of fuss and my shy cat was given the space she needs. They were both very happy on our return! Thank you! ”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, growing up with breeds like Chow Chow, Golden Retriever, Samoyed, and Alaskan Malamute, and I currently care for my own Czech Wolfdog. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of dogs’ unique needs and personalities. Additionally, I’ve worked closely with professional dog trainers, which has taught me how to read a dog’s behavior and proactively manage situations during walks to avoid potential triggers. Whether it’s providing companionship, ensuring safety, or catering to the specific needs of different breeds, I’m confident in offering top-notch care for your furry friends. I have extensive experience caring for medium and large-breed dogs, having raised several over the years, and I am currently living with a Czech Wolfdog and a maine coon. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, structure, and companionship throughout the day. We live in an excellent area with access to large parks and beautiful nature spots. I regularly take dogs out for long walks, hikes, and play sessions, whether by car or on foot. When we’re not exploring nearby parks, my spacious, fully fenced back garden offers a safe and enjoyable space for dogs to roam, relax, and play freely. Dog care is part of my everyday life — I truly enjoy spending time with them, helping them stay active, engaged, and happy. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or a pet owner’s home. I create a calm and comfortable environment for the pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy at all times. I’m highly attentive to their needs, from maintaining regular feeding and walking schedules to keeping their surroundings clean and safe. During walks, I’m vigilant about their interactions with other animals and the environment, avoiding potential triggers and ensuring their safety on busy streets or parks. I also communicate openly with pet owners, providing updates and following any specific care instructions they have. My goal is to build trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring everyone feels confident and at ease.
“I cannot recommend Adrien enough. She provided regular updates of my cat and I found her to be preofesional and responsible. She went above and beyond during the heatwave to ensure that Cleo was cool. 10/10!”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Watford
Ellie is a fantastic cat sitter. My Cat Neko was very happy with her too. She did a pre visit before I went away to get to know where everything was. She sent me loads of great videos and photos during the twice daily visits of how Neko was getting on while I was away. I would highly recommend Ellie and will definitely be using her services again.
Ayesha took amazing care of my cat Priscilla while I was abroad. She sent regular updates and photos and Priscilla looked so happy and relaxed which really put my mind at ease. I returned to a very happy cat and would definitely recommend Ayesha’s cat sitting services!
Katie has been absolutely amazing. We received multiple pictures and videos at every visit and our cat felt super comfortable with her. I was so glad she was there to offer him some company besides the regular feeding and litter tasks, as he’s very affectionate and needs lots of attention. We will 100% ask for Katie again for our next holiday!
Monica was incredibly helpful, reliable and very good at what she does. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us real peace of mind. She went above and beyond by bringing pet food when our cat went off his usual food. Ensuring our cat was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again.
We have used a few catteries in the past, but always felt that our cat, Martha, wasn't quite herself when we got her home. This is the first time we've used a cat sitting service and we are so happy with how it went. Anastasia sent us updates, photos and videos. Martha clearly loved the 1:1 attention, ate well and was clearly comfortable staying in her own home. We highly recommend Anastasia and hope she's available next time we're away!
Amazing... from the first meet, anas aura about our cats was amazing. She has an amazing heart and super caring. Kept us in the loop all the time in our babies and was so kind, especially as our gizmo has started dementia. We really thank you ana for your care towards our fur babies!
We booked Ellen for a week of daily drop-ins for our cat, Tilly, and we couldn't be happier. Everyday, Ellen changed Tilly's water, gave her a wet food pouch, cleared her litter tray and played with her. Ellen was always very responsive, punctual and kept us up to date with photos. We'd be more than happy to have her cat sit again when we're next away. She has our highest recommendation.
Denisa did an amazing job and we couldn’t asked for a better sitter for our cat Taki. We were away abroad and it was such a peace of mind knowing that Taki was so well looked after. From daily visits, updates, video, photos and messages , everything was excellent!! It’s clear that Taki was loved, happy and comfortable ! Thank you so much for looking after Taki as he was your own cat 😊 Will definitely book Denisa again and we recommend her to everyone who might need a cat sitter that is trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pet.
We are pleased to provide this reference for Amy, who cared for our two cats, while we were away. Amy was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. She ensured our cats were well cared for, handling feeding, litter maintenance, and giving them plenty of attention. Amy kept us updated with regular messages and photos, giving us peace of mind. When we returned, both cats were happy and relaxed. We highly recommend Amy to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring cat sitter and would gladly use her services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Watford on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 8,187 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Watford. About 90% of Watford 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. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
