“Amy looked after our cat Sylvie whilst we were on holiday. Amy is so friendly, caring and highly professional - we had daily video updates whilst we were away and Sylvie really loved Amy. I would 100% recommend using Amy’s cat sitting service and we will definitely be getting Amy back whenever we next go away! Thank you! 😊 x”

“Ellie has been absolutely fantastic looking after our cats. She is reliable, caring and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We always feel completely confident leaving them in her care, knowing they will be well looked after and given plenty of attention. We would happily recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable cat sitter.”
“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.”
“Rita looked after my 3 cats for 6 days and despite some initial hesitation they were all interacting and playing with her by day 4 which is a very positive outcome. I received plenty of photos, videos, and updates.”
About: I've been walking, feeding and caring for my own dog and cat for around 4 years, so I'm very comfortable with the day-to-day responsibilities of looking after pets. I also have experience helping my dad with dog walking through Rover, which has given me confidence handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pets are well cared for, exercised and given plenty of attention while you're away. I'm reliable, responsible and understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable. I currently study Plumbing Level 2 at college three days a week. Because of college and boxing training, I am generally unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Fridays I am in college from 10:40am–2:00pm, and on Saturday mornings I have boxing training from 8:00am–10:00am. Other than these commitments, I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care, dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I also compete in amateur boxing, so there may occasionally be some weekends when I am unavailable due to fights, but I will always keep my availability updated in advance. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I always follow their usual routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and settled. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, get the exercise and attention they need, and that any instructions from the owner are followed carefully. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn about their personality, habits, and any special requirements. I also keep the home tidy and secure and can provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so all care takes place in the pet's familiar environment.

About: I am a qualified Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviour Practitioner with extensive hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments. My experience ranges from family pets and pedigree breeds to rescue dogs with complex behavioural and medical needs. I have worked extensively with anxious, fearful, reactive, traumatised and neglected dogs, helping them build confidence, develop coping skills and successfully integrate into home environments. Through my work with rescue organisations, I have gained practical experience rehabilitating dogs recovering from abuse, abandonment and long term stress. I worked at Lanta Animal Welfare in Thailand, where I supported the rehabilitation and welfare of rescue dogs, including disabled and special needs dogs. My responsibilities included behaviour assessments, training, socialisation, enrichment, welfare monitoring, recovery support and assisting with hydrotherapy and physiotherapy programmes. I am confident handling dogs with mobility challenges, medical conditions and behavioural concerns, and I understand the importance of adapting care to each dog’s individual needs. I have personally adopted a disabled rescue dog, which has further deepened my understanding of canine rehabilitation and compassionate care. Whether your dog is energetic, nervous, reactive, elderly, disabled, a recent rescue, or simply in need of a safe and enriching environment, I provide patient, knowledgeable and welfare focused care tailored to their unique personality and requirements. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and can easily adjust my routine to suit each pet’s needs Before any pet arrives, the floor is properly cleaned to make sure there is nothing for your pet to consume. All the attention is for the furry friend to guarantee safety.
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
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.
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.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Watford
Ellen did a fantastic job looking after our senior cat, Coco! Coco is a very nervous and timid cat who usually hides from everyone, so we were amazed that Ellen was able to build trust with her so quickly. By the first day, Coco was already comfortable enough to let Ellen get close to her and even stroke her, which is something we never expected to happen in such a short space of time (or ever!) Ellen provided daily updates throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind that Coco was being well cared for. As a student vet, Ellen also gave us extra reassurance, as Coco had been a little unwell recently. Knowing that Ellen would be able to recognise any changes in her condition and take appropriate action if needed was invaluable. Ellen has a wonderfully calm and understanding approach, and it was clear she adapted to Coco's individual personality and needs. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and would be very happy to book her again in the future.
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!

There are 8,914 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:
- 90% 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.
