“Cerys has looked after my 3 cats a few times, and done a wonderful job, including administering medication to one of them twice a day. Would definitely recommend”
“Amazing cat sitter, got on so well with my cat and sent me videos and pictures each day which gave me peace of mind that my cat was okay! Really lovely lady and clearly loves animals! Thank you so much for your help 🥰☺️🐈⬛”
“Louise and her partner were absolutely brilliant! It was the first time I had ever left Rodney in hands of someone I never met before. He was super happy and excited to meet them and they reassured multiple times that he was ok, went to the toilet, fed him dinner & sent pictures of him out on a walk and in the garden so I was left at ease and able to enjoy my evening out for my partners birthday. Thank you both xx”
“Haiqing was absolutely wonderful. She clearly loves cats and treated ours like we would. She was great at communication and flexible. We asked for photos and I got more from from her than I do from my husband 😅💗 Could not recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, my mum always had dogs, and she still has a lovely black Labrador who I spend time with regularly. We’ve also had parrots and snakes, so I’m comfortable around different types of pets and understand that each one has their own needs and personality. My children have grown up with animals too and are kind, gentle and respectful around them. Although we don’t have a pet of our own because we enjoy travelling and wouldn’t feel it was fair to leave one behind, it means I genuinely enjoy looking after other people’s pets and giving them the love, attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. My brother works from home, so pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy plenty of company, cuddles, playtime and toilet breaks throughout the day. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were part of our own family, keeping them safe, happy and sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I run my own cleaning business, which gives me flexibility throughout the week, and my partner works from home full-time. This means pets staying with us would have plenty of company and wouldn’t regularly be left alone for long periods. We can provide regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, feeding and lots of affection, while keeping to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and secure. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. We have a fully enclosed, spacious garden where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs, and we’re lucky to have the beautiful Alban Way walking trail just a five-minute walk from our front door, as well as open fields directly behind our garden for lovely walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. Our children have grown up around animals and are gentle, calm and respectful with them, always understanding when pets need their own space. We’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication and any special requirements, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved and well cared for while you’re away.
“Julia was wonderful with Ginger! She took the time to visit beforehand to get to know us and understand Ginger’s routine. She was also very flexible and available at short notice. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’ll definitely be using her services again soon.”
“Lovely lady who understood my cats. She sent me lovely photos/videos of each visit and gave my cats fuss and attention. She also questioned me on anything she was uncertain of, or on anything I had not made clear. Very much appreciated.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our family. I've owned and cared for cats for many years, had my own much-loved French Bulldog, regularly cared for a Labrador and have also fostered cats in our home. Both John and I work from home, so pets staying with us get plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We're very happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, bedtime routines and - most importantly - plenty of cuddles and attention. We have a secure fenced garden and no pets of our own currently. We do have two young children who have grown up around animals, so for boarding/daycare we only accept pets who are comfortable and safe around young children. We know how nerve-racking it can be leaving your pet with somebody new, so we're also very happy to send regular photos and updates while they're with us. We want them to feel like they're staying with family. ❤️ I work full time from home as does my husband so we are always around to help with any animal needs. We have two young children that love animals. I have a fenced garden and lots of treats and toys. Our home is the pets home so they will feel as if they are having a holiday of their own.
About: Have owned dogs all my life, most recently an american bulldog who was deaf. Have experience with small and large breeds. Friends and family trust me to care for their dogs for walks and also day care when on holiday. Currently work 4 days a week, which can be flexible and change to suit the needs to be able to care for pets and keep them in a routine. Will care for pets in your own home, keeping dogs in their own environment and routine. Will also walk dogs close to home so they are used to the area.

About: We are a family of 4 who love dogs. Our children are 15 years old and we own a 5 year old goldendoodle. She loves it when doggy friends come to stay. I work from home so your dog will never be left for long periods of time. We are happy to look after any sized dog but it must be cat friendly as we own a cat as well. We have a fenced large back garden so your dog will have plenty of room to play. We also live 5 minutes from a rugby field which is a safe area for off lead play should you be happy with this. My husband and I work from home so your dog won’t be alone for long periods of time. Our children also love dogs so would be happy to play. We have a large garden which is fully secure. We walk our dog twice a day and yours can come along too. We also have one cat
About: I love all animals, but most of my experience is with cats. That being said, I’ve cared for many dogs in the past, as well as other small animals such as hamsters. I do my best to match the energy I get from the animals. If they are shy and quiet, I won’t push them to the point of discomfort. Equally if they are playful and cuddly, they will get as much cuddles and playtime as they need! I am currently on maternity leave with my 3 month old baby, and we go on walks multiple times a day, so would be great to take a pet with us! If not a walk, I have plenty of time each day to feed pets/provide company! My approach is to match the energy the pet gives me; I won’t push a pet out of their comfort zone, and will respect their wishes as much as possible.
About: I want to be the reason you can go on holiday and not worry. Once your dog is in my hands theyd be spoilt as if they are my own. Every dog I’m with will go on adventures- as long as they are happy too, I do love a good lie in aswell. I can provide basic training for your dogs if you tell me what you are looking for. I’ve taken part in training a wide spread of dogs. It is great fun to see when it comes together. I’ve been around dogs working in a kennel with various breeds for 3 years. My knowlege has only grown from there. Learning different breed specific enrichment, learning how to handle nervous or reactive, dog aggressive or even people aggressive dogs. I’ve had alot of hands on experience with many dogs over course of 5-6 years in total. Being the dog walker for many dogs local to me, I took part in training and dog sitting my friends 3 large malamute crosses. I still do dog walking for people in the local area. I’ve provided alot of medical care and grooming for range of dogs. I can do basic grooms including nail clipping, wash brush & dry and dental cleans providing your dog is cooperative. I am fully flexible to work every day and any time. I am happy to do early or late walks whenever is suited, I love long walks with dogs. I’m happy doing 3 hours! I work part time, I’m quite flexible and my job is local to WGC. I do not provide dog sitting at my house however I have a fully fenced yard, two cats who have been around dogs and fully accustomed, they tend to stay away from dogs but have two doggy friends a westie x a Bichon x and a cockapoo pup.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Welwyn Hatfield
We were extremely pleased with the care provided for our cat, Leia. Throughout the booking, we received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. All of Leia's routines and care instructions were followed carefully, and it was clear that a lot of attention and patience went into looking after her. What impressed us most was that Leia, who is usually very wary of strangers, gradually became comfortable and even friendly with our sitter. This was a real testament to their calm and caring approach. We returned home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and would not hesitate to recommend their services to others. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Leia!
We were very happy with the care provided by Cara. Our cat was well looked after. We had daily updates, including photos and some comments. We were not expecting for any handling of the dirty bowls, however Cara went the extra "mile" by leaving everything nicely clean. This was not required at all but was seen as a very nice gesture of her, we really appreciated! We would definitly be happy and reassured to have Cara looking after our cat again!
Joanne was lovely. She looked after our little cat really well, so well that I think he prefers Joanne to me! Joanne kept things very neat and tidy at home, which was great. She also provided daily updates and pictures of our very happy cat! Many thanks, Joanne. Nick & Vanessa.
Louise has been absolutely amazing looking after our cat Minnie whilst we have been away. She has been reliable, patient with our cat who can be very anxious, friendly and has provided regular updates. She even waited around several times when Minnie was out in case she came back so could have some company. Thanks so much Louise!
Amanda did an amazing job of taking care of my 2 cats for a few days while I was on holiday. I had never used a pet sitting service before and reached out to her last minute and she was wonderful the whole way through. Quick to respond, extremely professional, friendly, and able to accommodate everything. She made it a really pleasurable experience. My cats were very well taken care of and happy when we returned and she did a great job of not only feeding them but giving them playtime. We will absolutely be booking with Amanda again! Was finally able to relax on my holiday!
Julia was wonderful with Ginger! She took the time to visit beforehand to get to know us and understand Ginger’s routine. She was also very flexible and available at short notice. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’ll definitely be using her services again soon.

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.

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.
