We’re always happy to leave Chester with Cerys as she’s formed a bond with him. She plays with him and takes him for a walk and we’re sure he’s always happy to see her.

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 partner 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.

This was my first time using Rover. I was pretty apprehensive, but Heidi was great - very responsive throughout our time away, proactive about keeping our cats safe during the heatwave and reassuring us with lots of photos and messages. We arrived home to happy cats. Thank you!

Chloe was great with my cat. She sent photos and followed my instructions really well. I'm so happy she looked after him. My home was tidy and clean when I got back and Timmy seemed very cosy laying in bed waiting for us to come home. Thank you for looking after him whilst we were away 😊

Tilly provided great care while looking after my cat for few days, as a last-minute request. This was my 1st time booking Tilly but felt at ease leaving my cat, Poupette, in her hands. Her background as a veterinary nurse was especially reassuring, as Poupette had recently experienced some health issues. I would highly recommend Tilly for any pet care needs and I'm already in the process of rebooking her services.

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.

Hannah is a superstar and took amazing care of my two kittens. They are normally very shy towards people other than myself and partner, but by the end of the week they both let her stroke them and play with them! Feeling so lucky to have found Hannah.

About: Caring House Sitter with a Heart for Animals | Welwyn GC · Hatfield · St Albans, Hertford, Hatfield With three years of experience as a devoted pet caregiver, I genuinely understand the importance of providing loving and respectful care for your furry family members. My approach emphasises creating healthy boundaries while ensuring plenty of fun and companionship. I deeply respect not only your space but also the unique personalities of dogs and cats, treating them with the kindness they deserve. As a true animal lover, I'm committed to ensuring that every pet feels safe, happy, and cherished in my care. Mon–Fri: 7–9am · 12–2pm · 5–8pm (walks & drop-ins) Weekends: Flexible daytimes + overnight house sitting Cats: AM/PM routine is ideal (feed, litter, meds, quiet company) Dogs: Solo walks matched to age/energy; enrichment on rainy days I keep my calendar up to date and respond promptly; all bookings include photo updates. How I care for pets (and your home) Your pet’s routine is my script. I follow your instructions exactly, feeding, meds, walk times, play, and quiet time, so cats and dogs feel safe and settled while you’re away. I’m gentle, tidy, and keep communication clear with notes and photo updates every visit. In your home (house sitting & drop-ins) Security first: I double-check doors, gates, windows and keep leads by the door. No visitors, no parties—ever. I respect your privacy and only use agreed areas. Calm, consistent routine: I match your pet’s normal schedule and preferred style (shy cats get quiet company; playful pets get enrichment). Hygiene: Fresh water every visit, bowls washed, surfaces wiped. Litter scooped/reset each visit; waste disposed of properly. Medication: Comfortable with oral/topical meds when clearly explained; I log each dose in your Rover thread. Home care: Lights/blinds as instructed, plants/bins/mail handled, everything left clean and secure. Dog walks (solo only) Lead policy: I use a secure harness/collar you provide and a fixed lead. No off-lead unless you’ve given written OK and the area is safe and enclosed. Safe routes: I avoid hazards, busy roads at rush times, and stressful dog clusters; I adjust for heat, cold, or rain and bring water on longer walks. Accountability: You’ll receive Rover Cards with timing, route, and a short summary. Cat care specifics Doors and windows stay closed; I check common hide spots so indoor cats don’t slip out. I refresh water, litter, and feeding stations, then match their vibe—quiet company, play, or brushing if allowed. Multi-cat homes are fed separately as needed. Emergencies & consent I keep your vet and emergency contact details on hand. If anything seems off, I contact you immediately, follow your instructions, and, if urgent, seek vet care while keeping you updated. Trust & communication I reply quickly, keep my calendar accurate, and send clear updates (photos + what we did). My goal is simple: a safe, calm environment where your pet’s day feels normal—and you feel fully informed.

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.

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!

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Welwyn Hatfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Welwyn Hatfield on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 7,797 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Welwyn Hatfield. About 90% of Welwyn Hatfield 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:

  • 92% 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.
