“Danielle is a fantastic cat sitter, who was able to put my (normally anxious) cat immediately at ease. She’s helpful, professional and super friendly. Having her look after Millie makes going away from home that little bit easier. Thank you, Danielle! ”

“Jess is really patient, professional and reliable. It is clear from the offset that she has your dogs best interests at heart and I know that I can trust her. Jess completed a meet and greet session and really took the time to get to know my dog before we started visits. I would recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”


“Katherine is so lovely and easy to talk to. She was wonderful with my dogs, spent time playing with them, and took great care of them. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Katherine and would happily have her look after my dogs again! ❤️🐶”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and currently have 3 dogs of my own whom have very different personalities and energy levels. I hold a level 1 degree in animal management and I’ve directly worked on a farm with many different breeds and temperaments (including working dogs and guard dogs). This gave me experience in clear handling, reading body language early and making sure every dog feels understood and safe. All pets in my care get treated like my own consistency, kindness and respect. I can follow routines whatever they may be, and I’m extremely reliable and communicative. I’m comfortable with every breed and personality! I keep updates consistent so you always know how your pet is and what they are doing so your never wondering what’s happening. Looking after other people’s pets fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I already have structured daily routines so adding walks, drop-ins or care for your pets is easy for me to integrate without rushing or cutting corners. I stay consistent, organised and present so your pet gets calm, relaxed care every single time. My dogs get walked twice a day and have plenty of active playtime in the garden in between. I also use enrichment + puzzle games daily to give them mental stimulation, problem solving and calm focus so it’s not just physical exercise it’s balanced brain work to. When they aren’t in play or training they nap and decompress.
About: My animal behaviour degree and rescue work allows me to work with all types of animals, providing a safe environment for them to thrive in I am currently working a flexible job from home, which means I can easily work around you and your pets needs as animals often thrive on routine. I have previous experience in pet sitting and understand that it can be a daunting time. As well as your pet care needs, I am there to ensure the safety of your home whilst you are away. Please feel free to get in touch about any additional needs such as: watering the plants, bringing in any mail and so forth
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities. I run a dog walking service and have supported friends, family and local clients with regular walks, feeding routines and pet pop-ins. I focus on calm, safety-first care, small groups and on-lead walks to ensure every dog feels secure, happy and well looked after. Pet care fits neatly into my weekday routine, with availability for morning dog walks and pet pop-in visits. I focus on providing calm, unrushed care, so I limit the number of dogs I take on and keep a consistent routine that works well for both pets and owners. Safety is always my top priority. All walks are on-lead, routes are planned carefully, and dogs are never rushed or over-grouped. I closely follow each pet’s routine, provide updates during visits, and treat every home with respect. I’m calm, reliable, and fully focused on ensuring pets feel safe and settled in my care.
“Suzi has been wonderful looking after our cat this weekend. She has updated us after each visit and sent photos and a video which I found very reassuring. Jonathon seemed very happy to see Suzi and I will definitely be booking her services again.”

“Jane was absolutely wonderful. We chatted before the visit and she came to meet the dogs before we went away. During the visit she sent pictures and videos and they looked so happy with her. We’re super happy we’ve found Jane to help us when we’re away. Thanks Jane, will definitely be using you again!”

“Indiana has been brilliant from start to finish, i couldnt recommend her enough. She is quick at responding and came round for a meet and greet within a few days, her experience and knowledge showed in conversation. She has provided really good updates on my cats whilst ive been away including pictures which i loved. She communicated if there was any problems with getting to my house on time which i appreciated. Ive been able to relax knowing my babies are in good hands. I will use her again in the future.”


About: I absolutely adore animals, growing up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I currently own 3 cats with my partner, and had my beautiful golden retriever Talar with me for 14 years until she very sadly passed. I like to spend my spare time horse riding, and have frequently cared for pets for friends whilst away on holiday. As a genuine animal lover with over 10 years of pet care experience, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable, settled, and well cared for while you are away. I understand that every pet is different, with their own personality, routines, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure their care is tailored to what helps them feel relaxed, happy, and secure. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are very important to me. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, so you can see how they are settling in and enjoy reassurance that they are happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention. I currently work full time as a customer service manager but I’m looking into transitioning my career into an animal care focused sector. I can offer full time care most weekends and evening care after 5PM. I will also have some full day weekday availability at periods. I like to offer meet and greets before committing to any care to ensure both you and your pet are as comfortable as possible with the services I offer. It’s so important to understand each pets needs as their personalities can be so individual. I’m comfortable with all size, breed and temperament of both cats and dogs, including walking, bathing, brushing, playing and feeding.
About: I have had cats for 13 years and have had a dog for 4 years. I do feeding, cat litter trays, fresh waters every day and have also administered insulin for my diabetic cat (who I sadly lost last year) and have also administered thyronorm through a syringe for my 13 year old cat who has hypothyroidism. My whole routine from the minute I get up is all focused on my animals, I have 3 cats & 1 dog. One of my cats was a stray abandoned cat but after much searching for his owners know one came froward so I got him neutered & gave him a home. I am not scared of getting stuck in with changing cat litter trays, picking up dogs or cats poops. I have worked in dog groomers, dog kennels & have also done a placement at dogs trust many years ago. I have all of the relevant certificates & diplomas from doing animal care at college but am looking into doing a first aid course for animals & also maybe doing some dog training also. Until I get my confidence up in walking others dogs I will only be accepting small to medium dogs but I'm hoping one day I can move up too big dogs & offering more services surrounding looking after peoples animals as I know how thinking of them when having work commitments and holidays can be tough. My diabetic cat actually came with me to many holidays as I knew she needed her diabetic medication without fail. I am looking forward to starting this journey and meeting new owners and their pets (just don't be surprised when we do meet ill automatically be talking straight to the animals first as always haha) thank you. So I am currently off work at the moment for 6 weeks as I work in a primary school. This works around my child. However on a typical working day I would wake up in the morning, feed all of the cats, change their waters & so their cat litter trays. I would then get myself ready & take my child to school. On returning home I would take my dog for her first walk of the day for around 20 minutes. I would then come home and get ready for work at 10am. After finishing work at 2pm I'd wait for my son to finish school, collect him at 3pm and make our way home. At home I would feed the cats as soon as I get in, clear away any cat poop that's been done why I've been at work, I would then take my dog out for her second walk of the day, usually about half an hour walk. After coming in from that it would be tea time for us & settling down for the night. Around 7pm my cats would get their 3rd meal of the day & this would fit in with my cats medication times so he would have his thyroid medication around 30 minutes after his morning feed and then 30 minutes after his night time feed (12 hours apart) and depending on how my dogs energy levels are she may have a 3rd walk but this isn't a daily thing. They all have their little treats throughout the day trying not to over feed them with treats. So having only experience from my neighbours & friends who have asked me too look after their cats in the past, I would gain access too the property asking that doors where the pets are, are secure where possible so my friends house, her front door going into the house I asked could the living room door be closed just so I can gain access safely and there is no risk of her cats running out onto the road why she was on holiday, I would do as I was asked I.E feeding, waters, I would give a little fuss so having a little stroke & head bump with them and try where possible to clean up after them so not only did I do the cat litters I also brushed around the cat litter to pick up any on the ground, also for my other neighbour I washed their food bowls each day before leaving. Their safely is always my key focus so if they are allowed outside I would always pop back occasionally to ensure they was able to get back into the property especially in rain weather and if they are strictly indoor cats like mine then again I would ask where possible to keep the animals in a place where they cannot run out when I try to gain access. Also when it is hot weather I would pay close attention to the guidelines on temperatures when walking dogs and would not expose any dogs or cats too extreme heat. This would be discussed on the meet and greet and would be agreed upon each individual how that would work. If its safer for the animals to just go outside to toilet then I would make sure not to leave when my time is up I would ensure the safety first and ensure every animal was nice & cool before leaving the property.

“Halle is currently looking after Romeo senior 16ywar old Chihuahua. Romeo has only ever been left with family and has quickly built a trusted relationship with Halle over a short period of time. Halle is calm and caring with Romeo, the pictures are reassuring and I look forward to getting them. It’s reassuring as a pet owner to know Romeo feels relaxed and safe with Halle”


About: Hi! I’m Ellie, I’m 19 and currently saving up to travel around Australia. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, so pet sitting is something I’m really excited to do! (i do cheaper when paying cash) My availability is the following: Monday - Tuesday : All Day/Night Wednesday : [00:00-17:00] [22:00-00:00] Thursday : [00:00-17:00] [22:00-00:00] Friday : [00:00-16:00] Saturday : [00:00-12:00] Sunday : [00:00-12:00] [22:00-00:00] I have my own gorgeous Border Collie called Myron. He’s super intelligent, full of energy, and needs lots of exercise, attention and mental stimulation every day. Because of him, I’m very used to caring for dogs that need more than just a quick walk and dinner, but would also love looking after pets who are low maintenance and need space! I love playing with pets, keeping them entertained, and making sure they’re happy. I also have an adopted cat who is naturally very nervous and anxious. When we first got him, he wouldn’t come anywhere near us, but over the years I’ve built up his trust by being patient and respecting his boundaries. One of his biggest milestones recently was finally choosing to sit on our laps (while still keeping a careful eye on everything going on!). Looking after him has taught me a lot about understanding anxious pets and letting them settle at their own pace. As part of my Animal Care course, I spent a year doing work experience at both an animal rescue centre and an equestrian riding centre. I learned how to carry out basic health checks, keep enclosures clean, feed and care for different animals, and make sure they were comfortable and well looked after.(this includes guinea pigs, bunnies, cats and kittens) I also gained experience looking after horses, including feeding, grooming and general stable duties. I also volunteered with a sea turtle conservation project in Kefalonia, which was an amazing experience. I helped relocate vulnerable nests when needed, carried out morning beach surveys, took part in beach cleans, and used red lights when guiding hatchlings to the sea to avoid disturbing them. It taught me a lot about caring for wildlife while respecting their natural behaviours. I’m a friendly, reliable, respectful and caring person, and I’d love to give your pets the same love, attention and care that I’d want for my own. Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or just love lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. PS - I am also consistent with cleaning and keeping places tidy. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily work around my shifts to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. I typically work about 3 days a week. At home, my mum is the primary carer for my own pets, so I’m usually free to look after other pets without any issues. The only exception is if she’s away, as I’d need to stay home with my own animals. However, I’d still be happy to help with shorter visits, such as dog walks or toilet breaks. If your dog is friendly and you’d be happy for them to have some company, I could even bring my dog, Myron, along on walks / to your house so they can enjoy some social time together! Whenever I’m looking after someone’s pet, I always take the time to get to know them first so I can understand their personality, routine, and what makes them happy. Every pet is different, so I like to make sure their care is tailored to their individual needs. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities. My cat, Charlie, is quite anxious, so I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, gentle, and give him the space he needs to feel comfortable. My dog, Myron, is very intelligent and needs lots of mental stimulation as well as exercise, so I’m used to keeping him busy with training, games, and fun walks. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or at an owner’s home, I’ll stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. My main goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Hi I love animals and for the last twenty years I have had the pleasure of sharing my life with cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, and fish. I have two rescue Greyhounds and have been volunteering for the Greyhound Trust and Home Run Hounds for 6 years. Prior to that I have volunteered for the RSPCA. I am currently completing an online course in dog behaviour and welfare. I have been a nurse for 30 years now working 9-5 Monday to Friday but with flexibility and my dream is to eventually work full time with animals. I'm currently working full time Monday - Friday (9-5) but there is plenty of time to help with animal care early morning, after 5pm and weekends. I volunteer at dog kennels 8-10.30am on Saturdays. I would not see fitting in animal care as a chore but instead a priveladge. Who doesn't love animal cuddles, obviously on their terms 🙂 My hope is to reduce my 9-5 nursing role and build up my animal care role. I have two rescue Greyhounds, one who is anxious and we are working on her reactivity which is through fear so at this time I am not offering home boarding however I am happy to come to you. Just let me know your routine and requirements and I will respect and work with you.

Since I’m home most of the time, I can quickly notice any changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort and respond right away👀 I care for pets by creating a calm, clean, and safe environment while following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure cats have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention throughout the day.🧹 🔐 Because I work from home, I’m able to provide frequent check-ins, supervision, and interactive playtime, as well as quiet companionship for cats who prefer a calmer presence.

This is the third time we’ve booked with Vivian to look after our cats and turtle, and once again, she was absolutely lovely! She always takes such good care of them and keeps us updated, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. It’s so reassuring to have someone we can trust to look after all our pets. We’re very happy with her service and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!
Joanne is a lovely person. She took care of my cat Milley for 3 days a week for 3 weeks during my holiday and everything seems normal. She posted photos and updates of her every visit. Thank you so much Joanne for taking care of Milley during those days! I really recommend your services for everyone that needs it.

Kat was amazing! This was my first time booking a cat sitter for my lovely Ramona, so I was a bit nervous about leaving her. Kat was very understanding and explained everything I needed to know. Ramona is quite shy, but that was no problem for Kat at all. In the end, Ramona was very loving and comfortable around her. 100% recommended. I couldn’t be happier with the care Kat provided! ❤️

Jess was fantastic! She took great care of my cat, Chanel, and my home while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-looked-after cat. She was very professional and sent me a daily report card with updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Jess and would happily book with her again. Thank you!

We had a great experience with Cristina! Our two cats were very happy and enjoyed her visits. It is clear Cristina is a genuine cat lover, she followed our requirements exactly and was extremely respectful in our home. Will 100% look to rebook when needed. Thank you Cristina!!

Katie was amazing! She took great care of my cat, kept me updated with photos and messages, and even tidy the cupboard where I keep the cat food. I came home to a happy cat 😉. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter.

Kellyann was amazing and our cat felt really comfortable with her even though he is a bit shy with strangers. She has put in a lot of effort into looking after our furry baby boy and they developed a very strong bond. Kellyann was very professional and has made us feel comfortable about our cat’s wellbeing. She sent updates on each visit including lots of pictures and videos. We are really satisfied and we will continue to work with her. 🫶🏻❤️

Marie? There is no one like Marie! Wonderful in all aspects of cat loving care. If it's not Marie for the cat sitting service, then it's hard to decide. She will go the extra mile showing 100% commitment, dedication and trust. Affectionate with cats and capable of handling special needs, such as medication administration. Exceptional communication, providing plenty of excellent photo and video updates. Marie is our precious, caring, little diamond. ♡

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.

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.
