“Kim was super helpful and friendly, plus she managed to befriend my cat Jackie who isn't usually a fan of strangers/humans in general! Was great to get daily pictures on the check-in visits. 5/5”


“Molly took excellent care of our cat Fudge, visiting twice a day when we were on holiday. She clearly made a real effort to get to know him, going above and beyond what was expected to make sure he was happy and well looked after. We are very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to ask Molly to come back again - Fudge will be looking forward to it! ?”

“Jasmine was wonderful at looking after my cat Chaps over the Christmas period, he's a shy boy and seems to have really warmed to her over the days she cared for him which is wonderful to see! Really grateful for her care ☺️💕”


“Daniel was brilliant looking after our beautiful bengal, Freddie. He’s often a bit stressed when we get back from a trip but this time he seemed remarkably calm and happy. The pictures and videos every single visit were something we looked forward to and it was such a relief to know that he was being looked after so well back at home whilst we were away. We will always come back to Daniel for cat sitting - something I suspect Freddie will be very pleased about!”

“Bethany was a perfect dog sitter, understanding and acting on a complicated and changing set of requests. Sybil was very happy with her and was given all the attention and care she needed.”

“Hilary was brilliant with our puppy - he clearly had a great time with her on the home visits. Reliable, experienced and very good at keeping in touch before, during and after the booked sessions. Thank you Hilary!”

About: I have experience pet sitting both cats and dogs in Ukraine, Poland, and the UK. With clear instructions, I’ll know exactly what to do to make your pet’s time with me the best experience possible. I always try to follow your pet’s needs and personality — if they’re full of energy, we’ll go for long walks and play; if they prefer calm company, we’ll enjoy quiet cuddles and gentle care. I work part-time at a school, which leaves me with plenty of time during the day for dog walks and spending quality time with your pet. I enjoy being active and giving pets attention, care, and companionship while their owners are away. I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment for pets. In the owner's home, I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, receive plenty of attention, and have fresh water and a clean space. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Kerry was quick to reply to my initial message, keen to get to know Daisy before I went away, and communicative while I was away. I was sent daily photos, and feel that Daisy was really looked after while I was away. I will definitely book her next time I go away.”


“Would really recommend leaving your cat in the capable hands of Kirsty, I came back to a very happy cat that had been well cared for. The report card she gives is brilliant, includes an update and a photo each time, which put my mind at rest he was being well looked after.”

“Carol was great with the cats who are both rescues and can be quite timid. They really took to her and let her stroke them. She is reliable and trustworthy and took great care of them. She was lovely and came for a visit beforehand too to meet them. Great communication.”

“John was amazing with Thor. I am a “pet mum” full of requests and reminders , lists on the wall and especially i request a continues update. John gave me everything I requested and he was really caring and affectionate with Thor🥰 I was a little apprehensive about many things cause although Thor is not a Huge dog is anyway a dog of a certain size, I have nothing but good words about him and I will for sure book him again in the future.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for a wide range of breeds, from Labradors and German Shepherds to Mastiffs, Dogue de Bordeaux, and Staffie crosses. I have owned both male and female dogs and have experience managing multiple dogs at once, including caring for three female dogs together, balancing their individual needs, routines, and personalities while ensuring a calm and structured environment. I currently have a male French Bulldog puppy, Bugs, with my partner. Together, we have enjoyed plenty of adventures such as beaches, woodlands, and botanical gardens, while also focusing on training, including basic commands, potty training, and crate training. I am more than happy to support your dog or puppy with training routines to keep things consistent. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including small breeds, puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds over 50kg. Because of this, I am confident in reading dog behaviour and body language, allowing me to tailor care to each dog’s personality and comfort level. I always prioritise a stress free environment and can choose quieter walking routes if your dog prefers to avoid social interactions. I also have experience administering medication, including caring for my own dog during gastroenteritis, so I am comfortable supporting dogs with additional care needs. I have access to my own car, which allows me to be flexible for transport, emergencies, or last minute bookings when available. Please let me know about your dog’s temperament, any reactivity to other dogs, or any special requirements during booking. I am happy to accommodate and ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently work part time, usually Mondays and Tuesdays, which gives me flexibility throughout the rest of the week. I am available for walks and drop ins around five days a week and can often accommodate different times. I always aim to be as flexible as possible, so please feel free to message me to discuss your needs and I will do my best to accomodate this (can possibly swap days at work if I am able to). Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large garden that is fenced at the back and sides, and I always supervise dogs closely when outside. I currently have a young puppy at home, so I am very mindful of creating a calm and controlled environment, with careful introductions depending on your pets temperament. I am experienced in reading pet behaviour and will always ensure your pet feels safe and at ease. For dogs: I can provide crate support if needed and will follow your dog’s routine closely to keep them relaxed and well cared for.

Thank you so much Kim for looking after our Badger and Sausage. Kim made sure to check on the cats and refreshed the litter trays and water. Not only that but on the final day, Badger, who is usually very scared of pretty much everyone, let Kim cuddle him, proving how comfortable he is. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.
