After taking the majority of 2025 off due to a bad injury, I am back to business and looking to build up my clients again. I currently work full time over 4 days (Tuesday to Friday) however I work remotely and as long as there is access to Wi-Fi (for overnight stays) I would be able to take regular breaks in order to take the animals out.

Taking care of your pets

Pet care experience

I’ve been around and taken care of animals my whole life. I have experience in a range of different breeds (large and small). Since moving to Manchester, I miss being around animals and would like to start taking care of them again.

Darren was excellent with Ralph, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Super efficient with communication and kept me well up to date with how Ralph was. Will definitely be using Darren again. Thank you!

Leaving your precious friends with a stranger in your own home is a daunting and nerve racking thought. That is, until you meet Darren. He has a demeanor that is both reassuring, calming and more importantly, your little friends are in good hands. Indeed, we arrived back after 15 nights away to happy dogs, a pristinely clean home and a happy dog sitter. The great news, no more anxiety before the next holiday and just pray Darren is available.

It's the first time of using Rover. I must say that Darren was a very professional young man and he looked after my dogs and house like he was a family member. I will be using him again next time we are going away. The only thing I would change on the web site is the contract information for sitter and home owner is correct.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
