About: I am a fear-free certified professional trainer! Because of this along with almost a decade of experience, I am very confident in handling nervous or less-than-friendly dogs. I've absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was a little kid, even the ones that most people were afraid of. As an adult, I've worked in shelters, kennels, and in client's homes without incident! Depending on the days, I may have to make short trips away to train my client dogs. I will gladly spend the entirety of the rest of my time with your pets, including overnights! I am happy to follow a schedule if one is provided. I will also provide video or picture updates as frequently as requested. I will also be happy to check the house the pet is staying in to make sure it's safe for the pet. Any messes or accident's are no problem for me to clean up and I will inform the owner about them.
“Absolutely amazing. My dogs usually take a few visits for them to feel comfortable but within 10 minutes Luna was kissing her and within 30 minutes General was off leash and not paying any attention. He took treats from her no problem.”
About: I’ve had 8 dogs throughout my life and can take care of all dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m currently a collegiate athlete at Clark University, but will try my best to make time for your pups. Sundays are my main days able to provide services I know special tricks to get dogs to eat medicine if they need it as I’ve had many pups in need of medicine. I care for pets with lots of pets, a structured schedule, and exercise.
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015. I have looked after a whole range of health and abilities, including a diabetic cat who needed insulin injections, and a dog who needed eye drops! I’m an early career art teacher hoping to spend some well-needed time with furry friends afterschool and on weekends. I also take lots of pictures :) I am sure to be extremely respectful of your home and space! I love learning how you do things and doing my best to replicate it. My hope is for pet parents to rest assured knowing their babies are in safe, experienced, and loving hands.
“Lindsay is a reliable cat sitter, spending good time playing with our pet along with the feeding and litter work. My shy cat warmed up to Lindsay pretty quickly, she was very patient in coaxing him out of his hiding spots.”
“Michelle was OUTSTANDING! We had a dog sitter we have been using for the past few years and recently she had to stop due to life changes. Michelle came to meet us and instantly we knew she would take great care of our boys. I have 2 dogs (12 and 9), my eldest is a rescue and very anxious around new people. Michelle was patient and worked with him. After one drop in visit they were buds. The younger dog is a St Bernard and Michelle had no issues with caring for him and his size. He forgets he is a giant at times ? Michelle took very good care of our boys as well as our home. We have SEVERAL indoor plants and Michelle was attentive to all. She cleaned and took in the mail. It was wonderful coming home to happy pups, healthy plants, and a clean home. We would recommend Michelle to anyone! Can’t wait to have her hang with our boys again. Thank you Michelle!”
“Lindsay stopped by to visit my cat while I was in England. She brought her daughter with her, which was great- to give the cat some more attention. Professional, communicative, and on time. Thanks, Lindsay”
“Liz was excellent. I was Away for the holidays for 6 days. Liz always showed up and communicated clear and well while taking care of my two cats. She did an excellent job with the feedings and keeping the cats area/litter box spotless. I couldnt Have asked for a better cat sitter/ in home visits. She even did this during Christmas Eve and Christmas, I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommended”
“Ashley was very attentive and great in communicating and keeping us updated with the walks and check ins while we were away. They were well care for and left us at ease. The doggie report card and updates were very positive.”
“Katie always does such a good job taking care of my fur babies while I’m away. She treats them as they were her own. I feel comfortable & confident they’re getting the best care.”
“Nicole was great and my cat loved her! She kept me up to date with lots of pictures and texts during her visits which was awesome. It made leaving my cat at home a little easier knowing Nicole was checking in on her and giving her lots of love.”

During the week I am available for afternoon and early evening visits. On the weekends my availability is open! I build in dedicated time for each visit to ensure I’m never rushed, and every pet gets my full attention. I care for pets in their own home with the same respect and attentiveness I would offer in my own.

My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease while we’re on our routine together
“Tori was able to squeeze in my very short notice appointment, she followed every instruction provided and most importantly used the 30ft leash provided so my dog could go to his favorite place to run laps!

Bill has been caring for our 3 pups for nearly 3 years! To our three pups he is.... Uncle Bill! They get so excited and happy to see him every time he comes to see them whether it is for a quick or extended visit! They are so very comfortable with him!! Bill is by far one of the best friends our pups have and we fully trust him in caring for them when we are away and our house. You would truly be lucky to have Bill care for your furbabies!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rochdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rochdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Rochdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
