“Taylor saved the day by taking a last-minute booking request (in the middle of having floors replaced in the house). It was chaotic to say the least, but she was very flexible, communicative, and took great care of the dogs. I was given regular updates the whole time.”
“My husband & I were really nervous to have someone house sit, but not only was Ryan awesome with our Yorkie & Fox Terrier but we returned to a clean house. He followed all of our well & gave daily reports on our fur-babies. Thanks so much Ryan!!”

About: Throughout my life i’ve grown up with dogs and later in life with cats. I have also worked at boarding places here and there and currently work as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. Currently I am working full time at the clinic T-F 8-6. I will sometimes work a Saturday job seasonly but that won’t start until around spring. That being said I am available currently all weekends and mondays as well to walk your pups! Making sure everything is safe first and then clean. I will mainly be doing walking services so any poop or mess will be cleaned up on the walk and same for inside if need be! I will always greet your dog in a safe way to ensure safety on both ends and trust.

“Kaitlyn pet/house sat for us recently, and we are so grateful for her help. She kept us regularly informed of our babies and was comfortable asking questions. It was wonderful knowing we had someone we could trust taking care of our critters!”

“Ben was absolutely wonderful! He communicated well sent great photos and we felt very good about having him care for our dogs. He asked great questions when he was unsure and to me that is the mark of a great person and a caring pet sitter! We will ask Ben back for sure!”
“Makinzie was great! She was willing to help with an overnight weekend stay on really short notice. She took great care of my dog and was very communicative throughout. Would recommend and will book again.”


About: I have dog sat and dog walked all different breeds since I was young kid, starting with family and neighbors. I then went on to work at a Doggy Daycare for one year, where I really understood how to care for, command, and protect all different types of dogs. I am the biggest animal lover specifically with dogs and I want to be someone to give your dog love, exercise, and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and can be available both during typical work hours if you have a 9-5 or night shifts if you work overnights and anything in between! I am fully dog safety trained and can provide the dogs with whatever care their owners would like whether that is during walks or check ins, or overnight stays!
“Natalia was incredible! She took amazing overnight care of our rescue pup with separation anxiety. Throughout the booking process and the period our dog was in Natalia’s care, she was warm, responsive, and accommodating. I can’t recommend Natalia enough!!”

“Caitlin was fantastic! Our pets absolutely loved her, she shared plenty of photos and updates during the short stayl Couldn't ask for more and we'll definitely be using her again.”

“Nico's watched our energetic boxers a couple of times before but this time he stayed at our home for 3 weeks. Dogs thought they were on vacation too as they got a lot more exercise and attention than normal life. Very thankful for his attention to the dogs and helpful with small things around the house while we were gone. Recommend him to others for single day/walks or longer term sitting.”


“Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly kind, respectful and attentive to every detail. She asked thoughtful and important questions, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dogs in her care. My dogs absolutely loved her! She was early for both our meet and greet and her visit, and her communication and reliability were amazing. I truly couldn’t rate her highly enough and look forward to having her watch my fur babies again!”

“Juliette was so responsive with the lead-up to her watching my cat, Artemis. She contacted me about how Artemis was doing during each visit and she was so kind. I would recommend booking her because she really made sure Artemis was well looked after.”


“Beverly was awesome. This was the first time we were away from our 150lb mastiff puppy and we were worried about him. Bev made us very comfortable during the meet and greet and communicated with us up until the the sit started to ensure she had all the details and care instructions. On the day of the sit she showed up right on time and settled in before we had to leave, so the puppies would get used to her being in the house. During the next few days she took wonderful care of our furbabies. She played with them and cuddled with them when they were moping and was persistent about trying to get them to eat. Pretty soon they were following her around everywhere. She sent us a lot of pictures of them and the house was immaculately clean when we got back. We would love for her to care for our babies again in the future.”

“PHENOMENONAL...we were out of options and turned to rover.com to find a sitter for our fur babies. After the first day of updates and photos we received from Tabor we were at ease. Tabor stayed with our animals and took care of them as if they were his own. Highly recommend him if you need a sitter or any kind.”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was 14 years old and have spent years helping care for my own pets as well as family pets. In addition to dogs, I currently care for my own cats and have experience looking after a coworker’s two long-haired cats and a friend’s two cats while they were away. I offer drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, fresh water refills, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available after 5:00 PM for visits, walks, and pet care. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to caring for your pets. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your furry family members. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I will ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and that their environment stays clean and safe. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care that both pets and owners can feel good about. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I work full time during the weekdays, but I’m available after 5 PM for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate even more time to caring for pets and sticking to their normal routines. Since I’m already a pet owner myself, caring for animals is naturally part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide reliable care, communication, and plenty of affection. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all instructions exactly as given, including feeding routines, litter box or potty breaks, medication needs, and any specific care preferences. I also make sure to keep things clean and tidy, and I always double-check doors, gates, and anything needed to keep pets secure. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to learn their behavior, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re gone.

“Brian and Georgette took excellent care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. They provided daily updates and photos / videos of our pups as well, which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend them!!”


“Morgan is the BEST!! She sent so many updates and pictures and I felt so comfortable and relaxed on vacation because I knew my pup was having the best time! I will be using her from now on moving forward!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 5,102 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Salford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Salford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Salford 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
