About: As a stay-at-home mom and experienced dog owner, I’m used to managing routines, details, and different personalities. I’m calm, reliable, and very attentive. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always send updates and photos so owners never have to wonder how their pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to plan visits consistently and reliably. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they’re visited on time, fed according to their routine, and given attention during each drop-in. I don’t overbook, so each pet gets focused care. I care for pets in their own home by following the owner’s routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow feeding instructions, refresh water, provide potty breaks, playtime, and attention based on the pet’s energy level and personality. I’m comfortable giving oral medications if needed. During each visit, I monitor for any changes in behavior and make sure your home is secure before leaving. I also send photo updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, but currently I have a 7 year old golden retriever I treat like my child! I’ve always trained all of my dogs myself and participated in many safety training classes regarding training. I am currently in graduate school and unemployed, so mostly it’s just me and my golden at home most days, so I have plenty of spare time to help in your pet’s care! I am open to boarding and house sitting, but also happy to do drop-ins or just walks! I have a big fenced in yard and a sweet golden who loves making new friends to keep your pup company! I have plenty of room to crate your dog if needed.
“Jessica was amazing! She kept us informed and sent pics! she was so sweet and kind and I know our pupps loved her. The next day when she was gone they went straight to her “room” when they woke up. That made me so happy knowing they were very well loved on. She even made sure the floors and bedding were clean when we came home and left the sweetest pup report cards! I hope she will always take care of our babies🩵”
“Alyssa is absolutely the BEST! She goes above and beyond for your baby. Our sweet Pig Pig adores her and we have even booked again for this weekend! We are so blessed to have Miss Alyssa as she is extremely loving and compassionate towards the babies. She is an angel and Pig Pig misses her already!”

“Alexis was amazing! Not only did our dogs adore her, but we came back to a spotless house. She kept us in the know with photos of our pups, and never minded when I asked for extra updates. I’d highly recommend using Alexis!”

“Emma was AMAZING! One of our dogs has a hard time being away from us but he took right to Emma. He ate his food and was very relaxed when we came home. She also took lots of pictures and videos of our dogs while we were away!”

“Britney took very good care of my three dogs and sent me daily photos and text messages to let me know how they were doing. I will forsure use her again for any up coming trips in the future.”

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families. I love animals and have over a decade of experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, mules, donkey's and pigs. Now I just have my two dogs but the are like our family. I have 5 years experience caring for elderly dog (my own) that needed special care and medications. I am currently not working any other jobs at this time and will have plenty of time to spend with you sweet fur baby or babies. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 of my own fur babies. I love spending time with them in the back yard, going for walks and playing fetch. I live close to a nature trail with a lake and love to take the dogs for walks there. We love that outside time. Inside I have room to play with toys and chill with your buddies.
“Brittaney did a great job keeping an eye on my two kids! She clearly loves dogs and took wonderful care of mine while I was away, she stayed in contact and sent lots of pictures too! I’ll definitely try to schedule her for my next trip.”

“Kayla was great— very communicative, professional, the type of person who you trust will take good care of your pup. We had travel issues crop up while Kayla was slated to take care of our dog & she just rolled with it. We would be happy to work with her again!”

About: I have watched, walked, and taken care of friends, family and coworkers pets for years. I also have my own I take care of daily! I work second shift at a restaurant so I have plenty of time before work and then time after work for night routine as well. I am flexible with whatever special care your pets needs, whether it be socializing at a dog park or private walks in the neighborhood. I also have a really cool cat wall if the cats would like a kitty play date.
“Alexis was great with my babies while I was gone! My dog does not take easily to new people, but she relaxed around Alexis pretty quickly in our pre-sitting meet up. I also didn't have to hunt down my cat like I usually do when sitters are over...which is a change. It's not them, but Xena doesn't like anyone...lol. She came in before I even had to look for her! Alexis is a good communicator and sent photos regularly to let me know how they were doing. I'll definitely hire her again.”

Trust me to pamper your pooch, right in the comfort of their own neighborhood! *I am not a trained or certified vet tech, my experience is general care only.

I make sure they're fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention. I keep the home clean, respect house rules, and provide updates so owners can feel at ease.
“This was the first time we used Rover, and we are thrilled. Arthur and Stephanie are excellent with our two Crazy dogs. This was a one-night test run, and it went off without a hitch. Now we are confident that our boys are in the right hands when we go away in the future. Even our grumpy, curmudgeon of a Border Collie, Kenai, doesn't generally warm up to people so quickly, but he slept with Stephanie! We are lucky to have found the perfect people to care for our dogs on the first try.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Trafford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 525 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Trafford. 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 Trafford 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 Trafford 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 Trafford 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.
