About: I truly love spending time with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I currently have a 10-month-old Pit Bull Terrier, Lily, so I have daily experience with young pup energy, leash walks, playtime, and positive reinforcement. I also cared for my 16-year-old Maltese, which taught me the patience and gentleness senior pets need. I'm attentive, dependable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet company, I'll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, and I'll treat yours with the same kindness and attention as I would my very own! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own puppy every day, so walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love are already built into my schedule. I'm happy to plan my day around each pet's routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I'll provide fresh food and water, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their pet is in good hands. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own.

“David was great! I forgot to put water out for my dog before rushing out for the day, and he kindly came to my house to make sure he had water. He responded super quickly and kept me updated every step of the way. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a child. My dad ran a kennel out of our home, so we always had dogs around,. As a teenager, I earned extra money caring for all kinds of animals, including dogs,. Growing up around animals and caring for them throughout my life has given me plenty of hands-on experience and a genuine love for pets. I work full time from home mostly, but I do travel 3 days a week for 3-4 hours at a time, but I am available to take care of your animals in the mornings and afternoons. I have a dog run attached to the house with a dog door that leads into the laundry room. I also have a large backyard that is not fenced but is great for leashed walks. I have a dog of our own who is friendly with other dogs and not aggressive, but can be crated if needed. I also have an air-conditioned shop/gym where your dog can stay in a crate if you prefer. I can offer several options to help keep your pet comfortable and well cared for.

“Macie was absolutely amazing! I needed someone on very short notice after the person I originally had lined up let me down, and she was able to step in and be there for my babies when I really needed someone. She did such a great job with my dogs and sent me lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell they were well cared for and in good hands with her. I’m so thankful she was able to help us out, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”

About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.

“Managing a pack of four dogs is a lot of work, but Alexis did a fantastic job with our two drop-in visits! She was incredibly reliable, arrived right on time, and made sure all four pups got their necessary potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of love. The detailed updates and photo check-ins really put our minds at ease while we were away for the day. We will absolutely be booking Alexis again!”

About: Just an animal lover. I’ve had ducks, rabbits, dogs and cats all my life. Right now I have two dogs who love to play and eat treats. Can help with potty training and other common tricks. I work full time as an electrician Monday-Friday. I’m gone from 5am-2:30pm. I have a doggy door with a fenced in backyard so my two dogs roam the house/yard as they please. If you don’t want your pets to roam during the day I’ll take them out in the morning and when I get home. And at 3pm we can do whatever they want walk/hike/swim/relax. I have a fenced in backyard with a doggy door access. Multiple cameras to keep an eye on everyone and neighbors ready to help out if needed.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Trafford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 849 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Trafford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trafford. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
