“Chelsea was absolutely outstanding! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, kind, and professional. She even came for a meet-and-greet to help our pup feel comfortable and stayed longer than scheduled to ensure she was okay. Flexible, caring, and clearly passionate—highly recommend!”
“She is literally the BEST!!!! I will recommend her EVERY time. She goes above and beyond and is constantly giving updates with pictures and videos. Idk how we got so lucky to find her but we are so blessed and will book her time and time again.”
“This was our first time having Patrick watch our dogs and stay at our home, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, Patrick proved to be reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. He took great care of our dogs—not just covering the basics, but making sure they were comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine. It gave us a lot of confidence knowing they were in such good hands. He also did an outstanding job taking care of our home. Everything was kept clean, organized, and exactly how we left it. It’s not easy trusting someone in your space for the first time, but Patrick made it completely stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. We received regular updates and photos, which made it easy to relax while we were away. For a first experience, this couldn’t have gone any better. We highly recommend Patrick and will absolutely be using him again in the future.”
“Plachette is amazing. She did a fantastic job staying at our house for a week and watching our bernedoodle, Stormy. They really bonded and I can’t wait for her to watch Stormy again, as I know she will have the best care possible.”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Rebecca is a sweet and caring person who loves animals and puts their care first and foremost! We knew from seeing her around town working over the years that she is friendly and very responsible. I have to say that we were not worried leaving our pets in her hands. While, we were away and needed to ask her to take care of a matter for us, she did so with total grace and patience. If, you want to feel totally secure when leaving your pets while your away, please, consider booking Rebecca. You'll thank yourself, later!!!”
“Kayleigh was so great with my dogs and she went above and beyond to care for my senior dog. Communication was top notch and she kept me updated about everything. She’s great and we can’t wait to see her again.”
“Truly the best and most caring sitting we’ve had from rover (and we have had a lot of great sitters from rover too!) always sent pictures and detailed updates that made us feel so at ease.”
About: Hello! My name is Maya and I am an animal lover! I volunteered at a local animal shelter and was promoted to a volunteer coordinator there due to my dedication to caring for the animals searching for their fur-ever homes. During my time at the shelter I have administered medication, walked dogs twice my size, and have cleaned up far too many bad smelling liquids for one person alone. I am comfortable doing whatever may be necessary to ensure your pet is well taken care of and happy. You can be worry free if your pet is with me! I’m currently in graduate school online, so my schedule is flexible. I have the time to give your pet all the time and attention they need! I strive to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible! I understand boundaries and that some pets need time to open up and am more than willing to give them that time.
“Our Newf Ted loved his time with Beatriz and Hayden. They were wonderful companions for Ted and great houseguests. We’d highly recommend them and hope they can watch Ted in the future.”
“Erica did a fantastic job watching after my dog Jameson. She did everything she said she would do. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future. She is also a very nice and gracious person.”
“Third time having JaVae watch our pets at our home and another great experience. We trust her and she's so patient with our very anxious dog. Always a pleasure!”
“Christina was an amazing pet sitter! She stayed in our home for a long weekend to care for our mini labradoodle and our rabbit. I knew from the beginning that the pets were in good hands--she asks detailed questions and makes sure she has all the right info in case of emergency. She sent lots of pictures and was an excellent communicator. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. I will 100% be booking with her again when we need a sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care or both cats and dogs for 14 years since I was 5. I’ve learned pets body language over the years and know just want they need . I have free time during the week to stay with your pets for a few hours and over the weekends I have can stay overnight to look after them. I will stay where I can see them when I am over and if they need their space I will allow them that but they are always monitored and if they go silent I will check on them constantly.
About: I have owned my own dog for the past 15 years. Experienced with difficult eaters, medication needs, walking, playing etc. Experienced with dogs who don’t like other dogs. Currently at home most of the day most days. Will spend a lot of quality time with your pet. I’ll cater to how your pet wants to spend their time: cuddling, playing, walks, napping. I’ll provide whatever level of care and safety your pet is used to in your home and neighborhood. My goal is to make their time away from you as much like if you were there.
About: My name is Alexis, I grew up watching relatives and friends dogs and cats while they were out of town. I currently have four dogs and three children that are very friendly with other dogs and cats, especially small dogs. I currently work from home and care for my own dogs so your dog(s) will be right at home and you’ll have peace of mind that your dog(s) is getting the attention they deserve and plenty of belly rubs throughout the whole day. I’ve hosted many types of breeds and your dog may be hesitant at first with the pack so I make sure they have their own special place to unwind from the pack and usually after the first night of boarding and morning walk it’s a dog party! I work from home taking care of my children and my own dogs so I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. We have a unfenced yard however we have two outdoor leashes. I never have any dog unattended outside even on the leash. With anxious dogs I allow you them to sniff around the house as much as needed then give them lots of cuddles.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I love spending time with them in my free time! My daughter loves cats and dogs! Currently working 745am-345pm Monday-Friday. Can care for your pet before and after work! I also get a long lunch break would be able to check on them during then too! I have a large unfenced yard but willing to take dog to a fenced yard if needed! My daughter and I love spending time with animals.
“Carly has quickly become one of our go to sitters for our two rescue pups, Jade and Deacon. She’s dependable, open to feedback, and calm with our pups who have some quirks thanks to their pasts. I recommend her for your pet needs!”
“We had a great experience with Sarah for a 5 day getaway. She asked appropriate questions, was very communicative and sent photos, kept the house clean and took great care of our dogs while we were away. Its such a relief to have someone trustworthy and reliable. We will definitely book her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,409 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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.
