“Hana is a wonderful cat sitter and my little Seb loves her! She is very professional, trustworthy and I always know Seb is getting looked after and treated well 😊 we left Seb for a week in June (longest we had left him) and seeing Hana’s updates and pictures was massively reassuring for me! Thanks as always Hana 😊”
“This was our first time using the app and having a cat sitter, and Alexandria was fantastic. She kept in touch with us every day, sending updates that really reassured us that our cats were being well looked after. One of our cats is very timid, but Alexandria managed to get her to come out and play, which shows just how safe and comfortable she felt. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend Alexandria to others. Thanks again!”
“Janet has been an absolute lifesaver for my blind beagle, Millie! From day one, she has been incredibly calming, attentive, and patient, making sure Millie feels safe and comfortable and enjoys every walk. Her reliability and genuine care give me total peace of mind, knowing Millie is in the best hands. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker, Janet is the best! Highly recommend!”
“Andreea was absolutely wonderful with our two boys! She was extremely reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and notes throughout the stay. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our cats was in her hands. We will definitely be booking with Andreea again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Patricia did an excellent job looking after my cats and on fairly short notice too! I received text messages after each visit giving me an update on how things were going which was really reassuring. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to ask Patricia to assist again in the future. Thanks Patricia 👍🏼”
About: All dogs will be given plenty of exercise throughout the day as I love my walks and outside too! All day of fun and playing! Monday - Friday I can walk dogs from 6:30pm-8pm. Weekends I can pet sit from Friday at 6:30pm- Sunday 9pm. Weekends are more flexible from am-pm. I will offer them water and treats. Pet food will need to be supplied by the owner and familiar toys. I am happy for pets to sit on my couch/bed and share my home.
About: I've had all animals in my life from when I was 3 or 4 years old. I grew up with cats, dogs & birds. My gorgeous dog passed away a few months ago, & I would love to help care, & look after other peoples pets. I know how important it is to know your babies are being well looked after. I'm very active, love walking, being outdoors, yoga, meditation. So big walks are no issue, also happy to chill indoors with the ones who love being at home. I work remotely so can be available most days. I'm working remotely, so have a very flexible timetable. I go into my office in Manchester every so often, but can be available most days. On the weekends I'm usually out on a big walk, & then relaxing with some yoga. So. a big doggo would fit in perfectly, & I'll be there to look after the cats in the evenings. I'm pretty chilled, & can work around most schedules. I don't drive, so drop offs & pick ups aren't available, unless my partner can do it with enough notice given. Happy to help where possible. - Fenced, private garden - Quiet walks, & parks in the area - No children at the property - I have water & food bowls - The dog can treat my home like there own & are free to rome or go wherever they please
About: Hi! I’m Alice, and I’m a friendly, caring and reliable animal lover who would love to look after your dog whenever you need! Although I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I absolutely love animals and I’m excited to have the opportunity to give your pets some extra love and attention when you can’t be there. My closest friends have dogs and I have walked them when needed and housed them whilst friends have been away. My ex-partner had a dog, we were together for 8 years, and I looked after her due to my work commitments - she was my little running buddy and kept me company whilst working from home. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, so I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable in their own home, in mine or out for a walk. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means feeding, walking, napping, having a play, giving them lots of fuss (if they want it!) or simply keeping them company. I’ll also send you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and being looked after. ❤️ I’m reliable, respectful of your pet and home and will always treat your pet as an individual. I’m also very happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you can show me their routine and make sure we’re a good fit. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I work during the week, predominantly from home, but have good flexibility around my working hours, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m able to plan pet visits and walks around my schedule and will only accept bookings that I know I can give the time and attention they deserve. I am normally walking the local area solo, before and after work and on my lunch so it would be lovely to have some company! I’m reliable, organised and punctual, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine wherever possible. I can also be flexible with visit times when needed, and I’ll always communicate clearly with you about availability. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their individual personality, routine, needs and any important instructions before looking after them. For visits and walks, I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication if required, toilet breaks, walking preferences and any things I should be aware of. I’ll always make sure doors, gates and leads are secure and that your pet is safe before leaving. I’m respectful of your home and will leave everything clean and tidy. I’ll also keep you updated during visits with messages and photos, so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and being well cared for. I’m very happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before the first booking so we can get to know each other, you can show me your pet’s routine, and we can make sure I’m the right person to look after them.
About: I've always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether it's a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience and attention, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to them. I'm happy to stick to feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and most importantly, give lots of affection and reassurance. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I'll always treat your pets as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and well looked after. I work from home, which means I'm available throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship and care. Whether your pet enjoys regular walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never be left feeling lonely. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate most routines and give pets the time and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, tidy and smoke-free indoors, with a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and play. Larger dogs are welcome to enjoy the spacious downstairs living areas and garden, although the upstairs is kept off-limits for them. I'm lucky to live close to plenty of lovely walking routes, green spaces and adventure spots, perfect for keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, gentle strolls or simply relaxing at home, I'll tailor their care to suit their needs. I also share my home with one friendly indoor cat (Koby the Bengal), so it's important that visiting pets are comfortable around cats. We are open to separating them for some shorter stays. There are no breed or size preferences, but for the safety and wellbeing of everyone, I can only accept pets that are non-aggressive and well behaved in the home environment. Most importantly, your pet will receive lots of affection, attention and companionship throughout their stay, day or night, cuddles are always included!
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing – We Couldn’t Have Asked for Better! We honestly cannot thank Liz enough for looking after our little Kiki over the past few days. From the moment we left her, we felt completely reassured that she was in the safest and most caring hands. Liz was absolutely wonderful with Kiki. She treated her as if she were her own, giving her so much love, attention, cuddles and care. It was obvious how much she genuinely cared about Kiki’s happiness and wellbeing, and that meant the world to us. Being away from your pet can be worrying, but Liz made the whole experience completely stress-free. We had every confidence that Kiki was being looked after, loved and spoiled — exactly as she deserves! ❤️🐾 When we came home, it was clear that Kiki had been incredibly happy and settled, which says everything. Liz went above and beyond, and we really couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We would recommend Liz 100% to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and genuinely passionate about looking after their pets. Kiki has definitely made a new friend, and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Liz again. Thank you so much, Liz, for taking such amazing care of our precious little Kiki. You were absolutely brilliant! ❤️🐱🐾”
“Emilia was really easy to communicate with and extremely kind and pleasant to deal with. She took great care of my cat Alan while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone”
About: Hey, my name is Glenn and I am from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 . I've had cats and dogs since I was very young, so caring for animals comes natural to me and is an absolute pleasure. I have some free time and would love to fill that with walks and house visits for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, young or old! I would be more than happy to give any required medication while with your pet if needed! It would be a pleasure to provide drop in visits, house sits and walks from 30-60 minutes. I am a very active person myself and love going for walks and runs in the park. What better way to do that than with a four legged friend? I am a student with a very flexible schedule so I am available at varying times throughout the week. This availability will change week to week but I will always make Rover a priority as it’s something I enjoy so much. I am unable to take pets into my own home but I am comfortable providing pet sitting or drop in visits in your own home.
About: I have worked in emergency veterinary care for 5 years now, and have a lot of experience with all types of different animals! I have completed my VCA course through Myerscough college and am pursuing my Veterinary Nursing Diploma. Prior to working where I am now, I also worked at the RSPCA rehoming centre - spending time with the dogs and cats, caring for them before they went off to their new homes. I have two cats, Leonis and Cookie, who I absolutely adore. Prior to these two, I also had Holly and Bailey - two Ragdolls, who lived until they were 18! I currently work 5 days in (working nights) 5 days off, so I have plenty of time to spend time with your babies, especially when I am off work! Even on my days in, I would be able to pop round to feed, toilet, and spend some quality time if your pet wanted, too. Pets definitely rule the roost when it comes to doing home visits, so I would do all of their normal routines to the best of my ability. If dogs have a favourite route to walk, I’ll do my best to let them enjoy that walk too!
“Stefano left lovely updates with every visit, full of descriptive and creative language, that made me very happy to read them! It really felt like my boys had been cared for to the highest standard. I'll definitely keep Stefano in mind for my next trip! Thankyou Stefano!!”
About: Over the past 20 years I have had experience of taking care of dogs, I have great experience in boxer dogs spaniels of any kind ( English, sprocket or cocker spaniels). Other types of dogs I have taken care of are Rhodesian ridgebacks border collie , labradoor and much more I’m always willing to play and walks to tire your loved fur babys I am current unemployed so will have all the time in the world to give 100% attention to your pet I am available all day 7 days a week I have a large fenced off back garden all ready for your pet to run around in and play as much as they want and treat them the same as I’d treat my own with playing games and activities
About: I have 3 cats of my own (my babies I love them), some fish and over the years my experience includes looking after friends/families pets. Most recently my boyfriend’s elderly cat with thyroid medication and a friend’s dog with a strict diet. I’m used to cats behaviour and will give them the patience, attention and playtime they need, as I’d want other sitters to treat my pets with the same care. As an animal lover I am open to looking after other animals, I also love dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise they’ll be cared for as if they were my own 😊🩷 Im currently in between jobs so I have full availability and can be flexible to fit around your pets routine. I also have a driving license so travelling won’t be a problem. During visits I will do the basics (cleaning litter, feeding your pet, dog walking, sweeping/cleaning the room), provide medication if needed, lots of cuddles, play and will send updates of course!
About: Hi! I’m Lita, a proud pet mum to three lovely pets: one dog and two cats. I’ve cared for animals for over 10 years, so I have plenty of experience with both cats and dogs, from everyday care and playtime to giving oral medication when needed. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether they need a nice walk, a game of fetch, brushing, cuddles, feeding, or a little extra spoiling, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m also happy to help with small pet care tasks such as cleaning litter trays or pet toilets. Just let me know what your pet’s routine is, and I’ll follow it carefully. I work from home as a graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. I currently work fully remote so I only need somewhere I can plug a computer next to your pet. I can have as many walky or play-time breaks as needed and real cuddles! I am happy to provide daily updates and photos and keep a diary/summary of the day. My house is fully fenced and has a small garden to where the dog can have full access during the day
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience with dogs from 1 year old to 18 years old. I’ve also always had a variety of other pets including cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas and even Giant African Land Snails. I have even featured as a rescuer on Channel 4’s Dog Rescuers. Unfortunately due to the nature of my job as international cabin crew it is no longer possible for me to have pets of my own so I am pouring all my love for animals into looking after other people’s pets and making sure they feel right at home in my care. Offering a loving home away from home environment where your pets can feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you are away. As a member of cabin crew I bring a calm, caring and compassionate nature. I am trained to stay calm during any number of situations and this transfers easily to the care of animals. I have standard and enhanced DBS certificates due to my job as well as through tutoring which I have been doing alongside my work. I live with my husband Matt, in a lovely home with a fenced, secure garden which has both grass and patio areas and we live adjacent to fields and the bus route for save walking routes. I’m also an avid runner and love having company on runs for those pets that would prefer extra exercise. I am on a part time roster so every fourth week is a week off. When I am in work, my typical working block would be 3-4 days away and then 2-3 days off at home without any other commitments. This means I am able to commit completely to looking after and playing with your dog on my available days. I have a secure, fenced back garden where your dog can roam freely and have areas nearby for safe walking routes away from main roads.

Stefano left lovely updates with every visit, full of descriptive and creative language, that made me very happy to read them! It really felt like my boys had been cared for to the highest standard. I'll definitely keep Stefano in mind for my next trip! Thankyou Stefano!!
The most kind, gentle, caring and attentive person I could ever wish to mind my fur babies. I got the best photos & videos daily. Nothing was too much trouble for Lucy. I came home to extremely happy cats, immaculate litter trays and no mess from my cats. I would highly recommend to everyone. Fabulous service we will use every single time!
Wai Han was incredible. She always made sure our cat was fed and gave him so much love and attention. Our cat is usually quite anxious around new people, but he warmed to Wai Han so quickly, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and trustworthy cat sitter. We’re so grateful for all the love and care she gave him!

Emilia’s second time looking after our pets was the height of professionalism and care. We received daily updates and supporting photos of how she attended to the needs of our smaller friends. This gave us peace of mind whilst away and we would not hesitate to recommend Emilia and her services as a diligent carer of pets.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Beyond Expectations We are truly grateful to Bethany for the outstanding care she provided for our cats during wr absence. She did everything perfectly & treated our boys with genuine love, patience, & responsibility. What makes her truly exceptional is that despite going through very difficult circumstances herself — including severe pain in her ankle due to reflex issues that required a hospital visit — she still came back to our home after the hospital to care for our cats so that she would not let us down as she Promised us. This level of dedication, honesty, & compassion is extremely rare in this time. Bethany is an amazing & wonderful person. Our respect & appreciation for her have grown immensely. She never abandoned us, even while she was suffering in pain. She is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted, & trustworthy people we have ever met. Words like “thank you” are simply not enough to express our gratitude. She deserves the highest level of respect & trust, we Highly recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who truly cares — not just about cats , but about keeping doing as what she promises no matter the circumstances. Thank you once again. You are truly remarkable. God Bless you. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bolton on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,696 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Bolton. About 92% of Bolton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
