About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of different breeds and other animals since a young age. Neighbours, friends and close family have all asked me to take care of, feed and give attention to their animals to which I performed precisely. I am currently caring for my partner as she is heavily pregnant and am not currently working a 9-5 due to the care that she requires and as the pregnancy has caused a lot of unexpected difficulties it is safer for me to remain closer to home. I house 3 in door cats, their needs and requirements are met on a daily basis, playtime divided evenly between the 3, constant cuddles and comfort from myself and partner, constant litter tray supervision, regular biscuit bowl, water and wet food throughout the day.

“We have been using Janet 2-4 times per week to do an hour drop in session with our puppy for over a month now. We get feedback throughout and following the sessions and he seems comfortable with her on all the photos. We will be continuing to use her to come and visit him so he’s not on his own all day while we’re at work.”

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: 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.
“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”
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was born. I have 2 dogs of my own and my family also do so i’ve been around them always. I am always stopping to look at peoples dogs. I am taking leave from working so I am available any time you need my help and do not require much notice. If you have any questions please let me know! I have a fenced garden and my own fur baby to keep yours company. I love playing and am happy to give my full attention to your baby just as I would to my own.
“Alex was fantastic, she took excellent care of our cat, Millie, whilst we were away on holiday. Millie clearly took to Alex too as she's usually a bit fussy but gave Alex lots of cuddles and play time.”
“This was the first time I had left my cats in the care of a sitter, as well as the first time I had been gone for over a week (I was gone for 15 days), and I had just moved to the area less than 2 weeks before I took this trip, but Wai did a fantastic job, updated me with videos every day and made taking my trip less stressful, knowing my cats were being taken care of whilst I was away.”
About: I've just recently lost my gorgeous little Boston, winston and am missing him so much, so thought it would be an amazing opportunity to take care of and cuddle lots of other doggies until I am ready to get another. I had winston for 12 years and loved him like my child. I trained him from a puppy and then took care of him and gave him his medication and lots of care in his senior years. I was always brought up around dogs and genuinely love them more than most people. You can be guaranteed your fur babies will get a lot of love and care with me. I'm a teacher so am available at weekends or during school holidays for boarding. I can do drop ins and walks in the evenings on top of this. I dont have any children or other pets so your doggy will get my undivided attention. I treat them like children so they are very welcome on the couch and on the bed with me etc. I live near big playing fields and also have a garden.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child, I have had dogs all my life and started looking after other peoples pets at around 16, I have two of my own large rescue dogs that come with their own issues so I am well experienced with animals with nerves. I understand pets that are shy as I have looked after my aunties pets that struggle with anxiety and we have built a bond overtime. I have experience with slightly larger breeds such as male staffies and pit bulls as I have grown up with them since I was 7, I have also looked after puppies before (less than 1 years old, not less than a month old etc.) I am willing and capable to care of a young pup. I have looked after many cats and understand some are not as sociable, I am patient. I am no stranger to being nibbled by puppies and giving them extra play time / longer walks to tire them out, I also understand older dogs need a more relaxed approach. I have recently finished college and I have much more spare time, as such an animal enthusiast I figured this would be the perfect opportunity. I wake up early and complete daily chores around the house and feeding / walking my own pets. I also sell online so I will often be posting parcels, I am 18 with a full driving licence and my own vehicle so transport is no issue! I am available all throughout the day. I have been trusted multiple times with peoples house keys and being able to let myself in / lock up their homes to watch over their pets. Our garden is fenced off and pretty decent space wise, we also have toys at home that have never been touched as our dog is not interested, we have a large crate if necessary and other dog beds, we have a guest room that can be used for your pet. We always have treats and multiple water bowls available. The back garden is safe and we do not take the dogs on the front garden unless they are on a lead.
“Jade was my first booking for a sitter, & I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service. She kept me updated throughout, sent me some great pictures and videos whilst I was away, and her attention to detail in terms of how she left my home when I arrived back was fantastic - went above and beyond :) Will be choosing her again in future for sure! Thanks again Jade :)”
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!

Vickie did a great job looking after my usually shy furbaby. She's gave me plenty of updates, he looked so calm with her and clearly had a much better time than when he has been to cat boarding previously. She also left us a lovely little welcome home gift! Will definitely be using Vickie again for future getaways, highly recommend her.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. ❤️
Emilia provided an excellent service for both our pets in attending on a daily basis and provided a written and photographic report of her visits. Our cat - who can be rather picky as to who he befriends - got on like a house on fire. Emilia responded to our requests in full.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bolton on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 63 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Bolton. About 86% 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.
