“She is very responsible and communicative, always giving clear updates and photos, and making sure I know how my cat is doing. Most importantly, my cat absolutely love her. It’s obvious that she truly cares about animals and treats them with patience and kindness.”

About: Hi, we’re Caitlin & Jak from Atherton, Manchester and love being outdoors with animals on our days off! Due to work commitments, we are unable to have a furry friend of our own, which is why we love to care for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments during our days off! This being said, we are reliable and attentive and treat every dog like they’re our own. We’ve grown up around dogs our whole life and currently have two Weimaraners and a Cocker Spaniel in the family, so we’re comfortable with high-energy breeds, regular walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged but settled. We are familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, and providing lots of playtime and companionship. We also understand how important communication is, so make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and quick responses while they’re away. What sets us apart is our calm, observant approach — we pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled. We adapt to each animal’s individual needs. So if this sounds like the type of service you’re looking for to keep you and your pets happy, drop us a message! I’m a newly qualified nurse with a caring, responsible nature and a genuine love for animals and humans! On my days off, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible, whether that’s going for long walks, runs, or exploring new places. I also run for a local club, so I’m very active and used to keeping up with energetic dogs who enjoy plenty of exercise and stimulation. Being active outdoors is a big part of my lifestyle, which makes dog walking and pet care something I truly enjoy. My boyfriend is also in the military, so when he’s away for periods of time I really value the companionship animals bring. I genuinely enjoy having pets around, giving them attention, company, and keeping them happy and settled while their owners are away or working. Although I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, I’m very close to local parks, walking trails, and plenty of green space, so dogs will still get lots of outdoor time, exercise, and stimulation. There’s also access to secure garden areas nearby for shorter walks and toilet breaks. I also drive, which means I’m flexible and able to travel to local homes to care for pets in their own familiar environment if preferred.

“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.”

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.

About: I am fully devoted to animal care as i want to become a vet in the future so this is a stepping stone to my hopeful future success. I am currently unemployed searching for a steady income/ job so i am fully available are ready for any pet sitting or walking that is needed. I am happy to help people out who are busy during the day when their pets need more. I am responsible for feeding the cat and dogs and i also walk the dogs daily. I also enjoy going out with my boyfriends dog as she can walk a lot further than my dogs so we get a lovely hike out of the walks with her.

“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: My experience comes from having a German Shepherd and Rescue Newfoundland at Home watching my mum raise them from puppies. I have learnt and adapted the skills from her, enabling me to look after and cherish every single dog. I am currently at university away from home. At home, my dogs are a big part of my family routine from the morning to the evening even during my college and work days. From being fed, walked, brushed, played with. When my mum wasn’t there to look after them. It was my main priority. Pets thrive in their own environment when they are comfortable, they are going to miss their owners quite a fair bit. I usually just try to play with them, keep them company as always

“Zuzanna has been amazing from start to finish! She did a lovely introductory meet & greet, and my cat took to her straight away—it was clear she’s confident and comfortable around animals, especially cats. Throughout her time looking after my little one, she sent me loads of photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was so reassuring to know my cat was in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend Zuzanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter!! 10/10 I will be booking again when the time comes 🐈‍⬛”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, cats and rabbits in the home. Since buying my first home, I now have two cats and a rabbit of my own, and I regularly look after my parents’ cockapoos and five cats when they go away. I’ve also cared for friends’ retrievers and have experience with a wide range of cat breeds and temperaments, including Ragamuffins, Birmans and Ragdolls as well as some gorgeous fun loving moggies :) I offer a calm, loving, cosy home environment with a large secure garden where dogs can safely run around and play. Visiting dogs are treated like part of the family and can make themselves comfortable around the house, whether they enjoy sofa cuddles, quiet time or garden zoomies. I can't wait to have a dog of my own in the future! I’m patient, reliable and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding instructions, walks, playtime, medication where needed (having owned a disabled cat previously that required medication) and regular updates for owners. As I have my own cats and rabbit, they can be kept separate from visiting dogs and cats if needed, so everyone feels safe and settled. I'm 28 years old and currently a Masters student completing my dissertation so I will be at home all the time and I live with my partner who's a high-school teacher. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and so I promise to care for them with kindness, attention and genuine love until you return to them. Ready to accept boarders, stay at your home wiht pets and offer dog walking if its close to my home. My current routine is ideal for pet care, as I’m home most of the week and love having animals around while I study. I’m currently at home throughout the week while completing my Master’s dissertation, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of time, attention and company during the day. Because I’m home-based at the moment, your pet wouldn’t be left for long periods, and I can easily work around their usual routine — whether that includes feeding times, walks, playtime, garden breaks, medication, cuddles or quiet time. I also really enjoy getting out for local walks, so having a dog to care for fits perfectly with my lifestyle. I’m happy to build walks into the day depending on your dog’s energy levels and needs, whether they prefer a gentle stroll or something a little more active. If I go to the gym, I usually go very early in the morning around 5:30–6:00am, so it doesn’t take away from the time I can dedicate to looking after your pet but I can work this around the dog/cats routine. Overall, my routine is calm, flexible and home-based, which means I can offer a reliable and attentive environment for your animal while they’re in my care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, settled and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my own home, I offer a calm, welcoming environment where pets can settle in at their own pace and be treated like part of the family. I have a large secure garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air, playtime and toilet breaks safely. Inside the house, pets are welcome to make themselves comfortable, whether they prefer being close by, relaxing in a quiet spot, or having space to themselves. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding instructions, walks, medication, sleep arrangements and any specific rules or preferences from their owner. Because I have two cats and a rabbit of my own, I’m very mindful of introductions, boundaries and keeping animals safe. My own pets can be kept separate from visiting pets if needed, and I would always discuss this with owners beforehand to make sure the arrangement is suitable for everyone. I’m also happy to care for one or two dogs/cats at a time if needed or just look after one if that helps your pet feel more settled and gives you extra peace of mind. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, behaviour and needs before a booking, including how they are with other animals, whether they have any anxieties, allergies, medical needs or triggers, and what helps them feel calm. I believe in gentle, patient care and would never force interaction or rush a pet who needs time to adjust. Happy to have a call or meeting beforehand if that makes you feel more comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the home with the same respect and care I would expect in my own. I’ll make sure pets are fed, checked, comforted and cared for properly, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well looked after.

About: We are a private domestic couple who have been together + working together for a number of years and have extensive experience in caring and looking after animals. What sets us a part is that we come two for one! So your pet will never be left alone and will receive a lot of attention, care and exercise as we live near a lot of beautiful woodlands! In our last employment, we both worked for a private estate and one of our duties was to look after the animals which included; 16 cream dachshund, 4 highland cows, 3 black sheep, and 7 horses/ponies. We have previous and current clients who we often dog sit / house-sit (this has been done outside of Rover) as well as the occasional dog walking. Our experience has also took us abroad - looking after a whole farm in Italy, as well as private dog and cat sitting including in Poland and all the way in South America - Argentina! Paula has previous experience in dog training Urban Search and Rescue dogs with former dog unit manager in Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service - including Ace a Labrador trained to look for survivors in disasters and Eric, another Labrador trained for fire investigation detection dog. Lukasz has experience with Greater Manchester Police Tactical Dog Unit as his Labrador was being trained for detection! Another Important thing is that we are also extremely flexible! As a domestic couple, we structure our days around providing attentive, in-home care, morning walks, regular feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because we work together, pets receive calm, reliable, and personalized care rather than being left alone for long periods. We provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and preferences. In our home or a pet owner’s home, we follow detailed care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. We live in a semi-detached house and have a fully fenced and safe back garden, however we do prioritise talking the pet out for a nice long walk where they can get a proper exercise! We also provide regular photos and notes to make sure the pet parents are kept regularly updated. We have Enhanced DBS and been Police vetted.

“Great cat sitter! Took excellent care of both my cats, keeping him/ her happy and relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable and attentive sitter!””

About: Hi, I’m Priya! I live with my 7 year old cockapoo Buddy. I work from home during the week and therefore, can look after Buddy, and your dog, throughout the day, ensuring they gets the walks and love that they need.

I also live near fields/nice walking routes so can make sure they’re well exercised. I’m used to looking after friend’s dogs so have experience of looking after multiple dogs and it’s something I love doing! Please reach out if you’re interested or have any other questions! I work from home so your dog would not be left alone. I have a flexible schedule so get out during the day for a 1 hour walk with Buddy which I could take your dog on too My home is very dog friendly and safe. Dogs are allowed on furniture (if permitted by the owner), I have plenty of toys and a secure fenced garden
