About: Hi everyone! I’m available for pet sitting in the area. I have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I’m reliable, friendly, and happy to adapt to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. If you need someone you can trust, feel free to message me. We can easily agree on timing and price 🙂 Pet care is a regular part of my routine. I plan my days around visits, walks, and feeding times, making sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care without feeling rushed. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them attention based on their personality. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment or mine.
“Vanessa stayed in my house whilst I was away for a week. She kept us updated with videos and msgs. She had plans for a day out in the week which we knew about. As Ted hadn’t been left alone all day before, and the weather was hot, she kindly cut her day short to make sure he was ok. We were very grateful for her kindness doing that and showed us how much she cared for Ted. It was lovely to see Ted happy and settled with her. Vanessa looked after him so well and I know he will miss her. We came home to a clean and tidy house, and a very content dog. Thankyou Vanessa.”
“Callum is a polite, trustworthy and reliable person, and we will definitely be using him again. Unfortunately we were let down last minute, and Callum stepped in to lok after out two babies whilst we stayed away for the evening and did a brilliant job. One of our babies is nervous around new people, especially men, Callum was brilliant with him, made him feel relaxed and when we got home both were happy. I'd highly recommend Callum.”
“Michaela was absolutely amazing with Bean, cannot recommend her enough. She spent time with her, took her out on walks and sent loads of pictures throughout the day. We will definitely be using her in the future! x”
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments through family, friends and my own dog, Poppy. I work from home and can offer lots of attention, company, walks and a calm environment where dogs feel safe and settled. Poppy is a friendly and sociable Cockapoo who is used to being around children and other dogs, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel comfortable, relaxed and cared for like part of the family. I’m also completing my canine first aid training and DBS checks to give owners extra peace of mind. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own, with regular updates, photos and lots of love and attention 💛 I work flexibly from home, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention, company and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. Walks are already part of my daily routine with my Cockapoo, Poppy, so your dog will enjoy lots of care, playtime and companionship in a calm home environment. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and boarding throughout the week and weekends. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first. I have a clean, calm and dog-friendly home with plenty of space to relax, play and settle in comfortably. Poppy is very friendly and used to being around other dogs, children and visitors, so I understand the importance of making pets feel safe and at home. I’m currently completing my DBS checks and canine first aid training, and I’ll always provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind 💛
“Sophie was brilliant! She was on time kept the house very nest and tidy and sent loads of pictures throughout the day! My dog looked like he had a wonderful time and I will 100% be booking her again!”
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.
“Alix was brilliant looking after Luna for us for a week whilst we were away . She kept us updated with how Luna was doing and looked after our home leaving everywhere clean and tidy . Luna obviously had a lovely time”
“Amy was fab watching both my dogs. She did a meet and greet beforehand, was really respectful and prepared - which put me at ease! During the evening stay, Amy kept me updated and my dogs were relaxed with her. I’d happily use Amy again!”
About: Hi! I’m 28 years old and have grown up with dogs my whole life, so being around them feels completely natural to me. I absolutely love dogs—they really are the best companions, and I enjoy spending time walking, playing, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and personality. I also have experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes at Manchester dog home, in which I used to volunteer through work. I currently work full time Monday to Friday mainly 8:30-5, but can be flexible (7:30-4) etc. I work from home on Monday and Friday. Flexible times over lunch that can range from 1-2 hours dependant on hours worked etc. Not looking to provide pet sitting due to the dog we own not being the best around dogs coming into the house. However we look after her well (juniper - staff) and take on regular walks
“I am So pleased I found Mya to look after Toby. When Mya came for her "meet and greet" I could tell at once that she is a warm, affectionate person , with a real affinity for animals. I felt totally at ease leaving Mya to care for Toby, and to have her living in my home. On my return, Toby looked wonderful. His coat shone, and he was relaxed at at ease. ( My house was also very tidy,. Thank you Mya) I would not hesitate to use Mya as a cat/house sitter again. I thoroughly recommend her. Toby loved Mya too. Her brought her six mice during her stay.”
“Lil was excellent with Raven. She is very knowledgeable about dog behaviour and make Raven who is always a bit shy very comfortable. Raven looked comfortable and very chilled and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Lil.”
“I can’t recommend Holly enough! She was so calm and confident when our dog wasn’t, and sent lots of reassurance of him once he calmed down ☺️ She is accommodating and friendly and your pets will be in safe hands ☺️”
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
About: I have helped care for my daughters little dog for four years, since he was a puppy. I have fed, walked and helped to bathe him. I have also had 20 yrs. experience of caring for cats as used to have 2 of my own. I am experienced in giving medication to cats. Pet care would fit easily into my schedule as I am currently retired have plenty of free time and am available most days and times including weekends and most bank holidays I have a fenced garden in my own home, but whether in my own home or the pet owners home I would never let them out of my sight.
About: I have a genuine passion for dogs and providing them with the care, attention, and compassion they deserve. As a physiotherapist, I bring a strong understanding of wellbeing, patience, and attentive care into everything I do displays qualities that naturally extend to looking after animals. I’m also planning to further my studies in animal physiotherapy, which reflects my long term commitment to working closely with and supporting animals. I regularly look after dogs for friends and family, so I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. I enjoy keeping fit and active, which means I’m always happy to provide walks, playtime, and plenty of engagement to keep dogs happy and healthy. I work from home, giving me a high level of flexibility throughout the day to provide consistent care and attention. I’m able to use my days off during the week as well as weekends to offer reliable and dedicated services. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet very seriously and always aim to create a safe, loving, and enriching environment for them. I am currently working flexi - work from home as a consultant physiotherapist this in turn gives me plenty of time throughout the week/weekend to give your pet my undivided attention. I live in a secure top floor flat with plenty of out door space close by. No other animals live at the property so if your pet is quite shy or does not get on with others this will be no problem at all. I will be able to provide plenty outdoor time, regular checks and unlimited cuddles (If that’s what they like).
“Luc was amazing, dropped his plans last minute to help us out whilst mum was in hospital, Ossi loved him & wasn't happy when he left which proves what a great guy he is, we will definitely use your services again. Thank so much Luc”
“Lauren stepped in with barely any notice to look after my kittens, even offered a daycare service instead of multiple drop ins as this was cheaper. After getting back home they can barely keep their eyes open to come and greet me so I know they’ve had a fun filled day of playing. Would absolutely book again, thanks again for your help!x”

Bolton pet owners share their Rover experiences
Caitlin house sat our two French Bulldogs over February half-term, our 8year old blind Ralph, and 10month old puppy, Benji. She was fabulous. We had a couple of settling in sessions beforehand and walks, but the dogs loved her from the start. She was incredibly approachable, seeking to learn all of their habits so she could match their homelife as much as possible. This gave us a lot of confidence, especially as we haven't left Ralph since his eyes were removed 18months ago. Ralph settled easily with her, bizarrely it was Benji the puppy who cried a bit. Caitlin told us this straight away and followed our suggestions which meant this wasn't repeated the following night. She kept is fully informed as to how they were getting on, sent us plenty of pictures, and we were getting quite jealous of how easily we had been replaced as they snuggled up to her!! Caitlin also looked after our axolotl Mo, feeding her worms- not for the squeamish, but no issue to Caitlin! Our house was spotless when we got back too!! Wr would happily recommend Caitlin to anyone, and will definitely be using her again! Thanks so much Caitlin!
Alisha was fantastic! Really considerate and professional, very attentive to the needs to our two nervous and reactive dogs, they were even cuddled up with her! Very respectful of the house and space she was in and dealt really well with the meds they need as well! 100% will be booking again, couldn't recommend her enough!
Austeja and Maizon house sat our 2 dogs Roxy and Marley over 11 days and they where amazing. The dogs where walked and fed everyday and never left alone, my house was left very tidy and they had even left little gifts for me and my daughter, and toys for the dogs which I thought was so kind of them. I would definitly recommend them and will 100% be asking them to dogsit again in the future. Thankyou both xx
