James is excellent. He made us feel confident being away from the dogs and he was great at keeping us updated on how things were going. The dogs seemed very happy and relaxed around both James & Sara. We would definitely book with him again!

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.

About: I've 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 is very professional yet very easy to talk to, I was provided updates constantly throughout the day to show why my beautiful pup was up to and he had the best time. She provided cuddles, walks and lots of play. I would highly recomend Alix to look after your dogs, im so glad I found her. Alix also went that extra mile to accommodate my work schedule aswell!

Absolutely could not recommend Ellie enough! Needed a sitter last minute and Ellie was really quick to respond and organise a visit at short notice. Ellie was amazing with Beans, she kept in touch with regular updates and I came back to a very happy cat and a spotless house. She’s kind, polite, professional, reliable, experienced, knowledgable and clearly cares about what she does. I’ve used Ellie numerous times now and she’s never let me down

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something that has been part of my life for over 12 years. I truly love building connections with the pets I care for and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and reptiles, each with their own unique personalities and needs. From playful, high-energy pups to independent cats and reptiles requiring attentive habitat care, I take the time to understand what makes each animal feel secure and happy. I know how important routines are, and I do my best to keep everything consistent so your pet feels at ease. I offer house sitting and drop-in visits because I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment. Whether it’s keeping up with daily walks, playtime, feedings, litter box cleaning, or carefully monitoring a reptile’s temperature and humidity, I handle every detail with care and responsibility. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I treat every home with respect and every animal like they’re my own. You can expect thoughtful updates, photos, and open communication so you always feel connected and reassured. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet who felt loved the entire time you were away. 🐾 I’m available full-time because I work for myself, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to prioritize pet care and adjust my day around your pet’s specific needs. I’m available for: House Sitting – Weekdays & Weekends Drop-In Visits – Morning, Midday, Evening Last-Minute Bookings (when available) Holiday Care Because I create my own work schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, stick closely to your pet’s routine, and accommodate special timing requests whenever possible. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 Caring for pets in their own home is something I truly value because it allows them to stay comfortable in a familiar, stress-free environment. When I’m house sitting or doing drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and quiet cuddle time. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being to ensure they’re happy and healthy while you’re away. I also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. My goal is for you to return to a relaxed pet who felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time

Holly and Ryan are absolutely amazing! They looked after our two dogs (both with their own little problems) and they made them both so comfortable and at ease while we were away! They kept us updated regularly and we came home to two happy pups who were sad to see them leave ❤️ Could not recommend highly enough.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently help care for my family’s two dogs, including daily walks, feeding, and general care. I also have experience looking after multiple dogs at once, having stayed at my sister’s home to care for her four Pomeranians while she was away. I’m confident handling different dog personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care fits really well into my routine right now as I’ve recently finished work and have a flexible schedule before starting university. I’m available throughout the week and weekends for walks, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I’m active and reliable, so I’ll make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care I usually take dogs on walks with my own dogs, either around local parks or Pennington Flash, and sometimes let them run around and chill in a big garden. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. The main thing is keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while they’re with me.

About: I have been raised with dogs since the childhood - and I regularly look after friends dogs, and I’m even ventured into cat sitting as my best friend recently got a cat! I’m reliable - love the outdoors so can take them for nice long walks and happy to care for dogs of any age/size or breed! I work from home 2-3 days a week and tend to spend quiet weekends at home therefore I have plenty of time to be at home with animals, and I would not look after them if I were to be away from home for a long period of time. I only work 15 minutes from home so would always be available if needed, and I spend my days going for long walks when I can I have a fenced and secure garden - and a well maintained and clean home. I do not have any pets currently so there would be no worries as to them having to interact with other animals - just myself and my partner!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bolton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Bolton on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,652 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bolton. Enter your postcode 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:

  • Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Bolton walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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.

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 .

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 Bolton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
