About: I have both had dogs since our childhood, and currently have two friendly cocker spaniels. All my dog experience has been from pups, I even acted as midwife for my next door neighbours bitch giving birth 3 years ago! My location has a large country park at the end of the street, and woodland behind me which I manage as a volunteer warden. I have a dog friendly rear garden and my cockers love drinking from the barrel water feature. I have very tolerant pets and they happily engage with other visiting dogs,and a previous neighbours cat. I have an engaging daily routine for them, so much so I'm convinced my dogs can tell the time, when their next activity is due. I am a stay at home foster-dad, and my wife works, sometimes from home. I volunteer in my local community woodlands, and other institutions throughout the day but I estimate our dogs are not at home for more than 3 hours alone. Apart from a clean and secure rear garden, my home is partitioned in such a way that a scared visitor could have seclusion if required. I do have a crate in the kitchen, and my dogs use it for privacy/ sleep ( door open). If your dog would be anxious at night, then I can keep my dogs upstairs with me or they can remain in the kitchen to keep their visitor company. Whichever works.
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: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m 28 and have hands on experience raising and training my own two dogs from just 7 weeks old, which has given me a strong understanding of puppy development, routines, and positive reinforcement training. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency, to older dogs who may need a gentler, more patient approach. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, sticking to routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away. Because I’m a dog owner myself, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or just some extra cuddles. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy and stress-free, and to give you complete peace of mind. work shift patterns, which actually allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to pet care. I only accept bookings when I’m off work, so I can give your dog my full attention throughout the day no distractions or time constraints. I’m available on weekdays and every other weekend, making me a flexible option for both regular care and occasional bookings. During my time with your pet, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship, while sticking closely to their usual routine. Because I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, you can feel confident they’ll be my top priority while they’re with me. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your dog’s usual routine closely, feeding times, walks, exercise, and any training or house rules you have in place so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and make sure it’s kept clean and just as you left it. I spend quality time with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely. With my experience raising and training dogs from a young age, I’m confident reinforcing good behaviour, sticking to routines, and adapting to each dog’s needs whether that’s an energetic puppy or a more relaxed senior dog. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“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”


“Eleanor was an excellent choice. My cat was well looked after. I was provided with regular feedback and photos. Wouldn't hesitate to use again and to recommend to others. Eleanor is an obvious and cring animal lover.”

“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!”

About: Experienced & Reliable Dog Lover Offering Walks, Daycare & Boarding in Bolton and Birmingham 🐾 ⸻ About Me Hi, I’m Angie, a lifelong dog owner and experienced dog carer who understands just how important it is to know your dog is in safe and capable hands. I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, patience and love that I gave my own dog. Over many years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities and care needs. I grew up around large, energetic dogs – particularly Dalmatians – so I’m very comfortable handling bigger, more boisterous dogs who need plenty of exercise, structure and engagement. My own dog, Chapi, was a much-loved English Bulldog who sadly passed away last year. Caring for him brought so much joy to my life and gave me valuable experience in understanding dogs’ routines, health needs and individual personalities. Over the past year I have also been a regular sitter for a Bichon Frise called Woody, which gave me experience caring for a much smaller and more sensitive breed. Looking after dogs with very different temperaments – from confident, energetic larger breeds to smaller dogs who benefit from a calmer and more reassuring approach – has given me a well-rounded understanding of how to adapt my care to suit each dog. Spending time with dogs has always been an important part of my life, and I’m now looking forward to welcoming more dogs into my routine and giving them the same care, attention and companionship that I gave Chapi. ⸻ Experience & Care Through caring for my own dog as well as regularly looking after others, I have experience supporting dogs with different personalities, energy levels and care requirements. Both Chapi and Woody had more complex care needs, including medication, separation anxiety and specific routines, which means I’m comfortable with: • Administering medication when required • Following detailed feeding and care routines • Supporting older dogs or those with health considerations • Providing calm, patient care for dogs who may be nervous or shy I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to learn their routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. ⸻ Services I Offer I currently offer: 🐾 Dog Walking 🐾 Doggy Daycare 🐾 Dog Boarding I regularly work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship to dogs in my care during the day. I’m also an active person, so dogs will enjoy regular walks, stimulation and time outdoors. I have my own car, which makes me reliable and flexible, and I’m also available for ad-hoc and weekend care when needed. Home Environment I live in a safe, dog-friendly home with a secure garden, and we are also very close to several lovely parks and walking routes which are perfect for regular walks and exercise. My home is currently undergoing some renovation work, so it’s not the most polished space at the moment, but it is still a calm, safe and comfortable environment for dogs. Dogs who have stayed with me – including my own dog CHAPI and the dogs I regularly care for – have always settled in very happily. What matters most to me is that dogs in my care feel secure, relaxed and well looked after, with plenty of attention, companionship and time outdoors. ⸻ Reliability & Safety Your dog’s wellbeing and safety will always be my top priority. I’m dependable, organised and respectful of both your home and your dog’s established routine. I’m always happy to follow any training guidance or instructions you provide so that your dog’s care remains consistent. ⸻ Meet & Greets I always arrange a meet and greet before accepting any booking. This is really important to me because it allows me to make sure your dog feels comfortable with me, while also giving me the opportunity to fully understand their routine, personality and any specific care requirements. It also gives you the chance to ask questions and feel confident that your dog will be happy and well looked after.
About: A loving home-from-home dog-sitting home with two playful miniature dachshunds who love making new friends. Your dog will be cared for as one of our own, with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m currently working a small part time job following maternity leave, which means I’m home alot of the time and able to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship alongside my own two dogs. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced back garden for safe outdoor time, and two lovely miniature dachshunds who enjoy having company. We go on regular walks around the cemetery and enjoy trips to the park, with plenty of playtime, routine, and lots of cuddles included free of charge.
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
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! ❤️🐱🐾”

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.
“Amazing cat sitter! I have an anxious cat Twix who I always worry about leaving. I didn’t have to worry, he came out for strokes and to play. I will definitely come to you again! Thank you so much! Even Flash who is normally okay with visitors was shy, but warmed up too!”

About: I've grown up loving all animals! I used to own cockatiels. I have owned cats and more recently owned a border collie. I also adore my sisters dogs. I am a student children’s nurse at university, the days I’m in university I can do visits before and after and the days I'm not in university I am free to spend more time with your loved ones! I am free at weekends too! Looking to do this along side my university schedule! I have a garden with high walls and 3 cats in the house who are 11, 9 and 5. I can look after some pets at my house, but I believe pets are better suited where they're more comfortable, so I can also look after your pets in your own home too!
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 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!
“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.”

Lucy has been absolutely fantastic! I’ve been hesitant to leave the cats but my mind was immediately put at ease the moment we met Lucy. Our cats absolutely loved her, and they don’t like many people. Lucy sent me daily pictures and updates, which I loved! Lucy is so lovely and did everything the way we asked, making sure that the cats routine stayed the same. I cannot recommend Lucy enough, she will be our go-to cat sitter every time for sure! Thank you so much Lucy!!
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!!

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. ❤️

Yes. There are up to 4,558 pet sitters offering care in and around Bolton. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
