“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 I had such a great experience with Alexandria! She was incredibly informative and taught me things about my puppy that I didn’t even know. Her knowledge and confidence really put me at ease. She was amazing with my dog , so patient, caring, and attentive. While I was out, she kept me constantly updated with pictures and messages, which I really appreciated. It made me feel like my pup was in the best hands. Highly recommend Alexandria to anyone looking for someone reliable and truly passionate about animals!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Grace . She is caring , conscientious , responsible , level headed and immediately gained a rapport with our cat. It was quite a major thing for me to hire a cat sitter , but after having Grace sit, I wish I had done it years ago. Previously we have used high end kennels but our cat is getting old and always took time to settle back home again. On returning home this time we found our cat completely chilled and content . Grace had kept us up to date with updates and photos while we were away , and had given our cat all the love and attention she needed. She clearly loved her time with Grace. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Grace for sitting to anyone.”
“Just back from a 5-day break and my dog and cat look so happy and well looked after that it doesn't seem we've been away! Jade sent loads of pics and updates as well Deffo recommend and will be using her services again 😚”
“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: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats my whole life, so being around animals has always just been part of me. My family have always had dogs, big and small, so I’m really comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also grown up with cats, including different breeds, so I understand how varied their needs and temperaments can be too. Alongside my own pets, and families pets, I’ve also done dog and cat sitting for a family friend, which included giving insulin injections to their diabetic dog and caring for their senior cat. That experience really built my confidence in handling more complex needs, and showed me how important it is to be calm, patient, and attentive when animals rely on you. For me, it’s never just about “pet sitting”. I know they’re your baby, and making sure they feel safe, settled, and properly cared for while you’re away is my priority. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving medication, going on walks, or just spending time with them so they feel comfortable, I’ll treat them with the same level of care and attention I give in my job and to my own pets, so you can feel completely at ease knowing they’re in safe hands. i currently work in a children’s home so i am available before and after work, also available at the weekends to give your babies lots of love and care. I am unable to offer having pets in my home due to having pets of my own however, i am flexible and willing to cater to yours and your pets routine in their home.
“We had never left Tilly with anyone who was not family before and had a limited period to find a siiter (7 days) but the first time we met Jennifer we were immediately reassured. Whilst away we were updated daily via photos and videos which showed a happy contented dog- in fact Tilly looked more contented with Jennifer than with us!!! We came back to a clean and tidy house but more importantly a perfectly healthy and happy dog. We would not hesitate in using Jennifer again- in fact we are already planning trips away working around Jennifer and would highly recommend her.”

“Zuzanna looked after Luna and Maybellene while we were away for Christmas. She came to meet us all beforehand and instantly put us at ease with her warm manner and obvious love and care for animals! The girls took to her straight away and were clearly happy and relaxed in her company. Zuzanna kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout our time away and when Luna was taken ill on one of the days was sure to update us immediately and reassure us of her progress. I know Luna really enjoyed all the lovely walks and cuddles she got and we truly appreciated knowing our girls and house were being well looked after. Zuzanna was the perfect guest leaving everything exactly as found and we would be more than happy to use her services again in the future. Thanks so much! ❤️”

About: I’ve looked after my own dog since a puppy he’s now nine. I’ve also looked after other people’s dogs that have varied in age from puppies to senior. I’m currently on my summer holidays after finishing my A-levels. So I’m available most of the time. This can help those who need support with their pets while at work I have a big fenced garden and a dog of my own. The house is located away from the road which can help with safety. I live near the jumbles reservoir which is great for longer walks.
About: I am a final-year Occupational Therapy student. I owned my pet call pigpig for 3 years already, I have created an Instagram account for him “mr_pig_pig” for daily record, is public account and you are welcome to know more about me and him xx. I do really love cat and just found this job which can let me spend more time with other lovely cat. I think I will really enjoy spending time with them. I am currently finishing my degree and waiting for my graduation ceremony. I am therefore flexible with my schedule and have plenty of time to play with dogs and cats. I provide attentive, safe, and reliable care for pets. I always prioritise the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication requirements, and any specific behavioural needs or preferences. I take time to build trust with each pet by being calm, patient, and consistent, helping them feel secure in my care. In the home environment, I ensure the space is safe and free from hazards, and I maintain a clean and comfortable setting. I also make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations and are given plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection according to their needs. I understand the importance of respecting the owner’s home and privacy, so I always act responsibly, keep the environment tidy, and communicate regularly with updates for reassurance.

“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!”
“Layla was lovely and Raven loved her. She came on time and took her for a walk. Fantastic dog sitter! Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed the day. Great communication and very trustworthy. Highly recommend!”

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 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
“We used Mollie for several introductions with our dogs, and it was clear from the start that both our dogs loved Mollie and Hayden. We have just come back from our first 3 night trip away and returned to very happy dogs, and a lovely clean house, it was brilliant. We honestly could not be happier with the service they provided, we already have them booked for a week in June and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mollie and Hayden to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”

This is our third long holiday sitting with Holly (there have been other shorter ones) and I don't know what we would do without her. We always know that they are in the safest hands - Holly loves them like they are her own, despite their funny ways. She sends loads of updates so we can see how happy and settled they are. They are always so happy to see her arrive and attach themselves to her immediately. We would not be comfortable leaving them with anyone else.
Another fantastic booking with Phil, always leaves the house spotless and I have no worries at all leaving Rory with him. Phil takes the time to get to know your dog and routines and I know Rory will always be well looked after. Keeps you updated on how they are getting on and really puts your mind at ease!
Megan was fantastic with Rudy when we went away for a weekend, Rudy loved her. We were regularly updated with pictures and felt completely confident that she was in good hands! Would highly recommend Megan and will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we go away :)
Zu was amazing! She’s such a friendly person and you can tell she just loves all dogs ❤️ she looked after buzz so well and he is such a high energy dog but nothing was too much for her. She made sure he was walked lots and given loads of love and cuddles. She sent multiple updates a day so we had compete peace of mind as she left our house completely spotless! Would absolutely recommend her and use her again when we need a dog and house sitter for buzz!
Anthony helped us out at short notice with Coco. He followed all instructions and kept in touch with videos and photos. You could see she was really happy and really loved spending time with him and was sad to see him leave. He is the best sitter we have ever had and will definitely be using him again. Thanks for your help X

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 Bury 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 Bury 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. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
