About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and now own a very mischievous husky who can be a bit of a handful! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and have a vast range of experience with big and strong dogs. I’ve dealt with a range of undesirable behaviours such as resource guarding, pulling, reactivity and over excitement. I have also had experience in taking part in Kennel Club dog training classes. I’m super interested in dog training and as well as exercising your pup, I love keeping their brains engaged with a bit of training too! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits at weekends and during school holidays. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and will always confirm availability before accepting a booking. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, temperament, and any specific needs before starting care. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels, including strong or high-energy breeds, and I always use secure leads and harnesses as instructed. For walks, I stick to safe, familiar routes and avoid situations that could cause stress or overwhelm. For drop-in visits, I ensure your dog is settled, comfortable, and cared for exactly as requested.
“Toni was excellent with our two cats and dog, even the naughty cat who learnt how to break in to the food cupboard while we were away! Sent photo updates everyday and was very clean. Ensured my old dog received her medicine and even changed the schedule a bit when necessary, 10/10! Highly recommend if you need a reliable sitter!”
“Cannot recommend Charlotte more!! Zara loves her and probably the visits are the highlight of her week. Charlotte is patient and understanding of Zara’s need and keeps us updated with regular pictures throughout.”
“I met Georgia before our booking, and I knew straight away that I had nothing to worry about. Georgia is polite and friendly, and I felt comfortable leaving Matilda in her care. Georgia kept me updated with videos and photographs, and I came home to a happy cat. I will definitely book again!”
About: I've grown up with pets all of my life and my wife and I have had several dogs and cats during our 30 years together. I've often been called upon to look after my family and friends cats and dogs, and love spending time with them, and I'm hoping I can do the same for you. Every pet has its own personality and that's part of the joy of getting to meet and getting to know them. I have spare time when I hope to be spending time meeting new dog and cat friends, looking after them, letting them play and going for walks. It's important, I believe, that a pet is given time to get to know and build trust in me. It's also important that they get those all important cuddles and play. I like to go on walks that are familiar to your dog and, if thought ok by the you, a few new walks too. I always consider the weather temperatures when caring for any pet, whether it is too hot or very cold and wet. Dogs and cats like attention, and that is what I would give them.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since the age of 12, giving me over 31 years of hands-on experience. Growing up with Shih Tzus and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, I learned early on how to handle different temperaments and grooming needs. Currently, I am a proud owner of a Frenchie, so I am very well-versed in the specific care required for brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds, including monitoring their breathing and heat regulation. Whether it's high-energy play or patient senior care, I treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own." I currently work part-time, which allows me to make pet care a top priority. My schedule is very flexible; I am available for overnight boarding on weekends and can provide plenty of attention on weekdays after 2 pm. Because I work limited hours, your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent walks, potty breaks, and playtime. Safety is my main concern. I have a secure, fenced-in garden where dogs can play safely. I own two friendly dogs who love making new friends, but I am also experienced in using crates or separate rooms if a guest dog needs their own space to decompress. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment and always follow your specific feeding and emergency protocols to the letter.
“Cats were fed and given plenty of attention on each visit. With lots of photos sent each day of them. On return house was in a clean and tidy state. Everything was great I would book Jeanette again ”
“Maryana dropped in on my cat a couple of times for me whilst I was way for a long weekend. She communicated with me really well both before and during, and looked after my cat very well. She followed all instructions I had left, and sent me pictures which was great, as I have always been a little worried about my cat in the past when left in a cattery. It was good to see her getting a fuss and some play. When I got back, my cat was really relaxed. I am planning on booking Maryana again next time I go away if she's available- thank you!”
About: Since I was young, I have been surrounded by a variety of different animals. In my household, we always had cats, and family and friends often had dogs and other animals that we would visit and sometimes sit for. I've always enjoyed the presence of animals and have always been drawn to them. Currently, I have all the free time in the world, so please drop me a message and let me know what you need and I will accommodate as best as possible! I am unable to safely and comfortably allow furry friends into my own home, so I will only be able to visit or stay at your own home in addition to dog walking. I am very attentive and will listen to instructions given on how to best provide care for your pet.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a much-loved family dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need every day. Working from home means I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of affection throughout the day. I know every pet is different, so I’ll always follow your routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and settled. I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home, which means I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. I’m flexible with drop-offs and collections where possible and can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding into my daily routine. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will be treated like one of my own. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet’s wellbeing always comes first. As I work from home, I’ll be able to supervise them throughout the day, stick to their usual routine, and give them lots of attention. I’ll follow all of your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Small back garden but fenced and secure
“Megan was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She sent so many photos and videos to keep us updated. Suni was so happy with her company and even gave her cuddles (he's not usually a cuddly cat)! 100% recommend. She is so warm and trustworthy. We hope to hire her for any future holidays x”
“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 🐈⬛”

“Alex is very patient and kind with our excitable dog, and he settled very quickly with her. She's also been super responsive to any messages, and been able to do all the dates we've needed, which is great for our doggo, as he only needs to get used to one new person visiting.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Bury
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!
Rizwana is a 6 stars out of 5! She went above and beyond every single day to make our cat Momo feel comfortable. She bonded with her instantly, went out of her way to respect her routine, and spent quality time with her, for play and cuddles. She put our minds at ease and we were able to fully enjoy our time away. Thank you so so so much!
Jaye was a pleasure to work with and updated us on the two visits a day with pictures. She was lovely with my dog Alice, even though she is having some health difficulties at the moment. Did a meet and greet the day before we left and was totally fine when I had to change the time, and flexible with other times as well. Perfect to deal with and will definitely book her again!
We cannot recommend Zuzanna highly enough! She looked after our three cats — Lola, Archie and Theo — while we were away on holiday, and she was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond in every way, and we came home to three happy, settled cats which says it all really. Zuzanna is one of the very few people we genuinely trust with our cats, and she has more than earned that trust. It's so rare to find someone who treats your pets with the same care and love you would give them yourself, but that's exactly what she does. If you're looking for a cat sitter who is reliable, warm, and truly goes the extra mile, look no further. We will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much, Zuzanna! 🐱🐱🐱
I really can't speak highly enough of Megan! Mimi is quite a nervous cat and is wary of new people. I didn't need to worry, as Megan was so patient with her and let Mimi come to her in her own time and get to know her. Megan is a real cat lover, and Mimi absolutely loved her too! While I was away Megan sent lots of pictures and videos of Mimi playing. They looked like they were having a great time and this really set my mind at ease. As soon as I met Megan I knew that Mimi would be in good hands. I would 100% recommend her, and I will definitely be booking her again.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
