House Sitting Manchester

“Lucy was a wonderful sitter for our two frenchies. They both need walking separately as one of them is reactive, and she was more than happy to accommodate their needs. She gave us regular updates and left the house clean and tidy for when we got back. I highly recommend Lucy to anyone needing a sitter!”

“Martha was an absolute gem, we’ve never left Neville before so we’re a bit apprehensive but Martha put our minds at ease. Her love for animals shone through and it was very easy for us to leave Neville with her. Thank you so much Martha, we hope you enjoyed the last couple of days as much as Neville has. Xx”

“Jess is absolutely wonderful. The dogs were so happy with her and had a great time. Jess is reliable, trustworthy and kind and I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

About: I have been a devoted pet lover from a young age, growing up with two dogs — a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier — which gave me a deep understanding of canine behaviour and needs. I have also been a cat owner since 2023, caring for two beautiful cats, a Ragdoll and a Golden British Shorthair. This experience has taught me to understand different pet personalities and provide attentive, loving care. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I take pride in keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. As a full-time pet sitter, I am available 7 days a week with no other work or study commitments. Your pet will receive my complete attention throughout the day. I will follow their usual feeding schedule, play with them regularly, and ensure they feel comfortable and settled in their own home environment. I provide care exclusively in your own home, which means your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment with all their favourite toys, bedding and routines. I treat every pet as my own, with the same love and attention I give to my two cats. I will keep all doors and windows secure, follow any specific instructions you leave, and send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

“Gabrielle is great! She’s so prompt at communicating, we get lots of messages and photos when we are out and costi is always so excited to see her. She’s now our go-to sitter 😊”

“Elizabeth was absolutely fabulous. It was our first time leaving out cats since adopting our youngest and we were anxious parents, but Elizabeth really responded to their needs as individuals, and sent us regular pictures and videos that demonstrated just how well they were being looked after. We arrived home to find the house absolutely spotless and two very happy cats!”

“Imogen did such a great job sitting for our dog, Sandy. She came for a meet and greet beforehand, communication was great throughout, and we knew Sandy was being really well looked after. Sandy can sometimes be a little nervous with new people, but she was happy and comfortable around Imogen straight away. Highly recommend!”

“Oliver did a great job looking after my Labrador Monte for a whole day. We met for a meet and greet and Monte took an instant liking to Oliver, who’s clearly very fond of dogs and used to be around and take care of them. I came back to a very happy and relaxed dog. Will definitely ask Oliver to look after Monte again!”

About: I've spent most of my life looking after dogs and have grown up with 8 family dogs, including Toy and Miniature Poodles, French Bulldogs and a Cocker Spaniel. They've all had their own personalities and needs, so I'm used to adapting my care to suit each dog. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs, as well as dogs that are a little nervous or reactive. I understand that every dog is different, and I'm always patient, calm and happy to let them get to know me at their own pace. I'm also confident giving medication when needed, including tablets, ear drops, eye drops, ointments and insulin injections, always following the owner's instructions carefully. As well as caring for my own family dogs, I regularly dog sit for my sister's dogs and have completed a 7-day house and dog sit for a friend while they were on holiday. I've also cat sat for friends several times, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playing with them and making sure they had plenty of company. My professional background is in medical laboratories, where I've worked as a laboratory manager and senior scientist. Those roles required a high level of responsibility, attention to detail and following procedures carefully—qualities that I also bring to caring for pets. Although I'm new to Rover, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I'll treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I currently on a career break, so I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, and I can work around each pet's usual routine to help keep their day as normal and comfortable as possible. I understand that consistency is important for pets, so I always make sure to follow their usual feeding times, exercise routines and any specific instructions provided by their owner. Alongside my love of animals, my professional background is in medical laboratories, where I've worked as a Laboratory Manager and Senior Scientist. My career has taught me to be organised, dependable and highly attentive to detail—qualities that are equally important when caring for someone's beloved pet. Whether it's following feeding schedules, administering medication according to instructions or noticing changes in behaviour, I always take my responsibilities seriously. I am organised, reliable and happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for while you are away. The safety and wellbeing of every pet I look after is my top priority. Before caring for a pet, I like to understand their personality, routine, likes, dislikes and any special requirements so I can provide care that suits them as an individual. When visiting a pet owner's home, I will treat their home with the same respect I would expect for my own. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication and any other routines, while making sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. Having grown up with eight family dogs and cared for dogs and cats for friends, I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I am comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and nervous or reactive dogs, and I always take a calm and patient approach to building trust. I also have experience administering medication, including tablets, ear drops, eye drops, ointments and insulin injections, when required and following the owner's guidance carefully.

“Zara did a great job looking after Kiki, she communicated well before and after the sit and Kiki was clearly very happy with her. I would recommend Zara as a pet-sitter!”

About: Having grown up with animals my whole life, I love spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with two cats and I currently live with my own chatty kitten, so I’m more than comfortable with them and practically fluent. I also have a lovely Border Collie, so I know how important it is to give energetic dogs the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Additionally, I have 4 years of experience walking with borrow my doggy. Thanks for your consideration:) Pet care currently fits perfectly into my daily routine, especially as a recent graduate with a flexible schedule and no major commitments right now. Available for anything from quick walks to overnight stays:) While I’m unable to bring any pets back to my own home due to my cat, I’m more than happy to look after yours in the comfort of their own environment. Of course, I’m fully respectful of your home and will always leave it as I found it, whilst prioritising the safety and happiness of your pet.

“Hannah provides an excellent dog sitting and walking service. Her care and consideration for my Charlie is first class.”

“We couldn’t recommend Beth more, she was very flexible and able to look after Ralph at short notice. She made sure she understood Ralph’s routine, fit her schedule around our plans, and sent us regular updates throughout the weekend. Most importantly, Ralph definitely loved having Beth and George here! She’s such a natural with dogs, she came to meet Ralph in advance of sitting and he loved her instantly. We’ll 100% be asking Beth to dogsit Ralph again!”

About: Hi! I’m Laura 😊 I’ve always loved dogs and currently have a French Bulldog called Gus, who keeps me on my toes! Looking after him has taught me so much, from daily walks and playtime to understanding different behaviours and making sure he’s happy, healthy and well cared for. We have lots of family and friends with dogs (of various breeds) and I have looked after many of them over the years. I’m confident caring for different breeds. I have plenty of experience with brachycephalic breeds (like French Bulldogs) and I’m more than happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine, training and any instructions you leave so they feel comfortable and settled. I’m a teacher, so one of the best things about my job is that I have all the school holidays free, which means I have lots of time to give your pets the attention and company they deserve while you’re away. I can also be available on some weekends and evenings. I live with my boyfriend too, which means extra love for your pup 😊 I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, and I’d treat your dog just like my own. I’ll make sure they have lots of love, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe hands! As a teacher, I have all school holidays free, which means I can completely work around your dog’s usual routine during those times. Whether they need early morning walks, lunchtime visits or evening cuddles, I’m happy to fit around what works best for them. During term time, I’m available on evenings and weekends for walks, drop-in visits and pet care. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and will only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I live in a ground-floor flat with a small private terrace, so dogs still have access to fresh air and a safe outdoor space for toilet breaks. My own French Bulldog, Gus, is used to regular walks throughout the day (he prefers not to use the terrace for toilet breaks!) and lots of attention at home. For dogs staying in my home, I’d need to know they are comfortable around other dogs, as Gus is very friendly and playful and still thinks he’s a puppy! Having said that, he will listen when a dog tells him off. I’d always arrange a meet and greet first to make sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. I’m also happy to consider staying in your home if that’s what works best for your dog. I’d follow their usual routine and make sure they feel settled while you’re away.
