“Sofie has started drop ins with my rescue dog Rita, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Rita has always been super anxious with people coming in the house, but she already loves Sofie after a couple of visits. That's testament to Sofie's patience and how much she cares about dogs.”


“Joanna was amazing as always looking after my cat, Baby whilst i was away. She sends lovely photos and updates, and it's clear how comfortable Baby is with Joanna. Thanks again!”


“Sarah is great! Only had 1 visit with Frankie so far and he very quickly gravitated towards her and felt safe! He’s an anxious boy and she’s great and dealing with him when he’s getting worked up! Thanks so much!”


About: Growing up we always had dogs, from Rottweilers and cain corsos to french bulldogs and pugs! Throughout my whole life I have been surrounded by animals and only since moving away for university and now a grad job have a truly been away from a dog for the first time in my life. Having so many dogs growing up meant we had a lot of puppies. Sadly during birth one of our dogs passed away meaning as a family we bottle fed new born puppies and cared for them in ways I don’t think many would have before. I have created little splints for french bulldogs puppies legs when their bellies got too big and caused them problems with walking and helped train their leg muscles (crazy but true!). I used to take all of my dogs on walks for pocket money (even the big ones!) so there really isn’t any situation I don’t believe I haven’t been in with a dog. I’m currently working a graduate job, I would love to switch off from this by taking dogs on walks at the weekends! It will also give me the opportunity to explore the parks of this new city! I am very hands on when watching a dog/ I love them and always want to be around them so really any where I am they will be! I would never put a dog in an unsafe environment I really think they are the best things in the world.

About: I've had pets the majority of my life, before moving for uni I lived with 3 cats, a dog, and two guinea pigs! As well as caring for my own pets, I was also responsible for walking my grandmothers dog during his final years when she was unable to keep up with what he needed for fitness. Looking after pets isn't just a chore in my eyes its enjoyable and I love learning animal's personalities! I'm currently a PhD student which means I have a lot of control over my work hours, so I'll be available to care for pets any time during the work day, as I can come and go when necessary or work from my laptop if I'm pet sitting in yours or my own home! Care for pets in my eyes is treating them like a member of the family! I'll play with, feed, walk, and love your pets. Adaptability is key as well, for example, where my household is big on spoiling with treats (within reason of course), I wouldn't do this without express permission when caring for someone else's pet!

About: Having my own dog from the age of 9 to 20 years of age I truly know the love of an animal and the impact of having one in your life. Because of this I have been relied on by family and friends to care for their dogs and cats on numerous occasions which I love, enjoy and want to continue doing I currently work in finance in Manchester City centre but with a flexible working policy, I can work from home any day necessary and provide ultimate care at any time! Having looked after a range of different dogs I appreciate they all come with different needs. I can adapt my environment or method for whatever suits the owner

About: Hello! I'm Graeme, and I am so excited to meet your furry friends! My partner Rob and I have both grown up with dogs all of our lives and we're really missing the love and affection we want to give as we can't commit to having one of our own at the moment. My family have always had dogs from I was a kid including Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and mixed breed rescues. We regularly babysit our friends Maltese (Daisy) for weekends, and any dog welcomed to our home becomes part of our wider family. Rob and I both work a mixture of office based and home hybrid Monday to Friday so are flexible in our availability for day care, drop in and boarding mid-week and weekends so get in touch. We live in a decent sized apartment, with a securely fenced balcony with lots of good walking routes close by near canals, parks and quieter green spaces.

“Susanna was fantastic with our kitten, kept us updated everyday with photos & letting us know how our lil baby was doing. Really gave us peace of mind whilst we were on our holiday. Can’t recommend enough!”


About: I have had many pets throughout my childhood but have always had a love for dogs. All my birthday wishes finally came true and we got a cockerpoo! 🩷 I have looked after pets on rover for over a year and had built up regular pawpaws! However prior I have had family pets ranging from puppies to working dogs to hamsters and cats. Since moving out I have missed this aspect of my life which has drawn me to Rover. As I am working from home but I am new to Manchester as a city! I will have loads of time to ensure your dog is fully attended and can be flexible around your needs for other services 🌟 As mentioned I am currently working from home in a central Manchester location therefore I have lots of time to look after and play with your fur ball! My workplace are highly flexible and I love to get out and about within my day where possible! My weekends are super flexible for pet sitting and in the week drop ins at multiple points in the day are viable. I am unfortunately unable to look after dogs in my apartment however I find that dogs feel more relaxed in an environment they know🩷 I am happy to keep your routine in place as much as possible and accommodate to any requirements - including lots of updates, photos and check-ins. Although I have lots of love and attention to give and this will be great fun for me i want your doggo/cat to feel the same!! Keeping similarity’s in routine will help your dog feel at ease and reassured! I am happy to adapt to different things to make you feel comfortable with me being around your dog!

“Mohammed was quick to reply and easy to organise with. He did a quick drop by a few days before to meet Coco and they got on well. He sent me photos and kept me updated during the visit. Took good care of coco, took her for a walk, gave her plenty of attention and fed her. Thank you! Will definitely book him again”

“Claudya is an exceptional pet sitter. While I was out of town, she cared for my cat as if it were her own. She was reliable, attentive, and gave me complete peace of mind. I will definitely reach out to her again whenever I need someone to look after my cat. Thank you so much, Claudya — you truly are the best!”

Oliver B.
“Having known Oliver his whole life, I have no problem in vouching for his kind and caring nature. He has grown up around animals, often taking full responsibility for their day to day needs. He has done plenty of 'pet sitting' - both dogs and cats - for friends and family, including for extended periods for holidays etc, and dog walked after school for several years for his gran when it became too difficult for her. He knows that pet care is about more than just food and water, it's about time and attention, play, affection, picking up after them - all aspects of being a responsible pet carer, and I'd have no hesitation in leaving him in charge of mine!”
