About: I had my first cat at nine years old and have grown up with cats my entire life. They have always been my favourite animal and caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years I have looked after cats with a range of different personalities, whether that’s playful and energetic kitties to those that are more independent and shy, who might need a little extra patience. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm confident with feeding, administering oral medication if needed, cleaning litter trays and food/ water bowls and providing lots of enrichment and love. What sets me apart is my genuine love for cats and my attention to detail. I know how important it is to keep owners updated, so I'll make sure you receive regular photos and updates of your fur baby for peace of mind. Whether your cat loves company or prefers a quieter approach, I'll make sure I adhere to their wants and needs.
“Olivia had been fantastic with our puppy. She has knowledge, patience and great communication. We are also very grateful for the adjustments she’s made in the hot weather. We would highly recommend Olivia :)”
“This is the third time we booked Heidi and she is our go-to pet sitter now. Our cat Penny is really anxious and timid but Heidi has really helped her come out of her shell. It's so nice to see Penny trusting her more and more - Heidi has a real gift with animals! I can trust her to give Penny's medications and she always provides detailed daily updates and photos for reassurance when we're away.”
“Elsie and Olivia were absolutely wonderful looking after our cat while we were away. They sent us lots of lovely photos and regular updates, played with her loads, and gave her so much care and attention. It put our minds at ease knowing our baby was in such safe, loving hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and couldn’t be more grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily have them look after Winnie again! ❤️”
“Thank you so much to Elizabeth for taking care of Fleefer while we were away for Christmas. Elizabeth was amazing with Fleefer from day 1 and really got along well with her. The daily updates were amazing and we could really see how comfortable Fleefer was with Elizabeth, and I think she looked forward to every drop in visit! Elizabeth is very trustworthy and we would absolutely like her to come and take care of Fleefer again when we are away in future. Thank you!”
“Irene did a brilliant job watching my two cats. She communicated well, gave nice photo and written updates and both cats seemed to enjoy her company. She was also very kind and helpful especially when we had to unexpectedly add on an additional check in. Thanks so much, we’d be happy to book her again.”
“Joanna was fantastic - this was my first booking with her and I instantly felt I could trust her in my home and with Buddy. Her drop in reports were lengthy and detailed each day and the pictures of Buddy were so cute. Will definitely book again!”
“Liz is very reliable and a fabulous cat sitter. She looked after Albert & Mabel really well and sent us many updates and photos/videos which was lovely to see while we were away. Thank you Liz!x 🐈🐈⬛️”
About: I have grown up around cats, with my parents having cats before I was born. There has not been a single day in my 31 years of life that I haven’t been around cats. I have adopted two cats of my own previously as a single woman, including a poorly cat who required a special diet and regular administration of medication. Happy to clean a cat tray, the smell of cat pee and poop doesn’t scare me!
“Elena was amazing. She took excellent care of my cat Oscar while I was on a trip. She was very respectful and communicative. I would easily choose her again if I have another trip. Thank you so much!”
“This is the second time I’ve asked Molly to take care of my two cats, and she did an amazing job again! I was away for two weeks, and when I came home, everything was just as I left it - clean, tidy, and my cats were happy and relaxed (no resentment at all!). I can tell they were well cared for. Highly recommended!”
About: I have been a dedicated cat owner since 2023, caring for two wonderful cats — a Ragdoll and a Golden British Shorthair. Living with them daily has given me a deep understanding of feline behaviour, routines, and individual personalities. I know how important it is for cats to stay in their own familiar environment, which is why I come to your home to provide care. I will follow your cat’s usual routine, provide food, fresh water, playtime and plenty of cuddles, and send you regular photo updates so you have complete peace of mind.
“I‘m so happy with Saffron and George. I really liked the detailed updates and many pictures after each visit. Dixie was a bit shy during the first introduction meeting but soon I received pictures of her sitting on Saffron‘s lap asking for cuddles. 😻 Dixie was very relaxed and content when I came back. Thank you so much for taking good care of Dixie.”

Unfortunately Simba has fallen ill recently and appetite isn't great but Jyothi ensured he tried his best to get Simba eating. Regular updates with photos which definitely put my mind at ease esp when my baby isn't 100%. Can't thank you enough for being so caring and understanding. Highly recommended ?”
“I booked Valeria to look after my dog, Lola, for another daycare session.

Valeria kept me updated with photos of Lola's activities and walks. Thank you Valeria.”
“Jamie and Nikola were absolutely wonderful with our little princess, Miss Minnie! They took such great care of her, and it was clear she felt right at home with them and their lovely dog, Carlton.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and have been lucky enough to own family pets throughout my childhood, through until present day.

Having owned dogs all my life, I am familiar with the safe environment required for animals and know how to build trust with both people, and their pets.

“Kate had my Havanese for a day and I must compliment her for taking such a good care of her. At the end, she wanted to follow Kate instead of me (had to think for a second to give four stars instead of five at that point). It went apparently well with Kate's dog too. Therefore, I am very pleased. Would totally recommend.”

“My doggies love Olivia! She is absolutely great with them and even my shy chihuahua has opened up to her over time and allowed her to pick her up and cuddle her (which she rarely does with strangers).

About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, I had my own dog, a poodle, which taught me the responsibilities of daily pet care such as feeding, walking, grooming, and giving them the attention and exercise they need. Currently, I have two cats at home, so I am very familiar with their routines, including feeding, litter box cleaning, grooming, and playtime. Caring for my own pets has helped me understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment are for animals. In addition, I have experience looking after cats and dogs through another pet-sitting app, where I provided reliable care through drop-in visits and walks. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my current routine as I am currently taking a career break, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for drop-in visits and dog walks, ensuring pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they need. With the extra time in my schedule, I am able to plan visits carefully and make sure each pet is looked after properly without rushing. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are in reliable and responsible hands. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services, ensuring pets receive proper care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I do not provide boarding services. I also have prior experience caring for both cats and dogs through another pet-sitting app, which has helped me build strong skills in understanding different pet personalities and maintaining their routines in a comfortable and secure environment.
About: Hi! We’re a reliable, dog loving couple offering dog walking and sitting services right in the city centre. We pride ourselves on being responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always our top priorities and we treat every dog as if they were our own. We live in a third-floor flat with a spacious, comfortable living area. Our building is pet friendly and just a stones throw away from Deansgate station. We’re also perfectly located near the canal and several great parks (Hulme Park, Castlefield Urban Heritage Park, Mayfield Park) and we know plenty of lovely walking routes both in and around the city centre. For more adventurous outings, we’re just a short tram journey away from even more fantastic green spaces, so your dog will never be short of exercise or new smells to explore. As an experienced couple, we regularly care for my partner’s parents’ dog when they’re away, so we’re very familiar with the routines, responsibility, and love that come with looking after someone else’s pet. Whether it’s walks, overnight stays, or just a few hours while you run errands, we’re happy to help. We know leaving your dog with someone new can feel daunting, but we’ll make sure it’s a pawsitive experience for both you and your pup. Feel free to get in touch with any questions, we’d love to chat and see how we can help. Our schedules work really well for pet care as we both have hybrid jobs. I work from home 2–3 days a week, and my partner works from home at least 2 days a week, so there will always be someone around to keep your dog company. We’re unavailable on Mondays, but we’re available for dog sitting on the other weekdays. We also offer dog boarding from Thursday evenings through to Sunday evening. On the days we’re working from home, we’re attentive and present, making sure dogs get plenty of attention, regular walks, and a comfortable, relaxed environment throughout the day. We live in a self-contained flat with a spacious living area, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and feel at home. We also have a small, secure balcony with metal fencing and no gaps—so even the smallest pups can’t slip through. Being in the city centre, we’re lucky to have beautiful nearby walks along the city walls, as well as quieter parks and canal-side routes for dogs who prefer a calmer environment away from busy areas. Let me know if your dog has any needs/requirements/likes/dislikes before hand so that we can accommodate accordingly. We want to ensure your dogs stay is as comfortable as possible.
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.
About: ✨Passionate and Experienced: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I spent a lot of time caring for my grandfather’s two dogs, feeding them and making sure they were happy and healthy. During my time working at a private café, I also helped my boss care for two dogs and three cats, handling their daily meals, activities, and walks. This hands-on experience has taught me so much about animal care. I’ve even looked after some stray dogs near my home, offering them comfort and companionship. These experiences have made me realize that each pet has its own unique personality and needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe and happy. ✨Natural Affinity: Animals of all kinds have always come naturally to me—not just dogs and cats, but also rabbits, ducklings , hamsters, turtles, and so on.I treat them as true friends and companions, with patience and genuine care. ✨Patient and Genuine: One of my most memorable experiences was with a Corgi named Puff, whom I cared for regularly. His owner, concerned he might run off but unable to find the time to care for him properly, had kept him tied up in the backyard, which made him quite restless. I took him out to the park every day, bought him toys, and taught him how to play. Over time, he became much more cheerful and confident, even initiating interactions on his own. Seeing Puff’s transformation was truly rewarding. ✨Attentive and Responsible: Before caring for different breeds, I make a point of researching their specific needs, from diet and exercise to health considerations, so I can give them the best possible care. For example, I know that smaller dogs need extra warmth in winter, while larger dogs benefit from ample exercise space. I believe every animal is unique, and I strive to cater to their individual needs. ✨Energetic and Dedicated: I have plenty of energy and rarely get tired, so I can keep up with energetic dogs during playtime or walks, ensuring they get enough exercise and enjoyment. 🫡Reassurance: When caring for pets, I will keep owners updated with regular photos and short videos if they need , so they can feel connected to their pets even while away. For me, this is more than just a job—it’s a joyful journey of building a meaningful bond with each little life I care for! 🥹❤️ ⏰ Right now, I don’t have any other work commitments, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m usually available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day to care for pets. So I can easily adjust to each pet’s routine, giving them the attention they need at the times that suit them best 🐶 Currently, I’m focused on offering dog walking and pet care in the owner’s home. For Dog Walking 🌳🦮 I will tailor outing based on the dog’s age, energy level, and personality, choosing safe, pet-friendly spots like local parks or green spaces. For younger or less active dogs, I opt for shorter, slower-paced routes, while more energetic dogs get longer walks to help them burn off energy. For Drop-In Visits 🏠🐕🐱 I‘ll make sure to follow the owner’s advice to keep the pet’s usual routine—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or rest. For pets with special needs, like puppies, senior dogs, or those with health concerns, I can adjust the activities according to the owner’s guidance to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. 📲I also keep in touch with owners regularly, sending photos or short videos after each visit so they can feel connected and know their pet is doing well 🐶😸
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.
About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover who has grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life. Having always been surrounded by pets, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I recently moved from Australia to the UK, and one of the things I miss most is being around animals every day. Cat sitting and dog walking allows me to combine my love for animals with helping owners feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I am comfortable caring for cats & dogs of all breeds, having owned my own cat and dog, and looked after many others over the years. My experience ranges from energetic kittens & puppies to older cats and dogs who need a little extra care and attention. I understand that animals can all have very different personalities and routines, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure in my care. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always aim to adapt my care to suit their individual personality, needs, and preferences. At the moment I am not working, so I have very good availability throughout the week as well as on weekends. I’m flexible with timings and happy to work around your needs, whether that’s daytime, evenings, or weekends. Pets are always treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I keep spaces clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, and I always follow the owner’s usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel secure and settled. When it comes to walks and outdoor time, I’m very lucky to have lots of green spaces and parks nearby, all within walking distance. This makes it easy to provide regular, enjoyable walks in safe, calm environments where pets can explore, play, and get plenty of exercise. If I’m caring for pets in the owner’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or preferred habits, and I make sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Overall, my focus is always on giving each pet consistent care, attention, and affection so they feel safe, happy, and relaxed while their owner is away.
About: Hi! I’m Jess (jess_sits_pets_xo) I have grown up around animals and have had the pleasure of owning two cats in my own flat up until recently. I have experience with paid dog walking and dog sitting for up to 1 week for up to 2 dogs at a time in my flat, including Chihuahuas, a Miniature Pinscher and Shih Tzus. This included regular walks, toilet break and regular play times! I am happy to adapt to your pets style of living as I allow cats and dogs on my furniture. I enjoy driving to the countryside for walks and feel it would be great to take a dog along for a walk for the day! I am prepared to spend evenings and weekends walking/housesitting dogs or cats and am reliable and can always be contacted. Currently I work full time, working Tuesday - Thursday in the office. I am usually out of the house from 8:20-18:00 on these days. I work from home every Friday and have Saturday/Sundays free. I do have flexibility with my work from home days so I can see about adjusting my schedule to your pets needs. Happy to work from home at a house sitting and keep your pet company during the day or evening! I offer house sitting services alongside regular pop in visits. As I have my own cat, I can no longer house animals in my own home but am happy to house sit and care for cats or dogs in your own home! This includes emptying cat litter trays, frequent daily visits, sleepovers, taking dogs for regular walks, cleaning up furballs etc. I do have a travel basket for dogs to be clipped into my car too :)

About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life, though I currently do not have any pets. I have experience with a wide variety of dogs with different care needs and have been a sitter previously on many occasions. I work full time, three days a week I will go to the office for 1-2 hours (walking distance from home). Other than that, I typically do not leave home outside of normal errands. I have no pets of my own in the house. There is space for a crate if required, though we don't own one. We also have a fenced garden.

Would highly recommend Tania and her husband and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
