“Lida and her flatmates were amazing dog sitters! Left my dog for 2 nights and he thoroughly enjoyed his time there, with multiple walks daily, play time and even gave him a shower, plus a lovely gift to top it all. She was proactive with keeping me updated with photos and his status multiple times a day, I was left at ease that my dog was in safe hands - highly recommend.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Annamay and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. My dog Fifi stayed overnight and was clearly so well cared for. Annamay kept me updated throughout with plenty of photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. It was lovely to see Fifi so happy, playful, and relaxed in her care. Communication was perfect from start to finish, and it’s obvious that Annamay genuinely loves and understands dogs.”
“I booked Valeria for two nights boarding with my little doggy Lola, everything went well with Lola happily trotting off with Valeria. As usual Valeria kept me updated with messages and photos which was great and meant that I could enjoy my short break without worrying about Lola's welfare. Lola was so chilled when I picked her up so she'd had a good time as well. thank you Valeria,”
“Louis had a great time with Jamie. They took wonderful care of her and kept us updated with lots of cute pictures. Great dog sitters and we’d be happy to book with Jamie again!”
“Our two Frenchie’s have just had another week with the wonderful Michael. The girls absolutely love him and are so happy there. One of our dogs had a bit of a medical issue before dropping her off but we spoke to Micheal and he was absolutely fine having her and kept us constantly updated with pictures and telling us what they had been up to. Michael is truly a wonderful human that looks after our girls like their his own.”
“Imogen was great with Rudy, took him out on walks and gave him lots of cuddles during his stay! Rudy has been shattered today so he must have had a very fun time. Thank you Imogen, would love to book with you again!”
“We (and more importantly - our dog) are very happy with Leda. It's our fourth time with her, we are very confident in Leda, she is extremely reliable and attentive. Have experienced 0 issues.”
“Fabulous service, Willow my flat coated retriever tells me she love staying with Hannah and she is always excited to see her when she arrives. I would 100% recommend to any dog owner. Willow needs lots of exercise and takes medication for her allergies and Hannah catered for my daughter's every need. While I have been away on holiday or away on business.”
“Alice and her partner were such a wonderful, friendly, dog loving couple who did an amazing job of looking after my dog overnight. He was clearly well looked after, taken on some lovely walks and I’m grateful for all the photos of him while he was staying with them. I would recommend Alice to anybody and I will be keen to use their service the next time I need some help.”
“Atlas had a great time with Lucy. It’s always reassuring dropping your dog off to hear they’ve plans to take them for a walk in the Peak District, it makes you feel that they really want to look after your dog not just contented minimum. Lucy kept us updated with pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“Alison was AMAZING! 🤩 she sent me photos and updates of Lily and you could see that Lily was having so much fun! 🩷 Lily didn’t wanted to say goodbye so we will definitely see Alison more often! We are very happy we found Alison! She truly loves dogs and makes sure to treat them as her own 🐶💕”
“Always a great experience with Aysha and Mike! They’ve been our regular sitter for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier. You can tell they have a special bond. We’re so thankful for their consistent, loving care 💕”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have always looked after neighbours and friends dogs whenever needed. I work from home most days so your dog will get constant attention, if needed, toilet breaks every few hours and plenty of during the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, handling high-energy puppies (with experience puppies) and caring for senior dogs with slower routines. I work from home most days of the week so available Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays or post 5pm if needing someone to help out in the evening. When I work from home I’ll be able to provide hourly toilet breaks if needed. I live in a flat but have large parks near by where your dogs will be walked. I don’t have any other pets in the house so all my attention can go to looking after your dog.
About: Hello! My name is Karman, nice to meet you :) I had a shih tzu back home and I had him since he was a puppy so I am very experienced with walking and taking care of dogs. I currently have 1 rescue dog from Romania called Ruby and I live in a flat with my dog and my partner. I regularly take care of my friends’ dogs, and I ensure they are always supervised when playing together with my dog. I also regularly take both of the dogs out on walks so I am confident walking two dogs at once, but equally happy to walk them individually so each dog gets all the sniffs at their own pace :) Happy to meet prior to your booking to make sure you are happy with me and our dogs are happy with each other! Can either meet at a nearby park, or can come to my building and meet at a neutral ground for both dogs to get to know each other. To ensure both your dog and my dog can have a lovely time together, I am only able to accommodate daycare/overnight stays for dogs up to 10kg 🐾 I prioritise my dog and her health and wellbeing, so I wake up at 8am to ensure she gets plenty of time to sniff, do her zoomies and do her business in the morning. During my lunch time, I take her out for a potty break and after coming back I then give her a form of enrichment toy/puzzle to keep her mentally stimulated. After work we go on another walk, followed by cleaning her paws, brushing her fur and teeth and cleaning her eyes everyday. We have a balcony but it is secured and my dog cannot get through the gaps nor jump over it. I also make sure to keep my eyes on her whenever she goes near the balcony. We rarely use the balcony apart from when we are cooking and I put up a dog gate so my dog can’t sneak out to the balcony without me knowing. I am very aware of the dangers of dogs eating certain human food, so I make sure to never drop anything on the floor and if I did, I clean it up immediately. I have doggy gates which I use when I need to limit their access around the apartment for various reasons too. This can be because a dog has resource guarding issues and need their own personal space when eating, or it can be because they need time out and one dog needs a nap.
“Josh was nothing short of an absolute pleasure to loose with for looking after my boy, Ronnie! Josh was able to accommodate having Ronnie at short notice and was so friendly. Josh invited me and Ronnie over to do a meet and greet before having Ronnie stay with him. Josh sent me photos and videos of Ronnie whilst I was away. I would absolutely feel confident having Ronnie stay over with Josh again and would fully recommend him!”

“We had such a lovely experience with Irene. This was our first time doing something like this and was a bit anxious about the idea but Irene made us feel at ease, we got multiple updates a day about our little one. He seemed in great spirits when we got back and even missed you a little I think! Thanks so much”
“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!”
About: I've always had a pet cat! My earliest was a cute little kitten named Moffie. Growing up at times we took in older cats and cats with health problems. One of my cats has had health issues so I am also experienced in giving pets medicine and looking after their unique needs. Back home in Toronto I used to cat sit for all the neighbours and have experience watching multiple cats in one home. I'm excited to start my cat sitting journey here in Manchester and look forward to meeting your cats :))
“We got a lot of photos and updates, nothing in the house was left dirty or damaged.arrhabeas really good and put pet enjoyed her company. Will definitely contact her again!”
“Heidi looked after our cat while we were overseas and it was so reassuring to work with her as her communication was top tier. Heidi sent us loads of videos, pictures, and updates while we were away so we got daily doses of how our cat was getting on. We returned home to a well looked after and happy kitty, and it seemed like she missed Heidi! We felt really comfortable trusting Heidi with our cat Andy and will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you again Heidi!”
About: I have 6 years’ experience caring for cats for families and individuals, looking after a variety of breeds, ages and personalities, from kittens to cats aged 20. I absolutely love cats and enjoy giving them plenty of care, attention and affection, while also respecting their independence and giving them space when they prefer to be alone. I’m experienced with cats with lots of different characters and always take the time to understand their individual needs and routines.
“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!”
“Jess was absolutely amazing, Hamilton instantly liked her, she sent loads of lovely photos and I felt confident the whole time I was away that he was happy! Because I wasn’t constantly worried that he was lonely I actually enjoyed my time away from home, if I could give more stars I would 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Saffron and George were great with my cat Monty. They sent me lots of photo updates of him playing and lounging around and of his food a litter tray which they took care to keep toped up and clean. Monty clearly felt very relaxed around them. Monty can have a spicy temperament and they coped with his mood swings well. Overall I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking them again in the future.”
“Best cat sitter in Manchester. Phoebe looked after our Mori and we came back to a happy and relaxed kitty 🥰 I loved how easy was to communicate with Phoebe, highly recommended!”

“Linke was an absolutely wonderful catsitter for our two cats! She took fantastic care of them and they felt comfortable and happy around her really quickly (even our very nervous cat!). They were in very safe hands with Linke and we absolutely recommend her to anyone ☺️🌸✨”
About: I’ve been caring for cats of all ages and temperaments since I was 10. Friends, neighbours, and family regularly rely on me to feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m confident with everything from energetic kittens to older cats needing a gentler touch. I take the time to understand each cat’s personality, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own home. I’m also attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and litter maintenance, and I always make sure your cat gets plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.

“Jamie took excellent care of Wilma. His dog Carlton is very friendly and Wilma had a great time with him. Jamie was easy to communicate with and I'd definitely book him again.”
“Jyothi and his family were really nice and took really good care of Simba. 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 ?”
“Fynn enjoyed a fantastic week with Tom. He was kept safe and well cared for and gently exposed to other doggies that Tom routinely cares for, further aiding his growth and socialisation skills. Tom also remained flexible each day to accommodate my erratic schedule and was always there to fit my drop-off & pick-up times. From Fynn & I; thank you! 🙏🏿”
“I booked Valeria to look after my dog, Lola, for another daycare session. It was a bit last minute but Valeria was very kind and rescheduled some appointments for that day so Lola could stay with her. Lola couldn't wait to see her. Valeria kept me updated with photos of Lola's activities and walks. Thank you Valeria.”
“This was Frank’s second time staying with Lucy and he had such a wonderful day. He joined Lucy and her friend on a lil girlie day, and I was updated with lots of pics throughout the day so I could see what he had been up to! Lucy is amazing and clearly adores dogs, we will definitely be booking again!”
“Hannah was great. Branwen clearly loved spending time with her and the toys she provided by the pictures! Hannah kept me updated throughout the day and clearly took lots of care of Branwen. Would definitely book again!”

“Samuel was fantastic looking after our XL Bully, Ziggy, for the day. He was flexible, attentive and took the time to ask plenty of questions to make sure our dog was comfortable and well cared for. We’d definitely reach out to Samuel again for doggy day care in the future 😊”
About: Since I was very young, I’ve had a deep love and care for animals. Growing up, I often volunteered to look after my family’s pets, even before having one of my own. I’ve also been involved in an animal adoption project in South America, where I helped rescue dogs and care for them until they were rehomed. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand and adapt to different personalities and needs. Four years ago, I rescued my own dog in Peru, who had been living on the streets. She’s truly like my daughter. When I moved to the UK for my postgraduate studies, my family kindly took over her care back home, which gives me a lot of comfort while I’m away. Because of her, I really understand what it means to love and care for a dog day to day. I always treat every dog as if they were my own, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while I’m with them. I’m very attentive, responsible, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and building trust with them. I’m currently doing an MBA and not working, so I have a very flexible schedule. My class timetable is light and varies week to week, which allows me to be available at different times. I can usually accommodate bookings from Monday to Sunday, depending on the week. I live in a secure flat within a private building that has access to gardens and is surrounded by several parks in the city centre, making it a great area for walks and quick bathroom breaks. At home, I have a comfortable living space and a small enclosed balcony where pets can safely relax and get some fresh air. I’m very attentive and make sure each pet receives the care, supervision, and affection they need at all times. I always aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable and at home.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a young child. Growing up in the countryside. I’ve been surrounded by pets for basically all my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs and cats as part of my family. My first two dogs (Trixie and Rocky) were cocker spaniels. We now have the amazing Bobby in our lives, who is a 9-year old Golden Retriever, who lives with my parents. On top of my love for pets, I also love going on long walks. You can be assured that your pet will be loved for and exercised appropriately by me. I’m a freelance violinist for the most, but I do work part-time on most weekends. During the week, I spend my days working on my self-employed work. This is mainly me working from home, where I practice my instrument for upcoming concerts. Your pet will receive a calming experience of live classical music from me! I can look after your pet in your place or my place. Whichever suits best for you, me and your pet. I live in the city centre and I am very close to Peel Park- which is a great place for exercising your fury friend.
“Lockheed had a fabulous day thanks to Nilan! From the moment Lockheed met him, he trusted Nilan completely and the updates from Nilan with photos were great as Lockheed clearly felt at home. Thankyou so much for taking care of Lockheed; I can wholeheartedly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets and have looked after family and friends’ pets while they’re away on holiday, working, or simply in need of a break. I’m a bit of a pet whisperer and can usually tell what they need in an instant (some might say I can speak to them!). All jokes aside, I’ll make sure your pets have a safe, comfortable and happy space where their individual needs are always catered for. Up and out for a morning walk and toilet break to start the day. We’ll have a little run in the park or play fetch with a ball before heading home for breakfast while I work from home. At lunchtime, we’ll head out for another quick walk, giving us a chance to stretch our legs and have another toilet break. Later in the afternoon, we’ll enjoy a longer walk home, taking in the scenery and, most importantly, getting lots of good sniffs in! Back home, we’ll settle in and finish the working day before having dinner together and getting ready for our final and longest walk of the day, depending on your dog’s size, age and needs. I live in a safe and secure flat, with any potential hazards or obstructions kept safely out of reach. Pets will have regular toilet breaks and plenty of opportunities to get outside. There are several parks nearby where they can enjoy walks, explore and have a toilet break. If they’re comfortable socialising with other animals, there will also be opportunities to meet and interact with other pets along the way.
About: Pets have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for dogs through my family’s pet shop and grooming business, where I learned how to handle, care for, and understand pets with different personalities and needs. Being around animals every day taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I truly feel a deep connection with animals and love spending time with them, they bring so much joy into my life and honestly complete me. <3 I'm currently working part-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate regular bookings as well as last-minute requests when available. This means I’m able to provide attentive care, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a spacious apartment with a large living room in the area Deansgate, Spinningfields. The area is very safe and extremely pet-friendly, with plenty of welcoming spots including coffee shops where they're pet friendly. I’m able to take pets out for walks at any time of day, and there’s a lovely open space right next to my home that isn’t busy with cars, making it a calm and secure environment for walks and play.
“Lucy was fabulous when she looked after Rudy. She agreed to it with very short notice and was available to meet up beforehand so that Rudy could get to know her. She’s been very helpful and accommodating with my schedule, Rudy had a great time and came home relaxed and ready for bed. I highly recommend her, and of course I’ll ask her to look after Rudy again if she’s available. Thank you Lucy 💚”

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: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, so having animals around has always felt very natural to me. I love having dogs around, making sure they’re happy, comfortable and well looked after. I work flexibly from home, so I’m able to give pups plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around their usual routine - whether that means a good long walk (there's a lovely park down the road from me), plenty of playtime, or a slower day with naps and cuddles. I only take one pet owner at a time, so your pup gets plenty of one-to-one attention rather than being part of a busy household. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, so you know they’re happy and settled. Every dog is different, so I like to get to know their personality, routine and what they enjoy. If you’d like to meet beforehand, I’m more than happy to arrange that too. My work is very flexible, so I spend a lot of time at home - meaning I can give pets allll the love and care❣️ Happy to work around their routine, making sure they get all the walks, toilet breaks, playtime and chill-time that they're used to. It's just me at home, so it's a very calm, quiet environment. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly flat with communal outdoor space. Pets are welcome to make themselves at home on the furniture if they want to! Peel Park is just down the road, which is a great spot for walkieees! Happy to stick to your dog's routine as much as possible.

About: I am very affectionate with fur babies, but also respect them when they want their space. I know that walks are their time, so I let them sniff or socialise for as long as they need. I have volunteered at animal shelters and been a foster parent, so I can handle different energy levels and personalities. I just finished classes for my Master's program and will start working on my dissertation, which I can do from my laptop, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies :) I work from home which I can do from anywhere with my laptop. I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies while you're away :) My fur baby was very energetic as a puppy, so I tend to be cautious about any dog's surroundings. I check that there are no things they can chew or eat that could harm them and that the space where they run and play is fenced or far away from vehicles and bicycles.
“Olivia was wonderful with our two dogs! One in particular takes some time to warm up to new people, so it was wonderful seeing her so comfortable with Olivia. Thank you so much for your help and the doggies can’t wait to see you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals of all different needs since I can remember, growing up I had three dogs, two of which were rescues, one was a very nervous rescue from Korea, and another eventually became reactive over time due to old age and varying underlying medical conditions, I believe this highlights me as being well equipped for animals that have certain needs and boundaries other sitters may not be able to cater towards. I have also done multiple gigs for pet sitting for family friends, including indoor kittens and outdoor elderly cats. So while only having dogs growing up, I also have enough experience minding cats. I have two part time casual retail jobs, so while I am working away from home, I can still work around you! I always have gaps throughout my week, and I’d be happy to fill them caring for your fur baby! I always update my calendar around when I know I’m working, so you don’t have to worry about it! if I am working for whatever reason, I’ll still be able to find time to look after your pet. I’m a big walker, so I am happy to walk up and down Manchester to look after your fur baby! If your pet needs more attention, I’m more than happy to dedicate a couple hours of my day to sit, play, and keep them company so that they can settle before you come home! I can be as flexible as possible, with the exception around my work, but I’m happy to pop in before or after a shift to ensure the best for your pet and you. I’ve always grown up around animals, and I adore them, so expect to receive a lot of photos and updates of your pet every time I pay them a visit. I also have owned two rescue dogs, three dogs in total, and all three had their own set of needs, one was a nervous rescue, another a clingy rescue who acted like my little shadow, and the other had occasional reactive behaviours, so I’m well adapted to learning and respecting your pets boundaries and behaviours.
About: I have over 7 years’ professional experience caring for dogs and cats etc. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages, from puppies to 18-year-old seniors, including rescues and breeds such as Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, Jack Russells, Yorkshire Terriers and Bavarian Mountain Hounds. I’ve cared for dogs through walks, toilet breaks, house stays and overnight care, as well as looking after four cats twice daily. I’m comfortable working from home more often when needed, so I can provide plenty of company, attention and regular toilet breaks. References are available on request. I work four weekdays a week and am an early riser, with flexibility to take breaks throughout the day. I mainly work from home and can work remotely more often when needed. My weekends are flexible, and I have plenty of time for walks, play and companionship. I also love being outdoors and exploring local parks and the canal. I’m experienced, patient, reliable and professional, while always providing warm, caring attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, including rescues, and I’m happy to adapt to your preferred routine and approach. I have access to a large, secure garden in my building, with plenty of parks and walking routes nearby. I don’t currently have pets, and my partner is also an experienced, friendly pet sitter and walker, so your pet will be in a calm, safe and caring environment with us.
About: I currently work a flexible e-commerce job from home alongside a part-time restaurant role. Because of this, I have a very adaptable schedule and can provide care throughout the day, I have a safe and clean home environment and always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely and introduce them to new environments slowly if needed. I keep everything clean, secure, and stress-free, and I’m experienced with handling different temperaments, including anxious and senior pets.

You can be assured that your pet will be loved for and exercised appropriately by me. I’m a freelance violinist for the most, but I do work part-time on most weekends. During the week, I spend my days working on my self-employed work. This is mainly me working from home, where I practice my instrument for upcoming concerts. Your pet will receive a calming experience of live classical music from me! I can look after your pet in your place or my place. Whichever suits best for you, me and your pet. I live in the city centre and I am very close to Peel Park- which is a great place for exercising your fury friend.
About: Hello! I’m Phoebe. I grew up in a household filled with small animals and have over 17+ years of experience caring for a wide range of pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, parrots, lizards, hamsters, fish, and turtles. I’ve had the joy of looking after all sorts of animals. With hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, I understand their individual needs and how to help them feel safe, loved, and relaxed. I’m experienced with shy or nervous pets and always take a gentle, patient approach to help them settle in at their own pace. I’m also happy to help with training young pets and caring for senior pets. If this is your first booking on Rover, feel free to use my link for £15 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/phoeby81501 As a freelancer, I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with visit times to suit your pet’s routine and needs. I carefully plan my schedule so pets are never left for long periods, and each visit is relaxed and not rushed. I provide calm and attentive care in your home, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while also monitoring their overall wellbeing. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, administering medication if needed, and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos and videos.
“Hannah was brilliantly and very friendly. She met both myself and my pup before we scheduled a walk so that she could familiarise herself with Aspen. She was very attentive to Aspen's needs and made sure she used the same command words that we use. Hannah was really flexible about timings as I had to change our time last minute. Hannah came and picked Aspen up and dropped him home after. She was due to be gone for 30mins but took him for slightly longer which was so helpful. I would definitely use Hannah again and would 100% recommend her to my friends!”

“Robert and our standard schnauzer Oscar seem to be developing a great relationship since he started walking him. Oscar is so excited when he comes round to collect him that I struggle to put his lead on him. Always punctual and with a smile on his face even when it’s raining, I can highly recommend Robert and so can Oscar! Loving all the photos from the walk too…”
“Emma is a great carer. We've worked together on Carbee's regular weekly walkie and she also stayed in our flat to look after Carbee while we are away for weekend. Emma has been very trustable, patient and with great communication! Definitely recommend her services”
About: I’ve had 4 different dog breeds and taken full responsibility and care of them since a young age. I then enhanced this experience through Rover, building repeat clients and visitors. This experience included exercise, grooming, regular puppy checks/care, administering medications, vet visits and post operation care. I love all animals so it would be perfect to have a furry friend whilst also being able help you out with pet care ☺️ I’m always taking pictures and capturing the moment so you can expect regular updates with lots of pictures of the activities we do 📸🐾. . I used rover whilst studying at university in Bristol and have recently moved to Manchester, wishing to continue rover alongside my main job. Currently I’m not fully flexible with my main job, but I would like to get back to rover as my main job once building a client base in Manchester! I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable and settled in their environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication if needed and any specific instructions from their owner. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection and company rather than simply being left alone. I’ll also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well looked after!

“I had a fantastic experience with Annamay and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. My dog Fifi stayed overnight and was clearly so well cared for. Annamay kept me updated throughout with plenty of photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. It was lovely to see Fifi so happy, playful, and relaxed in her care. Communication was perfect from start to finish, and it’s obvious that Annamay genuinely loves and understands dogs.”
“Our two Frenchie’s have just had another week with the wonderful Michael. The girls absolutely love him and are so happy there. One of our dogs had a bit of a medical issue before dropping her off but we spoke to Micheal and he was absolutely fine having her and kept us constantly updated with pictures and telling us what they had been up to. Michael is truly a wonderful human that looks after our girls like their his own.”
“Fabulous service, Willow my flat coated retriever tells me she love staying with Hannah and she is always excited to see her when she arrives. I would 100% recommend to any dog owner. Willow needs lots of exercise and takes medication for her allergies and Hannah catered for my daughter's every need. While I have been away on holiday or away on business.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have always looked after neighbours and friends dogs whenever needed. I work from home most days so your dog will get constant attention, if needed, toilet breaks every few hours and plenty of during the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, handling high-energy puppies (with experience puppies) and caring for senior dogs with slower routines. I work from home most days of the week so available Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays or post 5pm if needing someone to help out in the evening. When I work from home I’ll be able to provide hourly toilet breaks if needed. I live in a flat but have large parks near by where your dogs will be walked. I don’t have any other pets in the house so all my attention can go to looking after your dog.
“I would highly recommend Josie and Connor if you want someone who will love your dog like their own. They looked after our dog Billy for 2 weeks when we went on holiday. They were calm and caring and from the moment we met them we were confident that he would be in safe hands. The regular photos and updates were great too. We will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“I cannot thank Alex K and her lovely partner enough for looking after my adopted Chorkie,Lexi. I don't think she even wanted to leave them! It was her first stay away with someone we didn't know,and we were initially concerned that she may feel abandoned again.They gave her so much love and sent so many daily update photos, we knew she was fine. I cannot recommend Alex highly enough,and will definitely book with her gain without any hesitation. Thank you both so much 😊”
“Xinjie and her partner looked after Yoshi for about 3 weeks whilst we were away and they took amazing care of him. Multiple walks, trips to the park, making sure he’s cleaned and brushed. Playing with him loads. I was sent many cute videos and photos and updates on him. I felt so reassured he was being looked after so so well whilst we were away. Honestly you can tell how much love they put into him. Thank you so so much! 10/10”
“Tania and her husband were absolutely brilliant looking after Whiskey. He was a little unsettled on the first day as he can be a bit anxious in new environments, this was no fault of Tania at all. She handled it amazingly with real patience and care, which we really appreciated. We received regular photo updates throughout the stay, and communication was excellent from start to finish, which put us completely at ease. It was clear Whiskey was in safe, caring hands. Would highly recommend Tania and her husband and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Amazing job looking after my pup! Kind, attentive and very clear with communication. I got updates every day with very cute photos and for the first time my dog wasn’t stressed out or sad about me being gone. Normally she would be very depressed and not eat but Rosa and her pup Lily kept my dog super happy and entertained. Very much recommend Rosa for your dog sitting needs and I will definitely be using her services again! Thank you Rosa for taking such good care of Mikka I really appreciate it!”
