My husband and I had a great relaxing weekend away knowing that Daniel was in such safe hands with his friend Michael.”

Lots of updates and pictures also gave me piece of mind throughout the 2 day stay. Will definitely be using again next time :)”
“As always, Andria took amazing care of my dog, Gimli. It’s clear he loves spending time with her. Andria is a lovely person and always takes the time to update me on how Gimli’s doing.

About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats both in Taiwan and the UK. I have my own cat (an orange tabby back home), and I’ve regularly looked after friends’ cats, including daily drop-in visits for feeding, cleaning litter, and spending quality time with them. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I’m always patient and gentle, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. Cats tend to warm up to me quickly, and I love spending time playing with them in the evenings or simply keeping them company. While I’m especially confident with cats, I’m also happy to care for dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office two days a week, so I have plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with pets. On my work-from-home days, I’m around throughout the day for feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m also flexible in the mornings, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to fit around your pet’s routine and needs. I always prioritise creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for pets, especially cats who are more sensitive to changes. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, litter cleaning, and any specific care needs. I’m gentle, patient, and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries. For house sitting or drop-in visits, I make sure your home stays clean and secure, and I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Your pet’s wellbeing and comfort are always my top priority.
“I was afraid that Lolli wouldn't want to come back home after being so happy and spoiled 😍😍 I had nothing to worry about leaving her with Imogen, she's definitely will be back! Thank you so much!”
“Jyothi took great care of our doggy, arnie, for two weeks while we were on holiday. Arnie was very happy and healthy when we picked him up. We received lots of pictures and updates from Jyothi while we were away and would have no hesitation in booking him again. Lovely man and great dog sitter”
“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!”
“Newton and Jia took great care of my dog Penny! They were super accommodating of her routine and needs, and I was kept regularly updated with photos :) Definitely recommend. Thank you both so much!”
“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.”
About: Although we are new to Rover, my partner and I have both grown up in dog-loving households, so caring for dogs has always been a part of our lives. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming and plenty of cuddles, we’ve always loved having furry friends around. Since moving to Manchester together, we haven’t been in a position to have a dog of our own and have recently lost both of our family dogs due to old age, which is one of the many reasons why we’d love to care for yours. We know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and we’ll treat your dog as if they were our own. Whether it’s for a day, a weekend or a longer stay, your dog will receive lots of love, attention and care in a safe, happy home. We’ll make sure they stick to their usual routine, get plenty of exercise and, most importantly, feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. Our goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in caring hands. Also note we are City Centre 5 min ish walk from Victoria tram or exchange square! I work from home every day, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of company throughout the day. My partner also works from home 3 times a week, so there’s almost always someone around. We both grew up in the countryside and love getting outside, so walks are already a big part of our routine. At weekends we’re usually exploring nearby parks, countryside spots or heading out for a long walk, and we’d love to have a four-legged friend join us. We live in a dog-friendly apartment building with a secure garden, and there’s a great dog park just across the road where lots of local dogs go. We don’t currently have any pets in the home of our own. We have a spacious two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with plenty of room for playing, relaxing, or sleeping. We also have a balcony where they can enjoy fresh air, and big windows that let in lots of natural light.
About: I had dogs while growing up and I have looked after loads of different breeds from cockapoos to labradors to chihuahuas. I have also fostered dogs before going to the forever homes and I had a rescue a few years ago ☺️ My working schedule is hybrid so I only go twice to the office. I usually go to the gym or dance class most days when I am away just for couple hours. I live in a flat with several gates and doors. I always walk dog on a lead and have a safe green area near by as well as the canal.
“Thank you so much for looking after Punch so well. It was lovely to see videos of him having a good time and being treated so nicely. I was able to enjoy my holiday confident that he was happy and well looked after. Xx”

“I cannot recommend this beautiful human enough. As a new cat parent, I was SO nervous about leaving him. Hadi put me at ease immediately. He oozes kindness and Salem took to him right away. I knew he’d be in good hands. Hadi is super punctual, incredibly reliable, and has lots of knowledge. I felt so safe and the photos and videos were so nice to receive. Book him now!”
“I cannot recommend Linke highly enough! She took care of my beloved rabbit, Morpheus, while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, attentive, and loving caregiver. From regular updates to the clear bond she formed with him, it was obvious that Morpheus was in the best hands. He came back calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. Linke treated Morpheus as if he were her own, and that kind of care is rare and so appreciated. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love and look after your pet, Linke is the one. I’m beyond grateful for everything she did!”
“Liz was absolutely amazing!!! I think the cats might prefer her to us now... So reassuring having lots of pictures and videos of them whilst you're away makes me feel at ease knowing they're in good hands! Thank you Liz!!!!”

“We’ve had Heidi as our go-to for a while now and it’s always a pleasure seeing her again! Heidi always does a fantastic job caring for our 2 cats and is very diligent. Our elder cat has ongoing health issues and Heidi is always very helpful in making sure we’re aware of any updates with this and tending to this. Heidi always sends pictures and videos after each visit so we never feel out of the loop. Thank you Heidi!! 🩷”

About: Full-Time Snuggle Bug & Dedicated Pet Companion 🐾 Hi there! Pets aren't just animals—they’re family, and giving them the best care is my full-time passion! I pet sit full-time as I just quit my job, your fur baby gets 100% of my time, attention, and belly rubs. No rushing around, just a relaxed, homey routine tailored exactly to what your pet loves. My cat also fully experienced to stay with dogs and cats, she have over 2 years making friends with sitting pets as apartment owner. What Makes Me Your Pet’s New Best Friend: Big, Small, Meow, or Woof! I’m comfortable with paws of all shapes and sizes—from energetic big dogs who love a good zoomie, to sweet little pups, and independent cats who just want a calm sunny spot (and occasional chin scratches). Puppy Energy & Good Habits: Got a young tail-wagger? I help keep up with fun play sessions to burn off that adorable puppy energy. Pets Are My Daily Priority! ☀️🐾 Because pet care is my full-time focus, my entire day revolves around keeping tail-waggers and purr-machines happy, healthy, and safe! Here is how a typical day looks with me: Bright & Early: Morning paws-out walks, breakfast time, and fresh water refreshes to start the day with happy wags. Mid-Day Play & Paws: Perfect for active play, mental enrichment, sunny nap spots, and mid-day check-ins or neighborhood strolls. Cozy Evenings: Wind-down walks, dinner service, precise medication routines (if needed), and plenty of sofa cuddles before bedtime. Ultimate Flexibility for Your Peace of Mind: Since I don't have a traditional 9-to-5 job, my schedule is wonderfully flexible! Whether your dog needs precise pot-ty breaks every few hours, your cat craves extra midday chin scratches, or your senior pet needs a quiet, slow-paced routine, I can easily adapt to match your pet’s exact daily rhythm. Whether I’m hosting your furry family member in my home or visiting them in yours, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and every pet as if they were my own!
“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! 🙏🏿”
“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 ?”
“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.”
“Darcy was wonderful. Easy to book and made the drop off and pick up really convenient for me. Milo was well looked after and seemed happy as can be coming back from his walks with Darcy. Lots of care and attention I will definitely book Darcy again next time I'm working in the area. And highly recommend her.”

I am very flexible with my time, so I can guarantee your pet care is number 1 priority of mine, I live in an apartment, so windows and doors are secured and closed which will prevent any escapes. They’ll have 100% supervision at all times, outside terrace garden is secure with fencing all around for when they need the toilet, which will also have 100% supervision at all times. Pets feel more at ease with a routine, so I am happy to accommodate to their feeding, playtime, and sleep schedules, this can be discussed if necessary.

Please contact me for any possible dates that may not seem possible in my calendar! I work from home every day as a paralegal. I am free to go on walks whenever it would be necessary. I always go for a walk at least once a day and anyway so it would be lovely to take your dog or cat with me (on a leash of course for safely) for some fresh are as much as needs be. I live with my boyfriend Harry who is also a paralegal. He loves animals as much as me and he works from home 2 days a week. I live in a flat that has two locked doors to get into the building. The flat building itself is pet friendly. We have a park opposite our flat building, and I would be happy to take pets out on a leash to explore and get fresh air as much as they would need. Whatever your pets require, I am easy to accommodate 🥰
“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.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have two of my own back home: a Samoyed and a Poodle, which I miss very much🥺, And I’m used to different personalities, ages, and needs. They’re completely different, which has taught me how to understand each dog individually. I’ve trained my own dogs, including crate training, potty training, and basic commands like sit, stay, spin, paw and recall, so I’m confident handling behaviour in a calm and consistent way. I also enjoy making dog friendly treats and I’m very aware of what’s safe and unsafe for dogs.

I pet sit full-time as I just quit my job, your fur baby gets 100% of my time, attention, and belly rubs. No rushing around, just a relaxed, homey routine tailored exactly to what your pet loves. My cat also fully experienced to stay with dogs and cats, she have over 2 years making friends with sitting pets as apartment owner. What Makes Me Your Pet’s New Best Friend: Big, Small, Meow, or Woof! I’m comfortable with paws of all shapes and sizes—from energetic big dogs who love a good zoomie, to sweet little pups, and independent cats who just want a calm sunny spot (and occasional chin scratches). Puppy Energy & Good Habits: Got a young tail-wagger? I help keep up with fun play sessions to burn off that adorable puppy energy. Pets Are My Daily Priority! ☀️🐾 Because pet care is my full-time focus, my entire day revolves around keeping tail-waggers and purr-machines happy, healthy, and safe! Here is how a typical day looks with me: Bright & Early: Morning paws-out walks, breakfast time, and fresh water refreshes to start the day with happy wags. Mid-Day Play & Paws: Perfect for active play, mental enrichment, sunny nap spots, and mid-day check-ins or neighborhood strolls. Cozy Evenings: Wind-down walks, dinner service, precise medication routines (if needed), and plenty of sofa cuddles before bedtime. Ultimate Flexibility for Your Peace of Mind: Since I don't have a traditional 9-to-5 job, my schedule is wonderfully flexible! Whether your dog needs precise pot-ty breaks every few hours, your cat craves extra midday chin scratches, or your senior pet needs a quiet, slow-paced routine, I can easily adapt to match your pet’s exact daily rhythm. Whether I’m hosting your furry family member in my home or visiting them in yours, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and every pet as if they were my own!
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I had four cats at different stages of my childhood until I was 17, as well as two guinea pigs. These experiences helped me develop a natural understanding of animals’ needs, personalities, and behaviour from an early age. I have experience caring for a dog that I lived with for a year in one home. I enjoyed taking the dog for daily morning walks, providing companionship, attention, and care as part of its routine. In another home, I lived with and cared for two cats, two rabbits, and two guinea pigs, looking after their daily needs and helping them feel comfortable and well cared for. What makes me different is the genuine love, patience, and kindness I bring to every animal. I believe pets are part of the family, and I treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I take time to build trust and understand each pet’s individual personality and routine. I am reliable, responsible, and attentive to detail. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I will provide a calm, loving, and safe environment, with regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I enjoy creating a calm and reliable routine that includes walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am happy to adapt to each pet’s individual needs and follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on keeping their familiar routine and environment as comfortable as possible. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, while carefully following the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I understand that pets are family, and building trust is very important. I provide gentle, attentive care and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I also send regular updates and photos, so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands.

“We booked our cocker spaniel Daniel in with Michael for an overnight stay having previously booked him for a daycare session. I honestly can't recommend Michael enough, he is super reliable and responsive, he is so attentive to Daniel with lots of walks, playtime and cuddles and sends regular updates and photos. My husband and I had a great relaxing weekend away knowing that Daniel was in such safe hands with his friend Michael.”
“Would highly recommend this sitter for your dog. Our dog has epilepsy requiring strict medication schedules and keeping his routine consistent. Hannah provided lots of updates and photos, we could see he was having a lovely time and thoroughly enjoying himself. We would have no hesitation in using Hannah again.”
“As always, Andria took amazing care of my dog, Gimli. It’s clear he loves spending time with her. Andria is a lovely person and always takes the time to update me on how Gimli’s doing. She is very communicative, reliable, and caring, and she is the first person I ask if I need someone to look after Gimli. Thank you again Andria! X”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with Luna she made her very comfortable as soon as she got there and kept me up to date over the weekend with lots of pics and videos. Can’ thank Hannah enough and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Jyothi took great care of our doggy, arnie, for two weeks while we were on holiday. Arnie was very happy and healthy when we picked him up. We received lots of pictures and updates from Jyothi while we were away and would have no hesitation in booking him again. Lovely man and great dog sitter”
About: Although we are new to Rover, my partner and I have both grown up in dog-loving households, so caring for dogs has always been a part of our lives. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming and plenty of cuddles, we’ve always loved having furry friends around. Since moving to Manchester together, we haven’t been in a position to have a dog of our own and have recently lost both of our family dogs due to old age, which is one of the many reasons why we’d love to care for yours. We know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and we’ll treat your dog as if they were our own. Whether it’s for a day, a weekend or a longer stay, your dog will receive lots of love, attention and care in a safe, happy home. We’ll make sure they stick to their usual routine, get plenty of exercise and, most importantly, feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. Our goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in caring hands. Also note we are City Centre 5 min ish walk from Victoria tram or exchange square! I work from home every day, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of company throughout the day. My partner also works from home 3 times a week, so there’s almost always someone around. We both grew up in the countryside and love getting outside, so walks are already a big part of our routine. At weekends we’re usually exploring nearby parks, countryside spots or heading out for a long walk, and we’d love to have a four-legged friend join us. We live in a dog-friendly apartment building with a secure garden, and there’s a great dog park just across the road where lots of local dogs go. We don’t currently have any pets in the home of our own. We have a spacious two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with plenty of room for playing, relaxing, or sleeping. We also have a balcony where they can enjoy fresh air, and big windows that let in lots of natural light.
About: I have been a dog owner for the last 15 years and my future goal is to own a Dog Day Care Business. In that time I have been the go to dog sitter for friends and family! I have also worked in animals sanctuaries where I cared for the animals health and wellbeing. I am very fortunate to have recently become a Certified Dog Trainer, and appreciate everything that I have learnt to improve my skills and experience with dogs. I work full-time and can work from home twice a week on Mondays-Thursdays! Weekends are doable with a little notice. I live within the city centre and am only a short distance away from transport links so travel to you should be easy! I have a large dog friendly apartment with my partner for when your pet wants to relax. I live close to many nice parks and amenities for when your pooch needs a walk.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and passion for dogs. I work for Pooch & Mutt, a brand dedicated to supporting dogs’ health and happiness, giving me knowledge around nutrition, treats, and individual dietary needs. I have also volunteered with dog charities around the world, caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. You think you love dogs? Double it! No dog is too big, too small, too young, or too old. I believe every dog deserves patience, compassion, and care tailored to their individual personality and needs. As my employer’s motto reflects, it’s all about caring for all breeds and all needs. 🐾💕 I work from home, with an hour lunch break between 12–2, giving me plenty of time for walks, play, attention and entertainment. I’m flexible and available. I provide a safe, loving home in my dog-friendly Castlefield apartment, with a secure gated garden, dog-filled allotment area, and nearby walks for exercise and fun.
“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.”
“Daisy was lovely and took wonderful care of Reggie! She sent thorough daily updates & lots of photos so I knew all about Reggie’s day and what they had been getting up to - she definitely spoilt him with lots of love and attention, walks, extra goodies and ice cream at the park! I felt super confident in Daisy looking after Reggie whilst I was away and was able to relax knowing he was in good hands. He came home a very happy (and tired!) boy, and he will definitely be back for a holiday at Daisy’s. Thank you again! Xx”
“Mia was great with Buggy, sent updates whilst he was there with pictures and he looked like he was having the best time! Would definitely ask Mia again if she could have Buggy as I know he’d be well taken care of and have a lovely time ☺️”
About: I have had a loving passion for animals from a young age, and spending company with dogs and cats has truly been a hobby my entire life! I enjoy walks anyway and being able to play and look after animals is my dream! My experience looking after pets is plenty as I have looked after my sisters dog and cat and have been around them all my life! If there are any specific details and routines on how you want me to look after your pet, I would love that, to ultimately make them feel as comfortable as possible and be able to have them really enjoy their time with me would be a huge blessing! Please contact me for any possible dates that may not seem possible in my calendar! I work from home every day as a paralegal. I am free to go on walks whenever it would be necessary. I always go for a walk at least once a day and anyway so it would be lovely to take your dog or cat with me (on a leash of course for safely) for some fresh are as much as needs be. I live with my boyfriend Harry who is also a paralegal. He loves animals as much as me and he works from home 2 days a week. I live in a flat that has two locked doors to get into the building. The flat building itself is pet friendly. We have a park opposite our flat building, and I would be happy to take pets out on a leash to explore and get fresh air as much as they would need. Whatever your pets require, I am easy to accommodate 🥰
“The most amazing sitter. Felt super safe leaving Carlos with her. Lots of updates and super easy going on drop off / pick up times. He looked like he had a great time and has come home super calm. Would definitely rebook ❤️”
“I can’t thank Xinjie enough for looking after my cat, Lili, while we were away. All I wanted was for him to have some company, and she gave him just that, lots of care, attention, and affection❤️ She kept me updated with lovely photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease and helped when I was missing him. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, highly recommend! ☺️❤️”
About: I've looked after my friends/family's pets before and have lots of experience with pets through to puppies/kittens and older. I love a needy pet and giving lots of attention and cuddles. I work from home 3 days a week and can give my attention to your pet all throughout the day, taking dogs for walks before work and on my lunch. I always have Sundays off which I like to spend having a nice long walk around a park and would love to bring a little furry friend along! I work from home Monday, Thursday Friday and so I am available all hours to pet sit. I always have Sundays off and am free some Saturdays so I can do long weekends. I regularly go on walks on my lunch and after my tea. I live in a flat in the city but I live near nice walking routes and parks and can go for long walks with dogs. I give lots of cuddles and attention and will always let pets on furniture and on my bed, including sleeping on the bed if that's the usual at home :)
“Reggie’s stay with Siobhan & Will was short and sweet as they had him for just one night whilst I was away for a baby shower, but they took good care of him & he came back a happy boy! :) thank you again xx”
“Silvia was excellent and very responsive. She took a really good care of Leshy and I could see from photos how happy he was. Her dog being the same age and same energy as Leshy was a cherry on top and they seemed to have a lot of fun. I would recommend Silvia and definitely go back to her again in the future.”
“Ruby took wonderful care of Reggie! It was a short & sweet stay as I was away for just one night, but Reggie had a lovely time and Ruby sent regular updates & photos which I love! I booked last minute & Ruby was very accommodating, making sure we could fit in a quick meet & greet beforehand. She was really lovely and Reggie came back a happy boy. Thank you again & Reggie will be back for a holiday soon! Xx”
“Rhubarb had the best time with Tania. Her communication was fantastic and she sent us regular updates of what Rhubarb had been up to. I could tell how much she truly cared for Rhubarb and would 100% book with Tania again, she was lovely!!”
