About: Hi, I’m Jake and am new to Rover! From my time looking after friends and families pets and homes consistently for around 2 years, I have developed an affinity for caring for animals and am now interested in branching out to care for others during my remote working schedule. As I currently don’t have a rating on here, I kindly ask that you take time to check out my testimonials 🙂 I work a hybrid job, attending the office only part of the week, the rest of my time is spent remote working, allowing me to spend all day caring for pets. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. When following feeding, exercise and care instructions from owners, I can ensure that your pets are safe and secure whilst away. During housesitting, homes are treated with respect, keeping the place clean and secure and providing regular updates.
About: I bring a calm, patient, and attentive approach to every dog I care for. My experience includes working with puppies, high energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra support. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering oral medications, reinforcing training, and managing dogs with special needs or anxiety. I focus on creating a safe, loving environment where each dog feels understood and cared for. Whether it’s helping a puppy with basic manners, offering gentle support to older dogs with mobility issues, or giving shy pups time and space to warm up, I tailor my care to each dog’s personality. I treat every pet like family making sure they stay happy, comfortable, and well loved while you’re away. Pet care is an integral and deliberately structured component of my weekly routine. I organize my schedule to ensure consistent availability for feedings, exercise, medication administration, and any specialized care requirements. By maintaining a controlled and well-planned calendar, I am able to devote the necessary time and attention to each pet without exceeding capacity or compromising the quality of care provided. I designate specific periods throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and enrichment activities, and I align my personal and professional obligations around these commitments. This structured approach allows me to uphold each pet’s established routine while ensuring that their needs are met promptly and reliably. My schedule is intentionally designed to offer both stability and flexibility, enabling me to accommodate the unique timing preferences of each client while maintaining a high level of professionalism, consistency, and attentiveness. I place the highest priority on creating a safe, controlled, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in the owner’s residence, I adhere to consistent standards designed to promote security, hygiene, and well-being. In My Home: I maintain a clean, organized living space free of hazards, with secure areas designated specifically for pets. All doors, gates, and access points are monitored to prevent accidental escapes, and I provide appropriate supervision during indoor and outdoor activities. Pets are introduced to the environment gradually to ensure they feel calm, supported, and confident. In the Owner’s Home: I follow the owner’s established routines with precision, respecting their household rules and the pet’s familiar environment. I ensure doors, crates, feeding stations, and walk routes are managed exactly as instructed. I take care to maintain cleanliness, adhere to all safety protocols, and communicate promptly regarding any observations or concerns. Regardless of location, I prioritize clear communication, punctuality, and meticulous attention to detail. My goal is to ensure each pet receives consistent, reliable care in an environment that promotes both physical safety and emotional comfort, allowing owners to trust that their pet is in responsible and attentive hands.

“Yarah was amazing with my dog Mr. Dimbles, she kept me updated with lots of lovely photos which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She was so friendly and it's obvious how much she genuinely loves animals, I felt completely comfortable knowing my he was being so well looked after. I'd happily book with Yarah again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable petsitter 😊”

“We used Mollie for several introductions with our dogs, and it was clear from the start that both our dogs loved Mollie and Hayden. We have just come back from our first 3 night trip away and returned to very happy dogs, and a lovely clean house, it was brilliant. We honestly could not be happier with the service they provided, we already have them booked for a week in June and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mollie and Hayden to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”


About: Hi! I’m Laura 😊 I’ve always loved dogs and have a French Bulldog called Gus, who keeps me on my toes! He’s energetic and loves his walks, so I’m very used to keeping an active dog entertained with plenty of exercise, playtime and attention. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes, including brachycephalic breeds like French Bulldogs. I’m more than happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, training and any instructions you leave, so they feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I have a fully enclosed garden and plenty of space for dogs to relax, play and get some fresh air. I’m also a teacher, which means I have lots of availability during school holidays, as well as some evenings and weekends. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. Lots of love, walks, playtime and regular photo updates guaranteed! 🐶❤️ As a teacher, I have all school holidays free, which means I can completely work around your dog’s usual routine during those times. Whether they need early morning walks, lunchtime visits or evening cuddles, I’m happy to fit around what works best for them. During term time, I’m available on evenings and weekends for walks, drop-in visits and pet care. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and will only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I have a fully enclosed private garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to relax and enjoy some fresh air as well as easy access for toilet breaks. My own French Bulldog, Gus, is energetic and loves his walks, so I’m very used to giving dogs plenty of exercise, attention and playtime throughout the day. For dogs staying in my home, I’d need to know they’re comfortable around other dogs. Gus is very friendly, playful and still thinks he’s a puppy! He’s also good at listening when another dog lets him know they’ve had enough. I’d always arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable.

About: I've grown up around animals and have had pets in the house for as long as I can remember, so looking after someone else's dog or cat feels completely natural to me rather than like a job. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter trays and a bit of company, and overnight or house sitting when you're away. I work from home, which means I'm around during the day and pets in my care aren't left on their own for hours at a time. It also makes me genuinely flexible. I can take early mornings, evenings, weekends and short-notice bookings that other sitters often can't. What you can expect from me: I turn up when I say I will, I stick to your pet's normal routine rather than imposing my own, and I'll send photo updates so you can see how they're getting on. Happy to give medication, handle nervous or older animals gently, and take as long as you need over a meet-and-greet first so both you and your pet are comfortable before anything is booked. I work from home, so pet care fits into my day rather than around it. I can do early morning, midday and evening visits without rushing between them, and I'm available weekdays and weekends including short notice, the bookings people with fixed office hours have to turn down. For house sitting I stay at your place for the whole booking, so your pet keeps their normal routine, sleeps in their own bed and isn't left alone overnight. I'll agree exact visit times with you in advance and stick to them. I look after pets in your home only, I don't board animals at mine. That's deliberate: your pet never has to settle into a strange house or meet unfamiliar animals, which takes a lot of the stress out of you going away. In your home I follow your setup exactly: same feeding routine, same food, same rules about which rooms they're allowed in, doors locked and windows shut every time I leave. I'll ask you to walk me through it all at the meet-and-greet and I write it down rather than trusting my memory. Dogs go out on lead and harness unless you've told me otherwise. I treat your keys and alarm code as confidential and never share your address. You'll get a photo and a short update after every visit, so you always know what's happened. If anything concerns me, off their food, limping, just not themselves I'll tell you straight away and I'll have your vet's details to hand.

About: I have always had dogs in my life since being a young child. I have owned different breeds from smaller sized dogs to larger ones and know how to care for them even if there playful puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I currently work from home mon- Friday. (9-5) and can do any time after work. My days off are Saturdays and Sundays and will be free during that time. Your dog will be welcomed into a friendly, safe, and loving environment. We have one dog in the home who is very sociable and gets along well with other dogs, making it a great space for pets who enjoy company. Our home is calm and pet-friendly, with plenty of space inside for dogs to relax, nap, or play. We also have a large, fully fenced garden where your dog can safely enjoy the outdoors and burn off some energy under supervision.
“Mathew was amazing with Rocco. It was our first time leaving him and we were a little anxious but he put us at ease and you could tell Rocco really enjoyed his stay as he didn't want to leave! Will definitely use Mathew again! Thankyou”

“Well what can I say Milo loves his Auntie Sally! Sally stayed 2 nights at my home with Milo the 5yr old Yorkie whilst I was at my best friend’s wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. Our house was safe and my baby boy was well looked after. He’s smitten. Whenever I have to leave him again Auntie Sally will be top of the list for my boy :) P.s. I lubs you Auntie Sally- love Milo xx”

“Just back from a 5-day break and my dog and cat look so happy and well looked after that it doesn't seem we've been away! Jade sent loads of pics and updates as well Deffo recommend and will be using her services again 😚”

About: Hi, my name is Aamina, I don’t think there’s ever been a point in my life where I haven’t been surrounded by animals, I’m studying vet medicine at the university for Nottingham I am extremely passionate about animal welfare and care and have experience in handling and husbandry of all animals from cats, dogs, lizards and bunnies I have my own cat, Olive (the adorable-ist thing in my profile picture) and so I have a lot of experience with clearing litter, feeding appropriate portions and administering oral medicine.

About: Hi! I am a very passionate animal lover with genuine love for caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Since a very young age i have had empathy for animals and that has never changed, and nothing makes me happier than the thought of providing that care and making sure they are safe, loved and comfortable while you’re away. Im a proud owner of a wonderful cat and dog who i absolutely adore, so i understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention and care tailored their individual needs. Weather that be, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company i am committed to providing the care and making sure you have a peace of mind. I cant wait to meet you and your beloved pets! As a part time university student i have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time during the week, since im not working alongside my studies i am available to do, drop in visits, overnight stays, walks and giving your pets the companionship they need. When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I understand that pets are happiest in familiar surroundings so i will do my very best to make sure they receive the same love, attention and care they’re used to.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13, been a very responsible owner and always cared for my pet’s wellbeing. No matter if it is my family dog, or my roommate’s cat, or a dog sitting request, I always pay full attention and care and love for our furry friends! I understand the struggle and the separation anxiety when it comes to dogs as my Dor Dor was a rescue and have lived a full and happy life before she went to doggy heaven. Having animal companions helps me stay active and joyous in caring for them, I love going on long walks and so it is quite a win win situation for you and me! I mainly work from home during the week, which is perfect for pets who requires more attention and separation anxiety as I can be in person and as attentive and caring as possible! Since I live by myself, there are no pets or roommates to surprise your dogs. My home is located right next to a huge park which is perfect for long walks or frequent walks!

“Hazel looked after my two cats for two weeks and did an absolutely excellent job! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even bought them some little toys, which they absolutely adore! When I got home, the cats were happy and relaxed, which was a clear sign that their routine had been followed and that they had experienced no stress while I was away. It’s reassuring to know they were in such caring and capable hands. Once again, Hazel has proved what a fantastic job she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily have her look after my cats again!”

We Cannot Thank Freya & her partner enough for looking after our fur baby while we was away on our family holiday, Chase is a very loving dog who always wants lots of cuddles and attention and also loves to run. They took him out multiple times a day and sent pictures of him playing which made us feel at ease and also our property was just as clean as we left it ! We will definitely be using Freya again for our next trip !!

Joanne is so lovely, we felt really comfortable leaving our princess in Joanne's safe hands. To be able to go out and know Rosie was being looked after by someone so kind and lovely was a massive relief and made the evening even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend Joanne for your fur babies and will definitely use Joanne again. Thanks Joanne

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Oldham walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oldham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
