“????? I cannot thank Zobia enough for the incredible care she provided for Snowy. Her dedication and love for animals truly shone through every interaction. From the adorable photo updates and thoughtful messages to going above and beyond by cleaning the litter trays and taking care of the general waste, Zobia exceeded all expectations. Snowy was showered with affection and attention, and it warmed my heart to know she was in such good hands. Zobia even took the time to feed the stray cat that visits our home, showing her compassion for all animals. Her punctuality and willingness to help with anything made the entire experience stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Zobia to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and devoted cat sitter. Thank you, Zobia, for treating Snowy like family! ?❤️" YOU are family to us. ? ? ❤️ Looking forward to seeing you again soon xxxx”
“Lauren was amazing! She looked after my three cats exactly like I hoped she would, she sent me daily updates and showed them a lot of affection! She made sure they not just had food but also a good play and human interaction to keep them happy. ”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Andrew provided for our cat, Phoebe, while we were away. From the very beginning, Andrew was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to Phoebe’s needs. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Phoebe was in such caring hands. When we returned, Phoebe was calm, happy, and clearly well looked after — her litter was clean, food and water were fresh, and she even seemed to have enjoyed the extra playtime and cuddles. Andrew went above and beyond, and it made all the difference. We feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and genuinely caring sitter. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family members. Thank you again, Andrew — Phoebe can’t wait to see you next time!”
“Thank you so much Freya for taking care of Orca and Finn while I was away. I would definitely book Freya again. Communication was great and she was very caring to my cats.”
About: Hi my name is Martyna and I live in Greater Manchester, Rochdale. My family has a little teddy bear Pomeranian named Ruby for the last 8 years and I lover her SO much. When I was at University I would make my sister send me pictures and video updates on her. I've always loved animals and enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout their stay. Whether your dog loves being active or prefers a quieter environment, I'm happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home while you're away. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well looked after. With new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before accepting a booking request to make sure everyone is comfortable and it's a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! PROMPT RESPONSES Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as I currently have a flexible schedule. I am due to graduate from university at the end of July and am on a zero-hour contract with a real estate firm, where I am typically booked in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with additional days depending on workload and auction schedules. Outside of this, I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to provide consistent care, visits, and attention throughout the week. My routine is generally adaptable, so I can plan pet care around existing commitments to ensure I am reliable and punctual. Because of this flexibility, I am able to offer a good level of availability during weekdays and can accommodate regular routines, feeding schedules, and any specific care needs. I prioritise safety, trust, and consistency in both my own home and the owner’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. When caring in a client’s home, I am respectful, tidy, and mindful that I am in their pet’s familiar environment. I make sure all doors, windows, and access points are secure before leaving, and I pay close attention to keeping pets safe and comfortable at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are more independent or require extra attention and reassurance. I aim to create a calm and stable environment so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect, ensuring owners can feel confident and at ease throughout the booking.
About: I’m a registered veterinary nurse and have worked with animals since I was 15. I love walking with my boyfriend’s two cocker spaniels Maggie and Billie and currently have a cat I rescued called Martha. I currently have a few pets on my books that need special care and giving medications too and love looking after any senior dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible and my mum also helps out with pet sitting care when needed. I work shifts but as long as I have notice I’m happy to walk/house sit any days of the week currently as my work can be flexible. Our house is pet friendly and we have quite a large garden that’s all fenced off. We also live with field access outside our home which helps when taking them out for walks

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from fish, cats, dogs and horses. True animal lover. I have my own pooch who to me is like a child, very spoilt and cared for. I'm now retired and have plenty of time to help fur mummy's or daddy's go to work without worrying about leaving their fur babies for long periods of time. I'm a trustworthy person who will help keep your pet active and comfortable throughout the day 🙂 I'm retired plenty of time to help fur parents get on with their day to day lives or to enjoy free time to do something they like doing best. I have a fenced garden with grassed areas surrounding my home. We go the park lots and the beach when possible. My dog Alfie is very sociable and will mix with other small dogs. He has the run of our home and will sleep on my bed or my lap. He loves his treats and squeaky toys and zoomies!!
About: Hi! I'm a 26 year old university graduate based in Greater Manchester. I have experience with different domestic animals, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, and even some insects. I absolutely adore every animal I've cared for and have taken pride in providing a caring and enriching experience for each one. I love learning about each animal and their behaviour to provide them with a fun and comfortable environment whilst their loved ones are away. I have previously owned rabbits, stick insects, a hamster, and I currently have an American bully puppy who is a family pet and does not accompany me on sits. If you have a large dog I only require that they are well behaved on a lead. I’m currently quite flexible and will be focussed on caring for your pets during my time with them, including lots of play time and attention. I like to stick to your pets usual schedule so they experience the least amount of disruption possible. So just let me know what their usual day looks like. I will always look after your home, water plants, take bins out and anything else you may need whilst I’m caring for your pet. I’ll provide as many updates and photos as you’d like to reassure you that your pets are in great hands.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have regularly cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, playtime and giving dogs plenty of attention and care. I’m reliable, patient and always make sure dogs feel safe, happy and comfortable while they’re in my care. I work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility during the week. I’m available for walks, visits, and boarding, including weekends and evenings. I have a secure fenced garden and a calm pet-friendly home. I always prioritise safety, supervision and comfort when looking after a dog depending on what they need.
About: Hi, I’m Louisa a 25 year old homeware designer by day and cat mum to Pep and Isla my British Short hair kitties! I have always had furry friends around me from a young age and currently mum to a 1 yr old Pep and 4 month old Isla. New to the area me and my partner got the cats to make our house a home so I understand the importance of looking after your fur baby whilst you’re away making them and you as comfortable as possible.
About: About me: Hi! I'm Libby and I live in a semi-detached house in Manchester,I have just over 5 years of experience house sitting, boarding and walking other people's pets. Most of my experience comes from friends and family but I have now started to be recommended to others which is why I've started up my profile on Rover. I've included some pictures of our lovely garden as its fenced in and private, so doggies are free to play out there as much as they like. (we even have a doggy pool for the summer). pets can have free roam of the house and sleep wherever they feel comfortable. And of course, your furry friend will never be left alone in the house. Walking: I go on hikes and walks every weekend so i can of course bring them along, I've added a lot of walks i have done this month while pet sitting and walking to my gallery and i update them every month 😊. For those little ones or older ones who can't quite handle a large hike i have a woods right behind my house which is perfect for a little run around and explore so just let us know. Experience: I have boarded and walked all breeds from chihuahuas to Dobermans and have a little extra knowledge in elderly dogs and those who need a little extra care. I can administer oral medication as my own dog takes it daily so I have experience with this. F&Q: Meet and greets for all new clients are available if you would like to look round the house and meet us both. During summer I do not walk dogs in the daytime, they are free to sunbathe and run around in the garden as we have a doggy pool and cooling matts for them to cool off on, but all walks will be during the evening when it cools down. I do pet sit rodents also so just give me a message. I work 9-5 Mon - Fri so I only provide dog walking services on the weekend. For boarding I am available Friday - Sunday, I have no other responsibilities so I will be there all day. During a pets stay in my home, my home is their home so they are free to roam about and sleep where they want, to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I want the weekend to feel like your furry friend gets a holiday too, so they will be spoilt with days out, treats and lots of company. I also will update you everyday with lots of photos.
“Cannot recommend Charlotte more!! Zara loves her and probably the visits are the highlight of her week. Charlotte is patient and understanding of Zara’s need and keeps us updated with regular pictures throughout.”

This is my second time using Zobia and I could not be happier with her service!! I feel so at ease when I know she’s checking on my cat whilst I’m away!! She messaged me to ask if she could leave the tv on for him to make him more comfortable with some background noise whilst I wasn’t there! I love the check ins she does everyday and they are all so in detail with lots of picture updates! I will 100% recommend Zobia for anyone who is like me nervous leaving their cat whilst going away so a massive thank you to Zobia for making me feel at ease!! Xx
Sally was amazing from the introduction visit to looking after Bella she was great. Bella who is timid normally, went straight to Sally! Sally sent a video & photos during my time away (only a couple of days this time ). Clearly Bella trusted Sally & that was very important to me. I shall definitely use Sally again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rochdale on Rover is £13 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £20 per Visit.
sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,872 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Rochdale. About 93% of Rochdale sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
