House Sitting Rochdale

“Solveig was a brilliant house sitter! The dogs took to her so well, and given one of our dogs was recovering from an operation, she took extra care to ensure the healing process was going well. Solveig sent loads of great pictures from dog walks, they both had a great time! I'd definitely use Solveig again, thanks!!”

“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: 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: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with two amazing dogs of my own who mean the absolute world to me. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly adore them — they’re my biggest weakness! When your dog is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I’ll make sure they feel completely at home, with lots of cuddles, attention, and playtime. Whether it’s a chilled-out day or an active adventure, I’ll tailor the experience to your dog’s personality and needs. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and getting the best care possible — just like I’d want for my own. I’d also like you to know that I will completely respect your house whilst your away, any rules you have please tell me, if you’ve got plants i’ll water them etc. Feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. I can’t wait to meet your pup! The images on my bio show a number of dogs i’ve had the pleasure to either own as a pet, take on walks and dog sit. I’m currently doing an apprenticeship in engineering so my job requires me to work Monday-Thursdays. This is good because i’m available Fridays-Sundays which is great for a little weekend getaway! I have a car so don’t worry if you’re difficult to get too, i don’t mind. This also means i can take your dog to the best spots for walks and adventures! Weekends are definitely preffered I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and happiest. I stick to their routine, give them loads of love, cuddles, and playtime. All you need to do is tell me what their specific needs are and they will be met!

“Sumaiyah took really great care of Iggy and I would definitely book her again. She has experience with both cats and dogs which was great because I have a cat who is still getting used to having Iggy around. She also kept me updated through the day with photos & videos which I really appreciated.”

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.

“Zobia is a very lovely and kind lady who treated our little Stormy with love. She sent lots of updates and photos and made him feel safe and secure in our absence. Thank you so much ❤ we will use you again in the future”

“Robin took such great care of my dog, Glen, while I was away for a long weekend. All of his needs were taken into account, he got plenty of walks and fusses, and super enjoyed having his own lil holiday. I also got lots of pics and updates so I knew he was OK. Super rec Robin to any owners looking for a reliable and responsible and caring sitter!”

“Toni was brilliant at looking after my 3 cats over the weekend. She stayed overnight, followed all my instructions and the communication was great: sent me picture updates and answered all my anxiety questions. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future! ✨”

“Sam was amazing. She was able to take our Whippet Blu for a last minute over night stay. She even picked him up super early so that we could get on the road for our trip. We loved seeing the photos that she posted and updates while we were gone. I love that she has pups for Blu to play with during his stay. Thanks Sam, we will see you again.”

About: While I didn’t grow up with dogs in my house, I’ve spent years dog sitting and looking after friends’ and family’s dogs whenever they go away, including regularly caring for my cousin’s dog. Because I work for myself from home, I’m able to be around throughout the day rather than being out for hours on end, which means plenty of companionship, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime & lots of affection. I know every pet is different, so I’ll always follow your routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and settled. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work for myself from home, so pet care fits naturally around my day rather than being squeezed into a couple of spare hours. I’m around throughout the day to provide company, regular toilet breaks, walks, feeding & playtime and I’m flexible with drop offs and collections where possible. Because I’m self employed, your dog will rarely be left alone and can slot straight into their usual routine. I provide a calm, safe & loving environment where your dog’s wellbeing always comes first. As I work from home, I can supervise them throughout the day, stick to their usual routine & give them plenty of attention. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“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”

About: A loving family home with years of pet care experience, I have two lovely children who will make your pets feel at home. Also nice garden and plenty of walking routes nearby I can easily fit dog sitting into my routine because of my flexible work schedule and the fact that my partner works from home full-time. I work at the airport on a rotating 5 days on, 3 days off schedule, with shifts from either 4:30 am–1:30 pm or 12:30 pm–9:30 pm. This means I’m always home early in the day or have the whole morning free, giving me plenty of time to care for a dog. On top of that, my partner is always home during the day, so the dog would never be left unattended. Between my early finishes, days off, and our consistent presence at home, we can provide a reliable, structured, and loving environment for a dog. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around them. Having a dog’s company in my home is something I truly enjoy, and I believe it’s a much more comfortable and reassuring option than kennels. My home has a large, secure back garden where dogs can happily roam in and out as they please, and I’m also perfectly placed for walks—living right across from a park and just five minutes from Heaton Park. With so much space and plenty of opportunity for exercise, dogs in my care are guaranteed both comfort and adventure.

About: Hi, I’m Chelsea, a lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands on experience across dogs and cats of every size and temperament. At home I have one cat and two german shepherds, one of the GSDs is a cross breed with a golden retriever at the ages of 5 and 9 so I know large and working breeds and have experience in handling and training dogs who are anxious and reactive, I will understand their energy, their training needs, and how to keep them settled and happy. I’m confident with big dogs, nervous dogs and anything in between. I’m also happy to take cats for walks who are trained in this. I have experience with giving animals medication including my own cat when I rescued her, and my dogs after operations and injuries. Beyond my own, I’ve fostered and rescued cats, including supporting one through labour and the birth of her litter. I’ve also I’ve also sat for a wide range of dogs and cats over the years, from shy rescues to boisterous puppies, and I adapt my approach to whatever each pet needs to feel comfortable. Whether your pet needs an experienced hand with a reactive breed, gentle care for a senior dog, or just a sitter who won’t bat an eye at the unexpected, I’d love to help. Your pet’s wellbeing and comfort always come first. I’m a musician so my schedule is flexible and non-traditional, often free during standard working hours when others are at their 9-5. My availability is high thanks to working from home between gigs, so I can offer regular check-ins, walks, or extended visits without a rigid clock-in/clock-out routine. I care for pets as if they were my own. At home I have two German Shepherds (5 and 9) and a cat, so I understand multi-pet households and how to keep everyone settled. I’m experienced with medication and post-op care, so I’m comfortable managing any health needs during visits. I keep routines consistent, watch closely for signs of stress and can adapt to whatever makes each pet feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

About: I'm an animal lover, having owned dogs and cats throughout the years. People who trust me with their pets appreciate my care and attention to doing things the owners way; I believe it is so important to help your animal stick to a routine they feel comfortable with. I'm very flexible, I love long walks with dogs but am happy to just have a cuddle if that's more their vibe. I understand that dogs and cats need time to get to know me and am happy going at their pace. Please contact me if you think I'm the right fit for your animal! I'm currently studying for a PhD which gives me the flexibility to adapt to pet owners needs. I can be around for a midday walk when you have to be at work all day, or I can stop by in the evening to feed your pet if you've got plans. I can work with your animal in their normal environment and I take care too be respectful if your space. I make sure to follow instructions as I understand that all animals are different and have different needs. I will clean up any mess myself and the animal makes whilst I'm looking after them, and I'm more than happy to help you out of you need your bin taking out or if there odd things whilst I'm there. I just want to give owners peace of mind that their property and pets are safe and looked after whilst they are not there.
