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 had never left Tilly with anyone who was not family before and had a limited period to find a siiter (7 days) but the first time we met Jennifer we were immediately reassured. Whilst away we were updated daily via photos and videos which showed a happy contented dog- in fact Tilly looked more contented with Jennifer than with us!!! We came back to a clean and tidy house but more importantly a perfectly healthy and happy dog. We would not hesitate in using Jennifer again- in fact we are already planning trips away working around Jennifer and would highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have long relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. I truly love animals and prioritize giving them the same care and attention I would give my own. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility and dedicated time to play with, exercise, and closely supervise your dogs! I am fully available for overnight boarding on weekends. On weekdays, my schedule opens up completely after 2:00 PM, making me perfect for afternoon walks, playdates, and evening care. I can easily adapt to your pet's regular feeding and potty routines. I love making pets feel right at home, whether they are staying with me or in their own familiar space! I stick closely to their favorite routines, feeding times, and potty schedules so they feel safe and comfortable. You can expect lots of belly rubs, fun playtime, and plenty of cute photo updates while you are away!

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: As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve loved and cared for both cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. My current busy home includes a high-energy Sprocker Spaniel, two large rescue dogs, and two cats of my own—a mix that has taught me a wealth of patience and a deep understanding of animal behavior and co-existing temperaments. Because I work from home full-time (9–5) here in Rochdale, I can offer your pets constant companionship and a reliable routine. Whether I'm house sitting, popping in for cat feeding and litter duties, or heading out for a dog walk, your furry family members will receive the exact same dedicated, attentive care that I give my own My routine is highly pet-friendly and adaptable. I work from home full-time Monday to Friday (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM), meaning I am on hand to provide constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and a consistent routine—with the exception of just one day every two weeks when I commute to the office. For walks and drop-in visits, I am fully available before 9:00 AM and can easily accommodate short-notice requests during the day thanks to my highly flexible lunch hour. I am also fully mobile with my own vehicle on weekends, meaning I can easily travel a bit further for house sitting, accommodate last-minute weekend requests, or safely transport your pet if needed Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Running a multi-pet home with a spaniel, two large rescues, and two cats has made me highly vigilant about animal body language, group dynamics, and secure environments. I maintain a strictly pet-safe, escape-proof home, and I bring that same level of caution when caring for your animals. Whether I am adjusting to a rescue dog's unique triggers on a walk, or keeping a watchful eye during a house sit, I treat your pets with the same patience, respect, and protective care that I give my own

About: With over six years of hands-on experience working on a petting farm from the age of 14 to 20, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals — from livestock to a variety of dog breeds. Growing up in a dog-loving home, especially with high-energy breeds like collies, has given me a deep understanding of canine behaviour, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s providing calm companionship or active playtime, I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work full time as a teacher but I am free most weekends and evenings! This also means I’m off during school holidays all day so can cater for all pet needs in that time! I have a fenced yard with a border collie. Our home is dog and pet friendly! We live close to good walks for all the doggy walking needs!

Fantastic. Ketsia met with the dogs (4 poodles) and they got on like a house on fire. The dogs were completely comfortable in her company. I will book her again without hesitation.

Holly and Ryan are absolutely amazing! They looked after our two dogs (both with their own little problems) and they made them both so comfortable and at ease while we were away! They kept us updated regularly and we came home to two happy pups who were sad to see them leave ❤️ Could not recommend highly enough.

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!

About: I provide reliable and caring pet sitting services, treating every pet as if they were my own. I ensure dogs are fed on schedule, have constant access to fresh water, receive plenty of exercise, and get the attention and affection they need while their owners are away. I am committed to maintaining pets’ routines, keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment, and giving owners peace of mind that their beloved companions are safe, happy, and well cared for. We have had family dogs most of my life. I currently walk friends and families dogs, I look after a few dogs when the owners are away.

Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I take pride in providing a safe, fun, and positive experience for every dog in my care. I would pet sit at the dogs home, in their own environment. If I was to have the dog in my home the garden is secure & very spacious.

About: I have often cared for doggies and cats of many kinds, for neighbours so walking, feeding, bathing and caring for them is something I have always enjoyed within my life. I am also looking to expand my experiences with different pets, and make more memories. I am currently a university student, at The University of Central Lancashire. I always have plenty of time to care for pets in the evenings, whether that be walking or caring for them for a set period of time. I am able to take on roles and accommodate them across Greater Manchester, due to having a student dorm in Preston and then my family home in Heywood. Although not having a pet myself currently, I did have a Yorkshire terrier who has unfortunately passed. Benji will always hold a place in my heart. My home and neighbourhood is very pet friendly. My home is large, with plenty space for pets to explore and not only my garden but many fields across the road where the pet may play.

This is the first time we’ve left George with anyone but grandparents for our holiday and I was so nervous but could not have asked for more. We got photos and video updates which were lovely to receive, they cared for George during the heatwave with such love making him ice lollies and late night walks. Highly recommend and will be booking again xx

FAQs for House Sitting - Rochdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Rochdale on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,768 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rochdale. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rochdale 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 Rochdale 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. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
