Lauren was yet again perfect cat sitter! When she came to collect the key, one of my cats recognised her ran up to her and started seeking affection. Lauren spends time with the cats and makes sure they are cared for.

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!

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’m a registered veterinary nurse and have worked with animals since I was 15.

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: 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 was completely fantastic with my cat. We went away for 7 days and I had let her know that he is anxious and that it worried me to leave him. Immediately they hit it off and I had never seen him so affectionate towards a new person! Zobia is kind, caring, nurturing, attentive and made sure he was happy and well looked after. We got regular pictures and updates which helped ease my concerns too! Would highly recommend Zobia

About: I have had two pet dogs myself so your dogs care is my priority I don't see them anything less than what they are. Family. I adore dogs and would love opportunities to see various breeds and sizes. My experience includes care of Two Labradors, a German shepherd, a husky mix, a mastiff crossbreed, a shih tzu, a springer spaniel and I've had interactions with various breeds of puppy. My own pet had diabetes therefore I have experience handling medications and injections if that is a service you would require. I'm currently undertaking a dog training qualification to become a certified dog trainer. Being around dogs and caring for them comes second nature to me and I have always been told I have a way with them. Therefore you can trust completely that under my care they'll be nothing but loved and safe. I seeking a career working with dogs. So therefore I can dedicate my time to fit around your schedule and build up a relationship and clientship. I have no pets currently so you can be rest assured that your pet has all the attention they could ever need. I'll carry out on-boarding checks before handling any of your pets. Like medication, temperament, care needs, socialisation and aptitude. I won't do anything that you do not wish for your pet.

About: I specialise in caring for cats in their own home environment, including shy, anxious, or independent cats. I understand cat body language and always respect their space, routine, and comfort. I’m confident with feeding schedules, litter trays, and giving medication if needed. I am available to work during the weekend. However, during the week days I work from 8:30-4:30. So I cannot do those hours. Weekend is good! I have a secure gate in my house. It is a tall gate. But it is better I take the pet around for walks as I live next to a big field great for walking the dog!!

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.

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

Joanna took great care of our pets during our weekend away. She took the time to find out what the cats liked (toys etc) before the visit and was great at keeping us informed throughout our trip. Our cats took to Joanna straight away and it was reassuring to know they were in good hands!

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 occured. 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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Rochdale pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
