“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.”

“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: 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 others get on with their own work 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!!
“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!”


“Just wanted to say a big thanks to Yonja, Who was 100% reliable, and kept me updated everyday. My Cat Toby was given his favourite meals/treats twice a day, and looked so well when I arrived home. Yonja was so helpful and polite, I would be more than happy to have her look after Toby again.”
“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.”

“Alex was fantastic, she took excellent care of our cat, Millie, whilst we were away on holiday. Millie clearly took to Alex too as she's usually a bit fussy but gave Alex lots of cuddles and play time.”


“Anita provided excellent care for our cat Luna, while we were on holiday. The information and photographs she sent were very reassuring and made our holiday better knowing she was well looked after. I would thoroughly recommend Anita to anyone looking for drop in visits for their pet.”

“I can't thank you enough for taking such amazing care of my cat while I was away on holiday. It was so reassuring knowing my cat was in such loving and capable hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-looked-after pet. I would highly recommend your service to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again!”

“Solveig is a delightful cat sitter. Communicating with her is clear and easy. Our cat Eros adores her and is always content when we are back, a happy cat. I can’t recommend Solveig enough, this was our third booking and it always runs as smoothly as it possibly could.”

About: I’m a registered veterinary nurse with extra qualifications in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. I have a springer spaniel, cocker spaniel and Labrador myself. I’m confident in giving a variety of medications and look forward to meeting all of your pets soon. I currently work in practice Monday to Thursday but still have time to provide enough care and cuddles. Friday to Sunday I’m free to spend all day with your pets. All dog walks included. Medication administration included. Happy with all pets of all shapes and sizes. Confident with all temprements and experienced in nervous pets.
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 a 25 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: 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: 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: 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!

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.

I had Nicola look after my little treasure Bella (Tuxedo cat) for four days while I had a short break. Nicola came tor an introductory visit first & Bella who is a timid little girl until she gets to know you, came out as soon as I gave Nicola a couple of treats to give to Bella. I knew then that they would be fine & Bella would be well looked after. Bella was really well looked after & I will certainly be having Nicola again. I am very happy with the care given.

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!

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.
