Zobia was excellent with my cat whilst I was away for a few days. Usually my cat tends not to go to other people, but Zobia managed to win her over straight away and got kisses, head bumps and some cuddles. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience, and I will definitely be using her services again, if needed.

Lauren was yet again amazing, second time I have booked her and left nothing to be desired. She plays with the cats and gives them plenty of love, she shares updates every day with pictures and she does everything she needs to for their care.

Solveig as always is the very best of pet sitters I have ever encountered! She takes such good care of Eros and is very easy and efficient to communicate with. If you have the chance to book with Solveig, absolutely do and you will have the most stress free vacation!

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!

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.

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: 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!

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 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’m a registered veterinary nurse and have worked with animals since I was 15. We’ve always had pets in our home and currently have a German short haired pointer called Bonnie and two cats we’ve rescued. I love walking and training our dogs. 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 a 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 have always grown up around dogs with my parents having dogs since I was little. Since moving out me and my partner have now gotten a dog together. I love animals and enjoying taking care of them. I currently work from home three days a week and will update my calendar accordingly so have the availability in the week to help those days. I can be available in the evenings also just drop me a message! I am available most weekends & update my availability weekly. If your pet is to come to mine I have a big fenced garden with my own dog to play with yours! If your dog isn't great with other dogs no worries, we struggled with my dog at first as he has anxiety but working with him he is great now. I know how to handle dogs whether they need a cuddle or want to be left alone or if dogs are protective over food etc I can handle this as my parents dog is the same.

Usually our cat doesn't like new people and hides from them but Lauren had him out and being playful. The photos she sent of him were lovely and looked like he was enjoying her company.

I cannot thank Zobia enough she was absolutely amazing! I was so anxious about leaving my cat in the hands of someone else for the first time but Zobia came round first to meet my cat popeye as he’s a nervous cat he’s blind with only one eye and she made me feel at ease straight away! She knew exactly how to handle him and I think he actually looked forward to her coming round everyday! She played with him even asked me if she could bring treats round for him whilst I was away which is the best way to win him over! She sent updates everyday on how he’s doing with picture updates which made me feel at ease that he was doing okay! Will 100% be rebooking and for anyone who is as nervous as me about leaving your cat I couldn’t recommend Zobia enough 🥰

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.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

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.

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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
