About: Cats😺 I have been a proud cat mom for the past year and I adore my cat, Muffin. Before getting her, I spent a lot of time researching cat care to ensure that I could give her the best possible life. Since then I have continued learning and building my knowledge every day. I am particularly experienced with kittens and Ragdolls. I understand their personalities, needs, and how important routine, gentle handling, and attention are. Caring for my own cat has made me very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to feeding, hygiene, playtime, and wellbeing. Dogs 🐶 I have grown up as a dog owner and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I am experienced in daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, cuddles, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I am very comfortable looking after dogs and I will go above and beyond to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both large and small breeds both younger and older. 💕 I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect that every pet has their own routine, preferences and personality. I am more than happy to receive detailed instructions and I will never judge anyone for being particular about their pets care. As someone who is very specific about my own pets routine, I completely understand how important this is. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care, if preferred, so you can feel reassured and connected whilst you are away. I will treat your fur baby with the same level of care, patience, and affection as I do my own! I am a university student, however I have finished university until the next academic year, therefore I am very flexible with my availability to take excellent care of your pet! If there are any days you would like to book and it appears as unavailable on my schedule please feel free to message me and I will try to accommodate those dates for you :) Note: 3rd-14th August I will be unavailable during weekdays. I will still be available on weekends during this time. Thank You :) I am not currently offering services in my own home, however I will implement safety measures when taking care of your pet in your home. As an indoor-cat owner, I appreciate the importance of keeping indoor pets safe. I will always follow your instructions carefully when caring for your pet, and no matter their routine, preferences or lifestyle, indoor or outdoor, I will respect this and follow this carefully. I would always appreciate clear instructions and any emergency contacts (such as a vet or family member) for peace of mind.
About: Hi there! We’re Sofia & Julia, a young couple living in Salford. We both have plenty of experience looking after dogs (including puppies), and we’ve loved every minute of it. We’re really patient and reliable and we really really love pets, so we will make sure we love and care for your little ones as if they were ours! 🐾 We have a pretty flexible work schedule, and we will ensure one of us is off work when we look after your pet. Our goal is for them to have our full attention when they’re with us! We are pretty flexible in terms of dropping off and picking up times, and we’re definitely open to host your pet overnight, and/or for a few days at a time. We can ensure they would never be left alone and we would dedicate them all of our time. We live in a flat, but we have a fenced car park which has some grass areas for short toilet breaks. There is also a large park two minutes down the road for their walks. We have a spare room where the animal could have their own space if needed, either loose or in its kennel.
“Chloe dropped in twice to see my cat whilst I was away. She was fantastic. Great communication, really lovely and sent lots of pictures and videos! Definitely would recommend:)”
“I booked daily drops ins for my cat George while I was on holiday. Andrea visited has per arrangement each day and followed the routine that George is used too. She kept me up to date with messages and photos. It was evident on my return home that George had been well taken care off. I would definitely rebook and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies from young ages. I’m very attentive and responsible and will be sending regular photo updates for peace of mind I’m currently working part time mostly on weekends so I’m free most of the week to take care of any pets and go on walks with them in a lovely nearby park or walk path. I love to go on walks so they would be great company! I have a safe and secure apartment in a gated community and live next to a quiet estate for lovely walks. I have a clean and tidy apartment and car suitable for them, to ensure peace of mind about their safety.
About: I grew up with two cats since age 10, and whilst I've never been able to own my own dog (parents had allergies) I alwayd loved taking my friends dogs for walks. Now I have a flat I am keen to interact with pets again I work a hybrid job, and can choose the days I work from home, do with advanced noticed can sit most days. I tend to walk 1 hour at lunch and 2 hours after work, so more than happy to take on dogs with high energy/ need long walks I have an open kitchen/living space, with fake plants (no toxic flowers etc) and all food stored securely away in cupboards. The whole apartment is pet friendly with shared fenced gardens and beautiful local parks/ walks. The space is regularly cleaned, and is a safe quiet environments for pets
“We had a wonderful experience with PUI YAN (IRIS) looking after our two cats, Chelsea and Felix. She took great care of them while we were away, making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention. She kept us updated with messages, lots of videos and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and respected their different personalities. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and everything was just as we left it. We would happily recommend PUI YAN Y to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Chelsea and Felix!”
“Olivia was fantastic with our dog Layla. She came to meet Layla beforehand, which we really appreciated. She then looked after Layla in our home and was reliable throughout, with great communication. We would happily recommend Olivia and would definitely book her again.”
“Sofie has started drop ins with my rescue dog Rita, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Rita has always been super anxious with people coming in the house, but she already loves Sofie after a couple of visits. That's testament to Sofie's patience and how much she cares about dogs.”
About: I grew up on a farm where my parents were dog breeders, so caring for animals—puppies, seniors, and everything in between—has been part of my daily life since I was a kid. I’m comfortable with all breeds, energy levels, and special needs, whether it’s administering meds, handling training basics, or giving extra love to older pups. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I treat every pet like family! I work from home so I could take care of your pet during my hours. I am doing 10k steps daily so I would love to walk with your buddy to entertain each other hah. I do not have a dog, I was just a student who finished University last year so I surely would need your leash and all equipments required.
About: Full time dog sitter. I’ve been taking care of animals from a young age and I’m very passionate about them, I took to volunteering at a dog hotel because I wanted to be in that environment and learn to care for them, and have been caring for peoples pets for a long time ! I’m currently on my summer break before my final year at university, however I have been taking care of peoples pets during my term times and always make time to ensure the animals feel love and cared for especially while their parents are away !

“Thank you so much Audrey for taking care of Dexter for me and my family while we were away. To know that Dexter was so well cared for, being able to see your lovely photos of him playing, your detailed and timely reports, and your overall style of care, meant we never had to worry about our family pet. Thank you so much.”
“I was working late so Faye popped over to check on Mika and she was brilliant, gave her food and had a play, and sent me loads of pictures and videos/updates, was so reassuring, would have her back anytime and I’m sure Mika would too🐈🥰”
About: I had a family dog for 9 years that I looked after a lot, I am very good with meeting new dogs and making them feel at ease around me. I am a first year university student at Salford, I had a dog growing up and have lots of experience with dogs. I would like to spend some time with some cute dogs and get some walks in while in Uni to wind down after studying hard. I'm mainly available in the evening and weekends, but I am flexible for doing walks or hangouts on my more free days if I have a few hours <3 I am happy to come out and look after your fur baby while you're away/busy, I am always wanting to get more time with dogs but will make sure everything is safe first and foremost <3
About: Since 2018 myself and my family opened our home to dog sitting. I have done long and short stays including just for the day as well as dog walking too. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule, which allows me to balance time between home and the office. On days I work from home, I’m available for pet care throughout the day, including walks, feeding, and companionship. My schedule also allows me to plan ahead, so I can commit to regular visits or stays and ensure pets get consistent, reliable care during the week and on weekends. I provide care in the pet owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm, safe atmosphere while maintaining the home respectfully. I’m also attentive to any changes in behaviour or health and will keep owners updated regularly for peace of mind. I also have experience handling a variety of dogs on the lead and am confident managing different behaviours during walks. I understand how to approach situations where a dog may feel nervous or unsure, and I always prioritise their comfort and safety while helping them feel at ease.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! They were reliable, caring and clearly loved our cat, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and it was lovely knowing she was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again. 🐾❤️
I booked daily drops ins for my cat George while I was on holiday. Andrea visited has per arrangement each day and followed the routine that George is used too. She kept me up to date with messages and photos. It was evident on my return home that George had been well taken care off. I would definitely rebook and highly recommend.
Kiran was absolutely wonderful and everything you could ask for in a cat sitter! She was so attentive and took such great care of Storm while I was away. She communicated really well throughout my whole trip and sent me lots of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable knowing Storm was in such good hands. I would 100% recommend Kiran as a cat sitter and will definitely be using her again! 🐱💕
Rachel took excellent care of our elderly indoor cat Geoffrey. He was in great hands with her looking after him and she sent us regular updates with photos and videos. She was also kind enough to water our plants and put our bin out. We highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter.
Laura was absolutely wonderful with our two cats. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was really lovely with our boys and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well looked after. Laura followed all of our instructions to the letter, including administering medicine to one of our boys, which we really appreciated. It was reassuring to know they were in such capable and caring hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura and would happily have her look after our cats again. Thank you, Laura, for taking such great care of our boys!
Roslyn took wonderful care of our cats and kittens while we were away! She communicated clearly, kept us updated, and made sure all the pets were safe, happy, and well looked after. Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone reliable and truly loving towards animals. Thank you so much, Roslyn!
Highly recommend Michelle if you're looking for a car sitter. Very experienced, caring, reliable, trustworthy, & clearly enjoys the job. We were nervous leaving our 6m kitten Jupiter for the first time, but as soon as we met Michelle we knew she was the right person. Jupiter has loved his daily visits whilst we've been away 🙂.
Chloe was absolutely fantastic looking after our two cats. Her communication was brilliant throughout, with regular updates that really put us at ease. Even though our cats have slightly odd routines and instructions because they’re older, she followed everything perfectly. She was so gentle, kind, and patient with them, and it was clear how comfortable they felt in her care. We’d highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Salford on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,722 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Salford. About 92% of Salford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

- 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.
