About: Always been surrounded by pets growing up. Cats, dogs, rabbits name it. I decided to start pet sitting because I love it so much and I like the company! I work from home and have a little sausage dog called Sherlock. I’ve hosted a variety of dogs including elderly ones requiring nappies and assistance. I work as a self employed filmmaker and photographer, meaning during the week I work mostly at home if I’m not out on a shoot. Sherlock is always at the forefront of the hours I work making sure he gets everything he would need around my schedule as would your pup! I have an enclosed garden and a divide between the kitchen and living area giving the pups a safe space. I allow all the pets on furniture so they can make themselves right at home!

About: I've grown up with rescue cats and dogs so I'm used to looking after animals with a variety of different needs. Attentive stroker and responsible treat giver. I work from home so have a lot of availability. I'm happy to help with any other reasonable requests while you're away. Please give me a message ahead of making a booking just to double-check I can look after your dog - please include your postcode so I can make sure you're not too far away :) Please note: I have a big friendly dog (Marlo) who loves to hang out and play with other friendly (neutered) dogs. I work from home most days Monday-Friday, I am often home most weekends. I am flexible with times so can pop over mornings, lunchtimes or evenings. I have a fenced home and yard with non toxic plants at home, inside and out. I'll be keeping my eye on them at all times when they're outside.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned a variety of breeds over the years, from German Shepherds to Poodles, and I currently have two much-loved Shih Tzu/Poodle crosses who bring me so much joy. I’ve always been the person that family and friends turn to when they need someone they can trust with their dogs. I genuinely love having dogs around and caring for them, so I’ve decided to turn something I already love doing into a small home based business. Your dog won’t simply be looked after here they’ll become part of the family while they’re with us. My dogs are very much part of our home, and any dogs staying with me will be treated in exactly the same way. They’ll be welcome indoors, given plenty of attention, cuddles and company, and allowed to settle into their own routine as much as possible. We have two good sized garden areas where dogs can enjoy some fresh air and playtime, as well as a comfortable family home where they can relax and feel safe. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can feel daunting, so my priority is making sure both you and your dog feel comfortable and confident. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, their personality, habits and individual needs, so that their stay is as happy and stress free as possible. 🐶❤️ I’m currently home during the day, so your dog will have plenty of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. My three boys are now old enough to get themselves to and from school, which gives me the flexibility to make dog care a big part of my daily routine. I’m up and available from around 7am, with breakfast and morning cuddles followed by our main walk usually between 8–10am. We have lovely local walks just a 5 minute walk from our home, and I also have a van so I can take the dogs out to other local walking spots if appropriate. After our morning walk, there’s plenty of time for play in the garden, followed by relaxing at home on the sofa. I’m around throughout the day for company, fuss and plenty of attention, with mealtimes tailored to each dog’s normal routine and individual needs. My two dogs are used to having a relaxed home environment, and visiting dogs will be welcomed into the same routine. I want them to feel comfortable and settled. My days are flexible, so I can adapt the routine to suit the dogs in my care, whether they are energetic and love lots of walks and playtime, or are happier having a gentle stroll followed by a cosy afternoon on the sofa. 🐾 I want every dog in my care to feel safe, secure and at home. I have two friendly, Shih Tzu/Poodle crosses of my own, who are used to having other dogs around and love making new friends. We have two secure, fully fenced garden areas which can either be opened up to create one larger space or kept separate. This means I can adapt the environment depending on the dogs in my care, some dogs love having company and space to play together, while others may prefer their own quieter area to relax. Dogs are welcome throughout my home and will have plenty of supervision, attention and affection. I don’t use crates, as I prefer dogs to feel relaxed and comfortable in a normal home environment. However, if a dog needs some quiet time or prefers to have their own space, I can provide a comfortable, separate area where they can retreat and relax undisturbed. I’ll always take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine and individual needs, and I’ll never assume that every dog enjoys the same things. My aim is to provide a safe, calm and loving home where your dog can settle in, feel comfortable and enjoy themselves while you’re away. 🐾

“Jayne has been looking after my puppy Twiggy at doggy daycare every Thursday since May 25, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Twiggy absolutely loves spending time with Jayne’s puppy, Maggie, who is the same age, and the two of them have become such great little playmates. It’s clear how much Jayne genuinely loves dogs—she treats them as if they were her own, and Twiggy always comes home happy, tired, and well cared for after her day there. I only stopped using Jayne’s daycare because my work commitments changed, but I would love for her to look after Twiggy again in the future. Knowing she’s safe, loved, and having fun with Maggie each week gave me such peace of mind, and I’m so grateful for everything Jayne does. 🥰🥰🥰”

About: Hi, I'm Leah, and I'm a huge dog lover based in MediaCity, Salford! I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved their company. Growing up with two Jack Russell Terriers gave me plenty of hands-on experience, and over the years I've regularly looked after family pets and spent time with a variety of small and medium-sized breeds, including Jack Russells, Chihuahuas, and cross breeds. I work from home full-time, so your dog will have lots of company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. Whether they enjoy playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel settled, comfortable, and right at home. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I'll always do my best to tailor their care to what they're used to. I'm lucky to live in MediaCity with several great walking spots close by. There's a large grass area right outside my building for quick toilet breaks, additional green spaces just a few minutes away, and larger parks nearby for longer walks and plenty of exercise. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a more relaxed pace, they'll be cared for in a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to make their stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible while you're away. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog in someone else's care, which is why I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can see how they're getting on and enjoy complete peace of mind. I offer boarding, doggy day care, house sitting, and dog walking services, and I'd be delighted to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we're the perfect fit for each other. My flexible work from home schedule means that your dog will have plenty of company, short walks, playtime, cuddles and consistent care all throughout the day! Your dog’s safety is my top priority! I provide a safe, caring home environment with plenty of supervision, excercise and attention throughout the day.

About: I’ve trained my dog of 8 years some basic discipline which enabled me to provide basic training to all his furry friends! (I’m also great with cuddles) I’m currently between jobs and have plenty of time to play and care for your doggos! I’m also also available for dog boarding as I’m mostly based at home :) I have a 24x7 concierge in my building and I live in a spacious 1 bed flat with plenty of outdoor area. It’s super safe and pet friendly!

About: We believe puppies are clever little creatures just like human. We treat them with love and adoration. My daughter is great with the puppies and always wants to spend time with them. I am a full time mum at the moment, so I have quite a lot of flexibilities. My daughter always love puppies and always play with them in our community. Doggy daycare hours: 8:00am–6:00pm. Early drop-off / late pick-up by prior agreement only. Very extended stays may require boarding rates. I would prefer to bring the puppy to us as we live in a lovely community with a beautiful terrace for the pets to run around and play. We have the beautiful river downstairs to walk the puppy to Mediacity to enjoy the grassland and sunshine.

Before he arrived she had deep cleaned and puppy proofed her whole flat where Cooper would be. She really went over and beyond! Would 100% recommend Eva for anyone looking for daycare for their dog.”

About: Taking dogs on daily walks, managing leash reactivity, providing basic training commands, ensuring safety in different environments. Overnight care for pets, providing meals, administering medication, playing with pets, monitoring behavior, keeping pet owners updated on their pet's status. Feeding cats, providing fresh water, litter box cleaning, interacting with cats to ensure their comfort, identifying potential health concerns. Per Care fits into my schedule very nicely as I am currently a student at London Metropolitan University, which is located in the Birmingham city centre. I have owned various pets for over 10+ years in my life and have a loving attachment towards them. I would like to seek pet company hence becoming a pet sitter. I pass for my cap to my two bedroom apartment, which is spacious enough for them to be comfortable roam free, relax and remain kept in sight at the same time.

Nikol is such a trustworthy sitter. She was so easy to contact and sent regular updates on Gus. She made sure he stuck to schedules for eating and walking for toilet breaks and he was so happy at the end of the day - it was clear Gus had a great time with Nikol and he’s already got his next couple of days booked it 🥰

Samantha looked after Cody, my anxious dog, for the day and was absolutely lovely with her. Cody can take a while to warm up to new people, but Sam was so patient, taking the time to get to know her and help her settle in at her own pace. She clearly worked her magic because Cody soon felt comfortable and had a great day, with lovely walks and ball play! It was really reassuring knowing Sam understood her nerves and made sure she felt safe and happy. I’d happily trust Cody with her again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Salford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Salford on Rover is £24.15 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 2,746 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Salford. About 87% 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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Salford commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Sitters in North West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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.

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 .

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.

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 dog, 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.

We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
