“Zara was great looking after our dog Trixie. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. She made sure to check through Trixie's care instructions with us which I really appreciated. Zara is very polite, friendly and reliable. Trixie was well looked after and didn't want her to leave afterwards. Thank you Zara for doing a great job.”


“Nadine was incredible, I was nervous about leaving my young puppy for the first time but she kept me so updated with pictures etc, and mumble is so calm and happy after her visit. She was so accommodating and kindly extended her stay due to my travel issues. Couldn’t reccomend enough 💖”


About: We are compassionate pet sitters, we are experienced at caring for furry family members of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to nursing older pets in their final days and following complicated surgical procedures. We have had pets our entire lives and can provide personalised care tailored to each pet's unique needs. We will prioritise the well-being and happiness of every animal entrusted to our care. Whether it's cuddle time with an older cat, or playtime with a lively puppy, we have done it. We have also nurtured a nervous and rescued pet. We have nursed both cats and dogs following surgical procedures and are dedicated to creating a safe and loving atmosphere where pets thrive. We have recently lost our last dog, at the age of 16 and although we are missing him, we do not feel ready to just 'replace' him. We are therefore really looking forward to sharing our lives with other peoples pets, we live is a calm and peaceful household but have also known the fun chaos of having 3 children (now grown and gone) and at one point 3 dogs and 2 cats...and chickens plus a pond full of fish We have a secure back garden and will very soon be retiring so that we will be able to spend all day, every day looking after your animals! Working as a couple allows us to fully commit to caring for your pet as we can be flexible and work around other commitments as a team. About to be retired, so we will have a completely free schedule ready to look after your animals and take them on all the walks they need Safe home, enclosed garden, gated garden with drive- our house is very pet friendly. We will welcome your pets with open arms whenever you need.

“Sara was excellent and took away all our worries about care for our dog. She made time for a meet and great in advance and was very understanding of our dog-reactive Collie (she has personal experience of looking after similar dogs). Doggo seemed really relaxed when we got home. Thumbs up all round!”


“Caroline did such an amazing job with our 3 pups. Almost every picture she sent their tongue was out because she took them outside to play. We knew without a doubt that they were in good hands and that’s saying a lot because we are very particular when it comes to our pups. And the house? Spotless! If I didn’t know any better I never would have known she was here. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future! She’s so kind and so professional! I can’t recommend her enough!”


About: What sets me apart is that I live and breathe dog care - it isn’t just a side job for me, it’s my daily life. I’m a rescue pug mum myself, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and consistency it takes to make dogs feel safe and happy. I have hands-on experience with dogs who need a little extra TLC – from puppies who are still learning the ropes to senior dogs who need slower walks, medication reminders, and lots of comfort. I know how to spot signs of anxiety, stress, or health concerns, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. Your dog won’t just be “looked after” - they’ll be loved, cuddled, and treated like part of the family. Safety, routine, and affection are at the heart of how I care for animals. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I already structure my days around looking after my own rescue pug, so fitting in walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles comes naturally. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day rather than just quick check-ins. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play breaks, or evening wind-down cuddles, I make sure every dog gets the consistency and care they need. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family. I provide a calm, safe, and cosy environment with lots of affection, play, and enrichment. I make sure pets have access to a comfy space to rest, regular walks suited to their energy level, and as much fuss as they want. I always keep to their usual routine for meals, toilet breaks, and bedtime so they feel secure. When I’m caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow instructions closely, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and cared for. My priority is always making sure each pet feels loved, safe, and settled.

About: Hi, I’m Ben! I live in central Manchester and offer dog boarding, walks, and drop-in visits, with plenty of love and tail wags guaranteed. I grew up in the countryside with two springer spaniels and a westie, so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs and long walkies. I’m now based in the heart of Manchester and I’ve carried that love for animals with me, regularly carimg for friends’ pets here in the city, as well as my furry family back home when I visit. Whether it’s a quick pop-in or overnight care, I treat every pet like my own. I’ve got a car, so I’m happy to travel around Greater Manchester. This is a fun side hustle for me. I have a genuine love for animals and always look forward to meeting a new furry friend! I work flexibly, so I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays especially during evenings and weekends. My work changes week to week, so let me know what you need and I’ll adjust my schedule accordingly! I have a fenced back garden, with Albert Park just a balls throw away from my house, meaning giving your dog ample exercise is easy peasy. My car means that the world is your dogs oyster: I love hiking, frequently travelling into the Peak District for a walk, and often used to go for runs with my dogs growing up around the countryside of Clitheroe!

“I have an anxious cockapoo who is very scared of people and Georgina was able to make Simba feel very comfortable and she asked all the right questions and took everything we said into consideration. She kept us updated very regularly and made us feel very comfortable and was a successful stay :)”


“Oleksii stayed at our house and cared for Wilbert whilst we spent a couple nights away. He took him for a few 5 minute walks a day and loved the long walk on the last day in the sunshine. Thank you for the photos and cuddling Wilbert. He looks forward to seeing you again soon!”



“Alix came round to my house to look after Maggie. Maggie is great with people but needs building up slowly with new situations and Alix was very patient with her. I would definitely use Alix again. Shes very sensible and I felt really safe leaving her with my fur child.”


“Dan was amazing with Monte. Very kind and friendly at the meet and greet and Monte took an instant liking to him. I knew Monte would be in safe hands as Dan made sure he knew everything about Monte’s routine and I came back to a very happy dog and I need to give Dan extra praise for accommodating my later than last minute request to change plans due to a train nightmare which made me late coming back. Will definitely ask Dan again to look after Monte.”


“Chun Hong is very nice and very professional. He looked after our little cat while we were away for few days and he did great. Our little one was super happy. He also kept us updated and send us a lots of pics which was lovely. Chun Hong is also flexible which helped a lot. I definitely recommend him ! 😁”


“It's the first time of using Rover. I must say that Darren was a very professional young man and he looked after my dogs and house like he was a family member. I will be using him again next time we are going away. The only thing I would change on the web site is the contract information for sitter and home owner is correct.”


About: I used to provide pet sitting service, either in owner's home or stay overnight at my home. I love animals since I was small, so I know I will definitely live with animal in my whole life. When I was in my hometown, I do volunteering in a homeless dog shelter every weekend, duties are including walking dogs, bathing, playing with them, talk to someone who wants adoption. I’m a full time mum, I am available to do day care for pets everyday after dropping off my kid in school. Time is flexible and can be easily arranged since I can ask my family to help on my kid. I care for pets with the same love, attention, and respect I would give my own. I take time to learn their specific needs—like feeding schedules, medication, exercise habits, and favorite toys or activities. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep their space tidy, and maintain regular updates so they feel confident and connected.

“Would definitely recommend Katie. She kept us up to date from the moment she arrived. She was extremely accommodating and was a pleasure throughout. Our 3 Pugs were very well looked after and loved 🥰 she also left our home spotless. Thanks Katie!!”


“This was our first experience booking a Rover house-sitter and it lived up to all our expectations. Eliza has a caring and professional approach. Communication about our schedule and our cat’s needs was all handled very well. We appreciated the updates and photos received while we were away. Everything was clean and tidy when we returned home. We would certainly book Eliza for our next trip.”


“Lauren was very polite and I felt very comfortable with her coming into my home to look at Maggie. I got updates through the day and felt very at ease knowing Mags was well looked after. I would definitely use Lauren again!”
