“Chloe looked after my 18 month old nutter of a dog for the weekend at my house while i was away. I received hourly updates without asking, i returned home to the house being tidy and as i left it. She will definitely be booked every time i go away.”


About: Over the years me and my family have had a variety of pets, these including primarily dogs and cats - many years ago we also had tortoise and birds. Since moving to Salford I have been away from my cat who is our most recent pet back at our family home (currently being taken care of by my family) and I miss him greatly. I’d love to continue to show the love and care I have provided for him for other pets too! I am experienced in taking dogs on walks, feeding dogs and cats regularly and ensuring that cats’ litter trays stay fresh. Although I have only pet sitted for other family members before, I look forward to venturing out and discovering what it is like to pet sit for new people too. As a great animal lover I look forward to play and comfort pets again, and most importantly, to support and take care of them throughout the day! 🐾💕 Currently in between jobs, therefore my schedule is flexible. I can pet sit during the week and on weekends as well, from mornings until evenings. If pet owners have to travel away I can also stay overnight. Since my childhood I have been greatly experienced in taking care of many different pets, primarily dogs and cats. Growing up I consistently took care of our cats and dogs and ensured that they are always happy and supported. I would make sure that they are regularly fed (based on healthy dietary requirements provided by vets), regularly walked and have provided company to them throughout the day, with extra attention paid to play times to keep pets motivated and active. However, I do understand that every pet is different based on their age, breed and personality, therefore I have adapted my ways of supporting them based on each pet. For example, my current cat appreciates more space and alone time which I allow plenty for him, and my dogs from my past required more walks, play time and greater quantity of food to keep them going. I am great at understanding the different personalities and requirements of each pet therefore I am always ready to adapt my support for each of them!
“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.”


“Jamie was fantastic looking after our kittens while we were away! It was the longest we'd left them, so I was quite nervous, but her regular updates and photos really put my mind at ease. The kittens looked so happy and content, it was clear they loved her😊”

About: Hi! I’ve been watching and caring for elderly and young dogs since high school. I am a huge pet lover and love to care for animals. I have cared for elderly dogs, injured dogs, cats, and puppies! I am a full time law student. I’m only in class two days a week so I am available to walk and care for pets. I’m an early riser and enjoy walks. I live in a flat with my partner who is also a Rover sitter. I live on a city-like street which is moderately quiet. I currently have no pets so I can accommodate your pet.

“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.”

About: Hello! I'm Georgia, a dedicated animal lover based in Salford who understands that pets are family. I have both owned and looked after many animals over the years - including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, also hamsters & rabbits. I have a patient and compassionate approach to caring for animals and other peoples homes. As part of my freelance work, I regularly visit clients' homes, so I understand the importance of being trustworthy, respectful, and dependable. I am DBS checked, giving you added peace of mind when inviting me into your home to care for your pets. It is very important to me that I keep the same routine for your pets while you are away - whether that means energetic games with a playful puppy, gentle care for a senior dog, or quiet companionship for a shy cat. Communication is one of my strongest personal traits, so be assured you will be kept at ease when away from your furry loved one. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As someone who works part-time, I have the flexibility and time to dedicate myself fully to caring for animals. Whether it’s a midday cat cuddle or a long morning dog walk, I fit pet care seamlessly into my schedule, making sure your furry family members get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I know that pets are happiest when they can stay in their own familiar surroundings, so I'll do everything I can to keep their routine as normal as possible while you're away. I'll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water at all times, gets plenty of exercise and playtime, and receives lots of love and attention tailored to their personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and games or your cat prefers quiet companionship and gentle affection, I'll adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I'll also keep your home clean and tidy by picking up after your pet, cleaning litter trays, washing food and water bowls, and leaving everything just as I found it. If your pet requires medication, I'm happy to administer it according to your instructions. Throughout my visits, I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I'll treat both your home and your pets with the same care and respect that I would my own, ensuring you return to a content pet and a tidy home.

About: I’ve been pet sitting my entire adult life. I’ve taken care of puppies to senior dogs and highly anxious cats for friends and family. Nothing is more rewarding to me than gaining the full trust of a pet and feeling the honour of being their chosen safe space. Experience in house sitting, as well as walking dogs or even just popping in for a play. I’m currently working part time on a contract of 17 hours a week so can do pet care on my days off or before or after a shift. I pick up overtime shifts occasionally but can work these around pet care hours if needed. My contracted working hours I am unavailable for are Weds 2-7, Thursday 6-10pm, Friday 6-10pm and Sunday 8-12pm, but every other time of the week I can usually do. I won’t be able to care for pets in my own home sadly as I have cats that won’t take too kindly to house guests. However, I am more than happy to pet sit in your home and will treat both your pet and home like they are my own. If you are going away for a while I would give you daily updates on your beloved pets.
“Thank you is not enough ! Amazing and loving person. Both Chanel and Nic were taking amazing care of my Phoebs for a whole week in our house. First time after we came back, Phoebe wasn't mad on us that we left her alone, so you can only imagine how much fun she had with them. She took great care of the dog and same time of our house. Thank you so much Chanel and see you hopefully soon, as we are already planning next holiday 🤣”


About: I am a final-year Occupational Therapy student. I owned my pet call pigpig for 3 years already, I have created an Instagram account for him “mr_pig_pig” for daily record, is public account and you are welcome to know more about me and him xx. I do really love cat and just found this job which can let me spend more time with other lovely cat. I think I will really enjoy spending time with them. I am currently finishing my degree and waiting for my graduation ceremony. I am therefore flexible with my schedule and have plenty of time to play with dogs and cats. I provide attentive, safe, and reliable care for pets. I always prioritise the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication requirements, and any specific behavioural needs or preferences. I take time to build trust with each pet by being calm, patient, and consistent, helping them feel secure in my care. In the home environment, I ensure the space is safe and free from hazards, and I maintain a clean and comfortable setting. I also make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations and are given plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection according to their needs. I understand the importance of respecting the owner’s home and privacy, so I always act responsibly, keep the environment tidy, and communicate regularly with updates for reassurance.
“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.”

I can’t recommend Roslyn highly enough! From the moment we met, she was friendly, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took amazing care of my dogs and cat and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, all of my pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. It’s obvious that she goes above and beyond to make sure every animal feels comfortable, loved, and cared for. Knowing they were in such safe and caring hands made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my dogs and cat!

Sarah & Stuart took awesome care our both our house, but more importantly, our two dogs whilst we had a much needed rest on holiday. Before sitting for us they met us twice - once for an initial meep and greet with the dogs (Oct 25) and then at the start of May 26. In May 26 they met us and we went for a pack walk with us an the dogs - within 20 feet of the house, they had the dog leads in hands and were more than capable of handing out 'sassy' Star our our somewhat vocal Astro. During our time away they kept us updates with regular photos and messages - so we always felt like we were being kept informed and updated. Came back from holiday yesterday (Sat) and both dogs look to have been so well looked after (and I suspect walked to within an inch of their limits - and that is saying some!) Highly recommend both Sarah & Start - be more than happy to have them take care of the dogs again when we go away (which reminds me, as soon as I'm done on this feedback...). Thanks again, lovely people, obvious dog lovers and a house well cared for. Not sure what other positive feedback to give. If in doubts - don't be - they are lovely! Josh, Marc, Star & Astro x

Chloe was amazing with my puppy. She sent me lots of photo and video updates and was super contactable throughout. I felt really comfortable leaving Elvis with Chloe and he was super happy and sleepy from all the playing and cuddles! Would definitely recommend ❤️

Caroline was wonderful! As soon as she came to meet Clover she loved her & was happy to play and cuddle with her. She sent lots of lovely photos of Clover and seemed like they had a fab time. The house was also super tidy when we came back. Thank you so much! We would definitely have Caroline look after Clover again.

Another fantastic booking with Phil, always leaves the house spotless and I have no worries at all leaving Rory with him. Phil takes the time to get to know your dog and routines and I know Rory will always be well looked after. Keeps you updated on how they are getting on and really puts your mind at ease!

Larissa is absolutely wonderful. So many good things to say about her-the most important thing is that she loves animals and went well above and beyond in caring for my high maintenance rescues- the result is that my dogs absolutely adored her and cuddled up to her immediately. One of my dogs needs ointment in her eye multiple times daily and Larissa handled it like a pro. I’m nervous leaving them due to their issues and she sent updates on progress, adorable photos, and was amazingly communicative. Being rescues (as well as stubborn French Bulldogs) they can pull on the lead - I shared my concerns and Larissa took my concerns seriously and was attentive and intentional about it and she kept them in check and safe from their own idiocy so that I didn’t worry about them while we were away. Larissa was so respectful of our home- my kitchen was definitely cleaner when she left than when she arrived. I cannot recommend Larissa highly enough. I’m so grateful she’s in my neighbourhood and I will definitely be asking her to take care of our gremlins again.

Rosa has been a fantastic dog sitter! She took time to play and stay with our Labrador, and carefully followed what our dog needed in terms of medication and toilet breaks. Updates were provided daily. It was a huge weight off knowing that our dog was in capable hands. Thank you Rosa! I will definitely be booking again, and I know Stitch will be so excited to see you next time

Lola and Luna stayed with Hannah for a weekend and they absolutely loved it. Lola is usually quite nervous and timid with new people/places but she was so settled because of how great Hannah was with her. Hannah kept us updated with pictures and they were having so much fun: lots of cuddles! We will definitely be using Hannah again in the future.

Daisy was so great at looking after my kitten, he is super fussy and doesn’t often cuddle anybody apart from me and my partner and he absolutely loved her. He was even cuddling her on the sofa ! Knowing he was super happy with her from the updates and pictures she sent, it ensured I could then relax and enjoy my weekend away! I would 100% recommend and will be booking her again! ☺️ It feels so good to have found a great cat sitter!

I found Emma to sit with our dog for an evening and it worked perfectly. Emma is so lovely and made time to pop round a few weeks before to meet us and we chatted through everything. I felt so comfortable having Emma in our home and she sent us updates and photos which was much appreciated. I’m really grateful to have found Emma and I will definitely be booking again soon. Thank you!

I’m Flori and I had a great time with Francesca while my mummy was away! She took me to my favourite cafe and on lots of walks so i was extra sleepy while i waited for mummy to get home! She fed me on time and gave me my medication easily! Plus she sent my mum lots of cool pictures to stay updated. Your furry friends would love to have her look after them too!

Erin was absolutely amazing with our very anxious Jax! Jax is very nervous around new people, but with two meet and greets and lots of patience on the first day of our holiday Jax soon became Erin’s friend. Thank you very much for taking good care of him and providing updates whilst we were away.

Thank you so much for looking after our little Gus!! We really appreciated the regular updates and pictures, and you made us feel very comfortable leaving our 8 week old pup with someone new. Highly recommended and will deffo be getting back in touch for next time :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salford on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,869 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salford. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Salford walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Salford 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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
