“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.”
“Alanis has been amazing, we don’t know what we’d do without her! Our dogs are quite particular but they really took to her. We got regularly updates and lots of picture, thanks so much. 5 stars!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I felt so at ease being away with Georgia taking care of Maya, she kept me updated and sent so many cute photos, and she was so respectful of me and my home. Will definitely be booking again :)”
“Where do I begin, from our meet up and peach taking to sofie straight away to Sofie instantly being available to look after peach. I felt so comfortable and trusted Sofie from the get go. She was amazing from start to finish. Constant updates, giving loads of attention and play I couldn’t recommend Sofie enough as someone to trust with your dog. I’ll be using her as a regular dog sitter, Sofie is worth every penny !”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats belonging to family, friends, and neighbours, giving me experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From daily walks and feeding to playtime, grooming, and sticking to established routines, I understand how important consistency is for a pet’s wellbeing. I’m comfortable caring for both young and senior pets, ensuring puppies get the patience and attention they need while older pets receive gentle care and a slower pace. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I make sure I have the time to give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to plan my schedule around their needs. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s usual routine, so I’ll follow their feeding times, exercise schedule, and any specific care instructions to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and supervision. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so they can stay relaxed in a familiar setting. I’m happy to care for pets according to their individual needs, whether that means walks, feeding, litter box or potty breaks, administering oral medication, companionship, or simply keeping them company. I always make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of affection while respecting any boundaries or training routines they’ve been taught.
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.
“Gabrielle is great! She’s so prompt at communicating, we get lots of messages and photos when we are out and costi is always so excited to see her. She’s now our go-to sitter 😊”
“Howard has rapidly become one of Pablo's favourite people - from the first meet and greet it's clear that Howard is so comfortable with our boy, and has his best interests at heart!”
“Alix was brilliant looking after Luna for us for a week whilst we were away . She kept us updated with how Luna was doing and looked after our home leaving everywhere clean and tidy . Luna obviously had a lovely time”
About: I have grown up with a Weimaraner and recently had a Cockapoo which I’ve both helped train from young. I also walk and look after friends and families dogs while they’re away. I’m currently working Wednesday- Sundays (Sundays I finish at 10:30am). Meaning I have the majority of Sunday and all day Monday and Tuesday free. I start work at 5am and finish at 2pm on average. I am more than happy to have your dog stay with me on my days at work, if they’re okay with staying inside for a few hours (my flatmate can take them out in the morning before she leaves for work at 9am). My apartment block is very dog friendly and there’s also some lovely walks that I do a lot around the area. Both myself and my flatmate love and have cared for dogs in the past. So between us your pet will get lots of love and attention.
“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've spent most of my life looking after dogs and have grown up with 8 family dogs, including Toy and Miniature Poodles, French Bulldogs and a Cocker Spaniel. They've all had their own personalities and needs, so I'm used to adapting my care to suit each dog. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs, as well as dogs that are a little nervous or reactive. I understand that every dog is different, and I'm always patient, calm and happy to let them get to know me at their own pace. I'm also confident giving medication when needed, including tablets, ear drops, eye drops, ointments and insulin injections, always following the owner's instructions carefully. As well as caring for my own family dogs, I regularly dog sit for my sister's dogs and have completed a 7-day house and dog sit for a friend while they were on holiday. I've also cat sat for friends several times, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playing with them and making sure they had plenty of company. My professional background is in medical laboratories, where I've worked as a laboratory manager and senior scientist. Those roles required a high level of responsibility, attention to detail and following procedures carefully—qualities that I also bring to caring for pets. Although I'm new to Rover, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I'll treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I currently on a career break, so I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, and I can work around each pet's usual routine to help keep their day as normal and comfortable as possible. I understand that consistency is important for pets, so I always make sure to follow their usual feeding times, exercise routines and any specific instructions provided by their owner. Alongside my love of animals, my professional background is in medical laboratories, where I've worked as a Laboratory Manager and Senior Scientist. My career has taught me to be organised, dependable and highly attentive to detail—qualities that are equally important when caring for someone's beloved pet. Whether it's following feeding schedules, administering medication according to instructions or noticing changes in behaviour, I always take my responsibilities seriously. I am organised, reliable and happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for while you are away. The safety and wellbeing of every pet I look after is my top priority. Before caring for a pet, I like to understand their personality, routine, likes, dislikes and any special requirements so I can provide care that suits them as an individual. When visiting a pet owner's home, I will treat their home with the same respect I would expect for my own. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication and any other routines, while making sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. Having grown up with eight family dogs and cared for dogs and cats for friends, I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I am comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and nervous or reactive dogs, and I always take a calm and patient approach to building trust. I also have experience administering medication, including tablets, ear drops, eye drops, ointments and insulin injections, when required and following the owner's guidance carefully.
“Juliette looked after our dog Murphy after a last minute request. She was so lovely and our dog loved her. She kept me up to date with how he was getting on. Will definitely use her services again.”
“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😊”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Salford
First booking with Hope and it won’t be the last! Absolutely delighted with how happy our dogs were as well as how amazingly she looked after our home. She went above and beyond what was expected of her, washing the bedding and towels she’d used and keeping our furry monsters well fed, well exercised and well groomed. Very friendly, lovely girl. 5 star recommended 😍
Kiran was absolutely amazing with my puppy! She was so kind, patient, and caring, and I could tell my puppy was completely comfortable and happy with her. I’ve actually booked Kiran more than once, which says a lot about how happy I’ve been with her service. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to look after their puppy. Definitely book Kiran — you won’t regret it!
Outstanding service and communication, couldn't be happier. Michelle looked after my cat at very short notice when my mum was taken into hospital - it was so reassuring for her to take the reigns and sort everything out. She has since catsit again and understands that my cat is very shy and prefers to be left alone.
Lucy was absolutely amazing, I cannot recommend her enough. She took great care of our cat DeeDee and was very attentive to her needs and habits. Lucy also took wonderful care of our home and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the cat. I was very worried to leave our fluffy baby for 10 days but Lucy erased all our worries both before and throughout her cat sitting adventure. DeeDee has definetely made a friend in Lucy and I'll definetely book with her again 😊
Maria was amazing with Eric from the minute she came to my home, lots of updates and texts. She even accepted an unexpected parcel for me, thankfully her husband was with her to lend a helping hand as it was a heavy one. It was agreat first time experience for me using dog sitters. I would fully recommend Maria.
A really lovely, professional & responsible sitter - our kitties were in excellent hands. We received regular updates, & Andrea went above & beyond to make sure that their every need & want was catered for. I missed them but I never worried once about them. We will definitely be using your services again - thank you so much for treating our kitties so well!
Sarah and her husband Stuart made our holiday stress free. Knowing we had left our two crazy miniature schnauzers in the more than capable care of Sarah and Stuart was invaluable to our family. We had plenty of updates each day whilst we were away and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them both to my friends with fur babies and we wouldn’t think twice about leaving the dogs with them both. Thank you Sarah and Stuart for everything you have done 🥰
Sarah house sat our rescue dog for a long weekend and she nothing but attentive, communicative and looked after our house so well. Our dog can be a bit wary and anxious around new people but when we’d received images of her cuddling up to Sarah within a matter of hours, we knew we’d hit gold! I’d have no hesitation in booking her again.
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!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting – Salford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salford on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
