Sarah is wonderful, she is very patient, as my gorgeous girl is quite nervous around new people. Sarah sends updates throughout the day with her progress with Harper which are great and put my mind at ease. I recommend her 💯 and I have already booked her in for future dates.

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 have lived animals my whole life. I have a dog who I trained and who I love very much. He's a very good boy. I look after pets for friends, whether that be popping in, going for walks or staying over. I love the different personalities they have and the joy they bring to our lives. I've been with pets after vet stays and have developed bonding tactics to ensure they feel safe and loved. I currently work from home and usually have lunchtime available for walks. I am also willing to stay overnight with animals when the rest of the family is away as long as there is WiFi available. I'm happy to talk this through to suit your needs 😊 When caring for pets in your home I will adhere to the rules and requirements you set. I am happy to stay indoors or take pets out for walks, stick to any schedule needed for your pet 😊

Olivia is amazing! We knew from the first time we met her she’d be great at looking after our crazy cocker spaniel. Olivia’s communication is brilliant and she kept us up to date with photos. Thank you so much Olivia, we’re sure Lola had a great time and we hope you’ll look after her again! xx

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter who’s looked after all kinds of furry friends through other platforms and have years of personal pet care under my belt. As a lifelong dog owner, I know how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m now looking for some daytime walking companions or overnight sits nearby. Happy to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m an experienced pet sitter and lifelong animal lover who’s cared for cats with every kind of personality. Whether they’re the type that wants snuggles all day, or just food put out and to be left alone, I can work around their unique style. I'll make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. On their terms, of course. I always treat your home and routines with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll follow any house rules you set, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet's space stays calm and familiar while you’re away.

Georgina has been absolutely INCREDIBLE looking after our pug for 5 days/nights in our home. She was extremely attentive, and they honestly properly soul bonded - I feel like our dog is so sad that she’s not around anymore! She couldn’t do enough for him, sent lots of updates and made us feel so happy and calm knowing that he was in her care. We came back to a very happy dog and a very clean and tidy home. Will absolutely be asking Georgina to look after our dog again in the future!!

About: I have been caring for animals since I was young! I cared for my wonderful border terrier Rolo from him being a pup up until the very end. Rolo had doggy dementia and a few health issues, so I have plenty of experience caring for senior dogs who might need abit of extra love and support. I often dog sit for my family and friends as they know how much I love their pets, I always make sure to send them lots of videos and pictures while I’m there! I also owned a horse named Reggie for 3 years, and as well as looking after him I would also look after the dogs who lived on the farm, making sure they were always clean, well fed and happy. My Yorkshire Terrier Ralph is the definition of ‘like butter wouldn’t melt’, he has taken a lot of training from being a puppy to not be as reactive to other dogs, so this has added to my knowledge and experience of different temperaments through training him. I am very confident with all animals, big and small, and will love your dogs as if they are my own. Dogs aren’t just pets- they are family and they deserve all the love! I currently work part time in hospitality on a flexible basis, so I have a really flexible schedule to be able to care for your dogs! Unfortunately due to my Yorkshire Terrier thinking he’s a lion, I can’t offer boarding at my home as I would not want to subject your dogs to his relentless yapping! However when I care for dogs in your home, I will always provide a calm and gentle presence as I know some dogs may be nervous to see a new person! When meeting new dogs, especially in their own home I like to let them approach me first as to not overwhelm them if they are not ready to interact with me yet. I appreciate that people’s homes and dogs are extremely precious to them, as are mine, so I will always treat your home with the upmost respect.

About: I have fostered 2 rescue dogs - Coffee and Rocky, who were 3 months and 10 years old respectively. I have experience with varied temperaments and needs, and can adjust accordingly to suit your pet - be it taking them on long, active jogs, or slow and steady sniff-strolls, tiring them out with fetch or just watching them nap. Both of my fosters came from life on the streets and needed patience and gentle guidance as they settled in. I’m attentive to behavioural changes and will always keep you updated on anything that seems new or concerning. I am a creative freelancer and my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'll have plenty of time to keep your fur baby company, and to make sure they are well looked after. Do drop me a line! I'll make sure your pet is fed promptly, and will note and relay any changes in appetite. I can also mix medication or supplements into food where necessary. I will change out your dog's pee pads if needed, and clean up after any messes with pet-friendly spray or wipes. If your dog has been restless in your absence and perhaps torn up the odd cushion or knocked over a plant, I will take care of this so you can return to a spotless home!

About: I’ve had 3 border collies and 2 German shepherds… all from puppies and raised them at different times throughout growing up. I have fed, bathed, groomed, walked, played and trained all of these pups, even one of the border collies who was a rescue dog. I would walk them for 2 hours or more as they were super active, which is my favourite part as I love being out in nature and watching them just go crazy 😆 I am a self employed professional dancer and yoga teacher… so sitting perfectly fits into my schedule!! I have free time and flexibility most days during the week! I have a fenced garden which is locked and high, so super safe and clear from dogs running away and for kitties I’ll most probably keep them indoors unless stated by owners. Once I know where everything is in your house to look after your pet, everything will be dealt with ease and you should feel relaxed whilst away!

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats through friends, family, and people in my community. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and understand how important routine, patience, and safety are for pets. I offer dog walking and house sitting, so pets can stay relaxed in their own home environment. I make sure they are fed on time, walked properly, and given attention and care throughout the day. I’m calm, reliable, and respectful of both pets and owners’ homes. I follow instructions carefully and always keep owners updated with messages and photos. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if it were my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available for daily dog walks and overnight house sitting, always making sure pets stick to their usual routine. I plan my time carefully so pets feel relaxed and well cared for in their own home. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. I carefully follow owners’ instructions, respect their space, and make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs for the past 7 years. Responsibilities include walking, feeding, playing and washing/ grooming. I have particular experience with Dachshunds and other smaller dogs. I love dogs but am unable to commit to my own at the moment as I’m planning to move abroad in a couple of years so I see this as an exciting opportunity to spend quality time with doggies, whilst they await their loving owners’ return! I’m a researcher for the civil service and can work flexibly and remotely, allowing me to be there and available for your pets when needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and happy environment. I follow the owner’s routine closely, from feeding schedules and walk times to favourite toys and special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while keeping their space clean and stress-free. Communication is key, so I send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Have grown up with pets, from cats my parents had before I was born to always being a dog in the family home. I’ve always enjoyed walking them, playing with them and am very partial to a puppy cuddle. Have had somewhat of an animal shaped hole in my life but have recently been taking care of friends dogs for the odd weekend/ extended period and have been loving it so would welcome the opportunity to befriend some more of the dogs of Manchester! I’m friendly, flexible and patient with pooches. I’ll make sure your pets are well looked after, comfortable and enjoying their vacation! Reliable and will make sure you’re updated on their adventures for peace of mind. Need to know anything else, give me a shout! Flexible working arrangements so WFH the odd weekday but with notice can definitely do doggy day care provided I can nip out throughout the day (1.5 hours max). Also largely free in the evenings and happy to have your pets stay over when available. Mainly work from home Friday and free through to Sunday so very happy to puppy sit for weekends! I share an apartment with a fellow dog lover but no other pets in the house so no problem if your dog prefers not to be around other animals. Lift access to flat so no worries for short legged, stair averse friends.

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!

Helen was absolutely amazing looking after our home and 2 kittens over Christmas. It was our first separation so we were nervous, but it couldn’t have gone better! Helen is attentive, thoughtful and super communicative. She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. We will 100% use her again and can’t thank her enough!

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 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.
