About: Cats😺 I have been a proud cat mom for the past year and I adore my cat, Muffin. Before getting her, I spent a lot of time researching cat care to ensure that I could give her the best possible life. Since then I have continued learning and building my knowledge every day. I am particularly experienced with kittens and Ragdolls. I understand their personalities, needs, and how important routine, gentle handling, and attention are. Caring for my own cat has made me very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to feeding, hygiene, playtime, and wellbeing. Dogs 🐶 I have grown up as a dog owner and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I am experienced in daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, cuddles, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I am very comfortable looking after dogs and I will go above and beyond to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both large and small breeds both younger and older. 💕 I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect that every pet has their own routine, preferences and personality. I am more than happy to receive detailed instructions and I will never judge anyone for being particular about their pets care. As someone who is very specific about my own pets routine, I completely understand how important this is. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care, if preferred, so you can feel reassured and connected whilst you are away. I will treat your fur baby with the same level of care, patience, and affection as I do my own! I am a university student, however I have finished university until the next academic year, therefore I am very flexible with my availability to take excellent care of your pet! If there are any days you would like to book and it appears as unavailable on my schedule please feel free to message me and I will try to accommodate those dates for you :) Note: 3rd-14th August I will be unavailable during weekdays. I will still be available on weekends during this time. Thank You :) I am not currently offering services in my own home, however I will implement safety measures when taking care of your pet in your home. As an indoor-cat owner, I appreciate the importance of keeping indoor pets safe. I will always follow your instructions carefully when caring for your pet, and no matter their routine, preferences or lifestyle, indoor or outdoor, I will respect this and follow this carefully. I would always appreciate clear instructions and any emergency contacts (such as a vet or family member) for peace of mind.
About: Always been around with dogs and have taken care of different breeds. Have experience giving oral medication and lots of baths! Enjoy going on walks and always keeping them happy, playful and clean to end their days in a good mood. Moved from the Dominican Republic to purse my dream of becoming a psychologist, just finished college and I’m currently working part time as a Community Support Worker so I’m able to offer lots of flexibility and follow my clients needs and wants. Unfortunately, I had to leave my furry friend back home and taking care of yours will fulfill that lost while keeping them joyful and safe! I used to have a cat while living in my home country for +3 and I’ve always been surrounded by dogs throughout my life. I’m an animal person who loves keeping them playful, clean and safe at all times. I will update you whenever you need reassurance that your furry friend is safe and well fed.
About: Hi there! We’re Sofia & Julia, a young couple living in Salford. We both have plenty of experience looking after dogs (including puppies), and we’ve loved every minute of it. We’re really patient and reliable and we really really love pets, so we will make sure we love and care for your little ones as if they were ours! 🐾 We have a pretty flexible work schedule, and we will ensure one of us is off work when we look after your pet. Our goal is for them to have our full attention when they’re with us! We are pretty flexible in terms of dropping off and picking up times, and we’re definitely open to host your pet overnight, and/or for a few days at a time. We can ensure they would never be left alone and we would dedicate them all of our time. We live in a flat, but we have a fenced car park which has some grass areas for short toilet breaks. There is also a large park two minutes down the road for their walks. We have a spare room where the animal could have their own space if needed, either loose or in its kennel.
“I’m so over protective of my kitties but Amy made me feel so comfortable and sent me updates each visit which I was so thankful for. Amy even took the rubbish out and washed some pots I left which I did not expect but massively appreciated. Thank you Amy, I’ll definitely come to you when I go away again. ”
“Sofie has started drop ins with my rescue dog Rita, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Rita has always been super anxious with people coming in the house, but she already loves Sofie after a couple of visits. That's testament to Sofie's patience and how much she cares about dogs.”
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.
“Chloe dropped in twice to see my cat whilst I was away. She was fantastic. Great communication, really lovely and sent lots of pictures and videos! Definitely would recommend:)”
“This is my second time using Ada. She's fantastic with Dougie and sends great updates and I never worry about leaving my boy with her - he seems to have bonded with her really well which I love because he can be a little sensitive!”
“I booked daily drops ins for my cat George while I was on holiday. Andrea visited has per arrangement each day and followed the routine that George is used too. She kept me up to date with messages and photos. It was evident on my return home that George had been well taken care off. I would definitely rebook and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies from young ages. I’m very attentive and responsible and will be sending regular photo updates for peace of mind I’m currently working part time mostly on weekends so I’m free most of the week to take care of any pets and go on walks with them in a lovely nearby park or walk path. I love to go on walks so they would be great company! I have a safe and secure apartment in a gated community and live next to a quiet estate for lovely walks. I have a clean and tidy apartment and car suitable for them, to ensure peace of mind about their safety.
“Incredibly thorough and very good with cats. She arrived on time and completed any request we asked for. Left every area tidy and sent pictures and videos, which helped massively with our peace of mind when we were away. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Olivia was amazing! I needed a cat sitter last minute and she was so helpful and quick to reply, really making me feel at ease and like Lily and George were in good hands :) Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I grew up on a farm where my parents were dog breeders, so caring for animals—puppies, seniors, and everything in between—has been part of my daily life since I was a kid. I’m comfortable with all breeds, energy levels, and special needs, whether it’s administering meds, handling training basics, or giving extra love to older pups. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I treat every pet like family! I work from home so I could take care of your pet during my hours. I am doing 10k steps daily so I would love to walk with your buddy to entertain each other hah. I do not have a dog, I was just a student who finished University last year so I surely would need your leash and all equipments required.
About: Full time dog sitter. I’ve been taking care of animals from a young age and I’m very passionate about them, I took to volunteering at a dog hotel because I wanted to be in that environment and learn to care for them, and have been caring for peoples pets for a long time ! I’m currently on my summer break before my final year at university, however I have been taking care of peoples pets during my term times and always make time to ensure the animals feel love and cared for especially while their parents are away ! I have a small garden but easy access to grass areas and enriching walks if needed and have a lot of experience with caring for animals in their home or my own
“Thank you so much Audrey for taking care of Dexter for me and my family while we were away. To know that Dexter was so well cared for, being able to see your lovely photos of him playing, your detailed and timely reports, and your overall style of care, meant we never had to worry about our family pet. Thank you so much.”
About: I had a family dog for 9 years that I looked after a lot, I am very good with meeting new dogs and making them feel at ease around me. I am a first year university student at Salford, I had a dog growing up and have lots of experience with dogs. I would like to spend some time with some cute dogs and get some walks in while in Uni to wind down after studying hard. I'm mainly available in the evening and weekends, but I am flexible for doing walks or hangouts on my more free days if I have a few hours <3 I am happy to come out and look after your fur baby while you're away/busy, I am always wanting to get more time with dogs but will make sure everything is safe first and foremost <3
“I was working late so Faye popped over to check on Mika and she was brilliant, gave her food and had a play, and sent me loads of pictures and videos/updates, was so reassuring, would have her back anytime and I’m sure Mika would too🐈🥰”
About: Since 2018 myself and my family opened our home to dog sitting. I have done long and short stays including just for the day as well as dog walking too. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule, which allows me to balance time between home and the office. On days I work from home, I’m available for pet care throughout the day, including walks, feeding, and companionship. My schedule also allows me to plan ahead, so I can commit to regular visits or stays and ensure pets get consistent, reliable care during the week and on weekends. I provide care in the pet owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm, safe atmosphere while maintaining the home respectfully. I’m also attentive to any changes in behaviour or health and will keep owners updated regularly for peace of mind. I also have experience handling a variety of dogs on the lead and am confident managing different behaviours during walks. I understand how to approach situations where a dog may feel nervous or unsure, and I always prioritise their comfort and safety while helping them feel at ease.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! They were reliable, caring and clearly loved our cat, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and it was lovely knowing she was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again. 🐾❤️
I booked daily drops ins for my cat George while I was on holiday. Andrea visited has per arrangement each day and followed the routine that George is used too. She kept me up to date with messages and photos. It was evident on my return home that George had been well taken care off. I would definitely rebook and highly recommend.
Rachel took excellent care of our elderly indoor cat Geoffrey. He was in great hands with her looking after him and she sent us regular updates with photos and videos. She was also kind enough to water our plants and put our bin out. We highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter.
Roslyn took wonderful care of our cats and kittens while we were away! She communicated clearly, kept us updated, and made sure all the pets were safe, happy, and well looked after. Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone reliable and truly loving towards animals. Thank you so much, Roslyn!

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.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Salford pet parents with similar pet households.

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!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
