“We had a wonderful experience with PUI YAN (IRIS) looking after our two cats, Chelsea and Felix. She took great care of them while we were away, making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention. She kept us updated with messages, lots of videos and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and respected their different personalities. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and everything was just as we left it. We would happily recommend PUI YAN Y to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Chelsea and Felix!”
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 arrived when expected. Ensured the dogs were OK. Gave food, toilet break and played with them. The dogs were relaxed and happy when we got home. Gave great peace of mind, especially as she took lots of photos for the Rover card.”
“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: Experience of fostering a Chow Chow of old age for two years before he sadly passed away. Mum Anita lives with us and has experience housesitting 4 different dogs for over two weeks each time. Partner Angie is a dog enthusiast, and had adopted and cared for two dogs in the past. I work hybrid while my partner works fully remote, meaning that we offer lots of flexibility. We are happy to help out throughout the week. I have a fenced backyard and a reception for your pets to stretch their legs. Not having any pets at the moment so worries about conflicts.
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 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: As a dedicated animal lover and cat parent of 10 years, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets while you’re away. I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, from kittens to senior cats, and I am comfortable working with a range of personalities, from confident and social cats to those who are more shy or anxious. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing enrichment, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I have also cared for my family-in-law’s dogs and am comfortable providing companionship, feeding, walks, and general care. Animal welfare is very important to me and I am committed to ensuring every pet in my care is happy, healthy, and well looked after. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, and I aim to give parents peace of mind while they are away. My main availability is on weekends, when I am free throughout the day on both Saturdays and Sundays. I also have every other Friday off and may be available for pet care on those days. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate them. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I take the time to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, medication, playtime, exercise, and general care. For cats, I can provide feeding, litter tray cleaning, companionship, play sessions, and general care as requested. For dogs, I can provide feeding, companionship, walks, and general care as requested. During every visit, I pay close attention to the pet’s wellbeing and behaviour and will keep parents updated for peace of mind while they are away. As I have cats of my own, I currently focus on providing care in their home rather than boarding pets in my own home.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs all my life. I used to own both at the same time even. It has been a while since I've had a feline as company, I do believe they are better than dogs haha (no offense towards doggies). I'm sure that me and your best friend will spend an amazing time together and I'll do my best for them to have the calmest stay. I'm currently working hybrid, so I'll have to be in the office on Tuesdays on Wednesdays. Other than that, I'm always at home I will always make sure to feed your best friend on time, have some play time together with hidden treats and toys and respect their restful moments.
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.
“Ros is a fantastic cat sitter! She was professional, friendly, and took great care of our cat while we were away. The litter was always clean, we got lots of updates, and it was clear he was happy and well looked after. Deffo recommend 😊”
About: I’m a dog owner myself so have extensive experience in training puppies. I’ve grown up with a variety of breeds of dogs so I’m comfortable with all different shapes and sizes! I work from home 2-3 days out of the working week and work in a dog friendly office 2-3 days, so am flexible with either looking after dogs on my wfh days or can take them with me to the office. I walk to-and-from work and I take my fur baby for a walk every evening to get more steps in! I’m sure she’d love someone to run around with ❤️ I live in a secure flat that has a courtyard out the back where I regularly take my dog for a piddle. There’s plenty of space for your dog’s bed/ crate.
About: My family has always had dogs and I loved growing up with a dog in the home. My husband and I now have a crazy cocker spaniel called Lola. We would all love to welcome more dogs into our home. We only accept crate trained dogs due to us having a house cat. Dogs will need to sleep in a crate overnight but otherwise will be able to freely go around the house and outside. Both my husband and I work from home with flexible working hours. We walk our spaniel a couple of times a day. Dogs would always have access to the garden. Our garden is enclosed and our dog Lola is very friendly and welcoming. Lola is crate trained and we have space for an additional crate.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with two dogs of my own and experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family.

Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. . I am currently training for animal welfare and care and I have plenty of free time. I can be available throughout the day, evenings or weekends. I am available for check ins and dog walking (on or off lead), whether it be toilet breaks or to burn off some of your pets energy throughout the day.
About: I grew up with a house full of pets so when I moved out I felt the need to have animals in my life, and ended up turning it into a business! I’ve been looking after dogs and cats more professionally since august 2021 (with breaks in between), including walks and dog sitting at both my own and the owners homes. I’ve cared for many animals ranging from bengal kittens to big greyhounds! I love all animals and will for certain love yours too! I work in a education so am available early morning and evenings for drop ins and walks, as well as weekends and during half term for longer visits. when staying in pet owners homes i like to follow guidance from the owners themselves about how they like things to be done. i also like to leave the home tidier than how i found it.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Salford is £12
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Salford
First time ever using Rover for an our holiday and certainly will not be our last. We were obviously a bit anxious with it being the first time but we’re now unable to rely on a family member as they work away a lot and it’s too much to ask as a favour from friends. We booked Christy to do daily drop ins and we have been blown away by how amazing she has been. Firstly I was worried how our 14 year old highly strung and very territorial cat would react but i am simply blown away by how she has reacted to Christy. We received videos and photos and cute little messages every single day, clearly showing that Tinkerbell was having a great time being pampered and brushed every day. Normally when we are away Tinks will eat a bit less and especially in the hot weather we’ve had at home but it just shows how relaxed she has felt as she’s eaten more than normal and emptied her bowls every day! Christy is such a lovely respectful person and clearly loves cats (and they clearly love her too) I will 100% continue to use Rover and I am crossing my fingers that Christy will be available for all our holidays going forward, Tinks misses her already ❤️ Thank you so much Christy ☺️
Stephen has been visiting my rescue cat Honey since I got her in October. Stephen is so kind and patient with her when she’s been really timid in the past. Stephen is so reliable and I feel reassured that Honey is in the best hands when I am away. I also really appreciate the text updates with a photo of how she’s been when he has visited her. I will continue to book Stephen for visits and I would recommend him to anyone ☺️
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.
We were so happy with the care our cat, Oakley, received. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates and lovely photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and showed just how well he was being looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear Oakley was happy and comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and would highly recommend Emilia to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful cat sitter.
Kiwi took such amazing care of our three cats over the weekend while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She provided incredibly detailed updates after every visit, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and took the most beautiful photos of our cats, which gave us so much reassurance while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our cats were being looked after by someone who genuinely cares about them. It was clear from the updates and the attention she gave them that they were in the best hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Kiwi again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies—we’re so grateful!
Kiran has been a god send for me and my dog Jac. He’s an old boy who’s also blind and deaf and she has been so loving and affectionate towards him. Kiran sends me updates when she is with Jac which is highly appreciated. Even the concierge at my apartment block have commented how lovely Kiran is and how much Jac likes her. I highly recommend Kiran. Thank you Kiran.
We had a wonderful experience with PUI YAN (IRIS) looking after our two cats, Chelsea and Felix. She took great care of them while we were away, making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention. She kept us updated with messages, lots of videos and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and respected their different personalities. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and everything was just as we left it. We would happily recommend PUI YAN Y to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Chelsea and Felix!
Ainara was wonderful with my two indoor cats! She was really communicative, asking what time was best to feed them in the evening, and when it was really hot she visited 3 times to make sure they were okay without me asking. Your cats will be in great hands with Ainara 😸😽
Wing was incredible with our cats we are so grateful. This was the first time we had left them for a few days so we were a little anxious. Wing reassured us when she came to visit prior to our trip and she was brilliant with the visits. Our cats can be a little nervous, Walter and specially but even he softened to Wing by the end. We felt so reassured with all the videos, photos and updates Wing sent us, the cats looked so happy we were worried in the end that the cats wouldn’t miss us at all! 😀 Thank you Wing for looking after Walter and Jeramy we will definitely use Wing again…the cats will want us too!
Christine did an amazing job with our cat Zest, she was communicative, proactive, and took lots of cute videos and photos whilst cat sitting for 7 days, we felt like Zest had a third parent whilst we were away and would 1000% get Christine to cat sit for us again. Zest can be quite shy and often hides from people so we were worried that Christine might not be able to spend real time with him. Thankfully, Christine's patience and attentiveness shone through, as she was able to win Zest over and take extremely good care of him. We'd definitely recommend Christine for pet sitting in general, she's a safe pair of hands who will love your pet as much as you do. Thanks so much for taking care of Zest once again!

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!

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.
