“Iris has been amazing with our cat Leo. Extremely thorough with learning his needs and taking lots of photos to show what's she's done. Leo was cuddling up to her in no time and we are extremely happy to have her keeping him company while we were away. We will definitely be asking Iris to look after him again, thanks so much!”


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.

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.
“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🐈🥰”

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 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.
“Olivia was fantastic with our dog Layla. She came to meet Layla beforehand, which we really appreciated. She then looked after Layla in our home and was reliable throughout, with great communication. We would happily recommend Olivia and would definitely book her again.”


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.
“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. ”

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 Spanish that moved to uk some time ago. At home we always had a cat with us, or even two. I love to spend time with my cats and I miss them. Every time I can I travel back to Spain to see my cats at my mom house. Now, we’ve got only one cat, Kitty, yes very obvious name, she is a beautiful black cat with green eyes, she has been with us for over 10 years now, I’ve even got a tattoo of her. She is still a very playful cat and everytime I go to visit the family we spend all the time playing.
About: I’m currently studying animal management in college therefore I have a deep understanding on animal husbandry and animals behaviours.Also during my college, I have done 200+hours at an animal shelter and dealing with different animals in college zoo park. Therefore I had provided extensive hands-on experience in animal handling and daily husbandry for a range of animals. I’m currently a full-time student so I’m only available on Fridays and weekends, 11am-3pm. 10am is also possible, please message me so we can discuss it under my work conditions. Looking forward to working with you! During visits I would give food/ snakes, give fresh water, outdoor break (in the garden) and relieve your fur baby if needed. Also, we would have some fun time and playing together around an hour. If there’s any requests like spend more time with your baby or other questions, please feel free to ask!
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.
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: *DBS checked & Insured* I have grown up with multiple cats, dogs and smaller pets and I continue this love for animals in my adult life. In my spare time I like to take my dog Tinkerbell to the Peak District, who is a small, loving and energetic Shih Tzu. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and I feel I can provide a loving and caring environment for any dog whilst their owners are away. Because of my experience growing up with animals, I completely understand that pets are part of the family and sometimes need more care and attention during times of separation. I work full-time in a work from home desk job. Whilst my hours are 9-5 I can be flexible. I generally work one day in the office but again this is something I would always try to be flexible with. I will always make time to give any cat or dog consistent attention throughout the day. I’m a very caring person and I make sure to prioritise food and toilet breaks for pets, as I can be flexible with my working hours.
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! 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.

Salford pet owners share their Rover experiences
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!

Wing has been absolutely amazing. Fantastic feedback everyday. Took pictures and when Kitty did show her face, Wing took a video. Stayed and sat with my very nervous and shy cat to make sure she was ok. Would highly recommend, and I will be bookther services again!!!

Imagine was lovely and friendly and looked after Orla so well. She was prompt and on the ball with any and all updates. She was also super helpful when I needed to adjust things slightly when my travel plans went awry! Thank you so much for looking after my ginger weirdo - she clearly had a great time with you :D xx

Rachel was the perfect person to check in on my cats. She went above and beyond, updated me every step of the way with great detail, and followed all my requests to a T! And as a bonus, my cats loved her and we're very comfortable around her calm demeanor! Definitely recommend Rachel to look after your cats.

Laura was absolutely fantastic looking after our two cats while we were away. From the very beginning, her communication was great- she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. What really stood out was Laura’s wonderfully gentle and caring nature. She clearly has a natural affinity with animals and took the time to get to know both of our cats, making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. It was obvious from the updates that they were receiving plenty of attention and affection, and they looked so relaxed and happy in her care. Coming home to two contented cats was such a lovely feeling. Laura is reliable, professional and kind- we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pets. We would love to have her back next time we go away!

Ada has done a wonderful job of looking after Dougie again! I've used her several times now and I always feel so much more relaxed knowing she's caring for my boy. She always sends nice little updates with some photos and if there are any concerns, she'll flag them straight away. Thank you!

Issy was SO good with Dora and made me feel so at ease. She clearly has a lot of experience and knows how to care for rescues that can be hard work sometimes. Issy was super friendly and confident on the initial meeting and also sent loads of fab updates during the drop ins. Would deffo recommend and so glad to find someone Dora likes to spend time with 💖 thank you!

Maisie was great to communicate with—quick to reply and flexible. She came for a meet and greet with Bertie beforehand, and he took to her straight away. He woukd have been excited to see her again for his drop-in and walk. I’d definitely book Maisie again for Bertie.
