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.
“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: 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.
“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:)”
“Iris was super lovely and took great care of our cat! Sent lots of photos and videos, and made sure she got lots of fuss and treats. Great communication and great service.”
“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.”
“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: 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: 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: 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: Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a 23-year-old lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for pups of all breeds and sizes. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how important it is to provide them with the love, care, and attention they deserve. Whether your furry friend needs a long walk, playtime, or just some cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help! I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. From energetic puppies to older dogs who need a bit of extra care, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. Let’s make sure your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away! Unfortunately I would not be equipped to handle a nervous dog. When taking on a pet I want to ensure it has the best care and I do not feel that I could deliver the best care. As someone who works from home, I have the perfect setup to provide your pet with the attention and care they need throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate walks, feeding times, play sessions, and plenty of cuddles. Whether your pet thrives on routine or needs a bit of extra care, I’m always nearby to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine and provide them with companionship, and I’m here to help them feel right at home—even when you’re away! Whether your pet stays in my home or yours, their comfort and happiness are my top priorities. • In My Home: I create a safe, welcoming, and stress-free environment where your pet can feel at ease. With plenty of space to play, relax, and explore, they’ll get the attention they need all day long. I work from home, so they’ll always have companionship, regular walks, and lots of love. • In Your Home: If your pet is more comfortable staying in their own environment, I’ll come to you! I’ll maintain their daily routine, keep their living space clean, and provide them with all the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to. Plus, I’ll happily send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, no matter where they stay!

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.

Wing was amazing at looking after our cats while we were away. She sent us lots of updates and took great care of them. Our cats are a bit anxious around new people but they quickly warmed to Wing and loved spending time with her. Thank you! :) Jonathan and Oliver
Took great care of my cat. Kiran sent me photos and videos, where I could see he was totally relaxed and happy. We had a great meeting beforehand to meet him and get to know him, as well as finding out about any medications and his eating habits. Really put my mind at ease when I was away!
Steve was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Polite, friendly, and reassuring! We did a little meet and greet with our cat Kevin before we left, and they warmed to one another immediately. This was the first time Kevin has been left for a few days so that was really reassuring and we felt confident leaving Kev with Steve. Every single day, we the check-in update through the website, and also additional messages and pictures of Kev playing and being fussed. He’s been fed, played with, loved, and his box cleaned out, and upon returning we found a very relaxed contented cat. Excellent service from beginning to end, and will absolutely come to Steve first for any future adventures!
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!
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Rachel! She looked after Mochi while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She took fantastic care of Mochi, kept us updated, and came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. I can’t recommend her enough and would definitely trust her to look after Mochi again!
Highly recommend Michelle if you're looking for a car sitter. Very experienced, caring, reliable, trustworthy, & clearly enjoys the job. We were nervous leaving our 6m kitten Jupiter for the first time, but as soon as we met Michelle we knew she was the right person. Jupiter has loved his daily visits whilst we've been away 🙂.
Chloe was absolutely fantastic looking after our two cats. Her communication was brilliant throughout, with regular updates that really put us at ease. Even though our cats have slightly odd routines and instructions because they’re older, she followed everything perfectly. She was so gentle, kind, and patient with them, and it was clear how comfortable they felt in her care. We’d highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat sitter.

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.
