About: Lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and needs, including senior and post-surgery care. I'll treat your pet like family. My fiancé, Darnell, and I work from home with flexible hours, providing plenty of walks, play, cuddles and companionship. Safe transport available for adventures with your pet, too. Secure fenced garden, no other household pets unless agreed beforehand, and I'm happy to follow your pet's routine, preferences, and care instructions exactly.
About: Hi, I’m Keri! 👋 I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a busy, pet-filled household in South Africa, and I've been living here in the UK for the last few years. From massive, lovable Rottweilers and energetic German Shepherds to gentle Maltese Poodles, Labradors, and rescue cats, I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes caring for a wide range of dog breeds and cats, many of which were rescues, and each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has given me the ability to quickly adapt and provide tailored care for any pet. I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind, so my absolute priority is to provide a safe, comfortable, and affectionate environment where they can thrive until you get back. I currently work in a hybrid setting. This means that I have the flexibility to work from the comfort of your pets home to keep them company during the day. Alternatively, I'm available to sleep in Thursday to Monday or do evening check-ins during the week. For me, exceptional pet care comes down to consistency, safety, and open communication. Every pet has a unique personality and history, especially rescues, and I easily adapt my approach to make them feel comfortable and happy. * **Secure Environment:** I have a fully secured garden with a 6-foot fence, offering a safe space for dogs to enjoy time outside. * **Respecting Routines:** I strictly mirror your pet's existing feeding, exercise, and sleep schedules to minimize separation anxiety. * **Safety & Security:** I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensure all gates and doors are secured, and keep dogs strictly on-leash during walks unless in a designated enclosed area. * **Peace of Mind:** I provide regular photo updates so you always know how they are doing. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a calm, structured environment filled with lots of love and cuddles, giving you total peace of mind while you are away.
About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat owner with many years of experience caring for pets. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and sitting services in Stockport. I’m calm, reliable, and patient, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, and I always follow your routine closely. You can expect dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates while you’re away. As I am retired, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give pets regular attention, walks, feeding, and companionship without rushing. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in all pet care services I provide. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully and make sure pets are kept secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. For dog walking, I use safe walking practices, keep dogs on leads unless instructed otherwise, and avoid unsafe areas. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I ensure your home is respected, secure, and left exactly as found. I am calm, reliable, and attentive, and I take time to understand each pet’s needs and routine. I will also provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you are away.
About: I’ve had pets in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m experienced with Rover, having used the platform before, so I’m comfortable with the process from booking through drop-off and pick-up. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs plenty of walks or a more laid-back dog who just wants company on the sofa, I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every dog in my care like my own. Your pup will get patience, attention, and a lot of love while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine rather than feeling like an extra task. I build my day around the animals in my care, making sure walks, feeding times, and play happen consistently rather than being squeezed in around everything else. I’m someone who enjoys being active and spending time outdoors, so daily walks are something I look forward to, not just a duty. I also value quiet, settled time with pets — whether that’s sitting with a cat while they nap nearby or winding down with a dog in the evening. Overall, caring for a pet becomes a genuine part of my day, not just a scheduled commitment. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in yours, safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets have a secure, calm space to settle in, with any hazards kept out of reach and a routine that mirrors what they’re used to as closely as possible. When I’m in a pet owner’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own — following house rules, keeping doors and gates secure, and sticking to the pet’s normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routine so there’s minimal disruption to their day. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual needs and always keep an eye out for anything that seems off, so I can act quickly and keep owners in the loop. I’m also DBS checked.
“Sarah was great at making sure Luna was okay while I was away. She arrived promptly, engaged with Luna and changed food, water and her tray. I would definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks Sarah!”
About: I have had cats from a very early age I've recently had a dog for 3 years and helped to train him from being a pup he was a cockapoo and very much loved unfortunately due to splitting up from my partner I no longer have him. I love all pets as my own and they are definitely made to be part of the family. I have a 16 Yr old boy who to loves animals. I love walking we have lovely parks close by. My son will not be walking or looking after just me. I work from home whilst my son is at school so always with the animals when needed I have breaks for walks and plenty cuddles. I have a backyard fenced off so door is open when needed to go out, I have no pets of my own so one to one attention always.
About: I provide a truly caring, home-from-home pet care and dog walking service, treating every dog as if the were my own. I’m canine first aid trained and have completed several professional training programmes, ensuring your dog is safe, understood and genuinely cared for at all times. Dog walking and care is my main job. I am building a thoughtful business that works with my family by supporting and understanding the pressures of modern life. I have a secure fenced garden and lots of local parks for great walks. Those staying over can attend walks with me, if suitable and overnight can sleep in or out of crate, depending on their preference.
“I’ve used Amy’s services three times now, and once again, she did an amazing job. My cat is clearly comfortable with her and trusts her completely. I can leave my cat in her care and be away with total peace of mind. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“I can’t recommend Ros enough, so so glad we decided to go with her to look after Rudy. She really effectively communicates and made sure she was well aware of what Rudy needed from his visit. She updated us throughout the day and Rudy looked so happy spending time with her ☺️”
“Peter was friendly, professional and really goes the extra mile for the pups he cares for. We are really grateful that our puppy Stephen got to spend some time with him today (especially as it was last minute) and would absolutely recommend. The care and attention Peter puts into his bookings is so lovely. Thank you Peter!!!”
About: From being a teenager I have looked after family and neighbours pets when needed. Anything from birds & hamsters to cats & dogs, I have looked after it. I have previously owned a cat and currently own a bulldog. I work from home in Offerton most of the time and am looking for somw furry friends to help fill the gaps between meetings or outside of work hours. Weekly routine varies week on week but can be flexible. When walking your dog I will ensure they are on lead and always carry a spare lead for emergencies. I will discuss any triggers, behaviours or other requirements your dog has before taking them to make sure your fur baby has the best experience.
About: Dogs have been in my family since I was born. As such, I have a knack for being playful yet can apply firm instruction when needed. I have a calm disposition and feel that dogs can sense this and respond well to it. I am here to give your pet the care and attention they diserve, meaning walks and play but also creating a relaxing atmosphere and cuddles too. I run my own business out of my home and so can work pet care vary easily into my routine and am very flexible. I have a car and so distance isn't an issue either. I am always the first to dog/cat sit for friends when they're away. I have a mix of toys and treats that I bring with me every time I take care of a pet but if they have a favourite toy, the better. I take my time, treating every pet as an individual and every sit seriously. I look forward to getting to know each animal and their personality every time I sit for one.
“Elizabeth was fantastic! She asked all the right questions about the care for our cat, and took plenty of photos for her check-in. Reliable, trustworthy and kind. Would highly recommend! <3”
About: I can look after or care for your dog when you are at work. I used to have a couple of Jack Russells and some years ago a couple of border collies. All from puppies. I work from home now and live by myself and would love some company. I have a garden. My son has a dog Luna, Pixie is my twin sister’s dog and Tomaquet & Moocher were my Jack Russells. I am flexible on days as I am home every day including evenings and weekends. Able to take out for walks. I have a fenced garden. Happy to have 2 dogs from the same family. Also doggy day care is available. I have a Chi-Poo (Chihuahua mixed with a toy poodle). I started to use Rover myself as a customer last year as occasionally I have to go to Nottingham for a day with work, but started to care for other people's dogs earlier this year. I am getting really booked up so if you could confirm your booking as soon as you are able to after the meet and greet so that I can guarantee the booking for your doggie woggie that would be great. I like to arrange a meet and greet first though anyway and do that at my house in Woodsmoor so that your pooch can get used to a new environment and feel more familiar. I have looked after a variety of dogs including rescue dogs who need socialising with other dogs, taller dogs who can open door handles, greedy dogs who need to be given only the right amount of food so I have to watch that they don’t pinch other dogs food, down to the real, cheeky, sweet ones who are mischievous but you can’t help loving them as they are furiously wagging their tail 😂😂😂 I have looked after puppies, dogs with attitudes and the ones who like do things on their terms but I know what I can handle with boundaries. If I or Minnie are not happy with a dog I will say so but to be honest this has only happened a couple of times. I need to know your furbaby will be comfortable too xx I work from home so can care for dogs in my house. I don’t put my dog in kennels as she is not an outside kennel dog. Minnie shares the bed with me and I am happy for your special pooch to do the same. However if your dog is crate trained I can also accommodate that. I live near Mirlees fields, but also like going to Cale Green Park, Bramhall Park, Bruntwood Park and Vernon Park. I have a fenced in garden and always take dogs out on a lead. I love looking after dogs in my own house. My dog likes running around the garden. I have loads of fields nearby so if your dog is ok off the lead they can have a run around. I use dog seats in my car when travelling to ensure that all the doggies are kept safe!
About: I've been an animal person since I was really young but never had a dog or cat over because mum is allergic. My husband and I adopted a rescue dog the year we were married and it was the best thing we ever did. Since then, we've opened our homes and hearts to several rescues, fosters, and furry boarders! Rest assured, your fur baby will be pampered spoilt at ours! I work part-time and spend a few days of the week working from home, and my husband travels on work once or twice a week, so we are available to board most days of the week. Additionally I am VTQ certified in Advanced Pet first aid, so your pet is in safe hands, should it ever be needed. Our home is a large enough space for your fur baby to run around free. We also have a 6 and a half year old rescue indie-spitz who would love to make new play mates!
About: We got our first family dog when I was about 8 years old. When I was about 14 we adopted Mickey, aged 2 - the family dog who sadly passed last year, aged 19. Since then my family had Pablo, an energetic Sprocker Spaniel. And my partner and I have had our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Copper, for 6 years from being a puppy. I regularly care for Pablo when my parents are on holiday, and have looked after friends dogs in the past. I'm working from home typically 2 days a week. On the days I'm in work, my dog will be looked after by friends or parents. My daily routine when working from home consists of a 45 minute walk first thing in the morning to the local park - usually 7.30/8am - and if the dog is up for it, the same in the late afternoon. I have a small secure garden which is padlocked at the back. I don't leave my dog unsupervised outside and just let him out for the toilet. I work upstairs in the spare room - so I just put the dogs bed next to my desk where he likes to sit. He will go down and get water when he needs it.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since we got our sassy queen, Missy (cat) when I was 10 and gorgeous boy Sam (Collie cross) when I was 11. I work full time in MCR, but 2 days are working from home so always out and about for walks around the Davenport area. Typically free on the weekends too, so can take them for bigger walks Happy to pop round or care for your pet at my house. We have a garden with a small lawn so plenty of space for them.
“Lauren dropped in on our puppy to give him a walk and some playtime and he clearly had a great time! Well looked after as ever, with great updates and a summary for us so that was really appreciated. Thanks Lauren!”

Elsa was brilliant - she looked after our 4 cats (2 slightly older boys and 2 kittens!) really well and gave us really clear updates upon each visit. She let us know how well they were feeding, left everything really tidy upon our return and showed expert communication. Thank you so much Elsa!
Ellie Mae looked after my two cats whilst I was away for a few days. Ellie Mae is very professional, calm, efficient and friendly. She communicated with me daily, sending updates and photographs. My cats were very well looked after. I would definitely book her again and I would highly recommend her with no hesitation.
Steph was fantastic with our fur babies. As rescues, they are always nervous with new people. Steph took time to bond with them during the week and we came home to two happy and relaxed cats. She followed instructions, gave fabulous, reassuring updates and left the cat’s area clean and tidy.
Clare is the most amazing cat sitter. She’s looked after our elderly cat several times now and does so with much love and care. We know our cat is in safe hands and we always come home to a calm and happy pet. And Clare’s photo and video updates are wonderful - you get proper portraits in addition to top cat sitting 😊
Aisling was brilliant at looking after our two cats. We came home to two very happy girls! Aisling was great at keeping us up to date, and was especially sensitive to the needs of our quite anxious cat. She even had to deal with some sick, which went over and above! Huge thanks x
Natalie provided excellent care for our two cats while we were away. She was cool under pressure; when one of the girls refused to come back in, she waited patiently for me to reply with the secret to ensuring compliance (meaty sticks). Then when the latch on our front door broke, she was able to figure out a solution and kept us informed of what was going on. On top of all this, she petted, played and cleaned up after the girls, kept my potted plants alive and was generally lovely to interact with.
Rita was absolutely amazing with Tinkerbell. She sent lots of photos and videos and let me know at each visit if Tinker had eaten or not. Tinker is 17 and Rita looked after her during the heatwave, she opened door and windows whilst at the house to get fresh air in to make it more comfortable for Tinker. She truly was amazing and I will 100% ask her to look after Tinker again.
Will is absolutely fantastic! He took wonderful care of my cats, and I couldn't be happier with his service. He was incredibly attentive and careful, making sure they were happy and well-fed at all times. I loved receiving his regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Not only did he top up their food and give them plenty of playtime and attention, but he also went completely above and beyond by cleaning up after Latte. Will is reliable, kind, and genuinely cares about the animals. I will definitely be using him again in the future and fully recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch cat sitter!

There are 1,814 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Stockport. About 92% of Stockport sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. 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.
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.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
