“Jess looked after our Cat over Easter and did an excellent job and we will be booking her again over Summer. From our first meeting we knew she was the right woman for the job. Jess took great care of our Lily and put out the bins and left lights on at night as requested. Highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth was really thorough with her care of our cat and even managed to get him to come to say hi and give some affection despite normally finding it hard to relax around new people. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
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.
“Sarah is such a lovely lady. She looked after our cat Snowy while we were on holiday. She came at regular times, sorted out her feeds and spent time with her playing, she gave me updates and pictures every day which is very reassuring, and nice to know that she’s being looked after. I’ll definitely use Sarah again for our next trip x”
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 passionate dog and cat lover. I had a cat for 5 years in high school, and then had the opportunity to help my friend care for a dog for 2 years. While I don't currently have pets of my own, I truly miss having furry companions around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I work full-time on weekdays and am available for pet sitting on weekends. I'm an early riser and can typically provide care from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I will follow the owner's instructions to ensure the pet has fresh water, is fed on schedule and feel comfortable. I'm also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have a City & Guilds Level 3 qualification in Animal Management, during this course I learned about range of things involving animal care, behaviour and first aid. I have cared for animals throughout my life, growing up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I have completed several volunteer placements in animal care, including a year-long placement at a small animal boarding facility where I walked dogs and carried out daily husbandry for a range of small animals. I am currently on a gap year and will be starting a Zoology degree at the end of September 2026. I am passionate about animal welfare and eager to continue gaining practical experience in animal care. I’ve recently returned home from travelling and will be starting university (while still living at home) at the end of September 2026. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to fit dog walks and drop-in visits into my daily routine. From September, I’ll be at university on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, so my availability will be more limited on these days. Outside of my university hours, I’m still able to offer walks and visits where my schedule allows. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine wherever possible, so they can receive the care, attention and exercise they need. I offer local dog walks, taking one dog at a time to ensure they receive my full attention and a safe, enjoyable walk tailored to their needs. I also provide drop-in visits in your home, where I can feed your pet, refill their water, give them company and playtime, and make sure they're happy and comfortable while you're away. I always follow your pet's usual routine and any specific instructions you provide to help them feel safe and settled.
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.
“Peter was a great pet sitter. Good communication, trust and reliability. He asked the right questions to understand her needs and as a result ny cat was well taken care of and all her needs met whilst I was away. Thank you”
“Amy was great when sitting our cat Ally. She gave regular updates after her daily visits including photos and videos. Ally was clearly very comfortable around Amy and we'd happily use her again in the future.”
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: My partner Scott grew up with dogs and I have been caring for family and friends dogs for over 5 years on overnight stays, walks and daycare, and now we have had our own for nearly 3 years since she was a puppy. With our springer spaniel Georgie, we have been through puppy training, Kennel Club training and more recently gundog training so able to cope with dogs of all ages and have knowledge on working breeds. Our springer spaniel absolutely loves to run and play with other dogs but also loves a good nap on the sofa so would be a good companion during the dog’s stay. We love going for walks, to coffee shops and to the pub with the dogs as part of our outings at the weekends as well as cosy nights at home on the sofa to meet as many of your dog’s needs as possible! We both work full time on a hybrid basis, meaning there would always be someone home with the dogs - our dog has a garden to play in and lunchtime walks in the week. At the weekend and in evenings we go for walks and outings to ensure the dog has a good time. We have a fully enclosed garden and plenty of inside space for the dog to play and snooze too. We can accommodate the dog to sleep anywhere overnight, as you wish with a crate, dog bed or wherever they are most comfortable. Our dog sleeps in the kitchen or living room but can be flexible for your dog’s needs.
About: I’ve grown up with a huge love for animals and have always felt happiest around furry friends! 🐾 Over the years I’ve had rabbits and guinea pigs, and I’ve gained lots of experience looking after dogs through dog sitting and taking them on walks. I’m also a proud cat mum, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for cats and understanding their different personalities, routines and needs. I absolutely love getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company, I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, patience and care I’d want for my own. 💕🐶🐱🐰 I am currently not working full time so I have all the time in the world to do something I truly enjoy doing, i have always wanted to work around pets, so taking care of your babies would make my day! I am a very trustful person, funnily enough i think animals can sense this from me as they become very relaxed in my company! I always make sure that any pet is safe and comfortable in their environment.
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: 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.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Stockport
I honestly can’t thank Wil enough! He came to our rescue after we were let down by our previous cat sitter at the very last minute. Despite the short notice, he responded straight away and came round for a meet and greet within the hour! From the very beginning, Wil completely understood our cats and their individual personalities, and he went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable and well cared for. He worked around both his and our schedules to make sure they had the best possible care while we were away. The updates we received were absolutely brilliant and gave us so much peace of mind while we were on holiday. It was clear from the photos and messages that the cats were getting plenty of attention and were really happy with him. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Wil was reliable, caring, communicative and clearly loves animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will definitely be booking him again!
Alice cat sat for our cat gang of 3 for 5 days. She was fabulous! She sent plenty of updates, was caring to our cats, spent time to understand their individual needs and spent time playing with them. Alice took care of all their usual tasks (feeding, litter trays) with no issue. We returned to 3 happy cats! Our eldest Taco is scared of strangers and when we return from trips, he usually takes a while to re-surface from his hiding spot. Although he mostly hid when Alice visited (v standard for him), when we returned he came bounding down the stairs in less than a minute or two! Thanks again Alice! 😊
Charlotte is very sweet and patient with our cat, who is a bit shy and timid. She managed to make him feel comfortable enough not to hide, which is quite rare! Would absolutely recommend her and we will be looking at booking with her again if we need cat sitter for Rupert 😊
Steph was absolutely amazing with the boys. Sent photos every other day and was really understanding with instructions. I can tell by the photos she sent the boys were so comfortable and happy with her. Will defiantly hire again when I go away!! Thank you so much again Steph xx
Mary was excellent with my senior cat Kit. She can be quite shy around people she doesn't know but she seemed to settle with Mary. Mary was quick to respond to any messages, scheduled a pre-visit to meet Kit and pick up keys, and provided daily WhatsApp updates with photos. Will definitely book again.
Jahan was absolutely fantastic ! She sent detailed daily updates with photos which gave us so much peace of mind. Our usually very shy cat warmed to Jahan quickly. What impressed me the most was the care and consideration Jahan payed to Jasmine’s needs which was clear as we came home to a relaxed and happy cat. I’d certainly book Jahan again and would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you much x

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Stockport on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,947 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Stockport. About 91% 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
