“Mary is an amazing cat sitter! She kept us constantly updated with photos and messages, ensuring we felt at ease while away. Trustworthy, flexible, and caring, she truly went above and beyond for our cat. Her attention to detail and reliability made all the difference. We highly recommend Mary—she’s the best! 🐾💕”
“We were lucky enough to have Jess again to take care of our baby girl Margo again whilst we were away! Wouldn’t want anyone else! She is so good with our timid girl. Thorough updates and so lovely!! Couldn’t ask for more! ☺️ thank you again Jess!!”
“Fiona was interested to learn all about our cat as it was the first time we’d left her. She sent messages to let us know the cat was ok which helped to reassure us. We would definitely use Fiona again. Thank you.”
“Sarah was amazing and very patient with our shy Rupert. Sent timely updates with pictures, even managed to find where he’s hiding! Come back home to a happy and relaxed cat, would highly recommend! 😊”
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.
“Elle is fantastic with communication and making sure Buffy is safe and being well cared for whilst I am away. She provides me lots of videos and pictures to put my mind at ease and cares for her like her own. Thank you again 💗”
“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”
“My pet care wasn't standard, as it involved cats and my rats. This sitter overcame her own fear of rodents and took wonderful care of them. The animals weren't stressed, and the sitter respected the cats' avoidance of contact. Interestingly, the rats were eager to play, which is a good sign, as they're usually wary. Cats and dogs can easily be bribed with treats, but rodents are impossible, and for me, that confirms that I made a good choice in sitter.”
“We couldn’t recommend Nicola enough, she was absolutely fabulous with our cat Callie while we were on holiday. She was trustworthy, punctual and sent us some lovely photo updates. She even thoughtfully put out our bins, which we really appreciated. Thank you Nicola for taking such good care of Callie!”
“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”
“Natalie was a wonderful sitter for our elderly cat. She was so caring, she brushed and cuddled him every day and sent us lots of photos. She didn’t mind cleaning his litter tray. Thanks so much Natalie”
“Dex treated our cat, Missy, very well and I am recommending her as an animal lover and will surely book her again in the future. Communication was excellent, sending us pictures with our fur baby and keeping us informed during our trip away. 5/5 stars”
“I came back from my first trip away to a very happy and well-fed kitten. Madi dealt wonderfully with his hesitance around new people and it's clear from the photo and video updates that they were already best of friends after only a few visits. Excellent communication throughout, thank you very much!”

Mary was absolutely brilliant - she was really meticulous during the initial meet up and made sure she knew everything about the cats. Her updates during the stay were so detailed and had so many lovely pictures of each cat and a specific piece of info about each one. We couldn't have asked for anything better really! :)
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
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.

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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Stockport pet parents with similar pet households.
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 .
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 Stockport 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
