Our first cat-sitting experience and we are so pleased Elizabeth picked us. Phoenix was very well looked after and he is happy. We cannot recommend Elizabeth enough for all her patience, efficiency, hard-work and dedication.

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: Registered veterinary nurse for 10 years. Throughout my course, I have helped clients animals with diabetes, cushings syndrome etc. if your animal needs to be given medication. Currently I am doing a course from home in veterinary and teaching. So I am flexible around catering for the animal and their needs as best I can. My garden is fenced with a pathway for more nervous animals that struggle socialising. There is also a park one minute walk away, that is normally fairly quiet for them. All furniture in the house is okay for them to sit and sleep on.

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.

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: 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: 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: In our home, dogs are the babies of the family! They are always cared for every need they may have, whether it’s a nice long walk or cuddles on the sofa. Myself and partner Rick, welcome any breed of any size and age. We have previous experience with our late pet Akita, Winnie. We rescued Winnie in her older years, going from big long walkies and zoomies, to her slower pace of life. With this we have experience with a strong dog on lead, and any health issue your pet may have/ need a little help with (Winnie was incontinent in later life). We are happy to cater to any need/ guidance you have for your pooch, they will be welcomed with open arms and lots of dog treats! Currently work Monday to Friday full time. We can cater for weekend dog sitting, walks, drop ins, and any other need. We are happy to take dogs on long walks or even to dog play fields. If dog sitting for your pet we would allow them to explore the home so that they are comfortable in their new surroundings. We allow them to roam freely all around the house when we are home, or if we nipped to the shop they would have free rein of the large spacious kitchen/ diner that would have access to food/ water/ bed/ toys. All pets are allowed on the sofas/ bed as they are part of the family! For anything like walks or drop ins to your home we would treat your home with great respect and care, making sure your pooch has enough food/ water and any other comforts it may need.

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: 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.

About: I have been around dogs all my life and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Alongside being a devoted dog owner, I have spent 25 years working in health and social care, where trust, compassion, responsibility and attention to individual wellbeing have always been at the heart of my work. I am currently training as a counsellor, which has further strengthened my skills in patience, communication and building trusting relationships. I bring this same calm and caring approach to looking after dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure and comfortable while in my care. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and temperaments, including energetic dogs who require plenty of exercise as well as older dogs who benefit from a gentler pace and consistent routine. I understand the importance of following owners' instructions carefully and maintaining routines to help dogs feel relaxed and settled. My aim is to provide a safe, home-from-home experience where your dog is treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection and enrichment while you're away. I am able to provide a flexible and reliable pet care service throughout the week, with plenty of time dedicated to ensuring dogs receive the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I share my home with my friendly and sociable dog, Monty, who is 8 years old and enjoys the company of other dogs. Because every dog is different, I believe it is important to arrange an initial meet and greet before accepting any booking. This gives me the opportunity to get to know your dog, understand their personality, routine and individual needs, and ensure they are comfortable around Monty and in the home environment. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I take the time to learn about their usual routine, preferences and any special requirements. My aim is to help every dog feel safe, relaxed and settled while they are in my care. When boarding, dogs will be treated as part of the family and will receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and enrichment throughout the day. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they are away. As I am building a professional pet care business alongside my counselling studies and drawing on 25 years of experience working in health and social care, I have chosen a flexible working model that allows me to focus on providing high-quality, personalised care rather than taking on large numbers of dogs at once. My priority is always to create a safe, caring and trustworthy environment where both dogs and owners feel comfortable and confident. I only accept dogs that I feel are a good fit for my home environment, which is why I arrange a meet and greet before confirming any booking. This allows me to understand your dog's temperament, routine and needs, and ensure they are comfortable around my dog, Monty. I own my home and have both front and rear fenced gardens, providing secure outdoor space for supervised time outside. Inside, I have the flexibility to separate areas of the house if required, allowing dogs to have their own space to relax or to support a gradual introduction process where appropriate. I understand that not all dogs settle in the same way, and I am happy to adapt the environment to meet individual needs. I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise and daily routines. Dogs are supervised appropriately, and I take the time to ensure introductions are managed safely and positively. As someone who has worked in health and social care for 25 years, I understand the importance of trust, safeguarding and responsibility. I hold an Enhanced DBS check and have completed canine first aid training, providing additional reassurance that your dog is in safe and capable hands. I believe every dog deserves individual attention, so I limit the number of dogs in my care to ensure they receive the time, supervision and care they need. I maintain regular communication with owners and am happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their dog's stay. My aim is to give owners complete peace of mind, knowing their dog is safe, happy and cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since my university days, looking after a Great British Bulldog, a Coton de Tuléar, and several Welsh Collies. These very different breeds taught me how to handle strong, stubborn personalities, gentle companion dogs, and intelligent working breeds with high energy. I’m confident with a wide range of temperaments and always adapt my approach to what each dog needs to feel safe, calm, and happy. I currently have full availability and can be flexible around your pet’s routine. Whether you need early‑morning walks, daytime drop‑ins, or evening care, I’m able to fit around your schedule. I’m also available at short notice and happy to discuss regular bookings or one‑off visits depending on what works best for you and your pet. I focus on keeping their routine exactly as you’ve set it. I follow feeding times, walk schedules, and any training you’re working on, and I make sure your pet feels calm and secure in their familiar environment.

Ailsa looked after Lucy on really short notice. She came to do a meet and greet on an extremely quick timescale and looked after our dog for us a couple of days later. Our dog can be a handful and has very particular needs and Ailsa really understood what we needed and what our dog needed too. She really put us at ease and did a fantastic job. We came home to a very chilled out and tired dog who seemed to have had a great time. She kept us updated and sent photos too, which was very reassuring for us as this is the first time we have left her with anyone that isn’t family. Will definitely be using again and I would highly recommend.

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!

Clare was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for our cats. She kept us updated throughout the days. This was our first time booking a cat sitter and we felt nervous. But clare really put us at ease. I really liked that she came to visit before the booking and was really thorough in checking little details. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our cats in her hands. We ended up having to extend our booking last minute and clare easily amended this for us. Nothing was too much trouble. We have a nervous cat and she even put soothing music on to help keep her relaxed. We are so glad we've found clare and will definitely be booking with her again.

  • 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.
