“Nicola was great with our cats - she regularly sent us updates and when we came home our cats looked healthy and well looked after. Would book with her again! She’s also very lovely to deal with and made the whole process very easy.”
“Thanks again to Kayleigh for looking after Puss while I’ve been away. Since Puss got poorly, I’ve been more nervous about leaving her, but Kayleigh keeps me updated and sends amazing pictures. Puss lives playing with her and seems so relaxed. Thanks for helping me to enjoy my break. 🥰”
About: I had a family dog since I was a teenager for 12 years and have looked after them in my spare time ever since. Now in my thirties, I've gained a lot of experience with dogs of many different ages, breeds and temperaments. I'm currently available pretty much whenever you need, for whatever you need. Whether it be just a few hours or a few days, I'm happy to help!I I live on a quiet, dog friendly cut-de-sac with lots of parks nearby. And I have a fenced garden, with plenty of space for your pup to run around and play.
“Paige has been an absolute superstar with Cheddar and Skittle. The fact that they warmed to her so quickly is a testament to her kind and gentle nature, she truly understood their personalities and tended to their individual needs. We didn’t worry about them once and her detailed pet cards were both a source of entertainment and a much needed source of relief being away from our pets! I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou for everything Paige! Xx”
“Such a lovely girl, managed to help me with my parents choc lab I was caring for last minute & couldn’t have asked for a better service. Got plenty of updates & photos during her visit, she even won over my cat! Thank you again 🙌🏼🤎”
“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.”
“Megan was amazing with my new puppy during her puppy drop in visits. She sat with her and implemented the same commands that I told her I had been using . She made sure the house was secured upon exiting and my puppy would forward to her coming in. Thanks again Megan”
“I requested Demmi look after my cat quite last minute and she was quick to respond and very professional. She provided updates every day and did a great job looking after my cat. I would book her services again.”
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and run Ruby’s Retreat, a home-from-home boarding service in Dukinfield. As a Rover Star Sitter with 33 five-star reviews, I provide personalised care in a calm family environment. I work from home, meaning dogs receive company, supervision and attention throughout the day. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, nervous dogs, medication administration and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated as an individual and I take time to learn their personality, routine and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed and settled during their stay. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept dogs that I feel will be a good fit for the environment, ensuring a positive experience for everyone. I work from home full-time, which means dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day. Each day includes garden access, exercise, playtime, rest periods and lots of interaction. I adapt routines to suit individual dogs, whether they prefer active days, quiet companionship or a little of both. I am flexible with feeding schedules, medication requirements and established routines to help your dog feel comfortable and settled during their stay. At Ruby’s Retreat, dogs stay in a calm family home with secure outdoor space and are treated as part of the family. I carefully manage introductions and group dynamics to ensure dogs are well matched and comfortable with one another. Every dog receives individual attention and I take time to understand their personality, routine and any specific needs before their stay. Dogs are welcome on furniture and have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day. However, I am always happy to follow an owner’s preferred rules and routines to maintain consistency. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout your dog’s stay, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sarah was super lovely as always, providing daily updates and pictures so I knew Ziva was being looked after. Sarah is always very thorough with looking after Ziva and makes sure she is clear on everything, so it’s wonderful to have someone you can trust to look after your pet. I would definitely recommend Sarah!”
“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’ve always had pets since a child, as well as I have my animal care level 3 and my canine first aid. I also have my own business that has personal insurance. I currently have my own business but I am mostly free, I am unavailable before dinner on Mondays. Tuesdays-Thursdays I am available from 9-10:30 then 12-5. Fridays I am free all day. I will be looking after your pets in your home as I have a older dog that doesn’t like dogs and a guinea pig as well
“Hazel is honestly amazing! She is super reliable and always on time, and you can tell she genuinely cares about my cats. They absolutely love her! She plays with them and spends time making sure they’re happy. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such good hands when I’m not home. 100% recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need extra patience and support. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, leash training and reinforcing good manners through positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and body language, making sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I aim to keep pets relaxed and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits around my weekly college schedule, which I attend four days a week, plus one day of work experience at a doggy daycare. I’m used to structured routines and being around animals every day. Outside of those hours, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends. My experience at a busy daycare has made me confident managing different personalities, keeping pets safe, and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection whenever I’m with them. I’m also happy to be contacted about caring for other types of pets, including reptiles and small animals. Safety is always my top priority. I’ve done work experience in a veterinary clinic for 4 years, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all temperaments and have a good understanding of their health and behavior. I’m able to notice early signs of stress or illness and handle situations calmly if anything seems off. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable. I make sure doors are secure, double-check leashes and harnesses, and keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time. I’m careful about unsafe foods or objects and always aim to keep things calm and clean. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: My names Amy & I have two beautiful dogs called Narla and Mika! Narla is an XL Bully and Mika is a Patterdale Terrier. I have loved animals ever since I was only a few years old, ranging from Cats, dogs, gerbils, degu’s, skinny pigs and many more! I have worked with many different breeds with many different temperaments. Every dog is different and that’s what makes them all special in their own little way. I’m currently working part time, meaning I have time both before and after my shift to care for your pets. Whether that’s for a cuddle or a feed! I am DBS checked, have pet first aid and many other animal qualifications meaning my knowledge of pets wellbeing and what to do in the harder situations is advanced!
About: I worked at a dog groomers in the past and also a doggy day care. I like dogs more than most people, will travel to your home but I have a child so your dogs would have to be good with children if they are to come and stay over at our home. She loves dogs just as much as I do if not more! I’ve always had dogs of my own so and often look after friends and family dogs and cats if they ever go away. I am very flexible and almost always at home so pretty much always available to look after your beautiful fur babies :) cats are also welcome. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile. I appreciate it.

Cannot recommend Rachel enough! So attentive to our two cats and stayed with them for a good while to give them lots of attention. She sent updates everyday and always kept us up to date. This was our first time using a cat sitter and we were really put at ease! Thank you again xxx
Dawn was fantastic as a cat sitter. Dawn is great at communicating and following up on emails and booking, she is reliable and comes at the time agreed, she sent pics of Marvin and let me know how he was doing regularly and she will do little extras like picking up post and closing the curtains when asked. Moreover she left the kitchen and Marvin’s dishes clean and tidy. I would absolutely rebook Dawn for as long as she is a cat sitter. Thank you Dawn.
Kayleigh was fantastic from start to finish Her communication was brilliant and it was easy to setup a meet and greet, where we could tell she loved all pets and was a very kind, genuine person During the visits Kayleigh provided brilliant updates each day detailing what she had done during the visit and how our cat was doing which gave us peace of mind, she also included lots of photos which was nice! Our cat is usually very shy around new people but it seems she took a real liking to Kayleigh We would highly recommend and will definitely be using Kayleigh again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tameside on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of August 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 1,846 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Tameside. About 92% of Tameside 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
