“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. 🥰”
“Nicola was a dream. Really flexible and accommodating. She’s really approachable and made me feel instantly relaxed leaving our Cat in her care and visiting our home while we were away. We’ll definitely book Nicola again when we need a helping hand.”
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.
“As always Nicola was so great with our two cats. She is our regular pet sitter now and has a great availability. We are always getting some updates and pictures during our holidays so we can enjoy our time whilst knowing our cats are well taken care of :)”
“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”
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!
“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!”
“Sarah was incredibly responsive and very well prepared. She sent updates about the pet everyday and was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would 100% recommend Sarah if you require a pet sitter :)”
“Neoma is so lovely and trusted her completely with my boys! Kept in contact the entire time and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable the first time she had the dogs for me! Would definitely recommend :)”
“Very pleased with Demmi’s care and communication. We were apprehensive about having someone to look after our large Vizsla as they are high energy dogs but she did a fantastic job. Will be using her in future!”
“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 been a huge animal lover all my life; owning dogs, cats, reptiles & guinea pigs over the years. I’m experienced from large breed dogs (my own girl was a GSDxLab), to small breed dogs (regularly boarded a little pug called Marcy). I can’t wait to spend time with your fur babies and provide them the love and enrichment they need while you work!! Currently working a 4 day shift pattern, which can change from week to week, but I’ll update my availability to reflect this. I live close to lots of green space so there’s lots of options for long & short walks, and I also drive so I’m more than happy to take them on a big day out if that’s preferred. I have a large, fenced off garden with a padlocked gate. The house also has multiple security cameras too, covering all entry points. I don’t have crates, but I have plenty of space for them if provided. Your fur baby would have full access in the house, I don’t mind them exploring or using furniture.
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.
About: Hii! My name is Niamh, and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've been fortunate enough to be a cat and dog owner and currently have a family rescue cat and dog called Batman and Bob in Spain! I am originally English, but I moved to Spain a few years ago and found my lovely pets. I have been looking after my friends' and my parents' dogs in my family home for several years. I've mainly looked after smaller dogs, but I don't have any issues working with a medium-sized breed of dog:) I would love to care for your pet when you're away. I've lived in Stalybridge for a while and love it, but I've been missing being around my pets. So I thought, let's look after pets! My services: 🦮Dog walks, feeding, playing, keeping them company I am able to pop in if needed to keep your pet company, play with, feed, or walk. If specified, I will collect any mail or deliveries to put in a safe space and water plants if needed! When booking, please tell me about your pet's characteristics and any quirks to keep myself and your pet safe and happy! (The more you tell me, the better) To note! I require, before all bookings, to do a meet and greet so your pet and I are both as comfortable as possible, and I can collect house keys if needed:) I am a full-time sitter, so I can feed, play with, and walk your pet for as long as requested! I am often available, but do check my calendar for my availability. Once we have discussed your pet's typical routine, I will slot it into your schedule and keep it as close to it as possible!
About: I believe in truly 'person-centred'—and paw-centred—care! In my professional life as a support worker, I specialise in understanding individual needs and building trust. At home, I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud parent to a GSD and a kitten. I’d love to look out for your best friends whilst keeping your routine intact and your pets completely at ease. I have had pets in my family for the last 25 years and don't remember a time I didn't have an animal or 4 running around the house. I regularly am trusted to look after and walk my friends and families dogs and check on cats and am confident with all shapes and sizes and breeds. Balancing my career and my love for animals is easy thanks to my 4-day work week. It leaves me with three entirely free days each week to dedicate 100% of my time to walking your dogs and visiting your homes. On the 4 days I am working, I am still available for local early bird walks or evening tuck-in visits. Just drop me a message with your required dates, and we can easily coordinate a schedule that keeps your pet perfectly on routine. I understand leaving your home and pets in someone else’s hands requires complete peace of mind. In my daily job as a support worker, managing safety and building trust in sensitive environments is what I do best. When looking after your pets, their wellbeing is my absolute priority. I am highly observant of animal behaviour - skills I practice daily with my own German Shepherd Kai and baby kitten Mika. Whether managing a powerful dog on a walk or double-checking that your doors are securely locked, I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, care, and attention to detail, like I do my own. I am also DBS checked.
About: I can’t have dogs or cats in the place im currently living so would love to be able to look after some. My parents dog has complex needs so i have experience with that I work 8.30-4.30 weekdays but finish at 2 on a Friday, from September i will be WFH one day a week. Will be free weekends I can do my best to keep your pet happy and comfortable based on their needs and can follow any particular rules or requirements needed
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.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Tameside
Laura was excellent. She responded to all communication immediately when we were booking her. Arrived on time for our introductory meeting. Attended each day at the agreed time and sent us photographs of our two cats every time. They both had strokes and cuddles from her and we felt reassured and trusted her totally. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Thank you Paige, absolutely amazing. 1st time we asked Paige to look after our cat Lucy. Suburb service, very attentive and hopefully the start of a new friendship for Lucy. Felt very reassured she was being looked after and in very safe hands. Definitely be booking Paige again. Absolutely 100% recommend, a lovely lady!
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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Tameside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tameside on Rover is £12.65 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 1,980 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.
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.
