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.
“My 2 dogs have been cared for by Nicola. 2 walks/play for both of them throughout the day. It enabled me to spend a whole day with my grandchildren without rushing back to them. A real peace of mind. Thank you Nicola. You are an angel xx”
“Kayleigh did a fabulous job with Puss. Puss is very nervous of new people but she took to Kayleigh straight away. Kayleigh fed her, cleaned up after her and made sure she was ok without crowding her. 🥰”
“Very happy with Neoma, my cat Henry is very anxious and scared of new people, told her that she prob wouldn’t see him much and just to put his food down etc but she sent me pics on the first day of her fussing him, he took to her straight away, I got regular updates, wasn’t worried about him at all while I was away, can definitely recommend”
“Rachel was an excellent cat sitter for John and a very good communicator who kept us updated each day. We would recommend Rachel and would not hesitate to have her look after John again!”
About: I have had dogs since my early 20’s. Friends and family have relied on me to dog walking and look after their fur babies. I am now retired so will have plenty of time to play and care for your dog. Three walks daily. I am at home the majority of the time so your dog will not be left unattended for long periods of time. I have a fenced garden and a cavapoo to keep your dog company. Non crated dogs welcome. Dogs will be treated as my own whilst they are in my care.
About: Over the years, I've taken care of every kind of pet, from dogs to guinea pigs, for friends and family as well my own including rabbits, dogs, fish, etc. I've been a carer for over 30 years, and now that I'm retired I'm looking to fill the days with something I love. I'd treat your furbabies as if they were my own. I'm recently retired so there's plenty of availablw time in my schedule to take care of and play with your pets, including weekends! I have a spacious fenced garden and only own fish. Living near a large park means there's plenty of open space to walk dogs.
“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 have been brought up with dogs my first dog was patsy who was a mixed breed medium sized dog we then went in to have German shepherd’s! I have had my own dogs in clouding a boxer, a mixed bully and a patterdale terrier. I understand all dogs come with their own personalities and quicks and I can adapt to make them feel as comfortable and as at home as possible! I live right next to the country side so lots of walks are guaranteed to accommodate the dogs needs! Cuddles are a must and will be given freely! I would insist on a meet and great first to ensure not only you are comfortable leaving your precious dog with me to to make sure they also feel comfortable. I am currently at home during the days and evening. I usually offer a morning afternoon and evening walk to suit your pets requirements! More or less if needed! I am flexible around their needs!

If they want to join me on the furniture for a cuddle they are more than welcome! I have a box of dog toys they can enjoy and easy access to the garden with is safe and adapted to meet your dogs needs .
“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: 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.
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Sarah to look after my cat while I’ve been away, and I will continue to do so in the future. Sarah is very thorough in going through what Ziva needed while I was away, sent regular updates and photos, and gave Ziva lots of attention and care while I was away. I really recommend Sarah as a cat sitter”
“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!”
About: I am a part time dog walker and dog groomer so am used to dealing with dogs of all ages, size and breeds. I am also canine first aid qualified. Please note that your pup may be left for up to 6 hours (weekday only) due to work. They will be left with Neil who is a very well behaved boy and loves other dogs :) I have a camera so that I can keep an eye on them and I only work 10 minutes away. Dogs are allowed free roam of the house. I have a secure back garden which can be used for toilet breaks, however they will be taken for walks to the field nearby or to explore the local country park.
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: 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
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!

Laure was amazing! She cared for our 2 cats for a week whilst we were away and we received constant videos and pictures, you can tell she is so passionate about animals, she went above and beyond! Our cats seemed almost disappointed when we walked through the door and not Laura! Haha, thanks again!
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
Monina and Jordan have been amazing with Gino, Stan and Chester! 🐾 They were always super reliable and so sweet with the dogs, and even managed to help out when I had last-minute changes. Also, Gino’s training came on leaps and bounds after being with Jordan. We even got photos of the boys enjoying their walks, which we really appreciated. It’s such a relief knowing the boys were in such good hands — thank you both for being wonderful!

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 Tameside 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:

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.
