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.
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.
“This is our second time having Paige look after our pets and it has removed all the anxiety of being away from home. Her postcards always bring a smile and her updates are always thoughtful and pet centred. She’s very attentive to each pet based on their personality and it’s been a joy to put them in her care so we can go on holiday with peace of mind. We will definitely be using Paige again and cannot recommend her enough. If you’re worried about leaving your animals for a holiday or looking for someone new to pet sit, Paige is your girl!”
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.
“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.”
“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”
“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 :)”
“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 :)”
“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 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: Hi, I’m Michael. I’m the person who always stops to say hello to dogs on the street and ends up making friends with the resident cat. I’ve looked after pets for friends and family for a long time, simply because I love being around them. My goal is to make sure your pet feels completely safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I love getting to know their unique personalities—whether they want to play, go for a long walk, or just curl up nearby for some quiet company. I’m also very reliable and respect your routine. I will stick strictly to your feeding schedules, keep your home secure, and send you regular photo updates so you can see they are happy and relaxed. If you want a sensible, trustworthy sitter who will treat your pet with genuine care, drop me a message so we can chat. I am self-employed as a meditation teacher and wellness event facilitator, which means my schedule is incredibly flexible. Because I manage my own hours, I can easily fit entirely around your cat’s specific routine and feeding times without any rush. Being in the wellness space means I naturally bring a calm, grounded, and gentle energy into your home—entirely drama-free. Animals are incredibly sensitive to the energy around them, and I find they respond really well to a peaceful environment. Whether I am dropping in or staying over, your home will remain a tranquil space, and your pet will get a sitter who is patient, present, and completely attentive to their needs. When it comes to your home and your pets, safety and trust are my absolute priorities. Because I facilitate wellness events, I am naturally a very observant, clean, and respectful person. I take home security seriously, double-check locks, and ensure your space is kept exactly as you left it—just with an extra dose of peace and quiet. I know how much your animals rely on a predictable, secure environment to feel safe while you’re gone. Whether I’m looking after a dog who needs a calm, confident handler on walks or a cat who requires a peaceful house to feel relaxed, I adapt my approach to suit their personality. I am fully focused on creating a stress-free experience, sticking precisely to your safety rules, and keeping you updated so you never have to worry about a thing.
“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 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’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’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet as an individual. I’m happy to cater for every pet from energetic puppies who need extra attention and positive reinforcement to older pets who need a slower pace and a little more care. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they’re with me. I’ve always loved being outdoors and spending time in nature, and dog walking is one of my favourite ways to enjoy it. I love getting out for long walks, exploring new places and, of course, having a four-legged companion along for the adventure! I currently work full time 9-5 so will be available before or after work for walking your furry friends. I am also fully available on weekends so you can enjoy those well deserved weekend breaks without worrying about your pets. I keep things relaxed and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddle, all in the comfort of their own home so there’s no need to invite them into an unfamiliar setting. I’m happy to follow any specific feeding, walking or care instructions so they feel at home.
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 after dinner times, and occasionally free before dinner times so just message me to find out! I also do overnight stays in your home😊 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

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.

Yes. There are up to 5,209 pet sitters offering care in and around Tameside. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
