“Imogen facilitated a super fast meet and greet so I could make a last minute placement that had been sprung on me and we are so glad to find her - nothing was too much trouble and Jackson was super settled in Imogen’s company 😊”
“Jack is Diamond Dog’s regular sitter. She is so happy to see him and drags me in first thing, ready for her morning fuss. She’s well cared for and returns a very happy girl.”
“The great care that Daniel and family provide for Harry continues. Harry loves his days at his home from home and I enjoy receiving the photos and updates throughout the day. Harry is definitely looking forward to his next stay with Daniel.”
“Sarah has been a fabulous sitter for our pup Teddy. She is very accommodating, provides a lovely warm and settled atmosphere and really helped us with the day to day training of a young pup whilst I juggled work in an office and childcare. Teddy always came home happy and loved his days with Sarah! Would definitely recommend.”
“Amelia, Was amazing with our puppy Ozzy. He is a quite a handful only being 11 weeks old. She was so kind and sending us regular updates on Ozzy and pictures. He looked rather relaxed. Thank you Amelia We will be using Amelia with our beautiful Ozzy again”
“Demi is my absolute go to for dog sitting for my incredibly bouncying and needy 1 year old Sproodle. Gives lots of updates and always confirms needs prior to the day, which is appreciate with my owns change in needs as he grows. Recommended to friends already”
“Candace was fantastic! I contacted her at v short notice & she was super accommodating & made Mae feel so welcome in her lovely pooch friendly home. She gave me regular updates and gave Mae a lovely fun safe day of pup sitting. She went the extra mile - thanks so much!”
“Melissa was a life saver at very short notice! As soon as I arrived with Toby, it was obvious how caring she was. Toby barely noticed that I'd left and he had a great day. Lots of pictures and regular updates were gratefully received. Making a second booking now!”
“Maisie had a great time at Rebeccas - she had walks and playtimes and was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Rebecca and her partner clearly love dogs! I'm about to book again.”
“Stan had a brilliant time at Sarah's, a testament to her, that he actually ate when he was with her. Stan normally won't eat his food for around 12 hours if I'm not around, even with my husband, so for Stan to eat is a huge sign he was happy. He came back tired 🤣 obviously been a busy boy. Thanks for taking such good care of Stan Sarah and we look forward to seeing you next week 😄”
“Hannah was great. Branwen clearly loved spending time with her and the toys she provided by the pictures! Hannah kept me updated throughout the day and clearly took lots of care of Branwen. Would definitely book again!”
“Valeria is an amazing dog sitter. Really responsive to my messages right from the start. Sent updates & photo's of my dog throughout the day. I will definitely be using her again to take such good care of my girl.”
About: Hi I’m Ellie - I’ve been looking after pets for friends, neighbours and colleagues since I was around 11 and in the last few years since working from home have been able to take advantage of this and offer more regular care. I’ve had small pets all my life but have never owned a dog or cat (despite loving them I know you have to have the right situation for a long-term pet). Because of this I have been taking any opportunity to dog/cat sit available. Care responsibilities have included anything from walking and feeding to daily check ins and enrichment, as well as pet sitting for longer term in situ or at my place. This has included anything from short weekend stays up to 5 weeks. Currently I am on a sabbatical from work until August 2nd and so have lots of availability and time during the day. This means your pets will get lots of attention and long walks where needed! Usually I work full time (4 days) but this is a computer based job which I do from home 3/4 days and have the flexibility to change this to be working full time from home when required for pet sitting/walks etc. I am able to work flexibly during the day as well meaning I can fit time in for longer walks (1.5hr+) during the day as well with no trouble. I pride myself on being flexible to suit pets needs and routines meaning I can increase/reduce activity levels based on age/preference/routines of whatever pet I’m caring for. I like to fit caring for pets into my life, they’re not a disruption but the best addition. For example I sometimes volunteer in the Peak District and have taken dogs on some lovely walks there as part of this. I live in a bright ground floor flat which is fully secure with a secondary door for security as well. Pets are allowed on furniture (but this can be prevented if this is part of your home routine) and pets have full roam to explore the house. I live about 5 minutes walk from many amazing Chorlton green spaces including Chorlton and Sale Water Parks which are great locations for dog walks!

We reached out to Neda last minute, the day before we needed care and right from the start, her communication was brilliant. She asked thorough questions about Wilma’s routine and gave us so much reassurance when we dropped her off the next day. During the day, Neda sent us a lovely video update of Wilma getting cuddles, which was such a thoughtful touch. At collection, she gave us a full update on how good Wilma had been. Wilma is back home now, completely happy and relaxed, so we know she had a wonderful time. Neda is so kind and reliable, we will 100% be booking her again! 🐾 Thanks so much Neda ☺️
Eva and Mike are truly fantastic! From initial communication and arranging a meeting and greet to how well they looked after Groot, they were wonderful. They put up with me talking their ears off about him, things to note, as well as his routine etc but were really engaged. They really took care of him during the 2 days he was there. He came back happy and well looked after. Would absolutely recommend and we look forward to booking with them again. Thank you Eva and Mike!
I can’t recommend Emma highly enough. Charlie has a wonderful time when he stays with Emma and her partner. They send me pictures to keep me updated and I can see Charlie is a very contented dog in their care. Charlie has stayed several times already and is booked in again in the near future

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Trafford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Trafford on Rover is £23 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,745 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Trafford. About 87% of Trafford 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Trafford commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in North West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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 .
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.
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 dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
