About: We are experienced dog sitters with plenty of love to give! We both work remotely from home so we can offer your dog our full attention and spoil them silly! We have a mixed Bichon at home with us (DouDou) who is very calm and docile. We have experience dog sitting for and owning various breeds our entire lives. Rai is home based, studying online and working occasional evenings. Carly is in the office Tues-Thursday and available every evening, so one or both of us will always be around to keep your pet company as needed! We love hiking and running as much as a chill day at home on the couch so can offer your dog the best of both worlds! We have a fenced garden with grass for toilets breaks and lots of games, as well as a park just 5 minutes away for a chance to enjoy the outside. We’re a pets-on-furniture household but can accommodate if you’re training them not to.

About: With 12 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I bring medical knowledge, a calm demeanor, and deep compassion to every pet I care for. I'm comfortable giving medications, handling senior pets with mobility issues, and understanding subtle changes in behavior that others might miss. I’m also great with nervous or shy animals—patience and kindness go a long way. As a proud cat mom, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always tailor my care to match. As a full-time mom with a flexible schedule, I’m home most of the day and can easily fit pet care into my routine. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays, I make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and love they need. I plan my day around their comfort, keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment—clean, secure, and free of hazards. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical instructions. In a pet owner's home, I respect their space and keep everything just as they left it. I take time to build trust with every pet, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved whether we’re at my place or theirs.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and current owner of Seamus the Sprockerpoo. I grew up with collies and labradors, and I love going on long, energetic walks. On school holidays and weekends I'm available throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks and meal times, I can cater to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced garden with a friendly male sprockerpoo for company, with quick access to the canal for walks. Dogs have access to the whole house.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, different sizes and breeds. I used to volunteer on a shelter from the age of 16 when I was still living in Spain, and I also helped my brother with his dog business when I was at home. I groom my own dog and I have groomed other dogs too :) I brought my 13 year old Cocker Spaniel to Manchester with me in 2015. He's still by my side, he's getting old and is castrated, he's a very relaxed good boy :) I gave up on my career 2 years ago due to motherhood. Not planning to go back to my office days. Plenty of time in my hands to allow for flexibility and the right care for your pet. :) I'm currently off work as I have been taking on a career break to extend my child's care. She's now attending to nursery. With 3 days notice to get organised, I can be available anytime, on a daily/weekly basis. Hello! I'm Blanca, I am based in Carrington, with beautiful fields and countryside at the door step of my house, which also has a very good sized garden. I gave up on my career to extend my child's care, but now she's going to nursery and she's on 50/50 shared care. I own a 13 years old Cocker Spaniel, and I have owned other breeds in the past when I used to live at home (German shepherd, Jack Russell & Pitbull). I enjoy spending time with dogs and even though I do not hold any professional certification, I would be able to guarantee the best care for your pet. As a Spanish woman living in Manchester for the past 12 years, I know how important it is to find someone reliable and truly caring to look after your best friend, especially when you have no family members to support you with this. I have been on the other side for many years when I was working in the office or when needing to travel back home. Whether you need dog walks, night care or full day care while away, I can be here for you to offer that top-notch support so your pets always feel loved and cared for in a warm and welcoming environment for them. My services include attentive pet sitting tailored to your pet's needs. From fun play sessions to relaxing walks, your dogs will receive the best care possible. With my experience and devotion, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. If you're interested in personalized pet care and want to discuss your needs further, feel free to message me

As the owner of two rescue dogs, one of whom is pretty nervous with separation anxiety, we were a little worried about leaving them with someone else but we need not have worried. Mel and Steve are lovely and the dogs settled very quickly. They were shattered when we picked them up and the photos Mel and Steve sent showed the dogs had a brilliant time 🙂

About: I have experience with big dogs, having had a Rottweiler, and Huskies, as well as energetic dogs like border collies. I frequently look after a nervous Romanian rescue called Mabel I work from home, so have a lot of time during the day for dog walks, and am always ready to give pats. Having had dogs all my life, I love walking and walk everyday, so bringing a friend would be a bonus! Having had pets, I know that they are always a part of the family. I treat each pet as my own with plenty of pets and encourage positive training!

Samia has been amazing in caring for Oaty and so patient with him. This is our returning daycare with Samia and Oaty is so excited to see her and that speaks volume to how happy he is with her. Samia is very kind to make extra snacks for Oaty and spend time to bond with him through play, walks and chill time. We really appreciate her help and Oaty definitely had a great time with her and her little pup, Bleu.

About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have always been the person friends and family rely on when they need someone dependable to care for their pets. I currently have a 3-year-old cocker spaniel called Ozzy, so I understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and giving dogs the right balance of attention and calm. I also regularly look after my mother-in-law’s 4-year-old lab, Max, which has given me experience caring for larger, energetic dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, play, overnight care and sticking closely to routines that help pets feel settled and secure while their owners are away. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else, so I always aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care and regular updates throughout. I work from home, so my routine is very flexible and I can plan pet care around each dog’s needs. I’m available for dog walks and home visits on weekdays between 11:30am and 2pm, and I’m also available at any time on weekends. I’m happy to work around regular routines, whether that means a steady walk, a lunchtime check-in, feeding, playtime, or simply giving your pet some company while you’re out. For walks and visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, settled and cared for in their usual routine. I’ll follow any instructions closely, make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and give them attention, play or a calm walk depending on their needs. As a dog owner myself, I’m attentive to behaviour, exercise needs and giving dogs the right balance of play, structure and downtime. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any specific requirements so they receive care that feels familiar and consistent. I’ll always keep owners updated, so you know your pet has been looked after properly while you’re out.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 12. My first doggy was a poodle, now 12 years old, who currently stays with my mum. My dog, Oreo, is a 3-year-old whom I’ve been taking care of since she was just 3 months old. My boyfriend and I are both working from home at the moment, allowing us to give dogs plenty of attention. We enjoy taking dogs for walks before work, during lunchtime, after work, and before bed. We are fortunate to have many green areas nearby that are perfect for dogs to play, and we also have a fenced garden where they can roam safely. Oreo is warm-hearted and friendly. She loves making new friends and has been spayed. She enjoys plenty of snacks and toys at home and is always happy to share with other dogs. I also have a passion for making homemade snacks for dogs. Your furry baby is more than welcome to try all our tasty recipes! We enjoy taking dogs for walks before work, during lunchtime, after work, and before bed. We are fortunate to have many green areas nearby that are perfect for dogs to play, and we also have a fenced garden where they can roam safely. We have a fenced garden and a cute dog to keep your baby happy and cosy. The neighboured dogs are mostly small or medium sized too and super friendly.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Family's, friend's, neighbour's and stranger's. They came in all shapes and sizes. I have experience looking after dogs with challenging behaviours and history of trauma as all of my family dogs were either adopted or previously abandoned and found roaming free in the streets by myself or others. I have experience with puppies as well as older dogs. I am currently on a career break so my schedule is completely free. Full availability during the week as well as weekends and overnight stays. Taking a personalised approach- I recognise every pet is different, so I make sure to get as much info as possible from their owners regarding routine, favourite toys/snacks, feeding times, any special needs they may have.

About: I’ve taken care of various dogs over the past 5 years for family and friends walking, feeding them and sometimes staying over night making sure all their needs are met. I have a soft spot for cockapoos and cavapoos! I currently work from home so I am available to look after your dog at mine in the week or take your dog out for a walk at lunch time or early evening. I am also available at weekends for boarding. I have a fenced garden, and there are no other pets in my home so they will have plenty of attention! I am also happy to travel to your home to care for the dog.

5/5 Stars – Highly Recommend Francesca! Francesca has been looking after Jester for a few stays now, and we couldn't be happier. Right from our initial meet-and-greet, I was impressed by how methodical and thorough she was in asking about Jester's specific needs, routine, and care details. It’s instantly clear how much she genuinely loves dogs, which gave me complete peace of mind. I feel entirely comfortable and confident leaving him in her care. Her communication throughout each stay is fantastic—the Rover cards and updates are always excellent and keep us fully reassuringly connected. I can't recommend Francesca enough!

​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!

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 September 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 2,796 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 .
